The carriage began to turn, and Lily almost fell to the ground in the violent shaking and bumping. She couldn't help but hold on to the window tightly with one hand and hugged Hels with the other hand. It took a while for her to stabilize herself.

There was a noisy and chaotic sound outside the carriage. When the Northern Knights saw the enemy in front of them, they adjusted their formation while shouting, pulled down their masks, drew the weapons on their saddles, and began to meet the enemy.

Lily, who was staying in the carriage, only felt that the carriage was being driven to turn in a hurry, and the sound of fierce fighting began to be heard from the back of the carriage.

The sounds of galloping horses, clashing weapons, roaring and shouting came one after another, and from time to time there was also the sound of swords piercing flesh, which made people worried and uneasy.

In the wilderness, the Rose Knights who had been waiting here rushed down the hillside, spread out in a fan-shaped formation, and headed straight for the carriage where Lily was, while the Northern Knights fought desperately to resist and block them. The two sides charged towards each other on horseback, and in the first encounter, more than 20 people were directly stabbed and fell to the ground, followed by a fierce close-range battle.

Although the carriage was very fast, it was still not fast enough compared to the Rose Knights' excellent Warcraft mounts.

Soon, Lily heard the fierce sound of swords clashing outside the car window. The harsh sound of the sword blades rubbing and colliding made people tremble.

"Swish--" A sharp sword suddenly pierced through the wall of the carriage, cutting Lily's arm, but the sword was quickly pulled out and blocked by the Northern Knights outside.

Frightened by this, Lily had to hold Hels in her arms and away from the car walls on both sides.

But even so, the situation was getting worse and worse. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer surviving Northern Knights, and Lily's heart sank step by step.

She reached for the dagger at her waist, ready to use it for a final stand, when she felt the touch of a harder metal product on the side of her hand.

"This is……"

She took it out and found that it was indeed the bell given to her by the Death Scythe Knight in the Glyph Fortress the day before.

"Please ring this bell when you are in danger." This was the message the knight gave her.

At this time, we can only try.

She nervously shook the slightly heavy and old bell, but the clapper did not make sounds according to her frequency. Instead, it hit the inner wall of the bell at a slow speed, making a clear and distant sound.

It was like the midnight bell ringing in an empty church. Although the sound of the bell was not loud, it could be heard from far away in the wilderness.

At first, Lily thought it was some special treasure, but after the bell rang for a while, it gradually stopped, and the battle outside remained unchanged with no improvement.

This made Lily depressed and desperate.

Time began to pass, and the Northern Knights fell one by one. This team of the Rose Knights began to gain an overwhelming advantage in the battle.

Although there were only about 60 people, it was already an insurmountable peak for the remaining 30 or so Northern Knights.

“Swish——”

A long and narrow trail of blood splattered on the carriage, staining it red.

Lily hugged Hels, her palms trembling slightly.

There is not much time left.

Just as the detachment of the Rose Knights was about to take control of the carriage, a strange sound of horse hooves came from the darkness, followed by a cry of surprise.

A group of ghostly knights appeared in the night. There were about 20 of them, their bodies glowing with a faint blue light. They rode ghostly warhorses and wore black steel armor, with nothing around their necks.

Dead Souls 5: Headless Ghost Rider

This is a powerful kind of undead warrior created by the necromancers during the Mercury Dynasty. Their heads were lost at the time of death and were later resurrected by the necromancers.

'To the dead, the head is but an ornament.'

In order to reduce weight, avoid unnecessary flaws, and maintain team consistency, Necromancers often remove the Ghost Knight's head.

In this way, outsiders have no way of knowing whether this ghost knight was a human, orc, or elf in his lifetime.

Once they appeared, these ghost knights began to charge forward.

That strange figure, piercing through the pitch-black night, attracted the attention of the fighting members of the Rose Knights.

"superior!"

Although they don't know who recruited these ghost knights, it definitely wasn't one of their own. In order to prevent the queen from being rescued, they had another task.

During battle, lances and longswords pierced the bodies of these ghostly knights, without a sound or blood. Methods used against living people were often ineffective against these beings.

But correspondingly, the attacks of these ghost knights are also more special and weird. The sword blades cut through the bodies, making people feel a chill that touches the soul.

Some members of the Rose Knights froze, and it often took them a second or two to react and recover. In a duel between masters, a loss of a second or two could often be fatal.

The pursuing members of the Rose Knights also began to get hurt. They couldn't help but treat these enemies seriously and concentrate their minds.

After several battles, they gradually realized how to deal with these ghost knights and began to regain control of the battlefield.

However, while these enemies were fighting the Ghost Knight, the carriage took Lily to the other side of the wilderness at a rapid speed, and she finally took advantage of this rare opportunity to escape.

In the darkness of the night, the lantern hanging on the front of the car was shaking constantly, and the situation ahead was not clear. I could only pray that I would not hit anything as I drove so fast.

Gradually, Lily finally felt that the carriage had stabilized, and at this time they didn't know where they were running to, and it was pitch black all around.
