The road leading to Kageyama Castle was no longer visible, the dark red flesh like mud exuded a pungent rancid stench, as if it had been minced and rotten meat, and there were not many bones to be seen on the ground, and there were no discarded equipment.

The strange silence made it impossible to see not only the person who caused this flesh passage, but not even the animals and insects that liked to eat carrion, and no one knew what was blocking their appetite.

The fierce battle away from Shadow Hill City did not affect the battle situation in Shadow Hill Castle, and after nearly seven days of fierce fighting, the undead troops guarding Shadow Hill Castle finally couldn't hold on. Because they are not bothered by physical strength, the undead have a strong ability to continue fighting, but they also consume energy in battle, and they replenish soul energy very slowly. The first batch of undead who entered the battle exhausted their last energy two days ago, and now they are still hiding behind to rest, but the effect is very poor, and it is estimated that it will not be possible to return to the state before the war without six or seven days of recovery.

"Master, do you want the warriors to directly replenish their soul energy?" Feng Ge, the Lich King, appears next to the stitched corpse.

The stitched corpse shook his head, and directly rejected Feng Ge's proposal, he hadn't gone any further, and he wasn't ready to sacrifice the lives of lower-level warriors. After all, these elites are the hard work he has cultivated for a long time. In his eyes, Shadow Mountain City is far less important than these warriors, he still has a lot of hole cards in his hand, he really can't retreat to the realm of the undead, even if he loses some low-level undead, it is better than letting all his loyal subordinates die in battle.

Now that Stitch Corpse has two cards to play, he needs to weigh up and choose to play one of them. Let Jiang Li take the demon soldiers of Black Salt City directly into the city, this is a choice. The good thing is that he doesn't have to pay any price, these days he has sent the corpse witch into the battlefield of the Black Salt Believers many times and used the remaining corpses on the battlefield to summon the undead to replenish the troops, and the undead get along well with these Black Salt Believers. The disadvantage is that the demon believers are exposed prematurely. It is equivalent to announcing that the two are in an alliance, which makes the Brysson feel more threatened, and they will definitely face a bigger war next. The other card is to let the Undead Empire send troops to support, the advantage is that you don't have to worry about anything, just ask for help to the Undead Empire to save him, Bresson doesn't have the courage to challenge the Undead Empire, the disadvantage is that he has to say goodbye to Shadow Mountain City just by asking for help. As long as the Undead Empire sends people, Shadow Mountain City will become the territory of the Undead Empire, and he, the city lord, will be the same as the Dark Blade City Lord of Longxiang City. became the titular lord of the city.

Just as the stitching corpse weighed the pros and cons, the sound of neat footsteps came from outside the West City Gate, and the noise caused by the blades on the armor hitting each other could also be heard at any time. A group of hoplites, covered in armor and covered in blood, appeared outside the West Gate.

Stitched up the corpse, but didn't expect Lei Sili's hoplites to appear directly in the city. The appearance of the Black Salt Soldier meant that Jiang Li was already capable of facing Bresson's next crazy attack. Or maybe he had something else to rely on. The stitched corpse knew that these hoplites were very strong, but he didn't know exactly how strong they were, and he never thought that this small army, which numbered less than 5,000 people, would contain the energy to destroy the Bresson Empire.

The Hurricane Corps has also suffered a crime these days. They are now considered the human legion with the most experience in dealing with the undead. Although there is a lot of friction between humans and the undead, there has never been a large-scale war in the past thousand years, and even legion-level battles have hardly occurred, especially in these countries on the islands, they don't know what kind of fighting methods the undead are.

The Hurricane Legion didn't know the details of Shadow Hill Castle, and they thought that it was just a small army of undead lurking in the shadows after the success of Fajar's Chosen One's sneak attack on Shadow Hill Castle. Because everyone knows that the undead can quickly expand their troops. So it's not surprising that a large number of low-level undead suddenly appeared in the city. At first, the Hurricane Legion didn't feel too much pressure, and the undead didn't even dare to defend it, so they opened the gate on one side directly. This is a direct manifestation of the hard power of the undead, although it was cleverly made into a trap by the undead, it is still an unchangeable fact. Especially after the trap disappeared, the undead couldn't hold on to it several times. The Hurricane Legion can only blame Lady Luck for favoritism, otherwise they would have taken Shadow Mountain City a long time ago.

But as time went on, the advantages of the undead began to manifest, especially the ability to replenish troops on the battlefield, which was really terrifying. Under the canopy of the dead, dead human warriors have a certain chance of transforming into undead on their own, and if there is a corpse witch or lich presiding, they have a good chance of becoming high-level undead warriors. The level of transformation into undead creatures mainly depends on the strength of mental power, unless they are transformed into zombies and ghouls, other undead do not have high requirements for corpses.

