Arcane Age

Although Joey, who was standing on the observation deck, failed to sound the alarm before he died, facing the breath of the deceased, the hunting dogs in Neuer Town roared wildly, quickly waking up the sleeping people. With the help of the knight attendants, the three knights quickly put on their armor and mounted their horses. They raised their swords high, but they saw a sea of ​​skeletons that was drowning.

The green soul fire burns in their skeletons. Some skeletons are still wearing the armor of their lifetimes and holding weapons in their hands. In the sea of ​​skeletons, there are dotted with several figures wrapped in black robes.

The old priest walked out of the chapel tremblingly with his woolen shoulder pads on his shoulders. Even with his devout faith, he was shocked by the terrifying sea of ​​skeletons: Praise my Lord! Please give me grace to fight against this evil!

He prayed devoutly, but the Lord of Glory did not respond to his prayer. The old priest mustered up his last remaining courage and stirred up all the divine power in his body, but then only a faint milky white light lingered on his fingertips.

With this tiny bit of divine power, he couldn't even cast a single divine spell. The old priest sighed helplessly, and the light on his fingertips dimmed.

The Rhine people are not afraid of evil! Warriors, mount your horses and charge! Flo, the only second-level knight, raised the knight's sword in his hand high and turned to face the knights who had lined up neatly behind him. shouted loudly.

They are knights who must charge to have enough fighting power, so they cannot fight these terrifying monsters in the narrow streets of the town. What's more, you are surrounded by your own relatives. If these monsters are allowed to rush in, they will cause huge casualties!

At this moment, hundreds of cavalrymen were all ready for the final preparations. They saw with their own eyes the almost endless sea of ​​skeletons in the distance. However, at this moment, no matter how fearful they were in their hearts, they knew that they had to fight to the death. There was no way out, only My own relatives!

The Rhine people launched a charge under the leadership of three knights. Their horses accelerated along the only main road in the town, with horseshoes forming in formation. The three knights rushed at the front, and soon they were on the fields outside the town and in this area. A sea of ​​skeletons collided together.

Knight Flo waved the knight's sword in his hand and used the breathing method. His powerful and heavy chop instantly split the skull of a skeleton and the entire frame into pieces, and even the green soul fire dissipated.

Knight Flo was convinced that these skeletons were not scary!

Under the leadership of the three knights, the Rhine people rushed into the sea of ​​skeletons. They fought desperately, killing as many of these seemingly endless skeletons as possible to protect the families behind them.

These newly born skeletons are so weak that even ordinary people can deal with them! A man in black robes shook his head dissatisfied.

After all, this is not a burial ground, and the power of the undead has weakened. Another man in black robe did not care: There are more than 5,000 people in the town in front of us. All resistance is in vain. They will Join us soon!”

Let's speed up this process! The first man in black robe waved his sleeve, and a cloud of corrosion flew towards the middle of the Rhine Knights.

This green cloud of corrosion, with its highly toxic corrosion, quickly broke through the armor of the cavalry, corroding their skin with wounds. Many people even had their eyes blurred and almost lost their vision. .

This three-ring spell did not last long, and the blindness was only temporary, but it was enough. This three-ring spell quickly intercepted the charging Rhine Knights in place, and fell into more and more skeleton warriors. in the package.

Knight Flo squinted one eye, which was so sore that the entire cavalry team had shrunk into a circle, and he was standing at the front of the row.

Charge, charge! Knight Flo shouted again, his voice resounding across the earth, full of tragic generosity.

Charge, charge! The knights' breathing became rapid. They knew that the situation was very bad, but the Rhine people never surrender. They would rather die in the hands of these monsters than fight until the last moment!

What miserable mortals. Their strength is not worth mentioning. Only their courage is worthy of praise. The man in black robe stretched out his arms and let out a terrifying laugh: Join us, I will treat you well and treat you well. Become a warrior in the army of the dead!”

Knight Flo was about to split open the bones of a skeleton wearing armor, but he suddenly felt a chill in his vest, and when he turned around, he saw a ghostly soul.

The strong armor worth hundreds of gold on his body could not resist the power of this dead soul. His heart suddenly hurt, and his whole body let out a painful scream!

He wielded the knight's sword in his hand. This sword was already the most powerful sword in his life, breaking through his own limits. If he could recall these memories and insights many times, he would soon be promoted to an intermediate knight!

However, this effort was in vain. The long sword passed through the ghost's body, but it could not cause any damage to it.

The next moment, Knight Flo's heart was finally torn out. His only open eye was filled with rage, but he could only fall down unwillingly, falling from his horse to the ground.

The death of Knight Flo put a tragic mark on the fate of this Rhine cavalry team. Soon, hundreds of cavalrymen were all killed in battle. They only eliminated a few dozen skeletons, which was much worse than this mighty sea of ​​skeletons. Up, it's not worth mentioning at all.

Join us, your bravery is still useful! The men in black robes drew a huge magic circle on the ground. The knights and the horses they stepped on, their flesh and blood were peeled off by the sacrifice, and their bones quickly changed from white to The dark color of their souls did not return to the endless river of Styx at the moment of death. Instead, they were restrained in the bones and turned into a miserable green soul fire.

Although there is still a gulf-like gap between us and real death knights, we finally have a regular army. The man in black robe nodded with satisfaction: Charge, my skeleton cavalry!

Following the order, the originally brave and fearless knights turned their horses, and the sea of ​​skeletons made way for them. They charged again, but this time they pointed the swords in their hands at their former relatives!

Everyone in the town of Neuer had already woken up. They were worried but full of expectations, especially when the cavalry charged out. They cheered and encouraged desperately, but the sound soon became low, and hope instantly turned into despair.

