Alien Knights

In the southern defense line of Muxi City, the gaps in the dilapidated city walls were filled with sandbags and sundries found temporarily.

Team after team of crusaders half-knelt on the square behind the city wall, facing the totem engraved with a black dragon statue erected in the center of the square, doing their last prayer before the battle.

The shaman held a scepter made of alder in one hand, and touched the heads of each crusader one by one with the other hand, praying in a low voice: "May the dragon god protect your soul."

The crusader commander Ackerman climbed up to the flagpole of the tallest tower with a bow and arrow on his back. Facing the black ocean-like corpses in the distance, his pupils were red under the bloody sky.

As the prayer ended, the crusaders stood up one after another.

Ackerman lowered his head and looked at the crusaders lined up neatly in the square.

With a smile still on the corner of his mouth, Ackerman took down the bow and arrow from behind, raised his head and shouted loudly: "Dragon God above, for my king!"

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the figure on the top of the tower, and deafening shouts resounded through the sky.

"Dragon God above, for my king!"

Ackerman rolled over and jumped off the tower, landing on the ground with one knee touching the ground.

The snake girl sisters walked behind him, without too many words, only firm eyes.

Ackerman looked at the second daughter and said softly, "It's time."

Snake girl Palli smiled and said, "We will be by your side."

The snake girl Parni nodded vigorously: "Forever."

Ackerman put the two girls in his arms, kissed them, and said, "May the Dragon God protect us."

"The enemy has entered the shelling circle!"

As soon as the crusader's herald's voice fell, the Thundering Beast at the back of the square roared and fired the first batch of spore shells in the direction of the battlefield with a parasite coil cannon.

Dozens of spore shells drew fiery trajectories in the sky, illuminating the darkness in the sky and also illuminating the undead on the ground.

Accompanied by huge explosions, the violent bombardment overturned the entire land, leaving a "scar" with flames and scorched black in the middle of the ocean of corpses in the distance.

"The second round of shelling, all the staff entered the anti-shock cover!"

The Thundering Beast shelled the group of corpses again, this time the shells landed closer to the line of defense, so the impact was even stronger.

Leaning against the back of the city wall, Ackerman lowered his head. After the violent explosion, a burst of strong wind pressure passed through the defense line in an instant. For a while, dust was everywhere and debris was flying in the sky.

A few seconds later, waiting for the shock to subside a bit, Ackerman poked his head out to check, and the group of undead corpses had already rushed to a place less than two kilometers away from the defense line.

A long horn sounded from the tower, and the voice of the herald sounded again: "The enemy has entered the firing circle!"

Ackerman stood up and shouted loudly to the crusaders beside him: "Everyone enters the shooting position and shoots flat to cover! Scouts go up the tower and search for alien dead spirits! Snipers are in position, support at any time!"

After giving these orders, Ackerman stood up, opened his bow and set his arrows, narrowed his eyes slightly, and flames suddenly burst out from the arrows.

A bowstring exploded, and the arrow, with blue flames, shot straight into a Necromancer wolf running in the front, like a bullet.

The flame burst in an instant, burning the undead wolf to ashes.

Under the cover of the orcs, the elves gathered supernatural power between their hands. Fireballs, ice spears, and lightning hit the army of corpses like a torrential rain.

A crusader scout who climbed up the tower used his eagle eyes and clairvoyant abilities to observe the entire battlefield. After spotting a heterogeneous undead, he quickly shouted: "Direction 10.5, distance 1200 meters, weakened alien undead!"

Holding a small Tesla coil gun, the crusader sniper half-kneeled on the platform above the tower, and used his field of vision to zoom in and lock on the alien undead.

Pull the trigger, and a solid bullet made of steel is fired out of the gun chamber at a speed invisible to the naked eye under the urging of huge electric energy.

The alien undead hidden among the corpses was shot in the head, and the whole head exploded like a watermelon.

The coverage shot lasted a minute or so.

Soon, the second horn sounded, and the voice of the herald sounded again: "The enemy has entered the bombing ring!"

Ackerman, who couldn't remember how many arrows he shot, heard the voice of the herald, and immediately shouted: "Bombardiers come up! The heavy infantry is in position! The archer retreats and enters the support position!"

Batch after batch of dwarves holding Molotov cocktails and gunpowder bombs, as well as rat men carrying ammunition boxes, ran out of the crusader formation.

They stuck close to the city wall, pinpointed the position of the corpses a hundred meters away, and threw the bombs in their hands with all their might.

Molotov cocktails and flame bombs fell like raindrops in front of the position outside the city wall, instantly killing most of the approaching corpse group forwards.

