《The Zodians - Book 1: The Outlander》The Return of Warriors - Chapter 11: Death from Above
Advertisement
Lyrrocks has five gates, in which Reind, O'Biehn and Leila and thirty warriors will break through the Steel Gate; the remaining gates will consist of two knights and thirty warriors, of which Aris Maiden and Megara march to the Wood gate; Fanny and Hendrich will fight from the Water Gate; The Fire Gate will be in charge of Herone and Tyron and finally the Earth Gate is assigned to Hargnes and Andrea. Jon alone, along with his mother and Phalanx, brought one last warrior to carry out a mission he said was extremely important.
At Steel Gate, O'Biehn launched his first attack. He stood in the center of the destroyed stone gate, while thousands of undead were rushing towards him like a storm, O'Biehn was unfazed. He straightened his bow, squinting his left eye so that the entire frame was focused on his right eye. They drew closer and closer, but O'Biehn seemed in no hurry. Then suddenly he let go of the already flaming arrow. Silver arrows like to tear the wind, instantly transformed into hundreds of arrows that pierced the heads of the undead. The entire first army seemed to turn into flickering torches. Their screams sounded horrible. The undead were afraid of fire, and O'Biehn turned the front wing into a wall of fire that slowed their advance. At the same time, Reind led his army against the enemy. Reind cut off one enemy's head with one slash, and then another slash cut through its body. O'Biehn shot in support of him, killing dozens of the undead preparing to attack from behind.
Leila punched one in the chest with her electrostatic punch, a punch that pierced through five nearby. Leila was quite used to her strength, she no longer felt dizzy after exerting force. But Leila seems to have grown tired of using thunder. She wanted to change the wind a bit. Speaking of wind, she knew what she needed to do. Leila used her inner power to float in the air. She thought of those terrifying gale-force winds that easily swept an entire hill with little effort. The sky pulled dark clouds, the whole atmosphere of the match changed. Storms of wind, gusts of wind came in droves like a fierce god coming to collect death debt. A whirlwind born from just a small ripple on the ground, then erupted into a hurricane. It swept up those burned by O'Biehn and turned the entire gale into a whirlwind of fire, sweeping away a large number of the second army. When the storm was extinguished, only a pile of black ashes remained below, unable to distinguish between ash and dust. At the beginning of the battle, the advantage is on Reind's side, but in the long run it is uncertain. No matter how he, Leila, and O'Biehn swept, the enemy army was still very large and did not seem to have decreased. Reind swore under his breath, but he could only continue to attack. He just hoped that the others arrive in time. But he really felt that he might not be able to hold on for long!
O'Biehn pointed Sagigandro into the sky, firing Fanrelt fire arrows. It tore the wind into the air, very high, then at a certain height, it fell and formed a rain of arrows. Hundreds of arrows crashed down, burning to ashes many of Lapunta's soldiers. O'Biehn also did not stop there but continued to go to the palace. He just drew his bow, then released his arrow, red flames burning on the battlefield looked like beautiful flowers in full bloom. O'Biehn supported Reind, he shot an arrow at the Pyrossid, really wanted to see what his Fanrelt would look like when absorbed by Reind. As the truth was beyond what he could have imagined. Reind had just absorbed the power of O'Biehn, and immediately became a fireball that was always about to explode. He just waited for more and more enemies to surround him, then suddenly created a huge explosion. Thousands of enemies were wiped out in the blink of an eye, but it also meant that Reind also received a lot of damage. Sagigandro's destructive power is far greater than Leila's. His right hand was badly scorched by the fire. Reind knelt down on the blackened ground, looking at his hand, which had burned to reveal red flesh, and tried to suppress the pain. Leila immediately went to Reind's place, while O'Biehn continued to cover the two.

“Reind… Are you good?”, she looked at the wound on his hand and was extremely worried.
"Can't die," he tried jokingly to forget the pain, but it didn't do much. "But I don't think I can keep absorbing the energy again so quickly."
“Hey Reind…”, O’Biehn dropped arrows in front and back, but his eyes were fixed on Reind. "Sorry! But I believe you won't die so easily!"
