When the armies gathered in Stormwind, the first phase of the war against the Eternal Cult began.

There was nothing to think of in the first phase of the battle, because it was just the most ordinary battle, and there was no trickery to talk about.

The tall mountain ranges on both sides of the Hell Valley, where the Storm Base is located, severely restricts the movement of the Great Legion, especially on the west side of the Thundering Peninsula, which connects to the base camp of the Eternal Holy Sect to the west, in addition to the tall western mountain range, there is also a rushing river wider than the Yangtze River, and the movement of the Great Legion is even more impractical.

The only route for the Great Legion to invade the territory of the Eternal Cult is to head north, starting from the Kitayaguchi of Hell Valley and turning west.

And if you want to get through this route, you must first capture the Puglia Mine that guards the entrance and exit of the Thundering Peninsula, which is the place where the undead of the Eternal Holy Sect must enter and exit the human world.

The Puglia Mine is only less than 100 kilometers away from the North Valley Pass in Jigokudani, and it is very convenient to supply after laying the improvised railway, and the troops stationed here are almost all the old troops of the Skeleton King Eric Moore who retreated from the battle in Jigokudani, which is basically a group of people who have been temporarily put together after being disabled.

After the successful seizure of power by Dritan of the Abyssal, he did not want to see the old department of the Bone Lord Eric Moore, and at this time, the Bone King Eric Moore was not dead but trapped, and Dritan was afraid that a human would accidentally release this guy and continue to fight against him, so he made up his mind to weaken Eric Moore's basic plate first.

At the same time, the strength of the lords to whom these troops of the Bone King Eric Moore belong is indeed not very good, and they are not qualified to go back to participate in the power reshuffle, so they can only honestly wait for their final decision on these people in the Puglia mines.

The undead army does not have such an attribute as morale, which is a weakness many times, but now it has become a strength - if they have morale, this kind of moment must be too low to be lower, I am afraid that they will not have to attack themselves without the crusade army to attack them.

And now, after the crusading army surrounded the Puglia mines, although they had lost a large number of mid-level and high-level undead in the previous battle against Hell Valley and seriously lacked organizational skills, the remaining low-level undead were still able to resist by the instinct of the undead.

That's right, it's a low-level, and the few high-level undead with intelligence left before the crusading army arrived at the mines of Puglia fled in groups!

Anyway, they have already lost the internal struggle of the Eternal Holy Sect, even the best result will not be much better, and now the human race has bullied them again, so they simply left to find a place to be the king of the mountain!

With their strength, they can only be regarded as a small role in the Eternal Holy Sect, but it is not impossible to become the king and hegemon in a poor and remote place!

After almost all the high-level undead left, the remaining low-level undead in the Puglia mines, although there were a huge number, they lost the most important organization of the army.

Low-level undead are low-level undead after all, even if the number is still overwhelming, but it is still too weak in front of the crusading army that has gathered almost all the power of the living world.

In just two days, under the siege of the crusading army on all sides, the number of low-level undead was no longer the same as before.

Storm Base can't afford to prepare a good set of armor for all the Raider soldiers, but at least a light armor made of high-strength plastic is still fine, and with it, combined with the original armor of the Expeditionary Force soldiers, it is enough to make the most ordinary soldier face the low-level undead.

The only thing that can stop the soldiers of the expeditionary force is their own physical strength.

And until this time, Dritan the Abyssal still had no intention of providing support to the Puglia mines.

It's not that Dritan doesn't know the significance of this battle, he also has his own struggles.

As the most powerful military power in the Eternal Cult, Dritan the Abyssal is naturally well aware of the importance of the mines of Puglia.

Consuming the remnants of Bone Lord Eric Moore is true, but consuming it in the mines of Puglia is stupid!

That was the only way for the Eternal Holy Cult's legions to enter and leave Anglia! When he attacked the Psychic Pagoda, he took a big risk when he passed through the Puglia mines, which were still under the control of the Wintering Alliance!

If it weren't for the extreme elite of his troops, which weren't too numerous—relative to the undead—they would have been stopped.

By controlling this place, humanity will be invincible.

But Dritan really can't send troops to aid the Puglia mines right now.

The strength of the Living Crusade Army is very strong, and even opponents like the Dragon King can hardly say that he can win steadily, not to mention that there are not many strong people of the level of the Dragon King in the opponent's camp!

Without the help of the Holy Emperor, Dritan the Abyssal knew very well that he had to muster as many troops as possible in order to have a chance of victory.

The best countermeasure is to concentrate the power of the entire Eternal Holy Cult and completely overwhelm the crusading army with numbers!

Although the powerhouses of the Big Three level are now only Dritan alone, the accumulation of thousands of years of the Eternal Holy Sect has made them have a very large number of high-end combat power, and many ants bite the elephant, even if it is a very terrifying existence like the high-end combat power level Skeleton Sea.

Moreover, this strategy has another advantage for Dritan the Abyssal - he can blatantly infiltrate his power into every stratum of the Eternal Cult in the name of resisting the crusade, and use this war to completely complete the complete control of the Cult, become an existence above ten thousand people under one person, and become the actual controller of the Eternal Cult!

Dritan doesn't think that the Eternal Holy Church loses to those who are alive, the difference is only a matter of the size of the loss, even if it is in case of any event, they really can't stand it, isn't there still an old monster living in the palace!? Only when she goes out of the mountains, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Moreover, with the degree of disgust of the Holy Emperor for handling government affairs, I believe that even if he comes out, he will soon return to the house, and this Eternal Holy Sect is still his own!

Also, what if the losses are larger? Isn't the root of all the problems of the Eternal Holy Church in recent years that there are too many undead? It's not a pity to consume some now.

It's refreshing to slap the crusaders down, but it's not good for you!

On the contrary, the longer the time dragged on, the stronger his control over the Eternal Cult became. Therefore, on the basis of being able to defeat the crusading army in the end, Dritan really has little interest in a quick victory.
