"Undead! So many undead!"
"Lord Earl, be careful!"
The extraordinary knights exclaimed and immediately raised their swords and steel shields to protect Charlotte.
"Roar--!"
Hearing the voices of the knights, the undead in the dense forest roared and rushed toward everyone like a wave of zombies in the movie.
The battle broke out instantly.
The extraordinary knights waved their swords and chopped down the charging zombies to the ground.
However, the next moment, the living corpses that had been chopped down by the knights stood up staggeringly and continued to rush towards the knights.
"Cut off their heads! Extinguish the fire of their souls!"
The experienced leading knight shouted loudly.
The remaining extraordinary knights immediately changed the direction of attack and greeted the head of the living corpse.
One after another, they chopped off the rotting heads, and the stinky black blood spurted out. The living corpse that had lost its head swayed slightly, fell to the ground and turned into an ordinary corpse again.
These living corpses are not very strong.
Although their strength is much higher than that of ordinary people and they don't know pain, there are almost no people who have entered the level.
As long as they are not attacked by surprise, they are no match for the extraordinary.
However, the number of living corpses was too much.
The dense fire of dead souls lit up in the dense forest, and more and more living corpses rushed out, which the extraordinary knights could not kill at all.
Almost instantly, Charlotte and others were surrounded.
"Protect the Earl! Breakout!"
The extraordinary knight leading the team once again chopped a living corpse to the ground and shouted an order.
As the only Starry Knight who followed the Earl to investigate, he rushed to the front and had already vaguely opened a path back to the camp.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a gust of evil wind beside him, and a living corpse that was far faster than other undead rushed towards him.
This advanced zombie is obviously more intelligent than other zombies.
It held the rusty steel sword high, jumped up, and actually used its sword skills to chop off the knight captain's head.
"It's an initiate! Captain, be careful!"
The extraordinary knights said in shock.
The knight captain was shocked and quickly turned back to defend.
However, he had just released his strength and did not have enough time to regroup for defense, let alone face the surprise attack of a zombie that had already advanced to the next level.
Reluctantly making a defensive posture, the attack of the living zombies has already fallen.
The knight captain felt a huge force coming from the tiger's mouth, making his hands numb, and the long sword in his hand was actually hit to the ground by a living corpse.
But the attack of the living corpses was not over.
It twisted its body back at a weird angle that a normal person could never do, raised the rusty sword again, and slashed at the knight captain.
"team leader!"
The extraordinary knights exclaimed.
Looking at the rusty sword that was slashed towards him, the knight captain's face turned pale.
He knew he couldn't block this blow!
However, just when he thought he was about to die, a harsh sound broke through the air from behind.
A crossbow arrow directly penetrated the head of the advanced living corpse, flying the rotting head directly, and nailed it to a tree trunk not far away.
The headless living corpse shook a few times and slowly fell limp.
The anxious extraordinary knights were slightly startled, and the cavalry captain was also slightly startled.
He subconsciously turned around and saw his beautiful and lovely Lord Count standing not far away. He unhurriedly put away the hand crossbow he took out from nowhere, and skillfully reloaded the crossbow.
It is different from the elegant, generous and pitiful person at the banquet, and it is also different from the innocent, cute and innocent person in daily life...
At this moment, Charlotte looked calm, showing no fear of the terrifying living corpse. She did not look like a fifteen or sixteen year old girl at all.
She was seen carrying a crossbow, crossing the corpses on the ground, coming to the side of the knight captain, and smoothly picked up the rusty sword used by the living corpse who had just entered the rank, and weighed it in her hand.
However, after pulling out the rusty sword, the girl seemed to have discovered something. She frowned slightly and raised the sword to sniff.
Then, she raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Earl...my lord?"
Noticing the girl's thoughtful gaze, the knight captain couldn't help but call out.
Charlotte came back to her senses when she heard the knight's voice.
She waved the rusty sword, looked at the tide of living corpses not far away, took a breath, and said calmly:
"Break out with me."
After saying that, she passed the knight captain and took the lead in walking towards the camp.
Seemingly attracted by the girl's vigorous vitality, the living corpses roared and rushed towards her.
"My Lord Count!"
The knight captain's expression changed slightly.
