Andy Barrett's final order relieved both Khalikhan and Kebot.

"Against the undead, too sharp weapons are useless, the most effective way to kill is to smash their heads with blunt weapons, for which I have gathered all the blacksmiths of the Duchy of Twak, and have built a mace for 60,000 troops. Andy Barrett looked at Khalikhan and Kebot, "You each have 30,000 rations, remember to pick them up at the logistics office before the war starts." ”

"You're welcome. ”

"Very sentimental for your assistance. ”

"The time for the attack is six o'clock tomorrow morning!" Andy Barrett straightened his back, "I don't rule out that our soldiers are mixed with degenerates who believe in evil gods, so we need to keep it a strict secret before we actually attack here." ”

On the first day of August,

Outside the northern hills of the Duchy of Twak, the morning sun was set to the sound of trumpets.

Prince Khalikhan squinted at the dim mountain peaks in the distance, looked at the desolate mountains and forests and the earth, put the huge battle scepter in his hand on his shoulder, pulled the light armor on his body and withdrew his gaze from afar.

Behind Khalikhan, there was a huge army formation that had been assembled, two mixed elite first-class flag regiments with a total of 30,000 soldiers gathered together, the dense battle flags seemed to cover the sky, and the soldiers breathed and exhaled hot air that could blow away the coolness from the snow-capped mountains in the north in the morning.

"Your Highness, the order to advance has been sent from the command platform. Khalikhan's flag bearer said loudly: "Let's have a good fight!"

"Let's go forward...", as if he was very weapon, he took a deep breath and gave the order, although he was more aggressive in making plans, he would habitually maintain a cautious attitude when it came to directing the battle.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

At the same time as the horn sounded, the huge military formation slowly advanced towards the fog in the distance under the orders of the flag bearer and the low-ranking officers.

Soon, the clashing of soldiers and the dust rolled up made the area appear a murderous aura, impacting the mist-shrouded mountains not far away, causing the undead monsters inside to let out a burst of sharp screams.

meanwhile

Thousands of miles away, in the military port of Yekjar, a huge naval fleet is landing.

The commander of the port garrison, Admiral Belém Val of the Principality of Suluk, dressed in the short-sleeved uniform of an ordinary marine, personally directs the landing of troops at the deep-water dock.

At seven o'clock in the morning, when the mild morning glow turned into a scorching sun, the commander of the Kruria Combined Fleet, Rear Admiral Barker, the commander of the Elven Kingdom fleet, Admiral Nemero, and the commander of the Wizard Tower Magic Fleet, Coba, together stepped onto the dock from the flagship of the elven fleet.

When Belén Val heard the adjutant's report, he immediately greeted him after handing over the work in his hand.

"I'm sorry I couldn't prepare a welcome ceremony for you. Beren Val shook hands with Major General Buck first, "When you fight off the monsters raging outside the harbor, I'll throw a great feast for you when you pass through this harbor. ”

"That's what you said, and now that so many people are witnessing, you'll have to give us a feast back when we repel the monsters wreaking havoc outside the harbor. Rear Admiral Barker laughed "haha" and looked around at the officers and men of the Navy, for the soldiers who have been adrift at sea all year round, there is nothing that a banquet cannot solve!

"I'm really looking forward to it. Koba, dressed in a simple shirt, had a sly but relatively simple smile on his tanned face with the characteristic sly but relatively simple smile of a sailor.

The leather ring armor on General Nemero's body shone with a pale blue glow, exuding the cool smell of summer, and his handsome face said with the usual coldness, "I just hope to be able to wipe out the undead legion outside the port as soon as possible." ”

"Of course, that's what we're here for. Buck shrugged, "But as a sailor, you have to enjoy it when you get on land." ”

"I can understand that. Nemero nodded, "I was like you when I was younger, well... I am full of vitality and yearn for a better life on land, but after a hundred years of abstinence, I have long lost my nostalgia for material comforts. ”

"Then your life is really boring. Buck said subconsciously.

