Chapter 25: Dia's Winter (5)
The combined forces of Eric and Duke Elares broke through the Westtop front and swept through several undead strongholds in Sandru.
The warriors destroyed the towering dark canopy in the castle. With a deafening crash, the dark canopy ceased to emit a thick black fog into the sky, and the light gradually began to brighten.
Along with the darkness were the spirits of the undead roaming the city. The sky began to rain and wash away the blood and evil everywhere.
Trampling on the filthy rain, Eric and Duke Elares led dozens of heroes into the castle.
"Damn Sandru, what did he do to make my Vickers Castle?" Duke Elares stomped his foot angrily at the unrecognizable Vickers City.
With the exception of the city walls and the parliament building, which remained unchanged, the rest of the buildings have almost completely changed. The vast squares have been transformed into cemeteries, tombs, and towers, and the rows of houses have been transformed into evil temples, mausoleums, haunted mansions, and the Hall of the Dark Knights!
The place is completely uninhabitable! The evil aura of the city will not be dissipated at any time, and the cost of renovation will be a huge expense.
According to the agreement agreed in advance, Eric and the Duke of Elares will be bounded by Sosbanda Castle, and ten castles east of Sosbanda Castle will belong to Elares, and six castles to the west will belong to Eric.
The two had a long debate about how to divide the sphere of influence. Eric insisted on eight cities each, while the Duke of Elares was willing to give Eric's four castles on the grounds that Dia had been his domain. Until Eric got furious and said okay, then let Sandru destroy you first, and then I will take back all of Dia from Sandru.
Eric's words were so heavy that Duke Elares was so embarrassed that he had to make a slight concession.
But what can be done then? With his own power, let alone recovering Diya, even survival is in jeopardy. His army fought the necromancer Wilma for four years, and finally Sandru for another year, and it was already at the end of its power, and now it was reduced to the point of being ridiculed.
As long as people live, there will be hope!Duke Elares told his son Roland, bear with it for a while, and then find a way to drive Eric back to the Holy Light Island!
"Did he think he was still the chief priest of the Holy Light Island, and he was still so arrogant!" Looking at Eric, who had been leading the way in front, Roland couldn't help but say indignantly.
Duke Elares glanced at Roland. Rowland still struggled to suppress the displeasure in his heart. Duke Elares had no choice but to sigh and say, "Roland, our family has been in Diya for thousands of years. Many famous families in the world have become yesterday's yellow flowers, and our family is still brilliant, do you know what the reason is?"
Rowland was silent.
"Let me tell you, to the west of Dia is mighty Erathia, across the sea from Eri, and to the east is the Tytaria Marsh. We are caught between three lands, and either race could wage war against us. Our family's ancestral motto is forbearance. Roland, you're already a great commander, but you still have to learn how to lead a kingdom. You have to learn to choose the right friends at the right time, choose the right enemies, or it will be fatal!"
Rowland nodded. He looked at Eric standing on the city wall, and secretly said in his heart, you have to be shy, see how long you can get stuck!
Eric ignored the arguments behind Elares' backs. If you want to survive better in this world, if you want to gain the respect of people, you must have strong strength, even if this respect is only superficial.
He has always struggled with this belief, and even instilled this belief in his disciple Sandru. Now that the teacher and the student have turned against each other, the disciple is now coming to fight the master!
What did I do wrong? Suddenly went from being the most powerful man in the world to being a fugitive, to the point where I had to bargain with a little guy like Elares for a place to stay!
It's all that damn traitor Sandru! I'm going to crush your bones and dance on your ashes!
"Has Sandru's army moved?" he asked, asking one of the heroes who had been standing beside him. The man was an excellent son of his family, and he had always been loyal to him.
"How can Sandru sit still when you make such a big disturbance on the Westtop front? According to the scouts, Sandru has already set out from Southbanda Castle with an army of 50,000 men, and it is estimated that he will be here tomorrow afternoon. ”
"This is a very good battlefield, I will wipe out Sandru's undead army here!"
"Are you sure you want to use 30,000 troops against his army of 50,000?"
