At night, Gustav's army quickly crossed the line and launched an attack on the Southern coalition.

Augustberg, with a few of his men, stood at the top of the castle and watched quietly. The light on the torch next to him reflected his face.

In the cold night, the shouts of the charge quickly spread.

The fires in the camp of the Confederate forces were lit almost at the same time, indicating that they had been prepared.

Richie stood in front of his tent and looked at Augustberg at the top of the castle in the distance, and Augustberg was watching him.

The forces of the coalition forces began to converge frantically in the direction of Gustav's vanguard, catapults, heavy crossbows, and various heavy weapons were quickly put into use. Waves of arrows rained down from the sky.

In the blink of an eye, Gustav's vanguard had been almost completely lost. However, the Lichs never appeared on the battlefield at all. It looked like Richie had attacked August, not August.

"His Royal Highness Augustberg!" The herald in armor hurriedly came behind Augustberg and knelt down on one knee: "The vanguard can no longer hold on, there is an ambush on the opposite side! ”

Augustberg slowly raised his head, looked in the direction of Richie in the distance, and replied coldly: "Don't retreat, continue to attack." ”

The herald was a little anxious: "However, this is a trick from the other side, they are waiting for us to attack!"

"What do you want him to do if he can't even solve this problem? I didn't even ask him to make any results, did I?"

The herald was stunned for a moment, but had to stubbornly reply, "Yes!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Glancing at the battlefield, Augustberg snorted coldly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Is it interesting to set up an ambush just now?" Aren't you going to send the White Bone Holy Light Holy See to play?"

Richie, who stood in front of the tent, silently stared at Augustberg.

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon, the sneak attack turned into a frontal battle. More Gustavus troops crossed the line and rushed towards the troops of the Confederate Union. Faced with the sudden increase in defensive pressure, the Southern Alliance could only respond in a hurry.

Although Richie had already ordered the fortifications to be built, the time was too short, and most of the fortifications were not completed. They needed to carry the attacks of Gustav's army, especially the cavalry charge.

Halls himself went into battle with his spear.

Wave after wave charged, Gustav's soldiers roared and roared, and the corpses on the battlefield were already piled up. However, Gustav's soldiers were still rushing forward like crazy.

There is no doubt that the Southern Army has the upper hand, but this scene is indeed terrifying.

Under the wave of charges, although the Southern Army suffered few casualties, faintly, the morale had begun to waver a little.

"These soldiers took the medicine. Sarina's voice rang in Richie's head.

"What medicine?" asked Richie.

"A medicine that can dispel people's fears, and the side effects are huge. ”

Richie still quietly looked out at Augustberg in the distance.

Augustberg also looked at him quietly, touching his chin and smiling. It was as if he was going to win right away.

"Oh no! the left line has been torn apart!" a herald shouted as he ran towards Richie.

"Torn?" Richie turned his face to the side.

The lords standing beside Richie seemed to be a little unsettled.

"Yes!" replied the herald, kneeling on one knee before Rich, "their cavalry has already stormed our camp!

"Left Line...... "Allen King Barnett III's face turned white, because his troops were on the left line.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Richie looked at Barnett III and said casually.

On the other side, Augustberg seemed to be smiling even more.

......

Left Wing Camp.

The frenzied Gustavus cavalry rushed back and forth, almost all the tents were set on fire, and the soldiers of the Southern Army fled in all directions, driven and slaughtered like lambs.

A Gustav cavalryman charged at the Allen infantry, and the soldier hurriedly raised his spear to prepare for defense. However, his body was quickly impaled by the Gustav cavalry rushing from the side.

Barely paused, the two Gustav cavalrymen rushed to the next battlefield.

Like a swarm of locusts, Gustav's cavalry surged back and forth, frantically expanding their gains.

When the legion is large enough to a certain extent, the most decisive factor is morale. Obviously, the morale of the Southern Army was no match for these drugged Gustav cavalry.

At the same time, gaps began to appear in all directions of the front. Wave after wave of Gustav soldiers frantically poured into the gap.

As if to see hope, the Gustav Emperor Cedric V once again strengthened the forces of the offensive, which had reached the point of hysteria.

Gradually, the panic has begun to spread.

Just when the morale of the soldiers of the Southern Alliance was on the verge of collapse, without warning, with a "boom", the ground in the middle of the camp burst open. A huge undead spider crawled out of the tunnel, and with a mouth, a large amount of spider silk spit out, instantly touching several Gustav cavalrymen.

Immediately after, one after another, one by one, the tunnel openings were broken. Countless undead spiders the size of cows burst out of the ground, swallowing spider silk and tearing the undead soldiers off their horses one by one. The worst part is that these spider silks are very sticky, and they stick to anything. Most of the cavalrymen who were pulled off their horses would be directly touched to the ground, and then strangled by the confederate soldiers who surrounded them.

In an instant, the situation was reversed.

Maybe it's not just a reversal.

As a result of the breach and seeing hope, more Gustav regiments threw themselves into battle. Now, they are all trapped in the encirclement of the Southern Alliance, and they have to face not only the huge number of soldiers of the Southern Legion, but also a large number of undead spiders.

With the help of undead spiders, the Southern Legion frantically harvested the besieged Gustav soldiers.

At the same time, the real main force of the undead legion in the south has not moved. Although a certain number of undead spiders have joined the battle, not even a single lich is visible on the battlefield.

The smile on Augustberg's face had slowly faded. He took a deep breath and sighed softly, "Is there an ambush after the ambush?" This is indeed not Grey, the Lich King. I've studied all of the Lich King's past battles, and none of the battles have resulted in mass casualties. I thought he would at least get the lichs to rush up and reduce his own casualties. It's a pity he didn't. ”

"Do you want them to retreat?" asked the girl next to her.