"This is the best way to keep my mind unpolluted, otherwise there is no way to keep my life going. "I don't feel sorry for me, because when I was younger, I enjoyed a hundred years of life surrounded by fine wines. He pointed to the young elven marines who were sharing wine with the human soldiers nearby, "I was no different from them when I was younger. ”

"Well, I'll take back those words. Buck looked over Beren-Val, "Get us out of here, it's windy and the sun isn't very kind." ”

Belen-Val smiled just right, as a sociable general, his attitude from the beginning was perfect, "Let's go straight to the headquarters, King Pedi's order to urge the attack has been sent through the Mage Tower. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, lead the way. ”

...

The headquarters of the Yekgyer Military Port is set up in the attic of the city wall on the north side of the port, on the wall of nearly a kilometer, there is a bottle of magic guide artillery built by the Misha Kingdom every twenty meters, and the young apprentices who came from the reinforcement of the mage tower in the early stage are lined up to charge the magic guide cannon under the leadership of the mentor.

The traces of the craters outside the walls and the black powder left behind by the fire reveal what happened before. As he walked, Belém-Val explained that he told Major General Barker and the others that a large part of the reason why the port had not fallen until now was because of the magic artillery.

What Belén Val stepped forward and didn't tell the three of them was that nearly eighty percent of the magic cannons here were originally used to resemble the invasion of the Mage Tower.

In the attic headquarters, the four of them sat around a military map, and after a brief politeness, they began to talk about formality.

"First of all, we need to know the intelligence of the undead legion on the other side. ”

Buck habitually stroked his beard, which had been messed up by his long time at sea, and frowned slightly as he looked at the map in front of him, because the area on it that was supposed to be the undead legion was not marked in the slightest.

"In the past two months, we have organized more than 100 expeditions to this area, but in the end, nothing has been achieved, but many of our good soldiers have been lost. Belen-Val shook his head, pointed to the western part of the Iruk Territory and said with some embarrassment, "So, this area is a blank slate for us. ”

"No information at all?" Coba couldn't help but ask again.

"I'm sorry, no. ”

"Don't come as a surprise, the Undead Legion is unlike anything you've fought before. Nemero was not surprised, he looked at the map on the table and said, "The undead are sensitive to the living who step into their territory, and they know of your arrival when you enter the fog shrouded in evil. ”

"I've read about this in the shared war reports on the undead legions within the kingdom, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. Buck took a deep breath, "Well, I'll repeat the order His Majesty sent me... Do everything you can to find the main force of the undead legion and launch an attack on it to prepare for the frontal battle. ”

"The marshal's order is for me to assist you. Belém-Val then said: "Assist you at all costs!"

"But we don't even know where the enemy is. Koba spread his hands, "How?" he subconsciously looked at Buck.

"I can give advice, but I won't make a decision, this time the first general gave me the order is very clear, my task is the same as that of General Belen, fully cooperate with you. Nemero looked into Buck's eyes with a calm expression.

While the power added to Buck made him feel happy, the general pressure also suddenly hit him.

But Buck didn't seem to be flustered, he calmly pondered the meaning of the order His Majesty had given him, and after a long time looked at Belen-Val and asked, "What is the situation in Elok City now, and how is the battle on the main battlefield?"

"The city of Elok is still calm, and Sir Bowenright has not launched any attacks on the undead legions. Belén Val took a deep breath and said, "This is the news that the Blood Eagle has just arrived this morning, and the deadline for the news is yesterday morning. ”

"I understand King Pedi's plan somewhat well. Hearing Belen-Val's words, Nemero attached himself to the map, and quickly grabbed the blue marker on the map that marked Yekjer's department and moved forward, "It seems that we have to fight the first battle in this battle!"

"Isn't our mission to fight the main battlefield?" Koba's eyelids couldn't help but jump.

