Chapter 339: The First World War

Capello. Although Dio, the fake Dreyus, is dead, leaving the undead without a command for the time being, but the mid-level and low-level commanders present are still there, and even if the undead scourge without unified command looks chaotic and disorganized in the battle, the hatred of the living and the desire for flesh and blood still force these walking corpses to continue to swarm and attack the soldiers of Preto.

At this time, Twilight looked around to observe the situation on the battlefield behind her, and saw that the cavalry behind her had been surrounded by the undead Scourge because of their lack of impact, and although 90% of the Undead Scourge were cannon fodder with low combat effectiveness, the endless number of undead sea of kills made up for their lack of combat effectiveness.

And Twilight and the others have entered the middle of the Scourge Legion, they must return to join the large army, otherwise in the face of the endless undead scourge, Twilight can withstand it, but the other Hammer of Justice and Dreadnought Cavalry can't, so Twilight after taking a look at the surrounding situation, she shouted and called all the Hammer of Justice and Dreadnought Cavalry to kill in the direction they came, to meet with the Dreadnought infantry and dwarven musketeers in the rear, and the best way to deal with the undead is to form a battle formation.

With the Hammer of Justice and Twilight as the powerhouses to open the way, the cavalry went all the way back and forth, although this time and again seemed unstoppable, but the casualties of the dreadnought cavalry were still relatively large, especially during this pause, after all, their strength was not as strong as the Hammer of Justice.

At this time, the dreadnought soldiers in the rear used their half-body shields and broadswords in their hands to build a powerful defensive formation, like an iron wall firmly guarding the ranged troops behind them, the crazy offensive of the undead scourge hit the defense line but could not shake a bit, with the attack of dwarven musketeers and dreadnought marksmen, many undead fell before they rushed over, and there were more specialized shooters to resist the attacks of long-range skeleton mages.

When Twilight arrives at the front of the Prieto soldiers' defensive line with all the cavalry, the dreadnought warriors automatically get out of the way for Twilight and the other cavalry to enter.

Then Twilight and a group of Hammer Paladins of Justice also joined the queue to fight against the undead scourge, with the addition of Twilight and other strong people, the line of Prito's soldiers was suddenly more stable, and the number of undead who fell in front of them was also increasing, almost every moment It can be said that the number is drastically decreasing by thousands, while the casualties on the side of Prito's soldiers are minimal.

The corpses of the undead on the ground were quickly stacked on top of each other, and finally they were half a human high, and Twilight ordered the troops to retreat ten meters back and let go of the corpse wall.

During the killing, Twilight looked at the entire battlefield, and now almost all the undead disasters were crowded forward in the dark, and there was no order at all, seeing this, Twilight ordered the troops to retreat for a while, and then they retreated for a while, and before they knew it, they turned back to the shooting range of the crossbow on the bed of the steel fortress, and then saw a giant crossbow with barrels of explosives shooting from the fortress, These arm-thick bolts were fired into a dense stream of undead scourges, followed by explosions and deafening roars, accompanied by the frantic roar of the undead Scourge death.

However, the undead didn't know what fear was, they were still rushing forward frantically, seeing that the high-level undead did not shrink and control the undead, many people knew that their victory was decided, but if they wanted to completely exterminate this massive number of undead, it was not possible to do it in a moment. After all, there are still seventy or eighty thousand of these cannon fodder, even seventy or eighty thousand pigs that do not resist are killed and it is a big project, not to mention that there are many bone warriors and abominations in these undead natural disasters that can cause them trouble.

Speaking of which, the outcome of this battle was somewhat unexpected by everyone, according to Twilight's idea, she wanted to take the fortress out of the fortress when Dreyus thought he couldn't get out of the fortress to catch them off guard, and another point was that after opening the fortress door, you could give the undead Scourge hope to capture the fortress, so that they could keep attacking, so as to quickly consume the Scourge Legion's strength, but who would have thought that Twilight's sudden attack would be crooked and see through Dreyus's plan.

According to the current situation, as long as there are no high-level undead to unify the thoughts of these low-level undead, then it is only a matter of time before these undead are eliminated.

As time passed, the dreadnoughts and dwarves retreated a lot, and the losses of the undead scourge were getting bigger and bigger, but at this time, fatigue had appeared in all the soldiers, whether it was the warrior soldiers in the front row or the archers and musketeers who kept firing bows and arrows, they all felt tired, there were too many undead disasters.

As a last resort, Twilight gathered her troops and let the front-row soldiers take turns to give them time to rest, and in the end, Twilight retreated to the bottom of the Steel Fortress with her troops, allowing all ranged classes to re-enter the walls of the Steel Fortress.

