Amidst the billowing smoke, Bowska was surrounded by enemies from all sides. Upon seeing Man Frey, almost everyone had a look of despair on their faces.
In fact, the Elves already knew a lot about the Undead, especially the Tomb King and the Vampires. When Nagash was still a High Priest of Nikohara, he captured a few female Dark Elf sorcerers, tortured them, and forced them to teach him magic. Then, based on Dark Magic, he developed Necromancy.
But the humans of the Old World were different. Before Emperor Charlemagne ascended the throne, there were already traces of Vampires in the Old World. But the humans didn't believe in any of them. Adhering to the principle of "don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors", they firmly refused to believe in the existence of Vampires. Even Nagash, whom Emperor Charlemagne defeated personally, was only a very powerful sorcerer.
It wasn't until the late period of the Three Emperors Era, when the Vampire Wars continued for hundreds of years, that the people of the Old World finally realized that Vampires and Necromancers weren't just legends!
But even so, nearly half of the Old World residents, especially the generally ignorant and backward serfs, and the people in the southern countries, such as Estalia, Tyrell, and the western part of the Empire, still refused to believe in the existence of Vampires. They thought that Vampires were just some particularly powerful "rebellious nobles" who were stigmatized and demonized because they fought against those in power. They must be the fighters of democracy! Heroes of justice!
But the gray-skinned guy in front of them, who rode a zombie dragon, wore a black cursed armor, and had white eyes and no eyebrows, couldn't be associated with a fighter of democracy or a hero of justice at all. The humans hiding in the room were so scared that they threw themselves on the ground and begged, "Don't, don't kill me!"
"Man Frey Von Karstein, the last Vampire Earl, the most insidious and cunning of the three Vampire Earls. May I know what you want to do here?" Alissanda's clear green eyes looked at Man Frey descending from the sky. The little queen's crisp and soft voice slowly sounded. She tried to negotiate her way out, or at least buy some time.
"In the depths of the Ridge of the World, there is a place called Nagashza. My dear Princess Alissanda, the Von Karstein Family and I, together with the Lemia Family, the Blood Dragon Family, and the Nicoraci Family, extend an invitation to you. We hope that you can visit Nagashza." Man Frey's invitation gracefully and politely, "We will hold the grandest banquet and prepare the highest level of welcome ceremony. of the highest level of the highest level."
"I feel your sincerity, Your Excellency Man Frey, but I already have an appointment with His Majesty the Supreme King of Eternity Peak." Alissanda gracefully and politely returned an impeccable courtesy, and the little queen said sincerely, "The Von Karstein Family is noble and elegant, and it has flourished under the leadership of His Excellency Blood Ancestor Vlad. I believe that you, like him, can understand and accept our proposal. After we visit Eternity Peak, we will definitely consider your invitation again. What do you think?"
"Does Assur think that the name of the Von Karstein Family is not worth mentioning?" Man Frey's words were sincere and trustworthy, "Is it not enough to compare with the dwarf of Eternity Peak? That really makes me, the head of the Von Karstein Family, ashamed. It seems that I have to personally invite Your Highness to Nagashza. "
"Alissanda has never meant to look down on Your Excellency's family. It is really the Eternity Peak's invitation first. Everything is a misunderstanding. It seems that we lack communication with each other. I promise you, Your Excellency Man Frey, after I visit Eternity Peak, Assur is willing to sit down and discuss these issues with you."
"Your Highness, it seems that I did not make it clear enough." Man Frey smiled, "You may not be qualified to visit Eternity Peak."
As soon as Man Frey's voice fell, the dwarf emissary, Dolin Ironhelm, a relative of the Supreme King Solgreen, had his head chopped off by Gur's axe, and the dwarf's blood spilled all over the ground.
Alissanda clenched her teeth, and the little queen's face turned pale.
Man Frey's words were not only to kill, but also to destroy their hearts!
The little queen understood the dwarves. Even if Assur could escape alive today, but all the dwarves died in battle, then there would never be such good negotiation conditions between the High Elves and the Dwarves.
Man Frey laughed heartily, "Your Highness, since you are unwilling, I have no choice but to offend you!"
The Undead army continued to advance, and Gur was almost unstoppable. Alissanda watched with heartache as the Avalon sisters carefully selected by her mother, Alariel, fell into a pool of blood one by one, becoming ghosts under Gur's axe. The High Elves were gradually drowned by the Undead, and then their own brethren were revived and joined the battle against her.
