Chapter 207: Divine Soldiers Descend From the Sky

For decades, the walls of Shatai have never been so noisy.

The bat-like corpses flew over the walls full of conscripts, and the screams and shouts of human beings resounded under the dark sky that was as gloomy as the end of the world.

The terrified militiamen shot their arrows randomly and missed their arrows. Before they could put down their crossbows, they were grabbed by the flapping wings of the corpses and thrown high off the wall. Countless corpses thirsting for flesh and blood rushed forward, and their miserable wails were terrifying as their limbs and flesh were torn apart.

"Ah, ah, no!" Another unlucky soldier was thrown to the ground, and the sharp teeth and claws like barbs tore off his bloody face.

"Die!" Ivan roared and swung his sword. The steel blade cut off the monster's flapping bat wings, and the tip pierced the corpse's chest and lungs. He raised the blade and cut it, cutting it into two pieces with skin.

Ivan raised his foot to crush the head that was still opening and closing to bite, and killed the corpse demon that attacked him. He watched as the militiamen were dragged down by the winged ghosts. He had to take his servants and elite soldiers to continue fighting bloody battles, chasing the corpse demons everywhere on the chaotic wall, trying to stabilize the morale that was about to collapse.

At the foot of the wall, a large group of zombies controlled by the invisible will lifted up a series of simple long ladders and placed them on the battlements.

The undead zombies shot with bows and arrows and had no fear of life and death. The dead souls who had long died were more "fearless of death" than the bravest soldiers of the living, and such existences were almost everywhere at this moment.

The howling corpses almost stepped on the zombies holding the long ladders to climb to the wall.

In the eyes of the densely packed dead souls trying to climb first, there was only the desire for the swaying soul fire of the living on the wall and the fresh flesh and blood.

Ron kept swinging his long knife, chopping off the heads of the zombies that were swarming up the city wall.

The refugee leader saw another long ladder covered with flesh and blood on one side, about to approach, and hurriedly turned back to shout to his men.

Several big men immediately picked up long wooden stakes and stabbed the long ladder before it was placed on the battlement.

The wooden stake knocked the long ladder that had just been erected halfway back slowly, smashing into the zombies and crushing a row of zombies.

But this was just a futile delay. Even though the undead army had simple equipment, they had no fear of life and death, no pain and pain. The zombies that were ordered by the invisible will to set up long ladders again and again were still madly attacking the city wall.

No matter what kind of damage or loss they suffered, the cold-blooded and ruthless march of the undead would only stop when the last one was eliminated.

"Ahhh!!!" On the chaotic wall, the blood-stained armored attendant guarded the left wing of Knight Ivan, and pushed a crazy biting corpse ghost off the battlement with a shield.

Suddenly, he heard the whistling wind above his head. The attendant raised his sight behind the visor, and with wide eyes, he saw a terrifying monster like a giant bat, several times larger than the winged corpse demon, rushing over from the sky.

"Master! In the sky!!" The loyal attendant shouted desperately to warn.

Before hearing the warning from the servant, Ivan, who was slashing the corpse ghost, broke away from the fight and quickly turned around, raised the kite shield with a human face carved on it, and prepared for the giant bat ghost swooping down from the sky.

But the young Knight Cantadar still underestimated the terrifying force of the giant falling attack.

The giant bat ghost's thick lower limbs dented the knight's heavy shield.

Ivan was powerless to avoid the unreachable force. His body, which was covered with plate armor, was instantly pressed to the ground by the giant corpse ghost's other claw. He was dragged on the wall tile floor with a creaking sound. The impact and shock caused the knight to cough up blood in his throat and overflowed his faceplate.

The servant threw down the hammer in his hand, picked up the spear of the corpse on the ground, roared and rushed towards the monster that had knocked down the master, and tried his best to stab the sharp spear into the back of the giant bat ghost.

The steel spear penetrated the tough flesh, but the giant just flapped its right arm with wings, and with a bang, it knocked the servant who tried to save the master off the inner wall.

Ivan endured the pain and took the opportunity to stab the sword upward into the monster's chest, but the bat ghost turned around and showed no signs of being hurt at all. It opened its bat head full of fangs and bit the knight under it.

In a hurry, Ivan put the shield above his head. With a click, the already dented knight's kite shield was further twisted by the bloody mouth.

Ivan felt the swinging force of the monster and immediately let go of his left hand in panic. The giant bat ghost pulled the shield directly from the knight's left arm. If it hadn't let go in time, Ivan's entire left arm would have been torn off.

But looking at the giant mouth biting again, Ivan raised his hand helplessly to block in front of his helmet, ready to welcome the arrival of death.

The loving face of his mother, the beautiful face of his wife, and the cute face of his son flashed before his eyes.

Thunder roared through the clouds.

