When the undead's sneak attack turned into a frontal attack, the situation on the battlefield of Fadan Port quickly changed. The liches used their air force for the first time. There were countless sounds of wings flapping in the darkness. The Kirrlutz soldiers on the city wall were still puzzled. What was that sound? But the young men of the White Lion Guards beside them had a drastic change in expression. "Get down!" They pulled their colleagues from the Empire to the ground and then shrunk behind the battlements.
The Coast Guards were dizzy from the fall. Before they could curse, a terrible rain of bones fell from the sky. Countless skeletal vultures fell from the sky and crashed onto the city wall. The soldiers who were hit by them had broken bones or died on the spot. A Cruz soldier who reacted slowly was hit head-on. His eyes bulged out, and his lifeless body flew a few meters away before landing on the ground. The skeletal vultures exploded immediately after landing on the ground, turning into a terrifying rain of fragments. The Coast Guards on the city wall who could not dodge in time suffered heavy casualties.
The veterans of the White Lion Guards who had participated in the War of the Black Rose and the Battle of Tosankad were fine. The new soldiers and the Cruz soldiers who had never seen the undead were unlucky, especially the Coast Guards who were not beside the White Lion Guards. For example, the independent team of Coast Guards who were responsible for defending the tower. Out of 30 people, seven of them were killed on the spot, and twelve of them were seriously injured. Other than the three people in the tower who were unharmed, the rest of them were more or less injured. Among them, Knight Wright and his two attendants who were commanding on the top of the tower were also on the list of the dead. This battle order could be said to have been wiped out on the spot.
In addition, one-third of the Coast Guards' archers were killed in this wave of attack. After receiving the casualty report, the others saw Baron Ludwig's eyes twitching.
However, the skeletal vultures' suicide attack only worked once. When they were about to dive into the air for the second time, they collided with the gargoyles stationed at Fattan Port. The liches below were still waiting for the second wave of attack to work, but suddenly, they saw countless shredded skeletal vultures falling from the sky like rain. Their corpses instantly accumulated on the ground of the battlefield.
Gargoyles!
When Sauk saw this scene, he immediately understood what the skeletal vultures had encountered. The gargoyles of the Erouine people had appeared more than once in the intelligence reports. The earliest report about them was when the arrogant Count Tónigel attacked the Black Sword Fortress. However, this army later suffered heavy casualties when they encountered the dragon army of the Jorgendy Ridge people. There should not be many of them left.
However, Sauk did not know that when Tónigel's fleet arrived, the Bugas had already replenished the number of gargoyles for Brando. He only saw a huge creature falling from the sky not long after. It was a gargoyle whose wings had been blown off. It fell heavily into the middle of a group of skeletons, crushing them into pieces. However, Sauk was not heartbroken. Instead, he was a little happy because after the first gargoyle fell, it quickly caused a chain reaction. This confirmed his guess that Erouine people did not have many gargoyles left. Otherwise, they would not have been unable to withstand the siege of the skeletal vultures so quickly.
One must know that the skeletal vultures were only an unorthodox unit in Wohnde. Even the undead in Madara did not count them as an official combat force. The gargoyles, on the other hand, were a genuine reconnaissance flying unit of the Bugas. The difference in combat strength between the two was not reasonable. If it were not for the huge disparity in numbers, the gargoyles would not have started to cause so many casualties so quickly.
The battle in the sky seemed to have quickly gained the upper hand, but the two squadrons of White Lion Guards and Coast Guards on the ground firmly blocked the skeletons on the path to the sea cliff. They even threatened the southern wall of the fortress from time to time. If it was a real battle between the undead of Madara, they would have arranged for a Black Knight to open up the situation, or at the very least, launch a charge of skeletal cavalry, or gather as many liches as possible to blast a path through the humans. But now, they did not even have a single skeletal cavalry, let alone a Black Knight. The few liches had become frontline commanders, each of them commanding hundreds of skeletons. As for gathering them to act as a long-range attack echelon, it was impossible to even think about it.
