PS: Thank you to Situ Junmo for the two rewards. Thank you very much!
PS2. Two updates today! The second update was at night.
Grismori River, riverside, Turis Castle.
Duke Bodrick of Bordero was standing on the high city wall. Behind him stood dozens of Sea God Knights. His deputy, Sir Houlf, who was also the deputy commander of the Sea God Knights, was standing behind him.
The Duke looked into the distance and saw an army of vampires. Among them, the endless army of zombies occupied the entire field of vision. However, the Duke was not worried about these things. The zombies only needed to charge and they would be crushed by the knights. Even the soldiers made up of serfs could easily defeat these walking corpses.
What Bodrick was really afraid of were the several brigades of Graveyard Guards. These Undead Warriors wore rusty breastplates and held rusty weapons, equipped with shields, swords, and halberds. The arrows shot by the ordinary Serf Archers couldn't hurt these powerful Undead Warriors at all. In close combat, the Serf Infantry was no match for these powerful Undead Warriors. Bodrick had to rely on the protection of the city wall and the bravery of the Knights.
The Vampire Army had a large number of people, but they lacked siege weapons. Bodrick's army was smaller in number, but they had high walls and deep trenches. Both sides were in a stalemate. Every day, the Vampire Army would attack the city at night and stop fighting during the day. The reversal of day and night made the Human Army feel miserable. The Undead didn't need to rest, but the Human Army did.
"The Undead are here again." Bodrick noticed that the zombie army was on the move again. These walking corpses lacked any defense, so they just used their legs to move forward. If it was only a small group, the charge of the Sea God Knights would be able to tear them apart like a rag.
But in the face of thousands of Undead Warriors, the only thing Bodrick could do was to defend to the death. Any Knight who fell into such a vast sea would inevitably die.
The walls of Turis Castle were tall enough. The white stone walls were more than ten meters high. Although the Undead had made simple siege ladders, there were only a few who could rush up the walls. On the wide walls, the Serf Infantry and Serf Archers were nervously preparing for battle. Most of them looked tired and malnourished. The sergeants hurriedly ran on the walls. "Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle! Soldiers, show your courage! His Excellency the Duke is watching us from behind! "
Exhausted, the serfs had to stand up and prepare for battle. During the day, they had to repair the castle, burn the corpses, and check the equipment, so they didn't have much time to rest. But at night, they had to fight continuously. The long-term pressure almost made the malnourished bodies of the serfs collapse.
"Fight! Fight! " Even so, the serfs still raised their spears and picked up their bows and arrows, ready to fight. Even the most cowardly serfs would erupt with great courage when their homes were threatened.
"Fire!!"
Thousands of serf archers drew their short bows, and a dense rain of arrows flew from the city wall. The zombies at the front of the terrifying zombie tide fell like wheat being cut.
However, there wasn't any joy on Bodrick's face. The Duke knew clearly that the zombies weren't dead, but had temporarily lost control after being injured. As long as the Necromancer regained control, the zombies would continue to stand up.
The zombie tide rushed to the bottom of the city wall like a flood. The supervising Blood Knights and graveyard guards shouted, and several ladders rose from the zombie tide. There was a graveyard guard standing at the top of each ladder. They didn't need to adapt to gravity at all.
The first ladder leaned against the city wall. The graveyard guard standing at the top of the ladder jumped onto the city wall, and with a sweep, several serf archers were killed on the spot.
"Close combat!" Bodrick immediately roared.
"Close combat!" The soldiers on the city wall shouted, and the serf archers hurriedly retreated in disarray. Groups of spearmen raised their spears and roared as they approached. They wore simple leather armor, and only a few of them had breastplates. The densely packed spear formation rushed forward, and the graveyard guard's body was instantly pierced by seven or eight spears. It screamed and fell off the city wall.
A large number of ranger knights rushed forward and killed the lone graveyard guards one by one.
"One, two, three, push!" Under the command of the Sea God Knight, the infantrymen used all their strength to overturn the ladders. The zombies that were still climbing up the ladders fell in droves.
On top of the tall tower inside the castle, the catapult's noose was constantly rotating. Huge rocks were thrown out by the catapult's long arms, attacking the enemies outside the castle. The huge rocks crushed a group of zombies every time they were thrown.
In the vampire camp a few miles away from the castle, the Blood Red Duke anxiously watched the fierce battle in Turisse Castle. He kept roaring, releasing his hatred and pressure. His emotions were filled with rage. It had been many days, but he still couldn't break through Turisse Castle.
