Act 15 River Valley

The Silman River Valley has turned into a land of ashes, and the night is still dark. Under the moonlight, the undead army divides into several groups and marches along the rolling hills. Looking down the river beach, only a few are left in Owl Town. The ruins of stars and countless skeletons circled from both sides of the town, and the monotonous and tidy clicking sounds echoed in the wilderness. Between the long queues, piles of corpses towered high. Corpse witches were picking out intact remains from them, and then reawakening them into warriors. The cold wind at night blew from the direction of the pass, seeming to carry the yīn they chanted. The dense spell made the atmosphere in the entire valley even more eerie.

The blood staff stood alone in the night wind, the cold wind still tugging at the corners of the ghoul's robe. It glanced at a mutilated corpse not far away. It should be a human militiaman. Judging from the wounds, he should have died. Only half of the body was left in the hands of the fear spirit, and the hand was still tightly grasping a sharp rock on the ground. It could imagine that he must have desperately tried to break free before he died, but the fear spirit used its sharp claws to tear him apart. of his body. It raised its head again and looked into the river valley. The battle in the river valley had long ended. There was no living creature anywhere it could see, only dead silence.

This is a perfect victory.

As if witnessing the prophecy in the Black Prophecy Book, the kingdom in the darkness in the east will surely rise.

"Those pathetic Eruin bastards must not understand why they lost so miserably." Behind the blood staff, a young man with a face as pale as a dead man showed his snow-white teeth and smiled. He had no fangs and no He looked like a black knight with ghostly eyes, no necromancy marks on his body, and he was not a necromancer. He was wearing a neat black dress, as if he had just returned from a funeral. He took a deep breath: "The taste of magic in the land is really fragrant. If it is in the Sea of ​​the Dead Moon, only the real great lords are qualified to own such a territory."

He looked at the blood staff again and shook his head with great pity: "I really don't understand why you can't defeat such a weak opponent. I don't understand, but such a humble guy is not qualified to occupy such a good land. This kingdom will All that’s left is the tombstones and the cemetery.”

The blood staff snorted coldly. These dark lords came from the Sea of ​​the Dead Moon. It is said that the conflict between the undead wizards and the undead wizards in the magic barren lands in the east is even more ruthless, which is the place of the Four Wars. However, these unruly guys are indeed very powerful. The necromancers there invented the spell of extracting half-corporeal and half-spirit fear spirits from the bodies of pterosaurs, as well as a method for corpse witches to command skeleton knights. Their addition greatly The land has enriched his army, and now Eruin is no longer in his eyes. In his opinion, whether it is the Southern Army or the Vanmere Army, they are all vulnerable. Only the Highland Knights are worthy of a fight. war.

"I heard that there is a white lion army in the north of the human kingdom. I wonder what its combat capability is?" The young man turned around and asked.

"There used to be one, but it was defeated by the southern army. I heard that the little princess dismembered the army belonging to her brother. Now that army is no longer in name only for this kingdom.

"Eruin's civil war between the north and the south has only ended less than four months ago, and the blood stick is not very clear about the details of that war, but even so, there are still many rumors and losers who have experienced the war at that time flowing into the dark country. What I choose to believe is what most dark lords currently agree with.

"That's not worth mentioning."

The young man's contemptuous tone spread far away along the night wind. Above his head, under the starry night, a fearful spirit was screaming across the night sky, and behind it were dozens of monsters with the same wings spread. Like a floating shadow, it passed over the entire valley area. Viewed from the sky, dots of phosphorescent light formed on the earth, forming three neat long dragons. The heads of the long dragons were passing through the Golan-Elsen Pass and entering the Slovak region. In front of them, there was already an endless lowland area.

That was the capital of the province, in the direction of Fort Kurk.

But in the hilly area further away in the east, a small group of people and horses is standing on the edge of the forest. "One, two, three, four..." A group of fourteen people, standing beside the horses, have a somewhat sallow and thin complexion. The boy was counting the fires in the valley below in a low voice. The nearest fire looked no more than the size of a fingernail at this distance, while the farther ones looked like the embers and sparks of a campfire. These fires were distributed far and near across the entire Xi'er. In the Man River Valley, like a string of beads in the night, the young man's face became a little ugly. After counting, he turned back to the others and replied: "The White Wings Cavalry Regiment should be all gone, Owl Town, Roden, Mo Town, Completely, I don’t know how many people survived, I guess not many, Thumbs and the others just came back from Roden a few days ago, and there are not many people who escaped, these people should all be dead."

