The extraordinary characteristics of the undead path cannot be integrated with humans. Otherwise, weird flesh and blood or weird organs will grow, and even the brain and spirit will be corrupted, turning into twisted mutant creatures. Therefore, living people cannot absorb the extraordinary characteristics of undead creatures.
Gain power, memory and knowledge within it.
However, the extraordinary characteristics of gluttons can become the main material of precious sealed objects. The special effects are mainly to control undead creatures, attack black magic, or improve the holder's defense and life recovery capabilities.
Amber picked up the extraordinary characteristics that exuded a strange sense of beauty, tossed it and asked Griffith: "Give it to me, this thing is very useful to the witcher."
“No problem,” said the knight-to-be, “is there anything else you want?”
"Yes!" Amber's eyes immediately shone, but after thinking about it, she suppressed her smile and said, "We'd better retreat to the center of the town first. According to this situation, there will inevitably be a fierce battle next."
…
Griffith led the team to quickly retreat to the town center of the lower city. The defense there was being strengthened and the people's hearts were stable. After the undead nest in the direction of the cemetery was destroyed, the overall situation became reassuring.
However, the communication with the upper city was completely cut off. The city defense army closed the bridge over the Raven River and refused to let them in or out. They asked them what happened but there was no answer. They only said that it was a strict order from their superiors.
Griffiths sent some carrier pigeons and ravens to make contact, and then returned to the conference room to wait for a reply and sort out the situation.
He was deeply impressed by the conversation between the ghoul Thonos during the battle. He once thought that this undead creature still had human will and was someone with whom he could communicate and cooperate.
What is the meaning of what Thonos said to me? Why did it do this? Could it be that after being severely damaged, it briefly awakened the human will and wanted to leave some messages to me as a passerby.
I did want to resurrect Elodie, but I didn't dare to act rashly because I lacked enough intelligence and knowledge. It would be much safer if there was an intelligent undead creature to assist me. But why did Thonos guess my thoughts so quickly?
Did it try it before it was alive? What is the indescribable pain, regret and despair like?
It’s a pity that the memories of the extraordinary characteristics of undead creatures must have been contaminated by evil beings, and even if they are preserved, they cannot be believed. The answers to these questions are probably difficult to come by.
Just as Griffith was thinking about various thoughts, Amber, who was taking a nap on the sofa, suddenly jumped up. She looked out the window.
A strange little bird was hitting the glass, trying to fly in.
Griffith came to the window and found that it was a strange familiar made of mud and feathers. A faint aura of magic surrounded it, and there was a feeling that it would collapse at any time.
The clay familiar fell into Griffith's hands and made a familiar sound:
“Griffith, I’m Ophelia and I need help!
“The overwhelming tide of corpses is rushing toward Shangcheng, killing thousands of residents in nearby towns and villages. The atmosphere of terror is getting stronger every moment.
"Lordes asked us and various Beyonder teams to defend the western suburbs block outside the city wall and cover the escape of the surviving refugees. But I noticed an extremely terrifying aura hidden in the darkness. The battle will definitely turn into four Beyonders.
The earth-shattering battle with that terrifying creature, just the aftermath will kill us!

“My reconnaissance also revealed that the tide of corpses was beyond imagination. This idiot Midianmaia insisted on holding on to the barrier and buying time for the refugees. Like everyone else, he refused to listen no matter how hard I tried to persuade him.
"After the battle breaks out, it won't take long for our defense line to be penetrated. Griffith, you can go to our left wing, which is not covered by the strange black mud. It should be possible to open a passage, bring some horses over and we will
Can get away!
“Please help me, I will give you an offer you cannot refuse!”
The clay bird immediately broke into pieces of soil after conveying the message.
There was no reason to refuse. Griffith looked at Amber, stood up and started to pack the equipment.
“I’ll go with you!” Miss Huntress Trainee said immediately, “We don’t need to bring the militia with us this time, just the two of us will do.”
Indeed, militiamen are of little use in mobile warfare. Griffith nodded gratefully and immediately arranged the next work.
The lower town was able to operate normally under the management of the military committee. Griffith and Amber took a few horses to leave and quickly headed to the outskirts of the upper town.
…
They did not go from the city. On the one hand, because the bridge over the river had been closed, forcing them to cross would cause unnecessary commotion and conflicts; on the other hand, the roads in the upper city, which were attacked by the zombie wave, were definitely crowded with refugees.