Lightning broke through the dark sky.

—— Bang! !

The dull sound of penetration reached the ears of the desperate Ivan.

It was the loud sound of a heavy object piercing through the tendons and bones.

Turbid black blood and minced meat splashed down from the giant bat ghost's chest and neck, staining the gorgeous beard mask covering Ivan's face and almost blurring his vision.

The crackling sound of electric sparks was loud, and the azure electric snakes penetrated the bat ghost's body from the inside out.

The magic power and thunder made the evil spirit in the monster feel pain for the first time, and a piercing scream broke out.

The soldiers looked up at the sky where the divine thunder fell.

In the dim shadows, the huge eagle wings spread out, like a messenger of God descending to the world.

Gungnir obeyed the call, and the magic spear full of arcs shot up into the sky like lightning, and was grabbed by the master again.

The roaring griffin swooped down, grabbed the still twitching giant bat monster with its claws and pulled it directly into the air. The death claws cried, and tore the stinking prey in half from shoulder to tail and threw it out.

Ivan was dragged and rolled when the giant bat ghost's claws broke free. He stabilized his body, struggled to support himself and raised his head, looking at the sky-falling monster that killed the giant bat.

The dazzling thunder had not yet extinguished, and another refracted reflection flew down from the back of the giant beast-

Olivia, who had untied the straps, stepped hard on the saddle and jumped back deftly from the back of the griffin that flew over the city.

The soaring girl knight swung the heavy sword in the air.

The powerful battlefield sword split the upper body of the corpse ghost into flying pieces of meat.

With a clang, the girl bent her knees slightly to ease the force. The moment her steel boots landed steadily, she took advantage of the recoil to step out. The petite figure wearing strong armor charged forward like a gust of wind towards the corpses in front of her.

The galloping footsteps of the iron boots were faster than the galloping horses.

The warriors in the fight could only see silver light like meteors passing by.

The flying and slashing victory blade, swung by its owner, set off a killing storm that swept the corpses on the city wall.

A cold light flashed, and before a soldier who was fighting desperately could blink, he saw several corpses in front of him, cut in half in an instant.

Olivia's body did not stop, and she saw a soldier on the other side being forced into a corner by several corpses in her peripheral vision. She immediately picked up the spear on the ground while sliding sideways, and kicked the end of the spear with a low kick.

——Bang!

The whistling spear shafts turned into giant arrows, piercing through the row of corpses and nailing them to the parapet.

The scaled skirt fluttered, and the girl continued to swing her long sword to chop the zombies that blocked her way.

She did not use the exquisite swordsmanship that she would use against a strong enemy.

The wide-open and wide-open slashes were now only to kill more enemies with each strike.

Dismemberment, limb cutting, beheading - the girl's ferocity, which was far greater than that on the battlefield of Charon, was revealed without reservation.

In the blink of an eye, the corpses that climbed up the northern city wall were almost slaughtered, and only a large area of ​​bloody and flying limbs and corpses were left behind her footprints.

None of the corpses and corpse demons that rushed towards the knight girl could delay Olivia for even half a second.

The knight girl, who had no mercy on the enemies of the dead souls, had completely let go of her hands and feet, just to save as many living lives as possible.

She urged herself to be faster, faster, and kill every zombie in her sight without any reservation.

Ivan picked up a long sword with difficulty, stood up, and looked at the back of the thin knight who looked like the real god of death in horror.

Who is that? Or what is that?

Pushing away the mask and spitting out the blood in his mouth, he looked up at the giant beast knight flying over the city wall again.

No matter what or who it is, they are now his hope of survival.

"It's the god of war Agares! The god of war has sent his messenger!!"

The young knight roared at the soldiers at the top of his lungs.

"The thunder god Novadin has sent lightning! The gods have not abandoned us!"

"Gods above! - For the god of war!!!" As if grabbing a life-saving straw, the desperate soldiers also shouted out, placing their last hope on the long-standing primitive faith

Pulling the iron reins, Leon raised the magic wand on the back of the griffin flying sideways in front of the city wall.

".Wild wind!"

The wind hammer whistled, and the atmospheric torrent hit the long ladder full of zombies like ants, blasting away several zombies and breaking them in one blow.

After Leon destroyed one, the death claw changed the direction of sideways flight, and the griffin's giant claws swept over the city wall, grabbed another long ladder together with the zombies on it, took it into the air, and threw it to the zombies besieging the city.

While soaring, he suddenly heard a burst of wings flapping behind him.

Leon turned his head against the wind and saw dozens of bat-winged zombies rising from the city wall like dark clouds, pressing towards him.

He pulled the iron reins and let the griffin take off. The climbing ability of the aerial overlord left those slow-moving zombies far behind in a moment.

Of course, this was not to escape. Speed ​​and height are the basis of the power of raptors in air combat.

