king of the castle

Chapter 90 The Vanguard of the Undead Army

"Let's go back to the world of Turonzo!" Roger said firmly to the castle: "First start upgrading the primary weapon factory and primary barracks, and then go back!"

Roger made such a decision that surprised the Castle Hub. It tentatively asked, "Can't you go back after your mother's condition stabilizes?"

"No. 【】Even if I have traveled between the two worlds many times, for them I have never left." At this time Roger had completely figured it out, shaking his head and said calmly: "In this case It's better to use the precious soul power where it is most needed, and it's the same when I come back to accompany my mother for surgery. Although I have to worry about it for a while, it's better than dying at the hands of undead creatures because of insufficient soul power. It’s better to never see my parents in the future!”

Hearing Roger's words, Castle Hub was also relieved and said: "Very well, the thought of these shows that you are gradually beginning to mature, and I believe more and more that you can also achieve the same goal as the Lionheart King and make the entire Torenzo world. It's an astounding achievement."

"I don't have such big ambitions, as long as I can live comfortably and everyone around me is safe." Roger urged the castle master: "Hurry up and upgrade those two buildings, and then go back to the world of Torenzo Come on, stop wasting your soul power."

Of course, Castle Hub would not disobey Roger's order. After starting to upgrade the primary weapon factory and primary barracks, he immediately brought him back to the world of Torenzo.

Roger returned to the small and dim tent in a blink of an eye. The dark environment made it difficult for him to understand the surrounding situation for a while.However, Roger also knew that the situation was urgent, so he changed into the clothes he wore in this world in the dark.

When Roger was changing his clothes, he heard Chris shouting orders outside, asking the soldiers to prepare for battle immediately to meet the attack of undead creatures.Although Roger enjoys a quiet moment, the urgency puts him in immediate combat mode.At this moment, Roger felt his blood boil, as if his whole body was full of strength, and he was ready to fight the undead creatures desperately.

Roger hung the sword he snatched from Lingxu on his waist, and hurried out of the tent.The few soldiers who served Roger with Chris were ready to fight. As for the soldiers trained by the castle hub, they have always maintained a state of being ready to fight at any time, so-called ready or not.

Roger glanced around and saw no other knight, and quickly asked Chris next to him in a low voice: "Where's Phil?"

"He went to investigate the enemy's situation."

After listening to Chris's answer, Roger nodded slightly.Phil was the strongest among them, so if he was going to be a scout, there was no need to worry too much about his safety.

Chris wasn't too worried about Phil, but was very worried about everyone's safety, so he couldn't help but said to Roger, "My lord, why don't we retreat to the Lington Pass first?"

"Now we have no retreat." Roger rejected Chris's suggestion, pointing to an area close to the river bank: "Let our people never enter this place!"

After listening to Roger's order, Chris was taken aback again.The area defined by Roger was sandwiched between two rivers that converged here, surrounded by water on three sides and only one side could pass through freely, which was the most suitable terrain for defense.But Roger actually ordered the soldiers not to enter that area, which really puzzled the knight.

However, since he swore allegiance to Roger, Chris would not question his order at this time, but quickly moved the soldiers forward for a certain distance, vacating the area designated by Roger.

Roger stared nervously at the pitch-black Great Plains, only waiting for Phil to bring back the latest enemy situation.Although he can now summon the castle to the main material world, every moment the castle stays in the main material world consumes the power of the soul.So Roger would never summon the castle in advance unless it was really needed.

The tense waiting didn't last long, when Roger heard hurried footsteps.He soon saw Phil running wildly under the blue moonlight, and three black knights were chasing after the knight.After all, Phil is a knight rather than an assassin who is good at hiding his whereabouts. It is expected to be discovered by undead creatures.

What really disturbed Roger was that the undead creatures chasing Phil were actually three black knights. Just because the other party sent such a strong force to chase a scout, the attack of the undead creatures this time was definitely not random. resolved.

Although the power of the undead creatures is unprecedentedly strong this time, Roger is no longer what it used to be.Under his command, the long spear militia standing at the front parted a line to let Phil pass, and then raised their long spears in unison, stabbing the three black knights off their horses.

Immediately after the black knight fell from the horse, the dagger fighters stepped forward, surrounded them and launched a fierce attack.Although the black knight's strength is not weak, but with such a tacit cooperation, he has no power to fight back at all, and is soon chopped into pieces together with the bone horse under his crotch.

At the same time, Phil also came to Roger.The knight didn't care to take a few breaths to rest, and immediately said to Roger: "My lord, there are a lot of undead creatures coming this time, and the number I saw is at least three or four thousand!"

Knowing that Phil was right, Roger's expression became serious.Thousands of undead creatures are indeed a very powerful force, and they cannot be taken lightly no matter what.

However, before Roger could open his mouth, Phil threw out an even more shocking news: "And I suspect that what I arrived was only part of the undead army, because... because they are all cavalry!"

"It's all cavalry?!" As soon as Phil's voice fell, Chris said in surprise: "Thousands of undead cavalry? Phil, you can't be wrong, right?"

Chris's words seriously questioned the judgment of the other knight. Under other circumstances, a duel might be triggered immediately.But Phil and Chris have known each other for many years, and already know this old friend's temper very well, so he was not angry, but continued to say to Roger: "I suspect that these cavalry are just the vanguard of undead creatures, and more infantry are still there." It didn't arrive later!"

Roger agreed with Phil's test, but he didn't understand why the undead creatures would attack an outpost that had already been occupied by them in such a big way.Could it be that I have really attracted the attention of these guys, and I just want to get rid of them quickly?

But now is not the time to think about this issue, because at this time Roger has faintly heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes, and those undead cavalry are obviously very close to here.
