Chapter 150: Fallen Into the Trap!
"Who are you? What are you going to do?!" Geralt roared.
But no one responded to him. Countless undead came like a tide.
Geralt chopped with a giant sword, and a large number of undead fell down with each sword. However, in the blink of an eye, these undead stood up again.
To kill these undead creatures, you have to kill them at least five times. This is the experience Geralt has accumulated in the past two days.
These undead creatures are not strong in attack ability, but they win in number. The undead army like a tide can drag a ninth-level peak knight to death.
At this time, Geralt felt like a trapped beast. There was no chance of turning around and he could only be dragged to death.
"Glory and Brilliance Slash!!"
While Geralt was fighting hard, a loud shout suddenly came from a distance, and then a brilliant sword light carrying dazzling lightning flew over from the sea in the north like Moses splitting the Red Sea.
All the undead creatures on the way, including an ancient ghost ship, were instantly annihilated.
The shining sword light came to Geraint, stopped for a moment, and dissipated into a light spot in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the dissipated light spot, Geraint's face was delighted: "Regan!"
This familiar sword light was the signature slash of his good friend Regarn Rainthorpe, the "Glory Brilliant Slash".
Like Geraint, Regarn is a member of the new generation of Templar Knights, but Regarn is much stronger than Geraint. He is the first genius among the new generation of Templar Knights to break through the "Breaking Domain Level".
Regarn is three years older than Geraint, 23 years old this year. The relationship between the two is both teacher and friend. Since Geraint joined the Templar Knights, Regarn has been responsible for teaching him, and the two have a good personal relationship.
When he was in a desperate situation, Geraint contacted Regarn as soon as possible, firstly because of their personal relationship, and secondly because Regarn was the Templar Knight guarding the Norwegian stronghold.
Two days passed, and all the information that Gerald had sent out fell on deaf ears. When he was about to run out of steam, he finally saw hope. Looking at the flashing lightning in the distance, Gerald almost cried with joy.
However, at this moment, the sea suddenly surged, and an octopus tentacle made a sonic boom and rushed straight to Gerald's back. Gerald sensed the danger, but he had no time to react.
The speed of the tentacle was too fast, and it was infinitely close to the speed of sound, causing a sonic boom, which was half a second slower than the tentacle.
With a puff.
Gerald looked down and saw that the tentacle had already pierced his left chest, and his heart was broken.
Gerald looked at the tentacle that pierced out of his left chest in disbelief. At this moment, Gerald looked at the knights rushing in the distance, and a terrifying idea flashed in his mind.
"These people who attacked me deliberately let me live until now. Their goal is to use me as bait to surround and attack the reinforcements!! Their goal is to eliminate all the high-end combat power of the Norwegian stronghold!"
The spirit in Geraint's eyes gradually disappeared, and resentment and anger surged in Geraint's mind. At the end of his life, Geraint used his last strength to shout in the direction of Regan: "Go! Go quickly..."
On the sea surface in the north, a team of knights rode on horses and galloped on the sea surface. The horses under their crotches could run on the sea surface as if they were walking on flat ground.
The young man in ice-blue thunder-patterned armor looked at Geraint, whose heart was pierced by the tentacles, with bloodshot eyes, and roared like crazy: "Gerant!!"
"Captain Reinsop, let's go! We have entered the enemy's encirclement. They are clearly surrounding and attacking the reinforcements! We have been fooled!" A knight beside Regan said anxiously.
But at this time, Regarn was already blinded by rage. Even though he had discovered that he was surrounded by the enemy, Regarn still rushed towards Gerald's body without hesitation, and in a blink of an eye, he distanced himself from the main force.
Regarn had only one thought at this time: "No matter what, we must get Gerald's body back. Even if the knights of the royal court die, they must be buried in the Hall of Honor."
Regarn was the first to rush to Gerald's body. Looking at Gerald's lifeless body, Regarn's eyes were bloodshot, and thunder surged around him, stirring up a thunderstorm that made the nearby undead dare not approach.
Regarn carried Gerald's body on his back, and only then did he see the situation on the battlefield clearly.
Dark clouds covered the sky, and the wind was blowing violently. Countless undead creatures were walking on the waves and had surrounded the entire knight team. Looking around, all the undead creatures were black.
"We've fallen into a trap! Sure enough, the connection between the Norwegian base and the royal court was cut off two days ago, which was a long-planned plan!" Regarn frowned and looked at everything in front of him with anger in his heart.
Two days ago, Regarn, who was responsible for guarding the Norwegian base, found that the floo network that connected with the royal court had a malfunction and could not contact the royal court.
Then even the communication crystal had problems. The Norwegian base was like an isolated island hanging overseas and could no longer receive any messages.
When Regarn found that all communications were cut off, he vaguely realized that someone was behind it.
The situation in Norway was chaotic. More than a month ago, the German army occupied the entire territory of Norway, and Grindelwald's saints also began to clear out the original magic administrative agencies in Norway.
Because the Knights of the Round Table were a secret organization, they were not affected when Norway fell. However, recently, the "saints" cleared out those magic administrative agencies and gradually began to focus on the secret forces in Norway.
The first thing that attracted the attention of the "Saints" was the "Valhalla" in the North Sea. The "Valhalla" belongs to the Nordic forces and is not among the "Seven Assemblies, Three Temples and Two God's Courts" in continental Europe. It can be regarded as an indigenous force in Northern Europe.
The foundation of the 'Hall of Valor' itself is not inferior to that of any of the 'Seven Halls and Three Halls'. Originally, Rhaegarn thought that Grindelwald and his 'saints' would run into trouble at the 'Hall of Valor'.
However, in early July, it was suddenly reported that Grindelwald's strength had further improved. Soon afterwards, Grindelwald personally went to the "Hall of Valor" in the North Sea. Three days later, the "Hall of Valor" announced that he would not leave the world, which was equivalent to a disguised recognition of Grindelwald. The legitimacy of this also indicates that Grindelwald single-handedly subdued the 'Hall of Valor', a secret force that has stood in the North Sea for thousands of years.
From then on, Regaon realized that something was wrong. After negotiating with the Royal Court, the Royal Court agreed with Regaon's idea of abandoning the Norwegian stronghold and gave him a month to inventory and transport all the belongings in the Norwegian stronghold.
It was almost time to evacuate the Norwegian stronghold. Unexpectedly, just two days ago, all communications in the Norwegian stronghold were cut off, and the Floo network failed to deliver supplies.
Lei Jiaen became more and more aware of the seriousness of the situation, but all the belongings in the stronghold had not been transferred. Although the value of the remaining two batches of goods was not as high as the previous batches, it was really distressing to leave them behind, so Lei Jia En took a chance. Wait two more days before making a decision.
However, just this morning, the communication that had been cut off for two days finally came out with a message...
