Roger did not forget that he was in a place where undead creatures were raging, and immediately said to Anna alertly: "Go!"
Anna immediately nodded in agreement, and the two of them ran out of the castle as fast as they could and towards the place where the sound came from. [] Only when they got there did Roger realize that the situation was worse than he thought. He didn't know when two skeletal mammoths appeared.
Another section of the city wall was broken open, and what was heard just now was the sound of the city wall collapsing. Many undead creatures were pouring into the city through the gaps in the city wall. It seemed that the city of Gaia could no longer be defended.
Ralph, who was resting outside the castle, arrived one step ahead of Roger and was directing his soldiers to defend the newly emerged gap. Roger would not stand idly by and immediately summoned more soldiers to help defend, which was temporarily stable.
situation.
"Sir, the gap is still getting bigger, and the city wall will soon be breached by the undead creatures." Ralph came to Roger and said: "I suggest retreating to the castle, so that we can concentrate our troops and hold on for a longer time."
Under normal circumstances, Ralph's suggestion is indeed correct. The numerical advantage of undead creatures is too obvious. Although retreating to the castle gives up a line of defense, it can avoid greater casualties and last longer. Although everyone
We all know in our hearts that doing so is just hanging on for a while, but this is the only choice everyone can make at the moment.
However, Roger didn't think so. Although retreating to the castle could provide temporary stability, it was not a long-term solution after all. The castle in Gaia City also looked crumbling and could not hold out for too long under the attack of the skeletal mammoth.
It is better to find another way out as soon as possible.
In fact, with Roger's current ability, it is not too difficult to leave Anna alone. Anyway, there are a few griffins in the animal training field. It is safe to fly for half a day on a griffin. But Roger can take them.
With Anna leaving, he could not guarantee the safety of these more than a thousand soldiers. Roger could not bear to leave so many soldiers who were loyal to Hamilton, and wanted to bring as many people back safely as possible if possible.
Roger looked at the situation outside the city from where the city wall collapsed, and was pleasantly surprised to find that outside the city was a large flat and open land. It was probably fertile farmland in the past, but it became barren after the invasion of undead creatures.
In Roger's eyes, a large piece of land was the best place to place his castle, but at this time, the land was crowded with undead creatures. First, these undead creatures had to be cleared away, and then the castle could be summoned.
Although there were tens of thousands of undead creatures outside the city, this little thing couldn't trouble Roger at all. He thought about it for a moment and came up with an idea, and immediately gave a loud order: "Knight Ralph, order all the soldiers to gather here.
, be sure to defend the area near the gap in the city wall! I will let my soldiers defend with you."
Roger's order was beyond everyone's expectations. When Ralph came to abandon the castle, which was easier to defend, and instead gathered all the troops here, it was no different from committing suicide. But the knight did not forget his oath, even if it was extremely difficult.
He didn't understand Roger's order and didn't raise any objections. He quickly responded loudly: "Yes!"
Watching Ralph hurried away, Roger's eyes flashed with appreciation. But the current situation no longer allowed Roger to think about other things. Taking advantage of the soldiers gathering, he took Anna's hand.
Just run to the castle.
Hamilton is still in the castle, and Roger doesn't want to leave his body to the undead. He must cremate the Duke's body before retreating. This is also Hamilton's last wish. If not, he will definitely die after Roger and others evacuate.
He was transformed into an undead creature and lived a life of never rest.
Anna naturally knew what Roger was going to do. She bit her lips and said nothing the whole way. It was obvious that she wanted to appear as strong as possible. However, when the two came to Hamilton's room, Anna still couldn't help it.
She shed tears. She and her father had been dependent on each other for many years. She saw her father die unexpectedly without even a decent funeral. It was normal to feel sad.
Although Roger could understand Anna's mood, the current situation really did not allow the two of them to waste any more time. Roger, who was Nai, silently sprinkled some fire dragon blood on Hamilton's body and in the room, and then pulled Anna back.
After a few steps, he threw a burning candlestick on the ground.
The fire dragon's blood burned quickly when it encountered fire, and soon engulfed Hamilton's body. At the same time, the fire became more and more intense, and the two of them could no longer recognize Hamilton in the sea of fire.
Knowing that the entire tower would soon be devoured by fire, Roger gently pulled Anna and said: "Let's go. After we eliminate the undead creatures, we must build a majestic monument to your father here!"
