"What do you say? Do you dare to lie about the military situation? Calva Sbein grabbed the herald by the collar, his piercing eyes staring at the frightened soldier in front of him.

"Honorable, honorable Legion Commander, the undead, the undead have attacked the southern camp, many undead, Lord Felister requests, ask for your support!" The herald stammered and repeated his previous words.

"The undead, where did the undead come from? Was it my eyes glazed over, or was it the idiot who was trapped in the fortress that suddenly flew over my head? "Calva never believed the information brought by the heralds, there were 20,000 soldiers stationed in the southern camp, and a very well-established defensive camp was established, so that Phylist, who commanded the southern camp, could send someone to ask for help, which meant that the number of undead far exceeded the extent that Fellister could resist, and at least more than 200,000 undead troops were needed. With such a huge build-up of troops, it is impossible not to be discovered in advance, "What about the Krk fortress?" Why is there no warning? Could it be that those undead flew from the sky? ”

The entrance to the tent was opened, and a man in the armor of an orthodox knight walked in with a piece of information: "Alright, Calva, let this poor little fellow go." ”

Calva let go of his hand and let the herald collapse to the ground, as if he had frightened the soldier so much: "Dorman, aren't you supposed to be on the front line?" ”

"I've told the siege forces to stop attacking. His Majesty had ordered Sethra and Ninri to rescue the southern camp with 10,000 men of the Guards. Dorman waved the poor herald out of the tent and said.

"Stop attacking? Dorman, are you crazy? Don't you know how much it cost us to take that dog. The mother's lich has been forced to this point? ”

At this time, it was already the fourth day after the start of the Battle of Radre. Immediately after the arrival of reinforcements from the Kingdom of Minus, a coalition of more than 200,000 troops launched an all-out assault on Castle Radre. Having previously destroyed the castle's defenses, the Minus army, logistically supported by the Kingdom of Virgil, rushed up the walls like tigers from the mountains and engaged in the most brutal hand-to-hand combat with the undead.

On the first day of the arrival of the Minas Kingdom army, a surprise coalition army against Maltan almost invaded the castle, if it weren't for Maltan himself, covering the entire city with a wide range of frost spells and a large number of magic scrolls, so that the assault force lost its follow-up strength, I am afraid that this war would be over.

And Maltan also paid a great price for this, and Jimonri and Swift, who had been waiting for a long time, took the opportunity to attack and successfully injured Maltan. If it weren't for the fact that this miser had a lot of hole cards in his hand, I am afraid that he would fall on the spot. However, this injury also made Maltan refuse to leave the protection of the army of the undead, so that the rhythm of the next day's attack was once again in the hands of the coalition forces.

Seeing that it would not be long before he could break through the walls and storm the castle to get the damn lich out, Calva was of course extremely unhappy with Dorman's decision to stop the attack.

Dorman shoved the information into Calva's arms: "Now is not the time to continue the offensive, we have to think about how to defend." ”

"Defense?" Calva was completely confused, grabbed the information, and looked at it at a glance, "No, this can't be!" Damn, what do they want to do? This is treason! What about Canning? What about Nord? I'm going to take them to court-martial, and they dare to commit adultery with the dead. ”

"Calm down! Calva! I know you want to avenge your father, the damned lich who not only killed a lot of the kingdom's civilians, but also turned your father into a puppet, but that's not a reason for you to escape from reality. Dorman changed his tone and scolded Calva loudly.

Like an old cow panting, Calva's eyes were bloodshot with anger, and he gasped several times before he finally managed to calm down: "Well, I'm sorry, Dorman, you know, I ......"

"I know, Calva, we're comrades-in-arms, aren't we?"

"Okay, so explain to me, what the hell is going on?" Calva picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip of cold water, trying to cool the anger in his heart.

"The Rock Pass was breached five days ago, no griffons escaped, and the Krk fortress, which was supposed to warn us, was attacked the night before, and no one escaped alive to report the news." Dorman's words made one of Calva's hearts sink, "This morning, a large number of undead suddenly appeared through the early morning fog and stormed the southern camp, and they are still in the midst of fierce fighting. ”

"Five days? Why didn't that old guy report it? Are the soldiers in the Krk Fortress all scarecrows? Alva's anger came back and he smashed the glass to the ground.

