Heart of the Castle

Chapter 344 Death Knight, Desperate Charge

The rapid and sharp alarm bell rang, waking up Wilps from the bed, who was in the middle of a dream. He opened his eyes, took a few heavy breaths, and let his beating heart slightly calm down, and then turned over and got up from the bed. , reached out and took the saber lying under the pillow first.

The four watchtowers of the Green Castle are ringing the alarm bell at the same time. The sound of the bronze bell echoes over the Green Castle, lights are lit in many rooms, and Dragunson's loud curses penetrate the wind outside the window. The whistling of snow.

"These damned guys, can't even stop such a big snowstorm?" Wilps heard him growl. "If Master Dragosson catches you, you must be chopped off..." A thunder rumbled across the sky, making Wilps thankful that he didn't hear any dirty words.

"...then roast it and feed it to the wolves!"

A wolf howl full of protest resounded immediately.

Wilps put on the breastplate and the helmet as quickly as he could. As for the troublesome armguards and metal skirts, it would be difficult for him to put them on without help, so he simply gave up. .He felt that his movements were already very fast, but when he walked out of his room, he happened to see a majestic figure disappearing around the corner of the corridor.

The khaki heavy armor made Wilps feel familiar, "Donal the Roaring Bear." He silently repeated the name, and then quickened his pace to catch up.

The blizzard made the slope leading to the city wall extremely slippery and difficult to walk, but Tang Na, who was walking in front, burst out with black Fierce Fire fighting spirit all over his body, and the high-temperature flames from hell quickly melted the ice and snow under his feet.Wilps was the second to climb up the city wall, stood side by side with him, and looked out of the city where Xue Wu was mad.

At first they couldn't see anything, the outside of the city wall was so dark that they couldn't reach their fingers, all they could see was the vast snow field, only the strong wind rolled snow, gravel and ice balls towards their faces, the power was so great, if they didn't Fighting Qi protection, it can cut the skin like a sharp knife.The two looked at each other, and for a moment, they even thought it was a false alarm caused by a false alarm.

However, soon, Wilps heard a sound that was different from howling wind and snow.The sound rolled from the depths of the wind and snow, like thousands of sledgehammers striking a bronze drum. The walls of Green Castle, which had stood unshakable for hundreds of years, trembled slightly under the sound, as if feeling a little overwhelmed.

"What's that sound? Cavalrymen? Are they crazy, riding horses galloping in such a big snowstorm?" A series of questions came from behind, Wilps looked back and saw several figures coming one after another from the ramp .Dragonson went first with his two-handed greatsword of monstrous size, followed by the knights of Dickway and Copeman, and the stern-faced Sir Grace with his longbow of silver fir. At last.

Except for Hall, Gavin, and Liat who are stationed in the high tower above the main building of the Green Castle, all the combat strength above the knights in the Green Castle has been fully assembled.

"It's really cavalry. Look, they're coming." Donna, who had been looking outside the city without looking back, said suddenly, with a heavy voice, full of surprise that couldn't be concealed.No one is more familiar with the power of the blizzard in the northern border than him, after all, he has experienced such a storm not long ago.Even though he tried his best to protect him with fighting spirit, his horse still couldn't last the whole journey, and fell to his death halfway. Donna definitely didn't think that every one of these enemies was a knight stronger than himself, let alone the great knight leader. , is a knight order composed of all great knights. Even in the early days of the Kingdom of Arthur, there was only one, and the members were less than 300.

That is King Arthur's personal guard, the famous Knights of the Blood Alliance!

Wilps looked out of the city wall, the thick snow and fog in his field of vision kept churning, he could hardly see anything, and then a knight who was covered in black steel armor from head to toe, only showing blood-red eyes was like The Grim Reaper generally appeared in everyone's sight, holding an epee wrapped in a miserable green light in his hand, and a black shield covering the left half of his body. On the shield was a grinning skull emblem.Then came No.2 and No.3, hundreds of knights armed to the teeth formed a giant iron fist that could not be ignored, and stepped through the wind and snow with a terrifying momentum that could crush the entire Green Castle, and moved forward. Push forward slowly.

"That badge!" Don Na's voice was filled with disbelief, "It's the divine emblem of Ku Ximu, the Eternal Sleeper!"

"Could it be the Resting Templar?" Wilps frowned and guessed.

"Although the Resting Templars are known for their tenacity, they are not able to move freely in such a terrible snowstorm..." Donner sighed heavily, and grabbed the bear-headed battle axe, "...Because they are still alive after all."