"Your Highness, we have to break through!" Eternal Queen's maid, Josh Paris, shouted anxiously to Alissanda, "We can die, but you must not fall into the enemy's hands. We have to ask for reinforcements!"
"It's too late." The little queen shook her head calmly, "We didn't ask for reinforcements when the Green Skins and the Orcs attacked. It's too late now … but perhaps there is still a chance."
As soon as she finished speaking, Alisala was suddenly bathed in a rain of white and green light.
Her clear singing voice rang out on the battlefield.
It was the famous military song of the High Elves, "The Phoenix Flag Will Never Fall."
"Oh, have you seen, through a glimmer of dawn?"
"What are we cheering for?"
"Whose Phoenix flag is still fluttering in the wind and standing on the ground despite a night of war?"
"Alariel's teachings are always remembered in our hearts."
"The huge Dragon soars in the sky, and the magic spells are booming."
"They witness the Phoenix flag fluttering forever."
"In this free country, home of the brave."
"Fluttering ~"
The singing voice spread throughout the battlefield, and all the High Elves were surprised to find that they had left the ground and soared into the sky!
High Level Incantation, Riding Horses in the Clouds!
The remaining 100 High Elves all rose into the sky. Alissanda's face was pale. She waved her staff and pointed, "Azur, break through to the west and retreat to the Sea Gate!"
"Yes!" The Elves answered loudly. Dragon Prince Torrendier was the first to lead the cavalry to charge in the air. They broke through the group of Bloodthirsty Heavenly Ghosts and forcibly opened a path for the Elves.
The remaining Dwarves watched in anger and despair as the sharp-eared Elves ran away. Then, the remaining dozens of Dwarves were drowned by the Undead and killed by Gur.
The thousand-strong Dwarven army sent by Supreme King Solgreen had all died in battle. Not a single one survived.
Alissanda said a silent apology.
The High Elves began to break through the encirclement in the air and almost broke through the encirclement.
Frey Mandel was caught off guard by the High Elves' attack. The vampire count was shocked. If the High Elves broke through the encirclement, everything would be over!
Fortunately, he was not fighting alone.
Lich King Akerhan had already appeared on the other side. He raised the staff in his hand and hammered the ground, casting two Incantations one after the other.
"Wind of Death!"
"Purple Evil Sun!"
The High Elves flying in the air were hit by the Incantations and fell. They were then killed one after another.
"Today, not a single Elf will escape." Akerhan spat out Soul Fire. The Lich King said coldly, "The Lord of the Undead must be revived, or our Kingdom of the Undead will fall."
Powerful spells swept across the ground. Alissanda's magic could not compete with Akerhan's, and the High Elves fell into the dust.
At this time, only two Giant Eagles could still fly.
Akerhan also noticed the two Giant Eagles and cast another spell.
"Curse of Time!"
One of the Giant Eagles was hit and rapidly aged, turning into a skeleton. The remaining one could not escape either.
At this time, the Dragon Prince of Kaldor, Torrendier, stood out. The Dragon Prince used his body to block Akerhan's spell. The Curse of Time hit his chest. The Dragon Prince screamed, and his hair turned white in a few seconds.
"For Kaldor!" Before he died, the Dragon Prince looked at the Giant Eagles flying in the sky. The arrogance on his face disappeared, leaving only a smile. "For Ossouin."
The Giant Eagles escaped and flew in the direction of the Sea Gate.
On the other side, Alissanda sat on the ground, full of fear and trembling. The Eternal Queen looked at the Undead surrounding her and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Other than her, all the High Elves were killed.
Man Frey walked in front of the little queen and pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her head. "My Highness, do you believe my sincerity now?"
"Assuan curses you!" Alissanda said coldly. "Assuan will get the news. Just you wait, Man Frey."
"Hmph!" Man Frey snorted. The Vampire Count suddenly laughed. He clapped his hands, and dozens of stinking strong zombies dripping with corpse water came up. "It seems that our Highness needs to understand some principles before she will obediently shut her mouth."
"You, what do you want to do?" Alissanda's face suddenly turned pale. The little queen subconsciously wanted to retreat, but Man Frey reached out and grabbed her calf that was wrapped in white golden night sky patterned pantyhose. "I'm just curious. What's the difference between an Elf's body structure and a human's? And what's the difference between the Eternal Queen's body structure and that of an ordinary Elf's? "
"No! No! No!!! " The little queen's face turned pale. A disgusting fat zombie with mucus dripping from the corner of its mouth stuck out its tongue and wanted to lick her face. Alissanda was scared to tears.
