To Roy, Dendera Fortress was only a temporary stronghold for recruiting troops. After occupying it, Roy did not want to stay for long.
However, when Dendera Fortress was first occupied, it was still intact. But when Roy and the others left, it had become dilapidated and riddled with holes. In addition to the damage caused by Roy's experiments with magic, there was also the damage from the summoned demons. Even if the people of Bracada could take the fortress back in the future, they would probably need to repair it extensively before it could be used.
During this period of time, the number of low-rank demons that Benia had summoned from the Abyss had exceeded ten thousand, and there were more than four thousand middle-rank demons. In addition, Roy had summoned more than one hundred and forty high-rank demons in the last two days. There were about fifteen thousand demons in this mixed army.
In addition, Giovanni had brought more than ten thousand vampires and Cassandra had been digging out the undead that Roy had buried in the mudslide during this period of time. There were at least twelve thousand undead troops, and the total number of the mixed army was close to forty thousand.
This was the terrifying thing about the demon and undead troops. As long as there was enough time, they could quickly multiply.
If these forty-thousand-odd troops were troops of other races, then logistics would probably be a huge problem. But Roy did not need to consider logistics at all. The undead troops did not need to eat, and the demon troops only needed to eat a big meal to maintain their stamina consumption for a long time. It could be said to be very convenient.
The mixed army marched majestically along the river into the depths of the canyon. As far as the eye could see, there were dense human heads everywhere.
Roy did not ride on Fat Tiger this time. He floated in the air unhurriedly and flew at the front of the army with Julia and Benia. On the ground behind him was a group of ugly zombies and mutants.
That's right. Roy took away all these zombies and mutants, and he continuously gathered the animal zombies he encountered along the way. The main reason was that these zombies did not have any intelligence at all, and they actually dared to attack the summoned Abyss demons. In order to prevent the team from falling into chaos, Roy could only personally control them.
After passing through the canyon, another lush plain appeared in front of them. However, the strange thing was that this plain was dead, and there were no signs of animals at all.
"It seems like the spread of the T-Virus is more serious than I imagined …" Roy said.
"Yes, when we were investigating earlier, we discovered that the animals on the plains and the aquatic fishes in the rivers were all infected and turned into some strange … monsters!" Julia continued, "And these mutated animals … zombies actually spontaneously gathered in the direction of Aglan Fortress!"
"Lord Osiris, the plague virus you created is really terrifying!" Benia looked at Roy with an intoxicated expression. "These zombified animals seem to be constantly searching for and attacking living creatures. I'm afraid Aglan Fortress is already in a terrible state."
Roy nodded and looked at this vast plain. The area of the plain was rather large. A conservative estimate was that the number of animals living on this plain was probably in the hundreds of thousands. During the time Roy and the others stayed in Dendera Fortress, the number of infected was probably terrifying. If these animal zombies were really heading toward Aglan Fortress, then when Roy and the others arrived, they would probably see a huge disaster.
The only pity was that Roy did not collect many souls of these infected animals …
Although it was a mixed army, there was actually a clear distinction between them. Demons had always hated undead creatures, so Cassandra's undead army had never been with the demon army but lagged behind at the back. Even so, the demons would occasionally look back at the undead with ferocious and tyrannical gazes.
In particular, Rafaro's huge body was naturally very conspicuous. Even though he looked quite powerful, the high-rank demons summoned by Roy did not care about him. From time to time, they would flaunt their weapons and gesture at him from afar.
This made Rafaro very aggrieved. When he was angry, he really wanted to rush over and fight the big demons, but the problem was that when he saw the number of big demons, he was terrified. There was nothing he could do. There were too many …
The dignified faceless, the son of Malassa, Lord Rafaro, had actually fallen to such a state. This made Rafaro unable to tolerate it. The only thing that could support him now was the belief of resurrection, so he could only constantly fantasize about the scene of him killing in all directions after recovering his body and use the method of spiritual victory to comfort and encourage himself.
It took nearly a day for the entire army to reach the end of the plain. Although Aglan Fortress was tens of kilometers away from Dendera Fortress, that was only in a straight line. It was still quite far to walk down. Moreover, there were too many troops, and it was quite a drag on the marching speed.
