Sept. 11, 10 a.m.

The undead army attacking Ailu City finally couldn't support it and chose to retreat on its own initiative.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the undead legion of the southern plains gathered an elite army of ghouls as fast as they could, and under the cover of the Iron Guard, they attacked the headquarters of Major General Buck, who was blocking their retreat.

Faced with an enemy attack that was several times as expected, Major General Barker quickly adjusted his formation and met the undead army attacking him in a tough offensive formation.

After fighting for more than five hours on this open plain, each side retreated to its own garrison.

Five o'clock in the afternoon,

Buck, who was resting, was woken up by his lieutenant from his bed, and after reporting a military report, his hazy sleepiness immediately vanished, and he rushed to the command camp at great speed.

As soon as he entered the command tent on his front foot, the commanders of the various departments appeared one after another as if they had made an appointment.

"What's going on now?" said Buck, greeting the crowd, asking Ernest, who had arrived at the command tent early.

"The scouts have been accurately reported that the Death Fortress is reinforcing the town of Broken Bones. At the same time as Ernest made a quick report, he picked up charcoal and drew a circle in the Broken Bone Town at the back of the barracks, "The undead legion's march this time is very high-profile, as if it is doing it for us to see. ”

"It is clear that our enemies want us to retreat on our own. Buck took the wet towel from Hu Cong and wiped his face vigorously as he said in a joking tone.

"Do you want to retreat?" Nemero's stern voice immediately sounded, making the atmosphere in the camp a lot more solemn.

"Haha!" Buck laughed and tossed the towel to the servant, filling himself with a glass of ale in the barrel next to him, and asked, "How long will it take for reinforcements from the Undead Legion to reach Broken Bones?"

Ernest smiled bitterly, "The scouts have detected many teleportation arrays in Broken Bones Town, so... It's really hard to estimate this time, maybe a day... Maybe half a day. ”

"How soon will Sir Bowenlight's main force be able to get here?" asked Buck again.

"Tomorrow morning at the earliest!" replied Ernest this time with a crisp answer.

Buck had already drunk a full glass of ale at the moment, and he let out a sigh of relief and looked at Anse-Zora and asked, "General Zora, what do you suggest?"

Anse Zora raised his head in response to the gazes of everyone looking at him, and said, "The battle of the Eluk Territory has reached the most critical period, and judging from the mobilization of the Plains Undead Legion, it is obvious that they have given up their intention to continue attacking Elok City, and they have retreated more simply than I imagined. ”

"I have analyzed all the previous battles of the Allies against the undead legions, including the Suker Plains, the Kingdom of Kruria, etc. Anse Zora said these words in an emphatic tone, "In our war with the undead in the past few months, the undead have never sent a large army to rescue their besieged troops. ”

Hearing these words, Nemero took a step forward and said, "Because for necromancers, there are too many corpses buried underground in the Elan Continent, and there is no need for them to risk their besieged troops!"

"Then this time, why did the 'Death Fortress' send reinforcements, and so high-profilely?" Anse Zora threw out a question, and then asked himself, "The only explanation is that our opponent has consumed too much in this war, and the western territory of the Iruk Territory has no resources that he can use!"

"In other words, if we can leave this undead legion in the southern plains behind, the battle of the Elok Territory may end here?" Ernest's eyes lit up surprisingly, but then he frowned again, "In other words, not only can we not retreat at this moment, but we must also defend this defense area at all costs and leave the undead legions of the plains behind?"

Anse Zola's tone was more relaxed at this time, "Don't worry, if it's really like what I said, our opponent will be more uncomfortable than us, and he won't attack again until the most critical time... In this morning's breakout war, they could have committed more troops, but in the end they gave up... That's the best proof of this. ”

The crowd unconsciously followed Anse Zora's train of thought and began to think, and the deduction of the map changed rapidly as they spoke. Nemeiro looked at the deduction on the map and said, "The Undead Legion deliberately exposed their teleportation array to our scouts to tell us that their main force will return sooner than our main force. ”

"Our opponents want to play a time game with us. Anse Zora nodded slightly, looked at Buck and said, "A bloody battle tonight is certainly inevitable, but as long as we hold on tonight, I believe that the balance of victory in this war will be in our favor." ”

Buck nodded at Anse Zora in agreement, saying, "That is, we have a few hours to rest...", the smile on his face slowly retracted, "Let the army laborers hurry up and build fortifications in these few hours." ”

"I'll make arrangements!" Ernest immediately took the order.

