Chapter 48. I don't want to run away anymore

"ah!"

Caroline turned around immediately when she saw the Dead Knight, and the results of her many days of running training finally showed up. She was no longer as stupid as she did when she fought with Cyril for the first time, and ran like a running rabbit.

But the speed of the Dead Knight is not comparable to that of the little Caroline? Those Dead Bone Horses just gently and skillfully stepped on their hooves, and in a blink of an eye it was about to catch up with the little girl who was running away from the front and was desperately escaping.

Alina was anxious to see the city wall. She was about to jump off the city wall, trying to help Caroline clear the siege. But the undead who were kicked away by the skeleton Abai had already climbed up the city wall. The sharp black iron sword flashed with a faint light and stabbed towards Alina's back.

She waved her sword with her backhand and pushed it away, trying to jump out of the difficult mouth of the city wall. But at this moment, the archer skeleton, who had been swung by her legs with a sword, and had half broken her body suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed her ankle firmly!

She was pulled back from the troubled mouth, and the rest of the skeletons rushed forward, trying to submerge her on the wall.

Alina waved her sword hard and kicked away the skeleton that was holding her. The girl's sarcasm below her ear made her anxious: "Cyril, help! Sister Mia, help! Alina, help! Help!"

The scene where the horse hooves were galloping, and the knight on the horse was running through the girl's back with a spear in his hand seemed to be about to jump into her mind. Alina angrily swung a frost-cold sword energy, lifting all the skeletons around her.

She then turned around and climbed up the city wall and looked down. She saw Caroline running to the city gate, but the Dead Knight had already rushed behind her, and her sharp spear had been raised high by her, and three or four were about to penetrate into her back at the same time!

The sound of the running horse hooves was like thunder, and Caroline's steps were crooked. At this moment, she finally couldn't hold on and fell forward.

Tears were already covered with tears on her face, and her small face was covered with tears. Caroline's face was buried in the snow. When the coldness and darkness arrived, she seemed to have predicted her death.

"Cyril, Cyril..."

A brief few seconds became so long at this moment. She closed her eyes tightly, and the darkness seemed to be able to show the cold wind, the bonfire in the jungle, and the grills set on the bonfire. He squatted in front of the grill, sprinkled seasonings while constantly flipping it...

"You close your eyes and count for five seconds, and then you can eat."

"One, two, three, four, five... I've counted it, can I eat it?"

She whimpered in the last voice, her clenched fist slowly relaxed, as if by chanting this name, she could calm down - Cyril will come to save me, and she will definitely come...

"Car-Ro-Lin-!"

“Quick—Run—!”

This voice is... Sister Alina?

Is Sister Alina also caught up with the Dead Knights?

She was puzzled in her heart. The consciousness that had just been immersed in the fantasy gradually recalled something. The bleak cold wind in the fantasy really existed, sweeping past her back. At the same time, a collision sounded...

Caroline suddenly didn't know where the strength came from. She supported her arms with force, raised her upper body, twisted her head, and a tall white figure in her sight was standing behind her. The three heads were turning back and forth, and the six arms were spread out like spider legs, locking the three spears stabbed by the Dead Knight between her arms!

"A Bai!"

She screamed in shock, but saw the soul fire among the three skulls jumping wildly, as if urging her to escape back to the city gate. And on the wall above her head, Sister Alina's shouts came again.

She stood up biting her lip, her legs were weak and painful, but she still stood up firmly, then moved her legs and ran into the city gate!

The moment she saw the girl disappearing from sight, Alina immediately kicked away the undead who was gathering around her, and then pulled the winch hard. This time, it was to close the city gate!

Caroline ran into the city gate and fell to the ground. She had not been able to rest and eat and drink well for several days. Her remaining physical strength was completely drained. But she turned her head hard and looked behind her, only seeing the slowly closed city gate and Abai's body, which was rushing back and forth by the galloping bone horse in the gap of the light.

Her pupils suddenly contracted.

The tall body was as solid as a city wall the moment before, but now it was as fragile as a piece of cotton.

