Chapter 371: The Shadow Brought by the Scourge Legion
The city of Granada has been attacked by the undead, and now the city has been thrown into chaos!
This was the news that the Royal Army of Balleca had received during its march, and the Royal Army, which had accelerated its march, arrived at the city of Granada in the early morning four hours ahead of schedule. What imprinted into the eyes of the army is a tragic offensive and defensive battle, the black army of the undead is like mildew, the world surrounds the city of Granada, the whole city has been filled with black smoke but the resistance has not stopped, there seems to be soldiers standing on the city wall who are desperately resisting, but under the impact of the undead army like a tide again and again, it looks dangerous.
The army of the Kingdom of Baleka, which had just arrived, could not take a break, and after a little reconnaissance of the battlefield, the commander immediately mobilized heavy cavalry to assist the city defenders from the east side to open a passage into the city from the encirclement of the undead army.
Soon at the sound of the horn, the heavy cavalry began to charge in groups, with the help of the cavalry's maneuver and charge, and with the assistance of the large-scale group magic of the magicians, the battle plan was carried out very successfully! The seemingly solid encirclement network was quickly torn open by the heavy cavalry, and the king of the kingdom of Baleka was not inferior to the army of the undead in terms of numbers, and the phalanx of heavy infantry immediately filled the gap that was knocked open when the cavalry charged, which prevented the undead army that would not collapse due to morale from closing the formation to surround the heavy cavalry troops.
"The first phalanx is moving forward, and the shield guards must hold on to the tower shields, and these skeletons must not be allowed to break through the defensive line!" commanded the centurion in the heavy infantry phalanx.
Shieldmail-clad shieldguards slowly advanced in pairs with massive tower shields, spearmen in the rear pinning the tips of their spears into the heads of the undead. Behind the heavy infantry phalanx, there was also a whole brigade of Silver Cloud Archers who sprinkled arrows from the sky at the army of the undead, although they did not use the silver arrows that possessed the power to destroy the undead, but even this low-level undead such as skeletons and zombies were lost enough to make any necromancer feel heartache.
Stepping on the ground with a creepy creepy click, facing an enemy who flips the rhythm of life and death, the soldiers of the Baleka Kingdom Legion still feel furious when they actually face the enemy. Look ~ look! Those corpses that should have been buried in the ground were able to stand up, they had turned into bones, the muscles of the whole body had rotted, and even the heads had been ruptured to reveal putrid brains, but even so, these former 'humans' could still move.
Why is there such an incredible thing in the world, can human beings really come back from the dead like this?
Endure the fear and incomprehension in my heart. Although the morale of the army of the Kingdom of Baleka has suffered some damage, it is not low. Because the march is very smooth now, these undead seem terrible but are not opponents at all, although piercing their bodies will not kill them, but only by destroying their heads. Extinguish the fire of the soul, and the spirits of the dead will return to darkness.
"Kill!kill!kill!!"
The soldiers shouted slogans and continued to advance towards the city walls. There seemed to be cheers from the walls as well. The flag of the Kingdom of Baleka fluttered again, which made the soldiers of the advancing Kingdom Army more confident. In the command camp, the generals of the Kingdom Army watched the changes in the battlefield with satisfaction, as if victory was already a sure thing. Only a few mages were still frowning and observing the situation of the undead army, according to the opinion of a few high-ranking mages. To assemble such a large army of undead, it would take at least thirty or forty necromancers to work together, and this large-scale invasion of the undead could be the revival of the undead island of Atholos in the Endless Sea after thousands of years of silence?
While the mages were considering, the Kingdom Army had cleared the eastern wall of the undead, and the already tattered city gate was crumblingly lowered, and the soldiers immediately poured into the city to assist the defenders in defense, but when the soldiers stepped into the city, they found a terrible sight, holding various weapons, but the skeleton soldiers were staring at them with dry eyes shining with soul fire, and there was no living breath in the city at all, filled with an oppressive smell of death.
How did the army of the undead get in, aren't they still besieging the city outside?
I didn't have time to think about the undead in the city had already launched an offensive, and the first wave of arrows from the skeleton archers who were densely covered in the city walls made the advance infantry who entered the city dead and wounded, and the chaos suddenly spread, and the fear in everyone's hearts deepened the chaos again, and the soldiers who entered the city wanted to quickly withdraw from this ominous city that had been shrouded in the shadow of death, while the unsuspecting soldiers outside the city gate wanted to enter the city, and one entry and one exit instantly caused unimaginable chaos.
