The zombie army that attacked the city gate was pushed back outside the city gate by the counterattack of Annuo and the bronze-level adventurers.
The mercenaries and soldiers in the rear also followed up to help Annuo and others consolidate the defense line.
When it was discovered that the flying units among the zombies started to drop zombies into the city again.
Anno climbed up the city wall and set his sights on these flying units.
Because the drop height is too high, the short zombie will be smashed when it hits the ground.
Therefore, flying units will lower their altitude after flying over the city wall.
Anno took the opportunity to attack the opponent with [Dark Orb], and let the second-level magic summons attack the flying units.
Most of these flying units are first-level.
Second-level undead giant eagle beasts are a minority.
Anno only found a dozen or so.
In the harpy's suicide attack, a second-level giant eagle beast with a height of more than two meters and a wingspan of six or seven meters had its wings injured by the explosion and fell from the sky.
When it reached the ground, the giant eagle beast was quickly killed by several third-level summons that Annuo had specially summoned.
"It's a little weaker, but at least it's a second-level flying summon!"
An Nuo took the heart that Xue Feibai brought over and summoned a second-level giant eagle beast.
Although it is impossible to break through the grade limit, the level of the giant eagle beast as a summon has reached 15.
At the peak of the second stage, it is already the absolute overlord of the surrounding flying units.
After Anno let it fly into the sky, from time to time a zombie flying unit with torn wings would fall from the sky.
Finally, Annuo freed up a few more spots and selected five second-level flying units as the summoned air squad.
In addition to the giant eagle beast, there are also second-level harpies, griffins, giant killer bees, and firebirds.
With them, the air units of the zombie army were quickly wiped out and no longer had the ability to airdrop.
But on the contrary, Annuo can occasionally airdrop the low-health second-level summons to the place where zombies gather.
Even though there are tens of thousands of zombies.
But as long as there is enough time, it is not impossible to kill them all.
However, all this is subject to a prerequisite.
That is, the cursed demon will be killed in the end.
Otherwise, the current victory will only be temporary.
As for Sylvia.
An Nuo just glanced over there and saw that she had already dealt with Asa.
She was exhausted and her magic power was almost depleted.
He is currently hiding behind the zombie army to recover.
"Very good!"
An Nuo showed an excited expression on his face and jumped down from the city wall.
Just as it was about to hit the group of zombies below.
The summoned griffin flew by.
He just caught Anno who was landing and flew towards Sylvia.
Anno had already seen that Asa's body was flashing with orange light!
This is the soul of a fourth-level zombie.
After picking it up, get the sacrificial materials, and then you can summon it directly after breaking through to the fourth level.
Delicious!
When An Nuo flew to the 300-meter range where the soul was automatically picked up.
Asa's zombie soul flew into the air and merged into Anno.
Looking at Sylvia hiding in the grass below, Annuo controlled the griffin to fly over.
Sylvia heard the sound of wind from above, and when she looked up she saw a zombie griffin rushing down.
She frowned, thinking she had been discovered.
As it moved, the top of the wand also glowed white.
Just as Sylvia was about to throw out the [Holy Light Bullet],
The swooping griffin suddenly turned and climbed.
At the same time, a familiar voice sounded in the air.
"Lady Sylvia, we are one family, don't do anything!"
Seeing Sylvia put away her wand, Annuo in the air wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, he has good eyesight.
From a distance, I could see Sylvia preparing magic.
Otherwise, if he just rushed down, he would not die at the hands of the zombie army, but would be killed by his own people with holy light.
After landing safely, Annuo smiled at Sylvia.
However, under the shining white light of the crystal on the top of the staff.
Anno standing next to the griffin with a rotten head.
The smiling face looks somewhat eerie.
"Is this also your summon?"
Seeing Sylvia's confused tone, An Nuo quickly explained: "It wasn't before, but it is now!"
Sylvia pursed her lips and stared at An Nuo for a long time.
As if trying to find a hint of inhumanity in him.
An Nuo felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He gave an awkward but polite smile and said, "I'm here to take you back. Please take the griffin back to the city first."
When Sylvia saw the rotten griffin, she instinctively frowned.
Riding the zombie griffin made Sylvia feel polluted.
But she doesn't have the ability to fly now.