He quickly picked up the sword again and prepared to step forward to support.
However, before he could rush forward, he saw his Earl taking the lead in attacking.
Under the clear moonlight, the girl's blond hair moved with the wind, shimmering with a little silver light.
She swung her rusty sword and struck it at the living corpse that rushed over.
The girl's movements don't have any complicated skills, they are just the simplest and most basic swordsmanship.
However, the knight captain was shocked to find that his eyesight could not follow the movements of his count.
Fast...very fast!
Charlotte dodged, and the silver sword light reflected by the moonlight flickered around her.
The sharp sword light flashed, and he ran a few steps towards the living corpse that rushed towards her. In an instant, his head was missing and he fell to the ground.
The living corpse rushing at the front was directly cut off by the sword light, and even the tattered armor on its body was cut into two halves.
But the girl who made all these attacks did so with ease.
She flicked the rusty sword casually, and the black blood left on it was thrown to the ground. Crimson light flickered faintly in her blue eyes.
The extraordinary aura spread from Charlotte's body for the first time, with profound magic fluctuations...
That powerful aura made the knight captain, who was also a star, feel a slight tingling on his skin.
That is an instinct transmitted from the body of a transcendent when encountering a more powerful transcendent.
Beginner!
The earl is actually an initiate!
The knight captain's eyes widened.
However, at this moment, another swift figure rushed out from the tide of living corpses.
That turned out to be another advanced living corpse!
Like the first living corpse, this living corpse is extremely cunning.
It chose the timing and position so cleverly that it rushed over just as the girl finished her round of attacks, and launched a sneak attack directly from behind the girl!
The knight captain's expression changed dramatically, and he was about to issue a warning when he saw his count looking like he had eyes behind him. He raised his crossbow and shot an arrow behind him with one hand.
The sharp crossbow flew out, as if the angle had been calculated long ago, and it penetrated the head of the jumping zombie directly, taking it flying out and nailing it directly to the big tree.
The advanced living corpse twitched twice, and the green flames in its eye sockets slowly extinguished.
Quiet.
All was quiet.
It was clear that the living corpses were still roaring and roaring, but at this moment, the extraordinary knights fell into a strange silence.
They all looked at the girl walking in the front with incredible eyes, as if they were meeting their newly succeeded countess for the first time.
Regarding Charlotte's strength, the extraordinary knights from the Castel territory do not know much about it.
They only knew from the mouths of the quasi-guard knights who were loyal to the girl in Castel Manor that she was also a transcendent person.
But those stingy guys didn't reveal the specific strength to them.
After setting off, the powerful Castel team has not been attacked so far, so no one knows Charlotte's strength.
The knights just relied on their first impression, thinking that the young Earl might have just awakened the power of his blood.
It is difficult for them to connect the beautiful, lovely, innocent, and protective Earl with a powerful extraordinary person.
However, at this moment, the girl's fighting power exceeded their expectations.
My God, Lord Earl is actually an initiate!
Moreover... he is still a very powerful initiate!
Stars? Or is it Silver Moon?
With such a powerful force at such a young age, is it possible that another blazing sun will appear in Castel in the future?
As if feeling the gazes of the knights, the girl turned slightly and looked back.
Seeing everyone's eyes focused on her, she smiled and said:
"What are you doing standing still? Break out of the encirclement with me."
As she spoke, she put away the hand crossbow that had no more missing crossbows. At the same time, she threw the rusty sword behind her and pinned another living corpse that was trying to sneak attack to the tree.
The silver moonlight shone on the girl's body, giving her a mysterious glow.
The girl casually pulled out the rusty sword nailed to the corpse and shook off the blood on it again.
"Oh, right."
As if she remembered something, she put her left index finger to her lips and smiled at the knight behind her. The corners of her mouth raised a beautiful arc, and blood flashed faintly in her eyes:
"My strength must be kept secret."
After saying that, she chuckled, turned around and continued to attack in the direction of the camp.
The extraordinary knights stared blankly at the girl's petite figure, with a trace of crimson flashing in their eyes, and they all showed confusion and obsession.
It took a while for them to react, and they quickly followed and rushed forward as well.
