Sequeira simply didn't dare to believe it, but he had no choice but to believe it. Because as soon as the soldier finished his report, he could already hear the sounds of battle from the surroundings. Moreover, judging from the sounds, Sequeira was certain that these were the undead army.
"This … This is impossible!" Sequeira instantly understood what was going on. Right now, there was only a single undead army in the Dwarven Kingdom. He naturally knew which army it was, but shouldn't they have returned to defend their territory? Why would they appear here? Could it be that they didn't even want their home anymore?
Sequeira, who had been focusing his attention on the human army, now realized that he had made a mistake. He had actually forgotten about the undead army that he thought had returned to defend. The scouts he sent out were mainly towards the direction of the human army, and didn't scout the rear at all. But it was too late for regrets now.
"Assemble! Formation! Defensive formation! " Sequeira hurriedly shouted to his surroundings. Because they were suddenly ambushed, and it happened when his soldiers were about to rest, they didn't have any formation to speak of. All of them were still sitting on the ground, and when they hurriedly stood up, they didn't even know where their commander was. Moreover, there was a large group of enemies rushing over, so it was normal for them to panic. Thus, Sequeira hurriedly shouted to reveal his position, so that his troops could gather.
Of course, this had a side effect as well. By shouting like this, the undead army would know where their general was, and the undead army would also know where the enemy's general was. Upon hearing Sequeira's shout, the undead army immediately found the right direction and charged towards Sequeira.
At this time, the undead army actually didn't have an advantage in terms of numbers. The Dwarven reinforcements numbered 70,000, while the undead army only numbered 41,000. However, the Dwarven army was still being beaten back step by step, and simply didn't have any strength to fight back. The main reason was the undead's sudden ambush, and the other was the difference in stamina.
As they had been hurrying for several days, the Dwarven army was basically in a state of exhaustion. Just walking alone was already very tiring, and they had to advance with their armor and weapons. Because all the territory in the rear had been plundered by the humans, they didn't have any supplies, which made it even more difficult for the Dwarven soldiers. When they arrived here, they basically couldn't even stand up, so once they were ambushed, they didn't even have the strength to hold their weapons, let alone fight back.
On the contrary, the undead army had rested here for an entire day, so they were full of stamina and supplies. Thus, it was very easy for them to attack.
As a result, although the Undead didn't have the advantage in numbers, once the battle started, the Dwarves were immediately routed. The troops that Sequeira had gathered with great difficulty were also defeated in an instant. The Dwarves' encirclement was rapidly shrunk, and very soon, they were surrounded in a circle.
"General, the soldiers are too tired. They can't stop the enemy's attack at all!" A general immediately reported to Sequeira.
"Even if we can't block it, we have to block it. Otherwise, we'll be annihilated here. We are His Majesty's last hope. If we all die here, then the Dwarf Empire will truly perish!" Sequeira roared.
"But … But General …" They all knew this, but the problem was that they really couldn't stop them.
"Damn it, this is all the humans' scheme!" Sequeira said. He now understood why the human army wasn't in a hurry to attack their main city, but instead chose to slowly wait for their army to arrive. It was completely a bait to hasten their advance. Although Sequeira had already sensed that something was wrong, it was too late for him to see it now.
"General, the army can't hold on any longer!" At this moment, a Dwarven general covered in blood rushed to Sequeira's side and said.
"God Katoke! Why are you abandoning your people?! " Knowing that he was about to lose, Sequeira roared towards the sky and angrily said. However, he naturally didn't receive any response. The only thing that could be heard was the constant screams of the Dwarven soldiers.
"I am the Undead Lord Sulfur Banserro! Which one of the Dwarven generals dares to fight me! " Suddenly, a loud shout came from this side. Sequeira looked towards the direction of the voice and saw an undead general riding an undead warhorse on his left. With one look, one could tell that this was an enemy general. Hearing Sulfur's name, Sequeira immediately recognized him as one of the three Undead Lords that had invaded the Dwarven Empire.
The hatred of having his country invaded and his people slaughtered was ignited in an instant. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to escape this time, so he might as well die in battle. Even if he died, Sequeira wanted to drag an enemy down with him. Thinking until here, Sequeira didn't say anything else and directly pulled his warhorse over. He picked up his weapon and shouted towards Sulphur, "The Dwarf Race's 2nd Legion's General Sequeira is here. Undead trash, do you dare to come and die!"