"What's that?" said Eric, waving his hand, "I've fought many battles with fewer enemies, and I'm not alive and well now?" tell us that the men of Duke Elares are ready to fight, and at once build fortifications on the city walls, and set up trebuchets and ballistas!"
"Duke Elares' people don't seem to be very friendly......"
"At the moment of the great enemy, they have no better choice but to cooperate unconditionally with me! If they do not obey the order, I will deal with them with military law!"
No one knew that he had reached a tacit agreement with the elven high priest Somra from Avili. After the battle, Somla will triple jump with the dimensional gate and quickly rush to Sandru's flank to flank him!
It is said that this time Gu Shiyu, Tanan, York, Kenloe, Eufrittin and others also came. This is the best young hero in the world today, which makes him full of confidence.
He won't tell anyone about this major deployment. As a good commander, you should be able to hide secrets in your heart.
A sleepless night was spent in the castle. After dawn, the weary warriors lay on the city wall wrapped in battle armor and took a nap.
When a large cloud of black air began to fill the western sky, the warriors had finished their meal and stood on the city wall in high spirits.
Eric did not send troops outside the city to stop him. He wanted to rely on the city wall, drag down Sandru, and finally give him a fatal blow!
Sandru's army was indeed quite numerous. His armies marched in succession, forming an attacking formation in the open field outside the city.
Sandru has five thousand vampire kings, five thousand corpse witch kings, and three thousand terror knights, as well as nearly fifty ghost dragons. The rest of the skeleton warriors, zombies, and ghosts are close to 40,000!
How would he attack? lead the way with fifty ghostly dragons and the vampire king, and then let the corpse witch king reach the front for a ranged attack?
Out of the army of the undead came a Nether horse. Could it be Sandru?
I saw him run to the city and shout to the city, "Teacher, I haven't seen you for a long time! Are you okay?"
"Sandru, do you still recognize me as your teacher? I have made you miserable enough! I didn't expect you to have the face to see me!"
"Teacher, I'm doing this for you! I want to beat Diya and give it to you in its entirety!"
"It's ridiculous! Do you think anyone will believe what you say? You have signed a devil's contract with Bellerien, the god of death, so that you will become this picture of people who do not look like people, ghosts who do not look like ghosts, what are you talking about allegiance to me?!"
"Teacher, please continue to support me! After we eliminate Duke Elares together, I will give you half of Diya's land!"
"What will you give me? a large cemetery? Leave it for yourself! Go back at once, and get your army ready to attack! I'll teach you one last lesson!"
"Teacher, you are indeed one of the most powerful shamans in the world, but so am I! There may be few people in the world who can defeat you, except your students! You will pay the price for your ignorance!"
"Alright then! Let me see what you've learned?!" Eric waved his hand, and countless bonfires and torches had begun to light on the walls!
Sandru rode back into the army and ordered the army to charge!
"Ready ......" Eric raised his hands in the air, waiting for the frenzied army of the undead to step within striking distance.
Sandru was also estimating the attack distance. He silently recited the dark inscription on his spell armor, and the dark clouds above Vickers Castle grew thicker.
What was he doing, why was the magic he was casting so far away? Eric was surprised. Could this be ...... Infinite Chew?
Had he already cast the Spell Armor? Oh my God!
Truly...... That's an infinite curse!
When the four most terrifying curses of Slowness Dafa, Evil Curse Possession, Weakness and Impending Great Tribulation descended on all the human warriors like black lightning, some warriors lay weakly on the ground, some warriors remained motionless like clay sculptures, and some warriors even dropped their weapons and ran down the city wall in fear!
"Don't run!" Duke Elares swung his sword and killed several people, but he still couldn't stop the soldiers from escaping!
As Eric chanted loudly, the dark clouds hanging over Vickers were torn open, and the holy light shrouded the earth again.
"Get back to the combat post!" shouted Duke Elares. Only then did the soldiers who had just woken up from a dream remember their responsibilities and ran up the city wall.
