Chapter 438 The First Castle Attack and Defense Battle
Chapter 438 The first castle attack and defense battle
After arranging all the defense matters, Roger went to see Anna in the room above the castle bar. 【】Many days of hard work and the grief of losing a loved one made Anna's spirit very poor. The room on the second floor of the bar was very comfortable, just right for Anna to take a good rest.
Rest to regain your strength.
It turned out that Anna was still very sad, but her always strong personality allowed her to endure her grief and did not cry like an ordinary woman. Roger managed to comfort Anna for a while, and then he quietly left the room and went upstairs until she fell asleep.
I went to the bar and ordered a glass of the best ale. Don't drink and think about your own thoughts.
"Your Majesty the Earl..." When Roger drank half a glass of ale, Ralph stood at the door of the bar and called him tentatively. Although he had received the protection of the castle and there was no problem with safety for the time being, the knights and his men had left this sudden place.
The castle that appeared became a miracle sent down by the Supreme God. In this "holy" castle, Ralph was cautious in every move he made. Bars were his favorite places before, but now the knights can't even open the door.
No one dared to enter.
"Come in, I'll buy you a drink!" Roger waved to Ralph, and then called to the barkeeper, who was also a civilian in the castle: "Give my friend a glass of the best ale!"
Although he received Roger's invitation, Ralph still seemed very cautious. He sat up straight in his chair, like a primary school student in class. The expressionless bar owner gave him ale, and the knight carefully picked up the cup and took a sip.
, and then couldn't help but sigh: "What a good wine. In the castle of the great Supreme God, even the wine is the best!"
Roger was already used to being surprised by Ralph's fuss, and gave up trying to make him relax. He just asked calmly: "What do you want from me?"
"Yes, sir." Speaking of this knight, he also became serious, put down his wine glass and said solemnly: "Thank you for saving everyone, but the undead creatures will definitely gather here soon. I want to know what you need me and my men to do.
.”
"I don't need your help for the time being." Roger pondered for a while and said: "Your task now is to have a good rest and recuperate your energy to serve as a reserve team in the future!"
To be honest, Roger did not intend to let Ralph and his men go to the battlefield unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, they were all real human beings, and they would not be resurrected after death. He took this very seriously to himself.
Trusted living people are used to fight a war of attrition against undead creatures, so
Roger couldn't do it; secondly, when Roger's soldiers kill an enemy, they can bring him a piece of soul power, but when Ralph and his men kill those undead creatures, they won't bring Roger any power.
There is no benefit, so Roger doesn't want them to waste these precious soul power.
Before coming to find Roger, Ralph also walked around the castle and was deeply impressed by Roger's soldiers. As an experienced officer, Ralph could tell at a glance that these soldiers were all elite.
, even his own men couldn't compare with them. Roger's so-called letting himself and his men serve as the reserve team was actually very polite and gave him face. So the knight did not raise any objections, but immediately and seriously
Responded: "As commanded!"
"Send a few people to wait at the entrance of the warehouse, and I will allocate some food to you to solve the problem of eating." Roger then said to Ralph: "We cannot let the soldiers go to war hungry."
There is a lot of food in the castle warehouse, and it is absolutely no problem to feed these thousands of people for half a month. This is also the benefit of having a castle hub, otherwise Ralph's soldiers will be killed even if they enter the castle.
Starve to death and thirst to death.
"I'll make arrangements now!" Ralph also knew the importance of food to the army. Hearing this, he immediately drank the cup of ale and walked out.
"One more thing!" The Eye Knight was about to leave, and Roger quickly reminded: "Tell others that you can go anywhere else in the castle, but the top two floors of the tower and the second floor of the bar are strictly prohibited!"
Seeing that Roger was serious, Ralph also responded seriously: "Don't worry!"
Since the castle was summoned to the main material world, Seraph Archangel Angela naturally followed. At this time, she was resting on the floor next to the top of the tower, and another artifact, the Archangel Statue, was placed on the top floor, so
It is absolutely forbidden for others to enter these two floors.
As for the second floor of the bar, Anna was resting there. In order to prevent her from being disturbed, no one else was allowed to go upstairs.
As Ralph conveyed his order, Roger also drank the glass of wine and murmured to himself: "It seems that I have to go to the city wall to inspect it, so as not to let everyone think that I am the only one in the whole castle idle.
.
While Ralph's men were eating together, the first wave of undead attacks on the castle began.