Within the few seconds when the city gate was closed, the arms she had spliced ​​with her own hands were broken one by one. The encircled Dead Knight made it kneel to the ground with just one round of impact.

"Abai, Abai!" She shouted loudly, only to see the skeleton Abai's body leaning back. The three skulls were still rotating disobediently, as if they wanted to look back at their masters. But under another impact from the Dead Knight, the riding spear penetrated directly through its sternum. Then the undead bone horse Yaowu stepped onto the white jade-like bone body. A skull was raised high by the riding spear and flew in the air--

She suddenly couldn't scream.

The skull that was rotating and flying high, the soul fire in it was completely extinguished.

The city gate is closed.

The little girl was lying on the muddy ground, her body twisting. She stretched her hand forward, but she could no longer touch the skeleton Abai who took the initiative to carry her on her shoulders and asked her to touch her head happily.

Her short silver-white hair was wet on her forehead with snow and sweat. She lay on her back weakly, her brown eyes staring at the dark arch above her head with a senseless look, and her cat-like almond eyes were closed tiredly.

The sound of fighting above her head was still coming, and it was Sister Alina who was still fighting hard for her. At the same time, Cyril, who was unable to come to save her, must have been entangled with something annoying, so she couldn't hear her shouting, right?

A Bai, A Bai should just lie down and rest for a while. As long as she runs outside and puts its head and arms back, she should be able to stand up again, right?

But why is the city gate behind you still being hit? It's so noisy, like Cran's snoring, several meters away, you can hear it in the carriage-

"Caroline, Caroline!"

Sister Alina was calling again in her ears...

The scene in front of her was turned, and she was picked up by her hands, her knees were bent and her chin was placed beside her clumps of chaotic and golden hair.

"Sit down and we run into the city, the skeletons are leaning over, and the Dead Knights will also rush in!"

The surrounding buildings began to move, and her body also bumped up and down. The hands that held her could still be held properly at first, but then a white skeleton leaned over, and then her body was loosened, with blue arcs appearing in front of her eyes.

Gorgeous, dazzling like the soul fire jumping in Ah Bai's head—

Why, why am I always protected?

The skeleton fell down again, but more came out, and she seemed to hear many skeletons approaching further away, coming from the plain outside and passing through the city gate to the north.

"Plop!"

She suddenly leaned forward - no, Alina, who was carrying her back, fell forward. She rolled onto the ground and happened to see Alina, who was covering one leg, supporting her body with one hand, still waving her sword.

But behind them, the undead knights riding horses were coming. They were like black whirlwinds that were about to roll over their bodies...

"Caroline, escape quickly, escape to that big skull, escape quickly..."

Alina shouted hoarsely, those voices wanted to penetrate Caroline's brain, but at this moment every heart-wrenching pronunciation seemed so hazy.

She tilted her head to the side, and at some point they had returned to the pile of bones, where they first escaped. Her big head, which took several days to finish, was still lying tilted on the pile of bones.

She slowly turned around again, looking at Alina lying on the ground, her mouth slightly opened and closed. In her lost eyes, she seemed to see a huge figure in a trance, slowly standing up from in front of her-

"Hello."

"Are you watching her be killed by a skeleton?"

"Do you know what consequences will be for her? If the Lich appreciates her body, maybe she can still become a Lich guard, but if no one finds her, she will slowly rot and be eaten by zombies, and then become a useless little skeleton."

"She would move forward in the snow in a confused way, then be twisted off her head by a stronger skeleton, or be human - listen, when she ended her skeleton's second life, perhaps her jaws were still closing."

"She is calling you, although she can't say a word, but she is still saying, Caroline, run away quickly, run away-"

Caroline suddenly woke up. She looked around in horror, but found that there were white bones everywhere, and strange things were filled with them - in front was a white bone with black inside, on the side was a fang, and on the right was a... crown?

What is this place? And that sound, how come it makes people feel so tickling in their hearts, like Cyril tied himself up, only letting himself smell the fragrance of meat, but not letting himself eat...

