"Amber, prepare to fight!"
Although Griffith could not see the battle behind the city wall, the powerful pressure that caused the mutation was clearly imprinted on his mind.
The infection hidden in the bodies of the wounded is fueled by the Death Knight's power, spreading death and infection among the living.
"Won't you wait a little longer?" Amber felt that the number of living corpses on the front line was astonishing, and she was not sure what a few reinforcements could change.
Griffith shook his head and said:
"The defense line is hopeless. The infection no longer needs to kill humans to transform them, and the spread speed is not at the same level as before. I think there is no need to hide such a powerful force until now. If it were taken out earlier, the whole city would have fallen. .That death knight should be the key to causing mutation.
"It is difficult for the Death Knight and the Extraordinary to decide the winner in a short time. However, the injured will mutate rapidly under its power. This is a situation that was completely unexpected before. It is impossible for the Extraordinary to fight against the Death Knight and block the infection at the same time. Spread. Soon, several barriers will collapse, and I am going to rescue my companions."
After Griffith finished speaking, he began to inspect the horses, lances and armor. He glanced at Amber and said: "You stay here, don't take action yet, and respond to me according to the situation. Once everyone is rescued, we will take them to evacuate." Go to the lower city to organize."
"Don't you need me to cooperate with you?" The blonde girl shook her head and said while unfolding her gloves, "This place is two miles away from the barrier. Within the range of my infantry attack, we can still cooperate if we encounter a strong enemy. ."
"No need," Griffith had already calculated clearly, "My goal is to create a gap among the living corpses. I will use the speed of the war horse to avoid the powerful ones among them, without having to decide the outcome with them."
…
Thousands of living corpses are rushing toward the barrier, screaming. Some of them came from the western suburbs, and some refugees who did not have time to escape into the city were killed by the living corpses who took the back route, turning into another terrifying wave of corpses.
A huge undead army surrounded him from all sides. They squeezed each other, and one stepped on the other to form a wave of black corpses two or three meters high, roaring towards the barricade from the streets and alleys. Whenever the living zombies in front were eliminated by rockets and horseback, the zombies that followed immediately stepped on the remains of the same kind to take up their positions, and continued to attack the fortifications without fear of death.
"Hold on!"
Several officers and non-commissioned officers stood on the top of the barrier, holding flags and shouting to the city defense troops around them. The black tide of corpses hit the earthen walls and horses under their feet, making a shrill and horrifying roar, and even several tattered corpses were thrown into the sky.
"Drive them down!"
The soldiers who refused to defend the barrier stabbed with spears and smashed with hammers. Bursts of obscure and weird noises erupted from the dense tide of corpses, and green and black corpse fluids flew everywhere.
The soldiers threw out jars filled with kerosene and then threw down torches. The flames immediately exploded in the tide of corpses, forming countless scythe-like death whirlwinds.
The positions of these attacks are all chosen in front of the barrier where the zombies are densest, and the large groups of zombies will be burned into fireballs at once. The strong fishy smell and dense corpse juices made people sick. The fire oil tanks ignited blazing flames and raged across the battlefield, burning the densely surrounded living corpses into pieces.
The crackling and popping sounds kept ringing on the street, and huge holes appeared in the raging tide of corpses like torn rags.
However, the undead creatures moved directly across the ground that had just been swept by flames without any pause, once again filling the gap under the barrier.
Under the attack of thousands of living corpses, the three barriers guarding the intersection began to waver once again.
The effect of using knives and guns to attack the broken limbs of these death-defying undead creatures is not ideal. Even fire arrows often pass through the gaps between the bones and fail.
Although the defenders of the position fought very actively, except for a small number of Beyonders, the lethality of the weapons in the hands of most of the city defense troops and militia soldiers was weakened to an extremely low level.
The knocked down living corpses were scattered under the fortified deer village, one layer on top of another, and soon turned into a pile of corpses containing more than one person.
The human warriors were originally still ravaging the living corpses who were unable to fight back from a high position, but soon these monsters were able to grab their ankles and bite them or drag them off the fortifications.
The shield guard who carried a shoulder shield and held a steel ax in his hand swung his battle ax and smashed the monsters climbing up in front of him with one blow, but in the blink of an eye, the second group had already rushed up.
I don’t know how many soldiers covering the area have changed. The most experienced soldiers were injured, and then were killed together in the sudden change. The militiamen who had just been sent to fill the front line could not hold on for long before they screamed and were dragged down.
The tide of living corpses stretched out countless rotten, dry arms and claws, grabbing the screaming militiamen, and instantly flooded them like a deadly swamp.
"What the hell!"
The shield guard who was too late to rescue yelled in frustration, took half a step back, pulled off his helmet, and shouted towards an arrow tower in the position:
"Ophelia, the zombies are coming! Use your invincible magic eyes to think of a way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several living corpses had climbed onto the deer village at the feet of the shield guard, grabbing at his ankles. More undead creatures stepped on the corpses and skeletons under their feet, like a huge wave crashing towards the barrier and Luzhai.
