Chapter 301: The Capital of Luodunk
In the early morning, torches were lit in the camp, and in the dim light, they began to march towards the royal capital.
The noble coalition forces have exhausted all these strategic materials after the Black Tide struck. The total number of divine torches brought by Wallace and others was more than 10,000, so the knights lit all ordinary torches. Although they cannot dispel the fog, they can allow the team behind to see the formation changes far ahead.
Before daybreak, the collapsed city wall on the west side of the royal capital finally appeared in everyone's eyes.
Today's Royal Capital of Rodunk is dilapidated and withered. Near the city wall, you can also see many huge wooden structures. They stand erected in the mist, looking hazy like the wooden skeletons of tall buildings.
As the team slowly moved forward and passed this weird building, the knights discovered that the beams of the tall wooden bodies were covered with dead people.
The cold wind blew, and the dead began to sway like wind chimes, and many rats and cockroaches fell to the ground.
These deceased should have been dead for more than a few years. Dry flesh and blood have no value. Demons would never waste corpses like this, so these masterpieces are the work of humans.
George closed his eyes, he knew these things. Roosegaarde mentioned it to him.
When the plague first spread to the royal capital, there was an extremely dark history.
At that time, a large number of refugees gathered near the royal capital and built shacks under the city walls. They tried their best to enter the city, but the plague that gradually spread in the royal capital made people in the city panic.
These refugees were eventually hanged here. This strategy of the nobles also prevented refugees from gathering here.
Ironically, the plague eventually broke out in the city.
The deserted manors are uncultivated, and the open wine cellars are untouched. Hungry rats roamed the putrid streets, feasting on the undisposed corpses. Wild dogs pulled out buried bodies in the middle of the night and tore them into pieces.
All over the capital, people are superstitious about those ridiculous treatment plans. The conservative priests perform exorcisms on patients, imprison them in mercury, and even burn the sores with hot irons, believing that this can drive away evil spirits in conjunction with hymns. The bachelors induced vomiting, bled, defecated, and even used dried toads to place on the black spots, but all they did could only make the patients experience more painful torture before death.
Maybe the devil has already taken control of this city before the black tide really comes.
In this heavy fog, they used some tricks to isolate this place from the outside world. In this closed royal capital, they played with these humans wantonly and watched them bury themselves with their own hands.
When the whole city fell into despair and panic, the belief in doomsday quietly grew from the darkness, turning the place into a real hell on earth.
The demons took over without any real force in the end. They just let the resurrected dead fill the last straw for the collapse of this dam. He easily captured this important area.
What happened in the Royal Capital of Rodenk was a huge stain on the conservative faction of the Holy See. Therefore, it was eventually sealed in history by the Holy See.
But everything shows that the fall of Rodunk Royal Capital was caused by a terrible man-made disaster in which the Holy See was involved, and that ridiculous demon army did not exist at all.
Most of the horror stories about the Black Tide were later spread by the Holy See. Because the real powerful people know all this, so far, the southern countries have never regarded the so-called black tide as the ridiculous doomsday natural disaster.
Near the collapsed city wall of the royal capital, there are some living dead wandering sporadically. Ghouls wander here together like wild dogs, pulling out the corpses buried under the ruins to feast on them.
The army galloped over on horseback, and hundreds of scavengers looked at the torrent of steel and fled in panic. But they were soon chased.
The Iron Wall Knights seemed to be extremely good at horse fighting, and the scavengers who turned over to resist were no match for them. In the blink of an eye, the huge scavenger was repeatedly carried away by spears, decapitated by long swords, and was gradually submerged in the torrent.
After passing here, some scouts carried the torch of divine grace and went deep into the city. The Duke and others stood on the city wall and looked inside, and saw torches traveling safely in the distance.
The situation seems to be just like what humans have learned. It seems that the monsters in the entire city have flocked to the east after the city wall collapsed.
However, after discussion, everyone decided not to rush in all the time, but to adopt a more prudent plan.
The scenes they saw on the ship still remain in the minds of many people. Your Majesty also heard about that strange scene. So this caution is reasonable.
The 14,000 people were divided into three groups, marched parallelly on the three avenues of the outer city at different speeds, and began to travel into the city. On the one hand, this is conducive to the expansion of the formation and avoids being trapped in an ambush after being huddled together. On the one hand, it is also conducive to turning around and evacuation.
Of course, if the team at the front suddenly goes the wrong way in this dark fog, the team at the rear will probably not be able to react for a while.
Especially on this side of the royal capital, there are ruins everywhere and no signs at all.
However, with Duke Adeline's military qualities, such a problem should not arise.
At this time, the sun had not yet completely penetrated the fog, and the city was dark. The torches in the hands of the scouts in front dispelled the fog, and the fog-free roads interspersed together, like a maze.
The whole city was dead silent. On both sides of the road, most of the tall houses had collapsed, and rags and dirty debris were constantly flying in the cold wind. The gravel tripped the horses' hooves, causing the knights to slow down their pace.
Although occasionally something pushed the tiles away and rushed out of the ruins. But they were all easily solved by the knights. The imagined big thing has never rushed out of the ruins. It was as if the capital had really become a dead city, and everything had run out.
But the warriors' hearts became more and more tense. They were all experienced warriors. Although everything in front of them indicated safety, the quiet dead silence made them smell something unusual.
Jagger suddenly frowned and listened with his ears erect. After a moment, sparse sounds suddenly appeared around. Pieces of debris in the ruins were stirred up.
He looked into the distance and saw black floods spreading towards this side from all directions. Looking at the dense red eyes in the mist, Jagger's scalp suddenly exploded.
Those were countless big rats and flies all over the sky!
They set off a black tide in the city, and in a blink of an eye, they submerged the scouts who were in a hurry to escape in front. The people and horses only had time to scream, and they were eaten up by the hungry rats in an instant!
For a moment, Jagger almost froze in place. He thought about what he would encounter in this capital, but he didn't expect to encounter such a group of enemies.
In an instant, the black flood had already rushed towards the knights. Jagger roared and drew out the sword in his hand. The long sword made a crisp long cry like a hawk fighting in the sky. Then, the holy fire in the sky followed his long sword and turned a large group of rats around into ashes in the screams.
The sound of punishment and the cries of the priests resounded in the team, and the holy fire almost illuminated the entire sky.
The Thornbirds, the army that truly mastered the skills of the temple, showed their true strength at this moment. In an instant, the surging black tide was blocked in front.
These insects and rats that have lived in darkness and fog for many years seem to be extremely afraid of the light that can dispel fog and darkness. In these lights, the rats were temporarily dispersed to the surroundings, but the bear red eyes pressed together in the surrounding fog were increasing, as if endless.
They were driven back again and again, and came back again and again. Screaming in hunger, peeping at the fresh flesh and blood. Just wait for the manpower to run out and then have a full meal.
Looking at the terrifying rats that have covered the ruins more than one meter thick in the distance, Jagger couldn't help but feel cold all over. He suddenly realized that this was not something that human power could resist at all.
At this moment, a troop appeared in Jagger's field of vision in the distance
