Polis bit his lips tightly, and blood oozed from them.
It's really a bit scary down there. Even though the city wall is high, the vast expanse of white below is even more exaggerated. Damn it, when did a bunch of skeletons move around so neatly?
Not long after, these skeletons stood still a few hundred meters away from Anfa City, showing no signs of attacking.
Polis yelled, "Cheer up, everyone! Let the archers and crossbowmen come up to the city wall quickly!"
It's not a good thing to have these skeletons parked not far away. If they attack Anfa City regardless, Polis might not be so nervous, but these skeletons didn't attack immediately, which made him realize that he was in trouble. , and more skeletons appeared from the forest.
However, these skeletons did not take a step forward, nor did they appear more crowded, because they were moving to both sides, gradually surrounding the other three city walls. Polis was sweating in shock. These skeletons actually had brains. , you also know that being surrounded is like seeing a ghost, uh, no, they should be ghosts!
Looking at the skeletons with empty brains, Polis's face darkened, and what happened next made him even darker.
Because the drum-backed skeleton accompanying the ordinary skeletons was beating the big drum on its back with a certain rhythm. It was obvious that it was conducting a command. And soon, a special skeleton walked out of the forest. Look. Polis's scalp felt numb.
The sound of horse hooves resounded in the forest behind the skeleton army, even covering up the uniform sound of the skeleton army's kaka.
I saw a man wearing blood-red armor covered with spikes, with a sharp skull exposed, riding a skeletal horse with eyes glowing green, slowly walking out. The skeletons around him came out before the knight approached. They all moved away automatically, making way for a wide road, and knelt on one knee, as if welcoming a monarch.
This skeleton knight holds the reins in his left hand and holds his ferocious helmet in his right hand. Although only the skeleton is left, one can feel that he has a serious expression. He stares at the people on the wall of Anfa City. The white bone horse sitting down is also the same. Wearing red armor, covering all parts of the body, even though it was just bones, there was still a breathing-like sound coming out, and two streaks of white gas came out from under the armor on the head.
Polis's heart was trembling right now. The sight of endless skeletons was enough, but this thing actually appeared. What is this, a Skeleton Knight!
What is a Skeleton Knight? It is a high-level undead creature. In life, it is usually a general-type figure. Because the strong obsession cannot be dissipated, it becomes a Skeleton Knight after death.
Moreover, the formation of the Skeleton Knight must have killed a large number of creatures as burials during his lifetime. Under the influence of the power of death, the terrifying existence will only appear after a long period of time.
In the history of the Kingdom of Els, it has been attacked by undead creatures, and it was the Skeleton Knight.
About four hundred years ago, in the southern region of the Kingdom of Els, a town suddenly collapsed overnight. The King of Els at that time immediately ordered the border to be sealed and a thorough investigation was carried out, and the army was already mobilizing, because it was generally believed that it was very dangerous. It may be a cross-border invasion by a hostile country in the south.
The worst thing about Ke 4 was that the city massacre happened again on the second night. This time it was far away from the destroyed city and closer to the royal capital of Els, but because of the distance, it was not too obvious.
However, in the next few days, there were massacres of the city one after another, and the route was straight, directly close to the capital of Els, which immediately aroused the alarm of the royal family, and the news had spread, and it could no longer be concealed. The entire kingdom People were panicked, and even large-scale exodus occurred, especially in the towns on the route to the royal capital, where large areas of residents fled.
At that time, King Els did not understand what was going on, but this did not prevent him from bursting out in anger. He immediately summoned the country's elite army, a total of 300,000 people, and lined up densely outside the royal capital. The king personally led the army and marched outwards. Unexpectedly, one night seven days later, in the Nahan Plain of the Kingdom of Els, he encountered the being who had caused a large number of massacres.
The reason why we can encounter it is because there is a very large city on the edge of the Nahan Plain, second only to the city of Els Royal Capital. But the scary thing is that the whole city seems to be burning, with cries and tragic sounds. The screams and desperate cries frightened all the approaching Kingdom troops.
Before the king could give the order for further reaction, a figure jumped down from the city wall and landed directly in front of the entire army.
The king was in the front army and had clearly seen the figure, a skeletal knight wearing black armor and covered in blood. Light green flames were burning in the cold eyes, but there was no warmth at all. He could only It makes people feel endless fear.