Anna took one last look at the room where her father rested, and silently followed Roger out of the castle. Halfway through, Anna finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Roger in a low voice: "Is it really possible to build a monument for my father? I'm afraid...
...Even if the undead creatures can be eliminated, Alonso III will not agree to it."
"If he dares to disagree, we will beat him until he agrees!" Roger clenched his fists and said, "Speaking of which, your father is also a relative of mine. If I can't handle this little thing for him, then I'm so useless!"
Roger's words made Anna feel very relieved. She gently leaned her head on his shoulder and said: "From now on, I will rely entirely on you..."
In Roger's impression, Anna has always been a fierce and strong woman, but today she showed weakness several times. She was obviously very sad and made Roger feel sorry for her. However, at this moment, there is no words to comfort her.
Roger's words also helped. Roger hugged Anna's shoulders heavily to express comfort. Behind them, flames were already shooting out of the mouth of the tower.
As Roger helped Anna walk to the assembly point, he summoned Seraph Archangel Angela in his heart: "Angela, can you destroy the undead creatures outside the city and clear a clearing for me?"
The relationship between the supreme god of light and the undead creatures of darkness is inherently incompatible. Seraph Archangel replied without hesitation: "Yes!"
"Great!" Angela's answer made Roger confident, and he immediately said to her: "I'll take action according to my orders later. I'll leave it all to you!"
"Don't worry!" Angela replied lightly, and then there was no sound.
After getting along with each other for a few days, Roger also got to know this cool Seraph Archangel, and knew that since she agreed, there would definitely be no problem. So Roger didn’t say much and spoke as quickly as possible.
Arriving at the assembly point with Anna.
Ralph moved very quickly and had already gathered all his soldiers together. Roger's soldiers also retreated this way, voluntarily giving up the defense of other areas of Gaia City.
Without human obstruction, the undead creatures smoothly poured into the city that they had already occupied once. Before that, tens of thousands of undead creatures surrounded the city of Gaia. If all these undead creatures entered the city,
It is definitely a huge threat to Roger and others.
Fortunately, the damage to the wall of Gaia City is not too serious, and there are only two small gaps. One of them is still under the control of Roger and others, and there is only one place for undead creatures to pass, so the undead creatures
The speed of entering the city was not very fast. In addition, many undead creatures dispersed in all directions after entering the city. Only a part of the undead creatures that actually directly besieged Roger and others, so the soldiers were temporarily affected.
The pressure is not too great.
However, although the situation is not bad for the time being, everyone can imagine that as more and more undead creatures enter Gaia City, everyone will soon be in a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides. At that time, there will be original guards outside the city.
There are undead creatures, and there are enemies rushing into the city behind them. It is really impossible to even escape.
So many people, including Ralph, looked at Roger eagerly, with eyes full of expectation, and of course mixed with some suspicion. After all, it was Roger who ordered the castle to be abandoned, which was easier to hold on to, and let everyone gather here.
He should also have a way to lead everyone to escape the immediate disaster.
Of course, there are also people who completely trust Roger. For example, Anna has never doubted Roger at all, and has always believed whatever he says. As for the soldiers under Roger, it is even less likely to doubt him. Under Roger's
Under the order, his soldiers stayed at their respective posts and fought hard, harvesting the undead creatures that rushed up.
Of course, Roger also felt the eyes of others with various meanings, but he did not explain in words, and it was impossible to tell them all his plans. Roger was not a good person. If these soldiers trusted Roger very much,
Then he wouldn't mind helping them. But if anyone dared to doubt Roger, he wouldn't care about the life or death of these guys.
Although all the soldiers under Ralph admired Roger very much, some people still couldn't bear it at this critical moment of life and death. A squad leader was the first to attack, suddenly stood up and pointed at Roger and shouted: "You are willing to follow him to die, I
I don’t want to! I’m going to the castle now, who wants to come with me?”
Although the towers between the castles have been burned when Hamilton's body was cremated, most of the castle is made of stone, which cannot be burned by fire. In the eyes of most people, the castle is much safer than here.
The captain's words immediately received responses from many soldiers. These people stood behind him in groups of three or three, expressing that they were not willing to stay here to accompany Roger to death.
Seeing that some of his soldiers were about to mutiny, Ralph turned red with anger and shouted angrily: "Have you forgotten your oath?"
"Knight Ralph, we only swore to be loyal to the Duke." The captain said with disdain: "I never said that we must listen to Earl Lee. We don't object to him wanting to die, but we definitely won't.