"Nord is dead." Dorman's words made Kalva fall into the abyss.

"Canning, where's Canning?"

"The one who led the undead in the southern camp this morning was Canning." Dorman had a sad look on his face, "He's already an undead, Calva. ”

Boom! The pale-faced Calva slumped into his seat.

Dorman knew what a blow this news would have for Calva, since the Marquis of Speyne was killed by Maltan, Calva was left with only one relative, Canning, and he didn't expect that even this last of his people died at the hands of the undead.

"Why, how can this be?" Calva's voice was hoarse, and the days of siege had clearly exhausted the commander.

"For the sake of this war, the kingdom has exposed too many weaknesses. His Majesty has transferred almost all the elites here, and you have seen the situation of these elites. One can imagine what kind of level the armies defending in various parts of the kingdom will be. ”

"Is the situation irreparable, Dorman?" Calva trembled and reached out to drink water, only to find that the glass had been smashed to the ground by himself.

"The griffin has already brought back the first batch of reconnaissance information, and the undead army that attacked the southern camp is not all, according to the scout's speculation, there should be nearly 300,000 undead in the future. Since the Krk Fortress has been lost, the province of Baria will not be spared, and I suspect that these spirits must have come from one or several towns in the province of Barya. Dorman had to tell Calva the desperate news, "The only thing we can be thankful for is that most of these undead are low-level undead, and no resemblance to bone dragons and corpse witches has been found." ”

Calva shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Dorman, you know that this is meaningless, there are too many undead, even if all of them are skeletons that shatter at the touch of a touch, they are not something that our soldiers can resist, and the non-stop siege of the city in the past few days has made us too tired." ”

"That's what I'm worried about, Kalva, it's time to convince Your Majesty to consider Dalaran's proposal." Dorman sighed lightly, and to be honest, he had been reluctant to make that decision.

"Is there no other way?" Calva asked weakly.

"Will you accept the result of letting that damn lich escape?"

"Never! I'd rather die! Calva jumped up from his seat and gritted his teeth.

"I will go with Your Majesty to see His Excellency Antonidas." Dorman nodded, got up and left the tent.

While Dorman was trying to convince Mantein, Yu Bin was inside the Krk Fortress to check what he had gained over the past few days.

The battle of Rock Point Pass was only the beginning of all this, after stabbing Nord in the back with a fatal sword, Yu Bin immediately changed his original plan, and summoned Marduk, Bunkrek and Ingman in the name of Kel'thugad, and with the addition of Vidara and a group of gargoyles assembled, Yu Bin made such an incredible decision to attack Krk Fortress.

Of course, it was difficult for Marduk to understand where Yu Bin's confidence came from, only he knew that the poor performance of the Virgil Kingdom Army in the camp war a few years later in his previous life, and the strong support of the Cursed Sect, were his biggest reliance.

And the success of the sneak attack on the Krk fortress also made all doubts about him disappear.

What happened next was a logical one. With the loss of the Krk fortress, the kingdom's army, which was scattered in various cities, was unable to regain its territory at all, and could only barely ensure that its city was not invaded. The entire province of Baria is full of refugees fleeing. With the help of Lady Farina, the heroic necromancer Ingman succeeded in repeating the tragedy of the city of Andorhar, turning an entire city into a paradise for the undead, and more than half a million civilians turned into undead, driven by Buncraik towards Radre Castle.

According to the intelligence that came back two hours ago, this undead warrior successfully flooded the southern camp of the coalition with the sea of the undead, and more than 10,000 human soldiers were killed in the battle, and the human coalition forces outside Radre Castle had to switch from offense to defense and began to strengthen the camp with all their might.

But that's enough! In the future, Marduk will stand still, relying on an army of more than half a million undead, and it is impossible for the human coalition to leave the camp and attack on its own initiative at a huge risk. And Martan, who saw hope, would surely seize the opportunity to emerge from Castle Radre and join forces with this reinforcement that would turn his defeat into victory.

No matter what Dalaran and Manteine Virgil were up to, they had to open the final hole cards in advance!

