The city gate slowly opened. The cavalry who had successfully attacked returned in triumph. Several magicians accompanying them could not hide the joy in their eyes. The raid this morning allowed the cavalry to destroy dozens of siege equipment. The magicians even used flames to destroy the city. The spell directly turned a building camp of the undead army into a sea of flames. While accepting flowers and compliments from the citizens, the guards on the city wall also looked excitedly at the black smoke rising from the undead army's camp in the distance.
The adjutant in the command room took the battle report and reported loudly: "Your Excellency, the raid was very successful. Only four of our cavalry were slightly injured, and no one was killed."
The general in charge of the city defense nodded and took the report and read it carefully. For a moment, in addition to satisfaction, the general's eyes also had a solemn look. According to the cavalry report that returned, although the raid was a success, the people outside the city The undead have unexpected fighting abilities. These undead are not as stiff and slow as the low-level undead in the past. During the fight, several cavalry found that these skeletons and zombies moved very quickly. The most surprising thing is that many undead still retain their They have some fighting methods in life and know swordsmanship and spearmanship. Fortunately, the cavalry are equipped with strong armor, so the tattered weapons in the hands of the undead cannot pose a direct threat. However, if the group fights on a large scale, these undead with strong combat power may Unimaginable destructive power erupted. The general put down the report in his hand. He was not a magician and did not understand necromancy. According to some wizards who assisted in defending the city, the low-level undead were probably mindless puppets who could only mechanically slash with their swords. People rely on the control of necromancers to move. These low-level undead should not know any martial arts or tactics, but the description in the report is completely the opposite.
Putting down the report, the general signaled that the attacking cavalry should have a good meal as a reward for the successful raid. Then the general once again asked the accompanying mage to use spells to continue to monitor the whereabouts of the undead outside the city. In the screen of monitoring the spell, the undead outside the city were more and more. The entire city has been semi-surrounded, but fortunately there are enough food reserves in the city to support the siege for ten days and a half. At the same time, the water source is thanks to these brainless skeletons. They don't seem to know how to cut off the southeast side of the city. of canals. But in fact, it doesn't matter. Reinforcements will arrive in a day and a half anyway. And there is good news that the leading force of the reinforcements, led by Lord Ganelon, the famous sea blue knight in the Kingdom of Ballayka, will arrive at noon today.
With the well-equipped knights of 700 people and Lord Ganelon's powerful combat power, it is not difficult to resist the undead until all the reinforcements arrive. Let’s do this for now!
The general signaled to stop the spell, and rubbed his eyes, which were a little sleepy due to not sleeping in the past few days: "I will take a nap for now. If there is an emergency, wake me up immediately."
"Okay, Your Excellency!" The adjutant saluted with a military salute.
At the water intake point of the city of Granada, a huge pool was built here to store city water. A branch was dug out of the river outside and a water gate was built to control the amount of water flowing into the city. On weekdays, many citizens come here to collect water, but today there are many soldiers and security teams responsible for maintaining order at the water collection point. Because after the city was besieged by the undead, there were rumors that the undead were going to cut off the water source. As a result, many citizens who did not know the truth came to collect large amounts of water for storage, causing serious chaos at the water intake points. After being informed of the situation, city officials immediately began to refute the rumors and arrested those who maliciously spread the rumors and severely punished them.
Of course, officials still take the rumor that the undead are cutting off the water source very seriously. For this reason, scouts are dispatched to lurk in the rivers outside the city to monitor the actions of the undead army. If it is discovered that the undead are cutting off the water source or poisoning the water, The city can also take appropriate measures immediately. Fortunately, according to the reports from the scouts in the past few days, the undead besieging the city seem to have no intention of cutting off the water source. Not even a single undead has come near the river bank. The water source in the city can basically be guaranteed.
At noon, when the smoke rose, the advance knights from the capital arrived on time. The arrival of the Knights has boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians defending the city. From the initial panic to the gradual calm, almost no one of the citizens now pays attention to the undead outside the city. Even if the undead immediately launch an offensive after the knights arrive, their side only needs to resist for one day to usher in the main force of the royal capital's army. With the number of soldiers and militia in the city plus the fortifications and advance knights, no one would think that the undead can attack in one day. Capture the city within a few seconds.
"Welcome Lord Ganelon!"
The leader of the Knights, Ganelon, the strongest man in the Kingdom of Balleka, took off his helmet and shook hands with the general who defended the city: "It seems that those skeletons have not launched an offensive yet."
"Haha~ Although these undead did not launch an offensive, we did raid them once." The general also said with a smile on his face. The arrival of the knights almost sealed the situation.
