"Undead! So many undead!"
"My Lord Earl, be careful!"
The extraordinary knights cried out in surprise and immediately raised their swords and steel shields to protect Charlotte.
"Roar!"
Hearing the knights' voices, the undead in the dense forest growled and rushed towards the crowd like a tide of zombies in a movie.
The battle broke out in an instant.
The extraordinary knights swung their swords and chopped down the zombies that rushed towards them.
However, the next moment, the zombies that were chopped down by the knights stood up again and continued to rush towards the knights.
"Cut off their heads! Extinguish the fire of their souls!"
The experienced knight leader shouted.
The remaining extraordinary knights immediately changed the direction of their attack and attacked the zombies' heads.
They chopped off the rotten heads one after another, and the foul-smelling black blood gushed out. The headless zombies swayed slightly, fell to the ground and turned into ordinary corpses again.
The strength of these zombies is not very strong.
Although their strength is far greater than that of ordinary people and they do not feel pain, there are almost no people who can enter the stage.
As long as they are not ambushed, they are no match for the extraordinary people.
However, the number of zombies was too large.
Dense fires of ghosts were lit up in the dense forest, more and more zombies rushed out, and the extraordinary knights could not kill them all.
Almost instantly, Charlotte and others were surrounded.
"Protect the Earl! Break through!"
The leading extraordinary knight chopped down another zombie to the ground and shouted orders.
As the only Star Knight who followed the Earl out to explore, he rushed to the front and had already opened a path back to the camp.
However, just as he finished speaking, a gust of evil wind came from his side, and a zombie that was much faster than the other undead pounced towards him.
This advanced zombie is obviously more intelligent than the other zombies.
It raised the rusty steel sword high, jumped up, and actually used sword skills directly to chop towards the knight captain's head.
"It's an entry leveler! Captain, be careful!"
The extraordinary knights were shocked.
The knight captain was startled and quickly turned around to defend.
However, he had just released his strength and did not have enough time to refocus his defense, not to mention facing the sudden attack of a zombie that had already entered the advanced stage.
He barely managed to put on a defensive posture, but the zombies' attack had already landed.
The knight captain only felt a huge force coming from the tiger's mouth, making his hands numb, and the long sword in his hand was actually knocked directly to the ground by the zombie.
But the zombies' attack did not end.
It twisted its body at a strange angle that a normal person could never do, raised the rusty sword again, and slashed at the knight captain.
"team leader!"
The extraordinary knights exclaimed.
Looking at the rusty sword coming down towards him, the knight captain's face turned pale.
He knew that he couldn't block this attack!
However, just when he thought he was about to die, a sharp sound of breaking air came from behind.
A crossbow arrow directly pierced through the head of the advanced zombie, carrying the rotten head directly away and nailing it to a tree trunk not far away.
The headless zombie shook a few times and slowly fell down.
The anxious extraordinary knights were slightly stunned, and the cavalry captain was also slightly stunned.
He subconsciously turned around, and saw his beautiful and lovely Earl standing not far away. She slowly put away the crossbow she had taken out from somewhere, and skillfully loaded a new crossbow.
It is different from the elegance and kindness at the banquet, and also different from the innocence and loveliness in daily life...
At this moment, Charlotte looked calm, and showed no fear of the terrifying zombies at all. She did not look like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl at all.
She was seen holding a crossbow, crossing the corpses on the ground, coming to the side of the knight captain, and picking up the rusty sword used by the zombie who had just entered the ranks, and weighing it in her hand.
However, after pulling out the rusty sword, the girl seemed to have discovered something. She frowned slightly, raised the sword and sniffed it.
Then, she raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"The Count... Your Excellency?"
Noticing the girl's thoughtful look, the knight captain couldn't help but call out.
Charlotte came back to her senses when she heard the knight's voice.
She waved her rusty sword, looked at the zombies not far away, took a deep breath, and said calmly:
"Follow me to break through."
After saying that, she walked past the knight captain and headed towards the camp.
As if attracted by the girl's vibrant breath of life, the zombies roared and pounced towards her.
"My Lord Earl!"
The Knight Captain's expression changed slightly.
He quickly picked up his sword again and prepared to go forward to provide support.
