February 9.

Standing on the watchtower of the Blood Hill and looking west, you can already see the vast black dot under the mountain range in the distance. From a long distance, the smell of decay and foul smell that is exclusive to the undead in the wind makes people sick.

A few days ago, on the day Kane took over the defense of the Blood Hills, he felt that the power of the Ascikrin Mountains, which had suppressed the undead for hundreds of years, had receded.

At that time, he realized that the attack of the undead was imminent.

Kane sat down for three things at once.

The first is to immediately convey the news to the kingdom. the second is to strengthen the control of the Blood Hill, and to step up the strengthening of defense facilities to prepare for war; The third is to let the soldiers and paladins in the army who are familiar with the surrounding terrain go out on a large scale to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

Each of these three things has its own meaning. But it all revealed what Kane was thinking - he didn't have much confidence.

The power in his hands is too weak, and the undead suppression array, which he relies on the most, has also been weakened, and the next war ...... Hard.

The results of the investigation also reflect this point.

The reconnaissance team that went out found traces of the enemy.

According to the intelligence, it should be the 'Black Rose Army'. This is the elite legion of the Conrad dynasty, and its leader is Fodel. He is a half-vampire half-ghost knight with a high reputation. No one knows exactly how this strange combination of races came about, but in any case, his strength is very strong, at least under normal circumstances, Kane does not think that he will be a match for Verdel.

Although, the current Kane is also ranked in the element list, but he is still hanging at the bottom. And Fodel is ranked 55th on the factor list, so he is also a truth element.

If the Great Array of the Undead still exists, Kane can rely on the Holy Light's restraint of negative energy, and there is still hope for a battle with Fodel. Now, the suppression effect has become so low, he is afraid that he is no match for Fodel.

Besides, it is not clear whether there are other elements strong in the enemy army. Kane, on the other hand, will not be too optimistic about this.

In the past few days, the number of opposing troops has been basically investigated. The undead army is generally composed of skeletons and zombies, and the number is more than 150,000.

With such a large legion, there is only one element powerhouse in it, Fodel? Kane didn't believe it.

Of course, the combat ability of the undead is weak, and in front of the human army equipped with hot firepower, the individual strength is not superior.

Generally speaking, a 100,000-strong undead army is about the same combat capability as a 10,000-strong human army. However, it is worth mentioning that there are still some high-level troops in the military formation of the 'Black Rose' Legion. For example, the elite 'Black Knights', 'Vampire Raid Column', 'Revenant Chariot Column'......

These can't be regarded as ordinary skeletons, zombies and other low-level undead.

All in all, it's going to be a bad fight.

……

On the first day of the battle, it was proved that Kane's previous views on the war were not wrong at all.

A large number of undead miscellaneous soldiers, acting as cannon fodder, rushed forward against the firepower of the hill of blood.

Batches of undead fell, but in exchange, they were pressed by the front.

When the time was almost up, the 'Revenant Chariot' troops in the rear rushed out.

The Revenant Chariot is green and translucent, like a chariot drawn by eight ghost horses, and on top of each horse, a ghost rider sits. On top of the chariot, two ghost turrets that fire themselves, a soul cannonball can reimburse an entire team of human soldiers.

Eight of these revenant chariots rushed over, and the blow to the human army's defenses was devastating. Especially when they got closer, the back compartment of the chariot opened, and a ghost flew out and wreaked havoc everywhere.

Kane personally struck, and the holy sword slashed in succession to destroy a chariot. But the constant bombardment of soul energy cannonballs and annoying ghosts also forced him to be a little embarrassed.

Following the ghost chariot, nearly a hundred black knights also rushed up, and the human position that was almost collapsing was broken in an instant.

The course of the war, which lasted less than half a day, was extremely difficult.

Kane had to order his troops to retreat, abandoning all the defensive lines outside the Blood Hill, and the entire army retreated back into the Blood Hill fortress.

Fortunately, after clearing the outer lines of defense of the human race, the 'Black Rose' Legion slowed down and did not continue to attack, which also gave the human troops a chance to breathe.

The morale of the human soldiers of the original garrison of the Blood Hill became very low after a day of fighting. Even, even the paladins can hardly continue to maintain high morale.

In half a day's effort, more than 500 lives were lost, of which the paladins were killed and injured nearly 100.

In fact, if it weren't for the warriors of the Holy Cult Army in front of the hard top, they would have relied on the garrison of the Blood Hill? I'm afraid that a few chariots will be able to sweep them away.

As for the undead legion, the damage looks great, and thousands of undead creatures have been wiped out. But the vast majority of them were cannon fodder, and the real elites, such as the Revenant Chariot, were only destroyed by Kane himself. Less than fifty Black Knights died, and most of them were the results of the Paladin's life.

How can this morale not be low?

On the 10th of February, the day after the outbreak of the war, the Black Rose Legion launched a general assault on the Blood Hill Fortress.

Kane himself stood at the head of the city and led the army to resolutely resist.

On this day, the fight was quite passable.

The defensive capability of the fortress is still worthy of recognition, and the soldiers are in the fortress, fighting back through artillery and bullets, and no longer need to fight those terrible undead creatures at close range, and the impact on morale is also much reduced.

After fighting for a day and once again gaining the results of killing thousands of undead, he finally held the day.

In the evening, the 'Black Rose' regiment withdrew.

The human warriors on the front line can finally repair and have a reassuring dinner.

However, for the undead, the daytime attack can only be regarded as an appetizer. Evening is the best time for them to be active.

As night fell, and the soldiers and paladins began to eat their dinner, the undead army slaughtered the horses.

At the time, Kane was patrolling the camp. His ears moved, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong in the sky, and when he looked up at the western sky, a dark cloud rose from the position of the 'Black Rose' army.

His face immediately changed, he drew his long sword, and shouted as he ran towards the city, "Prepare for battle!" ”

This time the undead attacked, without cannon fodder cover, and the elite troops went directly to the field.

Bats that cover the sky and the moon fall from the sky!

——

Uh, this one is a little bit further back, it's late in the night......

But it's finally done.

Three chapters are still owed. Tomorrow I will try to add another chapter.