"Can you please say a few less words? It sounds really harsh." The young man who was still sitting on the horse was a little angry. If they had heard in the past that the entire White Wing Cavalry Regiment had been wiped out, they would have high-fived each other, but in person Seeing such a scene, everyone present felt a little unable to laugh. Every ball of fire in the darkness was countless lives. This reminded them of their hometown. If it was true as the Lord Lord said, maybe one day The whole of Eruin would look like this, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Everyone present had the same idea at the moment. They all turned around and looked at the young man wearing a vest and shirt standing at the end. Caglis was putting down the brass telescope in his hand and handed it to a man next to him. The young non-commissioned officer of the White Lion Guard, after experiencing the Battle of Ampersel, he and the young people around him rarely see the youthfulness they had in Tonigel, and their every move has become calmer, or Say, like a real soldier. He looked at these young men dressed like mountain people. Some of them should be the people who were rescued from the Shafrund Mine by the Lord at that time. Brando once told him that these people were destined to achieve great success. , he still didn't believe it, but now it seems that the lord's ability to foresee the future is indeed extraordinary.

The young man named Ke Wen led a group of them directly over the Grahal Mountain after leaving Schavlund. When the Southern Army left, they attacked the mining area south of the Tosankad Forest and dragged out a large number of torture prisoners there. Then go east and enter the hills of the Silman area, where you are the king of the mountains. Although you still can't get rid of the atmosphere of bandits, it has gradually become the climate. The key is that the group of prisoners selected by the young man were almost all those who had offended the nobles and were exiled, but none of the truly tough and rebellious people were wanted. On the surface, it seemed a bit unwise. But if you taste it carefully, there is something else in it. That young man was not simple at all. Caglilis thought silently in his heart, "Mr. Kalilis, what should we do now? Should we go back first?" At this time, the young man on horseback asked.

"Shh-" Caglis raised a finger and made a silent gesture to the others.

"Is there a situation?"

Caglis nodded.

"Hurry and take cover!"

The group of people quickly retreated from the open area at the top of the hill into the forest behind them. About a minute later, a whistling wind passed overhead. The young people hiding in the bushes stared at the shadows flying above their heads with pale faces. There were seven of them, flying back and forth. Caglis was the first to pull the horse up from the ground. Sergeant White Lion shook his head and said, "It's not a white-bone vulture. I've never seen such a thing before."

"Is it a bone dragon?" the young people were chattering.

But Caglis pursed his lips and shook his head. It's not a bone dragon. The bone dragon carries the innate fear aura of advanced undead creatures. He had seen Aloz in Valhalla, and it had some influence on the aura of dragon creatures. When those things passed over their heads just now, he I didn't feel the slightest bit of panic from the bottom of my heart. What's more, for a bone dragon, those things are too small.

"Mr. Caglis?"

"They seem to be looking for something." Caglis replied, "Let's take a look first. It's not so easy for them to find us in the hills. When daytime comes, the undead will shrink their defenses, and it won't be too late to return then. "

…

A dozen skeleton knights were galloping along the mountain road. The metal chain armor on the war horses collided and clattered in the night. When the horses' hooves hit the ground heavily, the sound they made was far different from the thick and heavy sound of ordinary war horses. On the contrary, It seemed a little hollow, like a sound coming from the netherworld. In the valley they were always looking at, their eyes burning with soul fire soon reflected two human cavalry who were running wildly. The other party had been fleeing in this direction for half an hour, and the horse that was sitting down was almost there. I can't support it anymore.

The leading skeleton knight pointed his Stygian steel scimitar downwards, and dozens of undead knights immediately turned around, rushed into the forest, and chased down the hillside. In this area, the woods and shrubs on the hillside were relatively sparse. But there were still skeleton knights crashing into trees from time to time and being shattered to pieces. However, the remaining undead didn't even look at their defeated counterparts. After passing through the nearly 100-meter-long forest, they suddenly emerged from the meadow area. . When Ivan turned around, he happened to see this scene. Under the bright moonlight, eleven skeleton knights shot out of the dark and dense forest with green phosphorus fire in their eyes. Their bare arms held up spears and scimitars, shining brightly in the moonlight. The ground reflected a cold light, and he couldn't help but be scared out of his wits.

"Xianali, we are dead!"

"Shut up!" Shanali replied angrily, but he knew in his heart that he might really die this time. These damn skeletons don't know what endurance is, and they might just keep chasing until dawn. , but there was still a long time before dawn. After such a long period of galloping, and still in the mountains, the horses they sat on could no longer hold on for that long.

"Hey, kid," he suddenly shouted.

"What?" Ivan replied out of breath. His face was pale and his forehead was covered in cold sweat, as if he had a serious illness. His riding skills were only average, and he was limited to being able to ride. It is a miracle that a horse is able to gallop in the mountains due to the pressure of survival. However, the things he encountered along the way were enough to scare him out of his wits. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have fallen down the mountain stream or hit the tree and died.

"I'll lure them away, and you run east. When you enter a dense forest, abandon your horse and run for your life. Once you get there, you'll be safe." Shanali took a breath and replied.

The young man's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the back of the old cavalry and almost cried. He quickly shook his head firmly: "No, let's go together. You rescued me. How could I leave you and run for my life? I can't do it." arrive!"