However, before he could rush forward, he saw that his own earl had taken the lead in launching the attack.
Under the clear moonlight, the girl's golden hair swayed in the wind, sparkling with a little silver light.
She swung the rusty sword and slashed at the zombies that were charging towards her.
The girl's movements did not involve any complicated techniques, only the simplest and most basic swordsmanship.
However, the knight captain was surprised to find that his sight could not follow the movements of his own earl.
Fast... very fast!
Charlotte dodged and the silver sword light reflected by the moonlight flickered around her.
A sharp sword flashed, and the zombie rushed towards her and ran a few steps. In an instant, its head and body were separated and it fell to the ground.
The zombie rushing in the front was directly cut off by the sword light, and even the tattered armor on his body was cut in half.
The girl who carried out all these attacks did so with ease and comfort.
She swung the rusty sword casually, and the black blood on it was thrown to the ground. A crimson light flickered faintly in her azure eyes.
For the first time, a supernatural aura spread from Charlotte's body, carrying with it a deep wave of magical power...
The powerful aura made the knight captain, who was also a star, feel a slight tingling sensation on his skin.
That is an instinct that comes from the body of a superhuman when encountering a more powerful superhuman.
The entry level!
The Earl is actually an advanced one!
The Knight Captain's eyes widened.
However, at this moment, another swift figure rushed out from the tide of zombies.
It turned out to be another zombie that had reached the next level!
Like the first zombie, this one was extremely cunning.
The timing and direction it chose were so clever that it rushed over just when the girl had just finished a round of attack, and launched a sneak attack directly from behind the girl!
The knight captain's expression changed drastically, and he was about to give a warning, but he saw that his own earl seemed to have eyes behind him. He raised his crossbow and shot an arrow behind him with one hand.
The sharp crossbow shot out, as if the angle had been calculated long ago, and pierced directly through the head of the jumping zombie, sending it flying and nailing it directly to the tree.
The zombie that entered the next level twitched twice, and the dark green flames in its eye sockets slowly went out.
Quiet.
It was quiet.
The zombies were still roaring and screaming, but at this moment the extraordinary knights fell into an eerie silence.
They all looked at the girl walking in front with incredible eyes, as if they were meeting their newly succeeded Countess for the first time.
The extraordinary knights from the Castel territory were not clear about Charlotte's strength.
They only knew that she was also a transcendent from the quasi-guard knights who were loyal to the girl in Castel Manor.
But those stingy guys did not reveal the specific strength to them.
After setting off, the powerful Castel team has not been attacked so far, so no one knows Charlotte's strength.
The knights simply relied on their first instinct and believed that the young Earl had merely awakened his bloodline power.
It was difficult for them to associate the beautiful, lovely, innocent and protective Earl with the powerful extraordinary person.
However, at this moment, the girl's fighting ability exceeded their expectations.
My Lord God, the Earl is actually an advanced one!
Moreover... he is a very powerful entry-level person!
Stars? Or a silver moon
With such powerful strength at such a young age, could it be that another Chiyang will appear in Castel's future
As if she sensed the knights' gazes, the girl turned slightly and looked back.
Seeing everyone's eyes focused on her, she smiled and said:
"What are you standing there for? Follow me to break through."
As she spoke, she put away her crossbow, which had no more bullets left, and threw the rusty sword behind her, nailing another zombie that was trying to launch a sneak attack to the tree.
The silver moonlight sprinkled on the girl's body, giving her a layer of mysterious glow.
The girl casually pulled out the rusty sword that nailed the corpse and shook off the blood on it again.
"Oh, right."
As if she remembered something, she placed her left index finger on her lips and smiled at the knight behind her. The corners of her mouth curved into a beautiful arc, and a faint flash of blood flashed in her eyes:
"My strength must be kept secret."
After saying that, she chuckled, turned around and continued to attack in the direction of the camp.
The extraordinary knights stared blankly at the petite figure of the girl, a hint of blush flashed in their eyes, and they all looked confused and obsessed.
It took them a while to react, and they quickly followed suit and rushed forward as well.
Looking at the figure that seemed delicate but wandered leisurely among the zombies like a Valkyrie, the Knight Captain couldn't help but mutter:
"Your Excellency the Earl... You are truly amazing!"
