Aetia was very unhappy with Kalann's indifferent attitude, and for hundreds of years, all the people around her had been like this, treating everything coldly and not caring about anything. She hated a neutral attitude, which she found unenteric.

However, she could not argue with Kalanen's assessment of the Supreme Council, which had indeed maintained the stability of the continent over the years. And the current chaos on the mainland is, in a sense, caused by their incompetence.

"General, you should probably come and have a look. The elven mage next to him, who was in charge of monitoring the magic device, interrupted the two of them on this pointless topic.

Aethia and Karan immediately followed the sound, and in an instant, their eyes fell on the magic device that the elven mage was watching, and the magic had already been activated, and the beating magic energy was fighting against the invasion of evil energy.

Kalann only glanced at the magical energy device, then calmly turned his head and picked up the lookout scope to observe the sky shrouded in evil energy in the north, looking for possible places where evil energy might gather.

To the north, in the direction of where Patinburgh is located.

In the cloudy sky, the evil energy visible to the naked eye is gathering, infecting the already dark sky as black as the middle of the night. From the place where Karane was at the moment, it was as if there was a giant in the universe stirring up the clouds, piercing the thick sky and throwing black and muddy things into the earth.

"Powerful evil energy is gathering, I think it was General Aliet who met the main army of the undead legion in front. Aetiyah didn't seem to be in a hurry, she calmly waited for the military news to come from the front.

Two or three minutes later, the aura of the magic receiver that had been set up flashed, and a note made of iron bark appeared, and Karan, who had been waiting beside him, grabbed the note in his hand and walked to Aetiyah while reading the code words on it.

"General Aliye reported that she was blocked by the undead army, and the specific deployment of the army is not yet clear. As soon as Kalann finished reporting, a flurry of subpoena notes began to appear on the receiver.

"General Aliet's headquarters is being held back by the undead legions, and the preliminary estimate is that there are at least 100,000 ghouls, thousands of guards, and dozens of war fortresses. ”

"General Gnolek sent a quick inquiry to reinforce the vanguard army!"

General Aliet asked if he would attack. ”

"Let Aliet take on it. Aetiya instinctively gave the order to attack, "Also, let General Gnolek prepare for battle, ready to respond to the vanguard army at any time." ”

Karan originally wanted to swallow the words of 'temporary retreat', but at this time, raising objections with the Supreme Commander would not only fail to achieve results, but would affect the battle ahead.

"I would like to warn General Ariel not to advance too aggressively, and at the same time remind General Gnolek to keep an eye on our flanks, and if I see a large number of undead troops charging at us, I would suggest that we retreat directly. ”

After a brief thought, Kalann added to the name of Aetia.

"It was decreed according to the command of the priest of Karane. Adhetia agreed without much thought.

Twenty miles away from the front,

Aliet's unit was in the middle of two high ground when it encountered the Undead Legion, and luckily the left flank was occupied by one of her Outpost Ranger troops.

The main force of the ghoul army, dressed in thick armor like a tide, charged her flank from the high ground on the right, and the thousands of iron guards and the huge war fortress in the col in front of her were also rapidly approaching, and the meat grinder on the war fortress was throwing carrion with the plague virus fast.

"Bang, bang, bang!" "Bang, bang!" the carrion exploded outside the Earth-Attribute shield held up by the Magic Guide, and the earth trembled slightly with a dull loud bang and a massive charge on the left.

"Encounters or... Ambush warfare?" Ariet thought quickly in her mind, waiting for the scouts sent out as soon as she encountered the Undead Legion to bring back more information.

"General Etiah ordered... Attack!" shouted the elven mage near the receiving table, holding a note with still residual magical energy.

"Attack?" Alia whispered, "which means that the command judged that this was an encounter and that the flanks were safe for the time being." He walked briskly over to her herald.

"Order the ministries to prepare... Strike!" Ariet shouted at her herald and flag bearer.

