Soul Echo

"We are believers in the Light of Supreme."

Knight dismounted from his horse, took off his helmet, put his right hand on his forehead, "before this time He came to go to Laurel City to kill the demon who returned from hell to the world."

Then, he looked at the people in front of him with some doubts, "Are you a passing adventurer? Can you give us some pointers? Check the direction to make sure we're not going wrong?"

"No."

The person who communicated with Knight was the Captain of the first team, he hooked the head and said: "We He just escaped from the city of Laurel, and there are hundreds of people in the woods behind."

Knight's eyes lit up, "There are still hundreds of people, that's very good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "I mean lucky... No! I know that the demon is very powerful, so I think that you can escape from Laurel City is one, one... ..."

As he spoke, Knight stammered because he didn't know what to say.

At this moment, his adjutant came up and held his shoulder.

"Sorry, our Captain's mouth is a bit stupid, he didn't mean to mock you, he just wanted to express his joy and joy that so many of you survived."

Knight nodded again and again, rubbing his fingers a little sorry.

"It's okay, I can understand, I can understand." The mercenary smiled kindly, and he also saw that the Knight of Sun God had no malice.

Then, the adjutant restrained his smile, looked up at the sky, "It's getting late, we have to leave as soon as possible, the sooner we arrive at Laurel City, the better."

After receiving After arriving at Oracle, they put on their equipment as quickly as possible, and asked their squires to help pack their bags. Then they set off at night and spent one night crossing several territories to come here—for this reason, they did not even bring the squire Knight with them. .

A powerful demon has awakened in Laurel City, returning in a swirl of dust with its undead army, if they can't stop them from opening the gate of the abyss, Etrul and the entire Western Land will lose of life .

"Wait a minute, brother of the Supreme Sun Cult!"

A deep voice came from the woods, and the Guardian Knights turned to look.

The middle-aged deacon walked quickly out of the woods, and the robe on his body indicated his identity.

"Are you a cultivator of Moon God Church?" Captain Knight looked surprised, "Did you escape with the people of Laurel City?"

Middle-aged deacon shook the head, "No, it was an adventurer who led us to escape from Laurel City. His name was 'Zhong Ye', and he was from Easterland."

"Adventurer?" Captain Knight looked surprised.

"I want to ask you one thing - after you arrive at Laurel City, if you meet an Easterland adventurer, please help him."

The middle-aged apostle hangs down The head, solemnly saluted, and after the others reacted, they also saluted.

Watching a group of people salute him for one person, Captain Knight was inexplicably shocked, and at the same time curious.

If there is an opportunity, he really wants to meet that adventurer named 'Zhong Ye'.

The Knight head nodded them to the middle-aged acolyte, put on a helmet, and rode on horseback.

The middle-aged deacon pointed out the direction for the Knight regiment, the Knights whistled at the same time, and the two hundred horses stepped forward at the same time-in order to arrive as soon as possible, they brought all the horses of the Knight regiment, One person and two rides can keep the team's speed at the highest point.

Before dawn, the Knights set off again towards Laurel City.

…………

Faisal looked up at the castle in front of him, the untiring and hard-to-kill undead Legion kept attacking the castle, and the castle was lost The outer walls and other buildings, and then Knight, who led the war, dropped a large pile of corpses and retreated to the fortress.

The fortress was separated from the outer wall by an empty square. Behind Faisal, the dead Spirit Warrior soldiers dragged the corpses of the city guards who were killed on the outer wall.

"Four hundred years can make war look different..."

Faisal couldn't help but sigh, four hundred years ago, war was not like this. .

No muskets, no artillery, all ranged attack abilities come from bows and mages.

Faisal has seen gunpowder, but didn't expect that four hundred years later, people will be able to use those 'dangerous things' to create enough mortals to kill transcenders. arms.

It's a pity that the person who commanded the battle had a nodded brain, and did not forget to destroy the gunpowder that could not be taken away when he fled.

Faisal got muskets and cannons, and a pile of soaked gunpowder, which made it a pity that there was no way to attack the fort with these weapons.

It can 'see', panicked soldiers hiding behind gates and windows, panicked civilians who fled into the fortress in time, apart from this, and nobles, wealthy businessmen, all of them hiding in fear deep in the fortress.

Its soldiers have found the escape route of the castle and hunted the heads of several nobles, scaring back those who tried to escape from the castle.

—if they escape, where does it go to find enough sacrifices to open the gates of the abyss?

Faisal already knew about the escape of the civilians gathered in the church, and it also thought about going after it, but the King of Wisdom gave it an order at that time-open as soon as possible The gate of the abyss.

Therefore, Faisal could only give up the idea of ​​​​pursuing.

The civilians who didn't have time to escape into the fortress were locked out by the soldiers, and their bodies were piled up in front of the gate of the fortress early.

The blood flowed into the fortress along the dark ditch, and the people hiding in the fortress smelled the blood and wanted to spit it out in fear.

Boom——

Suddenly, a cannon sounded, and the corpse exploded, and the flesh and blood splattered. Faisal couldn't help but let out a low 'laugh'.

"Stupid..."

There are three cannons in the fortress, and when one of them starts to fire, the other two will naturally follow closely from behind.

Extend the bone claws and hold it in the air, and the flying sand condenses in Faisal's hand to form a shield.

The shells roared and hit the shield with a bang. The shield burst into countless cracks, but it didn't shatter, and Faisal didn't take a step back.

Another cannonball flew towards a dead Spirit Warrior who was dragging the corpse. Get up again.

Fear, the more fearful, the closer you are to the abyss...

With a wave of Faisal's hand, the undead transformed from the civilians of Laurel City rushed to the fortress, fingers clasped. Enter the crack and climb to the top of the fortress.

The soldiers stationed at the top of the castle were panting, unable to contain their fear, and threw the furniture down before more undead climbed up.

Dresser, table, chair, all furniture with a certain weight was moved to the top of the fortress, these expensive luxury items fell on the zombie, and they fell to the ground together into a pile Pieces of no value.

Faisal admired the bloody theater, and suddenly, an uncomfortable feeling surged from the bottom of his heart, causing him to look back involuntarily.

There is a little light behind the layers of clouds and waves, the blood moon fades to only a vague outline, and the dazzling stars shine again on the curtain of the night, but their brilliance is also fleeting. fleeting.

The rays of the sun appeared from the other side of the sky, suddenly piercing the darkness, severing the sea of ​​clouds, and the stars no longer shining.

The long night will come to an end, and the dawn has come.

"The nasty sun..."

cursed, Faisal turned his attention back to the fort.

And just as it turned its attention back, an exuberant Fire of Life abruptly broke into its range of perception.

Faisal was stunned for a while, he seemed to have a little impression of the 'breath' of this Fire of Life.

It's behind you and is heading towards the castle.

"Interesting..."

Faisal waited silently for a moment and looked back.

A dark shadow appeared from the other side of the long street, and just before it appeared, it pulled out the big sword on its back and charged its army.

morning sun was gradually raised behind him, but in Faisal's 'eyes', those eyes full of anger were no less dimmer than the sun.

Looking at the silhouette, Faisal raised his arm.

"Prepare to throw spears—

"Shoot! "

The arm swung down, like a wave like a tide, more like a spear thrown into the sky by pouring rain.

The soldiers hiding in the fortress watched this scene in horror. , watching the spears rush out of the castle.

They watched as the sun shot the morning light, and then the black spears drowned it.
