General!"

"General!"

In the bloody battle, Buck seemed to hear someone calling him, and when he subconsciously raised his shield to resist the ghoul attack and turned his head, he saw a bloodstained face.

"General, there are Iron Guards in the Immortal Legion!"

The banner swaying behind the scout attracted Buck's attention, and the words he shouted with all his might made Buck's face change, and when he subconsciously wanted to ask for details, the battlefield scout who had completed his mission rolled his eyes and fell to the ground with his breathless, his body burning internally and turning into ashes at a rapid speed.

"You guys stay here!" Buck whispered to his three remaining guards, leaving the battlefield he had been fighting for more than an hour, and ascending to the nearest watchtower as fast as he could.

Illuminated by the flames that flickered around the battlefield, Buck saw a row of humanoids with huge bodies that looked like Iron Knights, slowly moving forward with powerful steps.

"It's the Iron Guard!" Buck whispered through gritted teeth, his bloodshot eyes narrowed into slits, and a suffocating sensation in his lungs made him gulp in the disgusting air of the battlefield.

"Inform the first detachment to act as originally planned, and the rest of the troops will evacuate the Wooden Wall Fortress within ten minutes!"

After giving an order to the last two heralds beside him, Buck picked up the sentry's bow and arrow and fired three arrows in succession, leaving the guard tower without looking back.

Half an hour later,

The entire Wooden Wall Fortress was occupied by the Undead Legion, and Buck led the remaining soldiers back to a makeshift camp that had been prepared in advance.

Under the silent night sky, Buck stood on the watchtower at the gate of the camp, holding a lookout glass and observing the soldiers behind the broken wooden fortress in front of him as they were wiped out by the army of ghouls.

In the camp below, officers were directing the weary soldiers to set up the defensive line.

"Boom!"

The violent explosion made the busy soldiers in the camp subconsciously turn their heads and look at the place where they had fought bloodily just now. The fiery red light from the explosion loomed on their numb faces, revealing fear of the unknown in their sparkling eyes.

The chaotic camp seemed extremely silent at this moment, making the roar of the sky's explosion extremely abrupt at this moment.

Buck felt the vibration from the soles of his feet, slowly put down the lookout goggles in his hand, stretched out his palm and wiped the coagulated black blood on his face, a pair of shining eyes in the dim night stared at the dazzling brilliance of the night in the direction of the explosion.

The place of the explosion was in the direction of the wooden fortress, and the boundless darkness of the sky was covered by a huge fire at this moment, illuminating the originally gray earth.

"Light has finally come to the earth!"

An emotional voice rang in Barker's ears.

"But the darkness is still there!" Buck gathered his mood and shouted, "hurry up and check the weapons and equipment, there is an even more difficult war waiting for us." ”

Buck was right when he said that the fight didn't end there.

A low roar soon overshadowed the shock of the explosion, and the light on the horizon was followed by endless darkness again, costing an entire detachment and consuming nearly half of the goblin explosives, in exchange for a brief pause for the undead legion.

Twenty minutes later,

The bustling 'illumination' slowly rose into the air, once again breaking through the darkness ahead, reflecting the armoured army of ghouls and the countless infected mixed in with the ghoul army.

"Steady, don't panic!" Buck shouted as he walked in front of the array of soldiers, "There are two more hours left, just hold on for another two hours and it will be dawn... Our reinforcements will arrive after daybreak. ”

The low morale was not improved by Buck's words, because the huge military formation opposite in the dim light was much more intuitive than Buck's pale encouragement.

The ghouls marched much quieter than the average ghouls, their neat steps in line with the soldiers of the Kingdom's regular legions, and the ground that had just calmed down once again trembled as they advanced with their vast army.

Watching the huge army of ghouls slowly approach, even Buck couldn't help but feel fear in his heart, "Don't be afraid, steady!" Buck roared with all the power accumulated in his chest, trying to drive away the fear that was attached to his body.

Heavy breathing echoed as Buck's roar continued, and the soldiers in the improvised fortifications were more terrified than Buck. Many tried to escape, but looking at Buck in front of them, the thought of running away was suppressed again.

