Back in the room, Li Huailin first gave some instructions to Dramo and Bruno, then used his badge to teleport to Death Valley and returned to the undead camp.
Although the soldiers of the undead camp didn't know Li Huailin's identity, they knew that he was a big shot based on the attitude of the two overlords. At the very least, he should be of a higher rank than the two overlords. Therefore, they immediately brought him to the big tent.
"Your Highness." Although he didn't know why Li Huailin came again, Soudeis didn't ask much. He guessed that there was something he forgot to tell him.
"How is Sulfur?" Li Huailin asked.
"The replacement of his limbs has been completed." Soudeis said, "Now that Lord Sulfur has woken up and is adapting to his new body, he should be fine soon."
"How long is soon?" Li Huailin asked.
"This … according to Sulfur's strength, he should be able to recover in about a day." Soudeis thought for a moment and said.
"A day, that's too long." Li Huailin said, "Can he move now?"
"This … he can move, but not very quickly." Soudeis said, "Your Highness, do you have a job for Lord Sulfur to do? Can I do it for him? "
"Not only him, you have something to do too." Li Huailin said, "I just received news that the humans are going to attack our camp."
"Huh?" Soudeis was stunned. "Your Highness? Why? "
"What why?" Li Huailin asked.
"Isn't the second legion your legion? Why do you want them to attack us? "Soudeis asked.
"Oh, now that there's a temporary change of commander, it's too troublesome for me to run around. It's better to let her do it." Li Huailin said.
"This is troublesome. If the second legion has a change of commander, we can't fight them head-on." Soudeis said.
"What's the trouble?" Li Huailin said, "When will Maxim's reinforcements arrive?"
"I've already brought Your Highness's order this morning, but it will take at least three days for Maxim to arrive. After all, it takes time to gather the troops and rush over. It will take at least three days." Soudeis said.
"How many troops do we have now?" Li Huailin asked.
"There were originally 23000, but after the war with the humans, it was reduced to 18000. After we got the corpses yesterday, we had the Necromancers work for an entire night. Now, there are around 19000 troops," Sudais reported.
"The 2nd Division has 60,000 regular soldiers and 20,000 logistics and reserves … The difference in combat power is close to four times …" Li Huailin said. "It's a bit tricky, but it shouldn't be a problem. Hurry up and call the generals and Sulfur over."
"Yes, Your Highness," Soudeis immediately answered.
Soon, all the generals of the Undead Race arrived, including Sulfur, who was recuperating. On the way, they heard Soudeis's explanation and were a bit anxious. Li Huailin also looked at Sulfur. Right now, Sulfur was still wearing his armor, so he couldn't see how this guy pieced it together. However, from his movements, it seemed like he hadn't fully recovered yet.
"Your Highness, those humans really want to take back their corpses. We definitely can't let them succeed. Don't worry, with me here, we will definitely defeat them again," Sulfur said.
"Alright, I'm worried because you're here." Li Huailin said. Didn't you almost let me win again yesterday? How dare you say such things now? I really don't know where this guy's confidence comes from. "Alright, there's no time to talk about this. The situation is urgent, I'll talk about our response now."
"Please enlighten us, Your Highness," Sulfur and Soudeis immediately said.
"Everyone already knows that the human army will be here soon. Unfortunately, their commander is no longer the Duke of Aquitaine, but a new person, and a woman," Li Huailin said.
"Eh?" This was the first time all the generals of the Undead heard of this, so they were a bit surprised.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing to be afraid of against the second Division of the human race. Their strategy is obvious. They will bring all their troops and defeat us head-on. That's it," Li Huailin said.
"Your Highness, even if that's the case, the human army still has a huge advantage in terms of numbers. Should we choose to retreat for now?" an Undead general suggested.
"Nonsense," Li Huailin immediately shouted. "If you're so cowardly, how are you going to show your face in the future?"
"Yes, Your Highness, I was wrong," the general immediately said.
"Then, Your Highness, are we still going to ambush them? But if the human army advances head-on, there aren't any suitable ambush spots nearby. It's practically a flat plain, "Soudeis said.
"We can lure them into our ambush," another Undead general suggested.
"No, no, no …" Li Huailin shook his head. "We won't ambush them this time. Ambushes are too boring. We'll play hard this time and face the human army head-on."
