Cullen felt like his army’s assault was rather coressively, but retreated with their heads held low He expected a strong start, but not a weak finish If he was leading a human army, perhaps their morale would have fallen to rock bottom by noever, just as Rhode expected, the Undead Arative e—because they were the personification of despair
Even though Cullen had a hard tih in his face The ee was totally unexpected and not even ten Cullens could resist the strength that cain It was especially so when they looked up at the golden radiance enveloping the entire sky No ardless of positions
But respect wasn’t an excuse for failure
Cullen sat before his desk and stared at the military sand table in silence The pitch-black chess pieces had retreated and were positioned far away froht hand which held the Undead Ar But he didn’t stop He continued to push and repeat this motion Every time he repeated the hter In the end, he revealed a sinister s human indeed was capable to not activate the holy spears from the start Instead, he lured them in and only activated them after they arrived at the foot of his fortress Besides, he also understood the weakness of the holy spears—the tie up, which hy launched them in intervals However, the weaknesses were concealed in the advantages On the surface, the ancient heritage was threatening But there was also a problee at that moment?
“Why did I activate the holy spears at that ht of stairs in the dark underground tunnel The fla on the torches cast distorted shadow behind hi back
“Yes, Mr Rhode The holy spears are our strongest trump cards The Undead Creatures , we didn’t deal too h estimation and found out that only about ten thousand of them are eliminated If it is as what you’ve mentioned, there are many more enemies than this Isn’t it a little too… reckless?”
“You’re right about that But we have no other choice”
Rhode shrugged
“We don’t have enough Clerics to handle their attacks and currently, only Marlene and Serena are formidable spell casters apart from Bubble and Canary But what can they do? There is easily a whole bunch of them in the Undead Army with similar standard At this point, Marlene and Serena are unable to deal e to the enemies”
“Not only that, but Bubble and I also have to prepare ourselves in dealing with the Night Wyvern’s attack We have to conserve our strength before that”
Canary approached the the fortress is an uninteresting matter It is especially so in this situation We can’t coies like the battles between two armies The ene as steel Ordinary strategies won’t work on them Since that’s the case, we can only , we uess you’re aware that if Bubble and I don’t show up and if Rhode didn’t activate the holy spears, your Clerics would have a hard ti with the enemies”
“…”
Lize and Marlene fell into silence In fact, that was the truth They lacked too much manpower In the two battles, most of the soldiers didn’t contribute much and mostly relied on Rhode and his powerful trump cards The first clash ended with Orchid Heart, Canary, and Mini Bubble Gu forces This time, they relied on the Holy Maiden Statues to strike off the Undead Army while the others above the city walls wereUndead Creatures
“What other choices do we have? The soldiers are too weak”
Mini Bubble Gum shot her mouth off
“If this were in the past… No matter how hter them all But, there are really too few soldiers here If the enemies were to climb up and overwhelmed the soldiers, this fortress would have become theirs This is why Leader beat his brains out to keep the battle outside the fortress You people should be glad that you’re not theforce If you are, that means that Leader’s fortress will be doomed entirely How can you take on that many enemies? We would have been buried to death by them”
“…”
Marlene knitted her brows, but she wasn’t offended by Mini Bubble Gum The truth was that they lacked too ic Fleet as backing, but Rhode had told them that trump cards must be revealed one by one They wouldn’t scare the enemies away if he revealed them simultaneously But…
“But if that’s the case, our weaknesses were exposed to the ene such battles But, we didn’t do so and activated the holy spears instead This equals to telling the enemies that we have a lack of spell casters…”
Marlene clenched her fists and felt cold sweat in her palated beforehand and if they have records of our previous battle, they should be aware that there are two legendary spell casters in the fortress”
“Yes, but Bubble and I didn’t attack”