All the mana recovery potions he had with him were also drunk in the previous battle.
Without her magic powers, she is now unable to cut through the zombie horde.
Or you can slowly recover your magic power here and then rush back.
Or you can just ride the zombies back.
Ultimately, to go back and ensure Tester's safety.
Sylvia could only endure the strong feeling of discomfort in her heart and stepped onto the griffin's back.
As Sylvia flew into the air holding the griffin's feathers, there was only one voice in her heart.
"I can't keep these shoes or the gloves anymore! Holy Light, please forgive me!"
After sending Sylvia away, Annuo immediately ran to Asa's body and dug out the heart of the dead.
“Hehehehe!”
Annuo put the fourth-level heart into the space ring with a wicked grin.
“It shouldn’t be a big problem for two sixth-level warriors to deal with a sixth-level curse demon.
My silver level mission has also been completed.
Next, you just need to complete another silver-level mission [Valkham Showdown].
On the way, find a way to raise the level of the adventurers."
Anno summoned a second-level harpy, hung on its claws and flew back.
There are still tens of thousands of zombies attacking Valkham.
Among them, there are more than 4,000 zombies above level two!
If you can get rid of all the zombies.
The overall level of Valkham's professionals will be raised by one level.
As the president of the Adventurer's Guild, Annuo naturally focused on taking care of the adventurers in the subsequent battles.
The mercenaries wanted to fight at the city gate to gain experience.
But they were unable to withstand the front line of the zombie attack.
Even Warwick and Linda didn't dare to lead their men forward.
They could only watch as groups of adventurers took turns stepping forward to fight the crippled zombies.
Such battles are neither dangerous nor difficult to hone the adventurers' combat skills.
After killing, you can also increase your experience level.
Sylvia, who flew back, originally wanted to help defend the city.
But seeing the scene at the city gate, and Tester and Viscount Renault sitting in the back chatting.
She was silent.
Sylvia had previously suspected that Anno, who could control zombies, might have a problem with his identity.
Maybe he is a member of the Dark Church.
But the members of the Dark Church will never help defend the city at this moment!
"Perhaps, using undead zombies to fight undead zombies is the best way."
Sylvia murmured softly as she watched the zombies biting each other.
It was originally a summoned zombie, so it is impossible for it to be infected again.
…
The battle at the city gate lasted all night.
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning illuminates the world.
There were only a few scattered zombies left of the more than 10,000 zombies outside the city.
The adventurers who had already rushed to a few dozen meters outside the city gate were all panting.
They held weapons in their hands.
Some were standing, some were half-kneeling, some were leaning on the city wall, or they were just lying on the ground, all looking at the sun rising in the east.
On the city wall.
Leonard and Quin stood beside Test, looking at the adventurers below.
They fought the cursed demon for three hours last night before they finally killed it.
During the fight, Kun got his arm scratched.
He cut off his arm at the root immediately to avoid being infected.
An Nuo, who was standing not far from the two of them, was looking at them with a resentful look on his face.
When the two men came back, Annuo was supervising the battle at the city gate and didn't notice anything.
And Tester didn't ask anyone to tell Annuo about this.
This meant that it was several hours later before An Nuo discovered that the two had returned.
Annuo was preparing to absorb the soul of the cursed demon.
But if the soul exists for more than an hour it will dissipate.
That’s a sixth-level soul!
"How much sorrow can one have? It's like a sixth-level soul that no one wants! No! One! Wants!"
Tester and Viscount Renault, who had been standing on the city wall all night, saw the last level 1 zombie being killed by the mercenaries, and announced to all the professionals below: "Everyone, the Valkham decisive battle was a success! We have successfully protected the safety of Valkham!"
“Oh~~~!”
Although they were exhausted, the surviving professionals still howled with all their might.
Residents nearby spread the news.
The residents of Valkham, who had been living in fear all night, cheered wildly when they learned that the invading enemies had been completely wiped out.
The professionals near the city wall, after a burst of shouting as if to vent, turned their eyes to a young man on the city wall.
Now, it's time to reward people based on their merits.
In this battle to defend the city, apart from Leonard, Kun and Sylvia, this person contributed the most.
The president of the Adventurer's Guild——Anno!
