Chapter 1069: Combined attack (1)
Flame breaths suddenly came down from the sky and created a barrier in front of the wall. With the flames forming this barrier, the arrows weren’t able to reach the soldiers on the walls. They were turned to ashes before they could reach the soldiers that were on the wall.
When the soldiers on the wall saw this, they let out sighs of relief, but they didn’t dare let their guards down.
After all, they knew that it wouldn’t end just like this.
There was no doubt that there would be even more attacks aimed at them later on.
So they immediately pulled out their bows and prepared to shoot back at the enemies.
At the same time, there were several shields that were pulled out.
Though they didn’t know how effective these shields would be, it at least gave them a sense of security to have them rather than not having them.
At least they could possibly block the arrows with these shields.
What had sent those flames down were half of the wyverns that had been sent back by Klein. He didn’t hesitate at all to split their group in half to ensure that the soldiers on the walls were safe.
But that was what the Death Knight wanted him to do.
The moment that half of the wyverns left, the undead immediately changed their target.
The undead with the bows suddenly raised those bows up to target the wyverns that were still flying above the undead horde.
It seemed that the Death Knight knew that it would be hard to face the wyverns as a whole, which was why it had used that distraction to send half the wyverns back to the wall.
Though it was also clear that the Death Knight really hadn’t expected this much of a reaction.
With half of the wyverns gone, it was harder for the wyverns that were left flying over the horde to stop these attacks from the undead.
Klein gave the order to fire the flame breaths down to intercept the attacks.
This was a two pronged attack where the flames burned the arrows flying up and landed on the undead down below, but this was not something that could be sustained for long.
The flame breaths required energy to keep firing and it was not something that could be continuously fired down at the undead down below.
The wyverns were living creatures and would eventually run out of energy.
So it was only a matter of time before they ran out of a way to defend against the arrows that the undead shot up at them. It was only a matter of time before the arrows of the undead would reach them.
The other wyverns at the wall wanted to go back to support Klein’s group, but they found that they weren’t able to do so. The moment that they moved, some of the undead turned the bows back at the wall.
It seemed that they were threatening the soldiers that were there to keep the wyverns at the wall.
It seemed that the moment that the wyverns tried to leave the wall, the undead would attack the soldiers and force them back.
The Death Knight really was quite the strategist, hitting them right where it hurt.
So there was nothing that they could do as they watched Klein’s group defend against the undead arrows.
Klein realized that there was nothing that they could do from their position and it was best if they retreated. But if they were to retreat now, all that would happen is that the undead would surge at the walls.
If they gave up their position now, they wouldn’t be able to reclaim it and would be run down by the undead.
It was all about what he was willing to give up at this point…
Seeing that he was hesitating, I said, “There’s no point in risking our lives. If we’re still alive, at least we can think of a plan to deal with them. If we die, it’s all over.”
Klein still had an unwilling look on his face, but he eventually nodded in agreement.
As a commander, it was hard for him to accept that he had been forced back by the Death Knight. But as a commander, he also knew when he had been beaten.
So there was no choice but to give the order.
“Fall…”
It was just that before he could give the order, there was a loud sound that came from the wall.
When we turned to look at the wall, we found the source of the noise.
It was someone who had jumped out from behind the wall that made this noise.
However, not just anyone would have been able to make this loud noise simply by jumping out from behind the wall.
It was only someone that had a very large size that would be able to do this.
There was only one person that could do this.
The one that had done this was Alidus.
After jumping out from behind the wall, Alidus raised his club and gave a roar before charging forward.
He was so big that the undead under him weren’t able to do a thing as they were crushed under his feet. At the same time, it seemed like there was some kind of barrier that appeared around him as he charged forward that stopped the weapons of the undead.
It was as if he was being protected by some kind of invisible force.
Seeing him charge out like this, all of us had ugly looks on our faces.
Klein looked at me as if he was asking me what we should do, but I didn’t hesitate at all as I said, “Support him.”
While I didn’t know what he was planning, I knew that Alidus wouldn’t just run out without a plan. I didn’t think that he was a fool like that based on what I’ve seen from him.
So he must have a reason for charging out like this.
The only thing that we can do is support him for now.
