It was still a peaceful night, and when the next morning arrived, the Regnaws packed their bags again and prepared to go.

"So......" Regner asked Rebecca as he walked, "you mean Nidhogg was in the woods of the Stoke Imperial Academy of Magic, and even the circle that inspires the tide of death is there?"

"Yes, that's the home ground he's been running for a long time, and if he leaves there, he can't even resist the constant punishment of the Origin Rules. Rebecca replied, deliberately amplifying her voice so that everyone could understand what was going on. This also proves that Rebecca genuinely wanted to help Regner assassinate Nidhogg.

It's just that Rebecca added in a low voice after speaking: "You should understand what I mean, he can almost be said to be imprisoned in the magic academy now, if you want to kill him, you may not have no chance in the future, but this time, once you pass, you will be in the middle of it." One last time I beg you, don't go there, okay?"

Regner was silent for a moment before replying, "Rebecca......"

"Huh?"

"I am very grateful for your help and care for me all the time, but I will not waver in this matter. Regner said seriously: "I might as well tell you directly, in fact, I sometimes feel that Niedhogg really wants me to meet him, and I don't know what Nidhogg is up to. But even if this was Nidhogg's plan, I had to do what he did. Because this is the only way to get Anne out of these rights and wrongs. I'm not going to change that, I hope you understand. ”

"I already knew that. Rebecca stroked her black hair and sighed, "We're all like this, aren't we?" knowing that the outcome won't change at all, but still making a pointless effort. ”

"My efforts are not necessarily meaningless. Regner reminded.

"When you actually face Nidhogg, you can understand how naïve your so-called assassination is. No matter how weak he is at this time, he still has the absolute power to crush you. Rebecca thought silently in her mind that she hadn't told Regner these words, because it would do nothing but demoralize Regner's others.

And just as Regner and his party rushed to the thousand-year-old capital non-stop, the final battle related to the fate of the entire continent was about to begin. Under Alexander's command, the humans formed a massive defensive line in the eastern part of the continent in an attempt to resist the spread of the tide of death. This can be said to be the last resistance force squeezed out by the human race, if even they are breached, then the continent of Chino will be completely reduced to a world of death.

Compared with the huge army formed by humans in the eastern part of the continent, the human army that defends against the tide of death in the west can really be called weak. Except for the most elite Golden Eagle Knights on the mainland, the rest of the warriors guarding the Costa Fortress can be said to be rookies. Some of them were prisoners under the control of the Imperial Curse, some were civil defense groups formed by refugees from the South, and some were old peasants who had been temporarily recruited by the Empire. They have not been trained in orthodoxy, nor have they been tested by blood and fire. But every warrior standing in the fortress of Costa understands that the fortress under their feet must not be missed.

These people were not forcibly mobilized to guard the Costa Fortress. Each of them went here voluntarily. In order to recruit this group of warriors, Alexander issued a conscription order throughout the Imperial Legion, in which Alexander frankly admitted the difficulty and danger of defending the Costa Fortress. He even went so far as to remind him that in the calculations of the General Staff, the death rate of the defenders defending the Costa Fortress would be infinitely close to 100%.

But even so, many warriors came to enlist, and some brigades and even entire groups of men and horses asked to follow Alexander.

In the end, Alexander selected more than 15,000 men to defend the Costa Fortress with his Golden Eagle Knights. And now, they are finally about to officially come into contact with the vast and boundless sea of corpses.

Alexander stood silently on the tower, his hearing was sharper than the others, as a high-ranking warrior. By this time, he had heard the voices, the giggling footsteps of the Deathbringers. The second prince raised his head, he had already seen the scattered undead vanguard at the peak of the valley. Even if they climbed to the top of the valley, the undead would not be able to pass through the Costa Canyon as they wished. Because Alexander also had a small army on both sides of the valley, they would deal with the fish that slipped through the net.

These are really just appetizers, because the real battlefield is directly below the canyon.

Learn about Suosuo......

The never-ending footsteps of the army of the undead grew louder and louder. All the warriors of the Costa Fortress nervously clenched their weapons. Even if they were ready to sacrifice for a long time, when death was really imminent, even Alexander did not have the courage to face him calmly.

The sea of corpses had appeared in front of everyone, moving silently, and there was no sound in the entire canyon except for the sound of their footsteps.

And that's the most frightening part of fighting the undead, a bunch of emotionless things that don't know what fear is. They will always kill in silence, without pain or screaming. In the face of such an enemy, even a seasoned veteran would despair because of their utter ruthlessness.

Alexander took a deep breath, even though he had fought the undead so many times, his scalp tingled every time he experienced the silence before this bloody slaughter. And Alexander, who pushes himself and others, as the supreme commander, can naturally understand what kind of psychological state every soldier facing the sea of corpses is at this time.

"All the brave warriors who stood on the Costa Fortress. With his vindictiveness, Alexander channeled his voice to every corner of the Costa Fortress: "I am Alexander. ”

"Your Highness!" shouted several warriors who had not yet been conquered by fear.

"Yes, Your Highness. You've always called me that. Alexander continued: "But today, I prefer to stand here as an imperial soldier than His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Empire. ”

"Because I think the former is a title that I am honored and proud of. Alexander looked at the soldiers on the fortress and said, "Maybe you think it's strange?"

There was a silence on the fortress.

The second prince continued: "But I am not surprised by this. Think about it! Who stood up to the invasion of the southerners! Who stood in the far north under the threat of the barbarians! And who formed the last solid barrier for humanity under the fear of the tide of death! It was the warrior, every warrior of the empire!"

"It is precisely because of this that I have a deep respect for every warrior who has the courage to stand here, and it is because of this that I am proud to consider myself an Imperial soldier. Because every one of us ......," exclaimed Alexander with all his might, "all good!"

"Now, the Empire is facing an unprecedented catastrophe, in which countless warriors have lost their lives. But we, the soldiers who are still alive, still have to stand here, at the forefront of the disaster. Why?" Alexander said: "Because we are warriors! The duty of a warrior is to defend our homeland! When our homeland is threatened, we must stand up, and this is our duty! As long as we live, then our homeland must not be destroyed! Because this is the purpose of our existence!"

The sea of corpses was approaching, and some of the walking corpses were even within range of the archers. But without Alexander's orders, not a single warrior acted rashly.

Alexander went on to say, "I don't want to lie, but many of you know that. In this defensive war, our hope of victory is very slim, and even the vast majority of us will die in this war. But this is our duty, this is our destiny, this is the highest glory of being a warrior! We cannot retreat! Because behind us is what we have to protect, our homeland! This is our wife, children, and parents! Brothers, do you remember the famous words of the Manhattan general?"

Alexander paused, then suddenly shouted loudly: "Heaven to the left!"

"Warriors !! to the right"

"Heaven to the left!"

"Warriors !! to the right"

"Heaven !! to the Left"

"Warriors !!! to the right"

"For the !! of the Empire"

"For the !! of the Empire"

"For the !! Home"

"For the !! Home"