"The Undead have a teleportation array, and we have too!" Buck looked at Anse Zora, "This time the mage tower won't be like last time, will it?"

"The Mage Tower will fully support this war this time. "Anse Zola is a very serious assurance.

"I need more magic scrolls, magic arrows, crossbow arrows, and especially heavy crossbows!" Buck unceremoniously asked, "and mages, mages who study the fire and earth elements. ”

"I need a list and in two hours you'll have everything you want. Ans-Zora agreed without even thinking about it.

...

Tonight's Eloke Leader is destined to be a sleepless night.

However, it is not only the local Eluk and the forces involved in the war that are paying attention to this decisive battle on the plains.

Archduke Andy Barrett, the young steppe overlord of the Northern Highlands, had just finished his war with the Undead Legion in the northern hills, and his eyes were almost entirely on this small plain region at the moment.

The master of the Western Continent, the Khan of the Kamok Khanate, Shikan-Silveraxe, has been following the battle of the Eluk Lords for a long time, and the Krulian Kingdom that is active in this battle.

The elven kingdom of the Naren Forest, as a direct participant in this battle, naturally cast its eyes on this battle that affected the future situation of the entire Eastern Continent.

The various city-state masters of the Suke Plain are also waiting for the end of this battle!

These people's eyes seem to be staring at the Battle of Eloke Territory, but in fact, they are more focused on Pedy Reagan in Crewe City. Because, everyone knew that as long as Peddy Reagan opened the passage to the Eluk Territory, his royal banner could be planted in the city of Suke.

At that time, the hegemony of the human empire will return to this continent!

The expansion of the Kingdom of Kruria was welcomed by some, but many resisted.

...

When night fell on the land, the entire Elok Realm seemed very quiet, but this silence gave people an unsettling feeling like the dim world before the storm.

Eleven o'clock in the evening,

In the plains south of Iruk, the silent night sky was broken by the wails of the souls of the dead, and the sound of loud 'illuminations' rose into the pitch-black sky in rows to the sound of military trumpets.

A new war began ...

A life-and-death war!

The undead legions of the Southern Plains and the huge army of Broken Bones launched a strong attack on Major General Buck's headquarters at the same time!

At the very beginning of the war, both sides used all their might.

The roaring magic of death carries a corrosive force that threatens to devour everything, and the violent fire elemental and heavy earth elemental fill the land, fighting the threat of death with the breath of countless living people.

The cries of the soldiers and the whispers of the dead filled the plain almost instantly.

The two sides fought for three hours, and Major General Buck's headquarters did not back down in the face of the surprise attack of the Plains Undead Legion and the frantic attack of the army of the Broken Bones Dead.

But as time went on, the casualties began to slowly become unacceptable. In the end, Buck had no choice but to put down his body and ask for help from the city of Elok in person. Cove-Rambo immediately responded to Major General Barker's call for help, or he had already gathered his troops and waited for help from the plains.

Half an hour after Major General Buck's letter for help was sent, nearly 10,000 war-baptized elite El Luk City guards stepped out of the city walls to launch the heaviest assault on the rear of the undead legions in the southern plains.

But at this time, the undead army did not meet the battle, they actually retreated towards the left flank of the southern plains as fast as possible, and at the same time, the huge army assembled in Broken Bones Town was also retreating.

In the headquarters of the Plains Coalition Army, there was a heated argument among the officers over whether to pursue or not. Amid the quarrel, the coalition forces ushered in the dawn of a new day.

At the same time, the main vanguard of Bowenwright appeared to the west of Elok City!

