"But what if the initial target of the Undead Legion is us?" Morinda retorted sharply, "The Staff Office has calculated that Udi Cooper has at least 100,000 undead monsters in his hands this time, and how many difficult unknown monsters are there among them?

"I've looked at Udi Cooper's file and he's not that smart. Cowlier shook his head, confident in his words.

"Maybe... But don't you think the current situation seems similar?" Morinda looked around, "What did Sir Marne do to fight the coalition of nobles led by Udi Cooper during the civil war between Herion and the kingdom?"

"You're saying that Udi Cooper is luring us into attacking his flank, and then flanking us from both flanks?" Cowlier shrugged, "Maybe it's possible... But I feel like you're thinking too much. The old mage's retort was subconscious, and then he added, "However, you are right, we must be cautious about this war. ”

"You—" Morinda was just about to say the other reasons, only to realize that Cowlier's words just now were in agreement with him, and then the conversation changed: "I just need to be cautious in the details, but I can be as bold as possible." ”

"En!" Pei Di had already made a decision, and now that he had heard enough of the advice, he directly ordered: "Order, all the troops will assemble near the Jinshui Forest and wait for the next order." ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the 26th,

Outside the village of Sesca in the northwest of Herion's territory, Hanina's team of paladins arrived at their destination after an eight-hour journey.

The road was very smooth, and Hannina, who had been preparing for a few fierce battles on the road, seemed to have smashed into the water with a heavy punch, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable and glad at the same time, but at the same time made her vigilant, because it was so smooth that anyone would subconsciously wonder if it would be a trap.

Therefore, when the troops arrived at the village of Seska, Hannina did not immediately attack the village, but sent a small team of knights to conduct a detailed reconnaissance around to make sure that there were no traps. At the same time, he also sent the Blood Eagle to inquire about the movements of the main force of the Undead Legion.

It's been a long time to wait...

Three hours later, Hannina's aide-de-camp, a tall female elf ranger, couldn't help but ask, "If we wait until night, the evil energy emitted by the altar in the village can make us invisible to anything. ”

"I have to take responsibility for this operation. But Hanina did not listen to the adjutant.

It wasn't until half past six in the afternoon, when there was only the last glimmer of light left in the sky, that the news came back from the command. It was a letter of order, and an order written by Pedi himself, ordering Hanna to attack immediately, and telling Hanna to make her own decisions if necessary.

The battle soon began,

Baron Hanina charged at the forefront with a war hammer and a giant shield, and her holy power was not as domineering as that of other paladins, as she mainly explored the defensive power and blessed power of the holy power.

With her blessing, the protection of the entire paladin squad was doubled, allowing the paladin's charge to ignore the undead legion's long-range strikes in Sesca Village.

Because, the undead legion's guard tower defense at the forefront was uprooted in just ten minutes, of course, part of the credit is due to the goblin explosives and the latest magic equipment, and the suppression of evil energy by the holy power of the paladin cannot be ignored.

Before seven o'clock, the team managed to break through the defenses and reach the heart of the altar.

The altar has a strange shape, like a strange giant tree branch growing from the darkest part of the earth!

The main trunk of the giant tree is twice the size of a normal tower, and its extended branches cling to the ruins of the surrounding villages like invisible strange hands. The ground they covered was pitch black, and it seemed to flow with some eerie sheen, making the living creepy and subconsciously stopping.

"This can't be called an altar, can it?" Hanina lamented that the plan was going well, but she was even more surprised by the shape of the altar.

"The altar is not a fixed style, as long as the steps of the sacrifice and the pattern are correct. The elven lieutenant was not surprised, he looked at the altar in front of him, "Obviously, the necromancer who built him likes this style. ”

"What are we supposed to do... I mean, how to break it, well... Or do you need to do some preparation?"

"Why prepare?"

"Destroying it doesn't make some kind of unknown monster pop up out of nowhere, does it?" Hannina looked at the darkening sky, the cool breeze between the gaps in her visor making her feel uncomfortable.