The griffin, flying backwards with its wings spread, rolled down, and the giant beast plunged into the group of "moths" like a diving fighter.

It savagely passed through the group of corpses, with four claws, huge wings, and sharp eagle beaks, carrying huge power, and shot down seven or eight corpses directly from the air.

The griffin flapped its wings and soared at a large angle. Leon held the saddle firmly and was about to repeat the trick.

"Wait. Concentrate, I will open up your vision for you."

Hearing Laura's voice, Leon immediately gave up continuing to entangle with the corpses.

The support of himself and Olivia temporarily stabilized the front line of the defenders of the city wall, but it was still in vain.

It was impossible for the two of them to protect the people in the city from the huge wave of undead. It was only a matter of time before the town fell.

This was the fact he knew when he made the decision to try to save this place.

However, according to Laura's judgment, such a large number of undead, without a controller, could not maintain such an orderly attack like an army. If the violent undead were allowed to act independently, it would only lead to chaos.

This sea of ​​corpses must have one or more wizards who command and control them. If he is killed, perhaps the people in this city can still be saved.

Feel Laura's spell in the body and transfer the magic power to his eyes.

Instantly, Leon's vision changed, everything turned pale, only the countless soul fires spread all over the land were particularly eye-catching.

Almost at the same time, he discovered the strange phenomenon on the city wall.

Ghosts that could not be seen by the naked eye were constantly leaving the body.

These lights symbolizing the soul, of course, belonged to the dead ghosts and living guards who died in battle.

But the souls that lost their vitality did not dissipate. Instead, the wandering souls flew to the forest hills on the east side of the city like a swarm of attracted bees.

"So that's it. There is a spell to gather all the dead souls in this area

Leon, if you don't solve it, it's useless even if you kill all these zombies. As long as there are enough corpses, the wizards who are proficient in the necromancy can rely on those souls to summon thousands of zombies again." Laura's voice sounded as if she understood something.

Leon was horrified when he heard this. Isn't this cheating?

There is no doubt that no matter whether the spellcaster who commands the undead army is there or not, the spell that gathers souls over there must be destroyed as soon as possible.

Eliminating the magic vision, he hurriedly turned the griffin around and quickly flew to the city wall to look for Olivia.

The knight girl, who had already reached the eastern wall, looked at the siege ladder that was still surging with the wights. Seeing that the militiamen following her could not close the gap, she let go of the long sword inserted into the wight's body and bent down to pick up the heavy wooden stake on the ground.

"--Get out of the way!" Olivia picked up the wooden stake that required several strong men to lift, raised her head and shouted in Uriah with a strong northern accent.

The crisp voice of the girl scared away the soldiers who were defending the city in front of them. They looked back in shock and realized that this thin knight who was like the incarnation of the god of war was actually a girl under the armor! ?

Olivia rushed forward with the wooden stake and slammed it hard on the top of the siege ladder.

With a tooth-grinding creaking sound, she single-handedly flipped the ladder on the battlement, which was full of wights and could never be pushed open by ordinary people, back to the city.

Hearing the loud noise of the ladder hitting the wights, the militiamen who spontaneously gathered around the knight girl burst into cheers and excited howls.

Such an inhuman terrifying power made them believe that the person in front of them was definitely the Valkyrie sent to the mortal world by the God of War.

A gust of wind raised by flying wings descended, and Leon drove the Death Claw to the top of the city.

"Olivia! Come up, I found the target!"

Hearing her lover's call, the girl looked around the battlefield where the fighting was deafening. Except for the circling corpse witches who were still harassing the soldiers and constantly attacking the defenders, the situation on the city wall was temporarily stabilized. The elite soldiers who formed a shield formation at the remaining ladder also resisted the surging wights.

But looking down at the city, the "human ladder" built by the corpse ghosts with flesh and blood was slowly approaching the top of the city. The wall of this town was not tall enough after all.

We must kill the enemy leader as soon as possible! Only then can we have a chance to save the situation.

Olivia turned back and wanted to take back the weapon she had just dropped.

She was surprised to see that a Kantadar warrior actually knelt on the ground, holding up the heavy "Victory and Oath" with difficulty, and humbly bowed his head to hand over the sword.

(Uriah)

"Great Valkyrie, please lead us." The frightened Shatai City guard bowed his head and prayed tremblingly and fanatically.

Olivia held the hilt of the sword with her right hand, took back the sword, frowned, and didn't quite understand what the other party was saying.

The girl's level of Uriah is currently limited to knowing some daily words.

".Fight hard and protect the people." Olivia's voice was muffled and reluctant under the helmet.

Turning around and walking quickly towards the outer wall, the girl jumped onto the parapet with her long sword in hand and climbed back to the griffin's co-seat.