After thinking about it, Augustberg asked, "How much do you think you can get back?"

"It shouldn't be much. The girl craned her neck and looked at it twice, and replied, "They are already encircled." ”

"Since there aren't many, don't come back at all. Send someone to tell our Emperor His Majesty that we are not allowed to retreat. However, it is also possible to avoid the need to commit to the army. ”

"Yes!" the girl bowed and turned to leave.

......

Soon, the trumpets of Gustav's side sounded on the battlefield. It was a call to attack, and at the same time, no army had crossed the line anymore. Even those who had just crossed the line of defense retreated.

"They shrank their defenses. Sarina's voice rang in Richie's head.

Turning his face sideways, Richie said to the lords standing beside him, "Attack." ”

"Attack?" All of a sudden, the lords were stunned.

"Yes, it's our turn to attack. Rich whispered, "They attacked us, and there's no reason for us to just bear it, right?"

"I don't think that's necessary. Benedict II spoke: "Although they attacked us, we did not have much to lose. On the contrary, their losses are not small. ”

"yes, I think so too. King Barnett III of Allen hurriedly chimed in.

"If you're going to attack, I think it's worth asking the bishops of the Holy See to support you?" Arthur whispered.

Camilla also interjected, "Maybe we can let the undead troops come to the front." Their walls were high and their defenses were solid. We don't have to bear heavy casualties. ”

Her father, Duke Jean II, was nodding desperately beside her.

Irene looked at Richie from afar.

Richie was silent for a moment before he whispered, "There will be reinforcements when necessary, attack." ”

When he said this, Richie's tone was so cold that people couldn't believe it.

The lords' eyes widened one by one.

Towering walls, hard fortresses, tight defensive lines. Although the army of the Gustav Empire had suffered a lot of losses in this round of sneak attacks, there was no problem with their defensive line. A strong attack means huge losses.

However, Richie didn't seem to change his mind and remained silent. What appeared in front of the lords was a cold mask.

After a while, the lords could only nod silently, and then sent someone to start the order.

......

The horn sounded on the side of the Confederate coalition. They hadn't even fully eaten the Gustav army, which was surrounded by them, before they sounded the horn of attack.

Standing on the castle, Augustberg, who was already planning to leave, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Right before his eyes, a large number of Confederate soldiers began to rush forward. Various siege engines also quickly appeared on the battlefield.

......

"I think maybe...... There is no need for them to charge now. Delia whispered in Richie's mind.

"Now is the best time, they just suffered a round of defeat. Rich replied.

"But...... We also have casualties. ”

"You should think the other way around, their casualties are much heavier than ours. ”

"Then why not let the undead be the vanguard?"

Richie was silent for a long time before he replied softly: "The undead army is my hole card, and the black dragon is the opponent's hole card." They don't play their cards, and I can't play them. If I want to win here. ”

......

Flags hunt in the wind.

A large number of Confederate soldiers pushed the cart forward. With their shouts, they slammed against the gates.

A dense rain of arrows rained down from the sky, and the soldiers continued to charge forward with heavy shields.

Heavy crossbow arrows made of tree trunks shot down from the city walls, knocking the soldiers with heavy shields straight away.

Rolling stones, boiling water, and oil poured directly down the walls. A rocket rained down from the sky, and a fire broke out under the city walls in an instant.

A large number of soldiers rushed up the ladder and were soon pressed back.

The catapults on both sides frantically threw red-hot boulders at each other like shooting stars streaked across the night sky.

A terrible war is taking place.

Although the Confederate Alliance had the advantage in strength, it did not seem to be able to break through.

Augustberg stood on the castle and watched quietly.

"What does he want to do? Walls that can be breached by the undead at once, but he uses people to pile them up? And he may never be able to break down. ”

"I kind of can't figure it out. The dragon girl next to him whispered: "He doesn't need to do this at all, using the undead is the most correct way." Will...... There aren't many lichs supporting him at all?"

Saying this, Augustberg hesitated for a moment: "There aren't many lichs supporting him?"

"This so-called Lich King is most likely Richie, the son of the Lich King. Isn't the reason why we use humans to sneak up on us to determine how many lichs have come, how many lichs have been involved in this war? If there are fewer lichs to a certain extent......"

"But there aren't many legions of the undead here. ”

"Yes. However, just because there are legions of the undead doesn't mean there are more lichs. Maybe he just brought a lot of 'consumables'. Manipulating the undead, if you don't need to let the undead fight on their own, requires very little mana. Maybe two or three lichs can control so many undead. However, in the event of a war, they will be vulnerable. ”

Augustberg looked at Richie.

At this moment, several giant elephant undead in the camp of the undead legion in the distance staggered to their feet, walked out of the camp step by step, and walked towards the front line. The soldiers made way for them.

"Do you want to use the giant elephant to break down the city wall, and then let the humans be the main force?" Augustberg touched his chin and thought for a moment, and whispered to the girl next to him, "Burn the giant elephant." ”

"Burn it, burn it with what?" the girl was stunned for a moment.

"With our men, do you still expect those humans to burn giant elephants? Send our men out, send two is enough, not too many. Let's see if he really doesn't have much lich support. ”

"Yes!"

......

Behind the messy walls, a large number of Gustav soldiers were busy defending themselves.

Suddenly, the two soldiers suddenly stood still.

The next moment, the two turned into huge black dragons, and jumped onto the city wall with a "bang". Under pressure, the thick walls were a little crumbling.

Even Gustav's own soldiers scattered in all directions.

Spreading their wings, the two black dragons slowly took off, crossed the city walls, and roared towards the giant elephant.