“Hmm,” Reind laughed and joked. "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
“Probably,” O’Biehn also wanted to follow Reind’s joke, shooting through the heads of fourteen undead at once. “You can rest assured. If you die, I'll take care of Victoria and your kid!"
"Fuck, O'Biehn!" Reind swore, laughing, but the pain eased a bit. "Go fuck yourself!"
Leila could not bear of these two old men. She swung an electrostatic punch at a enemy approaching her and said:
“I don't understand you guys at all! Reind… Can you stand up?”
“I'll try. Alright, let's get back to the war!"
With that, Reind pressed the Mighty Dragon to the ground to stand up. Even though he was heavily wounded, Reind was still able to regain his original morale. He stood up straight, mighty as if nothing had happened. The atmosphere is even higher. The three of them stood back to back, ready to fend off any blows from the enemy. O'Biehn suddenly whispered in Reind's ear:
"I was joking, don't mind me."
"I know," Reind smiled. "Because Victoria wouldn't choose you anyway!"
After saying that, without waiting for O'Biehn to say anything more, Reind rushed to slash at the enemy continuously. After all, Reind's melee skill is a master. If it weren't for Pyrossid, then with just the Mighty Dragon, he would be able to defeat these unliving entity. It's just that if he confronts Lapunta, he hardly has a chance.
The enemies are getting more and more numerous, the more they kill, the more they keep coming. All three were exhausted. Reind can no longer absorb mana, can only melee. Leila can't continuously summon thunder and storms, and O'Biehn can only hit range, and his speed is not as fast as before. The situation now gradually tilted in favor of Lapunta's tireless army. They kept growing like a hurricane, like dogs hungry for more than a week without food. Leila brought down a large pillar of lightning that wiped out a decent group, but only held them back a little, and then they continued to cling to them anyway.
A loud bang from nowhere suddenly directed all the undead's attention there. Suddenly, hundreds of Lapunta soldiers in a straight line suddenly turned to ashes immediately accompanied by an extremely clear and high-pitched sound. Without leaving the three of them surprised for too long, a loud laugh sounded very amused:
"This! There's fun waiting for us!"
A satisfied smile appeared on their faces. It's Aris and Megara attacking from the Wood Gate. Just hearing that confident and somewhat pompous voice was none other than Aris. Megara continued to pluck Cellaloron's strings sweeping Lapunta's army, while Aris's dozens of sharp Onoxisike knives kept cutting off the undead' heads. Not only their heads fell, but their bodies as well as their heads melted into a slimy pile.
At the same time, from the Water Gate, Hendrich's Arthorius summoned thunder that blew away more than half of the army, and Fanny broke the necks of several hundred soldiers in an instant. All of them are slowly gathering together. Heindrich fanned his spear in a long arc in front of the soldiers rushing towards him, instantly electrocuted and exploding. Meanwhile, Fanny continued to use her speed to tear apart monsters in a very short amount of time. Only now did they see that Lapunta's army was getting smaller. Jon was right, only attacks from all five gates could disperse the numerical strength of Lapunta's army.

Reind's group gradually regained the initiative. The Fire Gate was also destroyed. Herone froze the soldiers and then melted them to pieces. Tyron merely clenched his fist gently, and Lapunta's soldiers before him cowered and exploded into dust.
The good news came from the Earth gate just as quickly, and Hargnes and Andrea finally arrived. But the most surprising thing of all, was that Hargnes suddenly had a mount. Hargnes sat on its back like a cavalryman. She held Trikestion in one hand commanding the beast madly trampling the undead. Too bad Andrea could only run and attack right next to her. Andrea at the same time used Tantorion wrapped an entire army, hurled them high and smashed into the ground. With a single blow, the entire army of more than thirty men, the head and body shattered like a piece of rotten wood.
"Hargnes, what is this?", Aris was both surprised and excited to see this beast trample hundreds of enemies with ease.
They were all delighted to see her mount. In general, it resembles a mountain goat with curved horns like a spiral and golden fur that looks extremely shiny. With the size of a house, its four giant legs give power to its stomps. Hargnes swung Trikestion to the right to cut off half of a soldier who was about to attack her from behind, his other hand stroking its soft fur. She said:
"You won't believe it," she smiled. “This is La Delpostre, and its divine beast form.”
