Carry the Ring of Elden with you

Therefore, during the three-day march, the Grek King's army maintained a high level of enthusiasm.

If the companions who are still at the junction know that they have fallen behind and made a mistake on the way with the king, they will not be laughed at for the rest of their lives until they return home.

They are not afraid of death. It is the belief of every golden people that the soul can return to the golden tree, and this is just a little earlier.

Just as Roland was about to say something, he saw Roger and D, who were sent by him to investigate the situation in Leiden City, walking into the camp in a dusty state.

"It looks like we are going to be busy, Lord Roland." Melina raised her beautiful eyes and saw the two people coming in, and said to Roland with a smile.

Roland returned the same smile to Melina, then stood up to greet the returning Roger and D.

"Tell me about the information you saw first, Roger. You go first." When the three homeless knights, White, Fazhuang and Arthur, came over, he asked Roger who was drinking water.

Roger adjusted his breathing, and then reported smoothly: "D and I decided to split up after entering Leiden City. He, who was restrained against the undead, went to investigate the situation of the undead army, while I went Over there with the defenders of Leiden City.”

Then Roger's face showed anger. He suppressed the emotion and said: "Most of the people resisting the undead on the Leiden City Front are women. I observed them for a long time and confirmed that they are just ordinary city citizens. , has not received any military training, and is not an all-female army.”

Roland frowned and asked: "Is it because all the soldiers in Leiden City are dead and these women need to go to the battlefield? Where is the army that broke out before?"

"It was the troops who broke out of the encirclement who put swords on the children's necks at the back, and those women gritted their teeth and persisted on the front line." Rogel said: "I don't know why they did such a thing that is outraged by both humans and gods. I want to observe more. After a while, I was discovered by the passing undead. In order to avoid attracting the attention of the Leiden City defenders, I went to join D, while recording the distribution of buildings in the city, and then retreated."

White waited for Roger to finish speaking and then said: "I think those soldiers should be recharging their strength, Lord Roger. This army has been very strange from the beginning, as if it is waiting for someone to arrive, and there is no trace of it at all. Care about the lives and lives of people in Leiden."

Roland said faintly: "Is it possible that there are others coming to Leiden City now besides us? This army is a great gift from the Charles Empire to us, ready to give us a fatal blow when we fight the undead."

Chapter 11:The true strength of the King’s Army

"D, please report the situation on the undead side." Roland asked D, skipping the previous topic.

After all, we are going to fight the Charles Empire, and there is no use in continuing to worry about the army on the opposite side. It is better to spend more energy thinking about how to deal with them.

D pondered for a moment and said: "The movements of the undead are a bit weird. Apart from ghouls and living corpses, I only saw a small number of special individuals. With the current military strength of Leiden City, it would be unreasonable for the undead to capture it. .”

"Have you found any undead similar to the leader?" Roland asked.

D thought about the scene he saw in his mind carefully and shook his head: "I'm sorry, Lord Roland, I didn't find any undead similar to the leader."

"Then he must be hiding. It seems that the leader of this undead army is quite intelligent." Roland continued: "Rogel, which direction do you think is better for us to enter the city from Leiden City?"

Roger possessed the magic power of pyroxene and drew a simple and easy-to-understand map of Leiden City in the air, so that Roland and others could clearly see the situation in Leiden City.

"According to my observation, the east and west sides of Leiden City are not where the main army of the undead is located. There are only some scattered low-level undead activities in these two areas." Roger moved his fingers slightly and marked the west and east sides with magic. Green symbolizes safety: "The defenders of Leiden City are now all in the south of the city, and the main force of the undead is concentrated from the center to the south of the city. The situation in the north of the city is in a mess, and D told me that the bottom has sunk there. It has become a realm of death, filled with the smell of death everywhere.”

D nodded: "Yes, it is difficult for living people to survive in a place that has become a dead zone. If the king's army steps into it, although it will not cause death, its actions will be affected to some extent. If there are prophets among us who are proficient in golden prayer, we can If you use the 'Golden Tree Oath' prayer, you can be immune to the negative effects of the dead realm. I am proficient in the offensive prayers of hunting the dead, and I have not learned this type of prayer to gain protection."

Roger's hand followed D's words and marked the north of Leiden City as pitch black.

"If it's a prayer to the level of 'golden tree oath', I think I can do it." Melina, who had been sitting quietly listening to their exchange of information, suddenly said.

Just now when D was talking about being proficient in golden prayers, Roland couldn't help but look at Melina. He had the impression that this girl had used prayers about the 'holy' attribute many times during the battle with Menggert.And when she exits, this girl will use her last strength to release a golden tree projection to continue to heal the injured players.

