Doomsday Code

Chapter 37 Siege

Inside the military tent of the garrison camp outside the Nanmu Forest, Como was carefully wiping his sword with a piece of fine silk cloth.

After he wiped it, he could faintly see magical patterns engraved with mithril on the sword. It was obvious that this was a magic weapon.

Because of the appearance of the Earth Bear in the practical class these days, their entire legion has been busy for half a month. He leads the team into the forest to hunt monsters at dawn these days.

However, although it was tiring, the monster skins, bones, and meat they harvested made their group a lot of money.

After wiping and maintaining the sword, Como stood up and prepared to go out to patrol the camp.

However, just as he stood up, this peak silver warrior felt a dangerous aura.

As a general on the battlefield, he trusted his intuition very much and knew that a crisis was approaching.

Then he drew out the long sword that he had just put back into the scabbard, walked to the door of the tent, lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out.

At this time, bonfires could be seen crackling in the camp, and soldiers on duty gathered around the bonfires to drive away the chill of the late autumn evening.

When the soldiers outside saw Como coming out with a sword, they all stood up.

At this time, Como could see the forest outside the camp in front of his tent. It was still dark and dangerous as usual.

He released his fighting spirit, but the trees outside the camp just shook a few times, and then he heard a few cries of wild beasts running away.

Como took back the sword, then smiled and said:

"Everyone, sit down. When it's your turn to patrol later, you must be alert. You have worked very hard in the past few days to clear out the ferocious beasts in the mountains. After this, I will definitely ask the Earl for credit for you.

And if we sell these hunted monsters, you guys will be able to have a good year this year."

Como's words made the soldiers cheer, and they became more energetic.

However, at this moment something unexpected happened. The sound of arrows breaking through the air came from outside the camp.

Those who have experienced real battlefields know that this is a large number of archers shooting arrows at a target together.

Como also reacted quickly. He immediately drew out the long sword from his waist, injected his own fighting spirit into it, and then continued to wave the long sword to block the falling arrows.

The arrows came and went quickly, and soon the first wave of arrow rain was over. At this time, Como looked at the camp and saw wailing everywhere, dead bodies and blood everywhere.

Judging from the number of falling arrows, he guessed based on his experience that the number of enemies on the opposite side was definitely no less than ten thousand.

Those soldiers who survived the first wave of arrows all ran out of their tents, and at this time Como gave the best order he could.

He didn't expect that there would be an error in the release of his fighting spirit. The enemy in the dark was really cunning and was not affected by his fighting spirit.

"All soldiers took up their shields and sought shelter from the rain of arrows. The surviving captains organized their men to put out the bonfires around them."

Because Como knew that the enemy would not just shoot one round of arrows, and now it was night, and they were in the light while the enemy was in the dark.

This is a living target for the enemy, so the light source must be extinguished so that the enemy cannot find your trace.

And what happened on the other side was just as he had guessed, with another wave of arrows whizzing through the air.

But this time, thanks to Como's order, not many people died in this rain of arrows.

After the rain of arrows, Como immediately gathered the surviving soldiers in the camp, because he knew that the opponent would send troops to attack next.

It was at this time that Como called his adjutant.

"Wildar, I estimate that the enemy on the other side is at least 10,000 people. The soldiers in the barracks now cannot resist them. I need you to bring the news here back to the city and let the Earl and his men prepare for the battle."

"General, you can't do this. There are so many enemies. You will need to command the battle to defend the city. So let me stay here. General, you can take your men back to the city to report the news."

Wilda said in a firm tone.

However, Como smiled sadly and said:

"Wildard, I am a knight and a general. As a knight, I have to move forward bravely when I encounter the enemy, but as a general, I need to be with my soldiers.

For the sake of my knight's honor and the people in the Wisdom Shield Territory, please return immediately, otherwise it will be too late when the enemies outside surround you."

At this moment, Wilda was extremely conflicted, as he knew his general's temper very well.

