Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Destroying the Army of the Undead then going To the Lair of the Undead
Under the leadership of Bernier, the soldiers of Redwood City united and bravely fought against the enemy.
However, as time passed, the balance of victory continued to shift rapidly towards the undead.
The skeleton mages in the undead army used necromancy to summon a large number of skeletons, forming protective slopes outside the city walls.
With these skeletal slopes, the skeleton warriors and skeleton knights in the undead army could directly charge up the city walls.
In this situation, the pressure on the city wall defenses became increasingly intense.
The casualties among the soldiers became increasingly severe.
"How long has the request for reinforcements been sent out?"
"When can we expect my father's reinforcements to arrive?"
Seeing the rapid decrease in soldiers on the city walls, Bernier couldn't help but feel anxious and couldn't help but ask the steward beside him.
Faced with the master's inquiry, the steward didn't dare to neglect and answered immediately,
"Before the undead surrounded Redwood City, I had already sent someone on a fast warhorse to deliver the request for reinforcements."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Lord Rennes should have received the letter by now and is rushing over to our side."
"If they march urgently, they should arrive in no more than ten minutes."
"Ten minutes?"
Upon hearing this, Bernier's complexion immediately improved.
Although the city wall defenses were currently in a precarious state, he still had the elite guards of the Lord's Manor that he hadn't deployed yet.
If he let this unit take over, holding on for ten minutes shouldn't be a problem, and the reinforcements would arrive.
Thinking of this, Bernier immediately took action.
To boost morale, he personally put on armor and led the elite warriors of the Lord's Manor to fight against the skeleton warriors charging up the city walls.
To become the lord of a city, besides being the son of Rennes, Bernier's intelligence and strength were naturally not lacking.
He possessed a high magical aptitude himself.
Under Rennes' careful cultivation since childhood, Bernier had already become a sixth-tier mage.
Fireball, Exploding Fireball...
Under these destructive fire magic attacks, the undead forces on the slopes were continuously being wiped out.
The guards of the city lord's manor, consisting of dozens of third-tier warriors, were responsible for eliminating any remaining enemies.
Soon, the undead on the eastern side of the city wall were quickly cleared out.
Followed by the south, west, north...
"Long live the city lord!"
Seeing their own city lord display great power, all the soldiers were instantly filled with happiness and they instantly started even more enthusiastically.
They worked together to eliminate the skeleton warriors continuously pouring onto the city wall.
And so, seven minutes passed.
The defense line of the city wall remained very stable.
Just when Bernier thought they could hold on for ten minutes.
The commander of this undead army, a high-level vampire named Rad, made a move.
Only to see.
That high-level vampire transformed into countless bats.
Like a dark cloud pressing down, the bats rushed onto the city wall and began to crazily suck the blood of the soldiers.
"Ahhhh."
"Arghhh."
In an instant, countless screams of agony rang out.
In less than a minute.
Over a hundred soldiers on the west side of the city wall were all sucked dry and turned into dried corpses.
With no obstruction.
A large number of skeleton warriors rushed up from the west side of the city wall.
Surging towards the other sides of the city walls.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this scene, Bernier's expression drastically changed.
He immediately led the elite soldiers around him to reinforce.
Attempting to block the gap in the defense line on the west city wall.
However, after sucking the blood of the soldiers on the west city wall dry, that high-level vampire turned its attention to the soldiers on the north city wall.
Watching the bats flying towards them in the sky.
The soldiers responsible for defending the north city wall instantly panicked.
Running in all directions.
The defense line began to collapse completely.
The situation was rapidly deteriorating.
It can be foreseen, if this continues, in less than three minutes, Redwood City will completely fall.
It will become a paradise for the undead.
Just when everyone is in despair.
A golden light filled with a holy aura swiftly flied towards this side from the distant sky.
In less than ten seconds, it reaches above Redwood City.
At this moment, the people in Redwood City finally saw what this golden light was.
It is a winged unicorn warhorse, and the person who's riding on the horse's back, is Rennes.
"I didn't expect the situation in Redwood City to be so dire."
"Fortunately, I rode the Holy Light Warhorse halfway and arrived here first.
"Otherwise, Redwood City would probably not have a single living person left."
Watching the undead army occupy the city walls and charge towards Redwood City, Rennes drew the Storm Great sword from his waist and slashed it mid-air towards the undead army below.
The next second.
Countless holy auras sword slashes that emitted a purifying aura of all evil burst through the air.
Wherever these slashes passed by, whether it's a skeleton warriors, skeleton mages, or vampires with advanced transcendent strength, they all turn into nothingness.
In the blink of an eye.
The undead on the city walls were all completely annihilated.
Then, with two more sword strikes.
This undead army that almost destroyed Redwood City was completely wiped out.
As if it had never appeared before.
"Am I dreaming?"
All the soldiers muttered to themselves, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
The gaze towards Rennes is as if they are looking at a deity.
After resolving the crisis in Redwood City.
Rennes landed on the city wall while still riding the Holy Light Warhorse.
"Father."
Bernier was the first to lead the people to greet him.
At the same time, he wanted to apologize to Rennes.
After all, as the lord of the city, he was unable to defend the city, allowing the undead army to invade Redwood City.
If it weren't for his father arriving in time, he was afraid Redwood City would have already become a paradise of the dead.
"It's not your fault."
Rennes waved his hand and said.
In his opinion, Bernier had done well.
Sending out a call for help in time, leading the soldiers of Redwood City to resist the undead army.
As for the breach in the city wall, that was an unavoidable consequence of the battle.
The armed forces of Redwood City could never withstand the attack of tens of thousands of undead.
It was already commendable that Bernier was able to hold on until now.
Skipping this topic, Rennes then began to inquire about the specifics of these undead.
However, Bernier didn't know much either.
After all, these undead seemed to appear too suddenly and out of nowhere.
So he didn't have time to investigate.
The only thing that could be confirmed was these undead initially appeared in a deep valley northwest of Redwood Forest.
This information was obtained from the lumberjacks who escaped back to Redwood City.
So it had a high degree of credibility.
"It seems that's where the source of these undead is."
Knowing the origin of these undead, Rennes immediately prepared to go and investigate.
He didn't want such an extremely unstable factor to exist within his territory.
All the undead must be completely eliminated.
After waiting for a few minutes, the knight guards all arrived at Redwood City.
After letting these subordinates take over the defense of the city, ensuring the safety of Redwood City while investigating the source of the undead.
Then, Rennes, alone, mounted on the holy light warhorse, flew towards the depths of Redwood Forest.
