Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 524 Withering and Desolation

The wooden fence was as brittle as a piece of paper in front of the iron hook. The moment there was a crackling sound, the iron hook had pierced through the wooden fence and flew straight towards Caroline who was sitting not far away.

The cold iron chain was reflected in Elena's beautiful eyes, she gritted her teeth, and swung the long sword in that direction with her right hand, trying to cut the iron chain halfway.

But how could the distance of several meters be crossed so easily, she could only watch the huge iron hook fly towards Caroline, as if she could already see the little girl's head shatter like a blasted watermelon in the next second scene.

The moment the iron hook was about to fly to Caroline's head, she even closed her eyes in pain, not daring to look directly at what would happen in the next scene.

But the sound that should be heard—whether it was the sound of the iron hook smashing the flesh, or the miraculous sound of her long sword cutting the iron chain, did not sound.

She felt the tip of her nose feel chilly. This coolness did not come from the cold wind, but a coolness that seemed to rise from the depths of her body and was about to cover her whole body.

Alina opened her eyes, this simple action made her feel a little scared for no reason.She didn't know whether she was afraid of seeing the tragedy that might happen, or because she might see some other indescribable things.

However, when Elena really saw what was happening in front of her, she realized that the shock that what happened before her eyes could bring her far exceeded her imagination.

The pale snow, the billowing fog, and the surrounding background made no difference.But when Ben was sitting within ten meters of the girl sitting on the snow, everything in that area, whether it was snow or fog, was coated with a strange color—it seemed to be gray, but it was so much different from her. Compared with the gray that I have been seeing all day, it is more "tragic", like a vortex, as long as you look at it more, you will be forced to fall into it...

At this time, she was already deeply trapped in that vortex, surrounded by a piece of greasy stuff, which made her feel as if she was tightly entangled by the Weeping Ice Vine that time.The slippery thing squirmed on her body, sinking deeper and deeper, she wanted to scream, but she couldn't make a sound, she could only let the chill engulf her whole body...

"Desloat...ze vealwelkan..."

The eerie croon sounded directly in her mind.Alina was sure that she had heard this voice countless times, but it was so different from what she was familiar with.It was deeper, more mature, with a little hoarseness, inexplicably reminding her of the dim light in the corner of the tavern, holding the wine glass with her cheeks, sipping one mouthful after another.The light fell on her silver-white long hair, flowing like a waterfall, and the tip of her tongue licked her moist red lips...

wait, that's...

Caroline?
At this moment, this weird feeling disappeared, whether it was the chill or the suffocation of being dragged into the vortex, all disappeared at this moment.She even thought that she had just hallucinated, and hastily stretched out her hand to touch her body back and forth a few times.

Alina came back to her senses immediately, and she looked forward again. The gray patch really existed, but the uncomfortable feeling was gone.

And in the middle of the gray, the little girl who was sitting before had already stood up, the iron hook hovered in front of her, and the long sword thrown by Elena also stopped in mid-air flying towards the middle of the iron chain.

Both of them are covered with gray.

Then, she stretched out her hand forward, pointed her delicate fingers on the iron hook, and poked lightly——

"Crack!"

The iron hook and the iron chain suddenly shattered into countless small gray-black pieces, which fell on the snow under their feet.Immediately there was a piercing scream not far away. Alina swore that she had never heard such an ugly cry. It was a mixture of countless sounds in the most uncomfortable range, and the mixed cry——

It was a cry of hatred.

She turned her head to look at the source of the cry, but saw that the owner of the iron hook intended to hurt little Caroline's abominable body, the gray was spreading rapidly, covering its whole body in the blink of an eye.

It struggled to twist its body to shake off the gray layer from itself, but it didn't help.When the layer of gray was completely covered, its movements completely stopped——

The body, which was completely stitched together from rotten flesh, shattered.

The gray-black pieces fell off its body one by one, and fell into the snow in just two short breaths. The abominable head that was so majestic just now had already turned into gray pieces on the ground.