"This is the main battlefield of strategy. Buck struggled to keep himself calm, "Once our army enters the western region of Iruk, this undead army will face a dilemma... I believe that with the wisdom of Sir Bowenlet, he has ordered the main forces of the Eluk to be ready to attack at any time. ”

"And here," Neyro said, pointing to the town of Tyre in the northern corner of the map, "I'm sure Captain Brian won't miss the best chance to attack Tyre." He looked at Buck, "It seems that your king has understood the elements of fighting the undead legions. ”

"Does King Pedi want to crush this undead army with a single blow?" said Belen-Val's face was stunned.

"An obvious attempt to... And the plan was perfect, but—" Nemero looked around, "but it's a challenge for us. He deduced on the map and said: "If the Legion of the Dead has enough troops, it is completely possible to divide the troops to have a decisive battle with us, and then we may encounter unimaginable blows." ”

"Yes, the commander of the Undead Legion is named Muvet Felle, and I studied his file on the way here. Buck stared at the area of the map where the Undead Legion was located, "We're going to fight a 'memory snatcher' who has been around for at least two hundred years, and his cunning is beyond our imagination, and he can definitely imagine everything we can think of. ”

"Moreover, General Nemero is right, we do not rule out that the undead legion has the ability to fight in two or even three lines. Buck looked around, "So, even though our main forces are holding back most of the main forces of the Undead Legion in Iruk City, we can't take it too lightly. ”

"But the problem is, we don't have any information about this undead legion at the moment. Koba spread his hands.

"If there is intelligence, it will not be our turn to fight the first battle. General Nemero pushed the marker of the port garrison on the map, "Don't think about it so much, let's speak with strength." ”

"Yes!" Buck nodded slightly.

"My lord!" Belen-Val's lieutenant appeared at the door of the command post, "The Mage Tower has sent another letter from the Kingdom of Kruria, urging us to attack as soon as possible. The adjutant approached and intended to give the letter to Belém-Val, but Belém-Val did not answer and motioned for the adjutant to give the letter to Barker.

It was a letter from King Pedi. When the adjutant handed the letter to Barker, he gave a special instruction.

Buck subconsciously straightened up and took the letter and flipped through it... There is no code in it, and the signature is the autograph of His Majesty the King and the seal of the Reagan family.

"This is the eleventh letter. Belén Val shrugged, "It doesn't look easy on the side of Iruk City either. ”

"Then there's nothing to discuss, let's fight first. Buck made a decision, he looked at Belém-Val, "Establish a dedicated logistical supply line as soon as possible to deal with the next war." ”

"This is a trading port, and although it has been less than half a year since the official trade, the materials we have hoarded are enough for our early war. Belém-Val is confident in this, "and there are countless merchant ships in the port, which can be mobilized at any time if needed." ”

"Then arrange it as soon as possible. Buck nodded, "While I would love to end this war as soon as possible, we also have to prepare for a long war. ”

When several people present heard Barker's words, they all nodded solemnly one after another.

"It's morning... Well, morning... Eight thirty. Buck took out the magic watch he had with him, "Our troops must complete the landing by three o'clock in the afternoon, complete the reorganization between dark, and advance to the Eluk Territory at six o'clock tomorrow morning..." ”

"A nice place. Belén-Val nodded approvingly.

"Also, we need a lot of local guides to lead the way for our soldiers!" Buck continued, "The intelligence shared within the Kingdom military headquarters shows that the undead legions can launch small raids from anywhere, and it is possible to gather large numbers of ghouls to suddenly overpower. ”

"And the best solution is to form a special mopping force to clean up all areas where undead may appear, and ensure the safety of the army as it advances. Buck looked at Nemero, "General, I'll leave the matter of sweeping the troops to you." As he spoke, he looked at Belén Val again, "You're in charge of the guide's business. ”

"Don't worry!"

"Willing to help. ”

Koba couldn't help but sigh at this time: "It seems that we still have a lot of things to prepare. ”

"That's right!"