At the same time, there is only one possibility for those who meet the two conditions of being a Kuxijia believer and not being a living person, and that is to sue the dead.

Everyone felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts, especially the guards of the Green Castle who were pale.Telling the names of the dead is like a nightmare for any life. Wherever they go, they will not leave any breathing living creatures, but will bind all life to the death chariot of Withered Hope.

The hooves of the black-armored knights were getting closer and closer. The ground and the walls of the Green Castle seemed to be trembling slightly. The sound of thumping seemed to hit people's hearts directly, crawling into people's skin, making many people His face was pale and his hands twitched.

"Archers, prepare to fight!" Sir Grace's voice pierced through the snow, followed by Wilps' cry, "Don't panic, no matter how hard you tell the dead, you won't be able to make a man on a horse rush up the wall, Go get some logs and let them taste the power of this!"

This order seemed to break the curse that the accuser had placed on everyone, and the guards of the Green Castle rushed to the bottom of the city wall.Due to the needs of the recent repair work, a considerable number of logs were cut down as materials. Each of these logs with a diameter of at least [-] centimeters or more weighs more than a hundred kilograms, and the power of falling from the city wall is quite terrifying.

The deep horn sounded from the four watchtowers, and the familiar long sound made many people feel at ease.When the sound of the horn gradually faded away, Sir Grace raised his silver fir longbow, put on a silver alloy armor-piercing arrow, and aimed at the frontmost one of those black-armored knights, his eyes flashed sharply.

"Fire arrows!"

As the order was issued, the air was filled with hissing sounds, and a shower of arrows rained down from the four watchtowers on the left and right sides of the Green Castle. Immediately afterwards, the archers on the city wall also began to shoot arrows, and silver rays of light as dense as stars were continuously sprinkled. The charging formation of the black-armored knights was as precise as if the strong wind didn't cause much disturbance.

The black-armored knights held up their shields to resist the rain of arrows, but to their surprise, the whole body was made of fine steel, and the shield protected by dark magic seemed fragile under the strike of the silver light. Many of the arrow rain penetrated the shields and armors, biting deeply into their flesh.

If it is a human knight, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses in this round of arrow rain, and it is not known whether they will even retreat. However, these black armor knights are death knights who have already died once, and the physical damage is for them. , although not insignificant, does not constitute fatal damage.

Another round of arrow rain fell from the sky, and the alchemy archers moved quickly and steadily. Before the second round of arrow rain stopped, the third sharp arrow had already hit the bowstring.However, none of the black-armored knights, a horse fell down, and they charged forward in silence, because the shields did not have any defensive effect, and they no longer even raised their shields to protect themselves, but held high the dark undead magic tempering His epee, his body bursting out with a death fighting spirit as black as the eternal night.

Seeing these death knights who were full of arrow feathers, but still charged forward as if nothing had happened, there was a shuddering cry from the top of Greencastle, and many Greencastle guards turned pale, and Wilps and others His expression also became ugly.

As knights, they have no fear of enemies.No matter how powerful the enemy is, they dare to face each other with swords, but how to deal with this kind of enemy who is already dead and will never die again no matter how hard they hit?No one knows that weapons and armor can provide extremely limited functions, and the only thing that can keep them standing firm is courage.

Now the only thing that can stop the death knight from charging is the high wall of Green Castle that has stood firm for hundreds of years. No matter how powerful the death knight is, it is impossible to charge directly along the nearly vertical wall.

Wilps and Donna glanced at each other. They both participated in the battle against Lord Ridwan. There were also these hard-to-kill death knights, but Levi threw a fireball at them. , These knights in black armor immediately turned into big candles running around.

"Fire, they are afraid of fire."

"My lord of glory, we should have thought of this long ago! Some people used fire to repel the attack of the dead!"

"It's not too late to think about it now, prepare now..." Tang Na was only halfway through, when there was a violent vibration under his feet, and many people fell to the ground immediately. In a state of embarrassment, the rain of arrows constantly pouring down the city was interrupted.

"Damn it, it's the Earth Element Magic Earth Uplift!"

Wilps was the first to rush to the crenel of the city wall to look out, and then he couldn't help but uttered a blood-freezing cry of despair.It is rare for this titled knight to make such a sound. Tang Na immediately rushed over to look out, and suddenly felt his scalp go numb!
The land outside the walls of the Green Castle has been bulged upwards under the effect of magic, forming a long slope, the highest point is almost level with the city walls, and those black armored knights are riding their horses up the slope, like a black hurricane , Sweeping towards the top of the city!
