Just when everyone was scolding angrily, the old mage still kept a clear head, he knew that this had happened, and scolding would not help, so he interrupted everyone's words and asked instead: "Your Majesty, who is leading the team on the other side?"

"Sorrow, Lich King!" said the Emperor with a frown, "a most annoying opponent!"

"Ahh Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, it is no wonder that they are so afraid, it is really the name of the Lich King's sorrow is too loud, and the people who have defected to the enemy in the past generations belong to his most brilliant achievements, he actually killed the Pope and stole an artifact. So when it comes to him, everyone knows about it, and even the old evil has heard of it. Although his strength is only a few of the Seven Monarchs of the Undead, this guy's intelligence and viciousness are the best among all. Under normal circumstances, the undead monarchs prefer to study their various magical knowledge, and only when they lack special materials, they will participate in the undead scourge in order to obtain what they need on the mainland. But this Lich King was the only one who was sad, he participated in almost every undead scourge, even if there was no one else to help him, he would start it once when he was fine. It's like swearing to be against humans!

Legend has it that this guy was originally also the light priest of the Bright Empire, and he was also the kind of nobleman who had family affairs, and he was also a genius himself, and he may have inherited some of the elven magic talents with some elven blood, so that he entered the realm very quickly when cultivating light spells, and became a high-level priest at a young age, in terms of talent alone, he was slightly worse than Catherine, and much stronger than the three princes.

It's a pity that this guy was stimulated when he was young, and a little noble lady he fell in love with was secretly persecuted to death by his division commander. You must know that the people who can be aristocratic genius teachers are naturally the high-level of the Bright Empire, and the sad teacher is a cardinal. Although this guy's strength is good, it's a pity that his heart is too dirty, and he always likes to spoil the nun, and the ravaged person can only endure it silently because he can't afford to provoke him.

After Sorrow knew it, he was naturally extremely angry, and it could even be said that he was grief-stricken, but unfortunately he knew that he had no ability to do anything to his teacher, so he made up his mind to turn back. While pretending that there was no such thing, he worked hard to refine his spells.

Decades later, his teacher became the Pope, and the Lich King Sorrow became a cardinal, believing that it was the relationship between his disciples that became the Pope's confidant.

However, when an undead scourge occurred, Sorrow resolutely surrendered to the enemy during the decisive battle, not only taking away the original Pope's Crown of the artifact, but also uniting with the Lich King on the opposite side to kill the Pope alive.

You must know that before the Sorrowful Rebellion, the Empire of Light had two artifacts in hand, and it was not difficult to repel the undead natural disaster. The super artifact "Apocalypse" can easily beat the legendary master in the hands of the Pope, but the original Pope's Crown can provide a large amount of light magic, so that the Pope can easily carry out the blessing of light spells for tens of thousands of troops, and the power of this blessing released with the assistance of the artifact is very terrifying, not only can it directly increase the combat effectiveness of half of the warriors, but also double the combat power of the undead, and because the original Pope Crown still has the pure breath of God, even if the blessed person dies, he will not be turned into an undead.

In this case, the Empire of Light was able to easily repel the army of the undead in a decisive battle almost every time, and not many people died at all. There is little need for help from other countries.

But since that sad rebellion, the first papal crown brought to the undead, the name of the Empire of Light has begun to become difficult, and that time alone, it has caused the death of more than 10 million people, accounting for one-fifth of the population of the Empire of Light, hence the name of the undead natural disaster.

Later, the idiots of the Empire of Light simply lost the Book of Revelation, and as a result, it was even more difficult to resist the attack of the undead natural disaster, and almost every time it lost millions of people. In desperation, they had no choice but to build three defense lines, the first coastal defense line, stationed more than 200,000 people, and six Sacred Domain masters sat in the town all year round. In the event of a war of the undead natural disaster, they will do their best to block it and buy time for the people behind to retreat.

The distance between the second line and the first line of defense, which numbered several million people, was mostly engaged in farming and manufacturing fortification equipment in order to support the army of the first line of defense as much as possible.