…
Night is the home turf of the vampires.
Charlotte, who had trained in Boulder for more than half a year, was now much stronger than before. These besieging undead were no match for her at all.
Compared to cleaning up these zombies, it might be more difficult to bring those extraordinary knights behind him whose strength has not yet reached the level back to the camp intact.
Of course, the group didn't go too far away from the camp, and with Charlotte paving the way, it didn't take them long to get back to the camp.
But the camp was also in chaos.
As soon as Charlotte walked out of the dense forest, she saw a holy light covering the top of the camp. It was Lottie and several trainee priests who were accompanying him performing the magic of purification and blessing.
Not only that, a silver light shot up into the sky and turned into a translucent cover, sheltering everyone inside.
Charlotte recognized it; it was Nice's contract magic.
And around the camp, countless zombies were attacking the fortifications temporarily created by the accompanying wizard using earth elemental magic.
Charlotte looked towards both ends of the road and could only see dense, dark green soul fires.
This is no ordinary undead.
This is obviously an undead army controlled by someone behind the scenes!
"My Lord Earl!"
Seeing Charlotte returning safely surrounded by the extraordinary knights, Baron Sharon, who led the team, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called on the knights to clear a path for everyone.
Charlotte returned to the camp and dropped the rusty sword that was stained with blood. The black cat Nice quickly pounced on her:
"Meow! Miss Charlotte, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, we would have gone out to rescue you!"
Charlotte grabbed its back flesh with disdain to stop it from flying, and then asked:
"How's the camp going?"
Nice Cat's face turned serious:
"Not good! There are too many undead besieging us! And many of them are advanced ones!"
"Although they can't attack the camp now, everyone will get tired eventually... Unless there is divine intervention, the stalemate will only become more and more dangerous."
When it mentions "God", it deliberately emphasizes the tone, which is obviously meaningful.
Charlotte glanced at it with a half-smile, and Ness coughed lightly and said:
"Miss Charlotte, I'm afraid we've been ambushed. So many undead are definitely being controlled by someone, and... if we weren't fully prepared, we wouldn't have ambushed so many undead!"
Charlotte was noncommittal.
She nodded slightly, looked around, and searched for another figure:
"Where's Sebastian?"
"Meow! I don't know! That guy disappeared as soon as the battle started!"
Black Cat Nice was outraged.
Charlotte gave it another dull look.
Being stared at by the girl's deep eyes, Nice shrank his tail slightly, and then said honestly:
"Meow... Maybe... Maybe he's going to look for the necromancer behind this?"
Charlotte then put it down.
She wondered whether she should call Sebastian back first through some mysterious connection, but suddenly her heart moved and she looked up into the air.
Sebastian, who was very agile, jumped lightly from the towering trees on both sides of the road and jumped directly in front of him.
"You're back? How's it going?"
Charlotte asked.
Sebastian paused with his gaze on the other knights and said seriously:
"Owner… "
Noticing his gaze, Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she ordered the other extraordinary knights to continue to assist in the battle, leaving only Sebastian, her and Nice and the cat.
"Tell me, how many undead are there and how strong are they?"
"A lot! Very many! I'm afraid there are more than five thousand! Maybe even more! Not only that... there are some Dead Servant outside!"
Sebastian said in a deep voice.
Charlotte raised an eyebrow.
The Servant of the Dead, his strength is that of the second level of Silver Moon.
However, in such a large-scale tide of the undead, there was no Dark Knight of the third level of Blazing Sun, which means that the manipulator behind the scenes should be just a Necromancer of the Silver Moon level, but there is likely to be more than one person.
"Have you found the location of the wizard behind the scenes?"
Charlotte asked.
Sebastian's expression looked a little unhappy:
"No, the other party... seems to be very good at hiding his aura."
Charlotte nodded in understanding, as if she had expected this:
"That's normal. After all... the night is the home turf of the vampires."
"Bloodlines?"
Sebastian's eyelids twitched, and his expression suddenly looked a little strange.
"Yes, vampire."
"I smelled some similar smells from the dirty blood of those zombies..."
Charlotte said, narrowing her eyes.
