Chương 87: Destroy The Army Of The Undead And Go To The Lair Of The Undead

Under the leadership of Bernier, the soldiers of Cedar 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 Cedar City, I had already sent someone on a fast horse 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 town, besides being the son of Rennes, Bernier's intelligence and strength were naturally not lacking.

He possessed advanced magical talent himself.

Under Rennes' careful cultivation since childhood, Bernier had already become a sixth-order mage.

Fireball, Exploding Fireball...

Under these destructive fire magic attacks, the undead forces on the slopes were continuously being wiped out.

The great emperor's remains turned into ashes.

The guards of the city lord's mansion, consisting of dozens of third-tier warriors, were responsible for eliminating any remaining enemies.

Soon.

The undead on the eastern 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 morale.

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, they rushed onto the city wall and began to crazily suck the blood of the soldiers.

"Ah~"

"Ah~" In an instant, countless screams of agony rang out.

In less than a minute.

Over a hundred soldiers on the west 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 city wall.

Surging towards the other city walls.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, Niel'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.

This was obviously in vain.

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 is rapidly deteriorating.

It can be foreseen.

If this continues, in less than two minutes, Red Cedar City will completely fall.

It will become a paradise for the undead.

Just when everyone is in despair.

A golden light filled with a sacred aura swiftly flies towards this side from the distant sky.

In less than ten seconds, it reaches above Red Cedar City.

At this moment.

The people in Red Cedar City finally see what this golden light is.

It is a winged unicorn warhorse.

A person is riding on the horse's back.

It is Rennes.

"I didn't expect the situation in Red Cedar City to be so dire."

"Fortunately, I rode the Holy Light Pegasus halfway and arrived here first.

"Otherwise, Red Cedar City would probably not have a single living person left."

Watching the undead army occupy the city walls and charge towards Red Cedar City, Rennes draws the Storm Greatsword from his waist and slashes it in mid-air towards the undead army below.

The next second.

Countless holy sword auras that emit a purifying aura of all evil burst through the air.

Wherever they pass.

Whether it's 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 are completely annihilated.

Then, two more sword strikes.

In the astonished gazes of everyone.

This undead army that almost destroyed Red Cedar City is completely wiped out.

As if it had never appeared before.

"Am I dreaming?"

All the soldiers mutter 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 Red Cedar City.

Rennes lands on the city wall riding the Holy Light Warhorse.

"Father."

Bernard is the first to lead the people to greet him.

At the same time, he wants 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 Red Cedar City.

If it weren't for Rennes arriving in time, I'm afraid Red Cedar City would have already become a prison 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 Red Cedar 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 Red Cedar 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 appeared too suddenly.

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 Red Cedar Forest.

This information was obtained from the lumberjacks who escaped back to Red Cedar City.

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 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 Red Cedar City.

Letting these subordinates take over the defense of the city, Ensuring the safety of Red Cedar City.

Then, Rennes, alone, Mounted on a holy light pegasus, Flew towards the depths of Red Cedar Forest.