As for the undead, they did have a group of liches as magicians, but the frontline liches still counted on them to be of great use, so it was impossible for them to be exposed so quickly.
After all, the Coast Guards also had a group of magicians. In a close combat situation, whoever was exposed first would be dealt a fatal blow.
Therefore, the only thing that could support the skeletons on the ground was the limited number of skeleton archers. But they were only happy for a while, and soon, they were retaliated by the scattered magicians on the enemy's wall. Fireballs flew across the battlefield a few hundred meters and exploded on the wall. The skeleton archers who lacked protection immediately suffered heavy casualties, and the liches had no choice but to withdraw them.
As the battle continued, the skeletons were forced to retreat until they were out of the range of the enemy's archers. This was because there were too many of them, and they did not have to worry about consumption at all. It was also because of this reason that the liches were not worried about losing the battle head-on. They had tens of thousands of soldiers, but they could not use their full strength on the battlefield. Most of the undead were still trapped in the valley behind. In fact, less than one-third of them had joined the battle.
Of course, the undead did not want to spend half a day just to take down the main wall of Fathom Port.
Because the battle in the sky seemed to have come to an end.
The last gargoyle finally fell from the sky under the siege and suicidal attacks of the vultures. It crashed heavily on the southern wall of Fort Seacliff, creating a hole in the wall. At the same time, it was torn into pieces. After losing their last opponent, the skeletal vultures could finally invade the airspace of Fathom Port once again, launching attacks on the Coast Guards and the White Lion Guards.
Under such circumstances, Cruz's people had no choice but to withdraw their archers. Without the cover of long-range attacks, no matter how brave the White Lion Guards and the Coast Guards were, human strength was limited. They would eventually lose their position on the sandbar. If there was only the outer wall of Fathom Port, it would be much easier to take it down.
Moreover, the skeletal vultures could also attack the humans who were fighting with the skeletons. After all, the undead did not have to worry about consumption.
With the loss of air control, the situation on the battlefield seemed to have become extremely disadvantageous for the human side in an instant. However, at this moment, a mile or two away from the main wall of Fathom Port, there was another army that was quietly stationed. There was a small shabby monastery. In front of the monastery, there was a square. The low buildings in front of the square had been demolished, so the people in the dark could clearly see the situation of the battle in the direction of the city wall. The shadows of the people on the city wall were crisscrossing, and the deafening battle cries could be heard from afar.
In the crowd, The Shire silently raised his head and looked at the situation in the sky. At this time, a messenger trotted to his side and whispered to him, "Sir The Shire, it's almost time."
The Shire turned his head and looked at him. He nodded and said, "Leave it to me. Tell Miss Delfien not to worry."
After saying that, he opened his five fingers, and an exquisite card appeared in his palm, spinning slowly.
"At every moment, the energy is changing its form. With the Astral World as its home, the ultimate form of the energy life — Display: Aether Dragon."
The Shire loudly chanted, and a huge door of light opened behind The Shire. Plankton of all shapes and sizes swam out of these portals. The number of plankton was even more spectacular than the number of plankton at the Black Sword Fortress. Everyone in the square looked at this scene with great respect. This was the power of magic. Although they did not know that The Shire had borrowed the power of a Planeswalker, at this moment, their hearts were filled with a deep longing for power.
Many years later, those masters who had walked out of Valhalla would still vividly recall the scene today. However, many of them would die without understanding how Charles had managed to summon those ether creatures to the material world, nor could they figure out what level of strength and realm their teacher had reached back then.
Regardless of whether they understood it or not, countless aether dragons still rose into the sky at the first moment. The skeletal vultures that had just arrived in the sky above Fathom Harbor were immediately met with misfortune. Even the griffin Knight at the Black Sword Fortress was no match for the aether dragons, let alone the skeletal vultures. The battle in the sky immediately took a 180-degree turn. The corpses of the skeletal vultures quickly fell like rain. The density of their corpses was at least two to three times greater than when they were fighting against the gargoyles.