The 'holy' attribute is only shown by the forces to which the golden tree belongs in the game, especially since Melina's mother is probably the Eternal Queen Malika, so it is not surprising at all that Melina says she knows how to pray to Roland with gold.

"However, it is not suitable for us to enter from the north of the city. It is best to choose the west of the city." White said, pointing to the map and said: "If we enter Leiden City from the north of the city, we may cause the siege of the undead. It will cost more to break through to the south of the city. time."

Roland agreed: "That's right, our primary goal is not to clean up these undead, but to find the commander of Leiden City. So let's do it. We will enter the city from the nearest west of the city, and then move as quickly as possible Follow the city wall to the south of the city and find the commander of Leiden City to implement the capture plan. After he admits that Leiden City is nominally my city, I will immediately summon the Hyde Fortress and set up a blessing teleportation point to send Hyde to the city. The fortress is included in the sphere of influence of the golden tree."

"Due to the golden tree's natural restraint against the undead, our follow-up cleanup work can also be easily carried out. At that time, I can summon the Troll Knight and a big tree guard from the junction, and I will take them back to Morn through blessing City, while the others will defend the city at Hyde Fortress. Once the battle in Morn City is over, I will immediately lead the Troll Knight and Akil back to Hyde Fortress to support you and clean up the remaining undead and enemy troops in Leiden City. Do you understand? ?”

Others responded to Roland and expressed their understanding.

"Very good, order the king's army to march. White, I am responsible for controlling the general direction, but you will be responsible for directing the specific combat operations, okay?" Roland looked at this reliable knight who had lost his home and asked.

White replied confidently: "Please rest assured, Lord Roland. I will use the optimal solution to complete the strategic goals you have assigned."

Soon, the monarch's army quickly transitioned from a state of repair to a state of war without the need for mobilization.The face under the helmet of every King's Army member was full of enthusiasm and excitement. They stretched and adjusted their bodies to the best condition to face the upcoming difficult battle.

"set off!"

The majestic horns belonging to the Golden Dynasty sounded on the ground west of Leiden City. The royal army proudly raised the banners embroidered with golden trees and charged towards Leiden City.

For the king's army, the distance of just a few kilometers was quickly crossed, and they soon arrived at the foot of Leiden City.

The defenders who were sent by Wylis to guard against the undead on the city wall naturally discovered the sudden appearance of the army the moment the king's army launched the charge. However, most of the city defense equipment had been sent to the south of the city, and the defenders were unable to do so. Stop the advance of the king's army.

But they didn't think that these troops with only a few hundred people could make waves in Leiden City.

Wyleth's soldiers looked relaxed, for they were vastly outnumbered.

In order to prevent the undead from sneak attacks on the east and west walls, Wylis deployed 1000 people on the east and west walls.

We have twice the number of people on the opposite side. Do these stupid old men really dare to charge like this?

When the king's army got closer, the commander in charge of the exit from the city wall gave the order.

"Fire arrows!"

The arrows stored in Leiden City were depleted very quickly in the past few days, and Wylis' own troops did not bring many spares, so the commander chose to shoot closer, so that more accurate shooting could reduce the number of arrows. consumption.

The three homeless knights rushed to the front of the team without hesitation. The storm aroused and the arrows were blown away. They are the most reliable guards of the team.

Only then did the commander of the Western Wall feel that something was wrong. He carefully identified the homeless knights who rushed closer. The silvery armor on their bodies made the commander's face change. He recognized that they were the holy knights of France. The Empire's much-hyped Knight in Shining Armor

For these knights who can burst out strong storms at any time and blow away arrows, the commander of the Western Wall carefully identified that there was no mage formation among the soldiers charging towards him, and immediately shouted: "Mage, come forward! Focus on the three men under the wall. Knight in Shining Armor!”

The mages showed cruel smiles and came to the city wall, waving their staffs or trying to tear apart the spell scrolls.

Among their people, there is no hostile mage to intercept their own spells. It is a very scary thing for the mages to be able to output as much as they want. Even the legendary strong ones have to avoid the power of the collective bombing of the mages.

I don't believe you soldiers can all be legendary level warriors?Western Wall Commander thought.

It is true that the Grek soldiers do not have legendary level strength, but each of them is a sharpshooter.

In the game, as long as the player does not dodge within the shooting range of these Grek soldiers, the arrows they shoot will definitely hit the player's body.

This means that their hit rate is as high as a terrifying 100%, which is no longer an accuracy that can be described as superb skills.In reality, this means that those Grek soldiers armed with crossbows are very good at shooting!

So the Grik soldiers holding crossbows killed those mages who dared to poke their heads out one by one. The crossbows accurately hit their foreheads. Many mages fell down before they could react. The expressions on their faces were even Laughing at the overestimation of this group of royal troops.