No, no, no, now is not the time to think about this. Where is this? Where is Sister Alina? And this voice, who is it?

"Do you want to know your fate? Let me tell you that you are still discovered by the dead when you fled into the pile of bones, tortured, taken to the coldest abyss, lost your mind in despair and hatred, and turned into a nightmare of death. Your companion, everyone around you will be killed by you, this is your fate-"

The sound rang again, and this time Caroline heard clearly where it came from - from the top of her head.

She raised her head and looked at the top of her head, where there were crossed iron chains, locking a concave and convex body tightly in it. The black mist was shrouded in black, and she couldn't see the face of the body, but just looking at the bulging chest bound by the iron chain and the more enchanting legs wrapped around, Caroline's face turned red inexplicably.

But she quickly reacted and shouted at the top of her head: "I don't want it, I don't want it, so I don't hurt them! I won't hurt them!"

"You can't help it, because you-" The voice dragged long and suddenly increased the volume, and it rang in her ears like a thunder: "You are too weak, you are just a hare, you can only be chased, tied to the grill, you have no strength, you can only be slaughtered..."

He seemed not to give Caroline any more time to think, and the loud voice penetrated her ears word by word, and even if she resisted, she could not resist: "Do you want to continue escaping? Do you want to watch her die? Do you want to fall into that tragic future?"

She retreated in fear and fell into the pile of bones behind her, but the sound was everywhere, and in the end she was the magic sound of "Do you think, do you think, do you think, do you think, do you think, do you think--" surrounded the air. She suddenly covered her ears, rubbed her silver-white short hair, and screamed:

"I don't want it! I don't want it!"

The sound suddenly disappeared.

A gentle sigh rang out of the air:

"Then, I'll give you a chance to try-"

———————

The girl lying on the ground was gasping for powerlessness. Her fatigue had already made her feel throbbing all over. She wanted to crawl forward with her arms, but the inexplicable retching made her curl up.

She seemed to have tried her best to give a lot, but in the end she did nothing and nothing changed-

Lord Lord, Cyril Adrien, I'm sorry, I failed to protect her, nor did I protect myself...

But in the end, at least let Caroline stay away from those skeletons...

She stretched out her hand and wanted to push the girl who was standing there for some reason down into the pile of bones, letting the bones bury her and cover her body.

But at this moment, the girl who had been still for a long time, her drooping fingertips suddenly trembled slightly.

"Sister Alina."

The familiar Caroline's voice sounded in his ears, as pleasant as ever, reminding people of the thawing spring water, which was ding-dong and flowing.

But Alina felt that the voice was a little different from Caroline in the past.

"Sister Alina--" Caroline repeated, then squatted down and fell on the little face that was originally extremely delicate but was now embarrassed.

"I don't want to run away anymore."

Alina looked at Caroline in surprise and stood up. In her originally pure eyes, the brown color was fading away little by little, replaced by red - agate-like red, with flames flowing, with blazing singing, the blooming sun, the hot blood, the noisy colors merged together, shining with strange light.

"Yes, I don't want to run away anymore."

She repeated it again, then looked straight ahead - where the Necromancer was lifting his spear and charging towards them.

Behind them, the undead who returned from the North City Gate was approaching quickly in the direction where they were.

But Caroline seemed not to see all this, she just raised her hand, and the white jade-like bone fork staff appeared on her hand.

And the moment she raised her hand, a dark blue fire lit up from the huge skull on her side. It flipped naturally, making its eye sockets face to the front, and then the white bones piled up below were quickly spliced ​​together, forming an extremely huge bone half-body in a blink of an eye.

Outside the north gate of Burns, the war horse under Claude Atley jumped in horror and actually lifted its owner down. But Atley had no time to teach the sudden crazy beast.

He and the two thousand soldiers who came here together behind him stared at the simple stronghold ahead.

The skeleton's body was so huge that it exceeded the two pieces of the city wall.

And the snow and smoke that slammed down, which shocked the sky.
