The Amber Sword

Chapter 853: Act 14: The Hillman's (II)

(Once again, Ten Thousand Words Renews Moon Tickets for Little Black's New Book "Disaster Comes".

“What's Madara's commander up to?” Valerie, the Cavalier of the First Cavalry Battalion, is indeed thinking the same way, and she looks up and the magical glow shines across the battlefield, and the Skull Battalion is making a strange move. The army was turning slowly, but so slowly, delaying as if it were a dying old man, it was almost impossible to redirect and attack them head-on before the cavalry sharp arrows arrived, Madara's left wing was still exposed to the direct threat of two cavalry regiments of the Eruin, and she could even tell that even if their attacks passed between them, they would not turn around to surround them.

This is a great opportunity.

But Valerie sees that the Skull Army is dispersing, as if deliberately giving her a passage. If this happens to the human army, then, as described in the Cavalry Academy, the other side must have collapsed, and all that remains is to drive them forward like ducks. But the female knight raised a strong vigilance in her heart, because there was an army of dead spirits in front of her, and the dead could not have broken morale unless there was something wrong with the corpse witches driving the skeletons away behind her.

Is someone behind this Madara army? She had just flashed this lucky thought in her heart, but the sudden appearance of something in her field of vision immediately drowned her heart.

Behind the unfolding threshold, she suddenly appeared some tall figure, not a clumsy corpse monster and crusader, nor a black knight with a fire of soul under his armor. That was some strange rider, such as a skull riding on the back of a horse, covered with a dark locking armor, with a long gun, the horse underneath was also skinny and wrapped around a broken vest, such riders first appeared, but as the threshold grew, their numbers gradually became scarier.

Valerie opened her eyes in amazement and saw a whole cavalry behind those dense, numb skull archers, which was definitely not a black knight, because there couldn't be so many, those skull riders, one next to the other, almost a full mile across the front, dark and sunken, like a city wall. “Slow down, turn around!” Valerie seemed to have been stabbed in the heart by a spike, and suddenly she understood what it was, the Skeleton Knight, and the Maddala side had emerged as a recruit they had never seen before.

Suddenly a sharp whistle sounded on the other side of the battlefield, Valerie glanced over there, knowing that Vance also saw those strange riders, and they reacted quickly, not knowing the geometry of the other party's power, but one thing was for sure, that was that they were more and more than themselves. It would be a disaster for the White Wing Cavalry Corps if the speed of those skeleton riders could keep up with them, even if the fighting power was extremely weak.

Because they are sharp, but equally fragile, and once dragged down, waiting for tens of thousands of skeleton armies to surround them, there will be only one left.

And that's defeat, and then it's converted into the kind of monsters.

And after the Goran-Elson Passage lost their cavalry, from the Hillman Valley to Kurk, there was no more defensive power, which was tantamount to saying that the entire Goran-Elson had opened the door to Madara Cave, and Valerie was sweating so cold that she could hardly imagine what that would be like. That was almost a reprint of the Black Rose War, perhaps even worse, because the Southern Legion was still in Ambesseur, and if Goran-Elson failed, the whole South would be left with Karasou.

The White Wing Cavalry was obviously aware of their situation, as the skilled riders turned one after the other, and the two cavalry turned extremely fast on the battlefield, but in Valerie's view it was a bit of a rush to slow down, and she saw the skeleton riders running small and beginning to accelerate, and the whole army neatly lined up like a giant machine. At this time, the female cavalier finally realized the horror of the cavalry, and then she thought of another bad news, which was that the cavalry, like the Black Knight, might not have the patience of a horse.

Her heart was freezing.

And at this point, we can only hope for Lieutenant Walter's command. She was very disturbed, however, by the fact that the commander had not yet given the order to withdraw, that he intended to bury the entire white wing cavalry here merely to prove how terrible the Madara army was. Valerie turned back anxiously, looking at some hill to the north, hoping to wait for that expected signal, but unfortunately, the north was silent.

A tsunami suddenly swept over the entire battlefield, everyone couldn't help but lift their heads and a strange flying creature was overhead in view.

……

The town has been caught in a flame of fire, looking up at the blue flames burning with bears everywhere, apart from the white wing cavalry regiment that has been destroyed in the street or the temporary line of defense of the guards, all over the body, wearing militia uniforms, white wing cavalry uniforms, or guard uniforms like his, but the only thing in common is that the blood is all over them, and they have lost their breath. Ivan's eyes slowly crossed these areas just for a few moments, while other members of a small squad of guards were following him, and he just learned that their instructor had died in the hands of the monster who first flew to the church spire —— and knew the name of that thing: Fear. But there is even worse news that the First Cavalry Battalion of Butch is said to have been completely dispersed in alley warfare and that Commander Portland was killed. Now the First Cavalry Battalion is dead, and the rest of us, like the rest of them, have little will to fight, and the only thought left is to live.

