Even though the Undead Army had retreated, Rhode didn’t let loose He siet prepared for the upco, the soldiers were still too inexperienced Just a few days ago, less than one-tenth of the 3,000 soldiers were his original troops as he didn’t find suitable candidates It was only until Orchid Heart was summoned that he slowly built on his army He was always a cautious person, especially after he had ers of blind expansion Even though it wouldn’t be a problem for him to form a 10,000 troops are problem for him without sufficient team leaders, commanders, equipment, and foodstuff Besides, they wouldn’t have ca and cooperation, so as the point in having such a huge army since they would scramble to a pile of loose sand in war? Rhode had no intentions of leaving the Fortress, so he put hi the city walls It was due to this that even with the threat of the Undead Army, he only recruited 3,000 soldiers ere most fitted and that was sufficient

But this was just the beginning

It had been a long tiht Mainland and Darkness Mainland broke out into a war Currently, only the Eastern Plains, Battle Angel Arhts from the Church would occasionally eliminate Undead Creatures, Demons, Cultist, and others As for ordinary Huainst Undead Creatures at all It was still the same even for Rhode who had several experienced, senior soldiers who had left the military They were basically the same as the newly joined soldiers in the face of the Undead Ar these soldiers the ainst the Undead Ared into a sea of flames without Gillian and Marlene around

And now, it seemed like they were effective The Undead Army had retreated temporarily while the soldiers found their confidence But Rhode knew that he had wasted a lot of resources—Gillian’s ‘Seven hells’ would require a day of cool down so she could only use ‘Sulfur River’ and earth-shattering fireballs But without the enhancee of the fireballs would be decreased significantly Rhode had also activated the alchemy statues in order to resist the Bone Griffins The Soul Cores in the alchemy statues were the Human Soul Cores he had collected in the Southern battle, so they were basically defective products that would last up to five hours Besides, Rhode was sure that the enemies wouldn’t send out Bone Griffins the next time since they were aware of his alcheion in the upco the alche from the capabilities of his soldiers, perhaps they would collapse in fear as soon as the Bone Griffins dove toward him, so he had no choice but to call upon the alchemy statues for support

On the other hand, even though Marlene was a Mage in the Middle Circle, she didn’t have it easy against the Necro the Necromancers’ spells, perhaps Marlene would have beco harm to the Undead Army with the spells that she had mastered Moreover, Marlene wasn’t a perpetual y would also deplete On the other hand, the strength of Sol’s group was too lie voluroup the duty of sweeping the Undead Creatures who had arrived at the city walls through bombardments and they performed well

As for Canary and Mini Bubble Gum, Rhode decided not to send the the main direction of Balende’s attack in order to prevent any accidents This was also why the effectiveness of their presences were also limited

The only fortunate aspect was the Holy Maiden Statue As a legendary artifact, it could maintain itself after it was activated until Rhode shut it down It was generally stronger than endary artifact would be of no purpose

Rhode shook his head and sighed In the game, he didn’t need to consider morale at all If his soldiers were players, they would have juht of Undead Creatures because it would bring them a whole chunk of EXP and he didn’t need to e them at all Back then, Rhode’s only concern was to constrain his subordinates fro overly excited In here, not only did he need to ensure his subordinates wouldn’t flee from their positions, but he also needed to think of a way to boost their nite their beliefs in victories Rhode felt that this was a tragedy…

But this was still fine too After putting in some effort, the soldiers’ es in theh their ile, he knew that the victories frothen their confidence This was only the start

But Rhode still wasn’t aware of the changes that the eneazed into the distance

Bam!

A shriveled palm smashed on the solid rock table In an instant, ice-cold spiritual flaht dust, and disappeared

Vidal glared at the battle ritted teeth The spacious coht wind blowing through the tent entrance The fluttering of flags could be heard indistinctly It should have been the ense for him instead

As the Country of Darkness’s chief commander of the 3rd Northern War Zone, Vidal was confident in securing the victory in this battle He kne that the idodoraphical location had predeter into battle, General Balende Nefarian had handed everything to his care and at that moment, Vidal was full of confidence He had even promised General Balende that he would need three days maximum before they could encircle the entire Golden City!

But now, reality had given hirowled in his throat deeply Before they headed into the Munn Kingdo resistance In fact, he had never respected the group of idiots in the Country of Light Even though they were under the Light Dragon Soul’s protection, he was sure that those idiots were non threatening presences and were only great with their dodoht who expressed hostility to the Country of Darkness, and was considered more of a dominion from the Country of Darkness’ perspective, no one in the Country of Darkness dared to belittle their strength Even the four legendary generals would express some envy and admiration whenever Lydia was dom would be hard to deal with, but he still accepted this mission He was clear that the harder the mission, the more precious his victory would be It would be an entirely different concept from when he led the Undead Ardo down ht’s territories, even though the Country of Light was dom in terms of territory

But the extent of difficulties in attacking the Munn Kingdom was far harder than he had expected

As Balende was a well-respected coiven plenty of considerations for this adom was formidable, they definitely wouldn’t set up defenses in the very first th, they could respond quickly as soon as they detected the attack and this would require Vidal’s arh in order to secure the victory This way, even if they paid a return visit, he would have enough space to deal with thee flat bread, Vidal’s e bite no matter if he could s it or not At least that part of the bread was in his h

But he quickly realized that things were amiss Almost every battle lines that he was responsible for had shown problems

The first news he received was fro to the report, the Undead Arh retaliation and the Undead Creatures had even faced arave losses At thisfor reinforcements

This was still within Vidal’s expectations If the Munn Kingdoh nut to crack, the Eastern Plains would be the hardest one of all Unlike the other territories, there were innumerable conflicts between the Eastern Plains and the Country of Darkness, where they would take place almost everyday Both sides knew each others’ roots, which hy it wasn’t an uncommon occurrence for them to face retaliations Vidal had even prepared to not take down the Eastern Plains because it would take a long ti as he could restrict the Eastern Plains’s h

But the next news came like a bolt from the blue