Looking at the figure that looked delicate but was walking comfortably among the living corpses like a Valkyrie, the knight captain couldn't help but murmured:
"Your Majesty the Earl... you are so powerful!"
…
Night is the home of the vampires.
Charlotte, who had been training in Boulder for more than half a year, was no longer as strong as before, and these undead besieging her were no match for her.
Compared with cleaning up these living corpses, it may be more difficult to bring the extraordinary knights behind them who have not yet reached the advanced level of strength back to the camp intact.
Of course, the group of people didn't leave the camp too far. With Charlotte's guidance, it didn't take them long to return to the camp.
But the camp was also in chaos.
As soon as Charlotte walked out of the dense forest, she saw a holy light shrouding the camp. It was Lottie and several trainee priests who accompanied her who were performing magical purification and blessing spells.
Not only that, but a silver light rose into the sky and turned into a translucent cover, sheltering everyone inside.
Charlotte recognized it, it was Nice's contract magic.
Around the camp, countless living corpses are attacking the temporary defenses created by the accompanying mage with earth element magic.
Charlotte looked towards both ends of the road and could only see dense green soul fire.
This is no ordinary undead.
This is obviously an undead army controlled by someone behind the scenes!
"My Lord Count!"
Seeing Charlotte returning safely surrounded by extraordinary knights, Baron Sharon, who led the team, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called on the knights to clear a path for everyone.
Charlotte returned to the camp and dropped the rusty sword that was stained with blood. The black cat Ness quickly pounced on her:
"Meow! Miss Charlotte, you are finally back! If you don't come back, we will be ready to go out for rescue!"
Charlotte picked up its tail in disgust, stopped it from flying, and then asked:
"How is the situation at the camp?"
Nice Cat's face was solemn:
"Not good! There are too many undead that are besieging you! And many of them are initiates!"
"Although they can't attack the camp now, everyone will always get tired... Unless there is God's care, otherwise, if the stalemate continues, it will only become more and more dangerous."
When it comes to "gods", it deliberately emphasizes the tone and clearly means something.
Charlotte glanced at it with a half-smile, while Nice coughed slightly and said:
"Miss Charlotte, I'm afraid we have encountered an ambush. So many undead are definitely controlled by others, and...if we are not fully prepared, we will definitely not ambush so many undead!"
Charlotte was noncommittal.
She nodded slightly and looked around, looking for another figure:
"Where's Sebas?"
"Meow! I don't know! That guy disappeared as soon as the battle started!"
Ness, the black cat, was filled with indignation.
Charlotte gave it another dull look.
Being stared at by the girl's deep gaze, Nice shrank his tail slightly, and then said honestly:
"Meow...probably...probably looking for the necromancer behind him, right?"
Charlotte then put it down.
She was wondering whether to call Sebas back through the mysterious connection first, but suddenly her heart moved slightly and she looked into the air.
The agile Sebastian jumped down from the towering trees on both sides of the road and jumped directly in front of him.
"You're back? How's it going?"
Charlotte asked.
Sebastian's eyes paused on the other knights and said seriously:
"Owner……"
Noticing his gaze, Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she ordered the other extraordinary knights to continue to assist in the battle, leaving only Sebas, herself and Nice.
"Tell me, how many are the undead and how strong are they?"
"A lot! A lot! I'm afraid the number exceeds five thousand! There may be more! Not only that... there are also some necromancers on the periphery!"
Sebastian said solemnly.
Charlotte raised her eyebrows.
The servant of the dead has the strength of Silver Moon Level 2.
However, in such a large-scale undead tide, there was no Dark Knight of the third level of the Blazing Sun, indicating that the manipulator behind the scenes should be only a Silver Moon level necromancer, but it is likely that there is more than one person.
"Have you found the location of the mage behind the scenes?"
Charlotte asked.
Sebastian's face looked a little ugly:
"No, the other party...seems to be very good at hiding his aura."
Charlotte nodded clearly, as if she had expected it:
"It's normal. After all... night is the home court of the Vampire Clan."
"Bloodlines?"
Sebastian's eyelids twitched, and his face suddenly looked strange.
"Yes, vampire."
"From the dirty blood of those living corpses, I smelled some of the same origin..."
Charlotte said with narrowed eyes.
