Chapter 865: Slaughtering the City Again
The "evil ghost" obviously had no intention of letting them go.
As soon as his figure flashed, he appeared beside several fleeing soldiers.
With a wave of his hand, his extremely sharp nails cut off their necks.
His speed is as fast as lightning, and he constantly shuttles through the streets of the city.
Just a moment later, all the soldiers who had surrounded him and fled in all directions were beheaded.
However, there are not only these dozens of soldiers in this city.
In order to capture the city in one fell swoop and make the descendants of those prisoners of war feel complete despair, the rulers sent a total of 8,000 troops, carrying heavy siege weapons.
Because of this, this city was easily captured.
At this time, the large army that had finished massacring the city was still stationed in the city and had not left.
The battle that took place in the city quickly attracted the attention of the guards.
After several twists and turns, this "evil ghost" attacked and moved all the way, and was finally surrounded by the army in an alley.
After repeated close encounters, and after confirming that ordinary swords, axes, guns and halberds were completely ineffective against this "evil ghost", the general ordered to surround him with walls and shields, and then fired with siege ballistae.
The "evil ghost" trapped in the alley has a row of towering wall shields in front of him.
After confirming that there was no way to escape, a group of soldiers behind the wall shield began to transport the ballistae in an orderly manner.
During this period, nearly a hundred crossbowmen climbed up the wall and continuously shot arrows from the air to prevent the "evil ghost" from climbing the wall and escaping.
The army's standard crossbow still had no effect on this "evil ghost".
The armor-piercing arrowhead made of fine steel will explode into a string of eye-catching sparks after hitting his body. It can only penetrate his tattered clothes, but cannot cut his flesh.
Soon, the siege ballistae was delivered.
At the command, the front wall shields folded to both sides, opening a gap, and the rear siege ballistae fired decisively without any suspicion!
The triangular arrows of the crossbow arrows, when stimulated by the noose, can even easily penetrate the city wall. The "evil ghost" who was disturbed by the arrows seemed to be completely unaware of the crossbow arrows and was hit on the spot. His entire body was overwhelmed by the huge crossbow arrows.
Coerced by the force, it hit the wall behind heavily!
The wall made of bluestone bricks could not withstand the close range fire of the siege ballistae, but it was destroyed on the spot!
The figure of the "evil ghost" was immediately covered by the dust in the sky.
The siege ballista tightened the noose again, intending to fire another arrow at the opponent.
However, during this process, a figure suddenly emerged from the ruins, and in the blink of an eye, it had arrived not far in front of the wall shield.
The well-trained soldiers, without the need for orders from the rear, closed the walls and shields on their own, intending to block the opponent.
But the next moment, a dark arc flashed like splashed ink, and the wall-shield phalanx blocking the entrance of the alley was cut off diagonally on the spot!
Not only were the wall shields, which were made of fine steel and could easily withstand cuts from swords, axes, and crossbows, leaving only slight traces, cut off on the spot, even the buildings on both sides of the alley were destroyed by this dark arc.
Cut them off together!
The soldiers behind the wall shield, as well as the ballista, a powerful siege weapon, were completely destroyed by this attack.
In a sea of blood, the figure of the "evil ghost" stepped out of the alley. The dark nails on his hands hung down to the ground, like ten extremely sharp long black knives. The two bone spurs growing on his shoulders seemed to be sharper than before.
It grew a bit and tilted forward.
In the distance, the general standing on the attic supervising the battle saw this scene and swallowed subconsciously.
Only then did he finally understand that what they were trying to suppress was not a so-called "evil ghost" at all, let alone a zombie, but an evil god. This general flashed in his mind a figure that had long been destroyed by this land.
Legends forgotten by humans in the region.
According to legend, a long time ago, the evil god who lived in the primeval forest had not yet come to this area.
The humans living in this area at that time worshiped another "god".
They believe in animism and believe that after the death of living creatures, their souls will reach another country.
And the "god" they worship is the ruler of that country.
The name of the god has long been forgotten in the long river of time, and there is only a vague mural in this general's memory.
The "god" in the mural has extremely long nails on both hands, and two sharp thorns that are even longer than the body grow on both sides of the shoulders. The general's scalp is numb, and he suddenly thinks that he was captured in this city and became a livestock prisoner of war.
Before the prison, the ancestors of these prisoners of war were the group of believers who believed in this "god". They, humans, had been enslaved by the evil god living in the primitive forest for thousands of years. Regarding the power of the "god",
It has already been engraved into the bone marrow.
At this moment, knowing that what he and others were facing was probably a legendary evil god, even though this general had experienced hundreds of battles, he suddenly lost hope in his heart.
However, as a high-ranking person, he also knows how to protect himself.
Now that this ancient "god" has been offended, it is obviously not easy to calm down his anger.
The most urgent task is to report what happened here to the ruler.
The general rolled his eyes and immediately said to the lieutenant beside him: "The incident here is of great importance. You can temporarily lead the troops to contain this evil spirit here. I will report back to the monarch and lead the troops to suppress it."
After saying that, the general turned around and walked down to the attic.
The deputy general had been following the general for a long time, so how could he not know what he was thinking? However, the military orders were like a mountain, and he had no choice but to obey them.
The general who came down from the attic quickly left the city, one man and one horse, completely abandoning the thousands of soldiers in the city.
At this moment, another extremely bloody massacre was taking place in the city. Although they had heavy equipment, under the powerful offensive of the evil god, the wall shields in the hands of the soldiers and the heavy armor on their bodies were like confetti.
Vulnerable.
In just half an hour, the number of casualties in the city had already exceeded half of the entire army. The deputy general who took over the command stood on the attic and watched the evil god leisurely walking on the streets filled with corpses.
, like entering a deserted place.
His expression was solemn, and he hesitated whether to abandon everyone and flee like the general.
If you do this, judging from the tragic situation in the city, you will most likely not be able to find your body afterwards, and you will conclude that you have died in the battle.
In this way, even if there is an investigation afterwards, the family will not be affected.