"What!!" the Undead general shouted at the same time.
On the other hand, the human army had finished gathering and was ready to set off. All the soldiers knew that the commander-in-chief of the army was temporarily replaced by Princess Royal Su Lan. They were extremely displeased. In their eyes, the only person who could lead them was Li Huailin. Although the Princess Royal was a member of the royal family, she was nothing in their eyes. Why did she suddenly take over the position? The Duke of Aquitan had only lost a battle, and the royal family was already trying to usurp his power?
The soldiers were indignant, but Maccon still tried his best to explain that it was an order from the marshal, not a usurpation of power. Most importantly, the goal of the operation was to retrieve the corpses of the soldiers who had been abducted.
Although the soldiers were still very against Su Lan's command, they still wanted to retrieve the corpses of their comrades. If they were turned into Undead, it would be worse than death. In the end, most of the soldiers chose to obey the order.
At this time, Su Lan had already donned a full set of armor and was standing on the general's platform. She looked down at the densely packed army below. Su Lan was very excited. Although it was only temporary, she had finally achieved her dream. All that was left was to win. From her point of view, this was very easy. After all, the Human race had a huge advantage.
"Warriors of the empire, we are fighting here today for the millions of people behind us, and for our king. My brother, Prince Anthony, you are the most elite warriors of the empire. It is your duty to protect the country. Let us fight together and win!" Su Lan said in high spirits as she drew her sword.
Unfortunately, although Su Lan was very agitated, the soldiers below the stage did not have much of a reaction. To be honest, they did not think much of the Empire's Eldest Princess. She had never fought in a war before, and any soldier below the stage had more battle experience than her. How could they be convinced by her?
Su Lan's expression turned sour when she saw the situation.
"You guys, are you trying to embarrass our marshal?" Maccon said. "Is the Second Army so undisciplined? Is the Second Army unable to fight when the marshal is not here? I don't think the marshal would want the Second Army to end up like this. "
"…" The soldiers were ashamed. They lowered their heads and did not say a word.
"Cheer up, you are men, aren't you? Are you afraid of the Undead? Even I, a woman, am not afraid," Su Lan suddenly said.
"We are not afraid!" the soldiers immediately said.
"Then prove it to me. Pick up your weapons and eliminate the Undead that have invaded our land," Su Lan said.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "the soldiers were enraged and immediately shouted.
"Oh?" Maccon was stunned. He did not expect Su Lan to have such a way to motivate the soldiers.
"Let's go!" Su Lan immediately said when she saw the morale of the army rising.
Just as Li Huailin had thought, Su Lan brought almost all the troops. The main force of 60,000 soldiers was dispatched, and the logistics team and reserve team were also dispatched. There were 70,000 troops in total. The rest of the people were to defend the city, just in case. The mighty army set off from Degara City and pushed toward the camp of the Undead.
"Deputy Maccon, send out the reconnaissance team to check the surroundings carefully. Once you find anything, report immediately," Su Lan said. The march of the human army was not very fast. Because they had just been ambushed by the Undead yesterday, Su Lan was very careful this time. At the beginning, she had sent out a large number of reconnaissance teams to investigate the situation around the camp.
"If we advance like this, will the Undead's troops just abandon the camp and retreat?" Maccon asked. Although it was safer this way, it was too slow. If the Undead's reconnaissance team found out, they might just abandon the camp and retreat.
"We can retreat. Our goal is the corpses of our soldiers. If the Undead retreat, we can't take the corpses with them. If we force them to retreat, we will achieve our goal," Su Lan said.
"Hmm …" Maccon nodded. Su Lan's idea was very similar to his. She was also a relatively stable person, which reminded Maccon of the time when he was Marshal Marlindoff. Maccon felt that although Su Lan had never been on the battlefield, she was very talented in leading a team.
"Report … Erm … Chief of Staff?" a soldier suddenly ran over and said.
"What is it?" Su Lan asked immediately.
"Enemy troops!" the soldier said immediately.
"Where? How many? "Su Lan asked immediately.
"Right in the middle of the road ahead, right in front of our team. About … 5,000 people," the soldier said.
"Huh?" Su Lan and Maccon were stunned.
