Section 1 Beginnings

Logistics Office of the Garrison Camp of the Northern Silver Forest 'Adili Line'.

A group of armored soldiers rarely seen in the navy surrounded the entire logistics office, and seeing the appearance of these people, even the law enforcement team patrolling the camp subconsciously stayed away from the logistics office.

Inside the logistics office, the only warehouse in the entire camp with a high wall fence.

Buck lifted the pile of materials covered with burlap with a gloomy face, and more than a dozen logistics civilian officials followed closely behind him, all with bitter and helpless expressions on their faces.

"Youโ€”" Buck's anger finally couldn't be contained.

"My lord, the soldiers outside are resting..."Ernest hurriedly reminded him, causing Buckburn to swallow his roaring words back into his stomach.

"What about the supplies that the Mage Tower promised?" Buck stared at the nearest Mage Tower naval logistics officer in a navy shirt uniform, "What about the supplies you promised?"

"Just... That's all..."The logistics officer of the Mage Tower Navy took out a list, "The materials recorded on it, no less, all..."

"Quantity! Completely wrong!" Buck asked in a low voice, "What about the rest of the supplies?"

"General, the materials you asked for are worth tens of thousands of crowns, and such a huge amount of materials will require at least nearly a hundred carriages even if they are loaded in a carriage, not to mention teleportation by magic, so you must give a little time to prepare. The Mage Tower Logistics Officer explained stiffly.

"Time... Huh?" Buck subconsciously wanted to raise his hand and slap the logistics officer, but Ernest next to him immediately stepped forward to block his sight, making Buck immediately react to the fact that these people in front of him were not something he could hit casually.

"You only patted your chest in the morning and promised that all the supplies would be in place by three o'clock in the afternoon, but now?" Buck stared at the logistics officer of the Mage Tower with a hideous face, his eyes as terrifying as beasts.

"General, I'm just a small logistics officer. Facing Barker's anger, the logistics officer was very frightened, and said in a helpless tone: "I am only responsible for conveying the instructions above, and the news I got in the morning is that all the supplies can arrive before three o'clock in the afternoon, but now those bigwigs in the port suddenly say that there are still some supplies that have not had time to be gathered, what can I do?"

Buck stared at the other party as the logistics officer spoke, and he stared, his bloodshot eyes as if telling him that he could pull out the scimitar at his waist at any time and kill you.

But the logistics officer kept his head down to show the humility he deserved, and did not look at Buck in a rage.

"Is there nothing you can do?" After a long time, Buck seemed to have lost all strength and sat down on the nearby stone mill.

"I'm just a little logistics officer..."

"Don't mention the logistics officer to me!" Buck snapped and flipped over a nearby basket of arrows, "not to mention the 'little logistics officer'." โ€

The officials who were surrounding immediately took two steps back in fright, and Ernest looked at Buck in an angry state, and opened his mouth to persuade something, but Buck's eyes were so frightened that he immediately swallowed what he wanted to say.

"But... Sir, I'm really just a small logistics officer. โ€

"My lord, it does take time for so many materials, and although the mage claims to be omnipotent, it is impossible to conjure up so many materials out of thin air. Ernest grabbed Buck's arm as he jerked himself to his feet.

Buck froze, and his angry gaze instantly fell on Ernest's face. Ernest didn't dodge this time, and said solemnly when he looked at Buck: "My lord, there is an endless army of undead legions outside. โ€

Buck's other hand rested on Ernest's shoulder as he spoke, and after two gentle pats, Ernest pulled his hand and looked at the officials who were standing respectfully on the sidelines.

"Okay. Buck straightened his Rear Admiral's uniform, "I see...", he raised his eyelids slightly to look at each of the logistics officers standing beside him, "The soldiers are all waiting for the supplies you promised, so... Not a word is allowed to be revealed here, or elseโ€”" His gaze fell on Ernest, "Executed for treason!"

After saying these words with a cold killing intent, Buck left the logistics office without looking back.

