"What?" the Dugu witch stared at the general in surprise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The general raised his head and said without humility or arrogance: "The fate of the elven race after death is the Jingming River and the River of No Return, only by throwing the body given to us by the World Tree into the two great rivers, the soul will float on the river, go down the river to other countries, and start the next journey of reincarnation." To leave a dead companion alone would be to ignore the most precious souls that the sun and moon have given to our tree-people, which no elven can accept. ”

The Dugu witch was puzzled and said, "What's the matter?"

"Perhaps as human beings you do not understand, because the human soul is under the jurisdiction of the god of death, Volo, and one day will be able to return to her arms. But the elves can't, only the river of the dead can give the soul rest. ”

General Steelwing couldn't bear to say: "We who are alive at this moment have all experienced death and bathed in the waves of the river of the dead. Every soul yearns to return to the Jingming River, because although the elves are dead, they are looking forward to seeing their loved ones again. ”

Every soul ...... Are you all yearning to return to Jingmingchuan?

This shook Virgie's heart deeply.

He pushed through the crowd and ran to the general of the god of war, and said loudly, "The fallen soldiers of the Sun Elves must be recaptured, and one less soul falling into the hands of the necromancer is one less threat to us." Staying behind closed doors now is just throwing the problem into the future. ”

Virgie looked at the dark green clouds swirling in the sky and said, "Time is running out for us. The reason why the opponent has not had time to take the souls of the fallen soldiers is because too many skeletons and walking corpses have been defeated in the previous siege battles, and the souls they have dispersed have formed a chaotic spiritual pressure field, so that the necromancer cannot distinguish which souls already belong to her and which are still scattered on the battlefield. She is recalling the souls that have been taken away through the Soul Rejuvenation Array, and as long as the ritual is completed, the next step will be to snatch fresh souls!"

The Dugu witch said dissatisfiedly: "How can you have the right to speak!"

The General of the War God put his hand on Virgil's shoulder: "Your senior apprentice is the military advisor I invited, of course he can participate in the discussion." ”

General Steelwing grinned and said, "I didn't expect that there are also very sensible people among humans." ”

The Dugu witch was so angry that her face turned red and white for a while, and she was about to say something, but she was stopped by the principal.

"Of course, they should make their own decisions about other people's affairs, we are just helpers, and it is enough to try our best to provide assistance according to the ideas of the hosts. ”

The mage's military advisor said worriedly, "This decision is a very risky one. ”

"There are some things that can't just be seen as risk. "The children who died on the battlefield knew very well that they would face great risks in the war before they went to war. But they came anyway without any hesitation. Then we shouldn't hesitate to take them home. ”

Eventually, the tragic and heroic convergence operation began. The army of the undead dormant in the ground broke through the ground again, and the Sun Elf warriors shed their blood with tears in their eyes, fighting their way through the pile of skeletons and holding their shields firmly to protect the carriages that transported the fallen from destruction.

The soldiers did not complain, did not weep, did not value themselves a little because they were still alive, and did not treat their companions as a burden because they were dead. There is no clear boundary between the dead and the living, and everyone has only one thought in common at this moment.

No soul must be allowed to wander again!

In the end, the recapture battle was a crushing victory, but the Sun Elves once again lost enough city to hold on. The fortress at the foot of the mountain was breached, and the Sun Elves had no choice but to retreat forty kilometers to the east.

"Cangjin Fort is enough to hold out, we should evacuate over there. The general looked at the map and discussed with Vig.

Virgie shook his head firmly: "No." The place we are going to is the City of Rose Cross. ”

"Cross Roussa?" the general was surprised, "but it's a trading city, and it's hard to hold. ”

"Trust me, General. This war is not a conventional war. It can't be measured by common sense. ”

"What if the necromancers attack Cangjin Castle? After Cangjin Castle, it will be the industrial center of the Golden Dawn Forest. ”

"There's absolutely no way she's going to attack Cangjin Castle, because there's nothing she wants to eat. ”

Virgie smiled fiercely: "That guy doesn't know much about the art of war, it's just a beast chasing fresh pieces of meat." ”

The Sun Elf army retreated to the City of Rose Cross, and the avenue that originally led to the city gate was an extremely gorgeous passage planted with roses on both sides of the road, and it was the most proud geographical sign of the local residents. However, when they heard the news that the army was going to retreat to this side, they spontaneously organized manpower to hoe all the roses on the side of the road overnight, and although they could not help but be full of tears as they dug out the roots of the flowers, the scythe they waved were resolute.