It was like a moment ago, they were so bloodthirsty that they wanted to fight for Eru, but the ideals were beautiful, but the reality was so cruel that it was unacceptable that almost immediately they taught each of them a cold lesson.

The only thing that made Ivan feel somewhat comfortable was that Lonnie's carriage had left town before the fighting began and that the White Wing Cavalry was said to be fighting outside the town, so she and the rest of the family should be able to safely reach Sven Fano. But what happens after that, he doesn't even know himself, Madara has so many bone skeletons, the town is almost full of monsters, now the teenagers are very doubtful that they can keep it.

Walking like a fleeing beggar along a town that had become unfamiliar, he was stopped even though he had not gone far. Heavy fighting is taking place on the only street that leads out of town, and Ivan quickly distinguishes between Madala's bone skeleton and the town's militia, which is basically a collapsed massacre, and by the time they arrive, there will be no one alive on the scene. The corpse witch was waking up those fresh bodies, and the moment before they were warriors fighting for Eru, the next they were swaying with blood and pulling their swords at them.

“It's Laura and them, they're all dead.” A guard looked a little ugly, he said.

Ivan's face also changed. These militiamen were all townspeople who looked down on a weekday and didn't see each other, but now they're something else. He couldn't help but look at the sneaky corpse witch on the street and bite his teeth.

“Bad luck, there's a dead witch!” Lieutenant Ma Dong took a sip and pulled out the sword: “We need to find a way to get rid of it before we can move on. You guys need to find a way to attract the attention of those monsters. I'm going to cut the guy. The power of the corpse witch is on his cane. As long as I cut off his arm unintentionally, it should be a good fight. ”

Ivan looked at him and felt less optimistic. “Be careful.” Watch out, "he warned," there used to be at least three or four small groups of militiamen, the only way out of town, who were responsible for the breakdown. ”

“So what? ”

“The instructor told us that a corpse witch can lead ten to twelve skulls that can't kill so many people. ”

“That's not necessarily true,” Marton shook his head: "These militias have little fighting power under the circumstances, they're no better than us, they're not professional soldiers. ”

Ivan couldn't hear him, so he had to shut up. He turned around and made a gesture to the others indicating that they were attacking with him in order to attract the fighting power of the corpse witch. The two sides are no more than 50 meters apart, he is not too worried about positive fighting, because they are more numerous, the corpse witch only summoned two or three corpses in a short time, Marton is right, the militia force in this situation is several discounts, sometimes they can even be killed by several skeletons, because already scared of the guts. But the skull archers hidden in the burning building caused them tremendous trouble. Nearly half of their casualties occurred on these two skull archers. Good thing the battle didn't go too smoothly, but at least one of the dead witch's men fell on them. At this time, Marton finally seized the opportunity, and he passed quietly through the shadow under the other building, and God unwittingly approached the dead witch. However, when he was about to draw his sword for the final blow, a mutation occurred.

“Marton, watch your head!” Evan suddenly shouted that he had been so uncomfortable with Marton's plan that he kept an eye on that direction, and a shadow suddenly descended from the sky as he saw Marton preparing to strike.

This scene is so familiar, that their instructor died.

Marton reacted at the last minute, but the deputy captain of the guard had no time to do anything. A loud noise had fallen from the sky and countless tiles had fallen on him. As soon as he grabbed his shoulder, his sharp claws pierced directly between his collarbone and shoulder armor, lifting him from the ground. Marton made a painful scream, at this time other people saw the monster's appearance - it looked a bit like a shrunken bone dragon, the body that made it up was only boneless and had no outer skin, two groups of soul fires burning in the orbits of a large head, like two light columns ejected, it had sharp teeth, the only difference from a bone dragon was that it had a clear and sharp beak at the front end of its mouth, "Fear!” Someone screamed and recognized the monster's identity, but the phrase did not save Marton, feared the ghost head to the next peck, bit the deputy captain's head to pieces, he twitched and the whole person was paralyzed like a leaking ball.

Fear pecked Marton to death, immediately threw the body away, then looked up at the others and made a terrible tsunami at them. Ivan only felt cold for a moment and seemed blank in his head, but the others around him were obviously quicker. A member of the guard squealed and turned around and ran, but he had not made a few steps, and a green light hit his back, causing the whole person to swell and explode into a bloody mist.

This scene woke everyone up and there was a corpse witch present.

And it, too, is not insignificant.

Ivan watched the monster lift his skeleton cane to himself, and he wanted to hide, but could not move one step away.

