He really didn't know where this idiot got his confidence from.
He actually thought he could subdue the enemy without a fight, relying on his charm.
Seriously, doesn't this guy even consider if he's worthy?
Watching as Earl Yellman was escorted down the city walls by several knights.
Rhode narrowed his eyes, looking at the approaching knightly legion outside the city.
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers, equipped with complete siege weaponry.
He didn't know what means the Queen had used to transport all of this to the Yellman Kingdom in such a short amount of time.
It was probably some kind of special magic.
However, even he wasn't sure he could manage such a large-scale teleportation over such a long distance.
Yet she had done it.
He seemed to have underestimated the Queen's strength.
Just this feat alone, regardless of the method used, made it clear that her strength was no weaker than his.
Boom!
Huge siege weapons repeatedly slammed against the city walls.
Within the army, Queen Franney's face was as cold as frost as she questioned the knight captain before her.
"At least six more hours."
The knight captain stood tremulously in place, head lowered, not daring to look at the Queen's expression, cold sweat already soaking his back.
Throughout the entire Marquis of Chris, the only person he feared so much was this Queen.
Her methods were enough to make even babies afraid to cry.
"Too long."
"The time is too long."
Queen Franney muttered softly, a dark light flashing in her eyes.
Gazing at the castle ahead, a nearly insane desire flashed past.
Vaguely, countless dark energies seemed to emanate from her body, wanting to drag everything around her into the darkness.
Black tendrils even stretched out in front of the knight captain, about to devour the terrified knight captain, when suddenly all the darkness vanished.
It was as if everything just now had been an illusion.
"I'll give you two hours. If you can't breach this city wall, you should know the consequences."
Queen Franney's faint voice echoed in the knight captain's ear.
"Two hours, we will definitely breach the Yellman Kingdom."
The knight captain, whose whole body was soaked in cold sweat, quickly guaranteed, turning and quickly leaving.
Only after walking far away did he dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
Almost, if he had answered anything wrong just now, he would probably already be dead.
The Queen is becoming more and more terrifying.
His eyes turned to the towering city walls ahead, the knight captain gritting his teeth inwardly, no matter what methods he used next, he had to breach this damned city wall within two hours.
Otherwise, they would be the ones to die.
"Are these guys crazy!"
The Yellman Kingdom soldiers who were holding their ground on the city walls suddenly felt the pressure skyrocket.
The offensive, which had just been back and forth, taking advantage of the city's defenses, suddenly became precarious.
The knight captain in charge of commanding the battlefield glanced at the city below and couldn't help but gasp.
The guys under the castle were simply acting like they didn't care about their lives.
Risking being smashed to death, they still had to bite a piece of flesh off the Yellman Kingdom soldiers.
It was as if there was something even more terrifying behind them, making them unafraid of even death.
That crazy energy made the Yellman Kingdom army on the city walls feel chilled.
Gradually, the Yellman Kingdom army, which had barely been able to hold on, gradually began to collapse.
After all, they were just soldiers serving their lord, not slaves.
With this little salary in hand, why risk their lives?
They weren't those high and mighty knights.
"No retreating, no one is allowed to retreat."
Seeing these lower-level soldiers gradually beginning to collapse, a group of knights began to get restless.
If these damned commoners ran away, then they would be the ones at the front.
They were noble knights, even if it was battlefield slaughter, it was a contest with knights of the same level, how could they wrestle with these damned commoners.
However, this scolding only made more lower-level soldiers panic.
Seeing more and more people beginning to flee, the knight captain's eyes turned fierce, drawing his knight's sword and directly beheading two deserters.
"Anyone who dares to escape again, I'll kill him now."
The bloody slaughter instantly calmed the fleeing soldiers.
Looking at the reorganized defense line, the knight captain breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But he also knew that this situation couldn't last long, the gap in absolute strength couldn't be changed by a moment's courage.
"Lord Rhode, please take action."
His eyes turned to Rhode, who had not moved all this time, the knight captain walked over and requested in a low voice.
"Mm."
Rhode nodded, even if this guy didn't speak, he was planning to take action.
The reason he hadn't taken action before was just to let these guys know how strong the Chris Kingdom was.
So strong that the Yellman Kingdom's strength could absolutely not resist.
Offering charcoal in the snow is always easier to remember than adding flowers to the brocade.
Now the effect has probably been achieved, it's time to take action.
After all, the entire Yellman Kingdom will be Elo's dowry in the future, too many casualties would be a loss of his property.
"Death, take action."
"This time, you can indulge in slaughter."
Rhode said lightly, he brought the Death Apostle here to take the opportunity to expand the Death Apostle's legion of wraiths.
Outside the castle, there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers and knights, if they could all be buried here, the legion of wraiths would be complete.
When the time comes, he could directly find a reason and excuse to openly annex the surrounding lords and nobles.
With the legion of wraiths' snowballing ability.
Ruling the entire Southern Continent was not a dream.
The Death Apostle next to him heard Rhode's words, and a bloodthirsty smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Father, I will make sure all of these guys are buried here."
Slowly walking to the edge of the city wall, looking down at the masses of people below, the Death Apostle's eyes gradually deepened.
He had waited too long for this slaughter.
"Can he do it alone?"
Looking at the Death Apostle's back, a hint of doubt appeared on the knight captain's face.
If Rhode himself took action, he would definitely have the confidence to repel the Chris Kingdom's army.
After all, this was the legendary knight who had slain giants.
But, a guy who came out of nowhere, could his strength be stronger than Rhode, the Grand Knight?
How is that possible!
Swish!
Just as the knight captain was thinking in his heart, an arrow suddenly pierced the Death Apostle's body.
The arrow instantly passed through his body, leaving a trail of blood.
The Death Apostle looked at the wound on his chest, raised his eyebrows slightly, the light in the shadows became even more violent.
"Mere mortals!"
How dare they hurt him?
"He's injured."
Seeing this scene, the knight captain couldn't help but gasp.
His body was pierced by an arrow, this guy must be dead.
"Don't worry."
Rhode calmly crossed his arms, next was the Death Apostle's performance time.
This little injury was probably no different to him than being bitten by a mosquito.
Is this not urgent?
This guy is about to die.
The knight captain took a deep breath, just as he was about to persuade him, he saw the Death Apostle standing on the city wall, slowly opening his arms.
Swish!
In an instant, the sky suddenly dimmed.
Just as everyone on the battlefield looked up at the sky at the same time, filled with doubt.
One by one, ferocious wraiths emerged from the Death Apostle's body and landed on the ground.
In the next second, hundreds of wraiths slowly stood up.
"Kill them!"
The Death Apostle pointed his finger, all the wraiths, as if they had received an order, pounced on the Chris Kingdom soldiers around them.
Although the individual combat power of the wraiths was not high, they still killed many soldiers by surprise.
The killed soldiers fell to the ground, and after a moment, wraiths with a dark luster struggled to stand up from the corpses.
Continuing to attack the surrounding soldiers.
"Be careful of these guys."
The Chris Kingdom's knight commander looked at this scene, his face filled with horror.
It wasn't scary for soldiers to be killed, but it was a bit terrifying that they could turn into undead and fight after being killed.
If this continued, these undead might kill them all.
The knight commander suppressed the fear in his heart and swung his sword to kill a wraith.
But in this kind of battlefield, the speed of the wraiths' recovery skyrocketed.
In just a moment, the wraiths that had just been killed had already revived.
As the legion of wraiths expanded, the number of wraiths, which had only been a few hundred, surpassed a thousand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A dozen minutes later, the number of the legion of wraiths had exceeded two thousand.
The speed of expansion was still accelerating.