An elf with a longbow next to the flag bearer was ordered to quickly pull out one of the arrows in the quiver, draw the longbow and aim it at the sky and shoot it first. After the arrows pierced through the air and with an indescribable howl, the flag bearer began to wave the command, and the herald moved as fast as he could to the wings.

Suddenly, all the troops in the col and the high ground on both sides began to act, and the powerful elemental power of the "Boom" elven priests was launched first, and the elven troops in the col were directly in front of the thick earthen walls rising from the ground to block the way of the war fortress.

The roar of the war fortress and the screams of countless ghouls echoed through the col.

"Raise your shield, line up!" The commander of the elven unit facing the ghoul army on the right gave up his bow and arrows and used a shield and a large sword instead, and the elven troops faced the ghoul charge and chose to take the initiative to meet after completing the formation change.

(Elven broadswords differ from human swords in that they are composed of a nearly one-meter long handle and a half-meter curved blade, and only they call this weapon 'greatsword', humans call it 'elven spear', and orcs call it 'long axe'.) ）

In the screams of the undead ghouls and the silence of the elven rangers, the soldiers of both sides quickly collided.

The elven ranger at the front raised his shield at the same time with tacit understanding, and used a solid shield wall defense to resist the first powerful impact. The Elven Ranger would then use their broadsword to pierce the weak spot of the ghoul's armor and drag it with all their might, and in this powerful drag, the ghoul, who was normally not protected by chain mail, would have most of his chest cut off at once.

This kind of attack can only be done by elves, after all, this kind of drag is very physically demanding, but elves can magic, and only elves can popularize the circle to a most common individual combat weapon, because each of their soldiers will be able to build and use the basic circle.

"Arrow No. 1, prepare... Shoot!"

Between the close quarters in front, the elven rangers in the rear took out arrows and threw them at the orders of the officers. Similarly, in the army of ghouls on the opposite side, there are also many archers who throw bone arrows.

After this face-to-face contact, the combat strength of the two sides is not equal.

While the soldiers on the right side were fighting together, the necromancer riding in the middle of the war fortress had successfully broken through the earthen wall defense built by the elven priests. However, at this time, the elven army in front had already dispersed, and the arrows from the high ground on the left side rained down on the war fortress like a torrential rain amid the sound of high military orders, but most of the attacks were blocked by evil shields except for a few magic arrows.

"Arrow No. 2!" the Ranger Captain on the high ground on the left commanded loudly and waved the command flag in his hand.

The spells of the nearby priests and magicians were also ready to be completed at this time, and under the interference of elemental power and magical energy, the road in the heart of the originally flat mountain col suddenly changed the terrain at a speed visible to the naked eye, causing the war fortress to stop.

But when they stopped, the road beneath their feet began to roll over again.

However, the War Fortress didn't really turn on its side, as the necromancers sitting on it used their evil energy to interfere with the power of the elemental and magical energy on the ground.

"Whoosh" At this time, the sound of breaking the air came, and the arrows flashing with cyan streamers under the gloomy sky were gorgeous and wonderful, and when they fell, they pierced the sky and illuminated the whole land.

"Snatch, snatch, snatch!" The arrows pierced through the evil shield, and most of the ghouls carried on it dissipated in an instant, but the necromancers did not panic, they built a huge bone shield as fast as they could, and the seemingly fragile bone pieces crisscrossed together to successfully resist most of the arrows.

But the massive body of the fortress of war was drowned in the flowing light of the sky, and the screams of the miserable dead echoed through the col, and the stench of blood poured down like a waterfall, flooding the road in the heart of the col in the blink of an eye.

The roar of the "roar" echoed through the cols like ancient beasts, and the other war fortresses that followed followed trampled on the corpses of their comrades, and between the screams of countless souls, the undead archers attached to them bent their bows and arrows like ranger troops, and the same sky-high streamers rose from the undead army's military formation.

"It's a magic arrow!" the post commander's face changed, "with a composite defensive shield." ”

At the same time as the large magic shield device in the elven army array was activated, the thick earthen wall in front of it rose from the ground in the magic circle that the mage had already prepared.