The battle didn't end until the evening, and the sight was full of corpses, the corpses of the undead scourge, and almost all the soldiers on Prieto's side were exhausted, and many dreadnought archers had their fingers cut by the bowstring, but although the soldiers were extremely tired, Twilight ordered them to start cleaning the battlefield after letting them rest for a while, and gathered all the corpses of the undead scourge, and the battle damage was also counted after dark, and the 30,000 troops of the Steel Fortress lost less than 5,000 people, However, the Scourge Legion lost at least nearly 100,000 people, which can be said to be very brilliant, of which half of the 5,000 people lost by Prito fell at the feet of the undead when they followed Twilight's charge, and after forming a formation, Twilight's strong men were in front, plus the precise command of Alberta, the loss was small.

When it was completely dark, all the corpses of the undead were piled up, and then with Zagreel's magic quickly burned, it was night, and the raging fire reflected the entire night sky, and the town of Eglaven and the Black Sea City could be seen clearly in the distance.

At this time, a death knight wearing black armor outside the Black Sea City and holding a two-handed big sword looked at the red light in the sky in the distance, the blue light in his eyes flickered slightly, and for a moment he turned his head and waved the big sword, but it was an order to speed up the siege of the city by the undead natural disaster that was besieging the Black Sea City. And this sword-wielding black-armored death knight is also Twilight's acquaintance, none other than Fred, who is separated from Dreyus.

The next morning, the flames outside the fortress were still not completely extinguished, and when Twilight awoke, the horn of the assembly sounded again, and all the soldiers who had recovered or not had recovered got up and would go to war again.

Originally, Twilight wanted to return to Eglaven yesterday, after all, Dreyus has been powerful for several days, Twilight doesn't know where the Scourge has arrived, but it is estimated that it is almost to Preto, without Dreyus Twilight can not be so urgent, but with Dreyus and without Dreyus, the Scourge is two things, Twilight is afraid that the Iron Brotherhood will not be able to hold on.

However, yesterday Twilight wanted to leave, but New Sain dissuaded Twilight, saying that the soldiers had been fighting all day, and whether they could hold on to the night and march at a gallop for the night was not to be said, and even if they did, they would probably not be able to fight.

When New Sain said this, Twilight calmed down, and knew that she was in a hurry, so she decided to let the soldiers rest for the night and head to Eglaven tomorrow morning.

It didn't take long for 25,000 soldiers to assemble, and Twilight left five dreadnoughts to defend the city, and then ordered the other 20,000 dreadnoughts and dwarven musketeers to set off.

After setting out, Twilight rode the stupid dragon Denagostan and left the large army to support alone, while New Sein with more than 1,000 Hammers of Justice and the remaining 2,000 cavalry also broke away from the infantry in the rear and ran towards the town of Eglaven, adding up to nearly 4,000 knights marching at high speed towards Pretone, and the fearless soldiers who fell behind also joined in the advance under the orders of Alberta.

"Hurry up! Faster! ”

Alberta urged sternly, and all the soldiers ran forward, even the dwarves, the little short legs...

The cold autumn wind blew around his body, sitting on the back of Denagostan expressionless, the undead scourge did not feel tired, they could move forward without resting, judging from the distance traveled by the scouts of the Duchess Alexia, it was likely that the undead scourge had already entered Preto, he didn't know that Dreyus was also here at first, he thought that with Thalia's dreadnought garrison and Anissa's Brotherhood of Steel was enough, Twilight now only hoped that the undead scourge would bring fewer casualties to his troops.

Twilight also knew that if the Dreadnought and Brotherhood forces were really at a disadvantage, he wouldn't be able to regain much of an advantage if he went, and his strength was not strong enough to defy the sky, especially with a Dreyus who was a step above him.

Denagostein also sensed his master's mood, so he flew at the fastest speed.

At this time, there was fierce fighting in the town of Eglaven, and countless undead scourge came up from the shallow waters of the Darren River, frantically attacking the Brotherhood of Steel and the negligible fearless garrison.

The Scourge's legion led by Dreyus arrived at three or four o'clock in the morning, Alexia's scouts were the first to arrive in Eglaven Town, and Selia began to prepare when she knew that the undead scourge might come from upstream, and she also prepared several large nets to intercept the undead who floated down from the upper reaches of the river, but these large nets were destroyed by Dreyus in a few strokes, where did Selia want to fight There were heroes and strongmen, and she was caught off guard by the Scourge, who originally wanted to ambush the Scourge's legion in the upper reaches of the Darren River, The 5,000 dreadnought garrisons used to defend Eglaven Town can withstand a large number of undead natural disasters, and when they are beaten back again and again, they are about to reach Eglaven Town, but they encounter the Iron Brotherhood led by Anissa, who received orders to rush, and the two sides started a big battle by this river, and some of them came ashore from the other side, apparently trying to attack the opposite town of Snar.
