Deep in the mountains of the Okad Federation.

A basin on the edge of a few dozen miles from the dwarven city of Omas.

The sky was overcast. Admiral Armstrong gave a proper military salute to Speaker Nicholas in front of him. The young and hard-working admiral was not yet forty years old, and a few strands of white silk had already grown on his temples.

"Lord Commander," Admiral Armstrong said in a low voice, "the troops are deployed. No matter how daring dwarves break through, they don't want to leave the city of Omas. ”

The news of the Dwarven King's rebellion has already terrified the entire Okad. Most of Okad's troops were subordinate to lords at all levels, and Speaker Nicholas could directly command only a small half, and nearly 100,000 people were stationed in the Five Nations Alliance that had not yet been returned, and after deducting the part left in the various earthquake deterrent princes, the number of those who were assembled by Admiral Armstrong to quell the rebellion was only 60,000 at this time.

Omars is a city of caves carved into a mountain. There are more than 40,000 dwarves living in the city, and more than half of them are brave and strong, not to mention that women and old men are also fierce warriors for dwarves. With the 60,000 men in the hands of Admiral Armstrong, it is difficult to capture Omas.

Omas, known as the "City That Never Falls", has never been conquered in history. The great city of pure white was breached from within when the kingdom was changed to a legal state, the imperial capital of the empire, Phoenix, was also bombed by the emperor who watched the throne, the old capital of Okad, Bennetash, was attacked four times, and even the beautiful elven city of Helena was poisoned by the flames of war. Only the ancient capital of the dwarves, Omas, has not fallen for more than a thousand years.

Even the high-level mages of the Blue Ocean couldn't blast open the giant gate of Omas. Legend has it that during a war hundreds of years ago, the mountains of Omars withstood a meteor summoned by a legendary mage. Since then, no one has dared to make an attempt to storm Omas.

Storming is impossible. Siege? Blockading Omars is not difficult. But the city of Omass contains ancient magical methods, and the stored food alone is enough to easily feed the entire city for years. If this kind of attrition continues, it will be the besieging troops who will be the first to enter the dilemma of "sitting and waiting to die".

Speaker Nicholas nodded slightly. Admiral Armstrong also knew that the capture of Ormas City was unrealistic, and he blocked the gates. It is believed that the Speaker will also choose to negotiate with the dwarves under a stalemate, like the Okadian rulers in the past.

But this time the admiral ...... Admiral Armstrong was wrong.

"Armstrong," Speaker Nicholas whispered, "there is great glory before you. Do you crave glory, General? ”

"No soldier will refuse glory, Commander-in-Chief." Admiral Armstrong said.

"Then get ready for honor, Armstrong," said Speaker Nicholas, "and you will be the first general ever on the clouds to break through the Dwarven City." ”

Admiral Armstrong looked shocked.

"With all due respect, with our current strength, it is impossible to break through the city of Omas."

"What do you want, General?"

"Ten times the strength of the opposing side...... At least 200,000 people. Then, it is necessary to blast open the gates of the city of Omas. Then I will be sure to take Omarth and present the head of the traitor dwarf king before you. ”

"That's right. All right. And I will give you another 140,000 troops, and the breach in the city of Omaz. Enjoy the battle, General. ”

"But I don't understand ......?" The Admiral's face was full of doubt, "Your mana is more than all the legendary mages in history, but where is the ......?" ”

An unpredictable smile appeared on Speaker Nicholas's vicissitudes of life. He walked toward the interior of the basin, Admiral Armstrong following him. The boots of the two stepped on the wet black dirt.

"Think about it, General. We are not in the tent of the big camp now, but here. What is this place? ”

"This is the Basin of the Dead, Commander."

Needless to say. Only a few years ago, the basin was not called that. During the Civil War, the dwarves stood by and watched from the fortified city, while the fiercest battles broke out in the nearby mountains, including the most terrifying meat grinder-like battles of the Civil War. Along with the battle, several rising generals appeared in the Okard army, but many more soldiers were laid to rest here forever.

"If the dead still think, will they be willing to die, General?"

"I don't think so, Commander," Admiral Armstrong thought for a moment, "and the mages always say things like 'death is only the beginning of a new adventure,' and that's because they are not immune from death. If it is possible to be resurrected from death, it must be happy for the deceased. ”

"If the victims of war could come back from their deaths, would they be willing to take up arms again, General?" The Speaker asked.

"To hell with those cowards, true warriors will never run away from the battle that is coming!" The general replied loudly.

In front of the two of them, a series of graves emerged. Some of the graves don't even have their names written on them. At the height of the fighting, many of the dead were buried without even tombstones. After the end of the war, many soldiers who died elsewhere were also transported here for burial.

At this time, the basin of the dead was the resting place of nearly 300,000 deceased. Nearly half of them are soldiers who have been loyal to the parliament...... Most of the victims under the Speaker's command are buried here.

"General. If you die, will you come back from the kingdom of eternal sleep and die for me again? If I ordered you to command an army returned from death, would you be honored, or disgraced? ”

"As long as it is the army you have given me, no matter what they are or who the opponent is, I will not hesitate!" Admiral Armstrong said.

Speaker Nicholas smiled with satisfaction.

"My research has yielded gratifying results, General," he said, "but I have no way of repairing their physiognomy and intelligence at the moment, but to make them simply fight for me and understand simple orders." I know you're still thinking about your wife's resurrection......"

"I'm sure you'll bring me that day."

"Very well," said the Speaker, "look at these tombstones—under each one lies a heroic soul who once served me. Now, I'll see if they're willing to keep fighting for me. It will be seen whether they will choose the opportunity to prove their glory again, or whether they will be willing to settle for this disgraceful death! ”

Speaker Nicholas took a step into the air. As if there was an invisible successor to him, the Speaker walked step by step to the sky directly above the basin. His brown mage robes fluttered in the wind.