"What the hell is going on, why has the speed of entering the city slowed down?" the captain, who was completely unaware, shouted as he looked at the soldiers who were suddenly congested.
"Sir~ Look at the city wall, what is that!!"
The lieutenant's voice interrupted the captain's attention, and as the lieutenant pointed in the direction of his finger, the trebuchet of the city's tower had been installed with a number of iron buckets that were constantly emitting green mist. The generals in the command camp also discovered this situation, and an extremely ominous premonition instantly surged into their hearts, and before they could give the order to retreat, the trebuchet had already exerted its power and threw the iron bucket in the direction of the main force of the Ballaika Kingdom army!
Standing at the top of the city, the Lich King Arthas looked out at the area not far away where green smoke began to rise, and the blue fire in his helmet's eyes grew stronger and stronger. On the side, the death carol Karthas floated over and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, YiqiΔ has been executed according to your plan! The army of the Kingdom of Baleka has been infected by the plague of natural disasters, and they will soon join your army, and Mulwald and Ganilon are ready to attack, and now they are just waiting for your orders!"
After a moment of silence, Arthas waved his hand and gave a cold order in a dull tone: "Destroy them in the name of the Scourge Legion, and leave no one alive!"
"Obey Your Majesty!"
The situation on the battlefield changed unbelievably in an instant, all the undead who were still besieging the city suddenly adjusted their offensive and exposed their backs without hesitation, and they surrounded the entire Ballaika Kingdom army in a continuous roundabout way at the fastest speed, and the diffuse green plague gas made batches of soldiers fall to the ground, and after the mages used wind magic to block the spread of the poisonous gas, the entire Ballaika Kingdom army was almost instantly reduced by one-fifth! What's even more terrifying is that the soldier who was smoked by the poison gas quickly stood up again, and then unceremoniously aimed the weapon in his hand at the friendly soldier who was a companion more than ten minutes ago.
Soon a one-sided massacre began in the city of Granada, and in the distant sky outside the city, a pair of huge pupils were watching in amazement.

A few days laterββ
In the royal capital of the Baleka Kingdom in the western part of the continent, the priests of the temple were hurrying out of the palace, and an incredible bad news came from the front line, the undead army suddenly appeared in the territory of the Balleka Kingdom and occupied the border city of Granada, the undead army carried out a massacre of the entire city, not only that, the undead even ambushed the Ballaika Kingdom Army that went to the rescue, the entire fourteen Ballaika Kingdom Army was almost wiped out, and only less than 7,000 people fled back to the adjacent territory. Now that the realm is on full alert, the lords are constantly asking the royal capital for more troops, as they are facing a huge army of undead that has expanded to nearly 400,000 overnight.
Overnight, an army of 400,000 undead appeared on the land protected by the five supreme gods in the western part of the entire continent!
This is no longer a quantity that can be underestimated, obviously it is impossible to eliminate these undead with the power of the Ballaika Kingdom alone, after getting the news, the Holy Capital immediately sent a notice letter to the western countries of the mainland, and the western countries of the mainland did not make too many rhyming moves after receiving the notification letter, and the gathering of materials and troops was very rapid, this is no longer a state affair of the Ballaika Kingdom, who can guarantee that the undead army will continue to expand to other parts of the continent after devouring the entire Ballaika Kingdom, if you sit back and watch it for a little benefit now, then when the undead army hits your door, you will have no chance to regret itγ
Even if you want to talk about interests, then at least you have to wait until the army of the undead is settled!
The news that an army of 400,000 undead suddenly appeared in the western part of the continent and began to kill on a large scale could not contain it at all, and it didn't take long for the entire continent to talk about it. The countries in the eastern part of the continent have also raised their alert level, not because they are afraid that the undead will spread from the western continent, but there have been rumors recently that many ships at sea have witnessed the undead crossing the sea and heading towards the mainland, and judging from the route, the landing place of the undead is exactly the eastern part of the continent.
There is really an army of the undead in the west, and the rumors in the east have changed from gossip to news that the forces of various countries dare not take lightly, and the coastal countries have stepped up their coastal patrols and begun to guard them strictly, who knows if these blasphemous undead will organize a large army to slaughter the eastern continent like the west.
When the secular people began to talk about it, some unknown beings were also paying attention to the news of the recent appearance of the army of the undead in the western part ......of the continent, some were puzzled, some were happy, and some were half happy and half sad!
