The students in the encirclement heard the voice, and though they did not know who it was, the voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear. They could not help but trust the owner of the voice. Even Mr. Bear, who was in a frenzy, and Zakum, who was still in a state of fear, regained their senses. Together, they led the rest of the students to the north of the encirclement.
The entire city was now surrounded by a poisonous fog. Without special means to clear it, it would take a long time before the fog dissipated. The students could not enter the city, so they had no choice but to run through the undefended wilderness.
The undead, however, had noticed the students' movements, and they had begun to reinforce their forces to the north. The entire northern side of the city was occupied by the undead, and the students' attempt to break through the encirclement was like a mosquito in front of an elephant.
Such a scene was truly frightening, especially when the students took a few steps forward and did not see the reinforcements that they had imagined. There was only a group of undead blocking in front of them. They were like a black wall that seemed to have no end. It was as if they were going to cut off everyone's hope. The students could not help but slow down. Some of the girls even began to sob softly.
A few exhausted Northerners huddled together, panting heavily as they stared at the bald leader with inquiring eyes. The leader smiled and said, "Even if we die here, we don't want the Southerners to look down on us Northerners. Let's take a breather and get ready to charge!"
Just then, some of the students with keen hearing heard a faint buzzing sound in the air. When they looked up, they saw a golden longsword flying out of the poisonous fog and into the midst of the undead. Then, a golden circle of light spread out from the blade of the sword, and all the undead that came into contact with it were burned to ashes.
When the circle of light dissipated, the undead that had been blocking the way to the north were all gone, and a clear path appeared in front of the students' eyes. The sword had opened up a path that was supposed to be cut off.
"Yes, the students should be safe now." The Engineer Walker, who had come to meet up with the Swordsman and the rest of the Voidwalkers, had a magical screen floating in front of him. It was a live feed of the situation at the frontline that had been sent back by the Scout Marionette. Under the cover of Mr. Bear and the fox, the students had begun to retreat to the north. This was a great relief to the Voidwalkers.
"Look at this sword. He truly deserves the title of Sword Saint." The Little Mage sighed to himself.
It was the Second Voidwalker, the Swordsman, who had appeared out of nowhere during the last years of the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire. However, there were very few historical records about him. Aside from the exaggerated story of him killing 20,000 people with a single slash of his sword, no one knew much about him. Nobody would have thought that after thousands of years, the Swordsman would strike again in such a manner.
The Swordsman channeled his golden combat chi into the longsword that Baiyi had prepared for him and threw it out with all his might. It was a simple move that even a low-level Swordsman could use, but in the Swordsman's hands, it was as powerful as a large-scale forbidden spell. That single slash had killed at least 10,000 undead, and it had opened up a path for the students to escape.
"Maybe the legend of him killing 20,000 people with a single slash was not an exaggeration?" The Engineer Walker asked.
"Humans are not like undead. They won't just stand there and let me kill them," the Swordsman said casually. Although the Swordsman had once again denied the unrealistic legend, he did not deny the fact that he had the power to do so. If those people were as stupid as the undead, who liked to stand still and gather together, the Swordsman would definitely have the power to swing his sword.
"That slash was powerful, but the real trouble is coming …" The Engineer Walker said worriedly. The students were safe for now, but when the undead realized that they had suffered heavy losses, they gave up on this small target and began to command the rest of the legions to march towards Arfin City.
Although the Swordsman's slash was powerful enough to split the sky and the earth, the enemy had the upper hand in terms of numbers.
Arfin City was now completely surrounded by the poisonous fog. Without the protection of the city's walls, it was as fragile as a biscuit. The city's defense force had been completely routed, and the Engineer Walker's army of marionettes was the only thing that could be used. However, there were less than 500 marionettes in total. They were no match for the sea of undead, and they could not even form a complete line of defense.
Moreover, the students outside the city still needed reinforcements.
"The Engineer Walker and I will stay behind to defend the city. The Caveman Walker and the Sorcerer Walker will go and help the students outside," the Swordsman said after a moment of thought. The swordsman thought for a moment and said, "As for the dragon, I'm afraid it has exhausted its energy in the previous exaggerated performance."