The door creaked open, and it was Alan who entered. The room where Yu Bin was originally the residence of the Knight of Canning, and it was apparently requisitioned by Yu Bin now.

"The Jedar Pass was breached by retreating human defenders, and the undead army there had to make a detour to Marshall Mountain." Alan looked dusty, "Those guys are so quick to react. ”

"This is normal, if it were me, I would not have put those precious forces there for the enemy to break through." Yu Bin didn't raise his head, "What about Marduk?" ”

"Choosing soldiers outside, it seems that the undead knights transformed by those human knights make him very satisfied, and you let that guy take these high-ranking soldiers away so easily? Isn't your Naxxramas in need of soldiers? ”

Now Naxxramas has a certain amount of self-preservation, so Yu Bin no longer keeps this secret tight. Alan, they were among the first to know.

"It's not the time yet." Yu Bin handed a piece of information to Alan, "Look at this." ”

"Military movements in the province of Pamela? What's wrong? I think it's normal! Alan glanced at the information and said.

Yu Bin tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table: "Queen Fiona of the Almeria Empire has long been eyeing the Minas Kingdom, and according to the information provided by the Cursed Sect, the noble faction of the Minas Kingdom is secretly supporting the queen. Now that Laclaus has joined the war with almost all of the country's mobile forces at the instigation of Dalaran, what do you think the queen would do if the Battle of Radre ended in victory for the undead? ”

"You mean, take the opportunity to annex the Kingdom of Mynas?" Alan was dumbfounded by Bin's speculation.

"The annexation may not be enough, but it will greatly damage the reputation of the Almerian Empire. But I think that queen will at least prop up a sufficiently obedient spokesperson to become the new king of the kingdom of Minas. ”

"Isn't that right? It won't hurt you if human beings start infighting! Or do you think there's something wrong with this? Alan felt that Yu Bin was too careful.

"Although the Cursed Sect is strong, it's a pity that they can't penetrate Dalaran." Yu Bin sighed, "I'm not worried that the Almeria Empire will come to stir up the situation, what I'm worried about is Dalaran's reaction." ”

For the Cursed Sect of Kel'thugad, perhaps the only place in the world where it is impossible to develop cultists is Dalaran, and every floating city in Dalaran is shrouded in various detection spells, including [Detect Evil], a spell that can easily detect whether the target has an evil reaction.

Therefore, Yu Bin now has no idea what Dalaran will do.

"I think you're overthinking. Even if those mages want to get involved, that's okay, anyway, our goal has already been achieved, isn't it? ”

"You're right, maybe I'm overthinking." Yu Bin nodded, no matter what kind of reaction Dalaran would make next, for Martan, if he wanted to survive, there was only one option: evacuating Radre Castle.

"I think it's better to think about how to make sure we catch Martan in the first place, rather than thinking about how to prevent Dalaran from being the first to do so." Alan found a seat and sat down, and said.

"Don't worry about that, I've found it." Yu Bin closed the information at hand and said to Alan with a smile.

"Really?" Hearing Yu Bin say this, Alan stood up from his seat overjoyed and rubbed his hands, "So what should I do next?" ”

Yu Bin pressed his hand and signaled Alan not to get excited: "A lich's life box is not so easy to take, especially the life box made by the great wizard Griman himself. Unfortunately, if Maltan hadn't been so eager for revenge, maybe he would have been able to make a more secret life box himself. Kel'thugad had fought alongside the Grand Sorcerer Griman and was able to easily find Gryman's remaining soul fluctuations. ”

"Hehe, when that idiot finally finds out that his lifebox is in our hands, I'd love to see what looks on that skeleton's face."

"The premise is that Maltan must escape alive. So, let Keldila and the others be optimistic about Buncraike, and not move too fast to make those humans feel hopeless of winning, nor too slow to make people see that they are on their feet. ”

"Don't worry, it's 500,000 undead, and you can't get up fast even if you want to. However, I have to admit that as long as I hadn't tried it myself, who would have known that most of those 500,000 troops were parallel goods. "The actions of the past few days have obviously brought Ailan into contact with a lot of undead armies.

"The impact of quantity is more likely to lead people to the wrong idea than quality. Okay, it's time for us to talk to Marduk, he's our second line of insurance. ”
