Holy Sword!
At the front lines of the Aaron Empire, a group of soldiers stood in formation, holding torches aloft, nervously awaiting the terrifying creatures lurking in the eternal darkness.
At one moment, a jumble of footsteps echoed from the darkness!
Upon hearing the sound, a soldier immediately shouted, "They're here!"
It was clear that every soldier was very nervous; their palms and the backs of their hands were sweaty, and none of them dared to blink.
Behind these soldiers, a knight in red armor was shouting, "Soldiers, we are the watchdogs of the Empire. Behind us is our motherland, and beneath our feet is our homeland. No one is allowed to retreat a single step!"
"Even if it means death, we cannot let these monsters cross the Golden City!"
"Prepare the oil arrows!"
"Put!"
At that moment, rockets and oil jets streaked across the sky, illuminating the night as if it were daytime, and also revealing the monsters lurking in the darkness!
Monsters appeared in the darkness, stretching as far as the eye could see, covering mountains and plains without end!
They swarmed in like a zombie horde from Resident Evil, and any formation or tactical defense was futile!
Faced with the horde of ghouls rushing forward, they didn't even have a chance to fight back, as monsters crowded around and pounced on them!
The tide of ghouls surged up instantly, and in this crowded situation, they couldn't even wield their weapons properly!
Not to mention retaliating!
The front lines were breached almost instantly, and the soldiers behind lost all will to resist.
"No..."
"We can't win!"
"We're all going to die here!"
"Don't lose formation!!"
With morale plummeting, some soldiers turned and ran away, and no one could stop them!
Faced with this situation, even the leading knight was at a loss.
Because he was afraid too.
Seeing everyone running back, the knight had no choice but to lead the way and run back as well!
But the city gate behind them was already tightly shut!
"Open the door!!"
"Quickly, open the city gates!"
No matter how frantically they pounded on the city gate, the people above refused to open it!
"They've caught up. If we open the city gates now, everyone in the city will die!"
"If you don't open the city gates, we're finished!!"
"Please, please! My wife is pregnant, let me in!"
As the soldiers were all piled up at the city gate, a White Walker on horseback emerged from among the monsters!
He wielded a greatsword and shield, and wore the armor of a church paladin.
But he had no head.
A large number of ghouls scattered to both sides, clearing a path!
The headless paladin began to charge forward at breakneck speed on his horse!
He raised his sharp blade, the edge of which gleamed with golden light!
That's the Supreme Saint Slash!
The headless knight leaped up on his warhorse and cleaved the heavy city gate in two with a single blow!
The city gates were breached, and people outside began to frantically push their way in, as did the monsters!
The situation immediately descended into chaos, with White Walkers and soldiers mixed together as they stormed into the city!
The defending knights were still shouting, "Don't retreat! Hold them off!!"
"Hold the city gate shut!"
No matter how much he shouted, the screams of the people drowned out all other sounds!
Even louder than those sounds were the slogans shouted by the monsters!
"The world will eventually be swallowed by white frost, and everything will return to the long night, but we will be eternally immortal!!"
The corpses piled up like mountains, and the ghouls pushed them down; no one could resist.
The knight defending the city knelt on the ground in despair, "It's over... The empire's strongest army has crumbled so easily..."
"God, please save us..."
The god did not respond to the knight; instead, he responded with a spear formed from condensed ice crystals!
Whoosh!
The ice crystal spear pierced through the air, heading straight for his forehead!
But just then, a ray of light suddenly pierced the sky shrouded in darkness!
The flying ice crystal spear was caught by a hand and then shattered instantly.
The desperate knight looked up and saw a paladin covered in armor.
Platinum armor, the Holy Church's cross seal, a red cloak, and riding a white horse with wings!
That's right!
"The Holy Sword... Achilles?"
Before the knight could say anything more, Achilles rode off on his white horse!
The white horse has wings on its back; it's the legendary Winged Horse!
Achilles drew his holy sword from his waist, its dazzling light shining between heaven and earth. His blade shone with a light as bright as the sun, and he slashed directly at the earth!
The Supreme Saint Slash!
Boom!
The massive sword light slashed down onto the ground, creating a huge crack. All the monsters that came into contact with the attack were instantly reduced to ashes!
In the distance, a group of White Walkers on horseback exclaimed in surprise at the paladin riding a white horse, "The Church's holy sword?"
"It's Achilles!"
This level of attack power?
Even from afar, the Frost King could sense the terrifying power of that sword strike; it must have been at least a fifth-tier weapon.
However, until now, no particularly strong enemies have appeared. Now, suddenly a fifth-tier enemy has appeared. Isn't the power gap in this world a bit too big?
Moreover, even though it was the same Supreme Saint Slash, the previous Holy Knights didn't have this effect.
The Frost King looked at a White Walker and communicated with him directly through telepathy.
"You go."
"Ah... me?"
The White Walker pointed at himself, "My king, that's Achilles! A being who can even kill Celestial Creature!"
The Frost King's azure pupils flashed, as if giving a command, and the White Walker could only grit its teeth and charge out!
He reached out, and an ice crystal spear materialized in his hand, which he hurled directly at the knight in the sky!
Click!
Before the ice spear could even hit Achilles, it shattered within a certain area around him!
This action also caught Achilles' attention!
In an instant, Achilles charged down on his horse and, like a flash of light, severed the White Walker's head!
But he didn't stop; instead, he ran towards the Frost King!
"You brought all of this upon yourself, didn't you?"
Faced with Achilles charging at them on his Winged Horse, the Frost King pulled on the reins, waved to the people beside him, and turned to leave.
At the same time, Achilles behind him froze in mid-air!
When he broke free from his stillness, the Frost King and the group of White Walkers had vanished without a trace.
Here, although the Frost King was briefly repelled, the large number of undead left behind were still difficult to deal with!
Not to mention they also suffer from Frozen Disease, an incurable disease!
But in the capital city behind the Golden City, in Aarons Royal City, the nobles continued to sing and dance, showing no sense of crisis that the end was nigh.
A duke summoned nobles from all sides and held a banquet, also bringing along a large number of prostitutes.
The nobles, holding wine glasses, displayed their ugly behavior at the banquet.
The host of the banquet stood there, enjoying their ugly appearance.
But just then, a white-haired woman wearing a blood-red dress walked in.
The woman was extremely beautiful, with a pair of black eyes that exuded a bewitching charm, and her bright red lips were incredibly alluring.
The duke who hosted the banquet was so captivated by the woman that he went straight up to her and extended an invitation.
"Beautiful lady, may I have this dance?"
