Alien Knights

Carroll lowered the bottom hook of the tower shield and pulled out the support plate, allowing the entire shield to be firmly erected in front of him like a horse.

Aldenan used his hands and feet to load a crossbow with a crossbow bolt, hung it on Carroll's back, then loaded the other crossbow and held it in his hand.

Hearing the heavy breathing from behind, Aldenan turned his head and saw a human soldier covered in armor, but with a spear in his hand that was shaking.

Staring into the other person's eyes, Aldenan smiled and said, "Afraid?"

The human soldier nodded subconsciously, quickly reacted, and shook his head desperately.

Aldenan grinned: "Once the battle starts, the smell of blood will enter your brain along the nose, and you will never know what fear is again."

Carol and the Crusaders orcs around him adjusted the position of the shield array, then half-knelt behind the tower shield and observed the battlefield through the gap.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are rushing towards me. Scenes like this may be often seen or heard in books and dramas, but actually facing them brings completely different senses.

There is no trace of color in the green vegetation and brown soil.

The overwhelming undead filled the area within sight.

At first, you can only see the other side of the battlefield, a large area of ​​densely packed and constantly moving things.

As the distance approaches, these dead objects that only appear in tombs slowly enlarge in your eyes; you can no longer hear your own heartbeat, and your ears are filled with the piercing screams of the dead; you can no longer hear your heartbeat. I couldn't smell the burn in the air, and there was only a thick corpse smell in my nose that couldn't be dissipated.

A long trumpet sounded from behind the defense line.

Eighteen giant thundering beasts that looked like hills walked slowly to the open space behind the city wall.

On each of their backs, there is a huge four-meter-long cannon barrel installed on the left and right.

The barrel is completely black and is completely deformed from the keel. On top of it, Tesla parasites emitting blue light are wrapped around it.

The two gunners first put huge metal ammunition loaded with multiple spore bombs into the barrel of the Thunder War Beast.

A mutant responsible for correcting data and calculating ballistics reported a long series of numbers, and the gunner sitting on the back of the thundering war beast pressed hard on the limbs of the keel parasite.

The huge boom shook the world and suppressed all the sounds on the battlefield; the sky-high flames lit up Muxi City in an instant.

The whistling shells fell into the crowded group of corpses in a very short period of time.

The whole earth shook like a strong earthquake, and residents far away in the city were knocked to the ground by the movement.

Mud, turf, blood and limbs were like a passing typhoon, sweeping over half of the battlefield.

When Carroll shook off the dust from his head and looked forward, the original group of hundreds of thousands of undead corpses had shrunk in size.

Aldenan leaned over and said, "If there is such a thing, it should be taken out and used as soon as possible."

Carroll rolled his eyes at him: "Such a big movement is equivalent to sending invitations to other zombie groups."

Aldenan looked ahead and whispered: "They are coming."

The unconscious and fearless undead, after experiencing such a huge explosion, seemed to have no hesitation or cowardice at all, and accelerated straight towards the city wall.

Soon, another horn sounded.

The knights, who were originally hovering on the edge of the battlefield, suddenly approached the rear of the corpse group.

The knights took out spherical-shaped incendiary bombs and gunpowder bombs from the trousers on the sides of their horses. After lighting these bombs, they placed them on the parasite limbs of the keel. They used the deformation function of the keel to throw them towards the corpses. .

Explosions and flames exploded among the corpses, and pieces of undead were harvested and fell to the ground like wheat straw in the farmland.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the defense line cheered.

Before everyone could be happy for too long, a group of strange undead souls ran out from the corpses in the face of the knight's bomb attack.

Their heads and bodies still retain the appearance of humans, but their limbs are completely beast-like, with white bone spurs growing densely on their backs.

They crawled quickly and moved quickly, moving collectively on the battlefield and quickly approaching the knights.

At a distance of less than fifty meters, these bone-spurred undead souls shook their bodies, tilted their backs, and shot out the bone-spurs like arrows, falling into the ranks of the knights.

These bone spurs are difficult to penetrate the keels of knights, but they can cause fatal damage to their mounts.

The war horse that was beaten into the shape of a hedgehog whined and fell to the ground, and the knight on it also fell down.

These bone-spurred undead sighted the fallen and attacked them in groups, making the knights suffer battle deaths for the first time.

Facing these new enemies, the knights took advantage of the speed of the alien warhorses to bypass the bone-spurred undead and return to the other direction of the corpse group.

Before they could launch an attack, a giant undead three meters high and seven or eight meters long walked out from the group of corpses.

This undead has countless rotting legs and feet, and looks like a centipede coiled around its body. Its body is made up of many dead corpses, and on the top there is a huge mouth with sharp teeth transformed by many parasites.

It looked in the direction of the knights and sprayed countless light gray gases from the insect mouth above its head.

As long as a person or horse comes into contact with these gases that are blown away by the wind, they will be immediately poisoned and fall to the ground, losing all ability to move.

The giant undead stretched out countless tentacle-like parasite limbs from its body, rolled up the poisoned ones on the ground one by one, dragged them into the insect's mouth, and slowly chewed them up and swallowed them.

Seeing this scene, everyone on the battlefield was stunned.

Aldenan grabbed Carroll's shoulders and looked shocked: "What the hell is that?! There has never been anything like this before!"

Carroll said with a headache: "The undead seem to be integrating the characteristics of other species."

Aldenan stood stunned for a while and suddenly said: "I have heard people say before that the undead can screen, absorb and improve the abilities of alien species. At first, the alien undead only had one kind of ability, but as the undead evolved, They can have many different abilities.”

"No one believed this statement at first. After all, in everyone's eyes, they were just a group of corpses parasitized by insects... But now..."

Aldenan took a breath: "What exactly are undead? Do they really belong to this world?"

Carroll turned back and shouted: "Now is not the time to think nonsense, pick up your weapon!"

Aldenan came back to his senses and saw the corpses getting closer and closer. He gritted his teeth, raised his crossbow, and said fiercely: "No matter who you are, I will never fall here! I will live. Get down!"