The Ratmen opened the ammunition box and handed bombs one after another to the dwarf in charge of dropping them.

Under the continuous attack of bombing, the charge of the undead army was contained within a hundred meters from the position.

The burned and blasted undead piled up to form small "mounds" one after another.

Ackerman kept shooting arrows at the enemy while calculating the consumption of ammunition.

A moment later, Ackerman took out an arrow with a special logo from the quiver and shot it towards the sky.

The arrow rubbed against the air, instantly turning into a mass of bright fireworks, which could be seen clearly even several kilometers away.

And at this moment, the third horn sounded from the towers of the city wall, and the drums of war sounded like thunder.

Amidst the sound of drums, Ackerman stood up, climbed to the observation tower of the city wall, and shouted to the crusaders behind him: "Heavy infantry step forward! Prepare for battle!"

The heavily armed orcs and tauren raised the tower shield, walked up to the city wall with heavy steps, and stuck the hook at the bottom of the shield firmly into the hole in the city wall.

Ackerman half-kneeled behind the tower shield. Through the observation hole between the shields, he watched the army of undead approaching under the city wall. He took a deep breath and shouted: "Dragon God above! For my king!"

"Dragon God above! For my king!"

Amidst the shouts resounding through the front line, the undead finally rushed to the city wall and started a close combat with the crusaders.

Looking down from the sky, the "black sea" composed of dead spirits set off a raging tsunami, hit the white city wall and embankment, and was firmly blocked outside.

A dead spirit bear whose whole body was scorched and bruised hit the tower shield, causing the shield to make a creaking sound.

Ackerman picked up the spear beside him, and stabbed hard at the Necro Bear's abdomen.

Unexpectedly, the Necromancer ignored the spear's damage and broke the spear with a slap.

At this moment, a long sword pierced directly into the mouth of the Necromancer Bear, and pierced out from the back of its head.

Ackerman looked back, and Randall, who was wearing keel armor, retracted his long sword and nodded towards himself.

Carroll, carrying a huge axe, chopped off the head of a dead spirit climbing up the tower shield, and shouted to Ackerman: "Be careful of that guy with thorns all over his body!"

Ackerman asked puzzledly: "The guy with the thorns?"

Aldenan, holding a crossbow, squatted beside Ackerman, pointed to a blue-gray figure on the battlefield and said, "Did you see that thing?"

Ackerman looked intently, it was a monster with a human head but the limbs of a beast.

It has no hair all over its body, but it has dense white spikes, which looks like an agile hedgehog.

The undead crawled to the front of the shield wall, squatted down and straightened its back, a bone spur shot through the tower shield like a shell, and inserted into the shoulder of the orc behind the shield.

Ackerman was shocked, and quickly drew his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at the bone spur undead.

He didn't expect the opponent to move so swiftly, jumping into the air, narrowly dodging the arrow.

Exhaling lightly, Ackerman drew his bow again, aimed at the bone spur undead, and shot three consecutive arrows at once.

The bone spur necromancer dodged the first arrow, but it was unable to dodge in mid-air, and was directly nailed to the ground by the next two arrows.

Aldernan clapped his hands: "Good archery!"

Ackerman looked at the bone spur undead motionless on the ground, secretly relieved, turned his head and began to focus all his attention on hunting these high-level undead.

This melee defensive battle lasted for a full forty minutes.

When the last undead fell in front of the shield wall, Ackerman looked at the empty quiver everywhere at his feet, and sat on the ground tired, sweating like a prostration.

Carol looked at his shapeless tomahawk that had been curled, wiped the blood off his face, and let out a long breath.

Ardenan climbed to the top of the tower, looked at the remains of dead spirits scattered in every corner of the battlefield, and while stroking the knotted hair on his chin, he said to himself, "Have 400,000 been wiped out? No, at least 500,000..."

Randall, who was sitting on the ground leaning against the city wall, was wiping the blood stains on the sword, when he suddenly heard the faint sound of an explosion in the east.

Is the war on the Eastern Front not over yet?

With such worries, Randall was about to stand up when he suddenly heard the sound of the horn sounding again from the tower.

what happened? !

Randall and Ackerman looked at each other.

Aldernan, who was standing on the top of the tower and was counting the battlefield, was suddenly frightened by the scene in the distance and fell down.

I heard him say loudly: "They're here again! They're everywhere!"

Ackerman quickly turned over and climbed up the tower, looked into the distance, and opened his eyes.

On the far southern plain, more undead are marching towards Muxi City.

There are so many of them, covering the sky and covering the sky, they can't be seen at a glance, and the scale is far several times that of the previous attack.
