Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 501 The Trapped Girls
Burns was washed overnight by a sudden rain.

Alina raised her head, her whole body was wet, her long blond hair was sticking to her cheeks, her throat was moving, she wanted to choke but didn't dare to make a sound.

She could only slightly adjust her posture so that her back could rest on the white bones behind her more comfortably, but just such a small movement made the water pool that soaked half of her body make a "crash" sound, and she was frightened. She tensed again.

She lowered her head slightly, half of Caroline's short silver-white hair stuck to her neck in her arms, and there were still tears on the cheeks of that delicate face, and the movement of her mouth in the dream should be calling someone's name—— She knew the mouth shape and called "Cyril".

It was their third day trapped in Burns.

Three days ago, when she was going to Burns with the half-lizard people, she was followed by a team of dozens of undead people on the way—the skeletons each carried a big sword, and they were lightly armed but moved extremely quickly.

She knew the identity of the opponent—Cyril had taught her that these were the "ghost swordsmen" of the undead, and they were good at targeting infantry, with quick movements and astonishing lethality.

In desperation, she could only let the half-lizards flee separately, and entered Burns by herself, hoping to find Caroline quickly and leave.

But the undead immediately entered Burns, and the disparity in the number made Elena unable to resist, so she could only hide with Caroline, praying that the undead would only rest here temporarily and would leave soon.

But reality is always cruel.A large number of undead settled in Burns in the past three days.Maybe it's because these undead like the environment full of bones here?Alina didn't know, and didn't want to know.

The only thing she was lucky about was that the place where she and Caroline were hiding had not been discovered yet.

This is an extremely huge skull, the eye sockets alone are almost one and a half times as tall as hers.The length of the entire head was almost over six meters, and it was piled up on a large pile of skull bones. It was obviously a masterpiece made by Caroline in the past few days.

She didn't know how Caroline managed to splice and transform the bones, but at this moment, this huge white bone became their lifesaver.They lay on the back of the head with the curvature, their huge eye sockets facing the sky.

Perhaps it was because the undead were afraid of the giant bones, they didn't examine the skull, and Elena didn't even hear the sound of the undead turning over the nearby bones—of course, it could also be because they were waiting for the witch The demon came to check and accept, but at least, until now, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Except for the upturned eye sockets, the rainwater from last night accumulated in them, submerging half of their bodies.

"Sister Alina."

A soft call came from her ear, and Elena lowered her head, and saw that Caroline had opened her eyes. At this moment, her lips were moving slightly, and her face was filled with distress: "I'm so hungry, so hungry."

Her voice has been suppressed very lightly, but it still looks so abrupt in this empty skull.Alina hurriedly motioned her to silence, then raised her arm as lightly as possible, and took out a small piece of jerky the size of a thumb from the bracelet.

"Keep it in your mouth, don't move around, don't make a sound." She made a mouth shape and fed the jerky to Caroline's mouth.Caroline couldn't wait to suck it, and when she saw Elena took out another piece of jerky that was much smaller than what she ate, only the size of a fingernail, she couldn't help but froze for a moment, then moved her arm slowly, wanting to reach out and squeeze her mouth Take out the jerky that contains only half of it.

"Eat your own." Alina immediately knew what Caroline was doing, and reprimanded her with a tight mouth.Caroline didn't dare to move immediately - the movement just now made the water in the skull make a sound.

She could only obediently put the jerky in her mouth, let the saliva wet it, tasted the faint salty taste on it, and then peeled it off bit by bit with her tongue.

Elena continued to raise her head, her beautiful purple eyes lost their spirit at the moment.She was lost in thought, thinking about the situation outside.

Miss Mia, how are they doing?Did you evacuate smoothly?How about the lord, is everything safe and sound?

Why are there so many undead coming to this place? Could it be that the front line has been defeated and the undead are allowed to sneak in?

Would anyone still think they were here and come to rescue them?
There are still a few pieces of jerky left in the bracelet, how many days can they last here?
The drenched body gradually turned cold, and she felt that Caroline hugged herself a little tighter, as if she wanted this, seeking warmth.

