The appearance of the Iron Guard immediately made the atmosphere on both sides of the confrontation tense, and the elven rangers subconsciously stood in the most advantageous position and put their hands in the quiver.

"Roar!" The scream of pain didn't stop after the Iron Guard appeared, and this frantic cry made everyone who heard it a little timid.

"It doesn't look like our opponent is looking for an attack. Brian whispered as if to herself, "What is he waiting for?"

"Wait for his power to spread around. The male elf mage frowned, "While it's almost impossible for this to happen in the current situation, but... If he can afford to prepare a second sacrifice—" He did not continue, for he was taken aback by his own speculation.

Brian was also taken aback by this sentence, and her eyes subconsciously looked into the middle of the ruins that were flooded by the haze in the distance.

"Do you want a tentative attack?" the ranger lieutenant immediately suggested when he heard the conversation between the two: "The rangers of the two squadrons, plus the 10,000 elites of Fort Norma, and the remaining strength of the city garrison, are enough to deal a fatal blow to this group of undead. ”

"I think so, anyway, we have to test the degree to which the magic tower suppresses the evil energy inside. "The elemental energy and natural energy in the hands of the male elf mage are blended with each other," combat is the best way to test. ”

The adjutant's suggestion made Brian listen to the eyes of the undead legion in front of her full of murderous intent, and her heart was somewhat moved, but when she thought of the loss caused by her impulsive decision last night, the fighting intent dissipated in an instant.

Moreover, the current situation does not have the capital for Brian to launch a tentative attack, after all, the war with the undead cannot afford to lose anyway.

Brian shook her head with murderous intent and said, "Since there are already infected people on the other side, we can't start a war easily. ”

"Keep an eye on everything inside, and don't go to war unless you have to!" Brian put away her bow and arrows and looked out at the magnificent Lion Castle not far away, "I need to talk to the ruler of this city now." ”

...

After the second bombardment of the ruins of the Grand Theater, the Elves' original headquarters was moved from Victory Square to the intersection of Patweed Street, and the city garrison that was originally stationed there was deployed to the flank to defend the road from Victory Square to Queens.

At this moment, the intersection of Patved Street has long been renovated by the army of Fort Norma, and several private villas on the left and right sides have been directly demolished, and all the materials are used to strengthen the courtyard wall of the villa originally built on the street entrance. After several hours of hard work, with sufficient materials and the help of a mage, a simple wall was erected around Shengli Square.

Brian's command post was in a tent set up at the corner of the street next to the city wall, and it was an excessively rudimentary pre-war command post. Penny Reagan had been waiting in a tent at the command post for nearly an hour, and she didn't see Brian returning from the front until just after nine a.m.

"I was about to go to you. Brian walked into the tent and looked surprised to see Penny Reagan, "You surprised me, I thought you were right now—" She was about to say what was on her mind, but suddenly she realized that there was a human on the other side of her.

Penny Reagan went on to say for Brian, "Do you think I'm just going to hide under the soft covers and shiver?"

"Actually, it's true... I distinctly remember that after the Battle of Suk Plain last year, most of the nobles of the empire were like this. Brian saw that the other party had spoken, so she didn't worry about it anymore.

Penny Reagan didn't look angry or angry when she heard these words, she kept a ladylike smile and whispered in a very calm tone, "You're right... The former nobles of the empire are like you say, they are afraid of death, refuse to pay for the empire, but are proud and arrogant. ”

"You know what? I've been studying your country for hundreds of years. Brian spoke about his subject for the first time in front of a human, "The Empire was supposed to go far, but your ruler ruined it all. ”

This is not a question that can be explained in one or two sentences. Penny Reagan quietly changed the subject, "If you are interested in this issue, I can hold a tea party for this purpose and invite scholars from Grace University to communicate, but only if we solve the problem in front of us first." ”

"Of course... I'm planning to go to you for this trouble too. Brian waved to the people in the tent and motioned for her to talk to Penny alone, then she looked at Penny Reagan and said, "I heard on the way here that you had a fight with your commander, and I don't like that we were delayed by some misunderstanding. ”

Penny Reagan was a little annoyed when she heard the other party bring it up, but she still kept a smile and said, "I'll try to control my emotions... If you didn't mean to provoke me, I think we should be able to go on. ”

Brian chuckled noncommittally and said, "I'm sure your 'Brotherhood' servant has told you about the information on the ruins of the Grand Theater. She spoke very quickly, "And I will say that we can't wipe out this undead army for the time being, at least for a month." ”

"I don't think it's good for us to wait. Penny Reagan heard this conversation and immediately put aside the rest of her thoughts, "If I don't understand your information wrong... A successfully erected Death Altar will slowly grow stronger over time. ”

"Yes, you're not mistaken, and necromancers will also create more undetermined undead creatures during this time. Brian nodded, a little helplessness on her beautiful face, "The necromancer in the middle of the ruins is very smart, he knows his strengths..."

"You mean we can only defend passively for the time being?" Penny Reagan couldn't help but interrupt Brian, "If that's the case, only the goddess knows how much Andrew's strength has increased after a month." She leaned forward slightly, her eyes meeting Brian's, "We can't do this, it's too dangerous." ”

Surprise appeared in Brian's green eyes again, she had thought that the woman in front of her was just a scheming politician, "My staff officer told me that in five days at most, the necromancer inside will command those monsters to attack our army. ”

"I can guarantee that in a short period of time, the necromancer will not be able to spread his power beyond Victory Square. Brian's tone was full of confidence, but then she changed her words, "But what you just said is right, no one can guarantee that we will be able to completely eliminate this necromancer in a month's time." ”

"If you have a better idea, you might as well just say it. "Penny Reagan didn't want to keep going around in circles.

