The chaos in the square alarmed the Summer Palace. Griffith sensed that several powerful auras were surging, and the extraordinary beings at the party were about to take action.
In this case, what Griffith has to do is to secure the outer entrance to prevent living corpses from rushing in to threaten Sonia or cause chaos, and at the same time protect the safety of Miss Mirantis.
As soon as he put the princess down, there was a dense sound behind him, like thunder on a summer day or like rocks falling from the top of the mountain. The monster that was suspected of being a death knight was suddenly surrounded by a large group of living corpses like a cloud of poisonous insects in the southern dense forest, and began to launch an all-out charge towards the Summer Palace.
They used the explosive acid corpse monster as the vanguard to attack the defense line, followed closely by the huge suture monster and dense living corpses, rolling over from one side of the wide square. Soldiers and civilians who could not dodge were killed by corpses wherever they went. The tide swallowed him up and disappeared instantly, and even the armor he wore would be dissolved in the successive explosions and splashing dark green acid.
These explosive corpse monsters are stronger than the similar ones that appear in Raven. They run and roll on all fours. The corrosive acid explodes in a wider range and moves faster. They are quite similar to the self-destructing balls used by Griffith.
They came in a large and dense group, and even the powerful noble guards were intimidated and dodged. Suddenly, the only thing blocking their advance was fifty or sixty cavalry on foot at the main entrance of the Summer Palace.
Storm Squadron cannot retreat, but the result of holding on to the entrance can only be that everyone will be knocked clean in an instant.
"Nonna, protect Miss Mirantis and retreat inside!" Griffith had no time to hesitate and issued the order decisively, "Others, follow my order."
He placed the blood thorn across the saddle, took the command and put it on.
The dark golden helmet enveloped him like a cage, and some strange feeling surged up again.
Griffith felt that he was in the quiet darkness, and the tension and panic quietly receded. The bloody night wind, the beating gravel, the flying blood foam, and many tiny movements were grasped by his consciousness and outlined. Strange picture.
The feeling is completely different from the arena. He seemed to be integrated into the world. Details of killings, threats, hostility, locations and time passage were presented in an indescribable way. A suffocating amount of information flooded into his brain like a tide.
Dominance was detecting the battlefield at lightning speed, identifying the environment and danger signals and presenting them to him.
It is said that extraordinary beings on the Ranger path can control the movements of flowers, stones, plants and trees on the battlefield, looking for opportunities and dangers in the swaying petals and the caress of the breeze. Griffith's perception at this time was amplified to such an astonishing degree.
Praise Galadia and thank Ms. Avina!
Come, undead, let us dance.
Griffith's sharp gaze passed through the visor of his helmet, like a scarlet moon sweeping over the surging tide of corpses. He blocked out a lot of messy information and obtained the psychic ripples that appeared in his mind. A scene intertwined with the terrain.
Different psychic ripples allowed him to identify terrifying death knights, giant suture monsters, swift ghouls, rotting living corpses...
Among the layers of monsters, he found the life signal of the acid corpse monster, as if he had found a hidden bush in the grass, and locked it firmly in an instant.
Tactical control activated!
Through the strengthening of the command, Griffith's perception was amplified to an unprecedented level, and he obtained a local battlefield map projected into his consciousness, and quickly locked onto the most threatening units in a dense group of enemies.
He activated the feather flag with his spiritual energy and recited silently in his heart. A clear echo immediately passed through the chaotic battlefield filled with wails and screams, and directly contacted the captains, deputy captains and some sergeants of the nearby squads.
"Follow my orders, regroup and prepare to throw your guns."
The sergeants heard his will and didn't understand what was happening for a while, but the firm discipline of being an elite unit made them take action.
They received the order in a way they had never experienced before. The three squads of armored cavalry and dragoons, with the squad captain, deputy captain and sergeant as the core, formed ten combat groups of five or six people and rushed towards the corpse tide. Raise your spear in the direction.
The acid corpse monsters had already driven away the nearby armies, and were heading towards the only squadron that still maintained order in the entire Square Mountain. The acid zombies are ready to attack. The inflated corrosive acid and bloating air bags will burst at any time. Just waiting to hit a human, they can explode the acid that can melt bones and steel.
