Alien Knights

The news of the impending undead quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Muxi City, as if it had wings.

The disaster told by the Dragon God himself made everyone clearly understand that this may be the most serious crisis since the establishment of the kingdom.

Humans, Crusaders, and Ocean Races all put aside their past arrogance and prejudice. Everyone has only one goal - to defend the city and survive.

Regardless of gender or age, almost everyone in the city took up arms.

There is no way out for everyone. According to the troops patrolling outside the city, the Dragon Kingdom may be the last kingdom standing on the earth in the world. All other cities have long become the lair of the undead.

In the next three days, the undead on Luoxing Plain launched dozens of large and small attacks on Muxi City.

Explosions, fighting, and screams echoed on the land outside the city every day.

In the eastern defense area of ​​Duixi City, the orc Carroll split the last struggling undead in half with an axe, and then leaned against the city wall and breathed heavily.

After uprooting the parasite corpse that had burrowed into his chest, Aldenan didn't care at all about the blood pouring out of his chest. He stumbled and fell to the ground, looking at the gray sky, unable to get up anymore.

"I heard from the group of Valkyrie responsible for the investigation that those who attacked Muxi City in the past few days were all the forward troops of the undead..." Aldenan's hair was mixed with blood and knotted and tangled: "Tomorrow morning, The first giant corpse group of the undead will arrive at the border of Muxi City, and the number is roughly estimated to be close to 300,000..."

Carol glanced at Aldenan: "Which Valkyrie told you? Is it Haidrin? That girl who loves to laugh?"

There was a hint of emotion in Aldenan's calm tone: "Hadlin is dead. When she came back from patrol yesterday evening, she encountered a group of undead crows..."

Carol was stunned.

The two fell into silence.

After a while, Aldenan whispered: "In Lone Rock City, I heard that there are groups of corpses crossing the foothills and entering the plains from the direction of the Southern Empire; and on the west side of Waiheke Island, traces of marine undead were also found. All ports and trading posts were closed, and the navy also blocked the entrance to the sea.”

Carroll looked left and right, and then said to Aldenan: "Just say what you want to say."

Aldnan: "You know what I'm trying to say."

Carroll gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not leaving here."

Aldenan rolled his eyes: "I never wanted to persuade you to leave here."

Carroll: "Barbara's due date is coming soon, and I have to make sure she and the baby are safe."

Aldenan struggled to get up from the ground, kicked the undead corpse next to him off the city wall, and said to Carol: "Don't you think about yourself? If you die, I highly doubt that woman will Shed a tear.”

To Aldenan's surprise, Carol looked directly at the former, his face unusually calm, showing no sign of anger.

"I remember you asked me a question once," Carroll said.

Aldnan: "What?"

Carroll: "What are people pursuing in this life? Food? Wealth? Prestige? If I say, everyone has something in their heart that they want to protect. For such a thing, we can give up everything and become Everything... Just because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”

Aldenan waved his hand: "I never knew that you had the talent to become a philosopher. I would rather live and enjoy the rest of my life than those illusory things."

Carol shrugged: "Well, even if you just want to survive, you have to face everything now... because, for living people, there is no other place in this world except Twilight West City."

Aldenan let out a long sigh: "You are right, this world is about to end, and Muxi City may be our last chance to survive."

At the Eastern Defense Line Headquarters seventeen kilometers away, Cumberland, who had not slept for twenty-four hours in a row, opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at the sand table filled with dense black flags in front of him, and asked: "Chakley How is the gap in the special defense line doing now?"

Alfonso Decavo pointed to a circle of black flags on the eastern front and said: "At noon today, the Fourth Regiment went up and drove all the undead that broke through the defense line off the city wall."

Cumberland looked at the sand table, frowned, and said nothing.

Alfonso thought for a while and then said: "Most of the garrison troops in the Challit Defense Circle are soldiers from the Holy Guard City and Silver Ring City. They can deal with ordinary undead spirits, but it is difficult to deal with a large number of alien undead spirits. It’s because there is nothing we can do... The collapse of the defense line this time cannot be entirely blamed on..."

Before Alfonso could finish speaking, Cumberland said: "At this time, there is no point in pursuing responsibility. The key lies in how to allocate military power to prevent the next crisis in the defense line."

Alfonso looked at the sand table and suggested: "How about deploying the Crusaders on the southern defense line? The southern front has been relatively stable these days, with only a few small-scale attacks. Then deploy some Crusaders to support the eastern front. It helps balance the force."

Cumberland thought for a while and rejected the proposal: "We can't mobilize the troops there... Think about it, most of the undead against the Eastern Front come from the Parish Kingdom, where the population is relatively small and the terrain is relatively flat. So the undead marched time, it’s faster but smaller.”

"Most of the undead on the southern line are from the Southern Empire. There is a large population in that area, but because of the steep terrain, they move slower. But once the undead in the south cross the mountains and reach the plains, their offensive will be stronger than It’s even more severe here on the Eastern Front.”

"Therefore, the Crusaders on the southern defense line cannot be mobilized."

Alfonso nodded, and then said: "According to the report of the patrol force, at sunrise tomorrow, the first giant group of undead corpses will arrive at the eastern front of Muxi City."

Cumberland: "Tomorrow's war will probably be the most severe battle in the past few days. Let us inform you so that everyone can be prepared and the defense supplies will be inventoried and distributed."

Alfonso: "Citizen representatives in the city found Prime Minister Emerson, hoping to come to the front line and join the fight."

Cumberland said in a deep voice: "Tell those guys who are only causing trouble to get out of there! They are not trained, and some of them don't even know what the undead look like. Such people are on the city wall." , it will only scream like crazy and run away, it is of no use at all!"

Alfonso knew that the other party was telling the truth and did not refute it.

Cumberland shook his head and said, "I'm going to take a nap. If there's any movement, wake me up."
