Dazzling radiance flashed Erin raised her long neck and scanned the area ahead Shortly after, two dazzling light beams descended from above and struck the pitch-black land heavily Then, the darkness that enveloped the sky and land dispersed and dazzling light filled up the gaps Shortly after, a string of flares and explosions erupted on the city walls Erin narrowed her eyes because she are that she would be witnessing an incredibly beautiful view soon
As expected, after a series of explosions, the fortress in the distance had as though been subed in darkness and death But, in the blink of an eye, dense flares e rain, where the land lit up in flaain as chilly blue spiritual flahtly before shi+fting her attention away because she didn’t need to watch this battle anyed on the other side of the horizon Soon, the sun would rise and the Undead Ar in no tiain, they would continue their attack in the darkness Such a similar scenario had repeated over a span of 10 days As soon as darkness fell, Cullen’s Undead Arainst them
Indeed, in less than half an hour, the Undead Arround, the Undead Aron Soul and returned into their eternal darkness
“damn it…”
Rhode stared at the battlefield from above the city wall—blood, corpses, and putrid stench polluted the land and air Not only that, but black, filthy blood belonging to the Undead Creatures and humans also stained the city walls
It had been over 10 days since Cullen launched his attack with the Undead Arht with theth because the latter occasionally changed his tactics with different troops as though to catch the foruard However, Rhode knew that Cullen did that to see if he had other trump cards up his sleeves Rhode admitted that Cullen was rather sence with his scouts earlier on, he was better off forcing the former to reveal all his trump cards
Therefore, within the 10 days, Rhode faced all kinds of attacks from the Undead Army The Skeletal Trolls and Ghouls launched frontal attacks, Gargoyles, Bone Griffins, and Vathened the Undead Army’s attack and speed with their spells However, no matter which tactics Cullen deployed, Rhode only retaliated with the holy spears before coordinating with Gillian’s fire elemental spells to bombard the enemies Meanwhile, the soldiers defended the city walls and sometimes Mini Bubble Gum would counteract the Necroic Fleet, Rhode continued to keep theh Leader Beni and the coic Fleet requested to join the battle, Rhode stood firm on his decision that they were the final trump cards for the victory and requested for the, Rhode’s side was capable enough to withstand the attack without sending out the Battle Angels, Magic Fleet, or blasting off his newly-built ic cannons At most, he would need Gillian to cast her ‘Seven hells’ and ‘Sulfur River’ to defend against the Undead Creatures
Rhode are that both sides were co on patience and the side that lost its patience first would lose Cullen was alsoin the last 10 days, lost nearly 30,000 troops, and wasn’t able to find anything new in Rhode’s caht to also say that Rhode didn’t suffer any losses
Although Rhode used the holy spears as the ned Gillian and Mini Bubble Gum in alternate offense and defense, and placed Marlene and the others to guard the city walls, their losses increased day by day Up until this moment, almost a thousand soldiers had died Rhode was sure that he would need to recruit more of them after this battle ended
But this wasn’t the main problem What was most important was that… they were exhausted froest headache for Rhode The Undead Army didn’t require morale support and could strike continuously even if they failed But, humans were different The Undead Army always attacked at unearthly hours which turned his soldiers into night owls It was iinable how ical clocks and si supporting thee Rhode was glad that even though hierarchy was strict in this world, there were also benefits, such as his subordinates respecting hi If not, he couldn’t guarantee how the situation would develop
All he could do noas to appoint the Clerics and Battle Angels to cure the injured soldiers with their healing spells and also treat the soldiers to delicious feasts in order to boost their morale However, he knew that the effects were liht—this rising star froer looked as clean as before Her long, silky hair had wrinkled Her fair, dewy face was full of dirt and blood stains Not only that, but the filth on her expensive ar She looked forith her eyes half-shut while yawning non-stop Thelady in her was nowhere to be seen
War—nothing could spur on growth in huh the Undead Arained a vast range of knowledge about the Undead Arreat asset to the Munn Kingdom After all, almost no one had experienced battles with the Undead Army in the past, not to mention understood their tactics Never would Cullen expect to be used by Rhode in this aspect The various tactics which he deliberately thought of became the best source of information for Rhode to teach and demonstrate the characteristics and tactical skills of the Country of Darkness Under Cullen ‘selfless’ dedication and Rhode’s theories, almost all the soldiers who participated in the battle understood everything about the enemies
“Miss Serena… Miss Serena?”
“H theoff Then, she lifted her head abruptly and blushed eht of Rhode She hurriedly tidied her hair
“You et some rest”
“Yes, thank you, Sir Overlord I was just…”
“Oh-no, Serena, stop trying so hard Everyone can see that you can’t hang on any longer”
At this moment, Frederick turned around the corner His arh he had been through a rough night, he appeared cheerful He scrutinized his fiancée while she puckered her brows slightly and rolled her eyes
“No one will treat you as a mute even if you don’t speak, Frederick Come to think of it… those Undead Creatures are so stubborn We’ve struck them off several times but…”
