Chapter 280 Recovering the Homeland, Battle of Starry Night City (Part 3)
There were explosions everywhere.
The corpse tower attached to the city wall collapsed, and the corpses fell everywhere. The defenders on the city wall felt the pressure fade away like a tide.
As a large number of corpses were killed, a certain existence in the depths of darkness suddenly opened its eyes.
"The breath of living things must be killed."
In the Lord's Hall of Starry Night City, a twisted giant stitched corpse roared furiously, squeezed open the door, and walked out of the building.
He kept making strange noises with his disgusting head. Hearing the call of the corpse lord, all kinds of deformed monsters in Starry Night City seemed to have restarted the switch, waking up one by one, and slowly approaching the corpse lord.
"Where is Acorn?"
However, no matter how he called, he could not sense the familiar existence of the corrupted God's Chosen. He didn't know that Acorn had been chopped by Rosaria a long time ago.
The corpse lord yelled in confusion: "Acorn, I'm in the hall of Starry Night City, where the hell are you?"
The corpse lord, who could not sense the Chosen One, was furious and helpless. His huge arms picked up a corpse beside him and ate most of it in one bite.
Hearing the lord's roar, all the high-level corpses in Starry Night City gathered together, including twelve second-level corpses, five third-level corpses, and a corrupted dog that had just reached the fourth level.
"Kill them all!"
The corpse lord gave an order and led his men to rush directly to Field's defense line.
"Set fire."
Seeing the corpses collapse, the people on the south wall of Starry Night City followed Field's order, lit firewood, and threw a lot of fire starters under the wall.
Soon, dots of fire began to light up, and the corpses instinctively tried to suppress the flames, but they had suffered heavy losses before, and their numerical advantage was greatly weakened.
After a moment, Field smelled a disgusting smell, rotten flesh and blood, the stench of burning by the flames, all around.
Fortunately, he had chosen the right wind direction. If the smoke blew in his direction, everyone would be choked to death or die of the stench.
The dim northern province was faintly shining with orange flames, reflecting the entire sky.
Countless corpses were engulfed by the flames and twisted to the ground.
"It's burning!"
Field laughed and threw the torch in his hand.
The branches and leaves cut down by the big manor and the straw obtained from the harvest were for this moment. Every time the dragon wolf blew a flame and every time Alison hit the Vulcan disc, a sky-high fire was ignited under the wall.
The corrupted creatures were also afraid of flames. The ignited corpses went completely crazy, running around or climbing up hysterically.
The south of Starry Night City was originally a residential area and slums, with a lot of miscellaneous items. The flame spread rapidly from point to surface at an astonishing speed, and the stars and flames quickly connected into an endless sea of fire.
"Ahem."
Field wrinkled his nose, the smell of decay and burning was too bad.
"Great, Starry Night City is going to be recaptured, this is a big event that can make the Empire famous!" Alison was shocked, and a rare admiration appeared in her eyes, "The commander of the Empire didn't even think of the strategy of occupying the city wall and then setting it on fire."
"This is just the beginning, Starry Night City is just one of the three outer territories, and the Empire's army was defeated in the depths of the province."
Without any pride, Field said calmly: "Fame in the Empire will not bring many benefits, we'd better conceal the matter of retaking the city."
Field knew very well what kind of a bunch of idiots the Empress of the Empire and her men were.
He didn't get any of the subsidies that were promised at the beginning, but he had a lot of troubles.
Alison slowly put down his arm and was stunned for a moment: "You don't seem happy."
Everyone was obviously working hard, but the lord still had a stern face. Alison became sad again. Sure enough, everyone in the Ross family was the same.
It was a mistake after all.
Field had no idea that she had so many inner thoughts, but seeing her frustrated face, Field patted her head gently.
Alison was patted on the head and seemed a little overwhelmed. She had almost no physical contact with the opposite sex.
"It's not about being happy or not, I just don't like to open champagne at halftime." Field remained vigilant and said coldly, "According to Ashina's information, there are a large number of high-level corpses in Xingye City, and they haven't appeared yet. This is unreasonable."
Before he finished speaking, a burning corpse whizzed past him.
"Fuck, I seem to be dazzled. I just saw a corpse flying past."
Field was startled, wiped his eyes, and saw another corpse flying past him.
"Woo~" The long horn was blown again.
"The enemy threw the corpse up, be alert!" A soldier shouted to remind his comrades.
Sticking his head out of the parapet, Field saw a huge corpse with strengthened hands through the burning flames. The corpse grinned, grabbed the fellow beside him, twisted his waist and hips, and threw him directly onto the city wall.
"Sure enough, a high-level corpse appeared."
Before Field gave an order.
Surrounded by a pile of high-level corpses, a stitched corpse as tall as two stories slowly walked out of the flames. The armor fragments stuck in its muscles made it difficult for everyone to tell that this corpse was a human. Field could tell at a glance that this corpse was the uncrowned king here.
"Buzz~"
In the orange flames below, dozens of giant bone spurs suddenly burst out, flashing coldly.
The speed was too fast, and Field couldn't even remind everyone. He took a step forward and smashed the gluttonous sword, knocking two of them away.
At the same time, accompanied by the sound of flesh and blood bursting and screams, several soldiers and slaves on the city wall were pierced by giant bone spurs.
"Roar~" The face of the corpse lord was distorted, but he was obviously laughing wildly. He said in a voice that was indistinguishable between male and female, "You, ant, I will taste your flesh and blood carefully!"
"Damn things, I'll wait for you."
Field didn't care about the etiquette of the nobility, and angrily spitted at the bottom: "Come on! Today I will give you a headgear to pull all the ground."
With a roar, all the high-level corpses shook, and the tyrannical power burst out, rushing towards the city wall together. The ordinary corpses burned by the flames around also found the backbone and launched a desperate charge.
The crossbowmen on the city wall had used up the arrows in the quiver and it was difficult to draw the bow. Fortunately, the crossbow was powerful, and a crossbow could use the firepower of ten people.
The dense network of arrows harvested the corpses below in large areas.
"Boom!"
The high-level corpses all exerted their most powerful abilities, and countless attacks fell on the weak point of the city wall, and the thick wall was suddenly pierced through. Even with the defense bonus of Gogris, it only delayed the breach.
"It's time." Field took up the wall, holding the Gluttony Greatsword in one hand, and turned his head and said, "Ashina, you will deal with the Corruption Lord. Alison will delay the Corruption Dog, and I will go to kill other high-level corpses."
"Leave it to me."
