Alien Knights

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the earth, the people in Muxi City who were still sleeping were awakened by the shaking of the ground and the low noise.

People opened their doors and took to the streets. Amid uneasiness and panic, they turned their sights to the east of the city.

There, dark clouds covered the entire sky, gradually cutting off the light from above the clouds.

Someone with a keen eye climbed up to the roof of his house and looked into the distance. Soon he was so frightened by the distant scene that he fell to the ground and screamed.

"That's not a dark cloud, it's a dead spirit!"

Tens of thousands of undead birds and bats gathered together and flew over Muxi City, like a huge black tornado, constantly circling and surrounding. The scene was as terrifying as the end of the world.

Alarm bells sounded in the city's towers, a signal for everyone to get indoors and take shelter.

Just as the people on the street were fleeing in all directions, a black whirlwind composed of undead birds suddenly swooped down on the streets of the city, dragging several people who could not avoid it into the air.

Blood fell to the ground like rain, and the screams made people shudder.

In just a few seconds, the remains of the victim were eaten away, and all that was thrown back into the street were the bones.

A long horn sounded from the city, and groups of elven crusaders stepped onto the top floors of the city towers.

One after another, light blue water balls flew out from the windows of the tower and rose into the sky above the city.

Just when the water ball rose to the highest point, groups of fireballs followed closely, exploding the water ball and turning it into thick fog, covering half of the city.

The undead birds entered the mist, just like mosquitoes that had encountered poison, and fell from the sky one after another, falling all over the street.

Holding a telescope, Cumberland stood on the wall of the eastern defense line, looking at everything in the city, and said to his adjutant: "Let the defenders in the city stop attacking. The original vaccine solution is very precious, and not even a drop can be wasted."

After the adjutant used the beehive on the dragon bone armor to convey the order, he said to Cumberland: "Sir, the flying undead have arrived, which means that the ground corpses of the undead will not be too far away."

Cumberland nodded and said: "Raise the alert level and let the Thunder War Beast arrive at the designated combat location."

one hour later.

A thick black shadow appeared on the eastern horizon of Duixi City.

These shadows are getting bigger and thicker.

When the shadow slowly approached, everyone saw clearly that the mountains and plains were all filled with dead souls.

Humans, livestock, wild beasts, although these undead are covered with parasites, they can still barely see their original appearance.

There are also some strange undead spirits that use parasitic limbs as the skeleton of their structures, and assemble all kinds of residual limbs and flesh on their bodies. From a distance, they look like a group of monsters coming back from hell. .

The three thousand knights of the Muxi Knights, riding exotic war horses, lined up in neat lines and stood at the forefront of the defense line.

Behind them was a temporary formation composed of 900 Crusaders and 10,000 Holy Acropolis and Silver Ring City soldiers.

Further behind, there is a reserve army composed of militiamen, catechumens, and a support force composed of war beasts.

This is already all the troops that can be dispatched to the eastern defense line of Muxi City.

Cumberland clearly understood that today's battle was the key to boosting morale and stabilizing the defense, and was related to the success or failure of the entire battle.

The adjutant used the power of Eagle Eye to scan the battlefield and whispered to Cumberland: "Sir, the previous intelligence said that there were 300,000 undead. It seems that this number is still underestimated."

Cumberland sighed rarely: "At this time, it doesn't make much difference if the enemy's number is ten thousand more or ten thousand less... What makes me more concerned is that something is wrong with the situation on the other side."

"Something's wrong?"

After hearing this, the adjutant turned back to look at the battlefield. Looking at the overwhelming undead in the distance, he did notice that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it for a while.

Cumberland's answer: "These undead are too quiet."

The adjutant was stunned: "Quiet?"

Cumberland: "In the previous battle, the undead were like a group of beasts without intelligence and only knew how to kill. But now, when they find us, they don't charge immediately. Don't you find it strange?"

The adjutant reacted: "That said, it is indeed a bit..."

Cumberland recalled the visions of the past few days, including the disappearance of the dragon god, the rise of the giant tower, and the abnormality of the heaven and earth, and his uneasiness became greater and greater.

While he was meditating, the group of undead corpses moved.

Two groups of undead troops composed of beasts and animals, with a total number of about 50,000. They separated from the left and right wings of the corpse group. Relying on their speed advantage, they circled back to both sides of the battlefield and formed a formation with the corpse group. The shape of a Chinese character sandwiched the military strength of Mu Xicheng's troops.

Seeing this scene, the adjutant opened his eyes wide and fell into shock.

Cumberland frowned and murmured: "My guess is correct, there is indeed someone controlling these undead spirits."

Facing the three horned undead armies, the adjutant was a little panicked: "Sir, should we retreat behind the city wall?"

Cumberland glared at the adjutant: "Idiot! See clearly the comparison of arms types and strength before speaking!"

"Retreating to the city wall means giving up our greatest advantage, the cavalry, and entering into a meaningless battle to defend the city with the enemy. At this time, offense is the best defense... After the order is passed, the entire Knights are dispatched. , the undead forward on the left front of the target!"

A few seconds later, the Muxi Knights blew the marching horn.

Three thousand knights wearing keels and riding exotic war horses charged at the undead front army more than ten kilometers away at lightning speed.

Facing the undead troops composed of wild beasts, the knights formed a triangular arrow formation. With the huge impact, they completely penetrated the undead formation with one charge.

Seeing those beasts covered with parasites being knocked into the air and scattered in all directions in front of the iron hooves of the war horses, Cumberland turned his attention to the center of the undead corpse group.

There was quite a commotion among the corpses. Some of the undead broke away from the large army and wanted to attack the cavalry.

But soon, the undead souls that escaped from the center were pulled back into the group of corpses like a hyena tied by a rein.

Ignoring the knights who were repeatedly attacking the undead forward troops, the large army of undead corpses began to march quickly towards the city wall.

Cumberland took back the telescope: "Whoever is controlling these undead spirits, although this person has never commanded an army, at least he is not an idiot."

Cumberland turned his head to the adjutant: "Inform, all knights are not allowed to fight after breaking up the enemy's forward line. Take a short rest and detour to the enemy's rear line!"

Looking at the undead army attacking like a tsunami in the distance, Cumberland ordered again: "The center formation is ready to bear the impact, and the thundering war beasts are in position!"
