Frostleaf City.

It was originally the most prosperous city in the south. Peace, tranquility and prosperity are the main themes here, but now, the inevitable war is on the way.

The whole city was already covered with a tense, serious atmosphere, and the streets were full of soldiers constantly running, and horse-drawn carriages pulled boxes and boxes of military supplies were sent to the south gates.

The streets that used to be bustling are now depressed, and there are very few people in a hurry to walk by.

In a small building in the southern part of the city, where the windows of every room are nailed with wooden boards, a young mother holds her young son and comforts her softly

"Don't cry, don't cry, baby don't be afraid..."

Standing at the door of the room, the father was smoking cigarettes, and in the room lay an elderly man on the bed.

"Xiaojun, I said don't smoke, Dad's health is not good, don't let the smell of smoke choke Dad. The young mother said with a frown.

"Am I not standing at the door?" said the man's face with a worry that he couldn't hide even though he was smoking, "and he knew when this damn disaster was going to be a head." ”

"We're okay, the cities further south are ruined. The young mother sighed helplessly. "We are alive at least for now. ”

"Alas, the war has come here, and we are getting more and more dangerous, if those soldiers at the entrance of the city can't withstand it, won't we be finished?"

"It's useless for you to say this now, the Governor's Mansion has begun to move the population through Xingzhu Avenue, but we civilians are not qualified for the time being, and it will be our turn when those rich people are gone. ”

"Money, money, money! Won't the world leave a way for us poor people to live?"

"What do you say?"

The husband and wife glanced at each other, their eyes full of helplessness, in any era, people have never been equal.

Wealth, strength, power, divide people into three, six, nine, and so on.

The family here is not an isolated exception, similar conversations take place in thousands of families throughout Hanzhu City, panic and anxiety flow in people's hearts.

In a small remote courtyard in Beicheng District, the young man put on the [military uniform] he received only a few days ago, and he didn't know how to wear this kind of clothes, so he didn't button it well for half a day.

The old mother at the door couldn't look at it, so she rushed over and patiently helped the young man sort out his clothes.

"That's how people wear their spirits!" the old mother whispered, looking at her dignified son in front of her, and her face slowly had a look of relief.

"Son, in fact, my mother doesn't want you to join the [Volunteer Army], although your father used to teach you what [boys are born to defend the country]... You also know your father's temperament, he is stubborn in this regard, he wants to be a soldier, but he can't come back in the north... Now you've finally grown up... I... I really don't want to—" The elderly mother cried quietly, fearing that her child would remain on the battlefield forever like his father.

"Mom. The young man gently hugged the old mother and slowly patted her on the back. "Men should be self-reliant, your son and I are still a powerful professional, don't worry, my son and I will definitely be fine!"

After hugging the old mother for a while, the young man turned away ruthlessly, and the military uniform on his body seemed to be shining in the sun.

Mom, please forgive me for my unfilial piety, I have to do this, and I will do my part to protect this place, and only by guarding this place can you be safe.

Thousands of people in military uniforms rushed to the south of the city, some of them were old mercenaries who had been in the city for many years, some were recent graduates of the academy, and some were veterans who had already been discharged from the army.

They came out with ideals, they are part of the new [Volunteer Army], and they swear to protect this city to the death, because this city has the people they care about the most.

On top of the southern city wall.

On the southern wall of Frostleaf City, which stretched for ten miles, the soldiers with serious eyes looked at the blood cloud that was getting closer and closer to the south, and they clearly knew that it was a disaster that brought destruction, and under the blood cloud was an endless "ocean" of undead creatures.

It's as if hell and earth have coincided at some point.

Most of the soldiers looked blankly at the approaching blood cloud, and a black outline had appeared on the horizon in the distance.

The old Southern General suddenly appeared on top of the best castle tower, holding a trumpet-shaped amplification magic guide machine in his hand.

"Brothers, the catastrophe that destroys our homeland is coming, those filthy undead have caused too much damage to our country, I don't know how many families have been destroyed by them, I don't know how many compatriots have been poisoned, we, as giants of the empire, we should take our responsibility as soldiers!"

"Today, we are going to be ashamed here, how can we, as glorious imperial soldiers, allow the enemy to attack? We must blow the horn of counterattack! We will regain the lost land and save our compatriots who are still waiting for us in the shelter, and we will let these filthy undead always remember the strength of our Xingzhu Imperial soldiers with their souls!"

Under General Zhao's impassioned voice, the nearly one million troops gathered in the city erupted into enthusiastic shouts.

"We're going to fight here!" General Zhao said categorically, his old eyes, which were already a little cloudy, became bright again!

On the city wall, nearly a thousand white pillars of light lit up, and they shot straight towards the approaching sea of the undead in the distance! The sound of serial explosions became louder and louder, and the magic power in this area began to become disordered.

"Assault the whole army, target, break the enemy army!"

The southern gate of the city was opened, and the human race finally stopped passively defending in this skyless undead catastrophe, but took the first step in the counterattack!

White armor, handsome white horses, the first to appear is the ace unit of the Eastern Legion, [Holy Knights]!

A total of 1,000 advanced professionals, the [Paladins] used the charge, with unprecedented courage and morale, rushing into the sea of undead!

This [Holy Knights] tore a big hole in the boundless sea of undead like sharp knives, and countless undead were shattered under the spears and blades of the paladins, and their souls were crushed by the aura of light carried by the paladins.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of troops plunged into the breach torn by the Holy Knights, and for a time the momentum was like a bamboo.

The full-scale contact war broke out!

The glow of magic lit up in the sea of the dead one after another, and in the distance, above the city wall, the magic cannon array had already shifted the target to the sky.

At this time, under the leadership of the [Sky Knights], the ace unit of the Western Legion, on the side of Frostleaf City, there are a total of close to 1,005 [Sky Knights], and close to 5,000 [Sky Knights] are facing the enemy in the air for the first time, they are originally warriors galloping in the blue sky!

Each Pegasus Knight carries an amulet that the priests of the city have made overnight, and with the blessing of light, they tear a path through the "black cloud" of black wraiths.