Outside the back office's door, Buck looked sideways at Ernest, who was following closely, the anger on his face had long since disappeared, and he had regained his usual calm.

"The Mage Tower had already prepared supplies, but for some reason it suddenly changed its attention. Buck said this in a very flat tone.

Ernest was stunned, "Why are they doing this?"

"I don't know, but," Buck shook his head, "write a secret letter in my name at once, through our own route, and report our situation here to the military department... And, of course, the general headquarters of Iruk City. โ€

"I see. โ€

Buck ignored the dazed Ernest and walked as fast as he could. Half an hour later, he convened an emergency meeting of the five detachment commanders of the Combined Fleet at the command post.

The meeting lasted nearly an hour, and after the meeting, Buck handed over the command of the earthen wall defense line to Ernest, and he rushed to the defense area where the elves were stationed twenty miles away with his personal guards as fast as possible.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, as it was getting dark, the meeting between Buck and Nemero ended. Afterward, Buck and his guards rushed to the garrison area of the Earthen Wall Flank Mage Tower fleet.

Tonight, he will personally command the defensive battle here.

Night slowly fell as time passed, and the offensive and defensive battles on the earthen walls became more and more intense. Piercing screeches and monster roars became more frequent as the horizon grew darker and darker.

Standing in the tower within the walls of the newly built wooden fortress during the day, Buck looked at the dark pit outside the horse, listened to the cold wind in his ears and the whispers of the undead, silently lowered his head and looked at the scimitar hidden in the scabbard in his hand, and kept admonishing himself in his heart: you must hold on.

As a pirate leader who once roamed the northern and southern seas, Buck has always had his own ideas. He knew very well that the war he was facing now was likely to change his life, so he could give everything for this war, even if it was at the risk of his life.

Buck was an outsider to the nobles of the Kingdom of Kruria, and his pirate background made him a sidelined to the faction-filled naval system. Therefore, Buck urgently needs this war to prove himself, and needs to show the big men in the kingdom that he is worthy.

In the depths of Buck's heart, he hopes that one day he will be able to enter and exit the magnificent palace with his chest held high, and stand on the highest point and look at the mountains and rivers that seem to have no end in sight.

And all of this needs to start with this war in front of us!

"Hum... Hum..."

The long sound of trumpets echoed in the darkness, coming from the direction of the main camp of the earthen wall defense line.

Buck woke up from his unrealistic fantasies, and when his scattered gaze regathered, he saw a dense army of ghouls advancing as fast as they could, on the gloomy ground covered in the light of the 'illumination' in the distance, advancing towards the deep pits on the periphery of the defense zone at their fastest speed.

The pit defense line has been reduced to a null and void after being continuously filled by the undead legion during the day, but fortunately, after the day's haste work, a deep defense line with undulating earth walls has been established behind the deep pit. The initial stage of tonight's offensive and defensive war, according to Barker's plan, needed to be carried out around this arc of defense in depth.

"When... While... When..."

The sound of bells rang in the watchtower of the Wooden Bridge Fortress, and the undead legions on the opposite side finally ended their playful attacking posture, and the huge ghoul legions assembled in the plains began to advance slowly, heading straight for the depths outside the defensive line.

"Whoosh... Whoosh..."

In the echo of the bells, the rain of arrows on both sides rose into the air almost at the same time, and after staggering, they scattered in each other's military formations.

"Be careful to dodge!" The sailors of the Mage Tower did not waste their magic at this time.

On the opposite side, countless ghouls fearlessly attacked the rudimentary defense line on the periphery of the defense line in the rain of arrows. The rows of rejecting horses were like sailboats under a giant wolf, and in the blink of an eye they were so submerged that not even a shadow could be seen.

In addition to the crossbowmen, the first to attack on the uneven deep defensive line were the six mages and the hundreds of mage apprentices, who used the most conventional 'fireball technique' to cover a large area outside the defensive line.