"volley!"
Amidst the intensive whistling sound that seemed to tear the air, a piece of silver light swept away like stars falling to the ground, piercing the swollen corpse monsters, piercing their chests and skins and coming out.
The buzzing and crackling sounds came one after another. The zombie monsters in the front row exploded on the spot as a result of this head-on attack, and the rolling tide of zombies seemed to have hit an invisible wall and was instantly suffocated.
This round of volleys was not enough to destroy all the acid corpse monsters. More monsters immediately passed over the exploding similar creatures and moved closer to the dismounted cavalry.
At the moment when the projection was completed, the team leader and the sergeants received a clear will. This will even formed an almost image track in their minds, ordering them to disrupt the shield wall and dense formation, move in small groups according to the direction of the clock, and prepare to throw guns while moving.
The foot cavalry followed the group leader's order and did not immediately launch a second round of spears. Instead, they moved in front of the corpse monster that almost jumped in front of them, spreading out like blooming petals.
The acid corpse monsters crashed towards the squadron's position, only to find that a large deserted open space suddenly appeared in front of them, and there were scattered soldiers and flashing guns in all directions.
New orders followed.
"Stop!"
"Fire volley at the corpse monster!"
Following Griffith's order, the dispersing cavalrymen already held throwing spears in their hands, turned around and fired another intensive round of throwing spears at the attacking corpse monster. Before the rushing monsters had time to disperse and pursue their prey, a silver ring had already been locked towards them.
The death knights commanding them were stunned. In the hissing roar, the corpse monster was hit by projections from the front, rear, left and right. There were no groups of soldiers nearby. For a moment, he didn't know where to attack, and saw a dense rain of spears coming towards his face.
Bang bang explosions came one after another, and the dark green acid exploded into a ball like a flower, splashing on the floor tiles, making a horrifying hissing sound.
"Hiss-ouch!"
The last acid corpse monsters swarmed forward, and the suture monsters, ghouls, and ordinary living corpses also passed by the rotting liquid that had not yet been exhausted by the second round of explosions, and pounced on the scattered cavalry on foot. The soldiers who had just projected suddenly turned around together and retreated towards the surroundings again.
They didn't go far. As they walked, they took off their sharp spears and held them in their hands. After only eight or nine steps, they turned around and fired another round at the group of corpses surrounded in the middle.
"Bang!"
The spear was thrown through the broken flesh of the living corpse, and several heads were nailed together and they all fell down. This round of volley also destroyed some of the acid monsters in the corpse group. The splashing acid splashed down and dissolved the remaining bones and carrion of the living corpses crowded together.
These three rounds of volleys and two rounds of pulling knocked the zombies to pieces. The monsters that were originally advancing layer by layer were in a mess. There were not even ten acid corpse monsters left. Other monsters also festered and disintegrated in the overwhelming explosion of corrosive fluid.
…
Griffith felt dizzy and almost fell off the saddle. It was the first time that he was exposed to such complex battlefield information and used it with command. His brain was almost bursting, and a wave of heat instantly surged in his mouth and spurted out from the corner of his mouth.
He raised his hand and wiped it, and when he lowered his head, he saw that his gauntlet was covered in blood.
I never imagined that this would be such a heavy burden on me! Griffith felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly rode back a few steps.
The volley just now interrupted the zombie attack, but the enemy's main force was still there. A monster suspected to be a death knight is gathering its troops, preparing to attack across the wall of acid mist.
The soldiers of Storm Squadron no longer threw their guns. They are scattered among each other and cannot even get together for a short time.
However, by this time, there was no need for Griffith and the squadron to take action.
A majestic chant came from above, like the roar of the earth before a volcano erupted, and like the anger of the legendary gods. The chanting repeats over and over again, continuously adding astonishing spiritual energy ripples, and it is so majestic that it is impossible to look up at it. The chanting stopped abruptly, and flames erupted from the balcony on the second floor of the Summer Palace. A spear wrapped in flames roared out and was thrown in the direction of the death knight.
This blow created a huge force, and the living corpses wherever it went were directly rolled up by the tongues of fire and turned into ashes like grass.
