Chapter 187 Encirclement and Counter-Encirclement

As night fell, Catherine's uneasiness became more and more obvious. Her four lotus-like white arms couldn't help but reach for the long sword at her waist.

At the same time, Bobby, who is always talkative, also feels the depression weighing on his head.

However, she is different from Catherine, her combat experience is far beyond that of Catherine who has been imprisoned in a cage for fifty years;

After traveling around with Steve and fighting against orcs with Master Formont in Thorium Hall, Poppy has long been an experienced and skilled warrior.

Sitting on the ground in a silly manner, Bobby, who had just put on her armor, was wiping her weapon with a sackcloth. She looked like a quiet woman from a water village embroidering without saying a word.

Outside, many guys with extraordinary perception also sensed the impending danger. The whole camp was in an uproar, and the soldiers, under the arrangement of their respective captains, were preparing for a full-scale war.

It’s not that no one on the human side had thought about launching a surprise attack, but they were completely slowed down by the horde of undead pouring out of the royal city.

Long before Catherine sensed the danger, the gates of the royal city had already been opened, and a large number of undead soldiers poured out like a tide;

At first, this phenomenon did not alarm Archduke Rendell;

After all, the city gate is so small that even if the undead have great abilities, it is impossible for them to squeeze out all at once. This situation also means that human troops can calmly block outside the city gate, deploy formations, and use their advantages in numbers and formations to bully the undead troops.

Unfortunately, the commander of the human army’s happiness did not last long as it was interrupted by the sudden bad news.

According to the scouts' reports, a dense and endless army of undead was approaching the outskirts of the royal city, as if all the undead in the entire Ironthorn Kingdom had gathered together.

They fell into the trap!

The only solution now is to hold off the undead pouring out of the city, gather the troops together, and launch a surprise attack outwards.

Of course, this is the idea of ​​the leader of the Earth Dragon Legion.

The heavily armored and powerful ground dragon army might be able to break out of the undead encirclement, but the soldiers of Grand Duke Rundel do not have this ability.

Because Waterdeep is close to the sea, there are many soldiers who are proficient in boarding and naval warfare, but there are not many cavalry.

With just their two legs, they couldn't outrun the tireless army of the undead.

Therefore, Grand Duke Rundel's idea was very simple. He rushed into the royal city, rescued the queen, and finally asked the military wizard to use teleportation to send him and the queen back.

As for the soldiers and adventurers accompanying the army... in his eyes, they are all expendable.

The disagreement between the two armies delayed precious time for retreat, resulting in the Waterdeep Expeditionary Force and the Earth Dragon Legion being trapped outside the city as it was about to get dark.

Soon, when the last rays of the sun left this sinful land, an army of undead like a tsunami appeared at the end of the horizon.

Accompanied by the chilling and biting will-o'-the-wisp fire, the dense army of undead silently approached the city.

Outside the camp, the players who were already prepared looked at the overwhelming army of undead in the distance;

Excited, calm, irritable, excited, but not afraid;

If you die, the worst that can happen is that you will be banned on the forum for three days, which is not a big deal. But if you miss this kind of big occasion, you will really miss it.

They would rather pat their chests and say, "I have waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood!" than watch others brag.

Just when everyone was on high alert, Steve took Bobby and Catherine out of the camp under the cover of night.

Players can't die too much, otherwise the blind box won't sell...

Moreover, the Duchess's maid has not brought any news about the capture of Waterdeep, so Grand Duke Rundel cannot die for the time being!

So, it's time to stretch your legs.

Carrying the iconic spear [Alex], Steve took the lead, with the huge Poppy and Catherine who had returned to her original appearance, and just walked past the player's troops and faced the undead army.

In the crowd, Cang Ming stared at the lance on Steve's shoulder, and his pupils suddenly dilated a little.

"Red Name! Ma Lance! Damn it! I should have guessed that the secret treasure merchant Steve was the mysterious NPC in Waterdeep!"

At the same time, the noisy players were also shocked by the scene before them.

"Damn it, this guy just passed away like that! Isn't he afraid of death?"

"Don't be afraid of death, do you know who he is?"

"Who?"

"do not know."

"Despise you!"

At the same time, Xie Shuyou gently nudged Cangming beside him, pointed in Steve's direction and asked in a low voice:

"Is that the guy?"

"Yes!" Cang Ming, who knew what the trashy book friend was asking, nodded heavily.

Hearing this, the book friend's eyes moved, and he leaned close to Cangming's ear and whispered:

"Or we can just follow him. I suspect this guy is the key NPC in this battle!

Look at the ogre behind him. Even though his braids are a little tangled, the sound of his equipment is simply terrifying!

And the one with the long tail..."

As he spoke, the book friend's voice became smaller and smaller, but his pupils became larger and larger.

"Shit! That's a four-armed snake demon! Didn't they say there are no demons in the prime material plane?!"

After realizing it belatedly, Cang Ming hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and warned him in a low voice:

"Shh! Keep your voice down. Don't rely on your [Dark Vision] expertise to offend Steve. Do you still want to buy the blind box?"

On the side, the book friend pushed Cangming's hand away and covered his mouth with his own hand.

"Your hands are smelly, I can just cover them myself!"

Hearing this, Cang Ming rolled his eyes, and then muttered to his fellow readers:

"Follow me, I feel safer following this guy!"

After a few brief internal exchanges, the middle-aged and elderly rehabilitation team broke away from the main group of players and strode to catch up with Steve who was getting farther and farther away. At the same time, the Wuliang Tianzun Adventure Team where Dag and Dao Zangyun were located also broke away from the main group and caught up with them in tacit understanding.

Seeing that these two powerful adventure groups were chasing after the NPCs, the players could no longer stay still. Many teams dropped their tasks and chased after them.

People tend to follow the crowd, especially when there are fewer and fewer companions around.

Soon, the Northern players roared to defend the mission and tacitly caught up with Steve.

At the front, smelling the unique rotten stench of zombies, Steve's adrenaline surged, and the long-lost blood rushed to every part of his body along with the madly pumping heart.

"Girls! Let's go!"

With a low shout, in front of the stunned eyes of many players behind, Poppy roared, and was the first to pull out the [Cruel Smile] that was like a cannon at her waist, raised it with one hand, and aimed it in the direction of the Undead army.

"boom!"

A loud noise resounded through the heavens and earth, [Cruel Smile] roared like a dragon spewing flames;

Suddenly, a clearing about 20 feet long (about 10 meters) and 3.3 feet wide (about meters) appeared in the army of undead directly in front of Poppy;

In the open space, burning white eyes rose up, and the remains of zombies and skeletons exploded and flew all over the sky.

Looking at this horrifying scene, Xue Hua De Yu, who was at the forefront, took a deep breath and couldn't help muttering:

"Damn, the city defense artillery is only this good!

I, Yin Dahe, really envy you and want it!"

"roll!"