Taking advantage of this gap, Sandru's attacking forces had already rushed into the death zone! The poisonous mist emitted by the staff in the hands of thousands of corpse witch kings at the same time immediately caused a large number of soldiers on the city wall to fall!
"Attack their ranged troops!" Roland shouted. Dozens of heroes immediately slashed fireballs and lightning towards the Corpse Witch King's position.
Inside and outside the city, huge fireballs thrown by dozens of trebuchets whizzed across with thick smoke, and even collided in mid-air, blooming huge flames in mid-air.
Sandru didn't send his ghost dragon. But bat-like ghosts stamped on the walls and glided up with the help of their might, and the soldiers could even see the sharp teeth of the white forests in their mouths!
The terrifying vampire king also flew over in the dark, and more than 3,000 brave griffins in the city rose into the air and intercepted the vampire king in mid-air!
A chase immediately ensued in the sky! Countless corpses fell from mid-air, and it was impossible to tell which was the Vampire King and which was the Royal Griffin!
Eric was the first to see the power of the Spell Armor. He used a powerful prayer technique, but he couldn't resist the terrible spell of the Chewing Armor.
Although the soldiers were fighting, their morale was still not restored. Facing the dense undead warriors under the city, they were no longer like the fearless warriors who had been in a hundred battles in the past, and there was a look of fear in their eyes.
Sandru didn't use any attack magic, he just cursed over and over again, while Eric did everything he could to keep the soldiers awake and brave to fight.
Somla and Tanan are right, the Curse Armor and the Ghost King's Cloak must be destroyed anyway, or it will bring ruin to the whole world!
Eric had never fought a battle like this! Truth be told, his soldiers weren't much better than headless flies. Although they were fighting, it was only out of instinct for self-defense.
He could barely control his army, and could only try to ensure that they would not be defeated prematurely!
Oh my God, this kind of battle is really a wretch! Eric has a powerful attack magic, but now he has no choice but to be a daddy to the soldiers!
Don't let the undead warriors breach the walls under any circumstances, or it will be a massacre!
Zombie attacks can weaken people from poisoning, and if they bite you, they can even become their own kind!
Vampire Kings can restore their lives with human blood!
The explosive Terror Knights often deliver deadly critical hits, and the only thing that can stop them is the human heavy cavalry! Now that they are lining up in the streets, can they stop the swarming tide after the gates are breached?
What is even more terrifying is the evil ghost dragon, any brave soldier standing by its side will immediately lose their fighting spirit! Their terrifying attacks can make people age quickly, no matter how strong you are, you will suddenly become an old man who is about to enter the wood, and you can't even hold the shield and heavy sword in your hand! The only thing that can stop them is the dozens of archangels in the city as reserves......
Eric didn't dare to rush into the reserves, that would let Sandru know that he had reached the point of being at the end of his crossbow and would immediately launch a devastating attack!
Duke Elares rushed over with his heavy sword and said breathlessly, "Eric, I ask you to give the order to put your archangel troops into battle!
"No! No matter what, we have to keep going!"
"Alas!" exclaimed the Duke of Elares, "heroes, warriors, fight with me, if Heaven condemns us to die today, let us die with a bang!
Duke Elares raised his sword and took the lead in swooping down on the gap in the wall!
What could be more inspiring than a king personally joining the battle?
Sandru's army of the undead has already lost almost a third. He didn't feel the slightest guilt about these casualties, because they were undead who didn't feel anything. What is the loss of more than 10,000 troops? When he captures the castle, more than 30,000 new undead warriors will rise from the pool of blood!
The only regret is that he can't crawl out of the pool of blood...... It's too early to harvest the crops! Blame that damn Abigail, it's so hard to make a ghost king's cloak!
To his surprise, Eric hadn't sent his reserve Archangel into battle yet.
Is he being more patient with me?
"Let the ghost dragon attack! I'll have to get into the city before it gets dark, and then I'll have dinner in the castle!" Sandru breathed.
Dozens of ghostly ghost dragons bathed in a glow-white terrifying light, carrying the breath of death to the castle!