"Probably not... It's better not to attack with energy, well... Goblins make good bombs!"

"Goblin bombs?"

The elven lieutenant nodded, "As of now, we haven't found any elemental energy in the bombs developed by the goblins. ”

"I'm coming!" a middle-aged paladin next to him took off his helmet on his head, and the indissipate stench around him made him frown as he snatched the explosives box in one of the knights' arms.

"Whew!" The fuse sparked and the explosives were thrown.

"Throw more!" shouted someone around him.

"That's enough!" Hannina's eyelids jumped, "Do you want to blow yourself up?" her roar calmed the restless hearts of the warriors around her.

"Boom!" the firelight scattered under the night sky with a loud bang.

"Bang bang!" The broken wood chips fell everywhere, and even the elf lieutenant next to him couldn't help but tease, "Is it really wood?"

"Is that the end of it?" Hannina couldn't believe because it was too easy.

It has taken less than half an hour since the attack, and the enemies encountered are only the most conventional skeleton creeps with bone spears.

"It should be!" the elven lieutenant was also unexpectedly going well, and the natural power in her body began to slowly gather, "The evil energy is slowly passing away." Her face was full of surprise, "Let the paladin use the holy power to dispel the evil energy here, and let the light return to this area!"

"Is it really over?" repeated Hanina, still unconvinced, as her eyes watched the fog that had dissipated from the aftermath of the explosion, and watched the last rays of light fall back on the ground.

"The goddess is above, all the known gods are above, and I see hell?"

An exclamation interrupted Hanina's feelings, and her muscles tensed all over her body, and her eyes quickly scanned left and right... But the imagined danger did not come.

"This is a battle between the living and the private, without any compromise!" said the elven lieutenant's voice with a slight tremor in his voice.

Hannina went smoothly and her adjutant looked at... Suddenly, her eyes, which had been habitually squinting, widened, and the wrinkles around the corners of her eyes stretched out and gathered in an instant.

Under the reflection of the explosion and fire, the originally dark place after the collapse of the altar was now clearly visible.

There, everyone felt some flowing luster, and it turned out to be all blood, all blood... It was a lot of blood, and it was a huge man-made pit, and it was full of blood. The branches of the giant tree were originally in the entire deep pit, and the branches that had been blown out and were now scattered were covered with bloody corpses.

Around the pit, all sorts of torture instruments, familiar and unfamiliar, were covered with corpses that had been tortured to the core.

"In the elven literature, necromancers would torture every living person they caught, torturing their spirits and making their memory souls more negative. The elven lieutenant's words revealed that she was still very young, "It is rumored that the evil gods like memory souls with extremely negative emotions the most!"

When night fell again, Pedi and his ministers, after gathering at dinner to discuss the problems encountered during the day, habitually found a high vantage point alone to observe the camp that was brightly lit at night.

The young king was once again ushered in by war, an unexpected war.

In the past three years, he has experienced several large-scale wars... Wars against orcs, civil wars against their vassals... And now, he is in the midst of a war against the undead legions.

Truth be told, Pedi didn't feel like he was involved in this war, after all, this war had no interest for him and his kingdom. However, he had to get involved, especially when he saw firsthand what the Undead Legion was doing to the living.

Those scenes, which can only be found in the most evil legends, are cruel means of threatening life to continue to survive.

"Your Majesty!" Cowlier's figure moved through the layers of blockade of the guards, moving towards Pedi's area at a great speed, while shouting in his mouth, "It's good news...", when his voice landed, the man had already walked up to Pedi, "Baron Hannina has sent news that the first step of our plan has been successful!"

Pei Di forced the joy in his heart, opened the information wrapped in a bamboo tube, and after a few seconds, he raised his eyebrows, "This... It's going too well!" The look of joy on his brow vanished, and a worried look on his face appeared, "Could there be a problem?"