"What about you? Didn't you say that you only have enough energy to swing your sword once? "The Engineer Walker asked, a little surprised.
"No, I only used half of it," the Swordsman said calmly. The swordsman said calmly. He picked up an ordinary longsword from the ground and walked toward the direction of the undead's attack.
The other three looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. The engineer quickly followed the swordsman's footsteps and left the scene.
"We're the only ones left. I wonder if this armor can withstand the corrosive effects of the poisonous fog," the Sorcerer Walker said to the Caveman Walker. The Little Magician said to the Caveman. He reached out and knocked on the armor, as if to confirm its reliability. "The poisonous fog is at least a thousand meters wide. I hope you can run faster."
"Why should I run?" The Caveman Walker asked, puzzled. "I'll send you out."
After saying that, a golden shadow suddenly appeared behind the Caveman Walker, grabbed the Sorcerer Walker, and put him on his shoulder.
"What … What are you doing?" the Sorcerer Walker asked, a little flustered.
"Remember to keep your balance in the air," the Caveman Walker said as he threw the Sorcerer Walker as if he was throwing a shot put.
"I should've learned Levitation …" the Sorcerer Walker's voice drifted from afar.
"Hey, it's my turn now." The Caveman mumbled to himself. He looked around and found a tall building — the church's cathedral. Back when Da Xue was flourishing, Arfin City had a large population. Naturally, the development of the church in Arfin City was also very good. For this reason, a new cathedral was built next to the old one, and a tower called the "Stairway of Ascension" was erected. It became a landmark in Arfin City.
However, at this time, there were piles of refugees gathered outside the new church, and it had completely lost its usual holy and elegant appearance. Barbarian stepped on the roofs of other people's houses and hopped outside the church. Looking at the tall tower, he chuckled, and with a push of his feet, he jumped up.
Then, he climbed all the way to the top of the tower and looked into the distance. He did not see where the Sorcerer Walker had been thrown to, but he saw a small group of Death Knights chasing after the students. So, he shouted in the Barbarian language, "Don't be afraid! I'm coming! "
As he said that, he kicked off the top of the tower and jumped in that direction. Because he had used too much strength, the entire tower shook slightly. Huge cracks appeared on the ground where he had been standing, and they even spread all the way to the tower. A few pieces of debris from the crack fell and crushed two unlucky students to death.
Fortunately, the tower itself was still very strong, and it still stood tall.
The Caveman Walker, who was flying in the air, accurately adjusted his landing point and smashed into the middle of the group of Death Knights like a cannonball. For a moment, a huge crater appeared on the ground, and the Death Knights who were trying to chase after the students were trapped in it.
What followed next was a show of violence that did not need to be described. The Caveman Walker did not use any weapons. He only used his bare hands, and in a few breaths, he tore a group of Death Knights into pieces.
At the same time, the Sorcerer Walker, who had been thrown away by the Caveman Walker, suddenly felt a series of violent energy fluctuations coming from afar. Among them, there were a few that he was quite familiar with, such as the fluctuations of the Warrior's Ice Flame Combat Chi.
"What's going on? Aren't they in the Duat realm? " The Sorcerer Walker was a little puzzled, but because of the fierce battle, the waves of energy fluctuations came one after another, making him a little worried. He quickly took out an expensive Single Teleportation Scroll from his storage bag and teleported in that direction.
The next scene was the scene where he met the Scholar Walker.
"What about Arfin City? Was it safe in the end? " Baiyi did not want to continue watching. He had more or less understood the situation, and all he needed to know was the result.
"Yes, it was safe. After all, the Swordsman still had a sword," the Engineer Walker said helplessly. The Engineer Walker said helplessly, his voice full of heartache. "In order to unleash the full power of the sword, he forced me to send out a large number of marionettes to attract the enemy's attention. In the end, the undead gathered in one place, and with one slash, the city was quiet. The people and Da Xue were unharmed, but my marionettes! So many new models and prototypes were destroyed by that one slash! That was the accumulation of ten years of the Engineering Faculty! They're all gone! "
"Ahem. It's fine if it's just the financial loss," Baiyi said calmly. He then asked, "What happened after that? How did the overlapping realms break? "
"Well, you'll have to ask your two precious daughters about that," the Scholar Walker said.