"Take cover, take cover!" The commander of the Western Wall quickly reacted and ordered the soldiers to hide behind the battlements. He glanced at the mage who had been shot, and was horrified to find that none of the mage who was hit by the arrow screamed. Just dead silence.

The commander of the Western Wall quickly realized that all these mages were killed with one arrow, so he did not make any sound.

These enemies cannot be resisted by 1000 people.He realized this and immediately grabbed the warning flare he was carrying and was about to fire it.

However, a blue sword pierced his chest and arm, and Roger's calm figure appeared in front of the commander of the Western Wall.

This elegant magic swordsman had just taken advantage of the storm generated by the lost knight, and jumped onto the city wall lightly. There were floating blue swords around his shoulders, and the swords quickly crashed into the bodies of the surrounding soldiers like swifts.

Roger beheaded the commander of the western wall, leaving the defenders here with a brief command vacuum.

The king's army took advantage of this brief opportunity to launch a sudden attack on the city wall.

The city wall of Leiden City had long been damaged due to the undead natural disaster, so the king's army did not need to break the city gate at all.

Homeless Knight White and Fazhuang took a deep breath, and their eyes transformed into golden flying dragon vertical pupils again, and the two huge flying dragon claws worked together to slam hard on the wall of Leiden City.

Amidst the loud noise like earth-shattering, the dust dispersed, and a small section of the city wall of Leiden City was shattered by the dragon's claws. The king's army swarmed up from the collapsed city wall with excited shouts.

Wylis's shield soldiers were a little confused without the commander's instructions. Most of the shield soldiers held their shields and ran into the incoming king's army.

However, what they heard was the rapid sound of horse hooves, which was the charge of the cavalry composed of 168 Knight Commanders of Grek.The shield soldiers who rushed to form a defensive line were scattered like sand sculptures on the seashore scattered by the waves.

The knight captains continued their momentum and rode their horses up the city walls from the stairs inside the city, rushing towards the defenders who had no time to react.

Grek's soldiers also rushed in. While they were responsible for killing the enemy lying on the ground, they followed the knight captains to climb the city wall.

"This is too exaggerated." Roland was still shocked by the powerful fighting power of the King's Army. From the beginning of the battle to now, they have completed the breakthrough to the west city wall without losing even one person.

Seeing his colleagues fighting so bravely, Ikosela said proudly while riding his horse up the city wall: "Because we are an army serving demigods. If we are not strong enough, how can we dare to fight against gods who are also demigods?" .”

However, before Roland could remember his happiness, he heard strange roars gradually coming from the battlefield filled with shouts of killing.

He quickly raised his eyes and saw that there were many undead wandering here in Leiden City who were disturbed by the loud noise of the city wall collapsing.

They are pouring out from various buildings in the west of Leiden City. They are hungry and sweeping towards this direction desperately, eager to devour this batch of fresh flesh and blood.

"Melina!" Roland thought of Melina immediately and called the girl's name.

Melina's figure immediately appeared next to Roland. She looked at Roland with firm eyes and said, "Follow your orders, Roland."

Roland nodded and spoke quickly: "Okay, Melina, try your best to cover the Greg soldiers with golden prayers."

"I understand." Melina immediately closed her beautiful eyes and put her hands on her chest as if praying.

"Everyone climbed onto the city wall, and the knight captains holding shields formed a shield wall, leaving 50 Grek soldiers to help form a front! D, you lead these people to resist these undead. Arthur, you stay to help. Others continue to move towards the south of the city March in the direction!" Roland immediately issued the next order.

At this time, Melina completed her prayer, and the majestic golden tree energy was used from her body to cover every soldier belonging to the Golden Dynasty on the battlefield, making their bodies vibrate with golden light.

D nodded after hearing the order, holding the twin swords in his hands on his shoulders. Together with Arthur, the homeless knight who stayed behind, he led the royal army who stayed behind with shields and obeyed the order to form a new defensive position on the city wall.

32 Gorek knights holding golden shields aligned their shields in a row on the city wall, and 50 Gorek soldiers holding royal swords, war picks and two-handed swords resisted those who also wanted to climb the city wall. Li Si soldiers,

The soldiers of Wylis were really in bad luck.

Because the city wall was captured by Roland's royal army, they retreated tactically and gathered their forces to retake the city wall in one fell swoop, so they were now in a very awkward position.

Moving forward, there is an iron wall formed by Roland's royal army.From now on, there will be an army of undead that cannot communicate rationally at all.

Stuck in the middle belongs to yes.

The temporary commander had no choice but to order to find the housing area to defend in the south direction of the city, and to fight and retreat. It was impossible for them to be the first line of defense for the Golden Dynasty against the undead disaster.