"It's going well, but I can clearly feel that the evil energy in this area has definitely diminished a bit. Collier was stunned for a moment, and then said in a quick voice: "The most important thing is that the paladin team is okay. ”

"Your Majesty!" Drahir also approached through the guards' defensive lines, "My retinue is the adjutant of the Paladin's squad, and the message she left behind was transmitted through the magic web. He seemed very excited, but when he saw Collier next to him, he knew that the other party's information was faster than him, and his excitement immediately decreased by half.

However, his words continued: "I thought that even if the attack on the altar went well, it would take at least two days, but I didn't expect it to succeed in less than twelve hours, and the real attack took less than half an hour. ”

"Yes!" Pedi heard Drahir's words, and the worry in his heart was gradually dissipating.

"I'd suggest immediately expanding the Scout's scope to find more Death Altars and destroy them!" Drahir didn't just come to report the news, "Based on the information sent back by the Paladin's team, I'm sure that the undead in the Herion Territory are now concentrated outside of Herien, and while I'm tempted to say that the necromancer on the other side is stupid, it's a good thing for us!"

Seeing his king nodding, Collier next to him bowed down and asked, "I'm going to arrange this?" After Hannina left with the paladin team, Collier took over some of the things she was responsible for... For example, the independent Scout Brigade.

On the afternoon of the 27th,

There is still half a day before the date announced by the necromancer Udi Coobo to attack the city of Herien. The entire northern part of Harrence Heights, with the exception of the area around Herien City, has been unusually calm these days.

Goldwater Forest, the only forest in the northern part of Harrence Heights, stretches along the eastern part of the forest to the outskirts of Herryn City.

Yesterday, under the order of the headquarters, all the ** teams of the King of Kruria, who participated in the battle in the territory of Herian, rushed to the highland grassland in the eastern part of the forest as soon as they received the order.

As the direct commander of the battle against the undead legion, the temporary camp had already been set up because of the abundant garrison materials in the nearby forest, as the vanguard had arrived here as early as yesterday evening.

Sira Marne, who had been discussing with the staff officer in the headquarters for nearly fifteen hours, was now riding her war horse and galloping through the grasslands near the camp under the protection of her own soldiers.

She's relaxing, and she really needs to relax.

As the second daughter of the Marne family, Sira Marne could swear that she never expected to achieve such a high status at the age of less than twenty-five. But before she could boast of her accomplishments to her old-fashioned father, a series of burdens fell on her shoulders.

Sheila Marne didn't believe in fate before,

But now, she's somewhat convinced...

Her fate was already sealed three years ago in Chrysburg, the city of Crane...

It was the first time she fought with the army,

It was an ordinary day, and at an ordinary battle meeting, she met King Pedy Reagan, whom she now allegiated. At that time, she also proposed a duel to the other party because of the marriage arranged by the family.

But as the old empire changed, the marriage she had intended to accept collapsed before it could even begin. The original fiancé became the person she was about to be loyal to in an instant, and she thought she should be happy, but in fact she was more disappointed than happy.

After that day, Sira Marne thought she would keep her oath like the other castle knights, wielding her weapon in silence until the day she died. However, the successive appointments took her from an ordinary knight to the high position of the king's minister.

Now, he has become the first marshal of the kingdom!

My childhood dream seems to have come true in an instant, but there are some differences between this dream and my imagination.

There is definitely joy, but more than that, responsibility!

She knew that as the Minister of Minister, she actually had a lot of shortcomings... However, when she was about to enrich herself and learn how to be a good military minister, her father warned her that she only needed to manage military affairs.

Slowly, Sirah-Marne understood the meaning of her father's warning words, and why a ruler as young as she had chosen herself to help him manage his army.

In the process, she witnessed the birth of a king and understood the meaning of kingship!

Unconsciously, under the deterrence of royal power, she went from a sharp-edged genius commander to a now cautious marshal of the kingdom.

"Drive!"

The vast meadows and the cold wind that constantly filled her face let Sirah Marne's mind fly, and also relieved her swelling head that had been in the closed command post for a long time.
