Griffith unfolded the streamer shield, drew his sword, and drove the carriage towards the living corpse and rushed past.
In a burst of crackling and crushing sounds, the carriage smashed through the living corpses and rushed to the gate of the port area.
"Get out of the car!" Griffith observed the terrain here. Ravenport is one of the customs offices of the Eastern Province. There are only a few channels for incoming people and goods to leave the port. A tall wall surrounds the entire port in a ring shape. As long as the few entrances and exits are blocked, the tide of infection can be controlled.
Soldiers stationed in the port area and fleeing travelers are fleeing here in a steady stream.
"Captain and the others are on their way, it will take at least a quarter of an hour!" Amber shook the echo crystal in her hand. "She ordered the local garrison to block the other exits. It's relatively remote, so it shouldn't be difficult."
Port Raven is surrounded by hills, so the only road leading to the city is the one in front of Griffith. As long as we control the situation here, we can stabilize the situation.
"Amber, you lead everyone to build barricades and use furniture from nearby buildings to build barricades. The higher the better. Those who want to run must also stay here to test the infection level and isolate." Griffith took off his shield, " I'll stop the living corpses."
Amber looked at the sharp-clad quasi-knights, nodded, turned around, stopped the frightened port guards, and drove them to raise their defense line.
There are still thousands of passengers and staff in the port area who are resisting and escaping. Behind them, the living corpses were flying towards them like a gray-black wave, sucking in all the poor people who were a step too slow.
Some of the living corpses that were continuously produced seemed to have received some kind of instructions. Instead of biting and chasing survivors, they gathered together and prepared to attack the exit of the passage here.
This was an organized attack... Griffith immediately understood the situation and moved backwards towards the corpse tide.
Although there are many of these monsters, they are transformed from humans after all and are unarmed. Although their claws and fangs are as sharp as swords, it is not easy to break through armor. Living corpses are very threatening when facing similarly unarmed civilians, but not so when facing regular troops.
Thinking of this, Griffith believed that his actions were not wrong. He could and should stop these monsters in the port to buy everyone time.
He held a strong vanguard shield in his left hand, drew his sword in his right hand, and rushed towards the oncoming living corpse. Many passengers who passed by him may have been infected, but there was no time to screen them now, Amber would control them.
He cut off the neck of a living corpse with one sword, and then smashed the head of another with his shield.
Followed closely were a dozen living corpses, still stained with wet blood on their bodies, staring at deathly gray eyes, swarming towards Griffith.
"Come on, let me show you the power of the streamer shield!"
Griffith swung his sword to kill, barely looking at the living corpse that attacked him. These crazy monsters scratched with their claws and bit with their teeth, desperately trying to tear open the icy shield.
The gray corpse tide rolled over, rising into blood-colored foam. It splashed with splashes of water first, and then smashed down on Griffith's head and face.
A large group of living corpses were piled on top of each other, rolling and burying Griffith, making rustling and biting sounds like a colony of ants swooping on caterpillars.
The air was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly there was a loud sound of ice cracking.
"Bang!"
The dense ice fragments exploded, knocking down the densely packed living corpses in a radial pattern. Griffith's side was empty.
The sharp and sharp fragments shattered the heads of some of the living corpses, killing them. Other living corpses were also injured and fell to the ground.
Useful, this shield is very effective against living zombies!
Griffith fought while moving, and the living corpses surrounding him chased and bit him like mad dogs.
A group of zombies had just been killed when four more distinctive zombies pounced on them from everywhere. Their overdeveloped bodies are ferocious and twisted, and their swollen brains squeeze out of their skulls, but their bodies are like cheetahs, walking on all fours through walls and roofs, appearing and disappearing like ghosts.
Ghoul!
Their sharp claws flashed with green light, showing a special effect similar to enchanted weapons. They were mutated compared to the same kind that appeared on Neopolis Island before, and were obviously more dangerous.
It is very dangerous to deal with agile mutated creatures like four ghouls at the same time in the open ground, not to mention the living corpses that appear from time to time nearby. Griffith protected himself with his shield and hurriedly retreated towards a solid wall.
The four ghouls were very fast, two of them rushed towards him, but the other two passed him in an instant and rushed back.
"Amber! Two ghouls are coming to you!" Griffith subconsciously reminded loudly through the echo crystal. But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the passing ghoul stop and turn around, blocking his retreat towards the wall.
Are they outflanking me? !
Griffith was taken aback and fell into the siege of four ghouls in an instant. The flickering claws tore at his breastplate, flashes of fire flashed out, and the sound of broken metal could even be heard from the chainmail on his legs.
Can their attacks break armor?
Griffith's ice shield deployed as soon as it finished cooling down. The medal's shield was reserved as a key back-up and had not yet been activated. He thought he could withstand it. While defending, he swung his sword towards a ghoul.
The sword's edge split open the mutant creature's exposed brain in one stroke, and half of its twisted face flew away. The severely wounded ghoul was chopped down on the spot and twitched.
At this moment, Griffith suddenly heard a crackling sound, and the ice shield that had just been deployed shattered. The broken ice pierced the body of the ghoul, knocking both ends back, but the other end just shook.
Such a powerful attack? Griffith was shocked. Before he could activate the medal's shield, he felt a sharp pain in his thigh. In the area where the armor had insufficient defense, a ghoul had bitten through the mail, its claws digging deeply into his flesh.
