In the summer of the 78th year of the San Calendar …
Dozens of formal wizards hurriedly gathered in a small village next to the Kary River. Porl Kelermo led nearly 30 powerful formal wizards from the Wizard Tower to travel day and night, crossing several countries. They had finally arrived at the village on the Cloud Eagle that they had trained. It was not a magical beast, but something like the Jinnima. They met up with the wizards from Colossus led by Uruk from Amos Medical Hospital.
Frank, the master of the wizard tower, led dozens of official wizards into Danello City, which had been completely occupied by the undead creatures. A fierce battle broke out in the city. The master of the wizard tower had transformed into a hawk demon to fight against Adonis,, who had transformed into the King of the Dead!
Frank, who had a strong regenerative ability, coupled with a strong defense ability and dream witchcraft, fought against Adonis,, the King of the Dead. Although Adonis, had become a level seven mythical creature, he did not have a low-level mythical life template. He only had the immortality of a mythical creature, as well as a strong mind power control and coverage ability.
But even so, he still relied on his huge mental strength and the power of the zombie dragon, in addition to the overwhelming undead that he controlled. The soul fire was his extraordinary creature template power, densely covering his own combat power that was far less than that of a Level Seven Mythical Wizard.
The extraordinary power of blood witchcraft and the projection ability of the dream wizard destroyed a large area of Danello City.
The evil dragon roared, and witchcraft continued to intertwine in the sky. A large number of illusions and monsters appeared in the sky above Danello City. Extraordinary power tore the sky apart, but they were still gradually killed by the attack of the King of the Dead and a large number of undead creatures. No one returned.
Nearly half of the wizards' high-end power had been defeated in Danello City. The Song of the Dead witchcraft could not be used repeatedly, so it could not transform a large number of undead creatures with soul fire as the core. Most of the creatures died directly, and their consciousness was decomposed and returned to the origin of the world. However, Adonis, still captured a large number of living people to transform, and the number of the undead gradually increased under the transformation of the King of the Dead.
After learning that dozens of wizards, including the master of the wizard tower, had not returned from Danello City, the army led by Paladin Ibu knew that they could not wait any longer. Nearly 200,000 troops crossed the Kary River and entered the Inan Province, launching a decisive battle against the army of the undead.
Above the Jiali River, a large number of corpses floated down from above. The corpses blocked the entire river, and blood dyed the river red. From Jiali River all the way to Yinan Province, the corpses piled up like a mountain.
The last time such a tragedy had occurred at the Kary River was when the army of the Church of Light and the Crete Empire had invaded the Kingdom of Menkaure. The King of Menkaure had committed suicide by throwing himself into the river with the Sword of the King. The entire Kingdom of Menkaure had been covered in corpses.
"Dong dong!"
"Dong dong!"
"Wu wu!"
The footsteps were dense, and the Death Knights were blowing their horns, summoning all the undead to gather here.
At the same time, in the Inan Province, the army of the dead was crossing the river. Death knights riding on skeletal horses crossed the narrowest part of the upper reaches of the Kary River, which was accompanied by the sound of horns. Countless dead souls had crossed the river, officially leaving the Inan Province and heading toward the Holy Seville Empire.
Looking down from the sky, the mighty army of the dead, which was composed entirely of monsters and the dead, covered the entire land. It was so dense that it made people feel cold in the summer.
At the back of the army, a zombie dragon was flying in the sky. Its huge body and wings shook, and the air stirred up by it could be felt on the ground. As the zombie dragon moved forward, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to move forward with it. The whole army of the dead was like a whole, and with the help of the zombie dragon and the King of the Dead, it had become even more powerful.
"Roar!"
With the roar of the dragon, the army sped up and moved toward the east. After crossing the Jiali River, they would be able to reach Sarga City. Along the way, the forces that could resist the army of the dead had been completely destroyed in the battle half a month ago.
In the battle half a month ago, the commander of the army, Holy Knight Ibu, had been severely injured by the snowstorm and hailstorm from above the clouds under the control of the black zombie dragon. Then, he had been held back by hundreds of thousands of dead souls, which had gradually led to the collapse of the army.
