South Anker, a city on the southwestern frontier of the kingdom, is only 70 kilometers away from the Free Cities Alliance, so it has been the turnover place of the kingdom's troops against the alliance for several years, and South Anker has also earned enough gold coins because of the continuous transfer of materials and trade in the territory, from a small town belonging to Anker has developed into an independent border trade city, and still enjoys the war dividends generated between the kingdom and the Free Cities Alliance.

In the city of South Anker, the lord of the city, Maravich, was receiving several embarrassed officers at this time, and listened very carefully to their narrations.

"It's really terrible, I didn't expect the lamb to have grown into a bad wolf, you can't be blamed for the loss of this war, it can only be said that the strength of the other party is too strong, it has exceeded our imagination." After listening to the officers' complaints, Malavich pondered for a while and finally comforted them with these words.

In fact, Malavich didn't quite believe that there would be such a terrifying force on the side of the alliance, and he didn't believe in any powerful sky battle masters, as well as endless skeleton armies. But the truth is in front of you, the front-line corps must have failed, and Maravich believes that they exaggerated the strength of the other side to cover up their defeat. But even so, Maravich had to appease them, because defeat was failure, and the 30,000-strong army was directly annihilated, and Maravich estimated that the opponent's strength was half of it, if not so exaggerated.

"Thank you, Lord Castle. Now that our troops have been completely wiped out, but we cannot die in order to report the enemy's intelligence to His Majesty, we hope that you will write a letter to His Majesty and apologize for our guilt by the way. The officer at the head of the army saluted respectfully, and handed Maravich a rough note containing some of his improvised descriptions of the war.

"No problem, I will report your intentions to His Majesty the King in its entirety." Maravich took the note and assured them.

"Ah, thank you very much, my lord, I'm afraid few people will believe what we say now." The officer was so moved by Maravich's words that he saluted respectfully and sat down again.

"Actually, I don't believe it either, but I must hand over your information, otherwise I will be the one who loses my official position." Maravich thought so, but he still had the same smile on his face.

"Then please rest in South Anker now, and I will send the news back to the royal capital." Maravich said to the officers.

"My lord, the strength of the rebels is so strong, I hope you will be prepared in case they attack, although we are small, we will also help you hold the city." After the officers discussed with each other, the lead officer stood up and spoke.

"Rest assured, the lamb may have turned into a wolf, but with the strength of the rebels, they will not have the heart to attack us." Malavich smiled at the advice of the officers, and had been doing secret business with the people of the alliance for seven or eight years, and he had roughly understood the thoughts of those officials of the alliance.

"My lord, for that oriental...... "For those officers, the city lord's performance was not a good thing, so they planned to tell the city lord about the other party's terrible, but at this time, the city sentries had already rushed into the hall.

"Enemy! Countless enemies! The sentry shouted wildly, and when he heard this, everyone in the hall was stunned.

"Enemies? They called?! Maravich looked incredulous, and trotted out, daring in the direction of the city wall. Although those officers knew the strength of the other party, they were still shocked by the speed of the other party and followed out.

…………

At the top of the city, Maravich looked far away, and from the other side of the horizon, a white color continued to advance, becoming wider and wider.

"The gods are above!"

Malavich looked at the approaching white skeleton army, his body involuntarily trembled, his strength was not low, there were quasi-senior warriors, but in front of this ocean-like skeleton army, he felt so small and helpless.

He probably estimated the number of these skeleton troops from the width of the opponent's formation, which was definitely above 100,000! Faced with this level of confrontation, he knew he had no chance at all.

"My lord, as we said, the other side is far larger and more powerful than we imagined," the officer said, and then asked Maravich what he thought. "What are we going to do? My lord. ”

"What else can I do? I only have a ragtag army of 3,000 men, and I really can't hold up for an hour of defense. Inform the troops to prepare for withdrawal, in the direction of Ankel. Malavich whispered, and hurriedly ran down the city wall: "Let the troops at the head of the city resist, how long can they hold out, let's run quickly." By the way, burn the information about the military situation in the past few days as soon as possible, and burn as much as you can! ”

After Maravich finished speaking, he didn't forget to instruct his attendant: "Go back quickly, let my wife pack a few valuable things, bring gold coins and gems, and leave the rest alone!" ”

Thirty minutes later, the skeleton army had arrived in the city, and the city officials had already fled from behind with their troops and families. They did not inform the citizens of the city, nor did they evacuate and evacuate, for these petty nobles and officials, there was no need for them to let the little people slow them down, it was merciful enough not to burn down their houses.

The soldiers at the head of the city were at a loss, although they received the order to hold on, but a few hundred people against an army of more than a hundred thousand was obviously nonsense, and these soldiers obviously did not want to die like this. So when the prince fell from the sky and shouted, "Surrender or die," the soldiers at the head of the city simply surrendered.

The army did not stop, directly through the city, through the chaotic streets, directly into the city lord's mansion, and then there was a search of chickens and dogs, a group of barbarians with two thousand skeletons quickly occupied the city, under the command of an alliance official to establish order, while the rest of the people quickly left South Anker after gathering as much information and supplies as possible, and marched all the way to the north.

The towns along the way were unable to stop the army's onslaught, and the troops of the Tibetan Fortress City advanced all the way, capturing all the towns in their path, bringing the forces of the Free Cities Alliance into the kingdom's territory for the first time, and capturing large swaths of land.

Soon, when Maravich arrives in Anker to tell their colleagues what happened to them, what they don't know is that the previous scene will soon be repeated in Anker.
