The bold words he had spoken in front of Marshal Alonso and the confidence he had when facing Randall's defeated army had all vanished into thin air on this gloomy night.
Regardless of whether it was the imperial soldiers wielding their swords and shields, or the soldiers shooting at the undead with their crossbows, their attacks were all ineffective without exception. They could only watch as the rusty weapons of the undead spirits pierced through their fleshy bellies while they were still alive.
The painful screams were so clear in Brigadier General Harrov's ears.
There was no time to retreat, nor was there any order to retreat. These imperial soldiers were all well-trained elites of the empire. Not a single one of them deserted in this moment of life and death.
It was too tragic. This wasn't a war at all, but a massacre.
More than thirty thousand imperial soldiers were reduced to corpses after less than half an hour of battle.
At this time, the only survivors were Brigadier General Harrov, his elite guards, and some senior officers. These people added up to less than twenty people, and surrounding them was an army of hundreds of thousands of green undead.
At this time, an even more terrifying army walked out of the forest outside the barracks. This was also an undead creature, but it was an even more terrifying one.
At the front of the formation was the legendary Death Clan. These black-skinned, goat-headed monsters were said to be from the underworld. They held huge scythes in their hands. Following them were some necromancers. These necromancers were already necromancers, and their strength couldn't be underestimated. At the back was a team of Ghost Riders. They rode on Underworld Ghost Horses and were definitely powerful high-level undead.
The boundless undead army consciously opened up a path for this undead army. Soon, the Death Clan surrounded Harrov and the others. Harrov and the others even forgot to resist and could only be slaughtered.
Then, a large number of necromancers summoned the souls of the thirty thousand imperial soldiers in front of Harrov in an instant. A large number of green resentful souls were summoned. These were the lowest level undead, and also the souls of the imperial soldiers just now.
A Ghost Rider who seemed to be the commander of this army rode an Underworld Ghost Horse to Harrov. Harov's trembling hand dropped the steel sword in his hand. The others also lost their will to resist.
Just like that, from a soldier of the Empire to a high and mighty general, he was nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
In the dark night, there was no wind, but it was cold. This bone-chilling cold finally came to an end as more than 20 heads fell to the ground. The blood-dripping scythes in the hands of the Undead Clan announced the complete failure of the battle against the undead army. What humans would face was perhaps a flood of undead and the end of an era.
On the other side, in the town of Boheep, Natalya and I finally returned with Evena. After going through so many hardships and narrowly escaping death, we were happy that we were able to find Avina and that she was still alive.
I don't know if it was the Elven leather armor that protected her or if she wasn't fated to die, but it was fate that brought us together again.
Because Flants and the rest had followed Randall's army to Bohep, the people of the Demon Hunting Blade could finally regroup in Bohep.
In this small town, the people of the Church, the Demon Hunting Blade, and Lord Randall's men were gathered here to fight against the undead.
There was also something that we didn't expect to happen here.
When Natalia met Lord Randall, we found out something that we didn't know.
It turned out that Natalia was also of the Hill bloodline. I didn't expect that Natalia was also of noble birth. However, from Natalia's aura, we could tell that she had an extraordinary background.
But we didn't expect her to be a member of the Hill family of the German Empire's Freiden.
Natalia's mother was Randall Hill's elder sister. Natalia grew up under the care of her family. She was full of curiosity towards new things from a young age and had a strong aptitude for magic.
Once again, by chance, Natalia met a mage from the Magic Academy. Natalia wanted to become a mage very much, because she felt that mages were all people with vast knowledge.
It wasn't easy to become a mage. First of all, one had to have an affinity with the magical elements and an extraordinary spiritual force.
Magical elements covered the entire world, but ordinary people couldn't sense their existence. Only those with extraordinary talent or those who had undergone special training could sense them.
The meaning of magic was to use one's powerful spiritual force to control these magical elements and condense them into a richer mana in one's body. That was why mana was almost like a second life force to a mage.
Magical elements were basic materials contained in heaven and earth, but they were very unstable and difficult to be used directly. Mana, on the other hand, was a stable product that could be used directly after being controlled and polished by one's spiritual force.
Therefore, the strength of a mage was often determined by the strength of one's spiritual force and the mana in one's body. Of course, elemental affinity was especially important at this time. Only when one's elemental affinity and spiritual force were strong enough could one's ability to condense and transform magic into their own mana be strong.
That was why ordinary people were often destined to have no chance of becoming a mage in their life because of their elemental affinity, let alone spiritual force.
As for releasing a spell, it was through means such as using one's spiritual force or spiritual force to release the mana in one's body to form a spell.
Therefore, chanting spells and so on was just a means. The original source was still to use spiritual force to release mana to form a spell.
Our Natalia was the same as most people. If she wanted to learn magic, she had to go through an elemental affinity test.
"After the test, our Natalya has a high affinity with the fire element. Her spiritual power is also six times higher than that of an ordinary person's spiritual power under the magician's test.
Therefore, Natalia's aptitude was extremely suitable to become a mage. This young mage successfully became Natalia's mentor and guide on the path of magic for Natalia.
However, the Hill family was a conservative and stubborn family. They were too traditional and revered magic at the same time. Natalia was an anomaly. Even her mother didn't understand her. Natalia felt very lonely. Only her mentor accompanied her and enlightened her, giving her a glimmer of hope.
As time passed, the two young hearts formed a deeper bond with each other.
