Snake City was like a giant war machine, it was activated in just a moment, but the Blood Clan was still in chaos. It felt like a young man facing an old man. So stark.

Although the vast majority of people felt that Giant Snake City could not defeat the entire Bloodline on its own, the vast majority of people also couldn't imagine how such a Bloodline could win the war.

Gradually, the blood clan at the bottom began to panic.

That panic was a terrible ordeal.

Many years later, one of the Kindreds, recalling the experience, said, "It's terrible, it's terrible. It's as bad as you can imagine. When I woke up, the whole world changed. ”

"In the beginning, I felt that our way of life was the right one, and that the Senate was supreme. There is nothing that the elders have to do. When I first learned that the talks between Giant Snake City and the Senate had collapsed, I thought that Giant Snake City was simply crazy, how could they have the courage to fight against the Senate?"

"And then?" the listener asked.

"Later I thought it might be the Senate that went crazy. Almost no one in the entire Bloodline is ready to face a war in the truest sense of the word. The complainer shook his head, his eyes filled with frustration, as if he had been hit hard. Of course, perhaps he did experience a major blow: "When you walk into the barracks and find that your comrades can't even hold their swords well, and they are talking to you about the girls at last night's ball...... It's a kind of despair, you know? You don't necessarily think the Senate is going to lose, but you do think this war is going to be a disaster. It would be a disaster for the entire Bloodline. I don't understand why the Senate would expect such a group of people to fight. ”

"And later?"

"Then I found out that the Senate really didn't expect such a group of people to fight. Well, I take back my words, and they're not crazy. But it was still a disaster for the Blood Clan, and everyone quickly discovered that everything they were proud of, attention, was useless in the fight against Giant Snake City. War is a professional discipline, and it is not something that can be understood by those arrogant and stupid people. At least not for a short time. ”

"Yes, Count Messier, I see what you mean. ”

At the same time, the inhabitants of Mega Snake City were a completely different story.

"When Lord Jones was invited to the High Court, I knew something was wrong. Really, I had a hunch at the time. How could those bloodsucking things allow us to live the life we want in Serpent City? I'm sorry, but I don't mean to insult Lord Jones when I say bloodsucking things, in fact I have a lot of respect for Lord Jones. I'm referring specifically to the High Court gang. At the time, I was very worried that they would detain the Jones City Lord. Thankfully, they didn't. Or maybe the Jones City Lord was shrewd enough to keep their ruses from succeeding. Anyway, we're starting to go to war. ”

"And then?"

"A fire burned in my heart!"

"Huh?"

"We can finally give those bloodsuckers a taste of what it's like to be trampled underfoot! I'm sorry, but I'm not insulting the Jones City Lord, I'm referring specifically to the Bloods of the High Court. ”

"Okay, I understand, you go on. ”

"If it weren't for the laws of Megasnake City, I would even look forward to buying a blood nobleman who had been reduced to slavery back, preferably my former master, and then I would ravage him severely! Give him what I gave him, double it! I will tear him apart! If I can meet them on the battlefield, I hope they don't surrender, so that I can kill them justifiably!"

"Uh...... But at that time, most people thought that you would lose, didn't you think about running away?"

"We don't have a choice, Morka. We are slaves, or have been. Even if we know the outcome, we don't have a choice. There is only one way in front of us, and that is to kill them! Whoever wants to turn us back into slaves, we will kill him! That's all! Maybe you don't understand that feeling, but I've come here myself. When you have been a slave and you have your freedom again, you will never want to lose it. No matter what the other person tempts you, you will not sell your freedom. If I can't stay free, then I'd rather die in battle!"

Anyway, the war has begun.

Jones was in a hurry to prepare in the city of the Giant Snake, from soldiers to weapons and armor to food and grass. A month later, everyone in Mega Snake City was confident and ready for a grueling war.

However, the "army" of the Bloods did not arrive as promised. Yes, they were absent. They're still bogged down in endless strife.

None of the "soldiers" had any training to fight on the battlefield, and they didn't even know the structure of the army, or rather, they didn't have any structure in the first place.

There is no uniformly deployed armor and equipment, and there is no flag for identification. On the issue of military deployment, tactics, and so on, there is even more of a blank.

The Bloodclan with a little insight has already realized the seriousness of the problem. Letters requesting peace talks flew like snowflakes to the Senate. Strangely, however, the Senate doesn't seem to see anything wrong with this. Still resolutely demanding to prepare for war.

The entire high court has become a pot of porridge.

"I can't believe they can mess around like this, don't they even have basic military common sense?"

"No, I think it's normal. Belle said to Jones, "It was hard for me to imagine it before. The Bloodlines don't have any books on warfare, and we haven't been involved in war for over 10,000 years. Even, whether there has been a real war in the history of the Bloodline is a question. The largest battle I've ever heard is when a few Blood Lords send out their own zombie legions, none of which are more than a thousand in size. Although we often see dramas about war in opera, the vast majority of the pages are about love, and there are very, very few details about war. It can even be said that there is none. ”

Well, it is, and in retrospect, Jones would have had no idea about war if he hadn't gone to the human world and followed Gray.

The entire blood clan has touched a field that belongs to their knowledge blind spot.

In the midst of this chaos, the Bloods spent three months.

......

In late April of the fourth year of Silver Moon, Jones, the city lord of Giant Snake City, who had already been fully prepared, finally gave the order for the army to attack.

For the sake of prudence, Jones did not choose to adopt a surprise attack tactic such as a space passage, but instead set up a formation with a large army, and then slowly advanced in the direction of the High Court. This is a nightmare for the entire Blood Clan.