"I'm sure someone has already made a similar suggestion to you..."Brian stood up and walked over to a map of the tent scene that was stretched out with wooden shelves, "The creation of undead monsters depends mainly on the constant sacrifice of life... And the last thing that is lacking in Suke City is..."

"You want me to give up Suker City?" Penny Reagan immediately understood what the other party wanted to say, and her whole body looked excited.

"No, there is no need to give up the whole city. Brian immediately explained, "We just need to give up this area...", she pointed to the area around the ruins on the map, "St. Lee's Square, Patwede Street, Queens, Sixth Block, Eighth Block... All you need to do is abandon these places, and then rely on the walls of the inner city and the Lion Castle to create a blockade and trap the undead in the ruins. ”

"It's the equivalent of giving up the entire inner city!" Penny Reagan's eyebrows furrowed unconsciously, although she still had some resistance to this plan in her heart at the moment, but not as strongly as she had just now.

If it had been in the old empire, Penny Reagan would have refused this proposal without hesitation, because at that time the nobility of the inner city of Suker almost represented the empire, and now the inner city, although still important, does not represent everything.

But... The 300-year history of Sukh City, the historical witness of mankind from the nomadic period to the rise of the empire, is in the inner city! The areas just pointed out by Brian include churches, the Prime Minister's official residence, the University of Youen, the War Memorial Square, and other buildings of great significance and commemorative value to the people of Suk City.

"Is there any other way?" asked Penny Reagan tentatively, "someone suggested that I use the forbidden arts... Cast forbidden spells directly over the ruins to those who are not creatures, or directly destroy the area of the ruins of the Grand Theater once and for all. ”

"Of course!" Brian looked serious, "Actually, the best way to do this is to use the forbidden arts, but are you sure you want to do this?" she explained after taking a deep breath, "You don't know anything about the forbidden arts, and you don't know the current situation. ”

"I originally planned to do the same as you, using forbidden magic to fight the undead in the ruins... Perhaps, any Elven Commander would choose to use the Forbidden Technique, but I don't want to do that, because Suke City is very important to my heart. Brian let out a breath, "Don't look at me like that, it's related to my research topic." ”

"Now the power of death on the ruins can compete with the magical energy built by more than a hundred high-level mages, if we can't cast a magical blow that exceeds this power..."

"You don't have to explain these issues to me, I don't understand. Penny Reagan couldn't help but interrupt, "You just tell me what the impact of the forbidden spell will be on Suke City." ”

"The Orcs have used the forbidden spell several times in the past few years of war, the first time was in the town of Forest, and you should know very well what the ruins of Fortress look like now... The second time was in the Jamich grassland, but this time it was a little different, because this time it used the physical object it already had, so the damage caused was very low, but it was still not restored after two years of continuous repair in the Kingdom of Kruria. ”

Brian was trying to tell Penny Reagan that the Forbidden Spell Strike was a near-permanent blow, and that the target of the strike was the inner city of the city. Penny-ri gritted her teeth and pondered for a moment before asking, "If you use the forbidden technique, can you guarantee to only hit the area around the ruins?"

"Of course, we can set up a magical defense array around us beforehand. Brian instinctively puffed up her chest and looked at the human woman in front of her seriously, "But are you sure you want to use the forbidden technique?"

"Because I was told that using forbidden art is the fastest way. Penny Reagan replied, "You may be safe, but I know how long it takes... The city of Suke can't afford to take so long, the citizens are waiting for us to come up with a solution, they can't wait a day. ”

"You can explain it to your people. ”

Penny Reagan shook her head, "Humans are not elves, your lowest people have the same intelligence as our ordinary scholars, and our people only know how to read the results." ”

"If you insist on using forbidden arts... I'll have it all done in three days!" Brian stopped persuading, her face straightening, "The necromancer inside is not a fool, he will guess what we are going to do from our movements, and he will definitely go out of his way to attack when we carve out the circle needed for forbidden arts." ”

"I will gather all the paladins, magic warriors, ascetic warriors, and magicians in the city, and send out the Lion Castle Guards. Penny Reagan's beautiful eyes were filled with determination, "I promise you, those ugly monsters won't bother you." ”

"That's for the best!" Brian nodded, "I'll let the army of Fort Norma pin down the undead head-on. ”

...

Harrence Heights, the southeastern frontier of the Herion Territory.

The Legion of the Undead and the army of the Kingdom of Kruria have been fighting in this area for nearly ten days.

The battle became more and more fierce as time went on,

From the 19th, the undead army no longer fought against the Krulian army in a fragmented state, and the necromancer gathered nearly 50,000 ghoul legions in the border area at one time to blockade this area, so that the Krulian vanguard army, which had been strong all the way, had to choose to temporarily retreat.

On the 21st of this month, when the main forces of the kingdom arrived,

The Krurians, led by King Pedy Reagan himself, began to counterattack and launched a frenzied attack.

After two days and two nights of fighting, the Crulian army managed to break through the lands of the Herian Territory and set up camp near the ruins of a castle on its border.

However, the fighting on the front lines has not stopped.

The huge army of undead composed of tireless ghouls and ghouls, although often inferior in the war against the elite regular army of Kruria, was supported by its numerical superiority and fatigue tactics day and night, and the battle line that was about to collapse was steady.

On the frontline battlefield,

A vast highland plain, the dark red blood and the eroding forces of death have turned the region's once green grasslands into depression.

A regular encounter lasted almost three hours on this plain,

It is a battlefield where the army led by King Pedi Reagan of the Kingdom of Crulia and the army of ghouls of the undead army encountered.
