Riding and Slashing

Chapter 369 Maltis is an ally?
dawn.

When the first light came, fierce fighting was still raging in Sarleon.

Countless undead are still surrounding Sarleon City, even climbing the city walls like ants.

These originally sluggish walking corpses all became lively after the golden light came on. Not only were they powerful, but they also seemed to be more flexible than living people.

But fortunately, they have no siege equipment, no superb skills, and no decent weapons—these undead were just ordinary civilians buried in the ground before they were alive, and they were not warriors.

There is no way to attack these messy walking dead, and the city of Sarleon is sure to be able to hold it.

So far, none of the undead can successfully climb the city wall. After all, the soldiers in the city are all elites that are rare in the entire continent.

The bottom of the city wall is basically covered with stumps and broken arms.

But there were too many undead, and the soldiers in the city couldn't rush out.

At this time, outside the west gate of Lion City, an unusual army came.

This troop is not large in number, only about two hundred people, all wearing uniform half-covered helmets, only revealing their snow-white chins.

All seemed to be women.

They are all wearing cyan battle armor, the battle armor looks very old, but the obvious Snake Cult texture and exquisite embossed marks can still be seen.

The imprint is a poisonous snake stretching its body in the cloud patterns.

"Legion of Dread...that's Maltis and the Viper Pioneer..."

The well-informed Ramon whispered something.

This guy has good eyesight and can see clearly from 300 meters away.

Everyone froze for a moment, then frowned together.

None of them have seen Maltis, but they have all heard of the Dread Legion—it must not be a good phenomenon to meet the Dread Legion at this time...

"Li Ang! Li Ang is on her horse!"

Wendy suddenly cried out excitedly.

Her focus is always on Li Ang.

And Martis is also carefully looking at Wendy at this moment. Under the half-covered helmet, her eyes are the same as Wendy Erfu's, which are rich purple.

After watching for a while, Martis suddenly laughed silently.

She raised the sword in her hand and pointed at Sarleon City.

There was a panic on the city wall, and the leaders of the various knight orders began to dispatch troops nervously.

The Legion of Dread is famous, and it is said that each horn viper vanguard has the combat power of the Twilight Knight, and most importantly, they are probably immortal, and must have terrible power—everyone can realize that they must It's the undead.

Because the messy undead outside the city did not attack them...

Those miscellaneous undead without weapons are not scary, no matter how many there are, they will not pose too much threat, but if two hundred super masters of the Twilight Knight level are mixed in, it will be completely different...

The terrifying level of Vendatil in Kewen Village is still vivid in my memory. Imagine two hundred Vendatil appearing on the battlefield at the same time...

Everyone was furious.

"How come...they are killing those undead?!"

Wendy suddenly cried out in surprise.

With Sadylan here, Wendy didn't need to arrange troops, she kept staring at Maltis—to be more precise, she kept staring at Leon.

But she saw that Maltis himself was walking slowly towards Sarleon City, while all the horn viper pioneers rushed into the crowd of undead, and began to slash and kill...

"I'm afraid it's just to kill those walking dead who stand in her way..."

Lisa Dilan turned his head and took a look.

Sure enough, those undead didn't attack Maltis, they had no sanity, and they kept surrounding Sarleon City, packed tightly.

And those horn viper pioneers were only listed in two rows, it seemed that they were just trying to cut a passage for Maltis to get close to Sarleon City.

Maltis was slowly approaching Sarleon City, less than 200 meters away from the city wall.

She kept staring at Wendy, and she seemed to see no one else.

Wendy was also standing on the city wall condescendingly, this distance was already within Wendy's range.

Wendy picked up the bow, but hesitated, she didn't know whether to shoot the arrow or not.

She realized that Maltis had been staring at her, but he didn't seem hostile?

She was the forerunner of all the archers on the wall, and neither did the Noldor-guard nor the Rangers of the Silvermist.

"I'm the garrison general Martis... What's your name, child?"

At this moment, Maltis spoke suddenly, and it was obviously aimed at Wendy.

The voice was hoarse, but it sounded full of kindness, and there seemed to be a hint of joy.

"I... My name is Wendy Erfu... Can you put Leon back? How is he doing now?"

Wendy was a little panicked, but she could feel that Maltis didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, so she hurriedly tried to see if she could save Leon.

