The idea of garrisoning in Raging Bear Town and preparing to fight to the death with the army of the undead was immediately rejected by Paran. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is the way to die.

When 30,000 undead swarmed in, they relied on the 10,000 people under their command and the dilapidated defenses of Raging Bear Town, fighting with so many undead?

If that group of undead armies is just the same group that they encountered in Raging Bear Town, which is generally composed of skeletons and zombies, it is not that they are not capable of fighting. Low-level skeletons and zombies are indeed inferior in combat power.

However, according to the information sent by the frontline scouts, although there are certain zombies and skeleton warriors in the enemy's undead army, there are quite a few ghouls as the main force and more powerful black warriors!

What's more, a large number of heavily armed swordsmen wearing dark armor and holding two-handed swords have also been found in the enemy army, and even have the ability to unleash some specific dark spells during battle. There was a scout squad that ran into a lone swordsman like this. Five elite scouts went up to besiege one of them, and although they were finally killed, three of the five scouts were killed and two were wounded.

You know, those who can be scouts are all elites in the army!

According to the rewards of the living scouts, there were at least two thousand such heavily armed swordsmen, whom they called cursed swordsmen.

At the same time, this army of the undead has another important characteristic - most of the undead have pointed and long ears.

This is a trait exclusive to elves, which represents the undead army of the Cursed Church, who were overwhelmingly elves during their lifetime.

Paran remembered a rumor that had been circulating in the upper echelons of the kingdom after Cecilia had returned from the Dark Jungle that the court of Nancy's elves had been completely corrupted by the Cursed Church.

That was years ago.

If the Church of the Damned really has a very strong control over the Nancy Court, then what if millions of elves have been transformed into undead?

It's a terrifying thing to think about!

Not to mention Hindlaire, even if the entire Holy Alliance is pulled together, it is estimated that it will be difficult to purify so many undead, right?

The elven population of Nancy's royal court is at least two million or more. Even if only one-tenth of the elves were poisoned by the cursed church and transformed, that would be a very terrifying number!

But now is not the time to think about things so far ago, and in the current situation, Paran must ensure the safety of this force in his hands, otherwise the whole of Florence will face a desperate situation.

Therefore, they must not garrison Raging Bear Town, because they will definitely not be able to defeat the undead army that emerged from the Forest of the Four Wilds.

The only options left are to retreat west and rescue Blackwood City.

This is where the choice is most tangled.

Retreat to the west, which should be the safest. The undead in Raging Bear Town are no longer to be feared, and further west, although there are still many undead who have entered the interior of the Pudri Kingdom, the number is actually not too much, at least it can't defeat the Sixth Legion he is now leading.

It's a life-saving option.

But what next? Blackwood City will fall, 30,000 undead will march eastward, and in Bauhinia City, the garrison led by Colonel Chandler will also be unable to stop the army of the undead. This would represent the complete fall of the entire Duchy of Florence, and the Bull Marquis is unlikely to survive.

What's the point of Naparan preserving his Sixth Legion?

Then there is only one option left, rush to the rescue of Blackwood City, and try to keep the army of the undead to the north. If you can't do it, you have to choose to retreat, and you have to retreat to the east, to the city of Bauhinia, to slow down the pace of the undead attack as much as possible, and strive to be able to drag on until the kingdom's support arrives - the least bottom line is that the city of Bauhinia cannot be lost.

After a moment's hesitation, Paran was already about to do so.

However, before he could hurry back to Blackwood City, he had one more problem to settle - Sir Karn's troops.

A few days earlier, Karn's troops, who had been rescued, had arrived at Blackwood with only two thousand men. In the follow-up, in the process of leading the Sixth Legion to the west to sweep the undead, some more were rescued one after another.

By now, there were already 3,000 Holy Alliance troops in Paran's army at this moment.

Karn was absorbed into the command of the army for the sake of ease of command, and the armies of the Holy Alliance were reorganized.

Originally, the interests of both sides were identical. The wars and conflicts that may arise between them arise because of misunderstandings; Once the misunderstanding is resolved, the common enemy, the undead, is enough to tie both sides to the same trench.

But now, if Paran was to abandon his plans to go west and return to Blackwood instead, Karn would not be able to agree.

His ultimate goal is to return to the kingdom of Pudri with the survivors of the Holy Alliance's army, who have no intention of helping Hindlaire and protecting Florence.

They can follow the Sixth Legion all the way to the west, to the territory of the kingdom of Pudri, and fight the undead. But it would be unrealistic for them to return to Blackwood City and fight the undead for the benefit of Hindlaire.

However, Paran did not want to let them go.

The Sixth Legion under his command now had only 7,000 men. Counting the defenders in Blackwood City, there are only less than 10,000. With such strength, it is too weak to fight against the army of the undead.

Paran hoped to get Karn's troops to fight with him. Although the addition of these 3,000 people will not make a particularly big difference to the overall balance of power, any increase in strength is valuable.

How to convince Karn?

Paran knew that he would not be able to convince Karn, nor would he be able to make these Holy Alliance soldiers willingly die for him.

But he wasn't going to do that.

If you can't be willing, it doesn't really matter. As long as these soldiers go with them to fight the undead, it doesn't matter if they are reluctant.

Coercion is the most time-saving method.

Sir Karn was of course very unhappy about the coercion, and he strongly protested to Paran, and made some 'irrational' actions, but in the end he was suppressed by Palan, and in the end he had to obey.

The reason for this is simple: Sir Karn had 3,000 men under his command, and all the supplies were in the hands of the Hindlaires. If they go their separate ways and make an unpleasant fuss, they will be starved of food immediately.

With Sir Karn's own power, it may not be a problem to destroy the undead in Raging Bear Town, but it may be more difficult to continue westward.