"Enough! Man Frey. " Lich King Akerhan finally couldn't stand it anymore. He walked up. "The mission is completed, my Highness. We must hurry up and bring you back to Nagashza immediately!"
"Wuwuwu!" Alissanda struggled.
The tomb guards took out golden chains and tied the little queen's wrists and ankles behind her back. Then they blindfolded her, gagged her mouth, and put her on the Undead Chariot.
"Wuwuwu!" Alissanda's hands were tied behind her back and she couldn't see. She could only struggle.
The capture plan was a success.
Next, it was time to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony and prepare to deal with the High Elves' rescue. The High Elves couldn't be indifferent to the little queen being captured.
Man Frey couldn't help but laugh at this thought.
There was a saying that fighting with the heavens was endless fun. Fighting with the earth was endless fun. Fighting with people was endless fun!
… I am the little queen's line of no misery …
At this time, on Obion Island, Knight King Laing and his knight army naturally had no idea what was happening thousands of miles away.
On the contrary, Laing was sitting on the wall at this time. Olica stood behind him and served him tea.
It was still raining heavily on Obion Island.
The siege had lasted for nearly three weeks.
In these three weeks, the knight army defeated the defenders of Konquata and made a total of three attempts to break through.
Laing realized that he was replicating the most legendary battle in Caesar's classic Gallic War, the Battle of Alesia. Inside and outside the city walls, besieging the city to attack the reinforcements?
In fact, it didn't look like it. Because compared to Caesar, Laing had another big weapon in addition to his excellent dwarven engineering.
That was hundreds of cannons and thousands of muskets.
Due to the limited number of shells, Laing ordered that the cannons not be wasted on attacking the strong fortress of Konquata. This gave the defenders hope of breaking through. So, after a few days of siege, when the barbarians' food reserves were greatly reduced, Harold, who was not only scared out of his wits but also scared out of his wits, ordered the cavalry to try to break through the siege.
Hundreds of cavalry were instantly drowned in the volley of muskets and crossbows.
Harold was so scared that he didn't dare to mention anything about breaking through the siege.
After a few more days, Zainaik, the champion of Tzeentch, carefully studied the defense of the siege wall and found a weak point. At this time, the food in the city was almost exhausted. Zainaik decided to lead his troops to break through the siege.
Braving the rain of arrows and rows of muskets, Zainaik and his Tzeentch's Chosen Warriors approached the wall. In the end, Veronica's light beam directly burned through his shoulder armor. Then, the Chosen Warriors of Tzeentch bumped into the five Grey Knight recruits led by Petain. Spells were useless against them, and they were not good at hand-to-hand combat. Zainaik was forced to retreat to Konquata with his men.
The siege continued.
At this time, the food supply of the defenders was running out. The barbarians did not have the habit of hoarding large amounts of food. Although there were streams flowing through the Beast Mountain, drinking water alone would not solve the problem. The barbarians in Konquata City, especially the barbarian militia and civilians, began to kill each other, eating human flesh for food. The defenders gradually fell into chaos.
At this time, Zainaik came up with an extremely vicious idea. Didn't you Knight King Laing claim to have all the eight virtues of a knight? Didn't you Brittany claim to be the country of knights?
Taking advantage of Harold's serious injury, Zainaik ordered about 20000 people, the elderly, the sick, the women and the children in Konquata to be driven out of the city. He hoped to use this method to break through the defense of the knights, or to consume their food, or at least to make these chivalrous people feel guilty.
As it turned out, Zainaik thought too much.
Knight King Laing coldly gave the order to kill all the barbarian civilians. These people were our enemies, regardless of whether they were male or female, old or young, old or weak. Facing these barbarians who believed in Chaos, there was no need for any mercy or chivalry.
"Only the Lady can give the order to forgive them. Anyone who dares to question my decision, I can send you to see the Lady now."
"Eliminate all evil!"
Zainaik's plan failed. These 20000 barbarian civilians were either killed by arrows or starved to death between the walls of Konquata City and the walls of the knights' army.
This greatly damaged the morale of the defenders.
But at this time, the sky in Obien began to boil. The earth and the swamp trembled because of the thunder of iron hooves.
The reinforcements of Chaos finally arrived and approached the battlefield.
Now, Laing knew.
The real battle was about to begin!
