Chapter 129: This undead force is that calamity~
Blood-red plains.
Outside Ironstone City.
Daenerys's wolf riders swept back and forth.
Arrows kept flying towards the city walls.
The orcs on the city wall looked out of the city with fear in their eyes.
The orc commander defending the city is quite capable, possessing the strength of a Silver-rank orc.
But it was immediately apparent that these wolf riders' soldiers far outnumbered his own legion.
"So strong."
"The arrows from these cavalrymen have such strong penetrating power."
"Furthermore, His Excellency Simon previously issued an order that we must not leave the city to fight, otherwise our legion will be immediately surrounded and annihilated."
But outside the city.
Daenerys, accompanied by her Wind Wolf Riders, looked disdainfully at the city walls.
His eyes were full of regret.
They had set traps several times in preparation to lure the other party out.
But the other side was cautious and did not come out of the city.
Soon, the lord's order arrived.
They were instructed to bypass Ironstone City as soon as possible, join forces with Antonia's cavalry, and launch an attack on the Orcs' rear.
To intimidate the orcs inside the city walls.
Daenerys unleashed her army to demonstrate its power.
The effect was indeed good; the orcs inside the city walls dared not leave the city.
"Walk!"
A whooshing sound came.
He ordered his cavalry to begin their retreat.
The defense here was entrusted to Little White Dragon and William's cavalry.
With a gold-tier leader and some purple-tier cavalry, guarding and intercepting would be no problem at all.
And this time, it was a surprise attack.
Lin Chuan deployed three Gold Saints: Sylvie, Antonia, and Daenerys.
The main force consists of Gryphon Riders and Gale Wolf Riders.
As for the paladins personally trained by Antonia, their number was not large, less than a hundred.
These numbers can be used to weaken the orcs through guerrilla warfare.
However, defeating the orc army was completely impossible.
But with the help of the undead on Lin Chuan's side, the situation is completely different.
......
Just as the raiding cavalry advanced towards the rear of the orc army.
At this moment, among the undead army.
The Death Cloud spell was gradually suppressed, and its area became smaller and smaller.
The exposed undead were quickly wiped out by the orcs' focused fire.
If this continues, it's only a matter of time before the undead are gradually wiped out.
At this moment, the leader of this group of undead was pondering how to break the deadlock.
His two golden undead subordinates are a death knight and a death lich.
"Try fighting back against the orcs?"
"Let the Undead Knights charge in."
"The Death Lich asked."
"no."
"There aren't enough Death Knights, and the Orc cavalry are just watching."
"The moment we move, we'll be hit by a barrage of elven arrows, followed by orc cavalry."
"They have more gold than we do."
"If we push through, we'll lose at least half of our resources."
The Death Knight paused.
"The lich used the Death Cloud Cannon to bombard."
"Blow up the enemy archers?"
The Death Lich shook his head.
"There are many orc shamans."
"Without the cover of the Death Cloud spell."
"The lightning bolt will fall immediately."
"Lightning is effective against us, and against other undead as well."
"There are so many orc shamans that if a single Chain Lightning strikes, we'll lose two-thirds of our men."
Neither plan seems to be working.
The Death Knight suddenly spoke.
"Perhaps we should... retreat."
"We can get the artifact fragments later; the orcs are too strong."
The leader, the Death Lich, also had this plan, but was still somewhat hesitant.
"Wait for Lulin to come back."
In other words, the Black Knights Legion; if they succeed, they can retreat in time.
It's just a matter of losing a little more.
"Yes."
And at that very moment.
The sound of the Black Knight's footsteps approached.
"Your Mightiness."
"I'm back."
The leader of the Death Lich King's greyish-white eyes rolled.
"Your aura has changed."
"We have the approval of the undead lord."
"You have found the undead lord here."
His voice was filled with astonishment.
Clearly, something is wrong.
"Um."
Black Knight Lulin spoke calmly, then recounted how he met Lin Chuan.
The other undead golden race listened quietly.
They quickly settled into a state of calm.
The bizarre nature of this event far exceeded their expectations.
Who would have thought that a necromantic lord would be born in this extremely barren place?
After a brief silence.
The Lich Lord slowly opened his mouth and asked.
What do you think of Lulin's proposal?
Pledge allegiance to an undead lord of a different race who is not in the Undead Empire.
