Beyond the walls of the Potsdam Palace of the Rhine Confederation is a large stone square, which is a military forbidden place and is not allowed to enter or leave at will, so it is usually a silent barrier that separates the Potsdam Palace from the whole of Berlin.

But today, on the 31st day of the sacred calendar, the entire stone square outside the Potsdam Palace is full of flags and murderous spirits.

The most elite knights of the Rhine Confederation, the army of eighteen Rhine families, gathered in Berlin after the sound of the trumpet of the Ludwig administration, on the solid stone square outside the walls of the Potsdam Palace.

More than 800 years ago, Ludwig's ancestors gathered all the Rhine knights here, divided the land, and established the territory, and the Rhine Confederation appeared on the territory of the Eurent continent for the first time as a country, and became a major military power in the Orient continent.

Since then, a full 800 years have passed, and no consul has ever sounded this sad trumpet to summon all the Rhine knights, because in the will left by the ancestors, this trumpet can only be sounded at the moment when the Rhine Confederation is in a life-and-death situation, and it is the final and tragic battle to the death.

However, today, on the last day of the sacred calendar of 1787, the Ludwig consul on the walls of the Potsdam Palace put on a military uniform, and he was over seventy years old, and he once again put on the armor of the northern and southern wars.

Beside him was Reinhardt, a legendary armor gifted by the Church of the Radiant Lord three hundred years ago, a set of armor imbued with the power of light created by the Pope in recognition of the Rhine's efforts as a powerful backbone in the opposition to the Holy Norman Empire.

Reinhardt was originally the most handsome man in line with the traditional aesthetics of the Rhine, and wearing this "Glorious Blessing" armor, his whole body shone like the sun, but even so, he was not as powerful as the white-haired Ludwig's ruling momentum.

On the solid stone square, the elite army of the eighteen Rhine families all gathered here, they fulfilled the ancient contract with the ruling family, and in just five days after the cataclysm, regardless of the losses and disasters in their personal territory, they personally led the most elite knights of the family to Berlin, and everyone knew one thing in their hearts, a great war was about to happen!

Reinhardt looked at the tens of thousands of elite knights in the square, it can be said that more than half of the military forces of the entire Rhine Federation have gathered here, tens of thousands of soldiers and their mounts quietly did not make any noise, like silent sculptures silent, but this silence contains a powerful unimaginable power.

He nodded with satisfaction, as long as the Rhines still maintain the bravery of their ancestors, then this country will never be conquered!

"Warriors of the Rhine, since the establishment of the Rhine Confederation eight hundred years ago, our country has finally reached a dangerous moment, the undead of the buried land have poured out, and the dark sky has shrouded half of the country, they have chosen us as the first step to conquer the continent of Orrent, and the great war is about to break out!"

The impassioned voice of the Ludwig consul echoed throughout the stone square, reaching the ears of every Rhein knight.

"This battle will decide the fate of the entire Federation, once defeated, our country will lose the strength to resist, the sky will be shrouded in black clouds, the people will be enslaved by the undead, even death will not be able to return to peace, our country and nation will be completely decayed, can you accept such a tragic fate?"

"No! the Rhines will never give in!" At the call, all the Rhine knights became enthusiastic, and they held their guns in their right hands in unison, and raised the tips of the knights' spears high, like a sharp edge piercing the sky, like a forest of steel.

"That's right, the heroic spirits of the ancestors are fighting with us, and there is never the option of surrender in the blood of the Rhine! We will fight to the death with the undead, and victory will be in our hands! Charge, proud Rhine knights, you are the invincible legend of the entire Orrente world!"

Archon Ludwig drew his sword from its sheath and raised it high, and under his call and encouragement, all the Rhines were filled with the will to fight and had the greatest confidence in victory!

"The enemy is less than a day's journey away, after eating, packing our bags, we will fight to the death with the undead on the plains of Luhatt!"

