Only a strong man like Death and Alice could summon and serve the undead on the main plane, and this idea was originally only thought by those who had not studied magic seriously and liked to listen to the bard's nonsense stories in the tavern, even those who had only listened to a few days of lectures and read a few serious books knew why the main plane gave birth to such a thing as undead.

In fact, most of the time, the appearance of the undead only needs to meet two conditions, the first is the basis for the birth of the undead, such as bones, corpses, and the undead who have not entered the underworld, etc., and the second is the environment with strong negative energy, if it is not negative energy but something else, then the constructed thing cannot be called an undead.

Based on these two foundations, even ordinary mortals can cultivate and create such things as undead spirits by using the existing resources in their hands, of course, because they are ordinary mortals, the undead they create cannot be controlled at all, and they often become the first target of these undead.

After the death was confirmed, the Attila army completely lost patience (although they did not have much patience in the first place), and in order to achieve their goals, evil and inhumane ways naturally appeared in the Scandinavian city of Upplan.

As always, in order to achieve the end, means have never been an important thing for the Attila army, and as for the chivalry and aristocratic demeanor of any kind of thing, it is impossible for the Attila army to exist.

Undead

Not the zombies that can only be targeted, nor the fragile skeletons, this time the Atila Army created ghosts that can pass through walls and are immune to most physical attacks.

In this battlefield full of death and souls, with just a little magic guidance and a little consumption of magic materials, ghosts are simply created like assembly line goods.

Moreover, the Atila army does not need to manipulate these ghosts, just throw them into the battlefield, these ghosts do not produce intelligence because of their rank, but they will naturally attack the Scandinavians because of the undead's innate evil feelings towards the living.

No matter how powerful the berserkers are, no matter how complicated the terrain is, or how narrow the passages of the underground tunnels are, they are worthless in the face of these ghosts.

Of course, the casters in the Scandinavians can easily kill these ghosts with magic, and can easily create a safe zone to isolate the ghosts, but when they do, they also expose themselves to the eyes of the casters of the Atila Army, and then what awaits them is the indiscriminate bombardment of enemy magic, such an act of drinking to quench their thirst, not to mention that Siegmund does not allow it, and they themselves will not do it.

It can be said that the damage caused by such a large-scale creation of undead is not inferior to that of a legendary magic, and unlike legendary magic, the use of existing materials and environments to create undead does not require the consumption of any precious magic materials, does not need to gather a bunch of spellcasters together, does not need to take a long time to prepare, and can exist for a long time.

The current situation on the battlefield can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, with the appearance of the ghost army, the Scandinavians' tactics of using the terrain to delay time have completely failed, and now they will gather again to fight the Atila, and it will inevitably be a complete defeat.

Once again, the Scandinavians were cornered, and this time it was very different from the last time, this time facing the undead wreaking havoc in Uppland, and Siegmund had no means to deal with it.

"The East End has fallen, Siegmund. ”

"The West Side is about the same, and the fighters can't hold out anymore. ”

The successive bad news made everyone present frown tightly, and for these bad news, no one present could find a way and way to solve it.

"Where's the magic weapons and equipment in the warehouse, have they all been distributed?"

Siegmund kept his eyes on the map on the table in front of him, and on the map made of unknown animal skins, a large area was already covered in bright red, representing the area that had been completely occupied by the Attila army, or should it be said that it was no longer in the hands of the Scandinavians.

In the past, it was possible to take advantage of the complex terrain to carry out sneak attacks at night, launch counterattacks, pull up the nails driven by the Atila army one by one, expel the Atila army from the territory, and continue to maintain this stalemate.

But now, the night time is also the time when the undead are active and powerful, and the opponents they need are not those gnolls who are not familiar with the environment, but the ghosts who do not need to be familiar with the environment, do not need to be tired, do not need to rest, do not need to drink and eat, do not fear, complex terrain and dark nights, no longer become the help of the Scandinavians.

The territory is being compressed step by step, which is an absolutely deadly threat to the Scandinavians, which means that the bombing of the enemy's spellcasters can achieve more results, and it means that the so-called hiding of the Scandinavians has become meaningless, and a wide range of covering bombing can solve many problems.

"The distribution went on, even the weapons [they] gave us, all the ones they gave us. ”

"Weapons only become weapons when they are in the hands of the soldiers, and the kind that has always been in the warehouse is called collectibles, and the situation has reached a point where we can't keep it. ”

Scandinavia is a magically barren land, and the muscular berserkers prefer to solve all their problems with physical means, but when pure physical means can't solve the problem, these berserkers are the ones who are solved. (There are very few berserkers who can use the Rune Rune, and most of them can only be used as a means of desperation.)

Aside from spellcasters such as shamans, priests, and druids, who are scarce in the army, the only thing the Scandinavians can think of that can solve these ghosts is magical weapons.

But enchanted weapons, with the technology of the Scandinavians want to be mass-produced, it is simply impossible, in addition to those one-time magic arrows used by the elves, in the Scandinavians there are only strong people, at least people who need to be close to the legendary strength can have such weapons, after all, the stronger the person, the more the effect of the weapon, in order to obtain more powerful lethality.

In the end, the blockade of Scandinavia by Alice and Francis made the Scandinavians cut off the idea of importing weapons from outside, after all, not everyone is determined to risk the legend in order to import these weapons.

For this reason, even if they distributed all the enchanted weapons stored in the warehouse, in the hope of being able to contain the undead attack and restore the situation on the battlefield to balance again, everyone present knew how unrealistic such an idea was.