This has never happened before.
All alien races who aspire to become undead lords must travel to the territory of the undead empire.
"Perhaps...this is God's will."
"The Death Knight spoke."
"Before God fell, it was prophesied that he would be born of blood and fire, spirit and flesh, iron and stone."
There are many different schools of thought among the dead regarding the interpretation of this prophecy.
Their school of thought's antidote comes from beyond the realm of death.
That's why he's so persistent in searching for fragments of divinity in various places.
I never expected to find something new here.
The man destined to fulfill the prophecy has appeared.
The other undead lich nodded slightly.
"Perhaps Lulin is right."
The final undead leader turned to Lulin.
"Do you believe he is the chosen one by the gods?"
Lulin shook her head.
"I don't know, I'm not sure."
"But we've been wandering for too long."
"Millions of undead left the Undead Empire and followed the King."
"There are hundreds of types of gold."
"But now, Your Majesty."
"Your people have died in various places."
"The loyal members of the Golden Clan have fallen one after another in battle, leaving only us."
"We used to be so fearful that even the gods had to show some respect to us."
"But now, here it is."
"A barren northern wilderness."
"A lowly orcish tribe can suppress us, or even annihilate us completely."
"king."
"We can't even go back to the Undead Empire now."
"If we continue down this path, we'll only be wiped out."
The words of the Black Knight Lulin made the Lich King fall into deep thought.
He was once more than just a golden man.
He was a demigod when he left the Undead Empire!
In order to follow the will of God, he left the Undead Empire and searched for fragments of fallen gods throughout the continent.
At that time, he commanded tens of millions of undead, and even when he passed through the core temple of the gods, no divine messenger blocked his way.
He even participated in several divine wars and killed several gods.
But after such a long period of time, he was also wounded, and his millions of undead subjects died one after another in battle.
Even his most beloved princess, the one who had followed him since birth, perished in a divine war.
So much time had passed that he had even forgotten where he buried the other person.
So much time has passed that he has forgotten he was once one of the most powerful kings of the Undead Empire.
So much time has passed that his memory of his subjects has become hazy.
At this moment, Lulin spoke, and the king of the dead finally remembered that he... he... had indeed been wandering for too long.
After a brief silence.
He slowly raised his head.
"Lulin, you're right."
"So what are their requirements?"
Lulin shook her head.
"He will send troops to help us attack the orcs without any demands."
"The premise is that we must push our legions forward and launch an attack on the orcs."
"After the war, we can join his ranks."
The lich leader nodded slowly.
"When will it start?"
"The sooner the better, the lord's army is already here."
The lich leader stood up.
He gripped the staff in his hand.
This was originally a semi-divine artifact, inlaid with the skull of a god.
But with countless battles...
The equipment has been downgraded to the gold tier.
Even so, its power is still considerable.
"Let's begin then."
"Forbidden Necromancer Technique".
"The dead rise!"
The necromancer raised his staff, and instantly a beam of black light shot into the sky.
next moment.
Around this camp, all the undead and orcs who had died in battle rose up again at this moment.
"knight!"
"exist."
"attack!"
The undead knight mounted his skeletal warhorse.
He gripped his warhorse, with countless undead knights burning with cold flames behind him.
"Da da da~"
The skeletal warhorse trampled the earth and reached the edge of the Death Cloud spell.
"attack!"
In the silence, the undead knight raised his spear.
They broke through the Death Cloud spell and charged towards the orcs' great formation.
......
Among the orc army.
Simon stood on the command platform.
The moment the Death Knight appeared.
A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I finally couldn't hold back anymore."
"But it's just suicide."
"Send the order: The final battle begins."
"Counterattack!"
The centaurs, acting as messengers for the orcs, charged to the front lines.
"Lord Simon's decree."
"Counterattack!"
"Archer"
"shoot!"
A deluge of arrows rained down into the sky.
next second.
The undead knight fell like wheat stalks blown by the wind.
But at this moment, streams of black mist surged out from within the Death Cloud Technique.
The Death Knight, who had just been killed, stood up again.
This is the power of forbidden techniques.
As long as they have the energy, they can keep reviving.
The moment the undead knight charged again.
Simon's expression changed drastically.
"The dead rise from the dead."
"This undead force... is that Scourge!!!"