The Hurricane Legion didn't realize this at first, and after being pitted once, they sent low-level troops to test it first. This allowed the Undead Legion to obtain a lot of good "materials", and the battle was not very fierce at the time, and these materials were transported to the rear of the undead, and through the efforts of the corpse witches, they became part of the Hurricane Legion. Later, the formation pattern maniac appeared on the pipeline outside Black Salt City to surround the point to help, and Jiang Li acted as a battlefield transporter, helping the corpse witch pass through the encirclement of the Hurricane Legion to "collect the corpse" behind them, which became another relatively large source of troops in Black Salt City.

The increasing number of troops is one of the reasons why Hurricane City has been able to stand up to now, and another important reason is that the undead organization of Hurricane City is very tight, and the command terminal is much longer than the average undead army.

The lowest commander of the general undead unit is the regimental commander, who will directly command 300 to 500 men to fight, and there are no lower-ranking officers below. The undead in Shadow Mountain City are different, the main ones who control the troops are the Corpse Witches, these Corpse Witches already have a small team that has been prepared for a long time, and each of the undead in this small team of theirs has the ability to lead the soldiers, which is a special ability given to them by the Crown of the Dead, according to different strengths, the high-level undead under the Corpse Witch can lead dozens to more than a hundred soldiers, which makes the undead in Shadow Mountain City have a strong ability to execute. Disorganization is the biggest disadvantage of the undead with a very low average IQ, and now with the low-level command ending, even the combat power of the low-level undead has been raised, which is the power of the crown of the artifact dead.

Although the continuous battle for several days exhausted the soul power of the undead, and caused a large number of low-level undead to die, it also gave birth to a large number of high-level undead. When the low-level undead die, their souls will seek out the undead of a lower rank than them to take them away, and directly "eat" the low-level undead. If there are no low-level undead, they will choose to attach themselves to the high-level undead, and they will become the nourishment of the high-level undead. A large number of low-level undead have died, and the first to profit is the middle and low-level undead officers who control these low-level undead, which makes their IQ further raised and their strength stronger and stronger. If there is no new source of troops to replenish it, of course, such an increase is futile, but with the replenishment of troops, it is completely different, the undead army is getting stronger and stronger, and the losses of the hurricane army are getting bigger and bigger.

In order to be able to curb the undead from replenishing their forces on the battlefield, the Hurricane Legion sent a request to the Bresson Empire to send priests and paladins to cleanse the battlefield. This requirement is very well met before, and all empires will inevitably have a large priesthood team, but now the Bresson royal family is in a dilemma, because of the domestic anti-Illuminati movement, most of the Light Temples in Bresson have been destroyed, and the non-combat clergy are almost non-existent. The aborigines are different from the Chosen One, they all have faith in their priesthood, and even the temple is gone, so it's strange that they can still be in the mood to fight. Bresson had been planning to build the state's exclusive Temple of Light after a while, but now they haven't done it yet. What the Bresson Empire lacks most now is the Holy Priesthood, and they can't even send out a small group of three hundred people.

In desperation, the Bresson Empire had no choice but to issue a mission to the Chosen Ones, allowing them to enter the battlefield of Shadow Hill City. This wrong decision sent the Hurricane Legion directly to the guillotine. After returning to normal, the corpse of the Chosen will still turn into a blur of light and shadow after death, but this corpse has all the attributes that a corpse should have, and it can be resurrected and transformed into an undead, which is not much different from the conditions required for the corpse of the aborigines to be transformed into an undead. But the Chosen is different, what is the biggest difference between the Chosen and the aborigines, of course, is wisdom, the Chosen is smarter, at least smarter than those low-level soldiers, which also indicates that the Chosen Ones have stronger spiritual power and their souls are stronger. Naturally, the transformed undead are stronger.

Originally, there was a time limit for the transformation of the undead with the Chosen One, which generally only existed for a few hours and then disappeared, and the length of existence was the same as the death penalty received by the Chosen One. However, there is the Crown of the Dead in Shadow Mountain City, an artifact that can transform the undead into a large number of mutations. The mutations result in a higher level of undead, and the factors that constrain them are all gone. Under the canopy of the undead, the corpses of a large group of dead Chosen Ones got up on their own to join the battle, and the mutated undead among them were all accepted into their own team by the Chosen Ones, the base of the Chosen Ones was too large, and the number of undead transformed by the Undead Canopy after death was about the same as the number of undead transformed by the Hurricane Legion by the Corpse Witch.

Multiple factors have kept Kageyama Castle until now, when they are exhausted and ready for the last fight. At a time when the Hurricanes saw the hope of victory and threw all their armies into preparation for the last stand. The Array Maniacs rushed into the battlefield, and their presence prevented the Hurricane Legion from delivering the final blow and caused the Hurricane Legion's morale to collapse. To be able to withstand it until now, the Hurricane Legion fought for the last breath, and just when they were about to exert their strength, they were stabbed in the back, so you can imagine how aggrieved they are and how sad they are.

The two teams that would bring destruction to Bresson converged at this time, but no one realized how significant this meeting was. (To be continued......)