The vast army of ghouls was getting closer, and soon the soldiers in the camp could see the disgusting and hideous faces of the enemy without the need for 'illumination'.

"Whoosh... Whoosh..."

The imaginary sudden charge did not come, and the first to attack was the skeleton archers behind the ghoul army, and the bone arrows in the sky suddenly rose into the air, and then fell sharply on the heads of the camp soldiers.

"Raise your shield to defend!"

"Look for cover!"

Instead of snatching the few shields with the soldiers, Buck unfolded the carved defensive runes on his body and stood at the front of the line.

"Ding Ding Ding"

The dense bone arrows were nailed to the magical defensive shield that opened around Buck's body, and they were quickly bounced away.

There was no respite, and the second round of covering attacks continued immediately after the first wave...

And then the third round, the fourth round...

Under the continuous rain of arrows, the remaining morale of the soldiers was shattered, and some even gave up their defenses and opened their minds to ignite the spontaneous combustion magic on their bodies.

Buck watched all this with an indifferent gaze, he didn't stop them, he didn't say any words of encouragement, he gritted his teeth and looked at the silent clearing on the side with a determined gaze.

The huge army of ghouls was getting closer and closer under the cover of the rain of arrows, Buck spat out, his eyes narrowed in the air waves set off by the advance of the legion, he wiped the steel knife in his hand on his trouser legs, grabbed a handful of rotten dirt on the ground and rubbed his sweat-soaked palms vigorously, and then held the handle of the knife tightly, looking coldly at the army of ghouls getting closer and closer.

"Boom... Boom..."

The only remaining war drum in the camp was beaten, and Buck heard the dull sound of the war drum, and instinctively turned on the magic runes drawn on his body, and the soldiers around him began to shout at the top of their voices to dispel the fear in their hearts.

"Boom"

When Buck's scimitar cut through the ghoul's rusty armor, a thunderous vibration suddenly exploded.

"Ahh

In the bloody battle, Buck felt the stinging pain in his eardrums caused by the roar, opened his mouth wide and roared, and the blood in his whole body swelled while the magic runes on his arms and scimitar flashed with dazzling blood-red light, and the murderous intent poured out on his hideous face, slashing through the chest cavity of the ghoul in front of him with all his strength, crushing the ghoul who wanted to attach like a maggot.

Buck didn't look at the shattered corpse, and he didn't pay attention to the stench that suddenly intensified, he opened his mouth and laughed wildly, revealing his unusually white teeth in the dim light, and shouted highly, "It's our reinforcements!"

"Boom"

"Boom"

As if in response to Barker's shouts, the palpitating vibrating sound of the endless darkness intensified, and someone could be heard chanting 'His Majesty King Peddy Reagan'. At the same time, a platoon of 'illuminations' quickly rose into the air on the flanks of the camp after Buck shouted, illuminating the array of heavy cavalry charging like real waves rolling on the high slopes of the flanks.

"Heavy cavalry!"

"What reinforcements!"

The incomparably clear picture convinced the soldiers of the fact that reinforcements had arrived, making them shout excitedly.

In an instant, the heat wave of the heavy cavalry charge swept in, impacting the gloomy aura emitted by the ghoul legion, making the morale of the officers and soldiers in the camp who had fallen to the bottom suddenly rise at this moment.

In the face of the surprise attack of the heavy cavalry, the ghoul legion reacted immediately, and the huge army formation advancing behind it quickly changed formation, while the flank skeleton archers retreated at great speed in the narrow passage left by the ghoul legion, and the armored ghoul quickly assembled on the flanks with a thick wooden shield that was taller than himself, and quickly built a defensive shield wall.

Rows of 'illuminations' exploded in the dark sky, tearing through the darkness's blockade of the land, and the undead legion's changed dense defensive formation was unreservedly revealed, the rows of spears shimmering in the blinding light with a cold, chilling glow.

However, the heavy cavalry did not stop their charge, the boundless thunderous tremors continued, the sky was full of ironclad coaxing, the continuous land was full of violent tremors from their roar, and large areas around them were tumbling with heat waves because of their charge.