"Wendy... Is this the Li Ang you're talking about?"

Martis pointed to Li Ang who was lying on the horse's back: "He should be dead..."

"what?!"

Everyone on the city wall was stunned at the same time.

Although everyone is mentally prepared for this, it is still difficult to accept this result.

A line of tears flowed from Wendy's eyes, she stopped talking, raised the bow in her hand, and aimed at Maltis.

"Son, you shouldn't point your bow and arrow at me... As a Sindarin, you shouldn't be sad for a small human being, you should come with me..."

Maltis completely ignored Wendy's bow and arrow, and still spoke to Wendy gently.

Wendy didn't respond, and shot out with an arrow.

Noldo's arrow went straight to Maltis' head.

But Maltis just casually raised his hand, and this condescending arrow was actually caught by Maltis with his hand...

This is a guy stronger than Aldalion...

Wendy dropped the bow and took out a grenade from her waist.

But she had just lit the fuse of the grenade when she heard a faint sound.

"What the hell... I'm so dizzy..."

Leon's voice?
Wendy looked up.

Li Ang was clutching his head and rolling off Maltis's horse.

He rolled to the ground, sat up reluctantly, shook his head, looked around, and looked like he had just woken up.

"Lee Ang!"

Wendy yelled happily.

"Wendy! Throw it away!"

Lisa Dilan beside him also yelled in horror...

Wendy was still holding the ignited grenade in her hand, and the fuse was basically burned out...

Wendy hastily threw the thing in her hand down the city wall.

Just a second after the shot, the grenade exploded in the air before it could hit the ground.

It just happened to blow up a few undead who were climbing the wall...

"Awakened magician? Hahaha, Sindarui did not perish!"

Maltis's voice was even more pleasant: "Wentyrph, child...follow me!"

"It's obvious that Wendy can't get out, there are so many undead blocking her, how can she go with you..."

Li Ang, who was sitting on the ground, seemed to understand the current situation under the sound of the grenade explosion, and made a complaint in time.

"You woke up so quickly?...Who the hell are you?"

Maltis looked at Li Ang, a little surprised.

"Hurry up and kill these walking dead..."

Li Ang covered his head and stood up.

He wasn't very flustered, because at the moment when he just woke up, when he rolled off Maltis's horse, he saw the water drops on the lower edge of the helmet from under Maltis' half helmet.

It was the drops of water condensed in the helmet from the breath exhaled from the mouth and nose.

Li Ang himself often uses face-covered helmets or half-covered helmets, and he is too familiar with this situation.

And this situation means an obvious fact - Martis is neither an undead nor a fallen person, she is still alive and needs to breathe!
As long as she was alive, she had nothing to fear, even if she was a Sindarin.

At the same time, he also felt that Martis might not be under Kavala's control at all—she didn't look like she was being driven at all just now.

Maltis looked at Li Ang, then at Wendy on the city wall, raised his sword again, and rushed towards the undead below the city.

But this time, the horn viper pioneers who were originally lined up in two columns also dispersed to both sides, and started the real killing.

Of course, maybe this is not considered killing—the undead outside the city are already dead bodies, and this can only be regarded as cleaning up these unclean things.

Like mowing grass, rows of undead had their heads chopped off and fell to the ground.

Outside the Lion City, an open space was quickly opened up.

These undead will not attack Maltis and the horned viper vanguard, they did not fight back at all, and even did not respond when Maltis chopped off their heads - as if Maltis' troops did not exist for them at all .

Similarly, they did not attack Li Ang, as if Li Ang was also of the same kind...

Li Ang has no fighting power now, and he didn't go up to participate in the battle - and there is no need to participate in the battle. Maltis is directly in front of him, and two teams of horned viper pioneers are on his left and right sides. They are slashing and killing. Li Ang, who is protected in the middle, seems to be afraid The boss of the Legion.

Maltis is killing the undead outside the city, which seems a bit unbelievable. What he thought was a strong enemy, but now he has become a friendly army?

The soldiers in the city were stunned for a while, and they didn't react until Martis cut an open space near the city gate and Sir Roland shouted "Breakout".

The gate of the city was opened, and a large force left the city, and cooperated with Maltis's horn viper vanguard to clean up these walking corpses.

At this time, on the north side of Sarleon City, more than ten miles away, 'Ulrik' wearing a golden armor is moving towards Sarleon City at a leisurely pace.