"If you can't do it, you have to die together, idiot." Shanali cursed.

"If we die together, we will die together!"

"Don't be stupid, we don't need to give them double battle merit." Shanali reprimanded loudly, and then added to himself: "Okay, although battle merit may not mean anything to them."

"Then I'll lure them away. You saved me once, and I'll save you once. We're just even." Ivan replied. Shanali glanced at him and couldn't help but sneered: "Don't be ridiculous, it's only because of your poor riding skills that you didn't get killed by Martha. If you try to distract them, the final result will not be together." Hang up." Ivan suppressed his blush, but knew that what Shanali said was the truth, and couldn't say a word.

"Okay, you still have your fiancée to see, but I have nothing to worry about. I'll go get some helpers later, and you can live on with me." The old cavalryman shook his head: "Listen up, recruits, Don't be so coquettish and act like a bitch. I'm telling you, I owed you more lives on the battlefield than you have ever eaten. Now it's my turn to repay my old comrades. Go. Come on, live well."

Ivan stared at him closely, knowing that he had made up his mind. He gritted his teeth to force himself not to cry, but he couldn't make a sound and could only nod his head. "That's right." Shanali seemed to be saying to himself. He suddenly drew his sword from his waist, shouted, tightened the reins, turned around and killed the skeleton knights. The young man seemed to hear what he shouted clearly - it was for Eruin. But following the sound of the wind, it sounded vaguely like the howling of wild animals.

He turned around and drove his horse forward desperately, but looked at Shanali's getting smaller and smaller figure behind him. He rushed into the enemy formation, chopped down a skeleton knight with one sword, and then inserted himself between them. However, those simple-minded skeletons were obviously shaken. They quickly turned around and chased Shanali. Soon, the chasing parties disappeared.

But just a few seconds later, he heard a faint shout coming from the forest over there:

"You damn skeleton, go to hell!"

"Rosa——!"

Ivan coughed loudly, as if he felt a pungent feeling filling his lungs, but he understood that Shanali didn't have much time left for him, and those skeletons would soon catch up again. He raised his head, Wanting to find the forest that Shanali told him about. But there is only an open mountainside meadow in the field of vision, a flat area, and some sparse woodland a little further away, but it is impossible to avoid the pursuit of Madala's undead in this kind of forest.

He drove his mount forward anxiously, bypassing a large forest, and a more open grassland appeared behind the shrubs, but at the end of the grassland, something like a black carpet vaguely appeared at the far end of the field of vision.

It's a forest!

Ivan felt happy, but then he felt a bit bitter in his mouth. The distance was too far, at least several miles away, and he himself didn't know if the war horse he was sitting on could last so long. Suddenly there was a hollow sound of horse hooves behind him, and he felt something. When he turned around, he saw several skeleton knights appearing at the edge of the forest. There were seven in total. Shanali killed four skeletons by himself. Knight - but unfortunately the rest are not something he can deal with, "No, you must live!" Ivan gritted his teeth and said to himself, now his life not only belongs to himself, but also to his fiancée , and Shanali, no matter what, he will try his best.

He clamped the horse's belly and let the spurs pierce the horse's belly to make it go faster and try to distance itself. But the monsters behind him were as fast as floating ghosts. The two sides kept their distance for about a few minutes, and the forest in front was about to be close. But at this time, Ivan felt a lightness in his body, like a huge force. A strong force came from behind, and the whole person flew into the air and fell heavily on the grass. He fell to pieces, and there were burning scratches all over his body and arms, but his mind was very clear and he understood what had happened. He grabbed the dirt and climbed up and looked back, and sure enough he saw his horse lying on the ground, mouth Foaming at the mouth is no longer an option. Ivan couldn't help but scream. The forest was only a hundred meters away from him, but he failed at the last moment. He tried to stand up and run forward, but he fell to the ground again just as he stood up.

He rolled into a ball on the ground in pain, only to realize that his leg had been broken.

It's over.

Ivan was filled with despair. The terrifying riders behind him and the skeletal horses they were sitting on were getting closer and closer, but he could only close his eyes and wait for death.

But at this moment, a silver light suddenly flashed in the forest ahead. This silver light made Ivan startled slightly. Before he could react, he saw the skeleton knight rushing at the front suddenly turned over and fell off his horse. On its bare skull was a feather that was still shaking slightly. arrow. The cold light in the forest was just the beginning. As if suddenly, a dozen black figures jumped out of the forest. They were cavalry, but they were definitely not from the White Wings Cavalry Regiment, because Ivan had already seen those cross-country warriors. The armor on the approaching cavalry shimmered faintly in the moonlight, and the lion's head on the armor shone brightly.

The cavalry staggered past him, their hooves falling like rain. The young man was still dreaming. He vaguely remembered that he had heard of such an army there.

"Soldiers, follow me to attack and crush these bastards!"

Caglis's roar resounded throughout the valley for a moment.
