The knight in the abyss

Chapter 548 Breaking the Fortress
The ambush was very successful. From Lancelow's surprise attack to the end of the battle, the total time spent was less than a minute.After the soundproof cover was removed, the noisy sound from outside the door came in again. Obviously, the remaining defenders in the fortress were not aware of the battle here, and were still making desperate preparations for the final resistance.

After packing up their equipment, everyone left the three corpses behind and walked out of the barracks cautiously.Outside the room is a circular corridor with an empty patio in the middle.Looking down from the edge of the corridor, you can see that they are on the third floor of the fortress. There are dozens of frost giants holding spears and throwing axes in the corridors of each floor.

These guards were staring nervously at the hall on the first floor. Their attention was focused on a large pile of debris piled up against the wall on the east side of the hall, and they didn't notice the sneaky people.With the dull impacts from outside, the pile of debris also trembled at the same time. Presumably behind the pile of debris was the gate to the main building.

"Damn it, look what that is..." Brutal whispered, pointing to the three cages among the debris, "Snacks for the fortress guards?"

Lancelot saw those cages just now. Each cage was as big as the carriage of a carriage. It was filled with mortal races such as humans, dwarves, and halflings like cans. It seemed that they had just been pushed out of the kitchen. Used as a heavy object to block the door.

"If the zombies rush in through the gate, they will definitely tear the creatures in the cage to pieces." The elf priest turned to look at the human knight with some worry, "Can you order those undead giants not to attack the creatures in the cage?"

"That kind of order is too complicated for the zombies and me." Lancelot shook his head, "But as long as I stand by, they won't attack. Fortunately, the guards of the fortress should not be aware of this. Living people can be used as hostages, so we should be able to do something..."

"What's your plan?" the dwarf asked in a low voice. "Jump between the pair of clutter?"

"Basically yes." Lancelot nodded, "But we have to distract the guards first..."

Everyone retreated to the room just now, relying on Qingyuan Sword Art, Lancelot poked many small holes in the ceiling, and finally formed a big circle with a radius of five feet.

"As long as there are more than two giant zombies standing on it, the ceiling will collapse, and the remaining guards will never think that the fortress will be breached from the top." Lancelow said confidently to his partners, "In the When they are fully resisting the zombies rushing out from the third floor, we will take the opportunity to go down to the hall to protect those locked in cages."

"Sounds like a good plan." Brutal nodded, "but how do you get those giant zombies to climb onto the roof?"

"I..." Lancelot suddenly became speechless. That's right, the giant zombies outside are all mindless undead creatures. They don't have the kind of spiritual connection between me and little Isa. I want to give them orders, as if There is only one way...

"Let's hide in another room first." Lancelot shook his head helplessly, "I'll find my own way later..."

Everyone quickly slipped into another empty room diagonally opposite.This is also a bedroom with four stone beds, but it is far away from the steps coming up from the second floor. It is unlikely to be affected after a battle breaks out. It is perfect to go down to the hall on the first floor with only one rope. hiding spot.

Lancelot asked his companions to stay in the room for a while, and then walked out alone.Suddenly, darkness fell on the three-story stone castle. The light emitted by the torch was blocked by some invisible force. From a distance, it looked like a flickering will-o’-the-wisp in a cemetery, which could only illuminate the surrounding area less than a foot away. .

"In the name of the savior of Oasis Castle, Moglondal, and Pascole, the protector of the sworn devil, and the repair knights in the abyss..." A loud voice suddenly sounded, and the whole building fainted under that voice. Trembling, "I hereby command, all climb to the roof of this building and strike back at any hostile act!"

The moment the sound disappeared, the light returned, and the remaining frost giants looked around in a panic, but the sound seemed to be heard in every corner of the building at the same time, and it was impossible to locate the source.At the same time, Lancelot quietly returned to the room where his partners were hiding, a little afraid to look into the eyes of others.

"Brother, don't be like this, I think it's fine." Brutal comforted, "As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed."

Lancelot rolled his eyes and decided not to talk to the dwarf anymore.Heavy footsteps sounded from the ceiling above their heads. Those giant zombies without self-awareness and pain were very fanatical when they executed Lancelow's orders. They would insert their finger bones and arms into the stone wall without hesitation. Li Yi climbed up, without considering the harm it would cause to himself.

The frost giant guards reacted at this moment, and began to run towards the third floor, but their actions were destined to be too late.With the roar of gravel falling to the ground, Lancelow's arrangement just now took effect. Except for the first few unlucky ones who were thrown and almost fell apart, more giant zombies were attracted by the smell of the living and jumped down soon. , just in time to meet the fastest running guards.

A bloody battle broke out immediately.The frost giants who are still alive are stronger and better equipped, and their worship of the angry prince makes them fearless, but the dead frost giants are not only more numerous, but also have no concept of death at all.In addition, it may be Lancelow's illusion, but these zombies seem to become more crazy during the battle.

Could it be that they sensed Georgard's breath and awakened certain memories engraved in their bones?
Whatever they felt, Lancelot himself didn't notice anything in particular.He and his partners had already tied the ropes to those heavy stone tables, and while the fierce battle was in full swing, they grabbed the ropes and rushed out of the room, jumping out of the corridor.

This stone castle has only three floors for a giant, but it is equivalent to a ten-story tower for a race of normal size.For ordinary people, this jump required great courage, but even the least athletic Kara Lin jumped without any hesitation, and even without any protective spells.

Of course, when jumping, he subconsciously moved a little closer to Lancelot, as if the human knight was the source of his courage.

Still, a few frost giants spotted the people pedaling back and forth on the wall. They shouted loudly, trying to arouse the thoughts of their companions, while preparing to throw the javelins in their hands.

"damn it!"

Lancelot cursed inwardly, and at the same time had an idea, he activated the sword shield with all his strength.I saw a light green mask immediately appearing around him, dangling in the air very conspicuously, it seemed like a good target.
