Countless Undead Horsemen came from the sky and entered the north from all directions. They were waiting for Primonius, the last major war fortress of the orcs. A few days ago, they had broken into Blanc Fortress and burned the entire city to ashes.
However, this also bought the last bit of time for the Orc Kingdom, allowing the remaining civilians and refugees to successfully retreat to the rear. However, as long as the Orcs were defeated again, they would completely lose the ability to resist, and the entire northern region would no longer be able to stop the Undead Cavalry's charge.
"Roar!"
"The King of the Dead is here!" Verthandi said as she stood on the city wall of Primonius and looked at the black dot that had appeared in the distant sky.
The roar of the zombie dragon reverberated through the sky, causing the weather to change. The originally clear sky gradually turned dark and gloomy, causing visibility to decrease.
"They are waiting for the night to come. The decrease in visibility is not a problem for the undead, but it is fatal for the orcs and humans."
As the undead army approached, everyone could clearly see their true appearance. They could only see countless Death Knights leading a huge army of skeletons, standing in the distance, under the leadership of a high-level undead creature, in an array in the distance.
They were divided into different types of soldiers, and they were equipped with a large number of weapons and armor that they had looted along the way. Their terrifying appearance and the pressure created by their silence sent chills down everyone's spines.
He lowered his head and looked at the endless Skeletons in the distance, as well as the Death Knights with glowing eyes, as well as the Headless Horsemen and Skeleton Mages. Many of the soldiers standing on top of the wall were seeing the Undead Army for the first time, and their legs couldn't help but tremble under the pressure.
At night, dark clouds gathered in the sky, blocking out the moon and the stars. The entire night was so dark that not even a trace of light could be seen. The lighthouses on top of the city walls and inside the city burned with flames, illuminating the entire city walls and inside and outside the city.
However, as the dark clouds gathered in the sky, snowflakes began to fall. The air became colder and colder, and the biting wind made people feel like they couldn't even hold their swords properly.
"Woo woo!"
The horn sounded, and the undead in the distance suddenly began to move. In the distance where the light from the fire couldn't reach, there was a sudden commotion. There was the sound of orderly footsteps and strange roars.
Verthandi had never left the city wall, waiting for the enemy to attack. "It has finally begun!"
Verthandi unsheathed her sword, and countless orc knights and soldiers behind her followed suit. On the walls of Primonius, swords and shields were raised.
"Humility, integrity, compassion, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, and soul!"
"Fearless before a strong enemy, courageous and loyal, worthy of the sacred, loyal and upright, willing to die rather than submit, protecting the weak, and not going against the heavens!"
Following Verthandi, everyone began to chant the most famous oath in the Holy Seville Empire. The sound of the oath resounded through the sky, and all the knights who had taken the oath felt the power of the oath as they looked at Verthandi's figure.
Verthandi pointed her sword forward, "Today, as long as we defeat this Death Army, we will be victorious. The King of Death alone is not worth fearing. As long as we persevere, we will win."
"Me! Will, the emperor of the Holy Seville Empire, will never leave this city! "
Verthandi shouted angrily, "Victory or death!"
Everyone on the city wall felt as if their chests had been set ablaze. Their hearts seemed to be on fire. Even though the snow was swirling around them and it was as cold as winter, everyone shouted at the top of their lungs without any regard for anything else.
"Victory or death!"
"Victory or death!"
Roars accompanied the Undead Army's charge. At this time, countless Undead Army carrying siege weapons, weapons, and shields were placed on top of the city walls. Siege vehicles and arrow towers were pushed up one by one as they rushed to the top of the city walls.
At this moment, Primonius was not the only city that was being besieged. Several large fortresses, as well as dozens of small cities, were also under attack by the Death Army. As such, the entire defense line was filled with smoke.
However, the main target was still Primonius, as the main forces of the Death Army and the Orc Army were all gathered there. As long as Primonius fell, it would mark the end of the Holy Seville Empire. As such, this was the main battlefield.
Large numbers of Skeleton Mages used fireballs to bombard the city walls, and catapults outside the city kept hurling flaming rocks into the city. Flames and sounds of fighting could be heard everywhere, as well as the surging of Transcendent power.
The Skeleton Mages waved their witchcraft, the extraordinary power of the King-class Ghouls, and the sword lights of the Holy Knights on top of the city walls. From time to time, the city walls would collapse, but they would be quickly blocked by spikes and shields. The witchcraft soldiers would charge forward, blocking the Undead army outside.
Twenty-three days later, a large number of corpses and skeletons were scattered outside the city. The corpses were piled up at the foot of the city wall, forming a thick ladder. In some places, the corpses were almost half the height of the tall city wall. In the cold, the corpses had been frozen into pieces of cured meat, which gave off a horrible smell.
Many parts of the city wall had been damaged, and there was no time to repair them. Many houses and churches in the city had been torn down to block the gaps in the wall. The corpses that had been dragged down from the top of the wall would pile up into a huge mountain every day. The stench of burning corpses could be smelled all over Primonius.
As the wind and snow continued to howl above the city wall, the whole of Primonius was frozen like an ice castle. There were many injured people in the city, and many of them had died from the cold. In the distance, news of the fall of the city kept coming. At the moment, only Primonius and a few other small cities were still standing.
The army of the dead outside of the city kept increasing, and a large number of them were still gathering towards the city. Although there were nearly a hundred thousand soldiers in the city and more than a hundred thousand of the dead outside of the city, due to the bad weather and the cold weather, the death rate of the dead army was still much higher than that of the dead army.