If he couldn't break through Turisse Castle, how could he attack Bordero?
The flood summoned by the Lake Fairy did have a huge impact on the Duke of Connaught's territory. The Blood Red Duke spent a few months to raise this army, but a large number of siege weapon workshops and tombs were destroyed by the flood. His army lacked powerful siege weapons, so he couldn't break through Turisse Castle.
Dozens of Blood Knights stood behind the Blood Red Duke. They were the key to the outcome of this battle. The Blood Red Duke wisely didn't act rashly. He was waiting for reinforcements.
Blood Knight Merovin was leading hundreds of Undead Knights. Merovin used to be a Duke of Musilon, but he fell and became an Undead. He was defeated and cursed by the Lake Fairy Witch of that generation.
It would be a long story to tell about the fall of the former Duke and the terrible story he had created. Like the Blood Red Duke, he had a blood feud with the Knight Kingdom. He had once killed the Knight King with his own hands, but he was still defeated by the Holy Grail Knights led by the Lake Goddess Witch.
Now that Morgiana was heavily injured, Merovin could finally see the light of day again. He was revived and became another Blood Knight.
"We must take down Turisse Castle. We must kill everyone alive. Kill them all!" The Blood Red Duke was enraged, but that didn't mean that he had given up on thinking. After three hours of continuous attacks, he still ordered a retreat after suffering heavy losses and failing to achieve anything.
The defenders once again stubbornly repelled the enemy's attack.
Bodrick stood on the castle. The dry night wind and the stench of the Undead stimulated his sense of smell. The Duke was wearing a blue and yellow Sea God's Mithril chain mail. He had a family coat of arms that symbolized the Sea God's Trident. When he saw the corpse tide retreat, he immediately ordered, "Check the losses immediately. I need to know today's losses."
"Yes!" A Sea God Knight immediately obeyed.
Twenty minutes later, in the cold tower of Turis Castle, Bodrick's eyes were red as he sat behind a table.
The deputy commander of the Sea God Knights, Sir Houlf, walked in. "My Duke, we lost 19 knights and about 300 serf soldiers in today's battle. There are 35 sergeants."
The atmosphere in the room was very quiet. Duke Bordero wasn't in the mood to look at the losses. He gestured for Houlf to sit down. "My deputy commander, how long do you think we can last?"
"Maybe … a month?" Sir Houlf sat down with a bitter smile. He was wearing a plate armor made of enamel and turquoise. There were many shell decorations on his body, which symbolized the glory he won for the Sea God. "But we will continue to fight, my Duke."
In fact, Bordero's Sea God Knights were not inferior to the knights of the Brittany Kingdom. In fact, they were even better. They were as firm as the sea, and like the storm of the sea, they could crush all enemies.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha …" Bodrick sneered a few times. He took out a few letters or orders. "His Majesty keeps emphasizing that we should defend and wait for reinforcements. But where are his damned reinforcements? My scouts report that there are no reinforcements in Colona! What! There are no signs of an army gathering. Instead, it is my new friend Laing who is trying to gather the army. My old friend François is also coming to support me! "
"Winford's reinforcements are on the way. They are expected to arrive at noon the day after tomorrow." Sir Houlf took the report from the scouts. "But there is bad news. The Undead must have known that our reinforcements are on the way."
"Be prepared. Tomorrow night, we will face an unprecedented attack," Bodrick said in a low voice. Houlf nodded. The knight hesitated for a moment before saying, "My Duke, do you want to hide for a while? The attack tomorrow night may be unprecedentedly fierce …"
"Where can I run to? Bodrick? Colona? "Bodrick said expressionlessly.
"… Marlinburg? My Duke, you must not lose. You are Bordero. The bloodline of the Sea God must not be lost here. "Houlf's voice rang out in the room.
"I'm dead, and so is my son, Fedmond. I'm old, and death is not a curse to me." Bodrick stood up. The duke did not smile. "Is this my fate? Do you know how angry I am right now? Our king did not support me, and I am very angry. I am burning with rage. "
"I am very sorry, my Duke," Houlf hurriedly said.
"I will not run away. I will not give in." Bodrick stood up. He looked at the Vampire army in the distance and shouted, "It is time to draw our swords!"
Endless waves of anger flooded the room, and Houlf immediately knelt down. "My Duke! The Knights of the Sea God will always be with you! "
"The descendants of the Sea God will never fear any enemy!"