The Luhart Plain is the endless Great Plain outside Berlin, the whole Great Plain is undefendable, the terrain is flat, and it can be said that it is the best place for the Rhine Knights to fight.

Ludwig's sword pointed straight to the north, and the darkness had extended beyond Berlin, and the Rhines had no way to retreat, otherwise the entire kingdom would be shrouded in darkness.

"Reinhardt, my son, I will hand over to you this long sword of my ancestors who fought in the north and south, and you will replace me as the vanguard of the army!"

Although Ludwig wanted to lead the army to charge at the front line, the Federation still needed him to sit on the table, and his old life could not withstand the high-intensity war consumption, so he handed over the ancient longsword inherited by his family to Reinhardt.

Reinhardt knelt down on one knee and respectfully took the sword, which, while it was an epic sword in terms of quality, was too important for its ancient heritage and political implications.

"Von Neumann, the First Knight of the Federation, I have entrusted you with the command of the Great Army, and I hope you can bring a brilliant victory!" Archon Ludwig handed over a large red banner to von Neumann, the head of the Rhine Knights, the first Knight of the Federation, and the strongest commander recognized by all the Rhinemen.

Von Neumann is a middle-aged man who is less than fifty years old, his whole person is as strong as steel, whether it is physical or mental, his life is self-disciplined to the extreme, although as the first knight of the Federation and the head of the Rhine Knights, he is almost the first person in the entire Rhine Federation since Ludwig's rule, but like an ascetic, he insists on practice, and his strength has already reached a pure extreme.

Von Neumann meticulously knelt on one knee and took the red battle flag, a glorious battle flag with traditional glory and a long history, which fluttered in almost every major war in the 800-year history of the entire Rhine Confederation.

"Lord Consul, I will do my best to win the final victory!" von Neumann stood up, from this moment on, he was the supreme commander of the most elite army of the Rhine Federation, which was at least a high-ranking knight, and would be responsible for the decisive battle with the army of the dead in the land of bones.

"Your Excellency the Will of the Deep, this army in front of you should be the most powerful knight order in the entire Orrente continent, right?I think they will succeed!" In the corner, the young magician of the Tower of a Thousand Laws, Jenna, the daughter of Duke Demor, was talking to Kersud in a whisper.

The representative of the Tower of a Thousand Laws, the "Will of the Deep Cold" Kersud has not left the Rhine Confederation during this time, he has conducted in-depth and detailed reconnaissance and research on the dark canopy from all angles, and serves as a bridge between the Tower of a Thousand Laws and the Rhine Confederation.

It's just that even on the day of the decisive battle, the Tower of a Thousand Laws still did not decide to participate in the war, let alone send the most elite mage group, which is not only very disappointed by Ludwig's administration, but even Kelsud himself has some regrets.

After all, the Tower of a Thousand Laws belongs to the inheritance of the great First Faturafat, although the immortal king Bardes was once the first magic master of mankind, but his achievement of the title legend is later than Tulafat, the elite mages of the Tower of a Thousand Laws face off on the battlefield and the necromancers from the land of bones, thinking about it makes people's blood boil.

"The Rhine Knights are not only the most elite army of the Rhines and the faith of the heart, even if you look at the entire Orrent continent, including the Holy Norman Empire, it is impossible for any country to gather an army composed of tens of thousands of high-ranking knights! This is already all the elites of the Knights' Country, and it is also the last hole card of Ludwig's administration!" Kersud shook his head slightly: "Who knows what kind of power Bardes has in his hands?" According to the highest level of intelligence, he is the initiator and convener of the entire Dark Council, and it can be said that he is the initiator of the war that will engulf the entire Orrent world in the future!"

Just a few hundred kilometers away at Fort New Wagget, where the dark canopy first rose, in the chaotic aura of death, a miserable white ghost portal burst open, and an endless army of the dead was passing through the portal and stepping into the world of Orent from the capital of the dead.