Alina opened her mouth slightly, still unable to accept what happened in front of her eyes - what is it all?Did Caroline do this?How did she do all this?Danya above, who am I and where am I?
She didn't even notice that her long sword slowly flew back in front of her, and even stuffed it into her palm intimately.

Not far away, the color of the eyes of the little girl with short white hair and messy hair was constantly switching between brown and red, and at the same time, two voices were arguing with each other:

"See, withering and desolation—this is the great power that death can bestow on you, far surpassing the rest..." The mature voice that had been crooning before was seductive, just listening to this voice made people feel inexplicable Blood boils.

But the voice of Caroline, who was much more immature, didn't give her face at all. She muttered and interrupted the other voice: "Oh, you are so wordy, I know you are very good, but you only use it so little .If it were Cyril, there would be no such danger at all, and those uncles would not die..."

As she was talking, she suddenly became sad and wailed: "Don't brag about death to me, you can't bring people back to life, there are so many people in this position, you can't You can only protect me and Sister Alina, what use are you for?"

The mature voice was extremely embarrassed by her soft crying and blame, and was silent for a moment, then let out a sigh:
"Well, I'll let you see it. Remember, this is to give you a taste of the greatness of death, not to help you—"

With this sigh, Caroline raised her hands and patted them lightly.

Then, over the sky above the first position, there were two soft sounds faintly:

"Da da."

--------

The soldiers of the Bright Wing Infantry Regiment were still retreating, but the rate of reduction far exceeded their imagination.Running fast does not mean that they can escape from dangerous places. The hateful iron hook behind them can easily smash their bodies.

But those who run slowly have no chance. The bad smell around them can make them faint immediately, and then they are killed by the poisonous gas.What's more, there are those ghouls, they follow the abomination and rush into the crowd, easily killing the soldiers of the Bright Wing Infantry who are avoiding the iron hooks and poisonous gas.

But after few of their comrades fell down, the soldiers realized that they might not be able to escape.Then the cry rang out among the soldiers:

"Simon, Matthew, Olier, Jonas, you continue to flee to the rear. Liszt, Abner, follow me!"

A middle-aged soldier yelled loudly, and when his voice fell, objections immediately came from around:
"Just kidding, Captain Murphy, how is this possible..."

The young soldier beside him named Simon immediately shouted: "If we want to turn back, we must turn back..."

"Shut up! I order you to retreat immediately!" The middle-aged soldier named Murphy twisted his face and pushed Simon who was slowing down beside him.The latter staggered forward a few steps, and when he turned his head again, he saw that Murphy had turned around without hesitation, raised his long sword, and greeted the coalition of hate and ghouls.

At the same time, among the retreating soldiers, several soldiers whose names were called by Murphy turned their heads and made the same movements as Murphy—they were generally older, and they were all of the age of the Bright Wing Infantry Regiment. The largest group lived in the Tower of the North Wind not far away, with wives and children at home...

But at this moment, they resolutely let the young soldiers retreat, blocking the iron hooks and sharp claws of the abomination and the ghoul with their bodies!

"For Huiyi, for Snowy Owl!"

Murphy roared, his face flushed red, he vigorously raised the shield in his left hand, and the sharp claws of the ghoul hit it, making a "bang" sound, making his whole body almost crooked.But he immediately used this force to turn his body, and slashed the sword in his right hand towards the weaker neck of the ghoul.

Black blood spurted out from where the sword cut, but the sword failed to cut off the ghoul's head.With a thump in his heart, Murphy realized that the angle of his falling sword was a little crooked, and he couldn't accurately cut at the most vulnerable part of the neck, which had a similar structure to the human body.

It was because of this sword's slash that the ghoul that was about to fall swung another claw from Murphy's right side, and this time, he was unable to dodge.

