Dark Light: Magic Betrayed

Early the next morning, the caravan headed for Hamales, escorted by a group of cavalry.

Pesmona and Lord Ajies sat on the horse and looked at the scenery in the desert quietly. At this time, she looked at Lord Ajies and asked: "Father, what exactly did you encounter last night?" Ajie

Lord Si thought for a moment, then waved his hand. Then the curtains of the carriage were closed, and he was heard whispering: "Those should be the undead guards."

When she heard this, she asked in confusion: "Undead? Are they those ghosts?"

Lord Ajes shook his head and replied: "No, they are different from ghosts. These undead souls are very resentful and eager to return to the world. Under the influence of certain magic, they will live in a terrifying form.

come over."

Pesmona quickly asked: "What magic?" Lord Ajes fell into silence, and after a while he slowly said: "The magic in the Code of Death."

At this point, Lord Ajes suddenly stretched out his hands and said seriously: "Daughter, take my hand." Pesmona couldn't help being stunned when she saw this. Although she was a little confused, she still obediently grabbed his hand.

hand.

At the moment of a gentle squeeze, many magical memories suddenly poured into Pesmona's mind. She looked at Lord Ajes in great surprise and asked: "Father, what are you doing?"

He smiled and replied: "Daughter, I will teach you some advanced magic, maybe you will use it in the days to come."

Pesmona nodded in confusion.

The carriage drove slowly in the desert for two days, and it was expected that it would take three days to reach Hamales, but at the same time Melia was in crisis.

"Defend! Defend! Don't let them attack!" I saw the captain of the city defender standing on the city wall and loudly commanding the surrounding soldiers.

At this time, a mummy actually jumped onto the city wall. A soldier collapsed to the ground in fear when he saw this. The captain of the city guard did not hesitate to swing his long knife and cut the mummy into two pieces. The surrounding soldiers immediately stepped forward to kill him with a knife.

The mummy was chopped into pieces.

The captain pulled up the man who fell to the ground and yelled: "What are you thinking! Get back to your post quickly! Escape will lead to death!!" After saying that, he looked at the surrounding defensive soldiers and ordered loudly: "Consolidate the defense! Hold on.

! Reinforcements will be coming soon! You must not take a step back!!"

As he spoke, he came to the city wall and looked down.

I saw mummies with weapons in their hands all under the city wall. They howled and tried to climb up the wall. The soldiers on the wall kept using fire spells to ignite the mummies.

At this time, a soldier wearing a feather on his head ran over and said loudly: "Captain Aria! The people in the city formed a city defense team and hope to participate in the defense of the city!"

Captain Aria then looked behind him and saw a group of dwarves and many young people holding hammers, long forks and wands, looking at him firmly, hoping to get his permission. Suddenly a dwarf shouted loudly

Shout: "Sir! Melia is my home! I want to protect my home and my family!"

When the people around heard this, they shouted loudly: "Yes! We must also defend our home!"

"Yes! We want it too!"

"Please! Sir!"

"We dwarves fight every day just for this day!"

Captain Aria shouted with a serious expression: "All dwarves go together to strengthen the city gate! Others! Take up weapons! Defend the city wall!"

"Okay!" Everyone was encouraged upon hearing this, and immediately went to their respective defense positions.

At this time, Captain Aria pulled the soldier and asked: "Where are the women and children in the city?" The soldier replied: "They have all gone to the inn to escape. I hope we can hold on until reinforcements arrive."

Captain Aria looked up at the sky and saw a huge barrier covering the entire city. They couldn't even send any message out, and even people couldn't rush out. As long as they touched these barriers, they would be reduced to ashes.

Although he knew this, he did not dare to tell the soldiers around him. If the morale of the soldiers collapsed, it would be out of control, so he tried hard to keep it a secret and hoped to wait until reinforcements arrived.

Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head, looked at the surrounding soldiers and shouted loudly: "Medical team! Rescue the wounded!" At this time, several more mummies rushed up the city wall, and the surrounding soldiers saw this and rushed forward to fight.

But when the crowd saw the mummies holding long swords, they couldn't help but froze on the spot. Captain Aria rushed over, grabbed his neck and shouted: "You are stupid! You want to die, don't you? Protect me from the cowards."

No family!”

Upon hearing this, the crowd rushed forward with the weapons in their hands.

This miscellaneous group of people are not warriors at all, they are just bank clerks, restaurant chefs, corporate employees... They wield their swords without any rules, and fighting is like a group fight.

But this group of people actually killed one mummy after another. Captain Aria kept walking back and forth on the city wall: "If you have a wand, use the ignition spell or the fireball spell! These are more effective! If the enemy comes up, be sure to

Several people work together to cut off the limbs of these demons, so that they can be destroyed!"

