Fierce Battle Outside the Chapel (3)

"Fire the signal flare!"

"Prepare to charge."

"Scarlet Crusade, victory!"

"Blessed by the Holy Light, victory!"

Marlene was not intimidated by the enemy's momentum. Leading the charge, she commanded the elite knights like a searing blade stabbing into the surging brown tide.

The knights who had unleashed the power of the Holy Light trampled the Ghouls before them beneath their mounts. Blades hacked and axes cleaved, Undead limbs filled their sight, and Undead corpses littered the ground.

With a single mass charge, they utterly shattered this Undead force sent to block them. The Scarlet Crusade's assault split the enemy line cleanly in two.

The human knights, individually far stronger, swiftly slaughtered the Undead soldiers and Ghouls, who had lost all formation and were fighting entirely on their own.

The High Elf rangers led by Lunse Hawkspear did not charge alongside them.

It was not because they feared death. They needed their precise arrows to kill the Undead soldiers entangled in melee with the Scarlet Crusade knights, while remaining alert for the Gargoyle legion that had followed them all the way, preventing the Undead from attacking from both front and rear.

"Commander Maxwell, it's the Scarlet Crusade! The Scarlet Crusade has arrived! They're fighting the Undead rearguard, but the situation is still unknown."

The messenger shouted excitedly, drawing the attention of the other knights responsible for directing the battle.

Maxwell had no time to concern himself with the fighting between Silver Dawn soldiers and the Undead atop the walls. He hurried to the chapel roof, the highest point in the entire Silver Dawn base.

Taking a military spyglass, he saw through its lens that the distant Scarlet Crusade consisted entirely of heavily armored knights. From their equipment and the way they fought, he could tell that they were all elite troops