……

With the 'help' of the fearful legion that would not be attacked by the undead, the undead outside the west gate of Sarleon City were quickly cleared away, and all those clinging to the city wall were stabbed down.

"Leon, are you okay?"

Wendy walked out of the city with the Noldor guards, but still cautiously kept a distance from Maltis.

But Martis didn't show any hostility, she just didn't want to contact humans—probably she really regarded humans as inferior creatures from the bottom of her heart.

However, she maintained a friendly attitude towards Li Ang.

"I don't know...but I can be sure, at least I'm alive."

Li Ang wasn't sure if there was anything wrong with him. He thought he was going to die, but after being in a coma for a night, he miraculously came back to life.

But he could feel that his condition was a little abnormal-or return to normal...

It's contradictory, but true.

He lost the slow heartbeat of the Noldor elves, and returned to his original state... the state of a pure human being when he was not saved by Wendy.

Moreover, he lost the powerful perception he got from the void.

He couldn't feel the movement two miles away...

It was as if everything had returned to the way it was when he had just left Mistcage City.

"You died once, and then you were resurrected and controlled by someone... just like me..."

Martis looked at Li Ang and said, "Aziz Dahaka's holy light can kill the living and bring the dead back to life... and you and I, we have died once, so you are the same as me. , back to the original state..."

"Do you know that you were once controlled by Kavala?"

Li Ang looked at Martis, who had already taken off his helmet at this time, revealing his fair face.

The face is delicate and beautiful, but there seems to be a sharpness to it.

She was supposed to be a soldier, and she looked a lot like Vendatil—and she probably had a similar combat ability and personality.

"I know. He was the one who found me and coerced me into signing the soul agreement. He wanted to completely control me, and he needed my magic...or in other words, he needed someone who could cast spells."

Maltis nodded and replied: "I have been controlled by him for 300 years, and now I am finally free... So I have to thank you, human beings, I know that you brought Aziz Dahaka near me-although you did not Know what that is, but you did actually save me..."

Maybe out of a little gratitude to Leon, maybe to let Wendy know some history, Maltis told her own story.

Martis is the High Lord of the Sindarin Empire, an Archmage, and General of the last garrison.

At that time, the civil war among the Sindarí was so extreme that countless elves were dying every minute.

After the rebels clearly gained the upper hand, the Sindarin Empire launched a 'Holy Light Project'.

The plan is to implement a Jedi counterattack.

They made some ultimate weapons codenamed 'Azid Dahaka'.

This weapon, if unleashed, would kill countless beings, but at the same time, resurrect those who had just died.

Life is also a kind of energy, and any energy is subject to a certain law of conservation, and the same is true for magic power or divine art.

Where there is life, there will be death. This weapon uses the death of the living in exchange for the resurrection of the dead.

This is a kind of exchange, essentially an equal exchange of energy, which is completely different from ordinary magic, otherwise even the Sindari elves would not be able to create such a weapon.

Since this is a forbidden technique that requires a huge price, no one dared to use it before—only a powerful wizard can use this thing, but the wizard himself is a living person, and if he uses it, he will die. Who would dare to try it?

Originally, the imperial army was planning to let the general who was already in a certain death situation come to the battlefield when his troops were killed in large numbers by the rebels when they finally faced defeat...

Then, the enemy will die, and your own people will live—won’t the situation of the battle be completely reversed?

Maltis is one of the generals responsible for implementing the ultimate weapon. Her duty is to always be ready to sacrifice for the empire.

But what is unexpected is that at the stage of not actually implementing it, something happened to this ultimate plan.

Before the final decisive battle began, many 'Az Dahaka' were detonated in advance-this thing is unstable, and it needs the blood of Noldor to maintain stability. Once the storage environment is not suitable, it is easy to go off.

The accidental explosion of this kind of "flammable and explosive items" produced a series of explosions covering the entire continent. As a result, a large number of magicians died instantly, resurrected instantly, and then died again...

Who can bear this, so the magic power in the bodies of the Sindari elves was also stimulated, producing all kinds of terrifying magic power fluctuations...

As a result, the two sides were completely wiped out before the decisive battle started.

All kinds of violent surges of magic power triggered endless storms, which lasted for hundreds of years in Wengedarian continent.

The entire continent was completely destroyed.
