The military vehicle accelerated, gradually escaping the pursuit of the ghoul horde and smoothly retreating to its own position. At the same time, the Viglaf division was ready to meet the enemy, using military vehicles as cover, first throwing a grenade at the surging army of the undead, and then raising its gun to shoot at the nearest enemy.

The officers and soldiers who participated in the southward operation were equipped with weapons designed to restrain the undead, and the grenades were filled with "holy water", and after the explosion, the holy water splashed out, and when it touched the undead creatures, a silver flame immediately ignited. The rifle bullet is hollow, and the bullet is filled with holy water, and the moment it hits the undead, the lead bullet shatters, and the holy water bursts out, igniting a sacred flame in the body of the person who was shot.

The Far Eastern Type 1624 rifle is powered by air pressure, and when it fires, it is accompanied by a series of crisp sonic booms, as if thousands of horsewhips are drawn in the air, converging into a sharp wind whistle, living up to the name of "wind gun". To the ears of ordinary people, the whistling sound of the rifle may be a little harsh, and even feel terrifying because it is associated with the whipping, but to the officers and men of the shooting army, there is no more refreshing and pleasant melody in the world than the sound of this continuous wind, and the fighting spirit gradually rises with the bullets fired from the disembowelment.

The undead army on the opposite side, whether it was a sluggish zombie or a manic ghoul, were all overwhelmed by the bullets swept by the wind, and the "undead tide" that the Order of Naro relied on to rule the Twilight Dales became more and more lacking in stamina, and every time the tide tried to rise up, it was severely suppressed by the rain of bullets, and finally showed signs of collapse, and could no longer form a unified offensive.

Standing on the command vehicle, Wiglav held a telescope to observe the enemy forces on the opposite side, and found that the undead troops were already weak, so he decisively ordered to switch from defense to attack.

The trumpet of the charge sounded from the position, and the officers and men of the Viglaf division were replaced with new magazines and advanced in company units, while the remaining undead troops in the valley were forced to fight separately, and instead fell under the guns of the superior forces of the Far East.

The battle lasted for an hour, and the army of the undead gathered by the Naraku Order had been wiped out. Only a handful of ghosts are still floating around the battlefield, like lost orphans.

The chaplain of the "Viglaf Division" is unceremonious to these virtual ghosts, once they find the ghosts, they first try to dispel them, and if they can't dispel them, they will play the 3-ring "Daylight Technique" and invite those lonely ghosts to sunbathe.

Ghosts are far more difficult to deal with than zombies, skeletons, and ghouls, and their virtual qualities make them invulnerable to ordinary swords and bullets, and a small group of ghosts can torment a heavily armed army without knowing the art of restraint.

Fortunately, all the officers and soldiers of the Far East had participated in the study class organized by the military chaplain long before they went south, and the textbook was edited by His Royal Highness Roland himself, listing the more common types of undead creatures, with their special abilities and restraint strategies, and the virtual undead was a very important chapter.

The Far Eastern military, from the marshal to the privates, all memorized this textbook backwards and put it into practice on the battlefield, and they had to admire the profound knowledge of His Royal Highness the Regent, and the knowledge in the textbook could be used in actual combat. For example, ghosts, which are quite difficult virtual undead, have a fatal weakness, that is, they are afraid of sunlight, and they will lose most of their combat effectiveness when exposed to direct sunlight.

The depths of the Twilight Dales are rarely seen in the sun, but the priest's "daylight" can do a similar job, forcing invisible ghosts to manifest in the light. The officers and soldiers who followed the priest had already anointed their bayonets with "demonized weapons", raised their rifles equipped with bayonets and rushed towards the ghost, stabbing them fiercely.

Even if the ghost is extremely weakened by the "Dawn Technique", ordinary swords will not be able to kill it. Therefore, when dealing with ghosts, officers and soldiers inevitably use expensive magic ointments to temporarily transform bayonets into enchanted weapons, and on average, one out of three knives actually stabbed the ghost, feeling like piercing into a mass of gel, and the ghost then let out a dying cry, twisted and scattered into a cloud of smoke and dust, and returned to the embrace of death.

When the last ghost is destroyed, the battlefield returns to peace. Vigrav ordered the troops to be collected, the battlefield to be cleaned up, and the casualties counted. When the inventory data was submitted, the result was not what he expected, only 12 people were killed, and the total number of injured people was less than 100. Considering that the chaplains still had ample reserves of magic, the war dead would be resurrected immediately, and the wounded would be treated quickly, these casualty figures didn't really mean much. As for how much the military department of the military region will pay for the purchase of these magic positions, it is not within the scope of his consideration as a front-line commander - that is a problem that Roland needs to worry about.

Shortly after the battle on the frontal battlefield ended, Anton and Zoya also returned with the team, both carrying a large silver chain with the skull emblem in their hands. The necromancers and priests who were hiding in the shadows to drive the army of the undead, a total of one hundred and forty-six people, were almost all killed by the assault company led by Anton and Zoya - these "Naraku Evil Emblems" were trophies.

……

After a dangerous ambush, the Viglaf Division, a member of Koras's Southern Army, camped for the night near the Rift Valley, and the next morning, the officers and men put away their tents, boiled hot water over a bonfire, brewed tea and coffee bags, and ate in an orderly group. Military rations include a variety of canned food, as well as a new invention of the Military Technology Research Institute, which looks like dry bread tamped with a hammer, which His Royal Highness the Regent calls "compressed biscuits", which are hard like stones, soaked in boiling water and quickly expand into a full lunch box, and the texture has become very soft. Although it looks a little appetizing, it tastes unexpectedly delicious, and more importantly, it is very calortic, and ordinary soldiers can fill their stomachs with a single piece.

It took only ten minutes for the well-trained officers and men of the expedition to finish their breakfast, put away their utensils and board the military vehicle. More than 300 military vehicles were activated, and with the rumbling roar of the magic steam engine, the 10,000-strong army continued to advance towards the heart of the Twilight Valley.

The march for the next few days went well, with no major ambushes. On the afternoon of 27 March, Vigraf's division arrived in the enemy-occupied area where the "Dusk Fortress" was located, built fortifications on the spot, and confronted the defenders of the fortress ten miles away.

Major General Vigrav, the commander of the division, placed his headquarters on a rocky slope not far from the front line, standing on a high place and looking out to the opposite side, the view was exceptionally wide.

The area where the "Dusk Fortress" is located is a relatively rare open area in the valley, and it resembles a basin in terms of topography: with the Dusk Fortress as a round point, the surrounding ten miles are mostly flat and open sandy wasteland, and further away are steep mountain cliffs, on which occasionally grow a few twisted pines and cypresses, quietly showing strong vitality in this area full of necromancy.
