The vanguard of the undead army had already reached Daggers' defensive line. The fastest ancient corpses were less than 500 meters away from the frontline.
The spell formation at the frontline lit up to obstruct the undead army's advance.
The magic casters and sharpshooters started to shoot the ancient corpses that were above the 7th-tier.
At the same time, thousands of giant dragons rose into the sky again. Under the cover of the rain of arrows, they attacked the undead army again. They even consciously avoided Cthulhu, who had stopped over 10 kilometers away.
"How is that possible?! How can those fellows' arrows be so powerful?! "Josh stared at the undead army that was falling under the rain of arrows with disbelief.
The ancient corpses were still extremely tough even though it was due to the extreme cold of the ice field.
The Roth Empire's military's crossbows could not even penetrate the low-tier ancient corpses at a long distance.
However, the rain of arrows was killing the undead army at a crazy rate. Even some 7th-tier ancient corpses fell after being shot. The damage was far greater than the cannons.
The natives of the Norland Continent were killing the undead army in the simplest and most effective way.
Since the start of the attack, the undead army of a million had been reduced by more than half in a short time.
Right now, the undead army was not even able to fight the allied army in a real sense. The ancient corpses were best at close combat, but they were not even effective at all.
"What kind of weapon is that?" Xi looked at the ancient corpses that fell under the rain of arrows with a shocked expression.
The Norland Continent's technology level was very low. The cannons were already out of her expectations. However, how could the arrows with limited power cause such great damage to the ancient corpses?
She had also conducted rigorous experiments on these ancient corpses before. Compared to living creatures, these ancient corpses that did not feel pain and fear had stronger defensive abilities. Even if their limbs were broken, they could still drag their broken bodies forward. They were very difficult to deal with.
"Could it be that they have carved a spell formation?" Xi frowned.
However, she quickly dismissed the idea.
Setting aside the fact that it was extremely difficult to inscribe spell formations onto these tiny ballistae, just the consecutive volleys from before had already amounted to over 10,000,000 ballistae. Even if all of the magic casters on the Norland Continent worked themselves to death, they still wouldn't be able to inscribe so many spell formations in such a short time.
At the same time, the undead army began to throw out their ice spears.
However, the cliff, which was hundreds of meters high, became the natural wall of the alliance army. Together with the fortifications that were built in advance, although the ice spears caused some damage to the alliance army, their lethality was limited.
However, the Undead Army's madness was on full display at this moment. They braved the rain of arrows and falling boulders and started climbing the cliff.
The hundred-meter-deep ravine was filled up by the fallen ancient corpses.
However, the glutinous rice that was laid out at the bottom of the cliff indeed displayed its suppressive effect on the low-level ancient corpses. After the ancient corpses that were not afraid of death encountered the glutinous rice, they actually revealed expressions of fear.
At the same time, the Undead Army finally found a breakthrough. The defenses of the three canyons were broken, and the Undead Army swarmed in.
It was as if a flood that had been blocked by a dam had suddenly found a spillway.
However …
This was not a flood channel, but a real meat grinder.
The ancient corpses rushed into the canyon, and countless killing arrays set up by the array masters lit up, frantically killing the densely packed ancient corpses.
The two sides of the canyon were filled with allied forces. Arrows, spells, and boulders rained down from the sky. There was no lack of Level 10 experts among them. They were specifically targeting high-grade ancient corpses to kill.
"It's climbing up from here!"
Someone exclaimed.
A five-meter-tall ancient corpse withstood dozens of peach wood arrows and jumped up the battlefield. It kicked a cannon and a few artillery soldiers down the cliff, then rushed into the group of archers to kill.
This was a Level 8 ancient corpse. Its strength was far above most of the allied forces. It was as if it had entered an unstoppable state.
However, the allied forces' formation was not messed up because of this. The archers changed targets and aimed their crossbows at the ancient corpse. At the same time, there were warriors who came to support in this direction.
At the forefront was a knight holding a sapphire longsword. He had a square face and a determined expression. The longsword that was dyed red by cinnabar lit up with a golden light. He leaped up and slashed down with his sword.
The ancient corpse leaned to the side to avoid being hit in the vitals. The sword slashed its shoulder.
The cinnabar on the longsword flashed red, and the sword cut off its entire left arm.
The crazy ancient corpse waved its right arm, and its sharp claws also cut off the knight's right arm.
Blood splattered everywhere. The fallen right arm was still holding the sapphire longsword.
At the same time, an elf at the back pierced a peach wood spear into the ancient corpse's head.
The spear pierced through and nailed to the ground.
The ancient corpse slowly fell to the ground and turned into a pile of black ashes.
"Medic! There's an injured person here! "
Soon, a medic arrived and bandaged Conti's wound.
Conti looked at the severed arm on the ground in a daze, his face pale.
The medic helped Conti up and said loudly, "Go to the back!"
"No, I can still fight." Conti shook off the medic's hand and bent down to pick up his sword with his left hand.
The medic looked at him with a complicated expression, but did not persuade him. He turned and ran to the next injured person.
Ancient corpses kept breaking through the line of defense. The battle on the city wall began to heat up.
The undead army that rushed into the canyon quickly lost members under the pincer attack of the allied forces.
However, because there were too many of them, there were still some that escaped and rushed toward the entrance of the canyon.
"They're here!"
At the entrance of the canyon, countless allied forces had been waiting for a long time.
Sargeras tore off his clothes, and red lava began to flow on his body.
The Burning Legion followed suit. Flames rose from their bodies, distorting the cold air.
The forest trolls had already climbed up the cliff. Their roots dug into the stone wall, locking their bodies firmly onto the cliff. Their vines extended forward, crisscrossing the several hundred meter wide canyon like a spider web.
Dozens of ancient corpses appeared in their sight. They were all powerful ancient corpses that were more than five meters tall. Their bodies were covered in wounds, but their auras were still shocking.
Behind them, more and more ancient corpses appeared and rushed toward the entrance of the canyon.
The most concentrated killing array at the entrance of the canyon lit up. The ancient corpses that rushed into the array were instantly cut into countless pieces.
Vines broke out of the ground and immediately bound the ancient corpses' legs.
The best archers of the allied forces were almost all gathered at the two sides of the canyon. Archers of grade-8 and grade-9 equipped with magic runes and mahogany arrows could kill high-grade ancient corpses.
However, there were too many ancient corpses.
They rushed through the array, broke the vines, and collided with the allied forces that were guarding the entrance of the canyon.
The most tragic battle of the war had just officially begun.
They had no way out. They could only wait for their comrades to replace them.
The order they received was to defend to the death.
Anyone could die, but not a single ancient corpse could leave the canyon.