Accompanied by the general, the sea blue knight Ganelon climbed up the city wall and looked at the undead army camp in the distance. The actions of these undead made people feel a little suspicious. Originally, Ganelon received an emergency order and learned that the city of Granada was occupied by an army. When the undead army suddenly appeared and surrounded him. As the vanguard, Gaganilon led the knights to rush over in a hurry. They originally thought that upon arrival they would start a fierce battle with the undead attacking the city. It turned out that those skeletons had been digging holes and building siege equipment outside the city for more than two days. The Knights even entered the city without any hindrance, and just in time for lunch.
I have to say that this is really a strange thing that people don’t know how to describe! After all, these skeletons outside the city are here to fight. Or come here to scare people and then go back to where you came from!
Looking at this weird confrontation, Ganelon, who had fought on many battlefields, couldn't figure out what the undead army wanted to do: "Let's do this for the time being. If they don't attack the city, they will wait until the main force of the army arrives. Let’s fight against these undead.”
Having said that, Ganelon still asked the general to strengthen the security of the city. This situation is too weird. If it is not that the operator of the undead army is a layman who knows nothing about military affairs, then the operator behind the undead must have some evil intentions. plan. It is always good to strengthen the city's security no matter what. Anyway, reinforcements will arrive in a little more than a day, and then the situation on the battlefield will be interchanged.
In the evening, Ganelon still had a pleasant dinner with various garrison officers and generals in the city. The members of Ganelon's knights also had a delicious meal. After all, the entire knights were on the way here during the rapid march. I was munching on dry food and dried meat all the way. It is not easy to have some free time now. A delicious hot meal is naturally a good way to boost morale.
Outside the city, there was still no movement from the undead army until dusk. They were just increasing their troops and building various equipment as usual.
Ganelon stood on the high tower and looked at the torrent-like blue ocean in the distance. Although the number seemed huge, the army of low-level undead could tear apart a large area in it in just one round under the charge of the knights. The only regret about the gap is that the ordinary human army may have collapsed in the face of this kind of offensive, but the emotionless undead may close the gap to surround the knights who broke into it.
Ganelon stroked his beard and thought about these issues. The opponent in front of him was not a flesh-and-blood human being. There were many things that needed to be taken into consideration when facing an inhuman monster.
"Hmm~ Why do I always feel a little sleepy." Suddenly a feeling of tiredness came to his heart, and Ganelon patted his forehead to regain his energy.
Seeing that the undead didn't seem to be planning to launch an offensive tonight, Ganelon, who was getting more and more tired, turned and returned to the castle. The Sea Blue Knight didn't take off his armor and just lay down on the sofa to rest. The knight who rushed here The members of the regiment are also resting. Anyway, the main force of the army will arrive after tonight and tomorrow around noon. At that time, they can join the army to surround these undead and rebury these dead people who have desecrated the realm of the living in one fell swoop.
Feeling that his head was getting more and more dizzy, Ganelon gradually fell asleep after ordering the waiter┉┉
In the middle of the night, Ganelon was sleeping with sweat breaking out on his forehead. The Aquamarine Knight whimpered and his limbs began to twitch abnormally. Until a sharp scream sounded, Ganelon, who was trapped in the nightmare, suddenly woke up!
The moment he woke up, Ganilon suddenly found that his whole body was extremely heavy, as if he was exhausted and could not exert any strength. As the Aquamarine Knight, Ganelon instantly realized that he might have been poisoned.
"Guard! Come quickly!" Ganelon gritted his teeth and supported his body to stand up. After subconsciously pulling out his sword, Ganelon shouted loudly.
The guards outside the door seemed to have disappeared and no one answered. Suddenly, Ganelon felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He hurriedly opened the door and introduced Ganelon. What he saw in front of him was a terrible scene. The guards in the castle lay unrecognizable in a pool of blood. There were several soldiers wearing armor lying on the body of the bodyguard. At this moment, these soldiers were biting the body of the bodyguard with blood in their mouths.
As the soldiers tore off pieces of bloody flesh and swallowed them into their mouths, Ganelon, who had developed excellent combat awareness on the battlefield, quickly swung his sword and chopped off the head of one of the soldiers, while the other soldier seemed to notice With the appearance of Ganelon, the soldiers who stood up slowly were like ghouls who had smelled the breath of the living, and rushed over with their bloody mouths wide open!
"Bastard!" In anger, Ganelon swung his sword fiercely, and the soldier was split in half from head to tail, including his helmet, in an instant.
After a full blow, the strange feeling of weakness swept through his body again. Ganelon supported his body and walked to the window to see what happened. When the Aquamarine Knight looked out of the window, the scenes on the street were like the most terrifying nightmare. The scene was imprinted in Ganelon's eyes.
