In the Antigorin Sea, extremely close to the Golden Dragon Sanctuary, in the underground temple located deep in the mountain, a battle of life and death is heating up.

Relying on tactical coordination and their respective expertise, the three humans and the ancient Valkyrie's spiritual power condensation battle became inextricably linked, and it seemed that the two sides were evenly matched, however, that was only a temporary appearance.

The reason for the balance of power between the two sides was that Ipeia used her magic to neutralize Brunhilde's magic, so that the Valkyries could not use the magic that their people were best at to influence the situation of the battle; and Nusan Shudna could not defeat the Valkyrie before Ipeya's magic ran out, and what awaited the three of them was death, becoming the companions of the dozens of skeletons lying on the ground.

However, the worst fears happened.

After holding on for more than ten minutes, Ipeia showed fatigue, she seemed to be unable to withstand the excessive consumption of mana, her breathing was chaotic, and the rhythm of mobilizing her magic power was also disrupted, and her hands shaking the magic wand trembled, and the staff in her hand deviated slightly to the right.

At this moment, the disappearing sand suddenly emerged from the gap between the two people's magic collision, and then disappeared immediately - that was because Ipeia adjusted her magic power in time to make the magical balance between herself and the Valkyrie continue to be stable, but a small loophole had already been created, and even if Ipeia was aware of it, she was powerless to make up for this loophole.

The sand that had been lost was all at Brunhilde's disposal, and although it was not in large amounts, it was enough to act as a stake to influence the scales.

One of the short swords on the wheel behind the Valkyrie flew off of its own, but instead of attacking any of the three humans who were her enemy, it circled in mid-air and nailed itself to a skeleton lying on the ground.

Immediately afterward, the sand surged down, filling the dry bones.

The sand replaced the muscles and skin, the dead came back to life, and a warrior with a yellowed body stood up. Although his body is made of sand, his facial contours and facial features are the same as they were before his death. The sand necromantic warrior picked up the rusty axe and shield around him and rushed towards Ipeia!

Ipeia gritted her teeth, she couldn't care about maintaining the balance of her magic, and at this critical juncture, it was more important to save her life, she shifted the position of her magic wand, and recited a spell in her mouth, and a wall of sand appeared out of thin air in front of her, and the dense arrangement of sand and sand formed enough defense to block the attack of the necromantic warriors, but in this way, Ipeya's efforts to continue to neutralize the magic of the Valkyrie were in vain. Because Ipeia drained some of his mana to protect himself, Brunhilde was able to put a lot of his unleashed mana into the same tactics.

"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh", the five short swords on the wheels flew up one after another, and then they were nailed to the five dry bones, and then the huge quicksand surged out, forming five streams of sand, which were poured into these empty skeletons. In less than half a minute, five sand necromantic warriors stood up and united with the previous one to lay siege to Ipeia.

"Oops!" the "Riverside Man" who saw this qiē exclaimed, and immediately aimed his sharp arrow at the Valkyrie warriors.

An undead warrior used his body as a shield to resist the arrows of the "Rivermen", and although this arrow was extremely penetrating and pierced directly through the body of the undead warrior, it was blocked by the second undead warrior, and the remaining four undead warriors continued to besiege Ipeia without hesitation.

I don't know if these undead warriors all had strong combat power during their lifetimes, or if the magic of the Valkyries strengthened their power, the combined blow of the four undead warriors surpassed the limit of the protective wall of the sand and defeated the only line of defense of Ipeia, and after a undead warrior rushed in front of Ipeia, picked up the club that had been corroded for most of it and swept over.

"Ahh

Ipeia, the wise Empress of the Empire, whose thin body could not withstand the direct blow of the club, screamed and was knocked out by the whole person, hitting her head against a stone pillar, and fell to the ground, covered in blood and fainting.

"Damn it!"

The "Riverman" cursed, knowing that after Ipeia was knocked down, the next target to be attacked would be either him or Nusan Xiudena.

Sure enough, the six undead warriors turned around together, raised their respective weapons, and charged towards Nusan Shudna.

The priest was now concentrating on the angel he had summoned to confront Brunhilde's ontology, and in the face of the imminent threat of death, Nusan Shudna set his sights on the "Riverside Man" for help.

However, the "Riverman" was not at all helped, because he was on the other side of the Valkyrie at this time, and the distant water could not save the near fire, but even if the "Riverman" was by Nusan Xiudna's side, it was impossible for him to protect an immobile priest from under the blade of six undead warriors.

"No ......"

Nusan Xiudena watched as the axe slashed at his head got closer and closer......

