Chapter 84 Another Horrible Legend of the Dead

The Death Knight swung his sword.

A flash of sword light streaked across the sky, slashing towards the high priest in the sky. He had to interrupt the divine spell he was preparing and strengthen his protection.

The sword light hit the shields around him that were formed by sunlight.

The shield shattered, but it also blocked the sword light.
Another shield lit up in front of Lei Ming, and then he began to prepare more divine arts.

As a high priest, he was confident that he could deal with the Death Knight for a while.

The Death Knight raised the sword in his hand again, and another sword light flew out.

But this time, the target was not the high priest in the air, but the wall of the fortress ahead.

With a deafening roar, a gap appeared in the city wall.

"you!"

A violent explosion sounded, and the second defense node attacked by the undead was completely destroyed.

These soldiers are wavering and no longer believe they can win.

After a roar, the divine light hit the Death Knight, but the Death Knight seemed to be unaffected and continued to move forward slowly.

After seeing that the attack of their strongest man seemed to have no effect, the fear in their eyes grew stronger and stronger.

In the eyes of the soldiers, the undead are now an unstoppable torrent. Any attack is like throwing a stone into the torrent, which can only stir up a small ripple. However, in a blink of an eye, the ripple will be smoothed out again. It is just a futile effort.

The soldiers were still fighting, forming a formation at the gap in the city wall to block the undead from pouring into the fortress.

It is now almost unable to control the left half of its body. The soul that originally controlled that part has been dispelled by divine power. It just endures it and pretends to be unharmed.

The weakest skeletons began to become unstable, trembling and falling apart, but at the same time, the Death Knight raised his sword again.

Lei Ming could feel that the aura of the Death Knight had weakened, but it was obvious that the perception of the soldiers under him was not as sharp as his.

"It shouldn't be like this."

On the city wall, they squeezed out the little magic power left in their bodies, transformed it into spells, and shot it at the undead below.

The Death Knight seemed unaffected; he did not roar or retreat, but rode steadily on his skeletal warhorse.

Its Undead Legion also suffered heavy losses. In less than a day of fighting, tens of thousands of Undead had fallen. Even though many of the fallen Undead stood up again due to its characteristics, if you paid close attention, you would find that the torrent of Undead had actually become smaller.

"No, the spell still had an effect."

The threat was obvious. As long as Lemming continued his magic, the Death Knight's attack would fall on the fortress again. The soldiers in the fortress could no longer block the other gap.

The Death Knight was certainly not unscathed. Rather, the damage caused to it by the divine spell just now was even greater than Lemming had expected.

But the torrent of undead was still surging forward, and the soldiers on the defense line were more or less caught in fear. The fear blinded their perception and made them unaware of this.

Lemming began to chant prayers, preparing a large-scale divine spell. The sun gradually set, shining on the torrent of undead.

They operated heavy catapults, smashing huge rocks into the torrent of undead.

But now they are just mechanically executing orders.

A fifth-level divine spell, "Dispel Undead Souls", which can cause extra damage to the undead. This spell will disperse the souls that still control the body of the dead. Even for the Death Knight, this spell that directly acts on the soul can cause great damage.

The two strong men just faced each other in the air.

The battle was still going on, and most of the units on the defense line were still intact, and they had caused huge casualties to the Undead Legion. The exchange ratio on the battlefield exceeded the most optimistic estimate, but Lemming knew that they had already failed.

The most central defense node has not fallen yet, but the undead on both sides have already bypassed it and continued to rush forward.

Everyone understood this, they had already failed, the undead almost ignored them and passed through the defense line. However, the soldiers at the nodes on the two wings that were not hit by the undead torrent couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Explosions were heard behind the Death Knight, and several "small reefs" in the undead torrent were crushed.

It looked at the expressions on the soldiers' faces with satisfaction. Soon, another horrific legend about the undead would appear.

The torrent of undeads flooded the land behind the defense line, where there were still settlements that had not yet completed the evacuation.

There will also be many horror legends of the undead.

The Death Knight urged the skeleton horse under his crotch to move forward silently, bypassing the largest "reef" in the torrent before him.

The undead that were besieging the "reef" slowly faded away, and then left under the overwhelming long-range firepower all around.

The Death Knight has only one goal, to spread fear, and fear needs to be spread by living people.

"They left?"

The last undead within the fortress's range was shot in half by a crossbow.

Lei Ming glanced at the sergeant who asked the question beside him. He was the squad leader of the Shadow Crow Mercenary Group. He must have experienced many tough battles.

"They left."

Lemming heard the sergeant let out a long sigh, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.

"Clean up the damage, deal with the bodies on the battlefield..."

Laming began to issue orders one by one. This battle had been failed, but they still had to prepare for the next battle.

"Also, gather the troops and prepare to start the pursuit."

Lai Ming stared into the eyes of the sergeant in front of him. There was hesitation and fear in his eyes.

But the sergeant hesitated only briefly and then saluted Laming.

"Yes, High Priest."

Outside the fortress, the corpses were quickly processed. Holy water and fire could effectively prevent the corpses from becoming undead again. Occasionally, a corpse would stand up again under the influence of the Death Knight, but soon, the surrounding soldiers would calm it down again.

"Report."

A Skitarii staff officer appeared behind Lemming and handed over a report.

"1,150 killed, 2,312 wounded, 53 missing"

This is a casualty report. Compared with the more than 15,000 defenders on the defense line, the casualties are not heavy.

Lei Ming looked down at the city wall. The corpses of the undead were everywhere. The loss of those undead was at least over 100,000.

"We need to report this to the church. The behavior of these undead spirits is different from before, and their purpose is unclear."

Even for a high priest like Lemming, there are still some scriptures in the church that he cannot access, and he cannot judge the purpose of the undead based on the information he has.

"But they seem to be deliberately showing terror."

Lei Ming had a vague feeling in his mind, but what could terror do?

"No matter what, these undead will fail in the end. This is the result determined by the Lord."

Leiming prayed to his master, then walked down the city wall. A range soothing spell lit up in a corner of the battlefield. The high priest and ordinary clergy worked together to prevent the corpses from waking up again.