Holy Knight Ibu and Allen had died one after another, and the overwhelming army of the dead continued to fight against the orc army, regardless of their own lives. However, as long as the soul fires of the dead were not completely destroyed, they would not truly die. In this war of attrition, the army of 200,000 was constantly being consumed, and the cold, frost, and hailstones were constantly attacking them.
The upgrade of supernatural powers made the role of individual power more and more obvious in this kind of war. Ever since the emergence of supernatural powers, this situation had been accepted by all countries and ordinary people.
Although the orc army had killed a large number of dead souls, the real elites, such as the Knights of the North and the Holy Knights, had also been exhausted. After the deaths of Holy Knight Ibu and Allen, the army had completely collapsed. Nearly 100,000 people had been forced to cross the Jiali River overnight by the dead souls. Countless people had drowned or died in the river, while the rest had scattered like birds and beasts.
More than a decade ago, the war between the humans and the orcs had not only caused the destruction of the Crete Empire, but also the collapse of the entire central province. It had also caused serious damage to the Holy Seville Empire, which had only been gradually recovering in recent years. However, this war had pushed the Holy Seville Empire back to where it had been ten years ago, and the situation had become even more uncontrollable.
The King of the Dead carried the will of hundreds of thousands of Undead. He would chase after the living and drag everyone into the abyss of death. Moreover, in this kind of battle, there would be more and more Undead creatures. As the population grew, more and more powerful creatures would be born. Extraordinary Skeletons, Skeleton Mages, King-class Ghouls, and Headless Horsemen would be born one after another.
"We've lost! We've lost! The King of the Dead will lead the army of the dead!"
"The Knights of the North led by Lord Ibu were also defeated?"
"Even Lord Ibu died in battle! The power of evil is too strong!"
"What should we do? What should we do? "
"We can only escape to the north or south!"
The people who had long since learned of the orc army's crushing defeat and the Undead Army's crossing of the river had long since abandoned their cities and villages and fled to the north or south to the Red River Plains. Wherever the Undead Army passed, there were only abandoned cities and villages.
"Hurry up and leave! Maintain order!"
"Everyone, line up and leave in order!"
"Don't mess around! Violators will be severely punished!"
"How did it become like this? Are those undead monsters really going to attack us?"
"Hurry up and leave! I heard that those guys are coming soon! They eat people alive and turn us into monsters like them! I don't want to become one of those monsters!"
"God, why is this happening? Is this a punishment for us?"
In Saga City, the majority of the army evacuated first. All of the citizens would follow the army and migrate to the Primonius Province in the north, which was the former site of the Engido Kingdom. Although Saga City was large, it was not safe to defend, especially against the army of the dead and the King of the Dead.
Moreover, there were not many soldiers left in Saga City. Only by withdrawing to the base camp in the north, which was the origin of the Holy Seville Empire, could they reorganize their forces to fight against the army of the dead led by the King of the Dead.
A large number of trailers, horses, and camel beasts passed through the wide city gate. On the road to the north, countless people joined them. On the road, there was a long migration procession, with no end in sight. Countless orcs, with their children, abandoned their warm and comfortable homes and headed north. No one knew what lay ahead of them.
When a large number of Orcs left Sarga City and their homes, they cried bitterly. Many of the older generation had seen how this huge and prosperous capital had been built bit by bit on the ruins of the original Holy City by the hands of their generation. Now that they had left, it was very likely that they would never be able to return.
The densely populated Holy Seville had become empty as a large number of people moved north. As for Verthandi, she was in the Cory Cathedral in Saga City. She would be the last to evacuate, waiting for everyone to leave. Then, she would leave with her guards. Only in this way would the nobles and civilians of Saga City be able to leave safely.
In this cathedral, which was named after the first patriarch of the Faith of the Sun, Verthandi was alone. She was wearing a loose white dress and kneeling in front of the statue of God. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and prayed to God. From the moment the sun rose to the moment it set, she did not move.
