56 [1-56] DDOS Nights (1/2)

Rene and his lich companions are hiding in an alley.

Overhead, the battle between the undead air force and the airborne cavalry was raging.

The light of sacred magic flashed intermittently, but they were able to hold out for the time being as they focused their protection on the airborne undead who could not be replaced.

We've got enough of them. What are the reports from the captains?

”As I thought, almost no divine magic users are on the front lines. I'm not sure what to make of this. It seems that the fact that the assassination squad was able to cause damage is having an effect.

Alastor from the main camp says over the caller.

He was collecting reports from the ghouls leading the front line and confirming the formation of the Order.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

Yes. It's still important to be careful, but the danger is probably much lower.

What are the conditions like inside the walls?

”It's deceptively quiet. They seem to be huddled in several places. There's a lot of them in the castle, but we can't get close enough to stealth them. They'll probably detect us.

...... We'll attack from the top of the wall as planned. We'll attack from the south gate. It's closer to the city gate.

Have the airborne cavalry attract the sky priests so they don't have time to look at the ground.

”Very well, sir.

I don't care if they find out, but I don't want them to notice until we breach the ...... gate.

If the first sorcerer is in a position to notice us, kill him, even if it means consuming a former knight.

I don't know.

He folded up the caller and handed it to his companion, Rich, who smiled.

It's ...... showtime.

It's showtime.

No matter how many of them there are, there is only so many of them that can be attached to the wall at once and try to get in.

Behind the undead soldiers on the wall, there was a large number of undead.

They were waiting at a distance where the rockets could not reach them, and they were intermittently attacking in small units.

However, most of the undead in reserve suddenly began to move towards the south gate at once.

What the hell?　What are you doing?

The knight on the wall shouts.

It was as if a black muddy stream was flowing over the ground.

Even the undead on the north side of the wall began to move towards the south gate, and anyone who could afford to glance down the wall noticed it.

”d*mn it!　They're trying to break through at one point!

But the only ones moving were the ones behind him.

But the only ones moving were the ones in the back. There were still undead clinging to them, trying to get over the wall.

There's nothing you can do even if you notice them.

Then I saw a knight running on the city wall.

Holding shields in their hands, the knights of the Second Order were protecting their comrades from the undead attack.

One for every several of those who were defending the southeast side.

The knights of the Second Order, who had been defending the southeast side of the wall, abandoned their positions simultaneously like the teeth of a comb falling out, and began to run on the wall towards the south gate.

”Hey!　Where are you going?

We're going to save the south gate!

And with that, they ran through the wall of undead and knights.

The city gates are surrounded by gate towers. It looks like an extension of the city wall.

The gates are made of alloy with heavy winding doors that drop into a ditch and cannot be easily broken.

However, there is a mechanism in the gate tower to hoist the door, and if this is overpowered, the gate can be opened.

The battle for the south gate was becoming more and more fierce, like a fire being kindled and gaining momentum.

One after another, ladders were hung, and arrows from the side towers shot down the undead who tried to climb them.

Even so, the number of undead on the wall was gradually increasing, and the pressure on the gate was getting stronger.

In the midst of the melee, the knights who had left the battlefield arrived.

I'm here to help!

The knights in the gate tower looked relieved when they saw the Second Order's men coming through the crowd of undead.

It's natural to be reassured by the fact that they had anticipated the enemy's movements and their allies had rushed to their aid.

”Thank God!

”All second?　All right, get to the front and form a wall!

We'll block the entrance!

The room with the hoisting machine can only be reached by climbing a narrow staircase from the top of the city wall. If the Second Order blocked the way, it would be easy to prevent intrusion.

However, the rushing members of the Second Order did not do as they were told.

Wait!　These guys are crazy. ......

The first knight's sorcerer tried to shout something while pointing his staff, but he was cut down in the process.

The second knight rushed to the scene.

”What the ......!