But after the battle just now, there were only about 400 soldiers left on the western wall.Therefore, the temporary commander knew very well that this number of people was simply not enough for them to safely evacuate to the south of the city.

The fierce fighting in the south of the city was so fierce that throwing a few hundred of his own people into it wouldn't make any waves at all.

Soon, a sea of ​​low-level undead composed of ghouls and living corpses rushed over. Judging from their clothes, they were originally residents and guards of Leiden City.

Chapter 12: The Fall of Leiden City Safe Zone

A large number of low-level undead quickly arrived at the place where the Royal Army and the Leiden City defenders were fighting.

When the irrational ghoul saw the corpse of the Leiden City defender who had just died on the ground, saliva flowed from the craggy mouth and teeth.They swooped over and started feasting, tearing apart the corpses of the soldiers.

As a result, several ghouls fought over each other, slapping their ferocious claws on each other, leaving wounds that would be fatal to humans.

This was just a small episode in the army of the undead. More low-level undead rushed toward the royal army and the remaining soldiers on the western wall of Leiden City with wide, bloody pupils.

In an emergency, the Leiden City defenders also imitated the King's Army and had shield soldiers in heavy armor standing in the front row to form a defense line. Behind the shield soldiers were more elite magic soldiers with better armor, and pike soldiers followed closely behind them. Finally, the priests who were still alive in the rear looked nervous. They held their breaths to build the Holy Light Array.

They relied on the ruins of buildings as defensive positions, and the debris that could delay the footsteps of the undead were moved to the streets and piled up by the defenders of Leiden City.

The shield soldiers in the first row passed through the gaps in the piles and were about to collide with the ghouls and living zombies. Their breathing became quickened subconsciously.The elite magic soldiers patted their comrades' shoulders with heavy hands to provide spiritual support and comfort.

The temporary commander loudly urged the priests, and then ordered the few remaining mages in the team to release spells to reduce the number of enemies in the first wave.

The mages wore well-fitting blue robes and wielded staffs inlaid with magic crystals.

Flame streams, thunder and lightning, water columns, rock outcrops, and magic with various attributes were thrown out by the mages in a very short period of time.

The first wave of low-level undead were almost wiped out by the mages, but soon the second wave of undead filled the vacancies caused by the spell while devouring the corpses of their companions.

There were even some Wylis soldiers who had just died in battle, with their crooked and broken limbs joining the ocean current of the undead army.

The shield soldiers held their breath, and the undead, carrying the stench and plague on their bodies, collided with the hastily piled bunkers. The undead behind stepped on the bodies of their companions in front and crossed the bunkers. They roared with excitement when they saw the fresh humans in front of them.

Then it was pierced by an arrow through the head, tilted back, and was grabbed by its impatient companions, torn into pieces and devoured.

The other undead also crossed the bunker, and arrows continued to rain down on them. However, the archer's arm was so sore that he could no longer draw the bow string to full capacity.The undead finally rushed in front of the shield soldiers in the front row, and chaos broke out for a moment.

From time to time, shield soldiers were grabbed by the ankles by some undead due to lack of physical strength, and they screamed and were dragged into the sea of ​​undead.These poor people were eaten without even a chance to become undead. The magic soldiers raised their swords and with the help of their armors, they killed the undead that wanted to devour them in droves, helping the shield soldiers reduce the pressure. .

The pikemen also continued to send guns into the tattered and decaying bodies of the undead through the gaps in the front guard shield soldiers.

At this time, the second wave of chanting by the mages was completed, and a series of spells once again killed the undead in front of them.

However, this was only a drop in the bucket, and the endless use of the undead behind made these soldiers gradually despair, and the formation began to gradually collapse.

"The merciful and compassionate God of Holy Light, shine your light on your devout believers." The priests have already constructed the magic circle and are praying to the gods they believe in like chanting hymns.

A white wall burning with holy flames appeared out of thin air, blocking the undead from the outside.

The leading cleric wiped his cold sweat. At the critical moment, he finally deployed the holy light barrier and saved himself and the lives of these soldiers.

The tireless undead are still attacking the holy light barrier, and the white holy flames turn their sinful bodies into ashes.

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and began to seize precious time to rest and eat under the orders of the temporary commander.

Some soldiers looked curiously at the king's army on the other side of the city wall who were also attacked by the undead. They even gloated about whether the king's army without the mages and priests accompanying them had all been swallowed up by the sea of ​​undead.

Of course, the King's Army will not be swallowed up by the sea of ​​undead as they thought.

Arthur, the homeless knight who followed Roland's order and stayed to help defend, used Dragon Feast Prayer twice on the steps of the city wall where the undead were gradually coming up. The scorching dragon flames turned the lower part into a sea of ​​​​fire, and the undead were crossing this sea of ​​fire. suffered great losses.