"Nina, Pine, goodbye—" He said the names of his wife and son in his heart, gritted his teeth and poured all his strength into the sword, trying to use his last strength to cut off the ghoul's head .But the speed of the sharp claw was obviously faster. Seeing that the sharp nails were about to scratch his throat, Murphy opened his eyes wide, but found that the sharp claw actually stopped in midair——

"laugh!"

Black blood sprayed out as the ghoul's head fell, covering Murphy's face, but the stench was far more wonderful than death.

He was gasping for breath, before realizing what happened, his body subconsciously dodged to the other side.He remembered clearly that just now there was an abomination standing not far away, and the iron hook was about to be swung at him.

But there was no sound of the iron chain, and he looked up, and the abomination stood motionless, even putting down the hand with the hook.

What are they doing?
He was still wondering in his heart, but his body suddenly shook—two clear and crisp sounds broke into his mind unreasonably, he felt that his soul didn't seem like his own anymore, and all his mind was in an instant. In the middle, there are only those two characters echoing:
"clatter."

"clatter."

Like a thunder that tore through a spring night, Murphy felt a strange movement suddenly coming from his feet.He recovered from the shock of the sound, lowered his head, only to see a white bone pushing away the snow covering it from his feet, and stood up slowly.

He was startled, and was about to chop it down with a sword, but then he found that more and more bodies stood up around him - among them were the skeletons that rushed into their position two days ago and were confirmed to be killed by them , but not only that.

He saw bodies in blue-gray armor standing up. Those were the corpses of soldiers from Swipayi's army. They had died under the impact of skeletons before, and the corpses had not even had time to be transported from the position during the days of fighting. Walk.They all still hold weapons in their hands, and their complete or incomplete heads are all looking in the direction of the undead position.

Wait, that's... Lei Zhe and Eden?

He was surprised to find the figures in the armor of their Bright Wing Infantry Regiment mixed in the blue-gray armor. The familiar profiles or backs made him almost blurt out their names, but they had obviously fought before. Dead, how can stand up again at this time?

In a few breaths of time, the originally empty position was full of standing bodies.Murphy looked forward, only to realize that the abominations and ghouls had turned around long before the bodies of the dead stood up, and they were also facing the position of the undead——

This is... the Necromancer?Or the handwriting of the Lich?But why are they all facing the direction of the undead position?
Murphy was still wondering, these dead people had already opened their legs and moved towards the direction of the undead camp.

"Murphy, are you okay?" A soldier shouted not far away, and Murphy responded blankly, his eyes still fixed on the front—the undead creatures were still advancing towards their positions in a steady stream. Seeing that they were about to collide with this group of undead walking out of their positions.

Murphy's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and then he screamed out:
"Danya, what is this, what is this!"

The undead on the opposite side obviously haven't realized what the group of "colleagues" walking out of the position are, but the abominations walking out of the position have stopped in unison. They raised their hands neatly and waved the iron chain without any hesitation. The ground ran through the first row of ghouls!
"This group of undead, this group of undead has been instigated, they are our people!"

The young soldier named Simon called out first, his voice mixed with joy and panic.Murphy reacted and immediately began to reorganize the retreat - although these undead are still helping them, who knows if they will suddenly turn back?
Let them dog eat dog!

But before he could take two steps, he felt the ground tremble violently, causing his weak body to almost fall directly.Murphy thought it was the fat abominations that jumped in place, and the moment he turned his head, he opened his mouth wide in surprise:
From the height of the vast mist, nearly ten meters above the ground, an extremely huge skull protruded.

The skull looked down and shook his head slowly, as if laughing at the defected undead below.

Then its white bone body over ten meters stepped out of the mist, and stepped on the undead cluster walking out of the position.The hatred was like a toy in front of it, without even the slightest resistance, it was blown into a ball of minced meat.

"Danya... on top..." Murphy's eyes widened, his voice trembling uncontrollably, and then he shouted: "Run, run, it's a giant beast, it's a giant beast!"

And not far behind them, the white-haired girl raised her head, her eyes were filled with scarlet.

Then, the corners of his mouth curled up.
