Chapter Twenty-Four: The Endless Army of the Undead

As expected, the Carson Empire began its offensive two days later.

Leon, his father, and the Guards await the arrival of the Imperial Legion at the exit of Drake Canyon, the gateway to the Legion of Vervirg.

At this time, Drake Canyon is unusually calm, just like the calm before a storm, which makes people nervous and uncomfortable. The guards swallowed their saliva, although everyone knew that they would face the three thousand troops of the empire next, but none of them retreated because of this, and everyone was ready to sacrifice!

If the Imperial Army wants to reach Pakabe City as quickly as possible, it is wise to go directly through Drake Canyon. And the kingdom army did not have enough troops to defend this main road.

"Leon, as a fifth-order warrior, I can say that I am one enemy to a hundred, and all the guards here are also good hands. But even so, it was impossible for these thirty-one people alone to stop the three thousand imperial troops. So, wait a minute, you just leave and go back to the royal capital. Finally, help me tell your mom that I love her!" Bill stood at the forefront, looking out at the entrance to the canyon. The Guards stood in two rows behind Bill. There is a tragedy of a strong man who will never return.

Leon walked up to Bill, patted him on the shoulder, with an expression of "little brother, what's the matter", and said, "Dad, did you misunderstand something?"

Bill wanted to show Leon his majestic side at the last moment, but the kid looked like he was underwhelmed.

Bill suppressed his anger: "What did I misunderstand?"

"Although I know that Dad, you can fight against a hundred, but I am not stupid enough to think that you can resist the three thousand imperial army with one person. So your mission is not to intercept the Imperial Army here. Leon looked at his father with disgust.

"Stinky boy, you never said that I didn't come here to intercept the Imperial Army!

"Rest assured, though none of us are the ones who can turn the tide. But there is one man, and she alone, is a thousand troops!" Leon said to his father, smiling.

"Who?" Bill wondered, was there anyone else here besides a few of us?

"Outside. Leon said in a pretentious manner.

"Outside?"

Bill looked back and looked out of the exit of Drake Canyon to see a man in a black cloak standing in the wind. Judging from the figure, it should be a girl. The magic wand with a skull on his hand is particularly conspicuous.

Xuedia sneaked out of Leon's shadow when everyone entered the canyon to investigate the situation. Because of the huge scale of the magic used next, she had to prepare in advance to draw the magic array in advance with the powder of the magic ore.

"Magician?" Bill was a little surprised, "Didn't you say that the kingdom wouldn't send magician reinforcements?"

"I did say that the kingdom will not send mage reinforcements. However, I didn't say I wouldn't bring a magician with me. ”

Bill and the Guards seemed to see hope, "So our mission is to protect the magician?"

Leon nodded: "Yes, your mission is to prevent the high-ranking warriors of the Imperial Army from entering the range of the magic array!"

"What about the Kazakh side?" Although his side seemed to see hope, Bill still did not believe that five hundred cavalry alone could contain another army of three thousand men.

"I didn't expect them to hold back. This is just to prevent the Empire's undercover agents from stealing my tactics and passing them back to the Imperial Army. ”

"And what are they going to do?" If it weren't for the containment, Bill really couldn't think of any use for the five hundred cavalry.

"Siege!" came out of Leon's mouth.

"Siege?" Not only Bill, but even the guards behind were surprised. "How can the cavalry attack the city?"

"You'll know when this battle is over!" Leon pretended to be mysterious.

"It's coming!" shouted one of the guards.

Everyone looked towards the entrance of the canyon, and saw the Imperial Army, led by a cavalry brigade, heading towards this side.

"Everyone retreat outside the canyon and protect the magic array!" Leon ordered directly when he saw the Imperial army entering the canyon.

At the same time, Xue Tia closed her eyes and began to gather her magic.

"Report!"

The Imperial Army scouts report to Krahr, the supreme commander of the operation.

"What's going on?" asked Krall, impatiently.

"Report to my lord, there are 32 people at the exit of Drake Canyon, 31 of them are heavily armed and one is dressed as a nobleman!" the scout knelt down and provided reconnaissance information.

"32 people are trying to stop my army of 3,000? hahaha, it looks like these 32 people are death squads!" Caral laughed arrogantly. "Aeolos, lead your cavalry regiment and rush straight out of the canyon!"

"Yes!" A large, heavily armed man on a war horse appeared in front of the army.

"Imperial Cavalry Regiment! Ready! Charge!"

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

Five hundred cavalry began to rush to the exit of the gorge with the momentum of the Yellow River!

Hearing the charge of the Imperial cavalry, the guards felt a great pressure.

