Chapter 38 The Burning Dawn ([-])
"We are believers in the Supreme Light."
The knight got off his horse, took off his helmet, and put his right hand on his forehead, "I came this time to go to Laurel City to kill the demon who returned from hell to the world."
Then, he looked at the people in front of him with some doubts, "Are you adventurers passing by? Can you point us in the right direction and make sure we're not going wrong?"
"Do not."
The person who communicated with the knight was the captain of the first team. He shook his head and said, "We escaped from Laurel City. There are hundreds of people in the woods behind."
The knight's eyes lit up, "There are hundreds of people, that's great!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he himself felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "I mean I'm very lucky... No! I know that demon is very powerful, so I think it's one thing, one thing..."
As he spoke, the knight stuttered, because he didn't know what to say.
At this time, his adjutant came up and pressed his shoulder.
"Sorry, our captain's mouth is a bit stupid. He didn't want to satirize you, but just wanted to express his joy and joy that so many of you survived."
The knight nodded repeatedly, rubbing his fingers a little embarrassedly.
"It's okay, I understand, I understand." The mercenary smiled kindly, and he also saw that the knight of the sun god was not malicious.
Then, the adjutant suppressed his smile and looked up at the sky, "It's getting late, we have to set off as soon as possible, the sooner we arrive at Laurel City, the better."
After receiving the oracle, they put on their equipment as quickly as possible, asked their attendants to help pack their bags, and then set off at night. It took them one night to come here through several territories-for this reason, they even sent attendants to knights. Did not bring.
A powerful demon has awakened in Laurel City and returned with its undead army. If they cannot be prevented from opening the gate of the abyss, Yitruul and even the entire Westland will be devastated.
"Wait a minute, brothers of the Church of the Sun!"
A deep voice came from the woods, and the apologists turned their heads to look.
The middle-aged deacon walked out of the woods quickly, and the robe on his body showed his identity.
"Are you a monk from the Luna Church?" The head of the Knights was surprised, "You escaped with the people from Laurel City?"
The middle-aged deacon shook his head, "No, it was an adventurer who led us out of Yuegui City. His name is 'Zhong Ye', and he is a native of the East."
"Adventurer?" The head of the knight squad showed surprise.
"I want to ask you one thing - after you arrive in Laurel City, if you meet an Eastern native adventurer, please help him."
The middle-aged deacon lowered his head and saluted solemnly, and the others followed suit after they realized it.
Seeing a group of people bowing to him for one person, the head of the Knights was inexplicably shocked, and at the same time curious.
If there is a chance, he really wants to meet that adventurer named 'Zhong Ye'.
The knight leader nodded to the middle-aged deacon, put on his helmet, and rode on his horse.
The middle-aged acolyte pointed out the direction for the knights. The knights whistled at the same time, and two hundred horses stepped forward at the same time. The speed of travel has been maintained at the highest point.
Before dawn, the Knights set off again towards Laurel City.
…………
Feisal looked up at the castle in front of him. The tireless and hard-to-kill undead army continued to attack the castle. The castle had lost its outer walls and other buildings, and the knights leading the war left a lot of corpses , retreat to the fortress.
There was an empty square between the fortress and the outer wall. Behind Feisal, undead soldiers dragged the body of the city defense army who had died on the outer wall.
"400 years, can make war look different..."
Faisal couldn't help expressing emotion that war was not like this 400 years ago.
No muskets, no artillery, all ranged attack abilities come from bows and mages.
Feisal had seen gunpowder, but he didn't expect that 400 years later, people would be able to use those 'dangerous things' to create weapons that would allow powerless mortals to kill superhumans.
It's a pity that the person who commanded the battle still had a little brain, and he didn't forget to destroy the gunpowder that couldn't be taken away when he fled.
Faisal was given muskets and cannon, and a pile of soaked gunpowder, and it was a pity that he could not attack the fort with such weapons.
It can 'see' the terrified soldiers hiding behind the gates and windows, and the terrified civilians who fled into the fort in time, besides that, there are also nobles and wealthy businessmen who are hiding in the depths of the fortress with fear.
Its soldiers have found the escape route of the castle, and hunted the heads of several nobles, scaring back those who tried to escape from the castle.
——If they escaped, where should it go to find enough sacrifices to open the gate of the abyss?
Feisal already knew about the escape of the civilians gathered in the church, and it also thought about chasing after them, but at that time, the King of Wisdom gave it an order——open the gate of the abyss as soon as possible.
Therefore, Feisal had no choice but to give up the idea of pursuing.
The civilians who did not have time to escape into the fortress were shut out by the soldiers, and their bodies were piled up and placed in front of the fortress gate early.
Blood flowed into the fortress along the dark ditch, and the people hiding in the fortress smelled the bloody smell and wanted to spit it out in fear.
boom--
Suddenly there was a cannon sound, and the pile of corpses exploded, blood and flesh splashed everywhere, making Feisaler unable to help but let out a low 'laugh'.
"madness……"
There are three cannons in the fort, and when one of the cannons starts to fire, the other two will naturally follow.
Stretching out the bone claws and holding them in the air, the flying sand condensed in Feisaler's hands, forming a shield.
The shells roared and hit the shield with a bang. Numerous cracks appeared on the shield, but it didn't break, and Feisal didn't even step back.
Another shell flew towards an undead soldier who was dragging the corpse. The two corpses exploded at the same time. One turned into countless flesh and blood and smeared on the ground. After a moment of silence, the other climbed up again.
Be afraid, the more you are afraid, the closer you will be to the abyss...
With a wave of Feisal's hand, the undead transformed from the civilians of Laurel City rushed to the fortress one after another, dug their fingers into the cracks in the bricks, and climbed to the top of the fortress.
The soldiers stationed at the top of the castle gasped, unable to suppress their fear, and threw the furniture down before more undead climbed up.
Dressing tables, tables, seats, and all furniture with a certain weight were moved to the top of the fortress. These expensive luxury goods fell on the zombies, and they fell to the ground together, turning them into a pile of worthless pieces.
Feisal was admiring the bloody theater, and suddenly, an uncomfortable feeling surged from the bottom of his heart, making him unable to help but look back.
There was a little light behind the layers of cloud waves, the blood moon faded to only a vague outline, and the bright stars once again shone on the curtain of the night, but their brilliance was also fleeting.
Xiaguang appeared from the other end of the sky, piercing the darkness suddenly, splitting the sea of clouds, and the stars no longer shine.
The long night will come to an end, and the hour of dawn has come.
"The nasty sun..."
Cursing, Feisal turned his attention back to the fortress.
And just when it turned its attention back, a vigorous fire of life suddenly broke into its perception range.
Feisal was stunned for a moment, it seemed to have a little impression of the 'breath' of this fire of life.
The position is behind, and is rushing to the castle.
"interesting……"
Feisal waited silently for a moment, then looked back.
A black shadow appeared from the other side of the long street. Just now, it drew out the great sword on its back and charged at its army.
The morning sun was slowly rising behind him, but in Feisal's 'eyes', those eyes full of anger were no less dim than the rising sun.
Looking at the figure, Feisal raised his arms.
"Spear ready--
"shoot!"
The arm swung down like a wave like a tide, and it flew into the sky like a spear thrown in heavy rain.
The soldiers hiding in the fort watched this scene in horror, watching the spears rushing out of the castle.
They watched the sun gather its morning light, and then it was drowned out by the black mass of spears.
