"It's not like I haven't tried it before, but the enemy is too cunning." Orr shook his head and said.

As the commander of the undead army, the skeleton mage will immediately order a retreat when the battle situation is not going well. If there is a serious defeat, he will order the undead monsters to cover his escape. It is very difficult to capture him.

It's not like there have been no successes. Once, the commander was captured with great difficulty.

As a result, in order not to leak the news about Kaz's disciples, the skeleton mage decisively used magic to set himself on fire, preferring to die rather than surrender.

"Alas -" Hughes sighed, "I don't know when the battle with the undead monster will end."

Almoran, he had said words of comfort and encouragement several times before, and he was probably tired of hearing them.

"Knight Commander Benjel, Captain Topham, what's the situation with the undead monsters?"

At the right time, Legovis climbed up to the watchtower and hurriedly inquired about the situation.

Yafen also came up and when he saw the leader, he quickly bowed and performed the knight's salute.

"The enemy seems to be still preparing and has not launched an attack yet."

Even when the eldest prince arrived, Hughes kept his eyes fixed on the north and never looked back.

"Your Highness, please rest assured that we are well prepared to meet the enemy."

Legovis didn't care at all about this. He stepped forward and looked into the distance through the falling snow in the air, and saw large groups of small black dots arranged in several square formations.

"Oh? There seem to be more undead monsters than last time."

Al came to the eldest prince and explained: "As winter deepens, the number of undead monsters will only increase."

"I see."

Suddenly there was a sharp whistle in the cold wind, and the undead army moved with it, and the skeleton mage finally gave the order to attack.

The enemy commander uses this weird sound to direct the actions of the undead army. The efficiency of transmitting orders is much more efficient than that of humans, as easy as controlling his own hands and feet.

A large group of undead monsters rushed over. They divided into two waves and attacked the east and west sides of the city wall.

"They actually attacked in two directions. Then I'll go to the eastern section of the city wall to support them."

Legovis took the sword from his back, turned around and walked down the watchtower.

"Yafen, protect His Highness." Orr warned.

"Yes, leader."

After saying that, Yafen quickly followed.

Next, Hughes issued various orders to deal with the attack of the undead monsters.

Let the magician cast large-scale magic now. The slingers are going to use trebuchets to throw boulders. The archers will shoot arrows on their own depending on the situation. Half of the soldiers on the middle wall will be sent to support the east and west walls. The remaining soldiers will be on guard.

Even if the undead monster didn't rush into the middle, we can't take it lightly. Who knows if the enemy commander may have any conspiracy.

Orr also gave instructions to the Templars to prepare for battle.

Red Sand Fortress has two magician teams consisting of ten people, each team has five fire magicians and five wind magicians.

The team of magicians responsible for supporting the east end city wall are performing large-scale magic. The nine magicians followed the captain's instructions and chanted spells in unison.

This is a necessary process. Without chanting, it is impossible to ensure that each magician mobilizes magic power consistently, and it can easily lead to failure in magic release.

After singing, the ten magicians raised their staffs together, and a ball of light appeared on the top of each staff, five red and cyan.

A huge flame suddenly appeared high in the sky, and it was very conspicuous even in the wind and snow.

Immediately afterwards, the flame accelerated and rotated, and the bottom formed an inverted cone shape. After a while, it touched the ground and moved around. Wherever it passed, large areas of snow melted, exposing the sand below.

This is a large-scale magic - fire tornado.

The undead monsters nearby could not escape at all and were sucked up by the strong wind and burned to death.

Of course, the commander would not just watch his men being burned to death and immediately give orders to disperse.

The undead monsters that had originally gathered moved away from each other to minimize the losses.

On the other side, more than ten large trebuchets are ready. The trebuchets in Red Sand Fortress are larger than those in Bianzhu Town, and have heavier counterweights, so the throwing range is naturally longer.

Two soldiers worked together to move a huge stone to the grenade net, while another soldier poured a viscous black liquid on the stone and set it on fire.

This black liquid was discovered by the Knight Commander near the Red Sand Fortress. It can be ignited with fire, but it will emit a large amount of smelly black smoke and cannot be extinguished with water.

At first, Hughes didn't know what the black liquid was used for, so he thought about it and used it to increase the power of the trebuchet.

The flint thrown out will leave a burning flame on the ground, which will take a while to burn out. It can have a certain impact on undead monsters that like cold and are afraid of heat.

"preparation--"

After adjusting the attack direction, a knight saw the right moment and suddenly waved his arm and shouted: "Let go!"

After cutting off the rope, pieces of large firestones were thrown out, falling to the ground and shattering. The scattered small stones scattered in all directions, expanding the burning range of the flames.

Each large firestone can knock down several undead monsters, and the spreading flames slightly hinder their progress.

When the enemy entered the shooting range, the archers pulled up their bowstrings one after another, slightly aimed at the target, and upon hearing the order, they immediately released their fingers and shot sharp arrows.

Don't worry about how bad the current shooting conditions are. If you shoot so many arrows at once, you will always be able to hit several targets with favorable arrows.

The above attacks only slightly reduced the number of undead monsters, and most of them still rushed to the foot of the city wall.

Similar to the situation in Border Guard Town, the undead monsters here also use the method of stacking human towers to climb the city wall. The wall of Red Sand Fortress is nearly ten meters high, and you can still climb up using this method.

In the defense section where the Templars were responsible, several Templars lined up neatly, holding their swords in front of them and praying to the gods.

After praying, they suddenly turned their swords at a ninety-degree angle. The swords emitted a holy white light, and the swords in their hands were given sacred elements.

Arriving at the city wall, the Templar knights swung their long swords and flew several white light blades, knocking down the human towers that had just been piled up below.

"Wow! Help!"

Not far away, several soldiers thrust out their spears but failed to stop a carrion wolf from jumping onto the city wall.

Seeing this, the nearest Templar rushed over and cut off the head of the carrion wolf with one drop of his sword. He then added another blow, completely destroying the magic core.

Shaking off the black blood on his sword, the Templar knight turned around and said to the soldiers: "Aim before drawing your gun. Don't give the undead monsters a chance."

"Yes!" the soldiers responded in unison.