“Ronnie...! ”

……

Chaneli closed Rosa's eyes silently. At the last moment of her life, the knight's eyes looked straight at the sky, empty and empty. The corpse witch opened a big hole in her chest, where she could no longer see what it was, leaving only a flesh and blood blur. He didn't say a word, took off his uniform to cover her, they had known each other for a long time, went through the Black Rose War together, even participated in several major wars, they were among the leading veterans of the cavalry regiment, so they also held the rank of sergeant, thought it was just a small border conflict, but didn't expect to live and die here.

Though such a separation had been experienced by him much in the past year, there was still some discontent in his heart at the moment.

There are new types of troops in the skeleton opposite, such as fear, that have previously appeared only on the battlefield of Karasu, and why they suddenly arrived in the Dark Lord's Army south of Butchi. The number of corpse witches is also rare. If you hadn't misjudged the corpse witch and the ghost behind it, Rosa wouldn't have died. Chenery was just trying to yell at you right now. What the hell are those bloody scolds doing?

He looked at Rosa's face, carefully detailing it for a while, then slowly crossed the street, full of crippled bodies and some well preserved, but with one or two arrows in his body. But suddenly he stopped and saw a familiar face in the pile of bodies, one of the young couples he'd seen before, "Poor thing.” He thinks, but he walks past, “which is kind of fateful, at least letting you die decently.” He thought so, trying to drag each other's bodies from the ruins.

But he just grabbed the other hand, and he jumped —— there was temperature, there was pulse. “This guy's not dead yet.” He suddenly reacted and hurried to pull the teenager down and patted him in the face.

When Ivan woke up, the first thing he saw was Chanali's bloody face, and he remembered that he had actually seen this man, standing in front of the city hall, with a female knight, with an arrogant face. “I didn't expect you to die...” he answered confused. “Fuck you, you idiot!” Chenery slapped it, "get the fuck out of my face, lucky you, you want to see your little girlfriend, cheer me up. ”

“I'm not dead?” Ivan seemed like a spiritual awakener: “Really?” The tears just kept pouring down.

Chenery looked at the lame kid lying there with tears and couldn't stop wanting to kick over, but hesitated and sighed, just looking back at Rosa. “Well, the man's husband took a breather,” he stretched out his hand and pulled each other up: “Now that there's no one alive in town, you know the way, take us out of this shithole. ”

Ivan glanced at him and nodded quickly.

……

Valerie understands that the White Wings Cavalry is all over. But she never understood why the Deputy Commander had not reacted at all until the end, unless he had already fled, which was almost impossible. She watched as the skeleton rider stabbed the long gun in her hand into her chest. Her whole body seemed to have lost its strength. She raised her head painstakingly and glanced around. The skeleton rider's body stacked stacked next to her.

But unfortunately, it makes no sense, "I'm going to be one of them.” She thought.

Vance is dead, Valerie is dead, and the remaining white wing cavalry is falling apart, but countless fears are stifling their hopes of escape in the sky, forming such a terrible scroll of paintings throughout the battlefield at this moment, the light of the soul fire that roams the mountains all over the points of the wild stars is advancing, and the Skull Army is driving away the remaining humans, but they will eventually be chased, because neither the horses nor the humans can ever be rivals of the dead in a race for endurance.

Ivan looked at the scene.

He thought the town havoc was just part of the war. But now it seems that there are no more wars, and all that remains is massacres. Chenery was similarly gloomy and the White Wing Cavalry was finished, which he knew better than Ivan, but he didn't understand why the battle was like this, and at least the 2nd and 3rd Battalions should be able to escape, did they? Even in the worst case scenario, after leaving the third or second cavalry battalion behind, at least one cavalry battalion could escape, but now that it's all over, he can almost imagine that the rest is the Goran-Elson Passage in Pingchuan, in front of Madara's army, and the southern realm is all over.

And it's not necessarily the two of them who can escape from the dead spirits all over the mountain.

“We… what do we do?” Ivan looked at the knight and couldn't help but whisper. The horse he sat on was still Rosa's, he was not used to riding, but he had to get used to the situation at the moment. Luckily, the guard had learned equestrian skills, otherwise he would now have to be tied to a horse.

“Go east.” The hills to the east are our only chance, and there are bandits there, hopefully they will take us in, "replied Chanali in a gloomy manner. ”

Bandit bandit.

Ivan looked in that direction unconsciously, remembering that there was indeed such a group of people, but they were the main trouble for the militia and the patrol cavalry and had little to do with the guards. “Looks like they're from Tosancado, some real dead people. Will they take us in?” He couldn't help but ask. “Bandits or dead spirits, choose one.” “Bandits.” The teenager replied without hesitation.
