"Enemy Attack! Enemy Attack! Enemy Attack!"
At the top of the ruling hall, the Vekia marksmen shouted.
They quickly guarded their surroundings, held longbows, drew out the cone-headed arrows equipped in the quiver, and looked at the surrounding situation with stern faces, but more people still bent their bows and set their arrows, and looked at the north of the castle very solemnly.
Just at the top of the rolling sand dunes on the north side, a spread of black spots was running wild.
city wall.
The senior Swadian crossbowman quickly came to his position.
Including the newly recruited Vikia archers, they stepped up to the towering arrow towers to take their positions.
The city gates on the southeast sides and the gates of the urn city were also half-closed. As many civilians and construction teams retreated back to the interior of the castle, these sturdy gates made of fine iron and high-quality wood were also closed heavily.
And on the outer urn city and the inner city wall, many civilians have gathered.
If the situation is urgent.
The bell tower inside the castle will ring the armed bells.
These civilians, regardless of gender, will be transformed into Swadian militiamen, wearing iron leather armor, holding hunting crossbows, carrying wooden broad shields and spears, and hanging quiver and mace around their waists, fully armed !
The current population of "Drehem" Castle is close to 3,000, which means 3,000 militiamen!
Although not very useful.
But in the battle of defending the city, which occupies a favorable location, it can be alone!
At least on the city wall, there are still heavy bricks, including thick logs. These are the stones and wood used to defend the city, and even the most elite level 5 fighters can be reimbursed directly if they are thrown down.
As long as the defending troops work together, they can fight against tens of thousands of troops.
"It's not an enemy attack!"
Bandak also quickly returned to the top of the Consulate.
Having mastered the power of the underworld, he was extremely fast. After running with all his strength, he reached the top floor from the bottom floor in less than ten seconds, his eyes flashed red, like the eyes of a devil, but his voice was extremely dignified: "It's our heavy cavalry! "
"Heavy cavalry?"
There was a bit of consternation in Kant's eyes.
Turning his head to look to the north, his eyes full of seriousness shrank instantly.
In the middle of the continuous sand dunes, more than 300 heavily armed heavy cavalry with men and horses are getting closer and closer. Although they are scattered, they are extremely orderly, but even so, it can still be seen that they are retreating in fear.
"It's our comrades in arms! They are being hunted down!"
There were exclamations from the city wall, especially the crossbowmen, who roared angrily.
Including Kant's side.
Even the royal knights were slightly disturbed, gritted their teeth in righteous indignation and snorted coldly.
Because there are more than 300 heavy cavalry under there...
It is the Swadian heavy cavalry!
"what happened."
Kant frowned, because these Swadian heavy cavalry were the heavy cavalry troops he sent to the salt mine station to guard the slaves and stationed at the same time to prevent the undead.
At the same time, he also received information from the desert bandits, saying that the 500 heavy cavalry troops had fallen near the salt mine station.
Perhaps it is possible to be surrounded and wiped out by the death knights and skeleton cavalry of the undead.
"Indeed they are."
Kant spoke slowly, affirming the identities of the approaching cavalry.
As the cavalry got closer and closer, the linen shirt on the chest and the kite-shaped shield on the left arm had a very obvious pattern of a golden lion on a red background. They were indeed the Swadian heavy cavalry they had sent in the past.
It's just that there were originally 500 people, but now there are only more than 300 people left. It can be seen how heavy the casualties were when breaking through in the middle!
"wrong!"
However, Vikia Marksman did not let down his vigilance, and looked at the north side more cautiously.
Especially at the small door connecting the high-level watchtower and the top floor of the governing hall, another agile Vekia archer rushed out, pointing at the sand dunes in the distance and reporting loudly to Kang Dehui: "There are still chasers behind our heavy cavalry!" According to the observation of the watchmen, the number of enemies is 2000+, all of them are cavalry!"
"Send the order and prepare for battle!"
Kant did not hesitate at all.
He waved his hand directly, and gave an order to Bandak next to him: "Bundak, lead the Royal Knights and Swadian Knights to form a response force, and lead the retreating heavy cavalry into the castle quickly."
"Yes!" Bandak complied, and the royal knights turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait." But Kant paused.
After hesitating for a moment, he continued: "Let all these cavalry enter the Urn City and wait. After the review is completed, and after confirming that there is no abnormality, enter the castle."
"I understand." Bundak nodded.
"It came so soon."
Kant exhaled lightly.
Staring at the sand dunes in the distance to the north, a mass of black cavalry troops had already appeared there, scattered even more, holding swords and shields, wearing black armor, and many of them were pale.
The magic of the undead tribe revived the corpses of cavalrymen who had been dead for countless years, and transformed them into cavalrymen again.
Death knight.
And... Skeleton Troopers!
Even though it is far away, Kant's extraordinary power can be magnified several times when applied to the two eyes.
He could clearly see that the seemingly black armor was actually black rust due to the precipitation of time, the pale white was the skeleton of the skeleton, and the swords, guns and shields in his hands were even more tattered.
But the ghostly blue soul fire unique to the undead race flickered in the hollow eye sockets of the tattered helmet.
Including the skeleton horse under the crotch, which is also a skeleton, wearing a tattered burqa.
The faint blue soul fire flickered.
It even added a bit of bone-chilling chill, a chill from the depths of the soul, from the living to the dead!
However, those undead cavalry did not go deep into the pursuit, they just stopped advancing at the outermost sand dunes, and they were paved in a dense mass, with weapons in their hands, and the faint blue soul fire in their eyes flickered, standing still, as if wait.
And the more than 300 Swadian heavy cavalry, also returned to the sentry oasis under the support of the royal knights and knights, directly entered the basically completed urn city, took off their helmets one by one panting, His face was flushed, his head was covered with cold sweat, and there was a look of joy on his face.
Obviously they came back and finally breathed a sigh of relief in the tension of being hunted down.
A faint golden light enveloped them.
Right above the head, the huge sun disk slowly emitted golden light, which drizzled over the land of the sentinel oasis like drizzle, and at the same time formed a faint array of patterns in the void, covering the surrounding area of 10 hectares.
Those undead cavalry are just outside the area shrouded in golden light.
It seems that's why.
Exuding strong negative energy, the death knights and skeleton cavalry with an evil aura did not continue to hunt down the Swadian heavy cavalry who had already retreated.
The area covered by the sun disk containing positive energy is indeed a forbidden area that these undead creatures cannot set foot in!