As long as you take this step, there is no turning back.

There was no confusion in Speaker Nicholas's falcon-like eyes. His majestic voice resounded throughout the basin, echoing in the endless mountains.

……

On a hillside, a red-haired male looked up at the sky.

"It's finally begun." He smiled eerily.

……

Somewhere on the top of a mountain, the black-robed "Emperor of the Eternal Night" Peter? Cliff watched it all.

"Stupid," he muttered to himself, "but practical." ”

……

"Pale Moon" Levy? One of Fedorovich's doppelgangers opened his eyes.

Floating in the air, he hid his figure, silently taking in everything Speaker Nicholas had done.

"Lord of the Falcon......" "Pale Moon" shook his head slightly, "Turn yourself into the will of the army of the dead." More than the teacher? Not ......"

……

"Who?"

"Who's talking?" In the distant barracks, the Speaker's voice reached the ears of Okad's soldiers.

"It's the Speaker," said one of the veterans, excitedly, "I've heard his voice!" ”

For many creeps, the great legendary mage is tantamount to a god. Many people knelt down directly in the direction from which the sound came.

……

Speaker Nicholas's words thundered through the sky. The hustle and bustle of the barracks has long since fallen completely silent.

"Lonely, Nisis? The son of Best, the 'half-breed of the South', the Speaker of the Federation of Okad, the Supreme Consul and the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, hereby declares to our whole army, and to the whole world. ”

From generals to soldiers, everyone in Okad's army listened to the commander's voice that seemed to sound directly from the depths of his heart.

"In the past, thieves swarmed, the people were struggling to make a living, and all the soldiers used their lives to get a peaceful and prosperous world for all the people. However, the evil has not been eliminated, the scourge of war is endless, the foreign enemy is around, and the internal strife is still frequent. To this day, even stubborn and corrupt people such as the Dwarven King, when provoked by foreign enemies, try in vain to disobey Lone's will. I don't know...... The mantis arm is used as a car, and it is self-defeating! ”

"The mantis arm is a car, and it will kill itself!"

"The mantis arm is a car, and it will kill itself!" Many young and vigorous minions shouted.

Speaker Nicholas paused. He was waiting for the soldiers to quiet down. Finally, the most important moment has come.

"Lonely, Nicholas? Best, the only descendant of the great Okad, ruled over the whole of Okad by the will of his ancestors. Since he came to power, he has also worked hard and has never slackened for a day. The glory of the lone is the glory of Ocard, the will of the lone is the will of Ocard, and the lone is Ocard! ”

Some of the people with a modicum of knowledge were still thinking about what the Speaker's words meant, but most of the soldiers cheered. They were all descendants of Speaker Nicholas, who said that his will was Okade's...... Then this invincible will is destined to be fulfilled by them!

"Lone hereby declares: From now on, Lone should uphold the will of his father, abandon the surname 'Best', and regain the name of 'Okad'. From this day forward, Lonely, Lord of Falcons and leader of Ocard, will be the leader of 'Nicholas? The name of Okad commands the whole land! ”

"Okad!"

"Great Okad!"

Tsunami of joy. Speaker Nicholas stared at all this with a blank face. That's exactly what he's after.

"We ask to be in the fight immediately!" Many yelled.

"Soldiers! The power of loneliness is the power of Ocard. Wherever he is alone, Okad is invincible. Wherever you go...... There was a miracle that struck. Now, keep your eyes open and look at the reinforcements that Lone has brought for you! ”

The earth trembled slightly. The tombstone emitted a sparkling blue and purple fireflies.

"O soldiers who sleep here, whether you were friends or foes with Lone in your lifetime, if you are not willing to die permanently, stand up and fight for Lone, for Okad! You will prove that you are not the losers of the battlefield, and you will once again use your weapons to make the enemy feel endless remorse and fear! ”

Rumble!

A bony hand burst out of the ground. Then the second, then the third.

From ten to hundred. From a hundred to a thousand. From thousands to thousands.

Even if the soul has long been gone.

Even if only the dry white bones remain.

Countless soldiers are still alive, retaining the last will of their lives.

Fight.

Only the skeleton of the voice has long been unable to speak. Even so, hundreds of thousands of legions of the undead still raised their arms and opened their mouths, revealing their black teeth, as if celebrating their "resurrection from the dead".

The vast majority of soldiers do not yet know what their commander-in-chief has done. There are a few people who want to understand it with a look of fear on their faces, but even if many more people figure it out, they only become more and more fanatical.

Only Admiral Armstrong was agitated and worried. The thrill is that this is an absolutely loyal legion; The concern was that he didn't have enough weapons to arm them.

"The Commander-in-Chief has ordered me to prepare several times as many ordnance," thought the general, "but only a small part of it." ”

"Now, follow my steps." Speaker Nicholas coldly ordered.

……

Just an hour later.

A pure white thunderbolt pierced the sky. The thunder was so solemn and holy that many pious soldiers could not help but bow down on their knees. There were also many people who were terrified when they saw the army of the undead, and they also dispelled their thoughts when they saw this scene.

The mountain where the dwarven city of Omars is located, the thunder that has been summoned by Speaker Nicholas has cracked a huge gap. The hideous scar on the mountain, as if to declare Nicholas? Okad's unrivaled greatness.

That's where the dwarven armory is located. Before the hurried dwarves could react, an army of undead had already poured into the gap.

"The city of Omas...... No, the dwarves are finished. A veteran of dwarven blood muttered to himself.
