Age of Adepts

Chapter 991: Assault on Hythas

Views:

In the middle of the night, the city of Haisas was attacked.

The attack came from outside the city.

Hundreds of infected people who had been transformed into poisonous corpses by the plague toxins gathered from all directions, and crazily charged at the city gate of Haisas.

For this moment, Remy, the poisonous plague spirit, had spread the plague seeds all over the surrounding human villages and towns, and thousands of creatures were infected with the hidden plague. In order not to startle the enemy, it allowed these plague seeds to lurk safely in the bodies of the villagers and merchants, weakening its lethality.

After Greem gave the order, Remy immediately activated all the plague seeds.

Almost instantly, thousands of human beings in more than a dozen villages and towns fell to the ground screaming in pain, and the terrifying transformation of poisonous corpses began. Those with weak constitutions, or those whose foundations were not up to standard, all died miserably in the process of painful transformation.

There are no more than seven or eight hundred people who can persevere through the transformation of poisonous corpses.

Still, that's enough!

At Remy's order, all the people who lost their minds and turned into highly poisonous zombies flocked to the city of Hessas, climbed up the city wall with inhuman speed and agility, and fought with the city guards who rushed over. together.

It is said to be a fight, but it is actually more like a massacre!

These modified poisonous corpses didn't know what death was at all, and they also lost all consciousness. They all lay down on the ground and jumped like flying, howling and rushing towards the heavily armed city guard soldiers.

The swords swung by the city guards slashed at them like they were on the hide of a rhinoceros, making their wrists numb, but it was difficult to inflict enough damage on them.

These horrible poisonous corpses, which are unconscious, fearless of sharp weapons, and infinitely powerful, flew up one by one, throwing the soldiers to the ground, gnawing and biting crazily when lying on them. And they became like wild beasts with sharp claws and sharp teeth, all of which were covered with terrible toxins. As long as the skin of a human warrior is scratched, the opponent will die within a dozen fingers of the toxin attack.

And these soldiers who had just died, when Remy floated past them, they twitched and screamed violently again. Guys who can become imperial soldiers obviously have good physiques. Therefore, most of them survived the terrible transformation of poisonous corpses, and then climbed crookedly from the ground.

They threw away the swords in their hands, and were still wearing the clothes they had when they were alive. Their skin turned a terrifying dark blue color, dotted with purple and black poisonous spots. They screamed strangely, crawled and ran on the ground like wild beasts, and soon merged with the previous poisonous corpse army, jumped off the city wall, and rushed towards the nearby houses.

Although there were still sporadic battles going on on the city wall, it was just a few black iron knights on duty occupying a tower to resist stubbornly there. When the impatient Remy stepped onto the battlefield himself, this little resistance disappeared immediately.

And behind Remy, there were three more servants wearing paladin-style armor and howling like wild beasts.

Although these poisonous corpses are very convenient to transform, they are still very effective against ordinary people. But their individual combat power is only comparable to that of junior apprentices, and even those apprentice knights can easily deal with several of them.

Therefore, Remy did not regard them as the main force of the battle at all, but ordered them to disperse and rush into the houses, trying their best to infect as many humans as possible.

Hundreds of poisonous corpses broke into the city of Haisas, and instantly turned it into a purgatory on earth.

Those helpless people fled in panic, screams, shouts, cries, begging for mercy... the sound of boiling over the sky, waking up the city that had just quieted down from sleep again.

Ordinary humans have almost no power to fight back when encountering poisonous corpses except to close their eyes and wait for death.

These poisonous corpses have no pain, no fear of life and death, and are covered in poison, and they also have agility that is not inferior to cheetahs. They climb over walls like walking on flat ground, and they fly across houses and houses.

People were running helplessly, crying, and everywhere around them, swift figures could be seen jumping freely on the house and on the wall.

From time to time, they pounced out of the darkness, knocked individual humans to the ground, and then swarmed together, competing to enjoy the feast of flesh and blood one after another.

Some brave strong men stood up and chopped down one poisonous corpse after another with the sword in their hands. But these poisonous corpses didn't seem to care about the huge wounds and blood holes on their bodies. Even though their claws and heads were cut off, they still bit and scratched each other's bodies desperately.

Only by being completely dismembered can they be completely dead!

And once they die, a terrible yellow-green cloud of smoke will be dispersed from the whole body. Any creature that touches these smoke clouds will be infected with the terrible plague seeds in the shortest possible time.

