Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

129 The Undead and the Citadel

Yayu City is very big, big enough for an army of tens of thousands of people to fight here.

Yayu City is so small that it can't even store a corpse.

……

Kingdom of Fritz.

The boundaries of various urban areas.

King Fritz led the vanguard to rush all the way, arriving here almost non-stop around the clock. They had just passed through the first battlefield, and then passed through two internal passes before arriving at the royal castle, the royal castle.

King Fritz was at the front of the line.

He reined in suddenly and looked up to the north.

The north wind howled between the sky and the earth, and the wind was so cold that it penetrated into the bone marrow.King Fritz held the rein tightly, feeling that the blood seemed to be cooling inch by inch, and it seemed that there was a flame boiling in his heart.

The soldiers stopped behind King Fritz and looked at King Fritz suspiciously. The army was a little noisy.

However, in the world, all voices are away from King Fritz.

Tick.

It seemed to be an illusion, and it seemed that the voice was carried by the wind and came from far away.

Tick.

It was the sound of a drop of blood falling.

Whose blood is that?

"go ahead!"

King Fritz suddenly roared.

He raised his whip high and swung it down vigorously.The war horse roared and galloped out.The cold wind blew on King Fritz's face like a knife.He held on to the reins tightly, his joints turning terribly pale.

Over mountains, across glaciers, through swamps, King Fritz sprinted through the bitter cold of late winter.

How much does he own?

How much can he lose!
James and several cavalry were galloping through the snow.

A scroll full of numbers was stuffed in his arms, and his breathing was as heavy as a blacksmith's bellows.He was panting from exhaustion, partly wanted to laugh, partly wanted to yell at some idiot.

Let a castle designer flee from the battlefield with a group of people, does that idiot think he is also some kind of knight who can wield a sword and wear armor?Believe it or not, he would just kneel down and beg for mercy when a few horses from the enemy came up to him?

James took the last cavalry of the royal castle, and they walked through the secret passage on the south side of the castle.

James didn't know anything about the battlefield, he was just an architect who worked with wood and stone all day long.

But even he, in the early morning of yesterday, saw the white-backed salamander flag of the Jesik rebel army instead of the red-backed rose flag on the horizon, and understood the change in the battle situation.

Lansman, the captain of the royal guard who used offense instead of defense, did not come back, but a wave of enemies came.

This time the siege was more violent than the previous one.

The time since the last siege was too short, they barely had time to repair the cracked city walls, and the collapsed towers had no time to rebuild.The enemy was not in a hurry to climb the city, but pushed the trebuchet onto the battlefield, aiming to bombard the repaired city walls.

Amidst the loud rumbling noise, the royal castle was crumbling.

The commander stayed on the city wall from morning until evening, directing at the top of his voice.But everyone knows that the castle in the royal family's military can no longer be defended.

The enemy gradually began to mount the top of the city.

The commander found James at that time with a detachment of cavalry.

He pointed to James and said to the cavalrymen, "He has confidential information on him. Even if you die, you must send him to King Fritz properly."

"I have a fart—"

Before James finished a sentence, the commander strode over and grabbed him by the collar.

"I'm not trying to save you." The commander who had already broken his arm was short of breath, and he lowered his voice, "I'm begging you to save my brother! I'm here, they will never run away! So I beg you You take them away! I beg you to save their lives!"

After the commander finished speaking, he let go of him.

"Take him away!"

At the command of the commander, those knights with red eyes came up and grabbed James and retreated towards the secret passage.

"Tell Your Majesty! The Gurendian heavy cavalry has arrived!"

The commander finally said such a word to him, and then rushed to the wall again with great strides.He drew his sword and slashed at the Jesik rebels who had climbed up from the breach in the city wall.

James saw him holding the sword in one hand, raising it high, and slashing down hard, beheading a Jesk rebel.

Blood spurted from the man's neck like a fountain, dousing half of the commander.His hair and face were covered with blood, dripping down drop by drop.James didn't know if the same blood would be sprayed out if the commander himself was beheaded.

The knights escorted James and escaped from the south side of the castle.The enemy's attack is focused on the north, and there are not many Jesk rebels outside the secret passage in the south.

Before leaving the castle and rushing into the snow field, James looked back at the castle he designed himself for the last time.

Faintly, black smoke enveloped the sky above the castle, which was the flames of war ignited on the battlefield.

The royal castle is doomed to fall.

James understood.

After the castle is captured, the Jesik rebels will also think about repairing it, and the carpenters and workers in the city will survive.But the commander and the soldiers defending the city, they will surely die.

Running fast in the starry night, an architect and several cavalry rushed desperately.

They came with the last order of a commander:

——Tell King Fritz that Dark Auri, the king of the undead, is about to be resurrected!

They had driven all night, and James felt that his life would be thrown in the saddle if this continued.

It was a mistake for him to come to the Kingdom of Fritz, otherwise he would still be a person who builds churches at his own will.Thinking so, James waved his whip, and once again urged the horse under him to gallop forward.

The war horse galloped up to a small hill, and suddenly seemed to be frightened, and stood up tall.

James was shocked, and he tugged on the rein, trying to calm the horse.But not only was he unsuccessful, he also rolled off the horse and fell headlong into the icy snow.

A mouthful of snow was poured down his throat abruptly, and James rolled over, struggling to get up from the snow.

As soon as he got up, he understood why the war horse was frightened.

On the far horizon, smoke and dust are faintly rolled up.In the smoke and dust, hundreds of blood-red banners spread out, forming a continuous wave.

James opened his mouth and drank the snow in his mouth, which chilled his heart and lungs.He coughed violently, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.

The bloody wave rushed towards him from a distance, and rushed to his eyes in an instant.The cavalry behind James exclaimed. Seeing that James, who had rolled onto the snow slope, was about to be trampled into flesh by the horse, the leading knight strangled the horse in the nick of time, and stopped at a distance less than three steps away from James. place.

Behind the knight, all the war horses stopped at the same time, instantly turning from a galloping torrent into a still vast ocean.The flags rolled up and rattled, but the war horses had all stood still, and at this moment they were blowing out streams of white air from their noses.

James narrowly escaped death, and stood up from the side of the horse.

He had just stood up, but the knights behind got off their horses and knelt down in the snow.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Startled, James looked up at the leading knight.

The knight was wearing armor with his back against the light, so he couldn't see his face clearly.It was near dawn, and there was a layer of faint blue light between the sky and the earth. Now this cold blue light fell on the knight, plating him like a piece of iron that was fished out of the fire and quenched into ice.

James suddenly remembered that a few days ago, when Lansman, the captain of the royal guard, led the cavalry to fight, it was also in such a thin and cold morning light.

"You came out of the royal castle?"

King Fritz was on horseback, the people behind him were too far away, and the people in front of him were kneeling. Everyone could only hear his calm voice, and no one saw his trembling hand holding the rein and whip.

"The city... the city is broken."

The voice of the cavalryman who answered trembled slightly. He was the commander's retinue, and he was also the commander's best friend.