"If the flowers are still there, the elves may only travel on the road to avoid stepping on the flowers, which will definitely slow down the march. So it's up to us to hoe these flowers with our own hands, so as to tell the soldiers who have been fighting on the front line for many days to get into the city quickly, for we hate war, but we absolutely welcome them. ”

Virgie held the withered flowers on the side of the road, sobbed slightly, and said, "It's a pity that Flora didn't see this." ”

The general of the military god was puzzled: "Why can't Her Royal Highness the princess see the path of flowers that have been cleared, do you feel a pity?"

Virgie smiled, "Because if she sees the determination of the people of the City of Rose Cross, she will understand that it is too pessimistic to worry about the death of the Sun Elves." A nation like this will never be easily defeated by war and darkness. ”

The general smiled and stroked his burnt beard, "That's a good point, Virgil. We're going to face the army of the undead again, and I can already smell the rotting smell of corpses wafting in the wind. I wish I hadn't destroyed this city as well. ”

"She will never be allowed into the city!" Virgil stared at the yellow dust rising to the west.

"Do you have any strategy?"

Without hesitation, Virgy replied, "The Gluttonous Apostle is not an opponent that can be defeated by ordinary means. I want to take a gamble. ”

General War's eyes widened slightly: "Bet?" Indeed, such a combat strategy will succeed if it does not succeed. I'll place cannons on the walls to delay the army of the undead, Virgie, you and the other generals go and prepare the next step. ”

The city walls were full of people, the people spontaneously helped the army to install cannons on the battlements, and the young men who lived in the city, most of whom worked as merchants or musicians on weekdays, rolled up their sleeves and sweated, and took great risks to stand with the soldiers, and they had a common identity.

Guardian of the homeland who will never give in.

Walking corpses began to appear on the horizon, clouds of resentful spirits obscuring the western sky, evoking wisps of purple lightning and sending the earth echoing with a dull thunder, just as it was time for the long-range cannon to fire.

"Fire!"

With the order of the general of the military god, all the cannons roared in unison, and the cannonballs dragged a sharp tail into small points of light at the end of the earth, and then the earth was like a pond thrown into a stone pond by a child, inspiring a circle of flames and ripples of shockwaves.

The necromancer was so angry that she saw the walking corpse she controlled being engulfed in flames, she sprinkled the blood on the ground, used the skeleton to expel the circle on the ground, and shouted: "Obey my call and come back to life!

The countless walking corpses around them exploded with a loud bang, and the broken limbs reassembled into a huge giant and several emaciated and pale old men.

Then five or six souls spilled out of the torrent of resentful spirits and poured into the makeshift corpses. The corpse opened its red eyes and began to move. This is the forbidden technique "spiritualism" that necromancers have used to deal with princesses before, and the effect is to summon specific spirits and create a temporary body to place them, so that the dead can be resurrected to use their former abilities.

Under the control of the necromancer, the alchemists chanted incantations, raised their hands, and poured unknown powder on the broken armor and broken weapons all over the ground, and these weapons glowed and turned into gold, and changed their form in the alchemist's training array, turning into solid gold armor and wearing it on the troll.

The troll let out a cry and swooped down on the city like a tall wall. The troll is huge and heavy, and with the protection of the golden armor, a long-range cannonball hits it head-on, and it will be bounced into the air!

The army of the undead continued to advance under the cover of the trolls. Although the cannons had turned the grasslands west of the City of Rosecross into flames and ashes, it could not stop the army of the undead from continuing to pounce.

The necromancer shouted arrogantly, "See! I have devoured a huge number of souls, and no matter what the situation is, I can awaken the corresponding dead to help me! Every time I gain a soul, I will be replenished one point, and eventually I will become an all-knowing and all-powerful being who cannot be matched by even the gods!"

"Damn, this bastard alone is a well-rounded army. The General of the War God yelled at the Communication Crystal, "Virgil, aren't you ready yet!"

"Give us another half hour!"

"In five minutes, the walls will be breached!"

There was silence on the crystal's side for a few seconds, and then Virgie replied resolutely, "Then there won't be a minute to wait, we're ready." ”
