The holy knight's armor was already covered in blood, but the presence of his Combat Energy allowed his body to stand tenaciously on the city wall. The retreating soldiers suddenly realized that their commander was still fighting on the city wall. The adjutant shouted the commander's name and rushed to the city wall, only to see the holy knight who was blocking the undead army with his own strength making a 'no' gesture to him.
At this moment, the retreating holy knights understood the thoughts of their respected commander. They slowed down their footsteps and looked at the figure who was still fighting on the city wall. They silently saluted and then ran to the inner city without looking back.
Sacrifice, dedication.
Every knight had their own goal in their heart. At this moment, there was no need for too many words. All actions were the embodiment of the height a knight could reach in this life.
"Holy Light Protection!"
A golden light descended from the sky and instantly enveloped the knight who was fighting alone. A translucent golden shield appeared around his body, and all the attacks from the undead were fiercely repelled.
He threw away the broken machete in his hand and picked up a longsword on the ground. He swung it forward abruptly, and the ripples of Combat Energy wrapped around the undead in front of him cut them in half. At the next moment, intense flames fell from the sky and enveloped him!
"Boom!
Boom!
Boom! "
Three huge fireballs bombarded his body, but they were repelled by the golden shield. They did not hurt him at all!
"Ha!"
He abruptly raised his right leg and kicked a giant zombie that was twice his size away. The zombie staggered and crashed into a large group of skeletons behind it before falling off the city wall. However, even though the zombie was sent flying, more zombies rushed in. His vision was already flooded by the undead, but the undead army below the city wall was still surging forward as if there was no end to them.
He brandished his weapon tirelessly, and the golden radiance was gradually overshadowed by the surging undead. But in the next moment, with a furious roar, the shockwave from the Combat Aura explosion blew away a layer of stone slabs on the entire city wall!
But at the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared above the knight.
He waved the scepter in his hand slightly, and the angel on it flapped its wings slightly. He looked at the knight on the city wall expressionlessly. The knight had just raised his head when he felt his body being sent flying by a great force.
Boom!
A dazzling light suddenly shot out from the top of the scepter, and the knight who was struck into the sky was actually smashed to the ground by another force from the sky for the second time!
"Bang!"
His body smashed into the horde of zombies on the city wall, like a stone smashed into a pond. The violent impact directly crushed more than ten zombies into pieces, and even the ground cracked in the shape of a spider web.
"Holy Light is eternal!"
The golden shield was still working. The Knight did not suffer any damage. He stood up, ignored the attacks of the undead around him, and charged straight at Savile in the sky!
Saville floated silently in the sky, not moving at all in the face of the knight's all-out attack. After taking a few steps forward, the extraordinarily brave knight leaped up and the radiance of his fighting aura exploded once again, propelling his body towards Saville in a suicidal attack!
The short sword in his hand was like a torch in the darkness, illuminating the surrounding scenery. The roaring undead below looked up at the knight who flew over their heads, only to be blasted away by the violent Combat Energy!
Boom!
Hit!
The short sword in the knight's hand fiercely slashed in front of Savile, and the shield in the air shattered. But the second and third shields made the knight realize that he was powerless!
"A brave act."
Savile stared fixedly at the shining golden knight in front of him, and gently stretched out the scepter in his hand. A violent magical fluctuation suddenly flashed in the air, and the armored knight was immediately fixed in the air!
As if bound by countless ropes, the golden shield that blocked the violent impact began to dim. As Savile expressionlessly waved his hand again, the knight's body was directly shot by a beam of light that was as thick as a bowl's mouth!
The light passed through the knight's body, leaving a huge scar on the knight's heart. The knight's body suddenly stopped struggling, and then fell to the ground like a broken doll.
He did not loosen his grip on the weapon in his hand until his death. The golden Combat Energy had already disappeared, and the corpse that fell to the ground was trampled by the countless zombies that surged up the city wall. In an instant, it became an inconspicuous member of the vast sea of zombies.
Goska King, the leader of the Knights of Light of Lambas, a ninth-grade Great Knight of Light, had fallen on the city wall of Sith Palace in the Empire of Saint Reims.
* * *
The civilians felt fear. The destruction of the outer city wall meant the collapse of the city's defensive line. Although there was still the inner city wall as the second line of defense, in this era of cold weapons, the loss of the city wall was a huge blow to the confidence of the civilians, especially when the Necromancers increased the intensity of their attacks. The sky full of fireballs began to pour like a meteor shower towards the inner city of Sith Palace!
Fear spread!
No one knew who took the lead, but many civilians actually walked out of their tightly shut doors. They held onto their last glimmer of hope and rushed to Pajal Palace, which was the final line of defense. But more than a thousand civilians were blocked by the cold iron gate in front of Pajal Palace.
This gate was almost as tall as the outer city gate of Sith Palace, and the entire Pajal Palace was in a state of lockdown.
Needless to say, the nobles were scared out of their wits. They did not dare to open the iron gate again. They were afraid that their lives, which were as worthless as the civilians, would be buried in this catastrophe.
"Open the gate!"
"Open the gate!"
…
Countless pleas moved the soldiers in Pajal Palace, but they had to obey the orders of their superior. Faced with the civilians' fearful faces, none of the soldiers dared to do anything else. Because the consequence of violating the military law was … execution on the spot.
"What are you doing?!"
Suddenly, an angry roar came from not far away. It was from a viscount. He looked very old, and at this moment, he strode towards the iron gate of Pajal Palace. This noble opened his eyes wide and looked at the indifferent soldiers around him. He shouted angrily, "Why don't you open it?!"
"Sir!"
Beside him, there were a few men who looked like servants who were begging bitterly. They followed behind the old man, but did not dare to cross the line.
"Father!
Why don't you go back? "
"Go back?"
The old man turned around and looked at his son, who was jogging to catch up with him. The latter was a baron of Sith's Court. He was dressed extravagantly, but his face looked very pale in the face of the catastrophe. His eyes glanced at the city wall from time to time. He came over and grabbed his father's arm. Just as he was about to go back, his father, who looked much thinner, pulled him to the ground!
"Go back?!
Condos!
You still have the cheek to say such words?! "
He pointed at his son and scolded, "Countless soldiers are fighting for this city with their lives on the city wall, and you!
A noble!
The eldest son of a family with a long history in the Empire of Saint Reims!
How dare you drag his father away to escape from the war at this time?! "
"Father!
You're old and senile! "
His son climbed up from the ground and hugged his father's waist with both hands without caring about his image. He tried to drag his father away, but the next moment, his father elbowed him in the neck, and he fainted!
The servants were stunned. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Many nobles in the distance looked at the old man in a daze. They sighed in exasperation, waved their hands, and asked the servants to carry his son away. Then, they strode towards the guards. "Open the gate!"
