Chapter 31 (2/2)
Two soldiers within the forsword together As the heavy attack landed, the soldiers wobbled unsteadily
The dullahan swung its sword onceupwards
However, the monster’s second attack was defended as well but the shi+elds ended up developing noticeable cracks The soldiers who ably withstood the ghouls and their vicious attacks couldn’t endure the strike and were lifted up into the air, before crashi+ng back down on their rear
The for was created The spear-carrying soldiers behind beca!”
With these words, the panicking soldiers grasped their spears tightly and thrust them forward The weapons enhanced by divinity broke past the armor and pierced into the monster The dullahan howled out in pain, but it didn’t stop swinging its sword in every which way
“…Godda little…!”
The Imperial Prince jumped back up to his feet and tried to rush forward However, Jenald hurriedly held hihness!! Our opponent is a dullahan! The headless knight! It’s in another realhouls!”
Jenald quickly shut his mouth up, because the boy prince frowned and then suddenly extracted so else
The feudal lord’s eyes widened after realising what the I, stick-like weapon ca to see so that shouldn’t fit the volue so nonchalantly like that, but what shocked him even more was the type of the weapon itself
It was… a rifle?
What was he doing with that decorative piece?
– Gu-ohhhh!
The ghostly glare in the dullahan’s eyes burned fiercely When it swung its sword again, two soldiers were flung away helplessly The forhouls and zoain
The dullahan raised its head and snickered derisively Its dead eyes shi+fted around, until it spotted a s the humans
– Kkii-rik?
Just as thestick at itself…
A blinding flash of light exploded, and at the same time, the dullahan’s head exploded as well, only to scatter away as bits of ashes
With its head gone, the dullahan went down on its knees and toppled weakly forward
“Thought as much… shouldn’t have stepped forward…”
The I exhausted because, while still holding onto hisunhappily
As he stood on top of the fortress wall, Harman sed his dry saliva
It ell-known that the Positive Field repelled the de as the sun blazed overhead, an undead couldn’t exhibit that much power
However…
‘Even that is disappearing’
Harman looked up at the sky
The violent snowstorht almost as if to devour the sun itself He could sense a faint trace of dey fro’ created by the Vampire
‘Not only that, the sun is about to set too’
The battle that co any ti approached
Boom…! Boom…! Boom…!
A zombie wobbled as it continued to beat the war drum Every time the drum made out of human hide resounded out, zombies and skeletons screeched and howled out in rhythhts issued his command and the convicts quickly fired arrows and crossbow bolts
The advancing zombies and skeletons were bombarded with countless arrows The monsters raised shoddy shi+elds up to protect their heads Soon, the falling arrows penetrated their various body parts — ars, even their torsos Monsters faltered and fell, or even knelt down from the impact However, that was about it
The arrows and bolts couldn’t pierce past the shi+elds No, soh the monsters’ arms None were able to touch their heads
Normally the undeads were not able to run, yet, they advanced with quick steps and reached Ronia’s outer walls By using laddersup
– Kkiiieek, kkieek!
“Stop them!”
The arrows and bolts were now ai up the ladders The helms of the monsters were finally pierced as they tottered unsteadily before falling back down
More undead blankly stood at the botto their heads with shi+elds
They knew no such thing as fear They didn’t feel any pain either
No, they siiven If their heads weren’t accurately struck, these monsters would simply continue to cli army And that’s what made the undead such troublesome enemies
“…Dammit”
Harman watched this scene unfold and spat out an expletive
The other side was co as the heads filled with dey weren’t destroyed, these undead ain
So, the ene for a drawn-out war of attrition
‘No, wait The real problem isn’t the the zoe flew in and fell inside the fortress
Hare ‘ball’destroyed a house and continued to roll forward on the ground A short while later, it split apart and humanoid creatures scattered in all directions
“Zombie projectiles…”
What fleasn’t some boulders used to destroy the walls and equip flesh Zombies, in other words
“Goddammit…!”
Harman looked at the far-off distance outside the fortress walls
– Kuwohhhhhh…!
The fourThey scooped up the zoiri, began shaping their fellow undead into a ball Noises of bones and flesh being crushed froth resounded out loudly In so blood dripped out too
The zores then loaded the masses of flesh onto the catapults After this was done, the creaky skeletons tugged and wounded back the pulleys… before letting go
KWA-RURURURUK!!
The pulleys turned and the catapults shot forward
Once the soldiers witnessed this spectacle, they freaked out in despair
“O-oh, my God…!”
A portion of the catapulted flesh crashed into the outer wall and cruether, split apart and scattered to the ground
– Kk, kkiieeek…
After landing inside the fortress walls, these zoain despite their crushed liered back to their feet and dispersed in all directions
“Stop them!”
Numerous soldiers desperately thrust their spears out and defended against the zo over the fortress walls
There was a good possibility that the terrified regular citizens would get devoured without offering any resistance or be reborn as more undead
“Use the ballistas and stop those things!”
The convicts quickly took aie bolts were loaded and quickly fired at the zores
Sores’ bodies, but such a thing wasn’t threatening enough for the undead The zores wobbled only for a little while, and then, si their bodies and continued scooping zoritted his teeth at this sight
With how things were, he couldn’t even claiates Ene into the Ronia fortress’s interior, after all
At this rate…
‘…We’ll be overrun!’
His glare shi+fted over to the Vampire Count once hter atop its sedan chair
‘We need to stop them, no matter what At the very least, we need to stall for time until the Empire learns of the situation in this place… Until they send us reinforcements…!’
However, Harman still couldn’t think of a way
WuxiaWorldS i t e Only
A minimum of teeks would be needed before the Theocratic Empire learns of this situation By then, this fortress would have been completely overrun
Just as he clenched his fists out of sheer frustration and rage, a certain girl brushed past his front
“…??”
