Chapter 180: The Warrior's Elegy

At this time, the Kregang Frontier Fortress, the main battalion of the frontier vanguard of the Western Front, had just experienced a clash attack by a large army of the undead.

General Ike Lehrer was standing on the high walls of the fortress with a group of commanders, looking at the battlefield where a large-scale battle had just taken place in the distance.

Despite this battle, the human side won the victory thanks to the bravery of the soldiers and a variety of powerful new magic weapons.

However, there were a total of thousands of cavalry and infantry casualties, which made Ike and other generals frown tightly.

After the Frontier Vanguard of the Western Front temporarily incorporated the Church Coalition Army, the Human Coalition has had a total of more than a dozen clashes with the undead and the Western tribal forces, but none of them have been as fierce as this one.

And this time it was also the heaviest casualties of the coalition forces.

You must know that in order to defend the entire Western Front battlefield, the Western Front Frontier Vanguard needs to divide its troops into many important fortresses, so the current Kregang Frontier Fortress has a total strength of less than 4,000 people, which is still counting the hundreds of elite mercenaries hired in the mercenary fortress.

And the cavalry and infantry that can charge into battle are only two battalions of troops when they are integrated.

Fortunately, the walls of the Kregan fortress are tall and the terrain is steep, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, the biggest headache for Ike and other generals was not the attack of the undead, but the spies of the Western tribal forces that infiltrated from time to time, and they were the biggest threat to the fortress of Cregan.

Originally, today it was the vanguard of the Western Front border guards, preparing to gather troops and go to the elves and dwarves to defend the Kavanaugh border fortress and sneak attack the undead troops gathered there.

But I don't know when, the news leaked.

Shortly after the raiding force set out, it was attacked by a large army of undead and suffered heavy casualties.

Although they eventually retreated to the defensive range of the fortress of Cregon, they were not spared the fate of total annihilation.

Despite this, this cavalry relied on its bravery and the help of long-range firepower in the fortress to destroy thousands of undead troops.

At this time, the eyes of more than a dozen senior generals were about to erupt into flames, but what could this be?

With a gloomy face on the light of the fire on the battlefield that had not yet been extinguished, Ike looked at the soldiers who had been dead for a long time, but dragged their broken bodies to their feet.

These soldiers, who had been Ike's comrades a few hours ago, were now glazed over, slow-moving, and still roaring like beasts, and they had apparently become the lowest cannon fodder of the undead - zombies.

Since there are no high-level undead here, these zombie soldiers just move slowly and mechanically, like a group of revenants, not knowing where to go.

"General, give the order for the Vulcan Artillery Legion to fire, our warriors are brave and fearless, they fight to the death against the undead before they die...... I...... I don't want to see them die......"

It was Cardwell, who had been fighting alongside Ike.

He looked at the thousands of soldiers on the battlefield who stood up again.

Cardwell was originally a cavalryman, but in the past two years, he has fought side by side with Ike, and has been promoted to the senior general of the Western Front Frontier Vanguard Force, so he is extremely heartbroken when he sees this, and the cavalrymen who used to get along with him day and night have become like this.

Ike didn't speak, still looking at the zombies who were about to stand up completely with a grim face.

The atmosphere suddenly became very dull, and just as Cardwell was about to continue to say something, a white-clothed and white-haired magician standing behind Ike, looking at the direction of the battlefield, sighed and said to Cardwell: "Now that the Fortress of Crégan is short of troops, and the losses are so heavy today, I am afraid that before the support of General Patton arrives, we will have to rely on these powerful magic weapons to deal with the undead." ”

It was the magician Jon Victor who spoke, and his words echoed Ike's concerns.

It has been about ten days since Jon Victor arrived at Fortress Craigane, and during this time, he has won the approval of most generals and soldiers with his outstanding performance, strong ice magic, and humble and polite style.

Jon's tone paused before continuing: "Let me come, with the power of ice, let the ashes of our brave and fearless warriors be sprinkled forever on this battlefield that they have guarded with their lives, I think this is their final destination." ”

Listening to Jon's words, Ike nodded heavily, and with a gloomy face, he walked down the wall alone.

After Ike left, the generals gave Jon enough space for him to cast spells.

