Before the poor scout was eaten by the hungry ghouls, news of the undead's imminent arrival in Probetz had spread to every corner of the city with a red magic signal rising into the sky.

Although only a handful of people knew what the red glow of a few dozen miles meant, the sentinels rang the alarm bell, which only rang in the most critical moments. The inhabitants of Probetz, who had been sleeping soundly, were awakened by the piercing bell, and one by one they seemed to be dispossessed.

People who overreact even begin to pack up their precious finances and intend to choose a way to escape. If the undead surround the whole of Probetz, then they will only have the fate of becoming skeletons.

Part of the Bohemian Patriotic Army on a mission was pulled out of the warm bed by their superiors, put on armor and groped for their weapons in the dark. In the midst of the panic, these poor people, who had just woken up, had already finished their formation outside the camp.

According to the requirements of the war plan, as soon as the news of the undead approaching Probetz was received, the troops on duty must immediately enter a state of combat readiness and then quickly go to their respective posts. Only by maintaining a certain number of troops on duty at all times will Probetz avoid the possibility of being quickly captured by the undead.

Because the undead are not exhausted, they can attack Probetz at any time.

The alarm bells continued to ring, and groups of soldiers carried blazing torches through the narrow streets. Among them were the defense troops who were preparing to defend the city walls, and the guards who were responsible for maintaining order in the city at this critical time.

Probetz could only resist a siege from outside if he maintained a stable order, so it was necessary to take some of the people on duty to maintain law and order.

Naxi, who was tired, rubbed her face, hoping to sober herself up. He was walking in the wrong direction on the street, and before he could reach the magic group, he was called by the herald to assemble at the command post in the city.

His left hand gripped the star so tightly that he looked back at the red signal magic that hadn't completely disappeared from the sky.

The night was a little dim, and Naxi, who couldn't see the reference object in the distance, couldn't tell where the signal was. If only we could know when this magic appeared. Then he could guess where the undead had arrived.

Now he can only hope that the sentry on duty will report all the useful information to the command post, so that he can have a bottom in his heart.

"It was only about fifteen minutes ago that the signal magic was observed by the sentinels. Perrault, the head of the Maple Leaf Knights, pointed to the military map placed on the table.

After receiving the sentry's report, he had already concluded that the undead had appeared. So he sounded the alarm in accordance with the process laid out in the previous meeting.

Naxi estimated and recalled everything he saw on the way to the command post, and after calculating for a while, he said, "If my estimate is not wrong. The undead are only forty kilometers away from us at most. ”

"What, it's only forty kilometers, isn't that only a day's journey away?"

"Didn't you say it would be at least two days before we met those undead?"

This sudden information surprised everyone present, they did not expect the undead's footsteps to come so quickly, one day earlier than the pre-judged information.

Although it seems to outsiders that two days are not much different from one day, it is this short one-day difference that disrupts the plans of many people present.

It will take another day for the walls of Probetz to be reinforced, some of the combat readiness facilities outside the city have not yet been laid, and the combat training carried out by the Patriotic Army in various places has not yet been completed. The whole of Probetz has not yet faced the undead scourge in its most complete form. This made everyone present a little panicked.

Naxi was no exception, and his magic group also had some training that was not completed. Originally, it was planned that in the next two days, the magic group would conduct a final combat exercise with the rest of the troops. Now it seemed that the urgency of the military situation did not allow Naxi to do this, and he only had one day to prepare everything.

Looking at everyone's solemn expressions, Naxi sighed. It would be nice if there was more time, at least I would have more confidence in the face of the undead disaster.

There are not so many ifs in reality, and sooner or later the undead catastrophe will come. Since there is no probation for that day, Probetz can only face it.

"How are your men doing now?" was Prince Harold's primary concern. If this sudden military situation has a huge impact on morale, then things will get troublesome.

Probets, whose hearts are fluctuating, simply cannot hold out under the siege of the undead.

"It's fine. They are fairly emotionally stable. I don't know who muttered. Many people laughed out loud because of this unintentional mistake, which made the tense atmosphere a little relieved.

"If that's really the case. That's pretty good news. Naxi touched his nose and said. He hadn't gone to the wizards to find out about his subordinates, and he could only pray that the magicians wouldn't be in a mess because of the commotion in the streets.

Harold sighed and said, "No matter what good news or bad news there is, we must enter a state of war as soon as possible." ”

"Let's go according to a pre-defined plan. Harold said to all the generals present, "On the first day of our war against the undead, all of us had to rely on the walls and various means of defense to resist the onslaught of the undead. ”

In the previous meeting, Naxi and the others had already discussed it. The first day of fighting was mainly defensive. First, you can test all previous speculations about the undead in the battle, and collect all the information about the undead.

The key to the battle is to keep the defenses of the Knights of the Maple Leaf firmly in line and find out where the necromancer is. When the enemy is paralyzed and careless, and the whole army presses down in an attempt to destroy the entire Probetz in one fell swoop, let the Maple Leaf Knights launch a counterattack charge. Perform a decapitation operation on the necromancer.

Saying this, Harold glanced at Perrault and Naxi: "Are you two ready for the next day's action?"

Naxi took out the battle plan that he had stayed up all night to revise, and the reason why he was so tired was completely due to this battle plan. After a heated discussion with Perrault, he reluctantly wrote all of Prince Harold's requests.

Taking over Naxi's revised battle plan, Harold took a cursory look at it and found that the content had been revised many times and was already very suitable for actual combat.

"Very well, you two will continue to communicate according to this plan. If there are no other emergencies, you can follow the above content. Harold handed the plan back to Naxi.

"Since fate has made us face these undead, let us crush them completely!

"Long live Bohemia!" (to be continued......