Hearing this, everyone gasped in surprise. This beautiful animal is that warship? But they couldn't continue to be surprised, there was still a mighty army that they needed to overcome in order to find the most important person to destroy.
The Eleven Knights had fully gathered together. It's time for a real battle. This time Hargnes started the offensive. She urged Delpostre to charge straight into the battlefield, where Lapunta's army also rushed madly. Delpostre leapt forward, then stomped down with a devastating blow that shook the ground, knocking down dozens of nearby soldiers. Delpostre ran to destroy the enemy's fence, while Hargnes repeatedly slashed and killed Lapunta's soldiers. Nor did Aris Maiden let her take all the credit. He threw a knife with one hand, cutting off the heads of dozens of them at once, holding the Onoxisike that had turned into a long sword in the other hand, slashing the army in front of him into the air with confused heads. Fanny repeatedly punched the entire army, her running speed caused the pile of enemies standing nearby to be thrown into the air. O'Biehn took the opportunity to fire Fanrelt's fire arrows making them explode into fireballs in the sky, scattering into small fire particles that scattered on the ground, continuing to destroy hundreds more below.
Leila created a blizzard, dragging the changing weather with it. A heavy snow fell, and Herone seemed to be upgraded with more strength. Parrosope changed from a thin and small blade to a two meter long sword with a large blade. Herone swept her sword and froze the entire army in front of her; One more blow and they crumbled like fine gravel. Hendrich called down a great pillar of thunder, more powerful than the thunder Leila produced, and struck it right in the middle of the enemy's army. A huge power swept the enemy over a large area, causing them to burn black to cinders. At the same time, Hendrich's attack also creates an electrostatic field that makes the rest of the army unable to move for a while. Megara's lute sounds like invisible slashes that cut through everything in its path. Fanny brought Andrea into the center of the army. Andrea spins Tantorion in a circle, enveloping all the minions within range of the rope. He rotated faster and faster in a regular circle. Then he threw them into the air, when they landed in pieces, head in one place, arm in one place, and one foot in one place.
"Tyron, wanna help?", Reind said in a very excited tone. He believed he was strong enough to take another blow.
"Couldn't wait!" Tyron replied with a nod and expectant expression.
Saying that, Tyron created a shock wave to attack the undead in front of him, causing them to self-destruct from the inside. He then sent another wave into Reind's Pyrossid shield. He began to absorb and transform Tyron's mighty energy. Just like so many times, the first feeling Reind felt was full of strength, then reached the peak of stamina. The source of power in his body was growing stronger and stronger, and his body was about to succumb to its multiplication. He felt that this time he did not need to use the Mighty Dragon anymore. Reind dug it into the ground, his back slightly leaning forward, his legs spread apart to support his body. Reind mentally counted from one to three, waiting for the rest of the soldiers to focus on him. Time for him to unleash his power. Reind opened his mouth wide and let out a loud scream. His voice turned into a huge oscillating source. It destroys all the undead from within their bodies. Lapunta's entire last corps was decomposed into molecules. In the blink of an eye, on the battlefield of Glamgmar there were only decapitated corpses, body fragments, and the only survivors were their minority army.
Reind fell to his knees exhausted, everyone was exhausted. Lapunta is an old fox. Reind believes it was all Lapunta's plan. He knew for sure that the army of the undead wouldn't be able to stand against them, but it was enough for Reind's group to get tired and show off their skills and strength. And he still holds the advantage over them, without taking any damage! But what's more important right now is their military power.
“How much do we have left?” Reind asked wryly.
“Forty-six…” replied the Cartel, who had represented the soldiers since the beginning of the Resistance.
Everyone is mentally depressed. Departing with one hundred and fifty-one soldiers, not completing the mission, more than a hundred people died. He glanced at the only living people in front of him, their faces covered with stains, unconsciously in his heart as if he had been stabbed several times by a sharp knife.
“What are we going to do next, Reind?” asked the Cartel.
"We will…"