I saw that behind a low earthen wall, nearly six hundred magic circles were drawn at the same time, and at the same time, the 'Fireball Technique' was cast and smashed to the ground, and the dark sky seemed to be ignited at this moment, and the heat wave swept away the gloomy and cold aura carried by the army of ghouls in an instant.

"Boom!"

The explosion sounded in unison, and the entire earth turned crimson as if it had been ignited by a divine fire descending from the sky, and the scorching heat quickly melted away the army of ghouls at the forefront.

When the sky-high flames rose, Buck, who was watching the battlefield in the rear, couldn't help but shout "Good!"

But at the same time as Buck's "good" sounded, more armies of ghouls appeared, and they fearlessly pounded the area covered by the flames, and before the echo of the "good" sounded, they extinguished the rising flames alive, and the earth that had been baked crimson with its throat turned gray and black again, and the fiery red of the sky also dissipated in the blink of an eye.

"One more time!" Buck couldn't help but shout.

"The average apprentice casts this spell at most once a day. The officer of the mage tower next to him couldn't help but explain.

Buck turned his head with an incredulous expression on his face, and after half a sound, he held back a sentence, "You should have told me about this kind of thing earlier!"

The previous war continued, and the subsequent ghouls grabbed the bodies of their companions and quickly climbed the already low earthen wall, and the elemental flames rose on the city wall again, but this time due to the different speed and insufficient number of mages to build, they were unable to burst out with the same destructive power as before.

Soon, a large number of ghouls crossed the low-lying trenches and climbed to the front earthen wall!

Buck walked down the watchtower at this time, and under the protection of the guards, he rushed to the front earthen wall as fast as he could. "Ahh

"Don't slack off, victory is ours!" Buck raised his scimitar aloft and roared with all his strength as the rune circle carved on his body opened, slashing at all the ghouls and spirits he could see in front of him.

The truly brutal bloody battle begins...

The Wizard Tower fleet sailors are not weak, and most of them are magical warriors. So, at the beginning of the battle it went very well.

But as time passed, the warriors' physical strength was gradually depleted, and the army of ghouls on the opposite side was tireless and seemingly endless. Soon, the front line of defense was in a hurry, and Buck had to lead them back to rest behind the second line of defense.

At this time, it was only three hours before the outbreak of the great war.

The second line of defense was longer than the first, and the soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted, so they were passive and weak at the beginning of the war.

After two hours of hard fighting, Buck retreated again with his exhausted soldiers.

At three o'clock in the morning, the whole army retreated to the rear of the wooden-walled fortress, and it had reached the point where there was no way to retreat. The real war of attrition began, and Buck took his scimitar to the front wall to boost morale.

In the bloody battle, time seems to pass quickly and as if it has been frozen.

Buck couldn't remember how long it had been since he had wielded his scimitar like he had done today, and the bloody battle reminded him of the last time he had been in a white-knuckle battle with the Fifth Fleet. At that time, he desperately waved the scimitar in his hand in order to survive, and finally he survived as he wished.

And this time, he is also trying to survive and for his future.

The real casualties began to appear, and the constant number of sailors being consumed by the army of ghouls activated the spontaneous combustion magic on their bodies.

Two hours later, the battle entered a truly difficult period, as an endless army of ghouls took over most of the Wooden Wall Fortress, and Buck led the soldiers to hold the stronghold of the Wooden Wall Fortress in the middle of the Wooden Wall Fortress, making the last resistance with difficulty.

"Roar"

A different roar came from the dark night sky, causing Buck to look in the direction of the sound in confusion, but because his vision was blocked, he could only see the disgusting ugly faces of the countless ghouls in the dim firelight.

"It's the Iron Guard!" shouted the lookout on the watchtower with all his might, but his shouts were so small for the earth-shattering shouts that he could only shout with all his might, "There is an Iron Guard!" and at the same time ring the alarm bell on the watchtower.

Buck was awakened by the loud alarm bells and the piercing magic whistle, and a bloodstained battlefield scout held a round shield to dodge the attack, and at the same time, he squeezed to Buck's side and shouted, "General, it's not the Iron Guard in the Legion!"
