Riverlands, The Twins
"Roar..."
As the war dragged on, the defensive situation for House Frey had become precarious. Yet, precisely at this moment, deafening roars suddenly erupted from the walls of the East Castle of The Twins.
Following the appearance of these sounds, green humanoid monsters surged onto the battlements like a tide. Their blood-red eyes were filled with slaughter and madness, leaving virtually nothing alive in their wake.
These monsters emitted a strange green glow from their bodies, resembling evil spirits crawled up from hell.
Simultaneously, various kinds of green monsters appeared in both the East and West Castles of The Twins at almost the exact same time.
Nearly everyone who had previously consumed Ganev's Potion had not escaped; they had all transformed into these hideous, disgusting monsters.
These monsters were muscular and immensely strong; ordinary soldiers could not withstand even a single exchange against them. Because of this, soldiers and residents killed or bitten by these monsters' claws were scattered almost everywhere in the area.
"Help!"
"Monsters!"
"Seven save me!"
The people inside the castle were terrified, crying out in despair. Although the soldiers held weapons, these arms offered them no sense of security against the terrifying monsters.
Those without weapons could only flee everywhere, trying to evade the terrible monsters, but unfortunately, in this enclosed environment, their actions were useless.
These monsters were like hunting hounds; no matter how people tried to escape, they could not shake off their pursuit.
Some desperate people, in the end, could only leap from high towers or the city walls, plunging directly into the surging Green Fork.
The House Frey soldiers stationed on the walls were completely helpless in the face of this sudden catastrophe.
It should be known that the ones leading them in defending the walls were basically members of House Frey, but just moments ago, after these Frey family members retreated, these terrifying monsters appeared.
Under the psychological pressure of being abandoned and the fear of the unknown entity, the soldiers remaining on the walls by House Frey were beaten into utter disarray by these monsters, unable to organize any effective resistance.
The allied soldiers who were assaulting the city were also stunned by this scene. They had expected to take The Twins easily, but they never anticipated encountering such terrifying enemies.
Facing these terrifying monsters that attacked friend and foe alike, almost all the advance troops fell into panic.
They did not know how to deal with this sudden disaster, only watching helplessly as the House Frey soldiers opposite them were devoured by these monsters.
"Hold steady!"
"Contract! Defend!"
Ramsay, who had been commanding the allied soldiers on the city wall, also saw the appearance of these monsters at the same time. Having witnessed so many bizarre and miraculous events, Ramsay had developed a certain immunity.
Following Ramsay's command, the allied soldiers on the wall stabilized. Under the shouts of the runners, shields were handed up from the rear by the allied soldiers.
Longswords and spears were quickly thrust out through the gaps in the shields. Before long, at the landing points of the siege ladders, circular formations resembling tortoise shells appeared one after another.
"Battering Ram! Prepare!"
"Mages! Prepare!"
Jon, who had been observing the battlefield using small animals, quickly noticed the situation here. After realizing that these strange monsters were somewhat similar to zombies, Jon quickly sent the battering ram and the mages forward.
The defenders were now completely in chaos, making it the critical moment to break through the gate using the battering ram. With the assistance of these monsters, the killing holes in the gate passage could not be utilized.
"Roar..."
Accompanied by dragon roars, the massive battering ram, dragged by five Drakons, appeared on the road outside The Twins.
The huge drawbridge at the East Gate of The Twins was immediately brought under control by the allied soldiers after the confusion among House Frey arose.
After the Drakons crossed the wooden drawbridge, two more massive crane-like contraptions were pushed forward; these were used to tow the battering ram.
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
As the sound of the massive battering ram striking the gate echoed, explosions erupted from the city walls. After being magically converted, the "Hellfire" spell appeared on the walls like pillars of fire.
"Hiss..."
The members of House Frey, having completely lost their sanity, continued to move forward despite encountering these terrifying attacks, as if the flames were not scorching their bodies.
The current members of House Frey were almost the same as zombies, or perhaps even more terrifying than zombies, because these ghastly things were contagious, just like the zombie virus on Blue Star.