Sauk, who was still standing on the southern wall of the Sea Cliff Fortress, saw the appearance of the aether dragons and knew that the undead's air force was done for. However, this was also a signal that showed that Fathom Harbor was almost out of tricks, except for Greysword Saint-mephistopheles, who had not yet appeared. However, he was not worried about this. Her Majesty the Queen would help them solve this problem — as long as the other party dared to appear.
What came next was the real feast.
Sauk felt relieved. At least until now, all the situations were within his expectations. This proved that the plan was quite successful.
At this time, the undead's necromancer group finally appeared. This was because the undead commander had no choice but to use them to suppress the aether dragons in the sky. Otherwise, if they completely lost control of the air, it would definitely be a nightmare for the skeletons on the battlefield between the Sea Cliff Fortress and Fathom Harbor. It might even be difficult to defend the Sea Cliff Fortress. In just half an hour, the humans had broken through the southern wall of the Sea Cliff Fortress several times, threatening the safety of the fortress.
However, the undead's necromancer commander played a little trick. It divided the necromancer group that was formed by the necromancers into two. It wanted to lure the human's necromancer group to open fire and expose its existence. It had to be said that its cunning little trick really worked. When the necromancers launched an attack on the aether dragons in the sky, the human's necromancer group, who was lying in ambush behind the city wall, immediately poured magic on the necromancers, who were almost a mile away.
For these necromancers, a catastrophe instantly befell them. Fireballs, meteorites, and hailstones fell on their heads as if they were free. These necromancers, who did not have any protective abilities, were directly blasted into pieces. Then, as if the human's necromancers were still not at ease, they used magic to crush them again.
The two rounds of magic from the humans made Sauk overjoyed. Of course, he already knew the necromancers' strategy. Two rounds of magic from Fathom Harbor meant that the other party would not be able to fight back for a short period of time. This was undoubtedly great news for the undead. Sure enough, the undead commander did not intend to give up this opportunity. It immediately ordered another group of necromancers to attack the human's necromancer group.
Unfortunately, it and Sauk had only guessed the beginning, but not the end. The necromancers encountered The Shire, who was half a Planeswalker, with a green poisonous gas bomb.
The Shire was not surprised by the little trick of the undead. He showed another card — Magic Refraction.
Magic Refraction
Law II
Water 3
[Spell]
Pay X Mana (Wizard). With the target spell as the target, it will choose X new targets.
After this card is used, it will be shuffled into the deck.
'Your magic is under my control — Steeple Guard, Odu.'
The result was predictable. Although the undead had a high tolerance for poison, having their spells reflected was enough to make them flustered. Moreover, they had made the same mistake as the humans. In order to ensure that they could completely eliminate the human sorcerers, they had also used all their black magic. However, the humans had come prepared, and the undead had no way to counter them. As a result, when they finally recovered from their own attacks, they were greeted with a calamity of annihilation.
Seeing that the necromancers' group was completely destroyed, there was finally a burst of cheers on the city wall. The mages' beautiful counterattack cheered everyone up. The morale of the Coast Guards and the White Lion Guards was greatly boosted. Even Count Alcorn and Baron Ludwig, the city lord of Fathom Harbor, who were watching the battle from the city wall, were greatly relieved. The latter's gloomy face finally eased a little.
"Erouine's wizards are really good," Count Alcorn could not help but praise in his excitement.
"Wait," Eugenie noticed something unusual at this time. "Look over there!"
"Oh my god!" A few nobles beside Delfien looked in the direction that Eugenie pointed and could not help but exclaim, "The sea, the undead are attacking from the sea!"
Of course, the undead did not have a navy. At this moment, under the effect of the Disorder of Chaos, the entire coastal area of Silvervalley Bay was frozen due to the harsh low temperature. However, due to inertia, both sides of the battle did not think of attacking from the frozen sea at the beginning. At this moment, the undead whose attacks were blocked seemed to have run out of tricks and had to find a way out from the desperate situation. However, the way they found a way out hit the weak spot of Fathom Harbor.
