A baby dragon has built a nest outside the Novice Village

Chapter 83 They're Moving
"Are you finally leaving?"

Fari looked at Safrina at the entrance of the nest. She was stretching her body, her silver scales emitting a bright luster in the sun.

"It's pretty, but a little dazzling."

Fari muttered silently in his heart, twisted his neck slightly, and avoided the light that was reflected directly into his eyes.

"After all, I have signed a contract with the Sun God Cult. Although the contract allows me to have quite a bit of freedom in terms of my working hours and content, I still have to show up occasionally to see if I can be of any help."

After all, not far away, the war between humans and the undead has not ended yet.

"Do you want to come along?"

After stretching her body, Safrina looked at Fari who was lying in the cave.

Farrell hesitated.

Of course he knew that the undead were still rampaging outside the village, and from time to time goblins who were injured and unable to continue fighting would be sent back and assigned to other positions in the tribe.

Safrina had an urge to put her paw on Fari's forehead to see if the fever had changed his personality.

"Let's go together."

Savrina muttered to herself and retracted her claws that were about to reach out.

After all, the number of spare swords in the armory is limited. Even if they are all cut off, they can probably only kill half of these undead.

"No, dragons don't get sick."

Fari stood up, shook off the gold coins and treasures hanging on his body, and walked towards the exit of the nest.

Based on her previous understanding of Fari, Fari would probably just say a few perfunctory words to her at this time, and then continue to sleep on the pile of treasure.

"What are you waiting for?"

Although after a long period of destruction, most of the undead in this legion are skeletons and zombies that shatter at the slightest touch, but with that number, the frontline troops will not be able to eliminate them even if they stand still and do not resist.

Leiming has arrived at the front line. In the past few days, the number of undeads joining the Death Knight Corps has begun to decrease.

"My lord, the Death Knight and his legion are moving."

Obviously, almost all the dead within the range of his characteristics have been transformed into undead. Lei Ming knows that it won't be long before the Death Knight will drive his legion forward.

Safrina flapped her wings and soon came to Fari's side.

"Anyway, this is better than him lying in the nest motionless."

Safrina just asked casually, she really didn't expect Fari to go with her.

The current peaceful days are not guaranteed, and external threats may still break this peace.

Leiming was well aware of this, but it was not easy for the Undead to completely eliminate the resistance on this line of defense.

"Those undead spirits are still making a fuss outside, so I can't sleep well."

"Huh? Do you really want to go?"

Fari was already flapping his wings, hovering in the air, and Safrina put away her thoughts, flapped her wings, and flew into the sky.

“This line of defense cannot be held.”

This line of defense is filled with various fences, low walls, and obstacles, but the number of troops deployed on that "line" is not large, and it can only barely block a wave of vanguard troops composed of the lowest-level undead.

But Leiming was not prepared to directly block the attack of the undead at the beginning. The important thing on this line of defense is the defense nodes built on advantageous high ground that can support each other.

Each node is a small fortress, connected to other fortresses through tunnels. Even if the undead have an absolute numerical advantage, it will take a certain amount of time to capture such a small fortress.

There are hundreds of such small fortresses on this line of defense.

Timing is of the essence.

It takes time to build new skitarii, it takes time to build the defense line in the rear, and it takes time to move the settlement away from the possible attack direction of the undead. This transfer work has been going on for some time, but the undead that are rampaging in the rear have made this work very slow.

"Pour out all the long-range firepower on the defense line, and when the undead touch the front line, retreat to your respective defense points."

Following Lemming's orders, all kinds of firepower were poured onto the approaching Undead vanguards.

Rolling stones, hurling stones, spell bombardment, arrows, the purpose of those undead vanguards is to consume the defenders. The Death Knight himself does not think that these cannon fodder can break through the defense line.

"After rushing to the front line, this wave of undead will probably last for more than ten minutes before being destroyed. We can probably kill some goblins."

The Death Knight's most optimistic estimate was just that. He watched quietly from behind as the undead climbed up the fences and roadblocks of the defenders. Then, the defenders gave up their positions without hesitation.

The undead continued to fall, and the long-range firepower from the surrounding defense nodes continued to attack the undead who had just climbed over the obstacles and were not yet stable.

The Death Knight did not move, but his legion sped up and rushed towards the defense lines composed of nodes.

Lei Ming frowned. The actions of the Undead Army were not what he expected.

They did not hit the entire line of defense like a tide, but instead crashed into the center of the line like a more concentrated torrent.

"Dispatch troops from the edge nodes to support the center."

Leiming responded quickly and mobilized troops to strengthen the defense of those nodes in the central area.

The undeads climbed over the low walls and obstacles in front of them. Long-range firepower could only slow down their speed slightly. Finally, they crashed into the first defensive node in front of them.

Except for the undead who started to climb up under the high walls of those defense nodes, the other undead bypassed this node and continued to surge forward.

Then, they hit the next node.

They seemed not to care about the fire coming from the flanks and behind, and just kept moving forward.

"What are they doing?"

High Priest Lemming could not understand the behavior of the undead at all. Their flanks were wide open, and the defense points on both sides could easily tilt their firepower towards these undead torrents. And they seemed to not care about it at all.

"Even if we don't care about casualties, this kind of behavior is..."

The first zombie climbed up the city wall, waved his hands, whose fingers had completely rotted and fallen off, and slapped the soldiers beside him.

Its attack did not hit anyone, and two spears pierced its body. The goblin soldiers holding spears pushed forward and pushed the zombie that had climbed onto the city wall back down from the wall.

But the second and third undead appeared on the city wall.

"That node won't last long."

Lei Ming understood what these undead were going to do. He saw the undead continue to move forward. Under the cover of fire from all sides, the undead as the vanguard had arrived at the largest central defense node, which was in front of where Lei Ming was.

"They're going to force their way through this line."

Not to break through, but to go through.

Lei Ming looked at the soldiers beside him. They were still directing their firepower towards the Undead, but a hint of fear had begun to emerge in their eyes.

The dead moved forward in silence, and the soldiers felt that their attacks seemed to have no effect at all. No matter how many attacks they threw at them, the dead continued to move forward in silence.

"Boom!"

The first node hit by the undead detonated the magic circle reserved in it. The remaining personnel have been evacuated and are being replenished to other nodes that have been hit.

There was a hint of fear in the soldiers' eyes.

"We must stop them here, at least temporarily."

Warm sunlight emanated from Lei Ming's body. The sunlight seemed to have a physical form, carrying Lei Ming suspended in the air. Then, Lei Ming, who was preparing a divine spell, sensed a malicious gaze.

He saw the death knight staring at him.