You must know that on this road, there are countless castles, and there are countless blood lords with all their net worth. That included Susan's cousin's family.

Well, her father has been drafted into the High Court, and only she and Aunt Sarah are left in the house.

When she met Jones, Susan's cousin's expression was complicated. After all, Jones was once her "fiancé".

Jones didn't even look at her, patronizing Aunt Sarah, who was terrified.

Although Cousin Susan is very annoying, Aunt Sarah is generally good to Jones. At least she had considered making Jones her son-in-law, hadn't she? Jones didn't bother them too much, and just let them go. They were even given a sum of money to buy their family's castle and all their slaves.

In contrast, the other lords were not so lucky.

"All slaves in the occupied territories shall be emancipated. All the land occupied by our army is to be owned by the residents of Giant Snake City. And the wealth on it. To put it simply, it is confiscated. Unless the lord of the realm declares that they renounce their allegiance to the Senate, but I know they can't do it. ”

"But didn't you say you wanted to protect private property?"

"That's limited to the property I promised to invest in Mega Snake City. This enemy property is not included. Someone from each of them has been summoned to the High Court, hasn't they?"

Jones's advance was slow, and on his way from Serpent City to the High Court, he annexed his territory, freed slaves, and confiscated all the property of his rival lords. In the process, Jones gained the support of a large number of slaves, and his power grew even further.

However, it must not grow much. After all, in a way, slaves are not much better than slave owners. At most, they are more willing to fight, and they also have no combat training, so they need to start from scratch.

This caused an uproar in the High Court, and in a way, it promoted the integration of the High Court's military forces. Of course, no one knows what it will be integrated into.

In any case, in June of the fourth year of the silver month, after half a year of tossing, the armies of the two sides really faced each other on the banks of the Adesi River on the Colin Peninsula.

......

In front of Jones, there was a vast army of zombies, boundless, wearing a variety of armor. Obviously, it was put together on an improvised basis.

The total number is about four million, much more than Jones's army of the undead.

However, apart from zombies, there are only blood clans. Of course, there may be some logistical troops of other races, but those are negligible.

The zombies walked in heavy armor, and the Bloods were all in the airships. The airship in the sky covers the sky.

Among the many airships, there was one of the largest red airships, which hung in the air like a flying city-state, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

In contrast, Jones's army of the undead, which totaled less than 300,000, and nearly 50,000, a legion cobbled together by other races.

However, Jones's legion is much better equipped than the other side. Because of the long enough time to prepare, even the lowliest skeleton soldiers were donned with the finest armor they could bear. One by one, armed to the teeth.

There was hardly any "foreplay", and Jones directly ordered the horn to be blown.

The army began to march in orderly steps, little by little, along the banks of the Adesi.

In response, the zombie legions on the opposite side also began to advance little by little. However, it is not neat, but sparse. You can often see some zombies fall due to unsteady footing, and then quickly trip over their companions behind them. Eventually, a large piece will be tripped.

Adair was dumbfounded.

Whenever this happens, a Blood Overseer will come down from the airship with a long whip and put the zombies back in order.

Jones stood on the bone dragon and looked silently at the huge red airship.

The people in the red airship were also quietly watching him.

Time passed bit by bit, and the armies on both sides were slowly advancing.

It wasn't until they were about a hundred meters away that the undead on the side of Giant Snake City took the lead in the charge, roaring and rushing towards each other.

The zombies on the other side seemed to want to charge, but they couldn't do it fast.

After a few dragon roars, the dragons soaring in the sky quickly swooped down from the sky, and several dragon breaths swept directly from the front line of the High Court Legion. All zombies touched were instantly burned to ashes.

Immediately after that, there is the undead giant elephant. A large number of undead giant elephants stepped on zombies and rushed directly into the enemy line, followed by countless undead spiders and skeletons.

The front of the zombie army seemed to collapse in an instant. But soon, they stabilized again.

The undead have no fear, and this is the same for both the Mega Serpent City and the Senate. There are as many as four million zombie legions, enough for them to pile up the walls with corpses.

A large number of undead knights, under the command of the lich, began to make a rapid detour and charge the enemy line.

The Giant Snake City side even erected a giant catapult. Under the manipulation of their own zombies, the flints that pierced the night sky were like meteor showers, and they bombarded the positions of the High Court Legion in large areas. That scene can be described as flesh and blood.

Of course, there are occasional airship tricks, but there are bloodlines on the airship, and they can inject magic into the airship to form a shield. So, even if it hits, it's just a few shakes.

"Do you want a general attack?" Elder Adrien whispered to Elder Barsaromu, who was sitting in a high-backed chair next to him, in the airship cabin.

"Why the general attack?" interjected Elder Felix, "This is just the beginning, isn't it? Their lichs haven't even entered the battlefield yet." Just let them fight, four million. Even if you stand and kill them, they will kill until they are soft, and they will kill until their magic power is exhausted. Don't forget, the advantage of zombies is that they have rough skin and thick meat. ”

Adair's father, Prince Louis, was in the same airship, quietly watching the three elders from a distance.

At the same time, the other ones were brought in to act as "soldiers", and the Blood Lords who were in the midst of the other airships had begun to feel pain.

These zombies ...... It's all money. The giant elephant stepped out with one foot, and it was five hundred gold coins. The bone dragon scattered a dragon's breath, and at least a few thousand gold coins were gone...... And that's not even counting the armor on them.

After being silent for a while, Elder Barsaromu turned his face sideways and whispered to Elder Felix, "Send a detachment out and deal with that team of undead knights first." Do not stay in the cavalry. ”

"Good. Felix replied.
