Chapter 3: Goodbye Isabella
Zhang Hao led the army to the periphery of the Oberstern Fortress after three days, and in three days, not to mention the skeleton zombies, none of them could move except for themselves and the small bats that occasionally skimmed in the sky.
But no one felt relaxed, on the contrary, the pressure was greater, the spirit was tense, and no one knew where the enemy would emerge from. The Deathclaw Legion, Imperial Captains, Battle Priests, and Witch Hunters at the outermost, the mages all fly low on Pegasus, the wool is on guard at the top, and a full Order of Cheetah Knights acts as scouts to protect the troops.
"Your Highness, the fortress is very clean, there should have been something to live here before us, and there are many stables in the fortress." The man who spoke was down to the head of the Cheetah Knights, Len.
"I have to say, I really want to hide in their territory, even if we can't find them in this unobstructed place" Zhang Hao took the eagle glasses to look around, but the result was the same, nothing moved, and the wool in the sky did not give any warning, by the way, the black cloud wool in the sky could not pass through, it was composed of extremely powerful black magic.
After three days' journey, it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night, and although it was not the kind of darkness in the middle of the night, it was not a simple thing to maintain this darkness all the time.
"Your Highness, do you want me to investigate again?" Bini was a little uneasy.
"No need, Captain Lean's investigation is naturally fine, and whoever looks at this situation will have the same result, Lilith? How's that going on with Walkmar? ”
"Your Highness, the communication crystal has not been able to connect," Lilith said and tried to contact the Grand Priest Walkmar again, but there was still no response.
"There's no need to try, my prophecy has also been blocked, I guess it's the black clouds in the sky that are doing tricks." Master Eribatti, who was riding a pegasus, flew in from the sky and told Zhang Hao and the others what he thought.
"Rest outside this fortress today, calculate the time, pass early tomorrow morning, from now on, double the number of guards, and tell all the witch hunters, what bats, crows, etc., shoot down for me." Zhang Hao pondered for a while and then began to give orders, since he couldn't be contacted, he wouldn't be contacted, Zhang Hao believed that with the help of the Burning Heart Knights, Walkema and Kroze would not have problems.
——————
Just as Zhang Hao tried to contact Walkma, Kreuz also kept contacting Zhang Hao, but the result was the same.
"No more contact, get ready to fight," Walkmar began to give the battle order from his war altar.
Schwartz Harbor is a strategic location in the province of West Silvania, directly connected to Dunkenhof Castle, the main vampire city of East Silvania, and is connected to the imperial provinces of Stir and Ivey.
Schwarzhaven has no walls, and from a distance it looks like a dilapidated town, and you don't have to walk for fear of knocking down a house.
"May Sigmar bless you! Advance! Walkmar gave the order to attack, and the infantry followed behind the Battle Priest, protecting the Light Mage in the middle, and slowly moving forward with Walkma's War Altar. Kroze led the Burning Heart to protect the artillery units.
As they approached the town, the priests and mages began to bless the warriors, and huge platinum shields lit up one by one over the heads of the battle priests.
In order to explore the way, Walkema suddenly exerted force, and the altar of war quickly rushed into the town, and the soldiers behind him also charged when they saw this, but there was nothing in the town except themselves, and Schwarzport was an empty city.
"Kroze! Send someone to Marshal Robert for help at once! Let him immediately support His Royal Highness, and you will personally take the Burning Knights to the north immediately! Walkmar sensed that something was wrong and immediately gave Croze's order.
I don't know how many people are buried in Silvania Province here, but according to the smallest Hawk Province, there are more than 100,000 civilians, and after hundreds of years, we cut half of them to count 60,000, plus the removal of greenskins and dwarves, and then reduce it by half to 30,000!? 30,000 cannon fodder is enough to bury Zhang Hao's infantry directly, this is not a small space in Utbad, this is dry land without even trees, surrounded by at least 30,000 cannon fodder, it is simply a nightmare.
"All combat priests stay! The rest of the soldiers all follow the imprint of the cavalry to support His Royal Highness! After some intense thought, Walkmar gave the final order.
Schwarz Harbor cannot be left undefended, the back is the territory, the flank is the main force of friendly forces, no matter which side is ceded to the enemy is deadly, Walkema believes in his fighting ability, and the ten battle priests also put life and death aside after receiving the order.
This is a war of national fortune, the fight is whose army is more, Zhang Hao does not come, and the vampires will come back sooner or later, then the scene of this decisive battle will inevitably take place in the empire, and it will not be the least number of those who besiege Zhang Hao.
Walkmar watched the infantry dragging their artillery to the north to support quickly, and looked at the battle priests who had already begun to build simple fortifications, all of them were the most sincere devotees of Sigma, young and energetic, and they could be promoted to priests among countless believers, which showed their own excellence, but they could be buried here forever today, and they didn't even know when and tomorrow when the imperial troops would come back again? Or the day after tomorrow? Or never...... Walkmar didn't know either, but he believed that the brilliance of Sigma would illuminate the entire continent.
"Bang Bang!" Just as Walkmar was pondering, a burst of applause came from the dilapidated building next to her, so close that no one could even notice that the Battle Priests were ready for battle with all kinds of blessings.
"Please relax, everyone, I have just returned, and I have been infected by your spirit, so I came out to meet you, hehe, only a warrior like you is worthy of being my slave, I can give you eternal life, but at the cost of licking the boots for a lifetime for me, your queen!" Coming out of the shadows is naturally the vampire Isabella the year before.
"Don't meddle, I, Walkmar, have never seen anyone who dares to make me a slave!" Walkma guessed who the person in front of him was, so there was no need to be polite, as a full-level top-level legendary powerhouse directly recruited by the system, he was not afraid of Isabella at all.
The Soul Flame of the purest faith not only possessed Walkma, but also shot wildly towards Isabella like a flame mage's ultimate skill, Impiercing Flame Bolt, covering even the entire building behind Isabella......