Although this was not a direct attack, in a large-scale battle like this, it was far more terrifying than a direct attack. In addition to the fact that the dead army did not know exhaustion and death, the orc army was in danger, and the city of Primonius was in a desperate situation.
As the army of the dead continued to gather, and the rhythm of their attacks gradually slowed down, everyone in the city knew that the King of the Dead, who had not participated in the direct attack, was going to launch an all-out attack on Primonius.
The horn of the dead outside of the city started to sound again, and all the soldiers on the city wall started to get up. This time, the army of the dead didn't attack in the middle of the night, but in the morning.
"Is it the final battle?"
"Is the damn King of the Dead finally going to show up?"
A large number of undead swarmed up like a tide. This time, a huge black dragon appeared in the sky along with the undead. The black corpse dragon flapped its wings, which were over ten meters long, covering a large area of the sky as it emerged in front of everyone.
Verthandi stood on the city wall. At this moment, her armor was full of holes, and her body was covered in blood. Verthandi had fought until late into the night before the undead army retreated. She didn't take off her armor and guarded the city wall with all the soldiers, helping the doctors treat and bandage the wounds of the wounded.
"Dragon!"
"It's a real dragon!"
"That's not a dragon! It's a corpse dragon! It's an evil creature that crawled out of hell! It's even more evil than a dragon!"
Everyone raised their heads to look at the sky. The snow falling from the sky was not pure white. There was even a tinge of gray. Dark clouds covered the sky, blocking the sun and light. Although it was already dawn, the entire world was still dark.
As the corpse dragon appeared in the sky, a large number of wizards and holy knights from Colossus rushed into the sky. Even Verthandi raised her holy knight longsword and attacked the King of the Dead.
The King of the Dead pulled the reins, and suddenly, the huge corpse dragon stopped in the sky above Primonius. As the dragon's head twisted, it opened its huge mouth, and the dark clouds in the sky started to swirl.
A huge flame emerged from the corpse dragon's mouth. The corpse dragon had merged with the King of the Dead, and its dragon breath had completely changed from an ordinary dragon breath to an extraordinary power.
A huge pillar of fire shot out from the Zombie Dragon's mouth, instantly traversing a distance of 100 to 200 meters and smashing into the ground. It plowed through the city walls like a plow, burning the ground and the city into a fiery abyss.
Many of the creatures that had surrounded the King of the Dead were instantly burned to ashes like mosquitoes. They didn't even have time to scream, as most of the guards on the city wall were turned into ashes.
At this moment, the entire city of Primonius fell silent. The faces of the guards, who had been holding their swords and shields, suddenly turned pale as they looked at the sky in disbelief.
"What is that?"
"Is that the King of the Dead?"
"God, how could you allow such evil to exist in this world?"
At this time, the corpse dragon continued to flap its wings, and the dark clouds in the sky started to swirl violently. A large amount of hailstones and icicles were slowly pulled out of the clouds and smashed down towards the ground.
Countless weird-shaped hailstones were mixed with the snowstorm and smashed towards the ground. The entire world was covered in snow and ice, and the icicles covered almost half of Primonius. There were so many casualties that the guards on the city wall were no longer able to defend.
"Huh?"
The King of the Dead suddenly asked. He suddenly turned his head and looked behind him. A knight was flying in the sky at high speed. The knight had managed to dodge the icicles and the attack of the corpse dragon, and was now behind the King of the Dead.
The three-meter-tall Undead Monarch stretched out his hand and grabbed at Verthandi. His huge claw brought with it a thick black fog as he tried to grab Verthandi. However, Verthandi quickly circled around him and swung her longsword at the Undead Monarch with an intense light.
At that moment, the Zombie Dragon swung its tail at Verthandi, sending her flying into the sky. Then, the Undead Monarch waved its hand and a large number of icicles swept towards Verthandi, covering the ground where she had fallen.
Verthandi's armor was instantly pierced by the icicles, and her body was covered with blood. She couldn't stand up for a long time, and she had completely lost the ability to fight. At this time, countless undead creatures were rushing into the city from outside the city wall. Primonius had fallen!
Verthandi's face was full of grief. She forced herself to lean against the gap in the city wall. Seeing the countless undead swarming towards her, she cried out in grief and anger, "Ah!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Is this fate?"
"I don't accept this fate! What is this world?"
"Ah!"
"Tell me! Tell me! Father! "
Countless undead knights approached the collapsed city wall, raising their knives. The orcs had been defeated, and now it was the time of the undead. They would conquer the entire northern part of the Alen Continent and turn it into a kingdom!
The King of the Dead roared in the sky, "Death is the end of everything! The end of the world will begin here!"
The soldiers in the city stood up one by one and looked outside. The undead creatures were approaching them like a tide, and they clenched their swords tightly. There was only despair left on their faces.
The horns of the undead sounded, and a large number of Death Knights and Headless Horsemen rushed into the city with ferocious roars.
Suddenly, a huge shield was erected along the city wall. The shield swept up and formed a semicircular shield, which protected the entire city of Primonius, blocking all of the undead creatures from charging at them.
Countless undead creatures hit the shield, but they were immediately disintegrated into powder. Many of the undead creatures were at a loss, and even the King of the Dead had no idea what was going on.
"What's going on?"
"What is this?"
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky were suddenly penetrated, and a huge ray of light dispersed the dark clouds that were controlled by the King of the Dead Dragon. The sunlight shone on Primonius, and the warmth made everyone feel as if they were looking at heaven.