Even if they barely get through, they will run into a wave of corpses rushing towards them, putting their actions in trouble.
Therefore, they made a circle from the suburbs, followed the river towards the western suburbs, and came to a small highland overlooking the western suburbs.
Although Raven belongs to the Eastern Province geographically and administratively, it is still far away from the war-torn front lines. The western suburbs outside the city wall were originally beautiful manors and villas, but now they have been turned into a charred rubble.
.Farmland and small towns were covered in endless black mud, and hundreds of corpses and skeletons were scattered on the ground in pieces.
“Is there an earthquake?” Amber, who had just climbed onto the low hill, saw the pebbles and gravel on the ground jumping up and down, and tremors came from a distance.
Speeds of rapid and shrill bugles echoed on Raven's walls and watchtowers, as if they had seen an unusual terror and were trying their best to warn the whole city.
Looking from Griffith's position, hazy fog enveloped the surrounding areas. In the elusive distance, there were some shadowy outlines shaking. Several huge black towers emerged from the fog with sharp corners, and the green crystals on the top of the towers rotated.
Reflect the ominous light.
After the gray-brown tide like an ant colony or a stream gushes out from the distant buildings and woods, it converges on the flat land and becomes a rolling tide approaching, flooding the farms, streets and residential areas, one after another.
Wild waves crashed over.
There was a sudden whistling sound overhead.
Griffith raised his head and saw red fireballs and flames streaking across the sky, flying from behind the city wall toward the gray-brown tide. These incendiary bombs came from the heavy trebuchets deployed in the city, which were specially used to suppress the enemy.
The heavy equipment of the siege weapons was clumsier and heavier than what Griffith had used before, but its range and power were also surprisingly powerful.
A single salvo fired, and six fireballs trailing long red and yellow trails left thick tracks on the dim sky.
Whenever these fireballs fall to the ground, blazing fire storms rise into the sky, and the houses, bridges, and forests wherever they go are reduced to ruins and ashes in the sky-high flames. Violent shock waves sweep across crazily, and the air waves and the ground are
The buzz even spread to Griffith's side.
Ruiwen is one of the important towns in the Eastern Province. It has perfect port roads and beautiful towns. It has a large number of Beyonders as reinforcements and two brigades of city defense troops stationed in the city. However, in a short period of time, the situation turned unexpectedly.
The situation worsened to such an extent that the authorities even used heavy firepower against suburban counties without reservation.
Three unconnected irregular positions have been set up in the streets and alleys near the city wall in the western suburbs. Luzhai and Muzha are scattered around the perimeter of the positions, and the main intersections are firmly locked by walls and buildings.
The rolling flames dropped by the incendiary bombs are licking the earth, but they cannot stop the endless influx of madness.
The first wave of brown tide hit the edge of the barrier in the western suburbs, making a shrill roar like a stormy wave hitting the shore. At the moment of the impact, there were even pieces of gray-brown water splashing like waves.
Amber was startled by the scene in front of her and took half a step back. Griffith also stared at the scene with a solemn expression.
Countless living corpses formed this terrifying wave, and the splashing waves were broken heads and limbs.
Most of the zombies are yellow-brown or pale white withered skeletons, and some are highly decomposed walking corpses. Raven's cemetery has been continuously expanded since the city was founded, and it is unknown how many old friends have been buried. Endless withered bones and
The rotting corpses didn't know where they got their strength. They struggled out from under the black mud-covered rotting soil, and rushed towards the city with their swaying and broken remains.
There are also many relatively complete living corpses mixed among them, which should be victims of the towns and villages that were swallowed up along the way.
Many corpses with claws and claws running together gathered together, tearing each other's bodies apart, entangled each other with hair and black threads of unknown origin, and mutated into fat and bloated stitched corpse monsters after a flash of green light.
Those suture monsters moving slowly among countless zombies used terrifying strength to grab the beams and stone pillars picked up along the way, and used them as battering rams to smash against the camp guarding the intersection.
Behind and near the barrier, some soldiers and a large number of residents were fleeing. They screamed and fled in all directions, looking back from time to time to glance at the undead monsters that were getting closer and closer.
Amber observed it for a while, took out a telescope for reconnaissance and shook it: "We are in a higher position. We can use this to observe the battle situation. When will we join in?"
"Wait a moment," Griffith took over and carefully observed the battlefield, "In this dense tide of corpses, even the Extraordinary cannot resist the siege from all directions. We must try to avoid falling into a siege prematurely.