The flame throwing spear went straight towards the death knight. The monster drew out a huge silver scimitar as big as a sickle and swung it forward. The spear exploded into a huge orange fireball, swallowing up the corpses surrounding it.
"Heh, it doesn't look like a fake at all~"
Odessa's extraordinary demon hunter, Dillaz, the Blade of Light and Shadow, takes action. He stepped on the charred and smoking broken wall, and was condensing a second flaming spear in his hand.
The death knight emerged from the smoke, raised his hand and shook it, and the invisible power spread.
Oops, that's the trick! Griffith immediately realized that this was a group mutation that had appeared in Raven, which could infect living people injured by living corpses into horrific corpses in a short period of time. If allowed to succeed, the army of undead creatures would have terrifying lethality in an instant.
Under the death knight's grip, the surroundings were extremely calm, as if a more violent tragedy was brewing. Griffith's whole body was shaken, and he hurriedly looked around and found that although some of the bitten passers-by looked painful, they did not die of infection.
"Don't worry, knight," Miss Mirantis, who was hiding behind, said with a relaxed look on her face. "The extraordinary beings delayed taking action until now. They must have taken necessary sealing measures."
Only then did Griffith notice the strange spiritual energy waving in the air, as if an invisible wall enveloped the sky. The death knight's extraordinary power is actually imprisoned in the psychic wall and cannot spread.
Lord Seydlitz, the strongest transcendent under the demigods of Odessa, Shi Shiran, came to Dillaz's side at the window. He played with the wand in his hand and looked at the monsters in the square with interest. After a moment, he slowly spoke:
"Crush them and leave the death knights behind."
As soon as he finished speaking, a crescent-like cold light swept out from the Summer Palace, cutting through the dense group of corpses like a sickle, cutting hundreds of monsters into two pieces.
The death knight immediately realized that something was wrong. He drove the corpse tide to cover, and rode his horse to escape, but he ran into an invisible wall.
An invisible barrier hundreds of meters long blocked the way, and the undead creatures were like rats falling into a trap.
Odessa's extraordinary wizards Lei Jin, Solan, and Killian took action. They wrapped themselves in layers of magic shields and mage armors, waved their wands, and set off clouds of fire storms and hailstones thrown from the sky. The attack of ice and fire slammed into the zombie tide overwhelmingly, crushing them piece by piece.
Then the bugles sounded, the sound of uniform footsteps came from near the square, and the gleaming forest of guns flashed in the darkness.
Griffith subconsciously became vigilant and saw a large number of Odessa city defense troops swarming in from all directions. They were equipped with mail or leather armor, a small shield hanging on their left hand, and holding a spear in both hands. They poured out from various streets like tributaries flowing into a river. They each formed a square formation under the leadership of the commander, and the remaining The corpses surrounded the square and pressed on them with thunderous force.
Although these soldiers cannot be compared with legionnaires, their firm pace and solid formation can also tell that they are not ordinary militiamen. The most important thing is that although the undead attack happened for a while, it was still very sudden for the mobilization of the army. After a sudden attack, it is not easy to assemble a large group of city defense troops in a short period of time. .
Odessa’s strength cannot be underestimated! Griffith dismounted, leaving Nona to lead the squadron, and accompanied Miss Mirantis quickly back to the hall.
…
The nobles and officers from Beyeland were all facing a powerful enemy. They crowded around the prince and observed the movement in silence. Griffith even saw that many extraordinary people did not look at the prince, and their eyes were firmly locked on the local aristocratic senators in Odessa headed by Mr. Seydlitz.
As long as there is a spark, people here can take action.
"Your Highness!" Miss Mirantis simply wiped the blood and ran towards the prince. Seeing her appear, eyes from all directions gathered.
Griffith stared into Lord Seydlitz's eyes, trying to find clues there. Who would have thought that this big shot would run over like a rabbit and cry bitterly next to the princess. While confessing his incompetence, he vowed to kill all the undead monsters.
I'm really more excited than the prince...
Prince Commodus kindly comforted his fiancée for a few words, then turned around and left with her under the protection of a large group of officers and extraordinary people.
When danger occurred, the prince did not come to help immediately. If it were not for me, the princess would have been in trouble today. Aren't they a model couple? Lovers are not like this... Griffith muttered in his heart and slandered the prince.