"Ice elemental in space, please gather your power into my hands, let the earth freeze, let the mountains and rivers turn into ice, freeze everything, and let everything in the world be shrouded in white—Ice and Snow Freezing Technique. ”

With Jon Victor's loud chant, the temperature of the entire Kregang Frontier Fortress plummeted, even though it was still a scorching hot July, which made everyone in the fortress tremble.

This kind of powerful power against nature, I'm afraid that only this kind of magical perversion can be unleashed.

In the night sky of July, as the temperature plummeted, heavy snow began to fall on the battlefield.

Moments later, the flames of battle were extinguished, and the battlefield was covered in snow.

But these falling goose feathers and heavy snow, as if they have spirituality, after falling, they have attached themselves to those confused "warriors".

As the snowflakes grew, the bodies of these "warriors" began to condense into dazzling blue ice cubes at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they were in a coffin made of ice crystals.

After more than ten minutes, all the fighters had been frozen into such ice cubes.

Suddenly, Jon Victor held the white jade staff high in his right hand, quickly recited several obscure incantations in his mouth, and his left hand quickly sealed, and a bone-chilling light blue magical energy ball appeared on the white jade staff in his right hand.

I saw Jon Victor swing forward violently, and the ball of magical energy immediately turned into a wide range of magical energy, instantly shooting towards the "soldiers" who were frozen into ice.

"Bang...... Bang bang bang ......"

A ...... Two ...... Three ......

Countless sounds of ice shattering sounded on the battlefield, as if singing the last elegy for these brave and fearless soldiers.

Looking at the corpses of all the soldiers, they exploded, turned into powder, and disappeared on the battlefield, and the generals on the city wall were also sad and faintly filled with tears.

Since the beginning of the war, the frontier vanguard units of the Western Front have never suffered such serious casualties.

The cavalry that died in the charge completely disappeared from the battlefield in this way, which also made several generals unbearable.

When the sound of shattering ends, the mission of these "warriors" will be completely over.

Dust to dust, dust to dust, and they can rest here in peace.

Jon Victor, who had done all this, had a pale face, a shaky body, and an extremely serious mental overdraft.

While the generals on the walls were still immersed in grief, Jon Victor stumbled on his feet, but Cadwell, who was closest to him, was quick to hold him up.

"Jon, are you alright?"

Cardwell asked with some concern as he looked at Jon Victor, who was pale and breathing disorderly.

Jon Victor slowed down and said in a weak voice: "The sequelae of overstepping the use of magic skills, rest for a while and be fine." ”

"Jon, thank you!"

Cardwell said earnestly, holding Jon.

"This is the last thing I can do for these brave warriors, the glory of the twilight god will always shine on them, and they can return to the arms of the twilight god and rest in eternal peace. ”

Jon struggled to put a hand on his chest and prayed weakly and reverently.

Commander Tours, who was on the side, was also moved when he saw this scene.

Captain Tours didn't expect that such a believer in the god of twilight, who was not a member of the church, would be so devout to the god of twilight, and he couldn't help but admire this white-clothed and white-haired magician even more in his heart.

He walked up to Jon Victor, humbly performed a church ceremony, and said, "God Twilight is always with us. ”

"The god of twilight is with us, and as long as we have strong faith, the god of twilight will always watch over his people. ”

Jon returned the salute and stopped talking.

After a short rest and some relaxation, he continued: "During this time, the attacks of the undead have become more and more fierce, I think it is the test of the Twilight God for us, we must hold on until the reinforcements arrive, I think it will not be long before General Patton's support will come, and at that time, we can launch a counterattack against the large army of the undead until they are wiped out." ”

Jon's words were said with a little excitement, so that some of the spirits he had just recovered were exhausted again.

He gasped for air, but thanks to Cardwell's support the whole time, he was able to barely stand on his feet.

Listening to Jon's words, the head of Tours also said with a reverent face: "Yes, I will also ask the church for assistance again, as long as they can send the Holy Heavy Knights ......"

Before Captain Tours could finish speaking, Jon waved his hand at him and interrupted: "Everything is the will of the Dusk God, and the Dusk God's decision must have his reasons, this is a test for us, I think the Dusk God will definitely see it." ”

While everyone was talking, Ike, who had walked down the wall alone, returned to the wall again.

Beside Ike was a short, sturdy dwarf with dark skin and red eyes.

Looking at the two walking side by side, it must be that this dwarf has a lot to do with Ike.