The first line of defense is generally held for about a month, during which the people can withdraw to the second line of defense, and then these 200,000 people will also withdraw, and the tens of thousands of people on the second line of defense can resist for a while. Generally speaking, when the undead scourge hits the second line of defense, reinforcements from the two countries that are relatively close to the Empire of Light will also arrive.

In most cases, the final decisive battle will be fought in the second line of defense, as long as with the assistance of the armies of the griffin kingdom and the elven kingdom, everyone can defend until the armies of the orcs and dwarves of the other two countries also arrive here, then they can directly counterattack. That's how most of the undead scourge gets back.

Of course, if the situation is not good and you really can't resist it, you need to retreat to the third line of defense, but in this way, the Empire of Light will have to work and lose money, and there are tens of millions of people between the second and third lines of defense. If you move completely, it will be time-consuming, laborious and cost-effective, and it is really not cost-effective. And the most important thing is that every time a pass is breached, the undead can use all kinds of corpses to quickly create a large army, so the further back the enemy, the stronger the enemy's strength, the greater the casualties of each country, therefore, generally speaking, no one wants the undead to break through the second line of defense.

Judging from the current situation, the second line of defense of the Bright Empire cannot be held no matter what. Because normally, the first line of defense has the most fighters, more than 200,000, and the second line of defense is only tens of thousands. Once the first line of defense is not held, those large armies can also withdraw to the second line of defense to hold on. As long as the commander's ability is not very bad, the losses will not be large, and most of the dead people have been cast special light spells to ensure that they are not created into troops by the undead.

But this time, because of the large-scale annihilation and careful surrender to the enemy, not only did the defenders of the first line of defense suffer more than half of the casualties, but also the dead people did not have time to deal with them, which is equivalent to sending 100,000 troops to the other side at once. Coupled with the more than one million civilians who did not evacuate, the number of undead troops suddenly reached a terrifying million. And there are only about 100,000 soldiers in the second line of defense, how can this be stopped?

You must know that although the Bright Empire can temporarily recruit a large number of peasants to participate in the war, adding up to hundreds of thousands, the combat effectiveness of the peasants is completely different from that of long-trained warriors. And the most important thing is that it is most taboo to send cannon fodder to fight with the undead, if there are too many peasants, and there are not enough light mages to bless them, they will only become skeleton soldiers of the other party. Therefore, at this time, elite soldiers are the most important combat effectiveness, and the garbage troops not only cannot be sent, but must also be sent far away from the battlefield, so as not to drag everyone down.

Everyone present now knows the inside story, so they can all guess how bad the situation is. Almost everyone could guess that the second path of the Empire of Light was about to fail. And once the second line of defense is lost in a short period of time, there will be tens of millions of ordinary people behind them, if they all become skeleton soldiers or zombie warriors, then this battle will be too difficult to fight, even if it is fought back, it will definitely be a crushing victory in the end. At that time, it was not surprising that the troops sent by the Griffin Empire had killed hundreds of thousands of people. With such a large casualty, it must have been a great loss of vitality for the Griffon Empire. You know, the total number of regular troops in the entire Griffin Empire is only 500,000!

But now, the emperor can't help but feel distressed. Because he knew that no matter how great the losses were, he would have to send troops, and it would be absolutely impossible to stay out of the situation. If the Empire of Light were defeated by the undead, and the army of the undead would kill tens of millions of people in the Empire of Light, their strength would swell to a point where the entire continent would be terrified. When the time comes, the undead will definitely attack, and the Griffin Empire will definitely have to follow suit. The so-called cold lips and teeth are like this.

Therefore, on a certain level, the cardinal's defection to the enemy this time not only harmed the Empire of Light, but also harmed the Griffin Empire. In the past, the Griffin Empire lost a maximum of 100,000 people, but now it is good, two hundred thousand people may not be able to stop, and it is no wonder that the emperor, who has always paid great attention to his appearance, can't help but scold foul language.

"Alas!" the Emperor then let out a long sigh, and then commanded helplessly: "Wind Sword Saint Kaz, you should immediately set off with the second army on the border! This trip can be described as a hundred thousand urgent, you must do everything to help them defend the second line of defense, otherwise, we will lose a lot!"

"Yes!" Knowing that the matter was urgent, Kaz did not dare to slack off, and immediately turned around and left.