The more Alina thought about it, the more sad she became, and her nostrils twitched slightly.If the lord came... No, if she was as strong as the lord, and could have a horse as powerful and elegant as the lord, wouldn't she be able to escape with Caroline long ago instead of being trapped in the What about here?
Over the past few months, she has been working hard to improve herself so that she can get closer to some lords.

Although she really felt her improvement, the distance was getting further and further away.

He alone could pull a large group of undead and defeat the elite chariot troops, but she couldn't even simply rescue Caroline.

Does her effort really make sense?
She suddenly felt the hand around her arm pinch her hard, then she lowered her head, only to see Caroline's terrified little face—suddenly, Elena felt as if she could see farther away , as if he was flying above Burns, looking down.

She clearly saw a group of skeletons pouring in from the gate of the city where the skeletons were entrenched. The leader of the skeletons was holding a long staff. He was a very obvious necromancer—or a lich.

Alina didn't have the ability to distinguish between them, but no matter which one it was, it was too bad for them.Ordinary undead would not be interested in such a skeleton skull, but a necromancer would definitely!

Her body tensed again, her arms wrapped around Caroline.The high-altitude vision has long since disappeared, but at this moment she can already hear the sound of footsteps coming towards here, stepping on the stagnant water, pattering, gradually approaching, stepping over the bluestone slab, Stepped on the pile of bones piled up with skulls!
Right now, it's coming to the skeleton skull!

They are about to be found!
Elena's heart was beating frighteningly fast, Caroline grabbed her arms, and her rapid breath hit the side of her neck.They all closed their eyes tightly and prayed deeply in their hearts:

"Danya above, Nora above, whoever it is, please, please, keep it away from us, don't..."

Just when her lips were whispering, thinking about such a moment——

"Om - woo -"

At the same time, the sound of footsteps gradually approaching the skull stopped.

Trumpet sound?Is that the sound of a trumpet?It's La Rochelle's horn!Is anyone here, reinforcements?Or the Siliki army is back!
Elina's mood suddenly became excited, but she heard the footsteps from the necromancer, who hesitated for a moment and then quickly walked away, and at the same time, there were other skeletons wandering nearby .

Not long after, the surroundings became silent.

The undead seemed to have gone away because of the sudden sound of the horn.

Alina's tense body suddenly relaxed, and she couldn't even control her body, she slid down for a while, and her dry back was soaked in the stagnant water again, making a splashing sound .

But at the moment, even that wet feeling made her feel less annoying.Caroline, who hugged her tightly, also relaxed, and buried herself in her chest, whimpering softly, and the joy could not be hidden in the short and hasty crying.

"Don't cry, hurry up, let's escape."

She comforted her softly, then propped up her body, and slowly stood up from the stagnant water.

Keeping this movement for a long time made her body a little stiff. She moved her joints a little, and then the magic power of the ice element was released from her body, forming an ice ladder in an instant, leading directly to the eye sockets of the skeleton above.

The two girls climbed out of the skull step by step.Sitting on the face of the skull, they almost wept with joy when they saw that there was no undead around.

Alina nimbly jumped onto the pile of bones, and then stretched out her hand to catch the falling Caroline—Caroline was already half a head taller than her. It was hanging around her neck like a wombat, which made Alina a little overwhelmed.

However, Elena could also understand Caroline's joy. It must have been a torment for her to let the most active Caroline stay almost motionless in the skull for more than three days.

"Okay, okay, let me see which direction we should go out from." She let Caroline loosen her arms and listened carefully, "The sound came from the west and north, and the south gate and east gate don't know what it is situation."

"I'll go and see!" Caroline raised her hand, and an undead bone dog, her signature, jumped out of the bones. It didn't take long before she frowned and said distressedly: "The south gate and the east gate are both There are still a lot of skeletons, we can't get out alone."

Alina let out a soft "ah": "What if I choose to rush out?"

