The Rise of the Cemetery

City of Bern.

The small town under the night has become a purgatory on earth.

Nearly half of the city's buildings have been reduced to flames, and countless residents are crying and weeping in a daze, looking for their lost relatives everywhere, and even more of them are trying to escape this place cursed by God with their families.

The city lord's mansion was a fire that ignited soaring into the sky when the sky was about to fall. The fire spread so fast that the entire mansion was ignited in almost half an hour. The city guards who rushed over after hearing the news were horrified to find that no one escaped from the huge city lord's mansion, and no one from the manor was fighting the fire.

The entire City Lord's Mansion was silently burning in the sea of ​​flames.

The first few patrol members who rushed to the mansion to check were already terrified, murmuring crazy words like "all dead", "undead" and "death".

The city guard captain Grand who hurried over grabbed their shoulders angrily and shook them, but he couldn't make them spit out any more details.

Just when Grand was about to organize a group of warriors to rush into the sea of ​​flames to find out, the crowd around him suddenly let out a heart-piercing howl.

"Monster... monster..."

"Undead... The terrible undead is coming..."

As the scorching flames continued to roll, the light in the arena dimmed, and a tall figure stepped out from the sea of ​​flames soaring into the sky in the City Lord's Mansion.

An indomitable fire skull.

There is not a trace of flesh and blood on the dark red tough bones, and hideous and terrifying bone spurs are all over the body. He is more than 4 meters tall, holding a white bone long sword, and his body is surrounded by turbulent transpiration flames. The scarlet soul fire in the hollow eye sockets is as bright as stars, and anyone who looks at it will feel pain in the eyes.

With creaking and stiff steps, this terrifying fire skeleton walked out of the sea of ​​flames step by step. Wherever he passed, there were scorched foot bone traces on the hard stone ground, and there were still small flames flickering on it.

The huge size and the fierce appearance made the city guards and residents of Bern City frightened half to death. As the fire skull approached step by step, they couldn't help but retreat step by step.

"Undead, did you kill our city lord?" Grand held the long sword tightly in his hand, and bravely shouted at the fire skull.

The Fire Skull stopped in its tracks, and the skull hidden in the flames faced the fierce city guard captain, and opened and closed its mouth slightly, as if it was sneering sinisterly.

A chill rose in the hearts of all the humans present.

At some point, the moonlight projected from the sky has turned blood-colored, and the cool night wind has also become chilly.

Fire Skull wielded the big sword and turned around lightly, and three or four wretched wretches fell down on the spot. The evil fire above the great sword turned them into human torches, burning everything that could be burned. They fell to the ground and rolled, but they couldn't extinguish the flames on their bodies, and could only die in despair.

Fire Skull rushed into the crowd, frantically chasing and killing the frightened humans. Under its white bone sword burning with pale flames, even the steel armor of the city guards could not withstand the powerful swing of this terrifying monster.

Soldiers rushed up one by one, but fell down wailing.

The corpses that had been split in half were still burning, and the gushing blood could not extinguish the flames of death from the depths of hell.

Ge Lang gritted his teeth, and the long sword in his hand was already full of water, but he could only be forced to stagger back by the scorching white bone sword of the fire skull.

useless.

The weapons in their hands can't play much role against this extremely evil undead creature. Within 10 meters of the skeleton monster burning with raging flames, there is already a high-temperature zone that no one should approach. As long as human fighters get close to it, the hair and clothes on their bodies will curl and ignite spontaneously, and the shields and swords in their hands will also change. It's hot.

As the captain of the city guard, Ge Lang also has the ability of a level 7 fighter profession. He raised his head to the sky and let out an "invigorating roar", and then launched a fierce thrust with full of anger. Like lightning in the dark, the long sword with a savage yellow fighting spirit successfully slashed at the ribs of the skeleton.

If it was an ordinary skeleton, probably this sword would be enough to crush it to pieces. However, at the moment of chopping, Grand clearly heard the crisp sound of gold and iron, as well as the fireworks shining like stars.

The Fire Skull opened its mouth wide and let out a silent roar, and swung the flaming sword at Grand with the sound of cold wind.

With no time to retreat or block, Grand twisted his body and used the shield with his left hand to protect his body.

When there is a muffled sound.

Grand, who was wearing a shield, was split into a rolling gourd by the fire skull with a sword, and rolled and slid all the way to the corner of the street.

Despite the pain in his left arm, Grand struggled to lift the shield. Upon closer inspection, his heart immediately became cold.

A deep sword mark on the surface of the steel shield almost split the entire shield in the center, and the dots of flames were still burning in the dent. When Grand dazedly reached out to snuff it out, the little flame licked his fingers, which made him feel the severe pain from the depths of his soul.