The black-armored skeleton knight looked at the 300,000-strong royal army. His unruly laughter came from the cold armor, and he waved the long black sword in his hand, pointing directly at the king.
The king of Els felt instantly greatly insulted. Not only did this bastard slaughter his own city in front of him, he actually dared to point his sword at him like this. He immediately waved his hand and ordered the entire army to attack.
But before the 300,000 royal troops could get into position, the skeleton knight had already rushed over, and with a terrifying crash, the two sides began to fight.
To this day, four hundred years later, what happened that night has still not been made public. All we know is that the king lost an arm and became blind in his right eye. He returned to the capital with the remaining 40,000 royal troops. He was young and in his early forties. The king passed the throne to his son, and then led 7,000 of the remaining 40,000 royal troops to the northernmost northern fortress of Els. He never set foot there again until his death.
The rest of the royal army who did not follow the king to the northern fortress were dismissed when the king left and returned to their respective hometowns. Likewise, they never left their hometowns again.
However, when someone asked the returning Royal Army veterans about their experiences that night, the panic and fear in their eyes made everyone feel helpless, but none of these veterans spoke until they He takes the experience of that night with him to his grave.
After that night, the skeleton knight never appeared again. Only a huge pit appeared on the Nahan Plain, burning with green flames. There were still some flames like footprints nearby, far away. Go away and disappear at the end of the horizon.
The flames in the deep pit have been burning to this day without any sign of extinguishing. The originally fertile plain has become barren, like a desert, with no life left.
…
Polis looked at the red-armored Skeleton Knight who was gradually walking to the front of the skeleton army, and his heart almost stopped, because the terrifying legend of the black-armored Skeleton Knight has been circulating in the Kingdom of Els. He has been listening to the terrifying legend of the Skeleton Knight since he was a child. When I grew up, although it was only regarded as a horror legend because of the long history, even this horror legend could not withstand the erosion of time. It was even considered by some people in the Kingdom of Els to be just some folklore.
But these people seemed to have forgotten that the deep pit burning with green flames in the Nahan Plain was still burning non-stop as evidence.
The Skeleton Knight that appeared at this moment not only awakened the memory of Polis, but also reminded all the city guards who looked at it of the horrific legends that had existed since childhood. Just when everyone was immersed in panic, at the drop of a needle, On the city wall, I heard the sound of steel boots stepping on the ground, gradually approaching.
"Warriors, pick up your weapons and prepare to fight!" An unusually firm and magnetic voice sounded, loud and clear, so that everyone on the city wall could hear it. Even the swaying hearts seemed to be somewhat calm, but not Just like before, he was in a state of confusion.
Polis turned around and saw the City Lord's addition. He was overjoyed and said, "Mr. City Lord!" It must be said that Polis always trusted the City Lord and believed in the City Lord's judgment at all times. This has been their experience for many years. Accumulated trust.
Jaffa nodded, smiled and said, "Boris! You did a great job!"
Polis said, "Lord City Lord, you see, although we have not been attacked yet, the undead creatures are just surrounding us. They are under command, and they are skeleton knights!"
Jiafa held his hand on the wall stack and looked at the situation under the city wall. The skeleton knight wearing red ferocious armor also raised his head with only bones and looked at the city wall, seeming to be looking at Jiafa.
After a long time, both sides looked away. Of course, it was not that either side was afraid, but that their respective arrangements seemed to have been completed.
At this time, Jiafa had received news that a large number of skeletons appeared in front of the four walls of Anfa City, densely packed and completely surrounding Anfa City.
However, Jiafa didn't panic much, because the arrangements he made had been completed. At this time, every city guard on the city wall was holding a brown bottle, which was exactly what Reeves had sent before. The things that were delivered were sent out to distribute them as soon as Jiafa arrived at the city wall.
Jaffa personally handed Polis a bottle and told him with a smile, "This is the key to our victory!"
Polis looked at the bottle in his hand and shook it. He couldn't understand the use of such a thing, but the sound of water in the bottle made him seem to understand something. Looking at Jiafa, he said with a little excitement, "Mr. City Lord, could it be that this is……"
Although Polis didn't say it, Jiafa knew what he was talking about and nodded seriously. Then he looked at the skeleton army outside the city, but the vast skeletons couldn't really attract his attention. After scanning around, , what he saw was still the skeleton knight wearing red armor.