"There are probably two teams of skeleton archers, and another team of skeleton soldiers. The skeleton archers are standing on the city wall, and the skeleton soldiers are at the city gate. If we are stopped, we will be screamed by the archers!"

"Two teams of archers, one team of skeleton soldiers..." Elina began to think in her heart.

If she was alone, she would have the confidence to withstand the harassment of the archers and rush past the interception of the skeleton soldiers.But she can't guarantee that Caroline will be safe and sound, unless someone can help her get involved.

But there are only white bones here, and Caroline’s skeleton puppy is useless—thinking of this, Elena suddenly thought of a tall figure, and hurriedly called out: "Caroline, you What about the skeleton you made earlier? Is it still there?"

"Ah Bai?" Caroline tilted her head, and there was another rattling sound from the pile of bones behind her, followed by a tall and strange figure walking out from behind the bones.The heads of the three skeletons rotate 360 ​​degrees at a non-uniform speed, the fire of the soul inside is jumping, and the six arms are waving up and down, as if expressing the joy of reunion.

For a moment, Elena thought that what she was facing was a big dog, not a strange skeleton.

That's the case, but the aura emanating from this skeleton named Abai made Elina dare not underestimate it at all.She looked at the white jade-like bone, stretched out her hand and flicked it lightly, and could feel its hardness.

An idea came to her mind immediately.

A few minutes later, at the gate of Burns South City, a tall three-headed and six-armed skeleton waved its top two arms, and the remaining four arms were like a basket, enclosing the squatting Alina and Caroline. in the arm.

Its two-and-a-half-height, nearly four-meter body is enough for two people to squat in it with peace of mind. Caroline held on to the unactivated hilt, bit her lip, and looked out through the gap between the two arms.

Those skeleton soldiers obviously noticed Ah Bai who was slowly approaching. They were mentally weak and only knew that the "similar" standing in front of them was very different from themselves, but they couldn't tell whether it was an enemy or a friendly army.

The city gate and the outer wall of Burns are getting closer little by little. The outer wall of Burns, which is just a village, is so low that it only takes Abai to stretch out his hand to lift Elena in his arms to the city wall. go up.And Eileen also thought about it in the same way—she stared at the gradually approaching outer wall, watching the long skeleton legs below her cross over the position formed by the skeleton soldiers, and the city wall was in front of her eyes in a blink of an eye.

In an instant, she exerted strength on her legs, leaped vertically towards the city wall, and at the same time swung her arms forward. The crystal blue blade threw out a icy sword light, instantly killing those undead archers who didn't know the enemy was approaching. Three were knocked down.

The undead archers didn't realize it at this time, they turned their directions one after another, and opened their bone bows to aim at Elena.But such a very close distance is not a place where archers can display their power. The arrows fired for a while are weak and weak, and most of them only hit their own people.

And Eileen was moving around among the skeletons, making frequent strikes with the long sword, either chopping down the undead around her or kicking them off the city wall in the blink of an eye.The line of archers on the city wall was torn apart by her in an instant.

She turned to find the winch of the city gate and pulled it vigorously, and the city gate below opened slowly immediately.At this time, the three-headed and six-armed skeleton behind him also swung his honest long legs, kicked the skeleton soldier on the side, and then bent down, supporting the ground with two arms, and the top two arms helped Open the city gate.

Caroline slid down her arms, spread her legs, and ran out quickly, while turning her head and shouting: "Sister Alina, come down quickly, come down quickly!"

Alina immediately ran forward, stepped on the top of the wall and was about to jump off, when she suddenly stopped and screamed: "Caroline, come back, come back!"

On the snowy field outside the city gate that should have been empty, there was a row of dark knights parked at this moment. The swords in their hands were cold, and they were aiming at the girl who was running towards the outside of the city.

Death Knight.

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone

　　I thought about it and wondered if the way the undead entered the northern border would be abrupt [this will be discussed later in the Cyril part, don't worry], but then I thought about the way the orcs appeared in a classic movie, and it seemed to be no problem.

　　Caroline, get ready to explode!