These undead creatures were part of the undead creatures that originally besieged Gaia City. They moved faster and entered Gaia City first, escaping the fate of being purified by the Holy Light. After killing all the rebels, these undead creatures
The creatures were attracted by the vitality in the castle, and they all gathered towards where Roger and others were.
What surprised Roger was that among these undead creatures, there was actually a black knight. The black knight was also considered a super undead creature, and it also had a certain degree of wisdom. It knew that it was impossible to capture such a building by fighting alone.
of the castle, so he used his pressure on low-level undead creatures to control other undead creatures, and then organized them to launch a unified attack on the castle.
Under unified command, the threat of undead creatures that used to only rely on instinct has greatly increased. Undead creatures used to only attack sporadically, and it was often when dozens or even just a dozen undead creatures gathered together and dared to attack the city wall.
All actions were completely unstructured. The soldiers stationed on the city wall were able to eliminate the undead creatures below without any effort at all.
However, with the command of the Black Knight, these undead creatures became more or less like an army. At least they knew to wait until they reached a certain number before launching an attack.
Thousands of undead creatures gathered not far from the castle, and then attacked a section of the city wall. This was also the first time Roger encountered a decent attack, but to pose a sufficient threat to the castle, these thousands of undead creatures alone would
A basic undead creature is not enough.
These undead creatures such as skeletons and zombies were dumbfounded when they rushed to the foot of the city wall. After all, they are not undead creatures that are good at climbing and agile. Facing a city wall that is more than ten meters high, solid, thick, and smooth in appearance, it is impossible to climb up quickly.
City head.
However, the persistence of undead creatures is world-famous. Skeletons and zombies rushed under the city wall without much hesitation, and soon managed to grab the smallest gap in the wall and began to climb up.
For other creatures, it is simply an impossible task to climb up the city like this. In addition to the determination to not be afraid of death, it also requires extremely firm belief and tireless physical strength. But for undead creatures,
, they all have these three points. Low-level undead creatures have no thoughts of their own at all. Of course, they are not afraid of death but only know how to execute the orders of their kind who are stronger than them. As for physical strength... As long as the fire of the soul is not extinguished, the undead creatures will
You can keep fighting.
These low-level undead creatures persisted in climbing up the city wall. They were somewhat similar to the geckos on the earth. However, their climbing speed was too slow, and each undead creature could not climb at the same speed.
Likewise, the Fundamental Law poses no threat to Roger's side.
After waiting for a long time, the skeletons that climbed the fastest finally approached the top of the city. They were greeted by heavily armed spearmen who had been waiting for a long time. To deal with these slow-moving enemies who were hanging on the city wall, they had no ability to resist.
, the heavily armed pikemen didn’t even have any pressure. They were easy to deal with.
Yi Lei stabbed the enemy's heads one by one with the spear. The sharp spear point pierced the heads of the undead creatures without any hindrance, and at the same time destroyed their soul fire. The undead creatures who lost their soul fire were just ordinary bodies.
The corpse immediately fell from the high city wall to the ground and shattered into pieces.
As more and more undead creatures approached the wall, the soldiers on the wall began to get busy. Heavy spearmen and half-armored swordsmen all joined the battle. They kept attacking the approaching enemies, killing them one by one.
The guy who couldn't fight back threw himself off the wall.
Those unlucky undead creatures finally approached the city head, but were eliminated one by one by Roger's soldiers. The foot of the city wall was soon filled with the remains of the undead creatures, while the undead creatures hanging on the city wall were quickly
Reduced. Thousands of undead creatures attacked at the same time. Although they looked menacing, most of the undead creatures failed to climb the city wall at all, and it became Roger's harvest of soul power.
Only a few dozen agile ghouls successfully climbed onto the city wall, but they did not cause Roger much trouble. The half-armored swordsmen waiting on the city wall quickly eliminated these ghouls, and he only
Four people were injured. Compared with the result of annihilating thousands of undead creatures, this little loss can be described as insignificant.
Just when the undead creatures started to attack, Ralph climbed up the city wall and watched the battle. This does not mean that the knight deliberately disobeyed Roger's orders, but that he wanted to play a part in the battle too much. But Ralph
He soon discovered that his existence did not have much significance. Roger's soldiers were so outstanding, and with such a strong castle as a support, it was easy to eliminate such a few undead creatures without him taking action at all.
"What an elite unit!" The knight made his own judgment after the battle, admiring Roger and his soldiers.
But what Ralph didn't know was that at the same time Roger, whom he deeply admired, was falling into deep doubts.