"Sequeira? I think I've heard this name before. " Sulfur turned his head to look at the majestic Sequeira. He had heard of this name before, but this was the first time he was facing him. According to the intelligence, this Sequeira should be a relatively famous general of the Dwarven Race. If he could capture him, it would be a great contribution. Sulfur smiled faintly and impolitely accepted this contribution.
"Good, it's you!" After choosing his target, Sulfur immediately whipped his horse and charged towards Sequeira. Sequeira did the same, at the very least, he also charged back towards Sulfur. The distance between the two quickly closed, and as they crossed paths, the two simultaneously circulated all of their Battle Qi and slashed towards each other.
"Clang!" The two weapons violently collided and actually ended in a draw. The impact of the two was too fierce, causing them to fall off their horses and directly fall onto the battlefield.
"Amazing, as expected of a general!" Sulfur's fall wasn't light, but the undead's advantage in this aspect was very obvious – they wouldn't bleed. After a moment of dizziness, Sulfur shook his head and stood up once again.
Sequeira's situation was much worse. First, he discovered that his aura wasn't at its peak. Because he was also very tired, he received a lot more damage from this attack. However, because he was already fighting to the death, he simply didn't care about his body's condition and could be considered to have used 120% of his strength. After a bloodthirsty roar, Sequeira stood up and once again charged towards Sulfur.
"Bang!" The two collided once again. But this time, Sulfur felt a lot more relaxed. He could withstand the opponent's attack, and it seemed that the opponent's condition wasn't very good.
"Old thing, you can't move anymore!" Sulfur said with a smile.
"Damned undead, I want you to accompany me in death!" Sequeira also roared.
While they were confronting each other, suddenly, "Whoosh!" A long arrow flew out of nowhere and shot into Sequeira's back. Sequeira's attention was completely focused on Sulfur, so he didn't notice the situation around him. This arrow was also very fatal, because it happened to be at a critical juncture of the battle.
"Wah!" Sequeira immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Sulfur couldn't see the arrow in Sequeira's back, but he also saw this opportunity. He directly raised his hand and slashed at Sequeira's body.
"Pu!" The sword slashed across Sequeira's chest, directly hitting his vitals. Blood gushed out as if it was free, and almost in an instant, Sequeira's life was taken away.
"Hahahaha! The first merit is in our hands! " Sulfur laughed loudly. He stepped forward and pulled Sequeira's hair, then raised his hand and slashed again, perfectly cutting off Sequeira's head. Then he raised it high and shouted to the surroundings, "The enemy general Sequeira has been killed by me, Sulfur!"
"What!" Hearing that their general had died, the surrounding Dwarves who were still fighting naturally turned towards the direction of the voice, wanting to confirm the situation. As a result, when they turned their heads, they saw Sequeira's head in Sulfur's hand.
The Dwarves on this side couldn't fight anymore. They were too tired, and now they just wanted to sleep on the ground and be done with it. Fortunately, they resisted with their willpower. But now that their general was dead, in an instant, the Dwarves' last will to fight collapsed.
"The general is dead!" "The general is dead!"
"I surrender! Stop fighting! "
The morale of the Dwarves immediately fell to the lowest point. The Dwarves who were about to assemble into a formation completely collapsed. Immediately, there were soldiers who surrendered and fled. Unfortunately, the undead that surrounded them didn't seem to have any intention of letting them go. Whether they fled or surrendered, all of them were slashed.
The following battle was no longer a battle, but a one-sided massacre. The Dwarves whose willpower had collapsed couldn't withstand the ravages of the undead. The battle lasted for about two hours, but most of the time, it was the undead chasing after the Dwarves. By the afternoon, the battlefield was basically cleaned up. Apart from a few extremely lucky Dwarves who escaped in the chaos, the remaining 70,000 Dwarves who returned were surrounded and annihilated by the undead.
At the same time, the human's second legion also arrived at the Dwarves' main city, Molten Iron City. At this time, the Dwarves were still waiting for their reinforcements.