At the same time that a life-and-death battle was taking place in an underground temple in the interior of the Rocal Empire, hundreds of kilometers to the south, Paris City, the capital of the Kingdom of Medin, was brewing a crazy battle.

The street fighting in Paris City is now in its second year, and the air in the city is filled with the stench of corpses, and in the most fiercely contested areas, the corpses of the dead soldiers on both sides cannot be contained, and they can only be left to rot.

King Louis did not flee, nor did Marshal Paul Abel flee, and even though more than ninety percent of the city fell to the extreme disadvantage of the Sealand army, the defenders of the Kingdom of Medin did not lose their will to fight, and they fought with all their might, every block, every alley, every house, every room, fought to the death against the invaders, and gradually pulled back the shape little by little.

On the other hand, their opponents, the siege troops of the Kingdom of Sealand, have gone from being like a rainbow of morale and high spirits at the beginning to almost becoming lost dogs now. Even with a famous general like Aiden Finger in command, the "Eye of the Condor" is in command, it is impossible to change. A few months ago, the news of the annihilation of the Ace Division, the "King's Paragon", came from the Northern Front, and it was the heaviest blow to this lone army hanging in the heart of the enemy; not to mention the middle and high-ranking officers, even the men in charge of cooking knew that the plan to "attack the city of Paris from behind and force King Medidin to surrender" had been completely aborted. Next, the soldiers had to think about what they would do in the future. War weariness is spreading, the morale of the once-invincible Sealand army is now low, and the constant attacks of the Medin army and civilians day and night have caused some fighters to have a nervous breakdown and self-destruction.

However, thanks to General Aiden Finger's proper command, a large-scale rout did not occur. Although the return of the other side's children did not interrupt the enemy's military and civilian attacks, both sides agreed to a temporary truce on both days, which bought General Finger valuable time to gather his troops and redeploy. After months of contraction and regular attack and defense, General Finger succeeded in bringing his troops to a stronghold on the west side of the city that was easy to defend and well-stocked, and established a solid fortification. Although the territory occupied was reduced to only 7%, due to the reduction of the area to be defended and the relative concentration of troops, it was not easy for the Maedin army to carry out counteroffensives and raids.

During the more than a month of holding the stronghold, General Finger carefully analyzed his own logistical supplies, troop deployment, and enemy tactics, and worked out a perfect withdrawal plan.

Yes, before he set foot in the land of Madin, General Finger had made up his mind to confront the old king, who was determined to fight him, and he was ready to disobey the king's order to take the soldiers of the Western army home as far as possible. However, a blind retreat could not be said to be retreated, and a blind retreat was very likely to turn into a rout, or even be ambushed by the enemy halfway, so that he would suffer unnecessary heavy losses, so General Finger carried out his plan very steadily and step by step. Gathering the scattered troops and withdrawing to the stronghold in the west of the city are only the first two steps of the retreat plan, and the most critical step must be carried out today.

After nightfall, he will launch a large-scale all-out attack on the Mei army in the city.

Through his observations in these days, General Finger found that the Mei army had long been accustomed to being on the offensive, recovering the lost territory of the city from the invaders little by little (although in some places the Western army had voluntarily abandoned), and had relaxed its defense. General Finger wanted to take advantage of the temporary paralysis of his opponents to take them by surprise, and these Mei troops were immersed in the joy of the total annihilation of the "model of kings" in the north and the excitement of the imminent complete recovery of the capital, and they would never have expected that the western army, which had reached the end of the road, would take the initiative to attack, and would certainly be beaten and confused; while the enemy was stunned and his forces were completely reduced, his subordinates must hurry up and retreat from the city, so as not to be pursued and obstructed.

Because of this, before retreating, the general must use all the resources at his disposal to launch an offensive that has never been more powerful than ever.

However, before the operation began, the general had one more thing that he had to do.

That's Prince Harun.

More than two months ago, when the "King's Exemplar" army was completely wiped out, Prince Harlan came to his army single-handedly, saying that he was ordered by the "King's Exemplar" Legion Commander, the "God of War" Candal Hoover, to come to Aiden Finger and his troops to seek protection. General Finger was naturally obligated to accept the fallen crown prince.

However, after more than two months of getting along, Finger had some doubts about the Prince Harlan, and as they got along for more time, this question sprouted, grew, and grew in his heart like a seed, and finally became a big tree that completely occupied his heart.

Aiden Finger is a very cautious man, and he will not act lightly if he does not clarify these doubts before today.

"Go and bring His Royal Highness Prince Harun here, I have important matters with which I must discuss in detail with him alone. Finger ordered the adjutant