How many people died on this battlefield during this period of time? 1,000 or 10,000? Increasing this number by dozens or even a hundred times is estimated to be the final answer.

The wars of the Jeats against the Goths, the wars of the Attilas against the Scandinavians, and the wars that took place even earlier, before Beowulf was born, made every stone and every grain of dust in the land carry a resentment that cannot be dissipated.

When these resentments were awakened to form the undead, the exaggerated number was the despair of anyone who could not resist when they saw it, and Siegmund had arranged for people to go to the ground to investigate, but after paying six experienced investigators to go crazy, he still could not estimate the exact number of ghosts.

The whole sky was gray, as if shrouded in endless dark clouds, but if you look closely, it is composed of countless translucent spirits, who gather together in the sky, wandering aimlessly, but the trajectory of their actions has a certain law that is difficult to tell.

The flying troops of the Attila people, whether they were thunderbirds, wyverns or dragons, all withdrew from this airspace early, and in the face of such a terrifying number of ghosts, the legendary combat power became very small and worthless at this time, and they did not even dare to attack with magic from afar, for fear that this would cause these ghosts to counterattack.

The attacks on the ground have also come to a standstill, and these uncontrolled and unintelligent ghosts will not pay attention to them, nor will they distinguish between the living, as long as they enter their territory, they will be attacked by their mad undying.

Unlike the Scandinavians, because of the reason for death in the army, the Atila army also has a lot of dealings with the undead, so they naturally know how to deal with the relationship with the undead, how to guide them to attack their enemies, and how to avoid letting the undead's attention be on themselves.

In the past, when they conquered the Rus' steppe and Finland, they also adopted the same method when they encountered the strong cities built by the demigods, and the plague, famine and death took turns to turn the entire city into a dead city.

"What do [they] say, is there any way to deal with these undead?"

Since they can't find a solution to this problem themselves, finding someone else, asking for help from someone else becomes the only way out for these Scandinavians.

They refer to the handover of the Baltic Empire here, although it is a bit of a desire to use [them] to call them, and people with a little intelligence can easily guess the identity of [them], but for the Scandinavians here, receiving the assistance of the Baltic Empire is not a happy thing, but more of a humiliation to ask for help from the enemy, which is difficult for proud Scandinavians to accept.

"No, [they] can only provide us with more enchanted weapons, but for those ghosts, with such an exaggerated number, [they] can't come up with any substantive suggestions or methods. ”

Of course, this is certainly not the case, the vampire Alia has been to Alice's ontological death capital, and has survived there for a while, and her own vampire clan is also a kind of undead, and if she says that she has no way to deal with ghosts, then she is really talking nonsense with her eyes open and fooling these Scandinavians.

Not to mention these intelligent ghosts without intelligence, as long as Alia and her vampires are willing to take action, it is very easy to solve the problem of ghosts attacking the Scandinavians.

So the question arises, what are the benefits and benefits for Alia and the entire Baltic Empire to deal with these ghosts? At least until Semiramis and Alice's orders are given, Aria does not plan to deal with the ghosts outside, she does not see any benefit to the Empire.

"Damn it, haven't [they] thought about it? The fall of Upland, our defeat, how bad is it for [them] that [they] won't use their brains?"

Zygmund angrily hammered the table, cracking a few cracks in the hard wooden table, like a burning furnace, and the people around him felt a rush of heat.

If Alice and Semiramis knew that they were actually described by Siegmund as brainless, then they would certainly not be stingy to let him know what a careful-eyed woman is.

"Shrink, shrink all back, it's enough for us to hold the north of the city, give up all the south, west and east, and remember to me, no matter what it is, don't leave it behind, take it away for me, and destroy it for me if it can't. ”

Faced with the ghosts raging in the sewers, Siegmund had no choice but to adopt such a passive tactic, and the shrinking front represented the official bankruptcy of the idea of guerrilla warfare that they had waged, and turned into a battle against the ghosts.

But it doesn't matter, in a way, these ghosts that are scattered throughout the city have also become their best shields, and as long as these ghosts are still there, the only thing the Atilla army can do is to cast a long-range bombardment strike.

As long as all the casters are gathered together to cast counter magic, the damage caused by the blow after defending is actually still within the range of Sigmund to bear, after all, the ruins and soil layers on the ground can also weaken the magic attack.

…………

As famine and plague spread through the city, the predators who were drawn to it by the war became the first victims, and soon their corpses became the new source of the plague, and their souls became part of the army of ghosts in the sky.

Because Upland had become a ghost territory, the warriors of the Atila Army devoted all their energy to recuperating the army, except for continuing to maintain the siege of Upplam and ensuring that the Scandinavians could not break through from the inside.

Recuperation, yes, recuperation, this is very normal for other armies, but it is very rare and unfamiliar for the entire Attila army, and even many soldiers who have experienced many wars are experiencing such a formal recuperation for the first time.

There are also wounded who may be able to form a combat force have been treated, damaged weapons are being repaired urgently, those that cannot be repaired are directly rebuilt, and some raw material types obtained from Upland are directly processed on the spot, regardless of the cost increase.

The centaurs became transporters, and together with the Jackals, they traveled farther afield in search of places like forest swamps, where only abundant supplies would be available to meet the daily wear and tear of the entire Attila army.

Wyverns and Thunderbirds also came out as scouts to explore the terrain of Scandinavia and prepare for the next battle, and of course, since they were out, the food problem also needed to be solved by themselves, so that a part of the army's food shortage could be easily solved.

Then, only high-end combat power such as mammoths, white bears, and dragons remained here, and with the existence of these powerful armies, the Scandinavians could not break through at all.