Now, the knights guarding the town of Neuer have turned into skeleton cavalry, and the five thousand old, weak and young can only face the fate of death in despair!

Merciful Lord, why do you abandon us! Look at what kind of disasters and torture this world is suffering! You are the omnipotent Lord of billions of radiance, and your glory shines in countless worlds, why do you abandon us? ! The old priest cried bitterly. The last of his divine power had faded, and his faith was on the verge of collapse.

Fifty kilometers ahead, there is a small town of Neuer on the banks of the Neuilly River. We can take a rest there. The guide leading the team pointed to the north.

Just where you pointed, I sensed the breath of the deceased, and the life is dissipating! The investigation team from the Potsdam Palace was already very close to the town of Neuer. Deep Cold Will Kelsud looked solemn. , he quickly took out his magic wand, and after waving it gently, each of the thousands of knights were surrounded by green wind.

Knight Reinhardt, in the town of Neuer, a battle between the undead and the living is starting. Kelsud said to Reinhardt: Quickly stop this tragedy from happening. Bar!

Reinhard raised the sword in his hand high: Knights of the Knights of the Rhine, charge!

The members of the Knights of the Rhine must be at least mid-level knights. The thousand knights led by Reinhardt are the elite of the Knights of the Rhine. With Kelsud's group swift wind acceleration, their charging speed is almost In the Zephyr race, 50 kilometers took less than a quarter of an hour!

Reinhard took the lead. When he saw the situation in the town of Neuer on the other side of the Nayi River, his eyes were red. The people of the Federation were being massacred by monsters!

The frozen earth! Jenna waved the spar magic wand in her hand, and the dozens of meters wide Nayi River was instantly frozen into a frozen road. The knights did not slow down at all, but accelerated for the last time and crashed directly into Into the battlefield!

Dragon Spear Thrust! Reinhardt jumped high on his horse and fell from the sky. He struck with anger and almost dealt the most terrifying damage. The strong air flow revolved around the knight's spear in his hand, and the air flow even condensed into something similar to Yu Long's form!

The spears thrust forward and were aimed at the skeleton cavalry. The will of these skeleton cavalry had been controlled by the men in black robes, and they aimed their butcher knives at their enemies. Most of the 5,000 people in Neuer Town had been killed or injured.

Bang bang bang bang bang! Reinhardt's knight lance was almost like a tornado, easily destroying every skeleton cavalry on the edge of the storm. Almost all of the nearly one hundred skeleton cavalry were killed by his dragon spear thrust. Turned into powdered skeletons!

This is the power of a diamond knight! The man in black robes in the distance said in shock: Potsdam Palace has sent the most elite knights. We must temporarily avoid the edge and notify the Plaguebringer!

I'm sorry, but none of you can leave! Kelsud suddenly appeared beside the two of them. In an instant, two dark blue cages completely froze them, and their bodies and souls were plunged into extreme cold. .

The vast sea of ​​skeletons could not stop Reinhardt and the knights of the Rhine Knights from venting their anger. Compared with the rapidly spreading plague, this kind of visible and tangible enemy was the Rhine people's favorite. enemy!

The combat effectiveness of a skeleton is not even comparable to that of a first-level professional, but the Knights of the Rhine are the most prestigious knights in the entire Oriente continent. The combat effectiveness of the two sides is not at the same level at all, and the skeleton army was crushed to pieces in an instant. , the battle is over.

It was only at this moment that the people of Neuer Town, who had lost their loved ones, let out painful cries. Although the massacre lasted only a quarter of an hour, the casualties caused were extremely horrific, with heavy casualties.

Reinhard got off the horse and came to the door of the chapel, only to see the priest who was still staring at death. He had a three-year-old child firmly pressed under him, but his body was pierced with numerous wounds.

Reinhard was full of self-blame. If he could have been faster, faster, these people could have been saved!

Jenna walked to his side and sighed: Reinhardt, you have done your best!

I will definitely destroy the enemies behind this plague, even if they escape to the horizon or other planes! Reinhardt clenched his fists and made a solemn vow.

It seems yes, it was really the good deeds of that old friend from the Boneyard! Kelsud flashed over with two men in black robes frozen in ice: The Army of the Dead, the 'Undead King' Bardes is unwilling to be left alone, and finally begins to try to get involved in the world of Orente!

Is it the plague they spread, the dead they summoned? Reinhard said angrily.

For a magician, torture is a very simple matter. Kelsud's hand gently attached to the ice, violently reading the soul memories of the two men in black robes.

However, just as he started to read, a powerful will instantly sensed it. The souls of the two men in black robes quickly withered and withered, leaving nothing behind.

Plaguebringer? Kelsud was not angry: Although we have only found out a little bit of information, it is enough. New Wagt Fort has become a production base for the army of the dead. The secret we are looking for is There!

People, I am Reinhard, a knight of the Lord Consul and a member of the Rhine Knights. You are safe now! Reinhard summoned all the surviving Rhine people: Bury the remains of your relatives here. Well, their sacrifices will never be forgotten, and I swear to avenge them! Continue southward through the frozen Nayi River, and you will soon be properly settled and continue to live a peaceful life!

For those brave knights who were transformed into skeleton cavalry by the men in black robes, Reinhardt personally dug a huge mausoleum and placed their skeletons in it. Although Reinhardt personally ended them, he did not No regrets, but increased anger and hatred towards those evil enemies who manipulated the dead.

The dead priest received the most dignified burial. The three-year-old child he saved with his life survived without any injuries. He was put on the cleanest and neatest priest's robe, lay in the coffin, and was buried. In the cemetery behind the church.

Saying goodbye to this group of Rhine people who had been saved in despair, the investigation team from the Tower of Thousand Laws and Reinhardt's knights continued their journey north to New Waggart Castle to investigate the final secret of the plague.
