"Chapter 175: One-sided Advance"

The outskirts of Ulenbes, Kirkax, is a humble but very important town. Although the town is small and the land is not fertile, the Kuba Legion has attached great importance to this area for www.biquge.info the previous ten years, and the importance of Kirkax is second only to Ulembes. There is only one reason for this, as Kirkaux is the only town directly bordering the Legion and the Alliance's hinterland. If the Legion doesn't want to bypass the Great Forest and attack the Free Cities Alliance's defenses directly, it can only pass through here. In the previous eight or nine years, the Legion had spent a great deal of effort establishing it as a militarized town, turning Kirkax into the front line and defensive fortress of the Legion's offensive alliance.

The Legion attaches too much importance to the location here, and even when it can't open the pot, it will not reduce the garrison and investment here. And at the moment when the kingdom's troops were attacking, Kirkax also held out for two days with an absolute disadvantage when covering the retreat of the inhabitants of the city, because in the design of the legion, even the direction of Ulembes was always in a state of key defense! Until Nok, who had regained a trace of vitality, split the sturdy outer wall and gate with an axe, the Fourth Legion of the Kingdom, which had a tenfold advantage in strength and a good quality advantage, failed to climb the small city wall once! The strong positional fortification and defensive superiority of the Third Army of the Kingdom were vividly demonstrated in this war.

The advance troops of the Fourth Legion suffered a heavy loss here, but they were certainly happy to see their enemies suffer even more casualties in front of the barrel-like fortress. Therefore, although the resources and troops were not sufficient, the advance force still repaired the damaged city wall as much as possible, and also stationed a garrison of nearly two people, which was already one-third of the strength of the kingdom's advance force. On the outskirts of Kirkax, the Advance Team's accompanying craftsmen and magicians set countless traps and magical traps to defend against the Alliance's forces that could arrive at any moment.

Although the two sides have been in a stalemate for ten days apart by dozens of kilometers, the advance army of the Kingdom has not relaxed, their experience and quality far exceed that of the rabble of the alliance, they know that the opponent's attack is only a matter of time, and they must defend long enough to know that the large army of volunteers is coming. The kingdom's troops have been sticking to their posts, and the kingdom's sentinels are constantly wandering around the villages and towns where both sides are buffered. The Kingdom's advance forces felt that although their methods were not perfect, they also believed that it was foolproof to detect the opponent's attack. They are somewhat aware of the current major changes within the alliance, but they still adhere to their own opinion, they believe that although the integration of the alliance is effective, it will affect the deployment of the two eastern armies, and once the two easterners are dragged down by the mud of the alliance, they will not have too much strength to attack the kingdom troops in a short time. Therefore, although the kingdom's advance force has made a lot of preparations, they have not further strengthened the defense of the border between the two sides, and they think that it is enough. And the facts proved how terrible their plan was.

The expected attack arrived, but unexpectedly, this massive, almost terrifying army arrived at night! That night, the cannon roared like thunder, and the light of the fire was clearly visible from several kilometers away. The magic trap is either destroyed by a dense artillery cannon, or triggered by a large cluster of skeletons, which eliminate a group of skeletons, after which an army of tens of thousands will rush through the position before the trap. The sentinels of the kingdom had no time to flee back, and the way ahead of the army was made by the undead group hidden in the dark clouds of the night and the goblin gangs quietly advancing under the guidance of the undead. In the space of a night, the flames of war burned through the entire buffer zone, and the kingdom strongholds and sentinels along the way were directly engulfed in flames, and large areas of traps were rendered useless in front of the sea of skeletons that feared death. And as the army passed by, with the wonderful pink mist, dozens of skeleton tombstones appeared in the town in the buffer area, and began to continuously replenish the lost skeleton soldiers in the front.

Even the elite troops of the kingdom have never seen such troops, such a way of fighting. In the darkness of the night, the defenders of the kingdom of Kirkax could only watch as the sea of torches and endless cannon fire covered them, and the traps were activated one by one, but to little avail. In that case, no one in the town dared to go out to fight...... In just one night's work, the land outside the city was plowed by artillery fire, all the newly built traps were reimbursed, and the troops outside the city had advanced to the bottom of the city.

Looking at the huge force that appeared overnight, even the elite of the Fourth Legion felt fear and terrible pressure. Tens of thousands of powerful troops exuded a suffocating aura, the murderous aura of the barbarian army completely overflowed the city, and the boundless sea of skeletons also made people tremble, the terrifying pressure made people feel suffocated, even the elite troops of the kingdom knew that they could not compete with this terrible army.

But for the officers guarding the town, their anxiety was far greater than that of ordinary soldiers. They sent someone to deliver the news to Ulumbes last night, but because of the dark night, they completely misestimated the number and strength of the other party, they only knew that the other party had cannons, and there were many people, but they never expected that the strength of the other party would be so strong, so powerful that it was desperate! New news had been delivered, but he was not sure that the messenger would be able to deliver it to Ulembes. Not just because of the swift and ferocious undead brigade in the heavens, which was constantly searching for their messengers, but because he knew that his letter had been delivered too late. He knew that the town was a small fortress capable of holding back hundreds of men from the kingdom's armies. But he was now well aware of the strength of the other party, and it was impossible for them to survive the attack of such a terrible army.

That large army went on the offensive, far more in size and firepower than they had imagined. Under the all-out attack of this huge army, their defenses seemed so weak. Soon, the skeleton army was stacked into a tower, even the magic range attack could not stop them, and the barbarians dragged the cannon only a few dozen meters from the gate, and the dwarf gunners continued to bombard the gate of the town. In less than two hours, the kingdom's defenses were engulfed by a sea of skeletons, the giant's iron fist broke through the walls and gates, and a tidal wave of troops poured into the small fortress, killing all the enemies...