"Although the number of undead creatures is astonishing, they gather from different locations and move at different speeds. There are only a few roads leading to the city gate from the suburbs that are not wide. If you want to form a continuous
To attack the city wall, the attack waves must be assembled and deployed in this countryside.
“The extraordinary ones should rely on the terrain to gradually consume the enemy’s strength. This has just begun. The position can still be supported, and the extraordinary ones have not taken action yet.”
In front of the position closest to Griffith and the others, hundreds of soldiers were stabbing the living corpses trying to climb over the deer village barrier with their spears.
Although there is a sense of security at a distance, after the spear penetrates the body of the zombies, most of the time it only penetrates their long-rotted bones and flesh and comes out, and it is often stuck in the bones and difficult to pull out.
The city defense troops who launched the assault had never fought against such an enemy before. They were at a loss for a moment and saw that the zombies were about to jump over the deer village and rush upwards.
At this time, a figure wearing strong armor jumped up on the battlefield. He shouldered a large rectangular shield with three pointed cones and collided with the skeleton.
Griffith could feel the shock of the impact from a distance. The two skeletons hit by the shoulder shield were shattered into a pile of bone fragments on the spot, and the invisible shock wave spread in an arc, covering the arc area at a ninety-degree angle in front of the shield.
All the living corpses were vibrated and ejected.
The defense line that was about to be broken through was immediately stabilized, but the zombie tide that had just been repelled immediately surged up again. The shield guard refused to retreat in the face of the surging zombie tide, and kicked the head of a ghoul that fell to the ground.
Crushed.
His right foot was slightly withdrawn, standing as tall as a rock, holding the heavy shield on his left shoulder horizontally, and grabbing it with his right hand, he pulled out a single-edged battle axe.
The face of this battle ax is very wide, and a red flame flows on the curved ax blade, and a suffocating heat wave spreads out to all sides.
The shield guard waved the flaming battle ax in his hand to face the black tide of corpses, as if he were facing a pile of dead wood waiting to be felled. He held the shield to block the wave of impact, and then swung the ax at the group of corpses coming in front.
Crescent-like flowing fire and wind pressure swept through the corpse group. The dozen or so living corpses clustered in front were instantly broken, shattering from their waists and chests, and the low wall was swept away in an instant.
Extraordinary ones!
Griffith realized that such skills and equipment must be the elite Beyonders who were ordered to come to support, and the flaming battle ax in their hands was probably a powerful sealed object.
With this Beyonder taking action, the defense line that had just been loosened immediately stabilized. Soon, dozens of soldiers armed with bows and arrows rushed up to the fortifications, aiming the ignited arrows at the monsters below.
Not only this position, but also the two nearby positions were filled with archers from the city defense army, throwing flames at the densely packed living corpses. The rest of the city defense army soldiers also began to use heavy hammers and axes to fight back at the living corpses.
The shield guard showed no interest in fighting. After repelling the group of corpses here, he retreated and turned around to support elsewhere. With his mobility, the defenders on the barrier could kill zombies or throw kerosene bottles in an orderly manner.
Like a meat grinder, it continuously consumes the power of the zombie tide.
Relying on the blocking of these barriers, many panicked citizens fled towards Raven's city gate like crazy.
As the perspective moved, Griffith discovered that Beacon's apprentice demon hunters Uros, Dylan and Pella were also fighting in nearby positions.
In addition to a large number of living corpses, the undead creatures that attacked their position also included ghouls and stitch monsters that Griffith had seen before. Among these two monsters, ghouls move quickly and fiercely, and are often hidden among living corpses.
They can injure people when they explode; the suture monsters rely on their strong vitality to resist the arrows and javelins projected by the defenders, and forcefully attack the fortifications of the barrier.
A powerful suture monster held a thick iron chain and swung it wildly in the tide of corpses, throwing it towards the shooter on the wall.
There was a sickle-like iron hook at the top of the chain, which whizzed past at an extremely fast speed and was nailed to the shooter's shoulder. The shooter immediately let out a shrill scream, and his comrades around him rushed to help him.
Get free from the iron hook.
At this time, the Stitch Monster Rot spun its fat body and pulled the chain hard. The unlucky archer was torn off the arrow tower, dragged more than ten meters between the ground and the fortifications, and was finally pulled into the tide of corpses.
Dismember the body in the middle.
Under the threat of these suture monsters, the archers on the position had to be cautious, and the support below them immediately became weak.