At ten o'clock in the morning, the troops of the huge coalition army surrounded the undead army that was raging on the southern plains by the stream on the flank of the plain pass.

Seems... The victory of this battle is a foregone conclusion!

In the temporary command of the front, the commanders of all the coalition forces gathered, and the military meeting before the general offensive took place in a very relaxed atmosphere.

As usual, it was still Kove-Rambo, the chief consul of the Principality of Suluk, who spoke first.

"Thank you, everyone, for all you have done for the Duchy. The smile on Cove-Rambo's face was no longer a stiff and formulaic smile, his irrepressible smile from the heart, a smile that lasted for the rest of his life, told his current mood, "The people of Elok will remember you, and they will remember you for the rest of their lives!"

"This war is not over, Your Excellency. Sir Bowenwright reminded with a blank face.

"I don't think the Undead still have any chance of turning the tables. Cove-Rambo smiled.

Nemeiro also hated Cove-Rambo's pretentiousness at the moment, so he said: "There is also the 'Death Fortress' to the west, and the death army of Broken Bones is still there, and we still have a long way to go before victory." ”

The words of Bowenwright and Nemero immediately sobered up the excited Cove-Rambo, and he soon realized that he was a little carried away.

Just when Cove-Rambo was embarrassed, the sound of fast horses galloping on the main road outside the camp outside the temporary headquarters came in. In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Cove-Rambo cast his gaze, and the embarrassed expression on his face became a little surprised and surprised.

On the horizon of the narrow main road outside the camp, a female knight in standard leather armor was galloping on horseback.

It's Minnie Vatu, MI2 chief of El Ruk City!

"The intelligence that the head of MI2 personally came to report..."Tra-Leinster's muffled voice echoed in the command, "I hope it's not bad news, I've had enough of bad news!"

Tra Rensko's words resonated with everyone present, and even Bowenwright couldn't help frowning at the moment.

Minnie Vatu ignored the stares that fell on her, and walked straight to Corve-Rambo as she walked into the headquarters, but instead she gave the information to Bowenlet, "It's from Tyre..."

...

Crewe City,

In the office of the Kingdom of Kavalburg, Pedi had been here all night the previous night, the first time since he had been married that he had been in the castle without returning to the garden building.

Not only him, but all the ministers of the kingdom were waiting in their respective offices.

No, it should be said that the entire upper nobles of the kingdom are waiting ...

But what Pedi didn't expect was that the first thing he was waiting for was not the result of the battle of the Eluk Lord, but the news from the town of Tyre!

A surprising piece of news.

The members of the Office of National Analysis, with the exception of the goblin Omiqi, were summoned to the King's office by Pedi as soon as possible. In addition, Chief of Military Intelligence Danmen Green was granted permission by Pedi to attend the meeting.

Pedy's serious face, and his scarlet eyes that revealed murderous intent, made the atmosphere of this meeting extra solemn at the beginning.

Under the watchful eyes of the Officer, Baron Danny Green, Chief of Military Intelligence, reported the news from the town of Tyre after the meeting began: "According to the reliable information obtained by our agents, the town of Tyre has been captured by the Sooke allied forces, but... There is something strange about this war. ”

"Strange war... An interesting combination of words. The elven general Drahir teased.

"You say so... What does that mean?" said Sir Bipp, who frowned, a little unsatisfied with Danmon-Green's words, and felt that he was deliberately playing in front of His Majesty.

Danmen Green took a deep breath at the king's signal and said, "During the siege of Iruk, the combined forces of the Suke Plains outside the town of Tyre also launched a strong attack on the town of Tyre at the same time, and successfully captured the town of Tyre in just three hours. ”

"It's for us... Good news, or bad news?" Cowlier muttered quietly, as if he had never understood anything.

No one heeds Cowlil's muttering, and Danmen Green's debriefing continues: "But when the Coalition forces entered Tyre, all of the Coalition high-ranking forces, including Elven Ranger Captain Brian, were assassinated... The assassination was a success, and several of the city-state rulers, including Barry Victor of Kwyn Town, were stabbed to death on the spot!"