The next night, the Duke himself appeared on the frontline of the battlefield. He held the golden Neptune's Trident in his hand and pierced a tomb guard who rushed up to him. "For Mannan, for Bordero!"
"For the Lady!" The duke's appearance on the frontlines of the battlefield inspired endless courage among the serfs. The serfs roared loudly, releasing all their courage. They bravely killed the enemy, raised their spears, and pierced through groups of enemies.
The Knights of the Sea God, wearing the cloak of the Sea God's trident, also moved out. They held shields and scimitars, brutally cutting all the undead that tried to climb the city into two. The tomb guards suffered heavy losses.
Under the pale moonlight, the entire castle was engulfed in smoke. The three walls were engaged in a fierce battle. The Blood Red Duke seemed to know that reinforcements were coming. Today, not only did he send out all his troops except for the Blood Knights, but he also sent out a large group of Bloodthirsty Sky Ghosts and Bloodthirsty Batwolves.
"It's the heavenly ghosts! Take cover! " Groups of heavenly ghosts flapped their huge wings and appeared. They swept across the sky and rushed directly toward the army that was fighting fiercely on the city walls.
"Shoot!" The soldiers shouted. The serf archers desperately aimed at the heavenly ghosts and shot arrows.
The Bloodthirsty Akasha Ghosts flapped their wings and knocked these fragile arrows down. The arrows released by the serf archers were not lethal enough. They howled and swept past the tower, then grabbed a group of serf archers and threw them down from the sky.
"Ahhhhh!" Screams came from the sky.
"Something is crawling up!" The Knights of the Sea God were fighting with a large group of tomb guards. Deputy General Orff suddenly shouted, "Duke, be careful!"
Bodrick swung his sword and killed several tomb guards and zombies that attacked the city walls. He raised the Sea God's trident and was about to unleash Mannen's anger when he heard the knights' shout. The duke was stunned for a moment. He immediately gave up attacking and turned to defense. A group of heavenly ghosts swooped down toward the duke. Bodrick raised his shield to block, but the gigantic heavenly ghosts kept hitting Bodrick's shield. The duke, who was suffering from the huge impact, was knocked down and fell on the city walls.
"Lord Bodrick!" The Knights of the Sea God tried to help their duke, but more tomb guards climbed up the city walls. They appeared in groups and stopped the Knights of the Sea God from getting closer.
"Ahhhh! It's a Fright Beast! "A serf shouted loudly.
In the distance, a gigantic Terrorbeast flapped its wings and appeared in the night sky. It looked like a bat that had been magnified dozens of times. Its skeletal face was burning with green will-o '-the-wisp. Its body that was a few meters long swooped down toward the city wall with a gust of wind.
Bodrick half-knelt and used his shield to block the attacks. Just as he was about to get up, several Akasha Ghouls opened their bloody mouths and bared their sharp fangs, constantly trying to attack the duke himself. Several Poseidon Knights raised their shields and tridents and fought with the Akasha Ghouls. Bodrick turned his head and saw that Poseidon's trident had fallen not far away. The duke himself immediately rolled over and grabbed Poseidon's trident. "Mannen's Fury!"
A huge amount of seawater gushed out of the air and swept over the city walls. The heavenly ghosts and tomb guards were swept up by the Sea God's anger and were crushed in the seawater.
While Bodrick was controlling the seawater, a huge claw came down from the sky and hit the duke. Bodrick screamed and fell to the ground. His shield and trident were sent flying.
It's a Fright Beast! It had landed!
The behemoth landed on the city wall and opened its mouth. With its feet on the ground, it roared at Bodrick. The duke was lying on the ground, his hands and feet constantly squirming as he tried to retreat. However, behind him was the battlements of the city wall. There was no place to retreat!
"Duke!!!" The Knights of the Sea God shouted. Seeing Bodrick in trouble, they were furious. But even the Knight of the Sea God who was closest to the duke was about five meters away.
Was it all over? Bodrick's eyes were filled with endless hatred. He tried to pull out his sword, swearing to die together with the gigantic Fright Beast.
At this moment, a green light shone near the city walls. A knight with a green body flashed out of the green light. He swept across the city walls like a gust of wind, the green sword in his hand flashing with sparks.
In the blink of an eye, the Fright Beast's head fell to the ground.
"Continue to fight! People of Brittany! Don't give in to the darkness! "
"Forward!!!"