Just before the two armies met in a short battle, layers of golden halo appeared in the heavy cavalry formation that rolled like a huge wave. Nearly twenty paladins in the corps activated the holy power inscriptions drawn on the heavy armor of the cavalry, and the rich divine power provided a holy power protection for the charging army, and bounced away all the bone arrows that fell from the left and right.

"Poof... Puff..."

The sound of flesh being pierced rang out chaotically after the two armies intersected, and groups of Kru led the horses to rush into everything frantically under the control of their masters, and countless ghouls were pierced through their bodies by the knight's spear, and then trampled by the iron hooves of the war horses.

Buck, who was fighting on the defense line of the rudimentary camp, could not see the specific situation of the current battlefield because his vision was blocked, and the excited faces of the sentries on the nearby sentry towers and the chaotic shouts from their mouths made him eager to know the battle situation ahead.

A few minutes later,

Buck appears on the watchtower, but the battlefield that comes to his mind is not what he imagined.

"The undead are retreating?"

"Yes, General, they're retreating!" the sentry was excited, a kind of excitement for the rest of his life.

But Buck didn't have any happy look on his face, he frowned and whispered, "It's really not that simple..."

The armoured Ghoul Legion is not comparable to the cannonfodder Ghoul Legion, they are a regular legion of the Undead Legion. Leaving this legion behind would mean a lot to the 'Adiri Line', but Buck didn't expect the other side to retreat so simply.

"Forget it, don't think about it. Buck glanced up at the rising morning glow in the sky and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Today, Buck did not fall asleep after the battle, as he did yesterday, but waited at the humble camp gate for the triumph of the Heavy Cavalry Corps, or rather, he waited for the triumph of the Wren Knights.

However, Buck was waiting for not only Wren, but also the commander of the elven fleet, General Nemero, and the battle report in charge of the earthen wall defense line. As Buck had expected, whether it was the plain defense stronghold on the right or the earthen wall defense line, the undead legion's armies chose to retreat at the same time.

"They didn't have to retreat so quickly!"

Next to the improvised mound of dirt in the middle of the camp, Nemeiro pointed to the undead legion station in front of the 'Adiri Line' on the map and frowned, and said: "Retreat so fast, even give up the offensive that is obviously superior on the left and right fronts..." His turquoise eyes were full of worry, and a faint wry smile appeared on his always indifferent face, he looked at Buck and asked, "What do you think... Why are they doing this?"

"There's only one reason why they're choosing that. Buck took a deep breath, looked at the Wren knight next to him and whispered, "Next attack, they have absolute confidence that they can break our defense!"

Wren nodded slightly, "Yes, the commander on the other side must have thought that the capture of the 'Adiri Line' was a foregone conclusion for him, so there was no need to lose more troops?"

"In fact... If reinforcements from the Mage Tower and the Misha Kingdom don't arrive before dark today, the 'Adiri Line' will indeed face a dilemma. Buck kept his voice low to prevent nearby soldiers from hearing it.

Nemero frowned slightly at Buck's words, while Wren was surprised and visibly surprised. However, both remained silent and did not say anything about it.

Seeing that the two were silent, Buck couldn't help but feel a little irritable in his heart, his expression became more indifferent than just now, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be much more in an instant, and after a few seconds of silence, he stared at Wren and asked, "What did Sir Bowenright say when he asked you to come to support us?"

Wren met Barker's bloodshot eyes and replied almost subconsciously, "He just said that everything is at your command." ”

"That's it?" Buck's brown pupils dilated rapidly, and disbelief flashed across his face.

In Barker's subconscious thoughts, Bowenwright asked Knight Wren to lead the Heavy Cavalry Corps to support him, which must be a deeper idea, because neither Knight Wren himself nor the Heavy Cavalry Corps are extraordinary.

"I'm sure that's all the old sir said. Wren had a serious look on his face, and he didn't like Buck's questioning of him.

Buck heard Wren's words and walked silently to the huge wooden barrel filled with water nearby, and his adjutant, Captain Merlot, immediately stepped forward to fetch a bucket of water and poured it on his bloodstained body, "Whew..."

"General, are you injured?" Captain Merlot exclaimed as he looked at the two wounds on Buck's chest after the blood cleared.