"Take, take, take!" The deadly magic arrow first pierced through the earthen wall, partly bounced off by the magical shield, partly defended by the shield in the hands of the elven soldiers, and partly pierced through the soldier's body.

"Arrow No. 2... Ready..."

The elven rangers did not have time to rest at all, and the post commander immediately gave the order for a second salvo.

The rain of arrows in the sky and the magic arrows rose into the air again, and countless undead souls were shattered again.

"Ready..."

The second round of shooting had just ended, and the order for the third round of shooting came again ...

After three successive volleys, most of the fortress of war, which had shaken the earth, fell in a pool of blood, accompanied by countless decomposing corpses of the dead.

Three consecutive rounds of high-intensity magic arrow projectiles, the entire continent can only be done by the elven ranger troops, and its powerful lethality shattered the souls of dozens of huge war beasts in just less than ten seconds.

However, after three volleys, the Elven Ranger was unable to perform a similar shot for a short time.

But the advantage of the battle situation is firmly in their hands!

Yes, in this face-to-face encounter, whether it was the left flank Gao Slope or the other two elven ranger troops, they all instantly grasped the superior battle situation. Aliye, who was commanding the battle on the front line, was thrilled by this, and looking at the army of the undead that was constantly being eaten, she immediately ordered the ranger troops at the five outposts in her hand to press on all fronts.

Etia at the temporary command post was not happy about this small victory, she looked at the strange encounter ahead, and a question subconsciously appeared in her mind.

"If the Undead Legion has a follow-up force, why did they watch us encircle and annihilate those twenty armies in the Plains War?" Aetia voiced her question.

"Humanity's intelligence... Berdingburg really has another main force!"

"You know I'm not asking that. Aethia took a deep breath, "With the combat style of the Undead Legion, if they really have follow-up troops, they will definitely be on the front line as soon as possible, and... With the situation on the plain battlefield, if I were the commander of the Immortal Legion, I would also devote all my forces as soon as possible to defeat our resistance with absolute superiority. ”

"Perhaps humanity's intelligence is correct, and we should now follow the advice of the coalition forces to retreat. Kalann wanted to continue the persuasion that had not ended.

"I've been wondering about one thing before. Aetia pulled out a stack of documents written in human language from her spatial barrier, "Unless the information submitted to us by the Kingdom Military Intelligence Bureau is absolutely certain, with the habits of human nobles, most of them will be concealed and verified. ”

"Didn't you suspect this information before..."

Aetia didn't wait for Kalann to finish speaking, and then rushed to speak: "The 200,000 undead soldiers were beaten by us on the plains battlefield and almost had no ability to fight back, and the southern part of Berdingburg was also found by scouts to have no main force of the undead legion, and if you stood in my position, I would not give up this opportunity." ”

"So the Undead may have a million garrisons in Bertinburg, but they're watching while we're fighting on the Plains?" Aetia looked at Karan, "Do you think that's possible?"

"Maybe... Maybe it's infighting?" Karann said with an unconvinced tone, "The Undead Legion has always been fond of infighting, and sometimes even large-scale wars have broken out. ”

Aethia was stunned, and her tone was a little uncertain, "With the suppression of the 'Order of Chaos', no necromancer or general should dare to start an internal war in this kind of war period. ”

Kalann's speculation just now was just casual talk, but after saying it, he quickly thought about this possibility in his mind, and after Aetia denied his inference, he was silent for more than ten seconds and said after serious thinking:

"Maybe the Order of Chaos Ferrola is sleeping, after all, according to our literature, the Order of Chaos, which has just woken up, is in a state of sleep all year round... In our ancient mythology, several wars were won because of the internal division of the undead gods. ”

Aethia was stunned, and she still remembered the ancient myths that the elven elders were particularly fond of telling when she was a child, and later she found out that these ancient myths were actually recorded by official documents.
