king of the castle

Chapter 96 The Real Contest

According to the news sent back by the scouts, everyone in the Lington pass knew that tens of thousands of undead troops had appeared near the Thorin post, and they were attacking the small place guarded by only a few dozen people. 【】

After the news spread at the Lington Pass, it immediately caused everyone to panic.People knew very well in their hearts that tens of thousands of undead creatures were not needed to attack Thorin's outpost. These guys were obviously coming for the Lington pass.Although Killington Pass guards the throat of the Rund Peninsula, it is also guarded by thousands of soldiers.But this time, the disaster of the undead was fierce, so the news that there were tens of thousands of undead creatures nearby made everyone in the pass very nervous.Everyone believed that the army of the undead would surely launch an attack on the Killington Pass after sweeping Thorin's outpost down without any difficulty.Many people even felt that the undead creatures could easily overcome the pass and continue to advance to the hinterland of the kingdom.

People who have this idea also include Wade.Although the captain of the defense didn't get the slightest news from that lord that the undead army would attack the Lington Pass, the current situation forced him to prepare for the worst.

"Could it be that the lord has already decided to give up on me?" Wade paced anxiously in the office, feeling that he was facing the biggest crisis in his life.After a fierce ideological struggle, the captain of the garrison finally decided to seek help from the kingdom. Now that his secret of working for undead creatures has not been exposed, it is better to stand on the side of the human world. There is only one dead end in hand.

"Come here." Wade called the adjutant into the office and said, "Activate the magic circle of communication immediately, and ask for help from the military headquarters and the Privy Council!"

The communication magic circle can directly communicate with the high-level kingdom of the capital, but the consumption of each activation is also very alarming, and it is absolutely not allowed to be activated without emergency.Wade ordered to activate the magic circle for help, which shows how urgent the situation is now.

While Wade fears for his safety, Roger struggles for survival.

It has been a long time since the undead creatures launched an attack, and it is unknown how many zombies have been wiped out.The remains of countless undead creatures were scattered at the foot of the city wall, piled up to the height of a person.Even on the city walls, the remains of zombies can be seen everywhere, showing how cruel the battle is.

However, even if the undead creatures paid a heavy price, they didn't have any chance of retreating.Outside the city wall, there are still dense crowds of zombies, as if they can never be killed.Under Highfield's order, the zombies continued to climb towards the city wall stepping on the remains of the same kind with slow but determined steps.The zombies killed by Roger and others became stepping stones for the latecomers, making it easier for them to attack the city.The longer the battle lasted, the more locations Roger and the others needed to defend, and the greater the pressure they were under.

Roger has sent all the soldiers to the walls to prevent a steady stream of zombies from entering the castle.At the same time, every soldier trained in the junior barracks would immediately go into battle to strengthen the defense.But even so, the pressure on the walls is increasing.

In a few places, there were so many undead creature remains piled up, it was even to the point where zombies could walk directly onto the wall.These places have also become the places where the battle is the most intense. There are several times when undead creatures have attacked the city wall from these places. Fortunately, Chris and Phil, two strong men, lead the soldiers to recapture these places. control of the place.

Roger has also joined the battle. He kept waving the sword he snatched from Lingxu, chopping down one zombie after another from the city wall.Speaking of which, the weapons of the cultivators are easy to use. Roger is tired from chopping, but the sword is still as sharp as it was when it was just unsheathed.Every time a cold light flashed like a pool of autumn water, a zombie would be wiped out.

However, even though everyone was doing their best to destroy the enemy, the undead creatures still caused a lot of casualties to Roger.More than 30 soldiers have been killed so far, which is Roger's worst loss in previous battles.Although the junior barracks and the junior shooting range are training soldiers at the fastest speed, if this speed continues, it won't be long before Roger has no soldiers available.

"My lord, we won't last long if this goes on like this!" Chris cut the zombie in front of him in half with a sword, and then shouted to Roger: "Phil and I rushed out and fought a way to cover your retreat to the soul!" Let's go to the pass!"

Hearing what the knight said, Roger could only shake his head and smile wryly.Although Chris was thinking of protecting him, rushing out of the castle under such circumstances would only lead to a dead end. It might be better to stick to this place and maybe still have a chance.However, the knight's words also reminded Roger that it is indeed necessary to use some new methods to deal with the enemy, and it is impossible to eliminate so many undead creatures with head-to-head combat.

The methods that Roger can use now are naturally the remaining gasoline bottles and the stack of spells obtained from Lingxu.The use of gasoline bottles is restricted by the supreme law, and he doesn't want to rush to use it before the end of the mountain, so the only remaining choice is a spell.

Roger used this spell once when he was on Earth, and he named it "Sky Thunder Talisman".At this time, Roger took out a spell from the secondary space and threw it towards the place where the zombies were most dense.

Although the talisman seemed light and fluffy, after Roger threw it out, it landed accurately among the pile of zombies like a dart.Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "boom", and the power of the explosion shattered all the zombies within a radius of seven or eight steps into pieces, and the zombies further away were also affected, and fell to the ground staggeringly. .

"Hey, magic scroll!" Chris, who was not far away, had a panoramic view of all this, and couldn't help shouting happily to Roger: "My lord, I didn't expect you to have such a good thing!"

Under the current situation, Roger didn't have time to explain the difference between spells and magic scrolls. He just smiled at the knight, and then threw a few Thunder Talismans at the densest place of the enemy.

Undead creatures like to adopt crowd tactics, so they tend to be crowded together when attacking, which provides favorable conditions for the Thunder Talisman to exert its maximum lethality.After a series of explosions, many zombies were blown to pieces.There are more zombies that have been blown up without arms and legs. Although they have not been completely wiped out, they can no longer attack the city wall.

Highfield, who was watching the battle from a distance, also exploded, and the soul fire in his eyes couldn't help jumping a few times.The strength and resilience of these humans was beyond the expectations of the Death Lord, so that it felt the need to rearrange its tactics.

Under Highfield's order, the zombies flocking to the city wall stopped attacking, and slowly receded like sea water at low tide, leaving only a few similar wreckages outside the castle.

Although the attack of the undead creatures was repelled, none of Roger and the others cheered loudly.Everyone was exhausted from the fierce fighting, and there was no energy left to celebrate the victory.What's more, everyone knows in their hearts that the retreat of the undead creatures does not mean that they are safe, and more intense and cruel battles are waiting for everyone.