This magical version of the zombie plague was even more terrifying. Anyone whose blood was contaminated by these green zombies would quickly turn into a weaker zombie, or rather, a moving corpse.
Fortunately, Jon had the existence of the Mage class. As long as they could be continuously supplied with spellbooks, they were like human-shaped self-propelled cannons, capable of unleashing countless magical damages easily.
Just as they were pressing hard on the city walls, cracks appeared in the gate below. Under the bombardment of that massive battering ram, the giant oak gate of House Frey was no better than paper. In just a few minutes, it was already starting to buckle.
"Boom... Crack..."
With the final blow, the massive gate bar jammed behind the main gate was directly destroyed by this terrifying strike.
"Roar..."
At Jon's signal, the Drakons quickly pulled back the massive battering ram, and the knights who had been waiting outside immediately charged toward the gate opening.
"Roar..."
Under Jon's direction, the first to enter were those huge Drakons. The passage was completely devoid of people, and even the defensive Cheval de frise and caltrops had not been set up.
"Charge!"
The knights, who had long been impatient, saw the Drakons rush into the castle and immediately spurred their warhorses to charge into the passage.
"Giddy up..."
Serving as the vanguard of this force was Ser Uther Shett from Gulltown. Under his leadership, the Riverlands Knights, like a torrent of steel, charged directly into the courtyard of the East Keep.
"Roar..."
When they entered the castle courtyard, what they saw were scenes of gore and horror. Under the ravages of the Drakons, the green zombies, which looked like little chicks in their eyes, were being crushed one after another.
The entire square was almost covered in that strange green blood and organs. If the Drakons had been able to enter the interior of the castle, these creatures would likely have suffered even greater losses.
"Continue to clean up these monsters!"
Although the scene before him was shocking, Uther Shett still ordered the knights beside him.
The knights who followed him as the vanguard into the castle had basically undergone class transformations under Jon; their strength, endurance, and speed were far superior to ordinary knights.
Under their charge, those green corpse monsters that had luckily escaped were completely wiped out. And just as the knights were clearing the monsters in the castle square,
Jon's troops also began to enter the castle in sequence. Under the orders of the heralds, these soldiers formed phalanxes and advanced step by step toward this eastern castle.
Jon was in the middle of this formation. Today, he was still wearing the same attire and equipment: black armor gleaming in the sunlight, with Dark Sister in his left hand and Blackfyre in his right.
When Jon reached the main gate of the Great Keep, cries for help came from inside. So, under Jon's signal, the Drakons quickly opened the gate of the Great Keep.
"Ah..."
"Help!"
"We're saved..."
...Amidst a series of tragic cries, countless figures rushed out from behind the gate, screaming and wailing as if a terrifying monster was behind them.
Most of these people were women, numbering around 20 or so. Upon seeing Jon and his men, these female members of House Frey, dressed in beautiful long gowns, paused for a moment.
"Roar..."
"Aaaah..."
"Run!"
...However, soon after, with terrifying roars coming from inside, these women all shrieked and rushed toward the soldier phalanx near Jon.
"Please save us! For the sake of the Seven!"
"There are monsters behind us!"
"Help..."
...Amidst the shrieks of these Frey women, an immensely large figure appeared just inside the gate.
"Hmm!?
Sensing the terrifying oppressive force emanating from the being, Jon seemed to understand something. He immediately activated his transformation mode, changing Dark Sister into Staff Mode.
"It's time to see my new spell!"
As the spellbook was equipped, an intensely bone-chilling aura began to spread around Jon, causing even the few Drakons to retreat a couple of steps.
"Winter's End!"
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
As Jon cast his spell, a terrifyingly cold air current directly manifested in the passage in front of him. Under the sweep of this terrifying power,
The three-meter-tall giant monster was instantly frozen into a massive ice sculpture. Under the effect of this A-rank Spell, this monster, which was several times larger than the green zombies outside, could not withstand a single exchange.