At this time, he wanted to look far away, hoping to see reinforcements, but what he saw was a magician. He saw this magician with snow-white skin and a tattered magic robe all over his body. There was no hair on his head and a pair of

His golden eyes were tattooed with black curses all over his body, and around him were countless mummies pouring in like a tide.

Captain Aria looked at the scene in front of him and whispered in shock: "Damn it, it's not over yet."

At this time, Captain Aria came to the top of the city gate and looked at the mummies below who kept hitting the city wall with boulders. He waved his long sword and ordered loudly: "Use the fire spell! Light the area outside the city gate! Don't let them get close to the city gate.

!”

Having said this, he turned around and looked into the city, and suddenly saw a group of seventy or eighty dwarves holding spears and wearing armor from the last century rushing over, and then lined up and stood not far from the city gate.

Upon seeing this, Captain Aria shouted loudly: "Where did you dwarves get the armor??" At this time, a female dwarf with a twist beard and an animal horn crown stood up and shouted: "It is passed down from our ancestors!

"

Upon hearing this, Captain Aria laughed and said, "You dwarves are really good at hiding things." The female dwarf then burst into laughter.

Suddenly a soldier pointed in one direction and shouted: "Captain! What is that?" Captain Aria looked in the direction of his finger, and it turned out to be a war beast!

I saw that the war beast was rotting all over, with a huge iron block on its head, and then rushed towards the city gate. As it ran quickly, it aimed the iron block at the city gate and blocked it in front of it.

All the mummies were trampled into powder.

Captain Aria looked at the people who were fortifying the city gate, and quickly shouted an order: "Everyone leave the city gate! Quick! Everyone leave!"

Seeing this, everyone in front of the city gate quickly ran away, and then they heard a loud "bang".

The giant beast slammed into the city gate, and then the city gate was smashed in half, and the giant beast's head turned into powder and then turned into black sand.

At this time, a soldier said to Captain Aria: "Captain! Let's go to the inn to defend ourselves. If they come from the city gate, we will be attacked from both sides!"

Captain Aria shouted without hesitation: "Set the city wall on fire! Evacuate! Evacuate!" Upon hearing this, the surrounding soldiers waved their spears, and streams of flames spurted out and instantly ignited the city wall.

When Captain Aria led the team down the city wall, the dwarves did not leave, but lined up towards the gate with their spears to meet the enemy.

When he saw this, he quickly shouted: "What are you doing!" The female dwarf wearing armor laughed and said: "Someone must stay to delay the enemy! We dwarves never turn our backs to the enemy!"

At this point, she shouted with a serious expression: "Escape quickly! The city gate will be breached soon!" Captain Aria saluted him, then turned around and led the team to the inn.

At this time, the city gate was swaying and about to fall. The female dwarf looked back and saw that they had left. She smiled and looked forward without any fear in her eyes.

Suddenly there was a "boom" and the city gate collapsed. Countless mummies swarmed in waving long swords.

When the female dwarf saw this, she shouted loudly: "The blue dragon goes out to sea!"

The dwarves' formation immediately rushed towards the group of mummies, overturning a group of mummies in an instant. When the spears were broken, they used short knives and shields to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the swarming mummies.

At this time, the flames on the city wall were gradually extinguished, and countless mummies swarmed up the city wall, and then poured down like a waterfall.

Then the mummies overwhelmed the group of dwarf soldiers.

The sacrifice of the dwarves was worth it. Captain Aria led the rest of the people to the inn.

He immediately gave the order: "Close the door and build defenses!"

Then he came to the city wall of the inn, looked around, and saw countless mummies moving towards this place like a tide.

He immediately looked at the soldiers and ordered loudly: "Let the women and children go to the fourth floor, and the others go to the city wall!"

Captain Aria looked at the rushing mummies with no fear in his eyes. He shouted an oath:

This is my land, and I am with my ancestors; I will protect it forever, until death, and I will never back down without fear of death!

Immediately afterwards, all the people holding weapons shouted the oath together.

At this time, Captain Aria lowered his head to look at the little rabbit bracelet on his wrist, his eyes filled with tears, and whispered: "I'm sorry, daughter, I can't spend the New Year with you."

At this time, the mummy had climbed up, and then he shouted angrily: "Go to hell! Devil!" Then he cut off the mummy's head with a knife!

At this time, in the hall on the fourth floor, women were huddled in the corner with their children in their arms, their eyes full of fear and worry.

The shouts of death outside the hall resounded through the sky, but soon the shouts of death gradually stopped, followed by the terrifying roars of countless mummies.

At this time, these women stopped crying. They took out the knives from their waists and the hairpins on their heads. The women picked up everything around them that could be used as weapons. They stood at the front and blocked the children behind them.

, looking fearlessly at the door of the hall.

At this time, a little boy cried and said: "Mom! I'm afraid! I'm afraid!" And his mother turned around and said with a smile: "Son, don't be afraid, mom will protect you."