The soldiers on the fortifications shouted almost simultaneously, turned around, jumped off the barrier and fled backwards. He fled slowly and was swept away by the wave of corpses, disappearing in a burst of gnawing.
The shield guard held up his strong shield to resist the four or five living corpses that rushed forward, and the battle ax in his hand swept over again. But this blow could not be recovered.
More living corpses and broken living corpses came from behind like bunches of grapes hanging on his arm armor and gauntlets. His calves were also unable to move as if they were stuck in mud. The swarms of monsters engulfed him like a tide, and they fell to the ground and began to bite him, not even a ray of light coming through.
Are you going to use your trump card in a place like this? ? The shield guard shook the undead creature on his body in annoyance, but he couldn't break free. The thick helmet made his vision unclear, and he could only hear the clanging and biting sounds.
Suddenly, a gap was torn open in the dark tide of corpses in front of him, and a bright silver light bloomed.
The pressure on the shield guard was relieved, and he broke free with a struggle.
On the low wall and deer village full of ferocious zombies, a smart and graceful figure flashed past. She navigated the uneven obstacles with ease, and even deftly stepped over the heads and shoulders of zombies, leaping over them before they even noticed.
Ophelia arrives for reinforcements.
She took out three feathered arrows that shone with light green light from her quiver one after another, and shot them in the direction of a group of soldiers who were surrounded by living corpses.
The first arrow penetrated the heads of four zombies and knocked them down.
The second arrow shot through the spine of a huge ghoul, directly exploding it into flying bone fragments. The arc-shaped shock wave and fragments overturned the undead creatures that came up.
The third arrow missed all the living and dead and stuck into a wooden wall. This seemingly missed arrow then tore apart a wooden stake, causing half of the nearby wooden wall to fall down, directly blocking a gap through which the living corpses poured in.
Three consecutive shots, three consecutive shots that combine killing, blocking and blocking the enemy!
A squad of city defense troops who were in despair a moment ago were saved from the brink of death in the blink of an eye. Before they could cheer, Ophelia's agile figure had already flashed to another position and shot an arrow at a particularly large stitch monster among the corpses.
"Bang!"
The hit Stitch Monster had suffered a series of blows before, and was eating a corpse while shaking its head, trying to overwhelm the defense line with its strong vitality and recovery ability. Suddenly it was hit head-on, and the head protected by the thick carrion burst open.
Like a flash of light, Ophelia jumped at the most dangerous position on the collapsing front, shooting the strongest enemies one after another, and actually repelled the tide of corpses rushing up the barrier by herself.
At this time, other city defense troops were not idle either, throwing torches and barrels filled with kerosene.
In bursts of explosions, the fortifications on the position burned, and the living corpses that followed were swept into the sea of fire.
Taking advantage of the fire, the defenders also retreated one after another, bandaging their wounds or hurriedly drinking water and eating some dry food in the center of the position.
Ophelia nimbly walked through the ruins and jumped back to everyone. When the shocked soldiers saw her, they all supported their tired bodies and stood up to pay tribute to her.
"43:19, I'm ahead by a huge margin!" Ophelia ignored everyone, went straight to the shield guard, took off her helmet and raised her chin proudly. She holds an exquisite light green long bow and wears tight black leather armor. Red crystals and patterns outline her seductive curves at just the right place. The long golden ponytail swayed happily, and together with the different-colored eyes, it exuded a fascinating beauty.
She replenished herself with arrows as she spoke. There was originally a pot full of arrows on her back, but they were all used up in a few dozen seconds of fighting.
"It's amazing, you're the best!" Midian Maier took off his helmet, found a clean handkerchief from the bag beside him, poured some potion on it and handed it over, "Quickly wipe it."
"Did you bleed again?"
"Um."
"Why don't I feel it? Sure enough, I have become stronger again!"
Ophelia's beautiful blue and red eyes were flashing with excitement. However, the red eyes shedding tears of blood were simply shocking when paired with her beautiful appearance.
Midianmeiya drank the water slowly, with no nervousness or optimism on his face, and calmly glanced around the position.
In the crisis just now, the officers of the city defense army, who were about to be unable to resist, began to set fire to stop the enemy. This temporary fortress position made of low walls and wooden fortifications has been burned into a ring of fire by raging flames, and the defenders inside can feel the heat wave on their faces.
In the firelight and thick smoke, vague shadows can still be seen, staggering into the fire and burning. Every time this scene is repeated, the dense shadows behind the fire smoke become clearer.
This position must be abandoned...
The two fortresses not far away were in the same situation. Seeing that they could not support themselves, the defenders successively lit the fences and deer villages of the camp, using the fire to buy themselves some breathing time.