At noon the next day, after turning around a mountain range, the figure of Aglan Fortress finally appeared in front of everyone.
However, the first thing that entered his eyes was the black smoke that was rising in spirals from the sky above the fortress …
Aglan Fortress was currently in a state of war!
Under the city wall in front of the fortress, there were countless black dots. Not only that, but there were also on the city wall. Roy's eyes were sharp, and he could tell at a glance what those black dots were! They were countless ruined, bloodstained, and already dead animals of the plain! They were fearlessly facing the rain of arrows and magic from the fortress and climbing the city wall of Aglan Fortress with all their might. They advanced wave after wave, not stopping until they died!
In a trance, this scene reminded Roy of the zombie movies he had seen in his previous life, such as Zombie World War. The situation in Aglan Fortress was very similar to the classic scenes in the movies.
Even from a long distance, Roy could see the terrified and desperate expressions of the elves on the city wall. There were simply too many animal zombies, and the scene was as dense as an army of ants. Not only would it make trypophobia sufferers' hair stand on end, but it would also make everyone who saw it feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
More than a dozen green dragons flew in the sky, constantly spewing acid dragon breath at the group of zombie animals below. However, this kind of corrosive dragon breath was not necessarily better than flames at this time. This was because the zombie animals that were emitting corrosive smoke, as long as they didn't lose the ability to move, they would continue to climb up regardless of anything. They overlapped one after another, and the ones that surged up from behind stepped on the ones in front of them. They kept piling up until they were level with the city wall, and then they could rush in.
There was no need to mention the ape zombies that were good at climbing. Although they were the main targets of the elves, there were too many of them, and they might not be able to guard against all of them. Some escaped the net and climbed up the city wall in a few moves. Then they rushed into the elves and bit indiscriminately, using their deaths in exchange for scratching a few elves.
Every time an elf was scratched, they could not help but scream in fear because they had seen it many times. Anyone who was scratched would soon become like these monsters and attack their companions.
Roy and the others could see green light shining everywhere on the city wall of Aglan Fortress. The great druids were using nature spells to heal their injured companions and clean up the infection. But in front of so many injured people, the druids' treatment was simply a drop in the bucket. Even if they exhausted their magic power, they might not be able to save many people.
The city wall of Aglan Fortress rose in a spiral. The lower city wall was occupied, so they could only move up. But under the attack of the animal zombies, their defense line retreated again and again. No one knew how long this battle had been going on. Anyway, when Roy and the others appeared, the elves' defense line had already retreated to the top area.
"The elves are finished!" Seeing this scene, Benia asserted. "We don't even need to take action …"
Giovanni and his clansmen flew in the air and saw this scene. Giovanni was fine, but it was the first time his clansmen had seen such a scene. For a moment, the vampires felt their scalps tingle.
"Your Excellency, is this … really that demon's doing?" a vampire whispered to Giovanni.
They were all brought by Giovanni, and they only knew that Giovanni had reached an agreement with a demon to cooperate. But they had never seen Roy take action, so they did not have any impression of Roy's strength. Now, when they saw this visually shocking scene in Aglan Fortress, their hearts began to tremble.
"That's right …" Giovanni said excitedly. "How is it? Do you think these monsters are more terrifying than the sea of skeletons? They're more suitable as cannon fodder than skeleton soldiers. With such numbers and fearless attacks, they can break through the defense line of any army … "
"But … Your Excellency, I have to remind you!" The vampire said hesitantly. "You have to be careful when cooperating with such a terrifying demon …"
"Don't worry. Demons only want souls, but do we have souls?" Giovanni said confidently. "We have nothing to lose by cooperating with demons!"
"Let's hope that's the case …" The Vampire didn't dare to say anything else, and could only mutter to himself.
Defeat, continuous defeat. Especially when the sharp-eyed elven rangers saw the demon army in the distance, the last confidence and perseverance of the entire Aglan Fortress disappeared.
"We're finished! Airy's reinforcements are still on the way, but we've been defeated by these plague-infected monsters first … "Several elven heroes commanding the battle in the city said in despair." Let the soldiers ride the green dragons and escape as much as possible! "
