The main building of the Moving Castle of the Dead.
Li Ziyu stood in front of the window, looking out at the wasteland in the night. Amidst the flying dust, lizardmen warriors rushed over with weapons in hand. It was a chase, and he was the one being chased.
Crackling...
The sound of bones rubbing against each other made him turn his head to look at the skeleton undead holding a round shield and a bone knife behind him.
"The enemy is on the platform."
Just one sentence made Li Ziyu's eyes widen. He really didn't expect that a lizardman warrior would rush up. After a moment of panic, he calmed down again and said, "Find me a scimitar!"
The skeleton undead turned and walked towards the bone wall, snatched a scimitar commonly used by lizardmen from his companion's hand, handed it to Li Ziyu, then silently turned around and returned to the wall.
Li Ziyu shook the scimitar in his hand, turned around and sat back on the big bone chair, staring at the gate quietly. In front of him, ten skeleton warriors lined up in a row, standing silently.
…
Am, with a dozen members of the Lizardman assault team, broke through the obstacles like a sharp knife and climbed onto the fortress platform.
After reaching the platform, the number of skeleton undead they faced increased exponentially. In order to protect the safety of the main building, the skeleton undead came out in full force and killed the invaders.
Stepping on the bone plates, with a foothold under their feet, Am and the members of the assault team could finally exert all their fighting power. Facing the surging undead, they showed violent looks on their faces and rushed forward with screams, just like stones facing the white waves.
The waves crashed against the rocks, splashing white water. Those were the bones of the skeleton undead flying around. The lizardmen warriors of the assault team were more ferocious than the undead. They believed in their own strength and held their positions firmly. Those undead who were only skeletons were very light and could be easily knocked away.
More and more undead came to attack, but they did not move at all, and even continued to advance. Without the support of the mobile castle, the weakness of the undead finally appeared. Their individual combat power was far weaker than that of these assault team members. More than a hundred undead were still unable to stop their advance.
After Am and his men rushed onto the fortress platform, it was like a floodgate was opened. More and more lizardmen followed suit, clinging to the mobile fortress and climbing up. While the undead focused their main attention on Am and his men, they climbed onto the platform and joined the battle.
The undead failed to quickly eliminate Am, but instead allowed the lizardman's team to gradually expand.
"Hiss! Charge towards the gate! Charge into their main building—"
Am saw the towering main building of the fortress in front of him and the two tightly closed doors. He suddenly understood that if he rushed in, he would get the final victory. He could get revenge and regain his lost rights, and even go a step further. He raised the scimitar in his hand high and charged forward like crazy.
No matter how much they looked down on Am before, when they saw his madness at this moment, the lizardmen warriors were infected and followed him, rushing forward, spontaneously protecting Am and the assault team members, blocking wave after wave of undead. As for whether they would die among the undead, it no longer mattered. This was a battle, and everything was for victory.
The assault team rushed to the main entrance of the main building and attacked the gate frantically.
Li Ziyu sat on the large bone chair, listening to the clanging sounds outside, gritting his teeth, his face solemn. It was the first time he was so close to danger, and fear rose uncontrollably in his heart. His hand subconsciously grasped the hilt of the knife, his muscles and skin stiffened, and he felt unable to move due to fear.
The psychological pressure continued to increase, and fragments of memories from his past life kept flashing through his mind. He closed his eyes, the memory fragments disappeared, and his brain became blank. When he opened his eyes again, bloodshot appeared in his eyes, his body trembled uncontrollably, twitching slightly, and suddenly there was a "pop" in his mind, as if something had broken.
The heart began to beat violently, the blood rushed and roared in the veins, the adrenaline was stimulated, Li Ziyu shuddered violently, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. It was a hideous, rampant, and violent smile, like the last madness of a wild beast.
Some people will collapse under great pressure, and some people will go crazy under great pressure. It depends on the person's heart. He is the latter: even if he dies, he will take someone with him!
Death is not something I should fear, at least I died on the battlefield!
I, the Lord of the Undead, the spokesperson for death, why should I fear death?
If someone blocks your door and beats you, should you endure it or not?
The thoughts in his mind gradually became distorted and confused, turning into a chaotic mess. Li Ziyu's eyes were red. He slowly stood up, straightened his back, gripped the scimitar in his hand, and looked straight at the direction of the gate. His blood was burning!
"Open the door! Accept the challenge!"
The suppressed, low roar squeezed out from between teeth echoed in the empty main building.
No one cared to persuade or even glance at the orders issued by the city lord. The city lord's will was unquestionable.
Click, click, click…
With the sound of friction, the two doors slowly opened.
The lizardmen who were constantly attacking outside stopped their attacks, took two steps back, looked at the open door with a fierce look on their faces, and moved their shoulders, necks, and muscles all over their bodies.
The door was completely opened, and everything in the main building appeared before their eyes. On both sides were the skeletons of the undead that had been decomposed from the walls. In front of them was a row of skeleton warriors holding bone shields and bone knives, and they looked even more imposing. Looking back, in front of the large bone chair, stood a human holding a scimitar.
Human?
The members of the assault team were stunned for a moment, looking at each other, and they could see confusion and doubt in their teammates' eyes. They couldn't understand how a human could appear among a group of undead, and it seemed that the undead were still protecting this human.
Am's reaction was much faster than the members of the assault team. He didn't want to think about why there were humans among the undead. He just wanted revenge and wanted to wipe out his previous humiliation!
"kill--"
With a roar, Am rushed into the main building first, and the members of the assault team also reacted and followed closely.
Looking at the charging lizardmen, Li Ziyu stepped forward to fight, followed by the skeleton warriors. "Kill the enemy!"
Li Ziyu flew back just as fast as he rushed forward. Just a simple collision between his and Am's scimitars made his arms numb and he almost couldn't hold the knife. Then he was kicked hard in the abdomen, and was kicked off the ground, passed through the gap between the skeleton warriors, and fell back in front of the bone chair.
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel. No matter how brave he is, he is just an ordinary human being who lacks training. Facing the battle-hardened, robber-turned-leader of the lizardmen, he is far inferior to them and is defeated as soon as he goes up.
"Hiss, trash human."
Am kicked Li Ziyu away and stuck out his tongue in disdain. In his mind, all humans were like this, they made a lot of noise but were nothing when they really started fighting. He had plundered many human caravans, and those so-called guards were just noisy and had no real skills at all.
Li Ziyu struggled to stand up with the help of his scimitar, feeling that his intestines were tangled. He covered his lower abdomen, raised his head, and stared fiercely at Am who was standing with a knife. The other lizardmen had already fought with the skeleton warriors.