Damn it! He immediately thought about whether he might be infected, and immediately activated the shield of the medal, and then stabbed the ghoul's skull with his backhand sword, nailing it to the ground.
Severe pain and numbness rushed into his brain one after another, and Griffith immediately fell to his knees unable to hold on. His injured right leg quickly lost control as if it had been pierced by a spear. Then his right hand began to lose control of the sword, and he could only use his shield to resist the sharp bites of the remaining two ghouls.
"Amber, support me!" Griffiths, who couldn't hold on anymore as the feeling of paralysis became more and more intense, hurriedly called for help.
Golden light appeared behind him. Amber, wrapped in golden light, was like a thunderbolt. She slashed through the zombie wave, and the ferocious shock wave knocked Griffith and the ghoul to the ground.
Before Griffith could get up, Amber crushed one ghoul's head with her foot and punched the other one in the jaw. The hit ghoul was like being hit head-on by a siege battering ram, and its head exploded with a snap.
The ghoul had just been knocked down when a dozen passengers who had been transformed into living corpses roared and rushed forward. Amber glanced at the pale Griffith, said nothing, and punched the ground with his fist.
"Boom!" Golden light poured into the ground like air waves, tearing open a fan-shaped crack. The living corpses within this range flew out together with the broken ground, and when they hit the living corpses behind them, they turned into a rain of blood.
Amber's attack is amazing! Griffith used all his strength to support himself, who had just recovered a little, to stand up. Amber grabbed his arm and rushed back to the port exit like a whirlwind.
"Hold on, I'll give you some inhibitor!" Amber took out a bottle of light blue potion, opened the trainee knight's mouth and poured it in without any explanation.
Half of Griffith's body was still paralyzed, and he was half-kneeling on the ground, with a hard medicine bottle stuck in his mouth, and the unknown liquid was poured into his mouth.
"Okay, extraordinary people are very resistant to this kind of pollution." Amber patted the trainee knight's face with an expression like "you don't need to thank me", turned around and said to a group of people armed with various weapons, "Close the door at the back. , Seal the exit! No one is allowed to leave, gather all the carriages and block them as obstacles!"
A middle-aged man dressed as a civilian ran over, followed by a small group of armed port garrison guards. He looked at the two Extraordinaries, moved his eyes from Amber to Griffith, and said hurriedly: "I am the Port Director of Raven Port, are you Extraordinaries? Ah, Your Excellency the Quasi-Knight! When will we Can we get support from the stationed mage?”
"In less than ten minutes, a team of witchers will arrive. Before that, we need to establish a blockade," Amber replied quickly. Her blue eyes did not look at the commander but swept around the panicked people nearby. The crowd screamed, "According to the Domestic Black Magic Disaster Prevention Regulations, I want to take over the command here until a higher-level Beyonder arrives. Mr. Chief, you understand, right?"
"Yes, I understand," the director-general looked pale, but nodded. "When I escaped from the office, I found that the situation was out of control. The infected people may have mixed in with the crowd and fled to the city."
In the event of an outbreak of black magic or the emergence of a highly contagious disease, the administrator must follow the instructions of the extraordinary person on site and implement a blockade or purification of the local area. Even if the extraordinary person present is a young girl like Amber, she is also an expert and has unquestionable command authority. This is a code engraved in the system and human brain through countless case experiences.
For those potential infected persons who do not comply with the instructions and want to escape from the closed area and uncooperative administrative officials, Extraordinary people have the power to deal with arbitrary measures on an ad hoc basis, such as temporary dismissal and detention. If the situation is serious or extremely bad in nature, the Extraordinary can take all necessary offensive actions without sanction.
At least for now, Amber holds the power of life and death for everyone present.
…
What happened just now~I was almost surrounded and killed by four ghouls with rotten brains? Griffith recovered from his paralysis and felt a little incomprehensible about the situation just now.
As a Sequence 8 Beyonder, wearing heavy armor and possessing enchanted weapons and armor in his hands, Griffith was knocked to the ground through the shield in a few seconds. If Amber hadn't rescued him, even if You have to suffer a lot even if you don't die.
Amber is directing the gathered survivors to build a barricade. The frightened crowd saw the astonishing fighting power she had just unleashed, and finally some of the officials from Minato who escaped tried to cheer up. The few defenders climbed onto nearby walls and arrow towers to snipe the approaching monsters.
The exit of the port area was originally blocked by two iron gates separated by dozens of meters. The defenders moved desks and wardrobes from nearby houses and piled them haphazardly behind the inner iron gate, and hastily formed a barrier facing the port area. barricades up to four meters high.
At this time, another shocking wave of corpses came over. Compared to the dozens just now, the number in this wave has doubled several times. But they didn't rush up directly. Instead, they gathered from all directions toward the end of the road leading to the exit, roaring and roaring in horror.
Someone is commanding them, rallying them, an experienced commander... Griffith feels that the situation is getting more serious.
These rotten and twisted monsters are gathering more and more on the other side of the road.
Suddenly, a ferocious and terrifying roar came from the depths of the port, and the dilapidated and frightening atmosphere of terror continued. Griffith had never heard of any monster that could make similar sounds, and he couldn't help but begin to imagine what a terrifying creature it was.
The defenders at the barricade were immediately shaken.
"Take up weapons and stop them!" Amber picked up the collar of the port chief and shouted sternly, "We are going to block these things in the port. Come to the barricade with me, you and your people!"