Facing such a difficult-to-kill monster, the people who had just mustered up some courage soon collapsed.

They dropped the sticks and swords in their hands and hid one after another, unwilling to continue fighting with this unkillable monster.

And when the poisonous corpses raged wildly in the city of Haisas, groups of well-armored and well-trained city guards stood up and formed shields, walls and spears at the intersection of the streets. Then, under the command of the paladins, they shouted slogans and began to move forward step by step with neat steps.

A few poisonous corpses without long eyes jumped down from the surrounding houses, and rushed towards the spear array with hands and feet.

They jumped up, puff puff, and successfully hung themselves on the five-meter-long metal spear. They didn't care about such a terrible piercing huge wound, but twisted wildly to let the spear pass through their body, and approached the shield formation a little bit.

Their black claws scratched and creaked on the metal shield, leaving a series of terrible scratches on it. And a thick stench of poisonous smoke drifted out from their wounds, quickly wrapping the front edge of the shield array inside.

The three shield players who were involved coughed violently, and the entire shield array immediately became distorted and deformed.

"Don't panic, keep in good shape, keep pushing..." the paladins who held long swords and acted as supervisors shouted loudly.

As streaks of milky white holy light fell on the soldiers' heads, the plague germs that had just been infected on their bodies were dispelled in an instant, and they quickly returned to normal. As for the few poisonous corpses hanging on the spears, the paladin raised his sword and chopped them into a pile of scattered corpses, and then ignited the poisonous smoke with a torch.

It is obviously difficult for ordinary poisonous corpses to deal with paladins.

Whether it is the poison in the body or the sharp minions, they are restrained by the paladins.

In a way, paladins are really the nemesis of all evil creatures!

At this time, there are many masters in the city of Haysas, and the strong ones emerge. Therefore, Remy, the plague poisonous spirit, chose to hide behind the scenes, and tried his best to transform the poisonous corpses to attack the Paladins. Although the damage to the poisonous corpse would be very serious, it still firmly restrained the large army of paladins in the city.

Just as the plague corpses and the paladin troops were fighting and tangled up in various streets in the city, Greem was already fully dressed, dressed as a black iron knight, and strode towards the Holy Light Chapel.

Along the way, you can see paladins rushing over and city guards waiting in full force everywhere. Several streets around the Holy Light Chapel have been put under martial law, and no one is allowed to get close to it. Only a very small number of high-ranking dignitaries in Haisas City can temporarily take shelter in the Holy Light Chapel under the protection of the paladins.

As for the rest of the middle and lower nobles, even if they were crying for their father and mother, or cursing loudly, they couldn't even step into the Holy Light Chapel. However, they are still much stronger than ordinary people. After all, there are a large group of city guards and paladins around them who can give them some protection.

At this critical moment, the city is already in chaos, and the command system of the city guards and paladins is also somewhat chaotic.

Relying on his black iron knight outfit, Greem reached the gate of the Holy Light Chapel with almost no obstacles.

A high chest barrier has been built here, guarded by a large group of paladins.

Seeing someone striding forward, they couldn't help but press their swords, and their mood suddenly lifted. But when they saw Greem's equipment clearly, they breathed a sigh of relief.

A second-level silver knight came up to him and asked loudly, "What's your name? If you don't stick to your post at this time, what are you doing here?"

Greem said solemnly: "Hurry up and take me to see Your Excellency Commander, I found traces of wizards in the city!"

"What? Where is the wizard...?" The silver knight was stunned and asked nervously.

"The matter is urgent. Hurry up and take me to the Commander. I was dispatched to the noble district a few days ago, and I accidentally discovered that there were people secretly colluding with wizards, leading them into the city, and secretly holding some terrible evil ceremonies. …”

"What? These damned nobles..." The Silver Knight immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the information you provided is very good, and I will take you to see Your Excellency the Commander. Only he can do such a thing." Give the order. Come with me!"

After saying that, the Silver Knight turned around and explained a few words to his subordinates, and then led Greem into the chapel in a hurry.

While the two of them were striding inside, Greem scanned all the buildings inside.

"My lord, I have secretly observed that the evil ritual is likely to be used to attack our sacred circle. Is the security there safe enough?"

"Don't worry!" The silver knight casually pointed to a brightly lit hall on the right side of the cathedral, and comforted him, "There are three silver knights guarding it, do the enemies want to destroy it..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a stormy wave of violent elemental fluctuations coming from behind him.

When he looked back in horror, what he saw was a rapidly growing steel fist...