Even Ge Lang, a level 7 fighter, couldn't walk in front of Huoskull, and the remaining city guard soldiers were no match for him. The Fire Skull crazily chased all moving life, flesh and blood flew all over the sky, and the scorching heat waves and tumbling flames occupied all the vision of the remaining humans.

At some point, more than a dozen fires rose in the distance, turning half of the night sky red.

The whole city was plunged into great turmoil and panic.

The terrible rumors in the past finally became reality before our eyes, and the desperate cries of "the undead are coming" and "the necromancer wants to kill all life" resounded through the sky.

Grand, too, had long heard the terrible tales. But as an ordinary city guard captain, his insignificant status did not allow him to have any superfluous thoughts. It's just that he never imagined that the small town he lived in was chosen as the target of attack by the necromancer, which made him suffer a lot.

Just in a daze, the more than forty city guard soldiers he brought had either fled or were slaughtered by the fire skeletons. Stepping on the flesh and blood stumps all over the ground, Huokuku turned around, stared at Ge Lang who was struggling to get up at the corner of the street, and slowly approached with a smirk.

Bloody night, flames, skeletons, death...

The scene in front of him shocked Grand's soul with a strong visual impact, making him gnash his teeth but his hands and feet trembled, and he couldn't even pick up the distorted long sword that was close at hand.

The Fire Skull is approaching step by step...

Even at this moment, Grand was able to feel the heat wave licking his face lingering around the flames exactly. He closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and silently waited for the flaming long sword to fall.

At this moment, there was a seemingly invisible sound of horseshoes.

Hooves?

There is no cavalry in Berne? Grand thought quietly.

Hey, haven't the Dark Knight gang been sent to the south? Could it be human cavalry? Fire Skull thought so.

Just when one person and one skeleton were stunned, the sea of ​​flames in the distance suddenly divided into one piece, and a tall, mighty and ferocious horse appeared in front of them stepping on the flames.

No, this is not a war horse, but a terrible nightmare beast from the bottomless abyss. And judging by its majestic and domineering aura, it is very likely that it is still the king of the nightmare beasts.

And the knight sitting on the nightmare beast is even more powerful.

The strong body was solid and thick, and under the pale and strong flesh and blood, the cold and stern aura that belonged to the death knight slowly emerged. With a sound of exquisite and gorgeous knight armor, long snow-white hair draped over his shoulders, Alsace, who had a calm but slightly sad demeanor, was still so proud and cold.

After all, Fire Skull is just a 14th-level undead lord. He suddenly saw a holy undead knight appearing in front of him, and the suppression of the rank made him feel a little embarrassed.

However, with the collision of the mental powers of the two sides, the body of Huokulou shook violently.

This death knight is not one of his own.

For undead creatures, the easiest way to identify friend and foe is the unique soul fluctuation in the soul fire. Even in the Undead Union Council where there are many necromancers, which necromancer belongs to which undead servant, you only need to sense the fluctuation of the soul of the other party to clearly distinguish it.

But in the depths of the soul of the death knight in front of him, he couldn't feel the existence of any necromancer's brand.

"Are you from the Great Cemetery?" Fire Skull roared angrily.

"snort!"

Alsace snorted coldly, not bothering to answer a small bastard's question, the nightmare orc under his crotch stood up, and rushed towards the fire skull with rumbling and thunderous steps.

The little lord of the Fire Skull, who was killing all directions just now, waved the flaming long sword and planned to stand up to the death knight's slashing. Although the level gap between the two sides is not small, if you simply compete in brute force, it may not be much weaker than the other side.

But just as it was swinging its sword, a strong wind rose behind it, and a nimble and vigorous figure jumped down from the wall behind it and firmly bit its bone hand wielding the big sword.

Just now, the tough bones that could hardly be damaged even by level 7 fighters were cut by the opponent's sharp canine teeth, making a clear and crisp sound of breaking and breaking.

Huokuku was terrified, and the soul fire jumped several times in succession, only then did he realize that it was an elite ghoul king who was biting him.

Just as the Fire Skull was waving its arms to shake off the Ghoul King's bite, Alsace, who started to charge, had already rushed to its side like a thunderbolt. The halo of evil, the savage blow and the grudge of death all made the Frostmourne (imitation) held high by Arthas overflow with indescribable power.

People walk with horses, swords fall with people.

Alsace rushed past and disappeared into the darkness on the other side of the street with the sound of rumbling hooves.

After a long time, the head of the Fire Skull, which was rolling in the air, fell heavily in front of Grand.
