Alien Knights

Chapter 62: Invaders from the North

   Standing on the square, the soldier closest to the white cloth suddenly noticed something under his feet from the corner of his eye. Just about to look down, a huge force knocked him to the ground. After a while, several violent figures pounced on him. The blood mixed with screams, the sudden scene stunned everyone in place.

   "The dead body is back!"

   "The devil controlled their bodies!"

   "They will devour our souls!"

   Wilder drew out the long sword from his waist, kicked the "puppet" that flew up, and shouted at the soldiers beside him: "Back! Back! Get away from the corpses! Form a battle!"

   The knight who gave out loud instructions played a key role in this chaos. The soldiers found the backbone in the battle, and more and more people retreated to the edge of the square, forming a semi-circular line of defense.

  If their opponents are vicious bandits or heretics who believe in evil gods, it might be better. However, the faces of the enemy were those who had fought hand in hand with them, which caused the soldiers to gradually fall into a bitter battle.

A middle-aged soldier, looking at the infected person who was walking towards him with a pale face on the opposite side, tears in tears, and the long sword in his hand fell blankly, opened his arms in despair, and said in his mouth: "The only one facing me The younger brother waved his weapon...I can't do it..." A few seconds later, the "puppet" threw him down, and a candle of life was extinguished.

   Combatants on the front, looking at the face of the enemy on the opposite side, or giving up resistance, or turning to flee, were able to pluck up the courage and attack fewer and fewer people.

   And those soldiers who fell, quickly became the new "puppets" under the control of the "Hive". The ratio of the numbers of the enemy and us was balanced little by little, and even changed in the direction of reversal.

"Damn! You idiots! Fools! These guys on the opposite side are no longer our comrades, they are enemies! Raise yours..." Wilde waved his sword and chopped off the head of an infected person, trying to find When the next target was attacked, the figure approaching him in his field of vision made him stop talking and stop his figure: "...Sir Adams...Sir..."

   Looking at the "puppet" who was once the castle commander, walking towards his friend step by step, Alfonso yelled anxiously, but the weapon was firmly grasped by three or four enemies and could not move.

   The situation on the battlefield is getting worse and worse.

At this moment, Todela stood on the high platform of the square with Karin, took off his cloak, and put down his hood. The priest's robe was particularly conspicuous in the fire. He held the cross high and shouted to the soldiers: "Father Almighty! We are gathered together in your name, please save us from evil, and let the sword and flame redeem the souls of these fallen ones! Amen!"

  A soldier immediately recognized the identity of the prayer: "It's Father Todd!"

   "The Son of God is here!"

   "The Lord has come to save us!"

   "Heavenly Father is here! Let the Holy Light save the souls of brothers!"

   The long sword was swung, the sword and axe danced, and the heads flew into the air.

   The battle was quickly under control, and the "puppets" were quickly encircled and wiped out to no more.

   Knight Wilder put down the long sword in his hand, looked at the head of Sir Adams at his feet, took a few breaths, and then ordered his subordinates to count the number of people. Seventeen more people lost their lives, most of them died in the first wave of confrontation.

Alfonso walked to Todd and bowed his head respectfully towards the priest: "For public and private, I owe you a favor..." Todd was about to say something, but was interrupted by a voice on the wall. Discourse.

   "Oh my God! North! North!"

  The soldier who was looking at the sentry post pointed his finger in the direction of the mountains, shuddering all over, unable to speak.

   The two knights looked at each other, took their weapons, and ran up the city wall along the stone steps. The first glance they looked north made them feel cold!

   torches, countless torches!

   winding down the foothills in the dark, the direction of travel is the fortress at the foot!

The muscles on Wilder's face twitched a few times, and suddenly he remembered something. He yelled frantically at the dumbfounded sentinel: "Bell! Bastard! Ring the bell quickly! The northern barbarians have invaded!" Resounding over the entire Watch Fort, the soldiers who had just recovered from the battle lifted their weapons, put on armor, and hurried up the city wall, looking for their respective holding positions.

   Alfonso looked at the defenders entering the combat position, his eyes full of anxiety.

   The number of soldiers is too small...The original fortress's garrison strength should be around 225 people, but now it seems that there are not even a hundred and twenty people. There are quite a lot of empty sections on the city wall, and it is in an embarrassing situation that no one is defending.

   Seeing the old friend's worry, Wilder, who was very ridiculous, didn't look worried. He patted the other person on the shoulder and motioned him to look at the suspension bridge of the castle facing the north.

"This castle is built on a cliff. It is the only way from the north to the south. Look there, can you see it?" Wilder pointed to the huge ravine in front of the suspension bridge: "There is a natural gorge, and there is a deep abyss below. If the suspension bridge is not let down, no more savages can get in!"

   Boom!

   The triumphant smile has not faded from the beard's face, and there is a deafening metal crash from the top of the fortress, causing everyone to close their eyes and cover their ears unconsciously.

   Due to the excessive noise, Alfonso could only ask Wilder with a roar: "What's the matter?!"

   The other party looked at the source of the sound—the winch room above the suspension bridge, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com's face was pale and his lips trembled: "Someone is destroying the winch of the suspension bridge!"

  ————————

   Alfonso ran in the front, followed by Leslie, Todd and Karin. The sound of metal clashing in his ears made him anxious and reminded him of what Wilder had just said.

  『It is a room called the winch room that controls the Fortress Suspension Bridge. In it, there are four huge winches wrapped around four iron chains. Together, these four chains pull up the suspension bridge of the fortress. If all four winches are destroyed, the suspension bridge of the castle will be completely lowered and a bridge will be built on the gully. The barbarians in the north will be able to follow the bridge and enter the watchtower. At that time, everything is over..."

   A harsh cracking sound made everyone's ears tighten, and the first iron chain broke.

   "Hurry up!" Alfonso waved to the person behind him with his big sword on his back.

   ran along the city wall to the source of the sound, Todd's heart began to make a complete analysis of the whole incident before and after.

   This small town infection attack looked like a terrorist attack on the residents, but it was actually a carefully planned invasion war.

First, parasites were used to cause chaos in the town and weakened the strength of the watchtower; then the "puppets" gathered at the southern gate were used to attract the attention of the guards; the second was to change the control object and order the corpses of the guards in the castle. Attack the remaining defenders; finally, taking advantage of the fighting gap in the fort, sneak into the winch room, cut the chain, lower the suspension bridge, and enter the fort by the barbarians from the north.

   Just thinking of this, there was another piercing crack in the distance, making everyone aware of one thing.

   The time left for them is running out...