After the Remnant of the Aftermath, the cost of all necromantic spells on the continent of Orent was almost halved, and the power of each necromantic spell was greatly increased.

"Your Majesty, look, our army is boundless, and it will conquer this world!" said a necromancer shrouded in black robes beside Bardes.

"Hehe, these skeletons are completely vulnerable in front of the most powerful knights of Orrent!" Bardes's mouth grinned with a hint of mockery: "Do you know why I chose the first country to conquer was the Rhine Confederation?

The necromancer named Haman thought for a long time, and finally could only shake his head.

"The Rhine Knights are very disciplined, they are very powerful, and they are the most perfect soldiers!" the undead king Bardes waved his hand: "I have mastered the perfect means to transform these knights into death knights, they will all fall into my hands, join my command, and become the backbone of the undead scourge to conquer the world!"

"It's all in your plan, Your Majesty the Great Bardes!" Haman hurriedly complimented.

"Go, Haman, the army of the Rhines has gathered outside the Potsdam Palace, and is leading these skeletons into a battle against them, and giving them a glorious victory. Remember, be real, run away, my Harman, don't you not come back!"

Bardes sneered: "The Rhines are under a lot of pressure, they have to win, then I'll give them a win." The real test is yet to come, and I hope that my future Death Knights will be able to perform more excitingly and surprise me more. ”

"Yes, my majesty, I will give it my all and send them a victory!" Haman nodded hurriedly.

"Skeletons can die at will, flesh golems, death grinders, etc., but remember, I don't want necromancers to die too much, every mage is the most valuable resource. Bardes reminded.

"Yes, as you wish!" Haman instantly felt his mind connected to a vast spiritual hub, where the undead king Bardes had handed over control of a large portion of the undead army to him.

In the army of the undead, except for the necromancer and a very small number of high-level undead, most of the souls of the undead are controlled by the superiors, and their every move on the battlefield is autonomous, and they can only obey the orders of the ruler.

"Lord von Neumann, the enemy has appeared, and they are in the town of Nut in the north!" the scout brought back news from the enemy: "The endless sea of skeletons, the huge and terrifying flesh golems and meat grinders, this must be the main force of the enemy!"

"They're coming!" von Neumann pressed his sword in one hand, and in the tent sat the eighteen commanders of the Rhine, and Jenna was also present as a representative of Duke Kudel.

"The army of the dead has never appeared on the land of Orrente, we know very little about their strength, please be cautious in tomorrow's war, don't press with all your strength, take turns to attack the enemy's army, I want to observe and understand their true strength!" von Neumann's voice was not loud, but it was very calm, and everyone nodded cautiously, this is a battle that will decide the fate of the country, and no one will take it lightly.

Von Neumann placed the main force of the Rhine Knights on the outskirts of Berlin City, with the back of the fortified city, which could advance or retreat, and the initiative was completely in his own hands, so he was not worried about being ambushed and attacked by the other side.

In the dark night when the fingers were missing, the army of the dead did not attack, which made Von Neumann also breathe a sigh of relief, and the tense night passed.

The next day, at dawn, the knights of the Rhine Knights were having breakfast, and new information arrived: "The army of the undead is marching towards us, and it will arrive in about half a magic hour!"

So the horn in the barracks sounded, and in a tense and orderly atmosphere, the Rhine Knights gathered together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the burden of the Federation is on us, all the citizens of the Federation are waiting for our victory, the elderly, women and children, they have lost their homes, they are trembling under the dark sky, the Ludwig government has made a lot of efforts to rescue them, but if we fail, everything will be meaningless!" von Neumann summoned the generals: "Reinhardt, the consul has entrusted you with the task of vanguard, and you will be the first to charge later!"

Reinhardt, dressed as the "Radiant Messenger," stood up and gave a standard military salute: "Please rest assured, commander, this battle will be won!" (To be continued.) )