Although he was usually a bit cruel and rude to others, he was still a proud knight at heart, so he knew that his general would never leave here even if he died.

Finally, with tears in his eyes, he led a small group of troops to break out from behind the camp.

Just as he and his men left not far away, he and those who escaped saw a strange sight, which could be considered a strange sight.

An undead knight led tens of thousands of undead skeletons and rushed towards the camp, followed by the sound of fierce fighting.

Amid the sound of fighting, Will could hear his general urging him to hurry up.

At this time, Wilda realized the urgency of the situation. He wiped away his tears and rode his men towards Huidun City.

..........................................

In Huidun Academy, when Tophis found Huidun and reported the possible appearance of an alchemist, Huidun, who had been quietly listening to the report, spoke sternly:

"What did you say? An alchemist came to our place?"

"This, this is not confirmed yet, but a dead man who came to the city gate said so, and the situation is urgent now, so I..."

Tophis was also frightened by Huidun and became timid.

Huidun also knew that this matter was of great importance, so he had to report to him even if it was just hearsay.

Huidun's exclamation outside also disturbed Chen Cheng and Peng Beis who were discussing inside.

"What happened to Wisdom Shield?"

Penbes asked with a frown.

Huidun outside also felt like a huge rock was pressing on his chest. He waved to Tophis and asked him to go back first, and he also wanted to tell Professor Penbes about this in advance.

Because if an alchemist really comes, then a strong man like Professor Penbes must be involved to deal with him. This shows the importance of these lawless guys.

At the same time, these alchemists have strange methods, and only strong people like Penbes who have their own domain can directly find the flaws and kill them with one blow.

Huidun pushed the door open, and then Chen Cheng and the others saw that Huidun, who had been fine just now, now had a look of worry on his face.

"Professor and Brown, Archon Tophis just said that there is a suspected alchemist coming to our place."

Peng Beis and Chen Cheng were also shocked when they heard this. It can be said that the group of alchemists is a group that everyone in the whole continent hates.

Once discovered, it must be eliminated with all efforts.

Especially now, all that is evil, horrible, and depraved has become a powerful representative label for this group.

It can be said that in the stories of wandering poets, big and small, these guys account for more than 80% of the final villains.

It can be said that as long as an alchemist appears in a place, that place will never have a peaceful life in the future. Some alchemists will even cause irreparable disasters to a place in order to experiment with their magic.

Before, when Chen Cheng heard about this group, he thought that these people were a group of researchers like him, and he wanted to find such people to help.

But after reading about these people's deeds, these guys became a group of scientific lunatics in his eyes. They broke the moral bottom line and killed thousands of ordinary people for the sake of research.

At that time, these people became the most dangerous elements in Chen Cheng's eyes.

Because he knew that some research really broke the bottom line, and some terrifying demons would really come to the world.

After listening to this, Peng Beisi frowned, then immediately stood up and said:

"This matter is of great importance, I have to discuss it with that fellow Adolf.

You and Brown, go check out the body first, maybe you can find something from it."

After saying that, Penbes stretched out his hand and his magic wand flew into his hand. Then he lightly tapped the ground with the magic wand and disappeared in front of Huidun and the other man.

At this moment, Chen Cheng was feeling nervous and fearful, but also a little excited. This was the first time that he could truly see the legendary evil magician - the alchemist.

Perhaps after killing these scientific lunatics, the sinful research notes they left behind could serve as a reference.

The two of them also put away the research materials on the ground, and then went out towards the city gate.

At this time, in the rectory of the church in the city, Father Hodos, who had just been appointed as a priest by Bishop Jamil, received a request for an autopsy from the government.

If it were in the past, he would at most ask a monk to help with such matters.

However, when he took office, the monks around Bishop Jamil said that if the government came to seek help, they hoped he would be able to come forward.

So he didn't put on any airs and agreed to the request directly.