After a period of condensing her magic power, Xue Yuanya suddenly opened her eyes, and the magic power of her whole body burst out, and the sky was shrouded in her powerful magic power, and a large dark cloud appeared: "The spear of the broken halberd, the sleeping bones, the resentful spirits sleeping in the depths of the earth." From this moment on, obey my orders, crush the enemy army, and capture the enemy formation, the endless army of the undead!"

After the incantation was chanted, a huge magic array with a radius of ten meters began to glow in the clearing.

The members of the guards around the magic circle felt a chill coming from behind them, and a cold sweat broke out.

Immediately after, the ground began to loosen, and skeletons armed only broke through the ground and rushed straight into the canyon.

Not only the Guards, but even Bill was frightened by the massive skeleton army, and felt the urge to flee from here.

"Don't panic, everyone! These skeletons won't hurt you! Keep in good formation!" Leon also sensed that the team was not good, and immediately reminded everyone.

At this time, the imperial army also noticed the abnormal phenomenon outside the canyon.

"What's that?!" Krar asked hurriedly.

The surrounding generals were divided, and they didn't know what was going on in front of them.

"Report!" the Scout rushed back from the front, shouting, "It's a mage!

"What? Didn't the information you got say that the Warwick Kingdom didn't send a mage to reinforce it??, is the information fake? Bastard!" Clar was furious. Because of this information, the Empire did not send reinforcements from the magicians. If the enemy has a magician, he may not be able to capture Pakabe City!

"Does the enemy magician have a few people?" Clare, who had calmed down, began to think of a countermeasure.

"Only one person!"

"Only one person?" everyone present was stunned, and then burst into laughter.

"Scared me to death, there was only one person! Clair breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that there was only one magician on the enemy's side.

Although powerful magicians can turn the tide of the war, in the current human world, the only magicians who can withstand the army of 3,000 are the two major empires and the Cult!

"Pass my orders, and the whole army will attack!"

Upon learning that there was only one magician on the other side, the morale of the Imperial Army suddenly increased.

When the Imperial cavalry was about to rush to the exit, they saw skeletons pouring in from the exit.

"Lord Aiolos!, what's that?" the adjutant kicked the horse in the belly and caught up with Aiolos.

Aiolos obviously also noticed this, and said with a solemn expression: "That's the army of the undead!

As a well-informed officer of the Empire, Aiolos recognized this magic at a glance!

"What kind of magic is it?" the lieutenant had apparently never seen this formation.

"That's evil magic that only witches can use!What happened to the army in the back?"

"We've already rushed up after us!"

"So you can't retreat?" Aiolos thought slightly, looking at the skeleton soldiers rushing at the entrance. "It's good that it's just an infantry skeleton, in this case, it can't withstand the charge of the Imperial cavalry. Crush them for me!"

Anyway, there is no way back, it is better to rush the enemy army in one go!

Ordinary skeleton soldiers could not stop the charge of the Imperial heavy cavalry at all, and one by one they were broken and scattered on the ground.

Leon saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, if this magic could not resist the footsteps of the Imperial army, then this war would be lost!

"Xuedia!" Leon shouted back.

"I know!"

Xuedia also saw that the skeleton soldiers she had summoned were scattered and were no longer kept. The magic power of the whole body rose again, and the staff also emitted a faint light! This time, the entire sky above the canyon was shrouded in Xue Yuanya's black magic, and only the light of the sky in the distance could be seen!

Caral and others in the rear also clearly felt this change. If the previous scale seemed acceptable to them, it now made them tremble.

"What the hell is this magic?" said Karaal, desperately figuring out what was going on.

"This kind of magic is almost catching up with Lord Berg, right?"

"Is there still such a person in the kingdom?"

The generals of the empire fell into despair in the face of this huge magic power.

This kind of scene, they had only seen it when the head of the Imperial Magic Regiment, the 6th-order fire magician Berg Fen, was going all out!

"No, you can't be defeated like that. Lead your men and take out the magician on the other side!" "Caral is not willing to fail like this, even if he uses all his strength, he must also solve this magician!

"Yes!"

With Xuetiya's increasing magic power, more skeleton soldiers poured out of the magic array, and skeleton cavalry riding bone war horses appeared one after another!

When the imperial cavalry saw the skeleton cavalry, they immediately panicked.

This kind of skeleton cavalry is different from the ordinary skeleton soldiers before them, they are all real heavy cavalry when they are alive! If they collide with them, they will not die or be disabled!

The most terrifying thing is that they have no life, even if they are knocked apart, they will still emerge from the magic array in a steady stream, and their side is full of living life.

The Imperial heavy cavalry rushed into the army of skeletons, and finally disappeared like a stone in the sea. Faced with a steady stream of skeleton cavalry and ordinary skeleton soldiers, the Imperial cavalry, after losing nearly a third, could no longer hold on and hurriedly retreated.

"Withdraw!"

"Retreat!"

The sound of retreat came and went.
