Seeing the enemy massacre his own soldiers in a large shadow of ice, fire and lightning, the officers led by the Border Prince were furious and shouted for the mage to come and support. The hired mages, who had already become exhausted in the previous war, also protested loudly: "How is it possible?! The number of corpse witches on the other side is much more than us, not to mention those vampires who are proficient in black magic, and those magic attack devices - look at how many of us are?! The magic power has long been overdrawn!"

“Successfully.”

Seeing his army gaining the upper hand again at the top of the city, Vared chuckled and nodded: "It seems that victory is not too far away. The army of these bandit leaders is much worse than the Sigma Empire."

"You are right, leader. After all, the border princes have insufficient background and are not innate. It is a matter of being unable to make strong soldiers." Beside Vared, Adjutant Ram took the words like this.

"Yes...but after we took over this territory, this defect of innate and insufficient foundation became ours." Valed couldn't help but sigh when he heard what he said. And Ram also sighed, looking up at another group of ancient tomb guards who were blessed with the secondary magic defense barrier, and following the siege tower, he rushed to the top of the city. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"A general who is rare in a thousand years... This is indeed worthy of its reputation. But the leader is far superior to ordinary people in military affairs. So what is the ability of civil affairs?"

After thinking of this, Ram immediately shook his head and forced himself to forget this idea. Because it was too inappropriate to doubt his leader in this way.

"The soil is also very barren." Just as Ram was stunned when he was thinking about things, Vared squatted down again, grabbed a handful of dry soil and rubbed it on his palm, and then showed a disappointed expression: "This kind of land cannot support too many people."

"So leader, have you figured out how to solve this problem?" Seeing Valed say this, Ram couldn't help asking this question. After hearing this question, Valed was stunned for a moment, and then smiled confidently:

"Of course, of course I thought about it - in fact, when I attacked the Prince of the Frontier, I thought about it. The answer to this problem is...the machine."

"Machine?" Ram was a little confused. However, looking at Valed's confident look, it seemed that there was a way, and he felt relieved.

"Let's talk about this kind of thing later. Now our mission is to fight." Vared said this, while also looking up at the direction of the city wall - where the soldiers and generals led by the Prince of the Border became more and more panicked.

"Damn it, damn!"

Even the so-called "elite troops" under Ak Bieber seemed a little overwhelmed when facing the army of undead. Under the attack of the tomb guards, most of the city walls had been declared to fall. More than two thousand ancient tomb guards firmly guarded the dozens of city climbing points on this wall and the twenty towers they captured. At the same time, they also sealed the steps where the prince of the border led reinforcements to slaughter the remaining enemies on the walls.

When facing an enemy with absolute advantage, the soldiers who remained at the city wall completely lost their fighting spirit. Some directly threw down their weapons and fell from the four-meter-high city wall. Even if they fell half dead, they were unwilling to continue fighting with the undead.

The most tragic place in the battle was the city tower guard post closest to the city gate and two stairs. The stairs had long been leveled by magic. The stairs were covered with a thick layer of corpses. The undead occupied the upper half, while humans lived in the lower floor. The middle part of the battle between the two sides, the dead bones and dead bodies had piled up nearly one meter high.

The fierce siege continued until the evening. Even the undead army, known for its endurance and long-lasting combat capabilities, had to change a wave of troops - the ancient tomb guard armor that had fought for more than ten hours in a row broke, and the weapons were all over the place. The shield was broken into several pieces, and the bones also had many broken parts.

Therefore, with Valed's calm and excellent dispatch, these soldiers were replaced in batches. At eight o'clock in the evening, a new army of undead was fighting on the city wall.

When the undead army changed its troops once, the soldiers led by the Border Prince had been replaced for fifteen or six times. In the end, the corpses were blood flowing all over the field. The debris of the militia and feudal recruitment were almost at a loss. Only those more elite professional mercenaries and the personal guards of the Border Prince were still struggling to support it. However, no one knew how long this support could last.

Ak Bieber also picked up his weapons and fought on the front line - his sword, dagger and shield were all broken. At this moment, he was holding a spear that was picked up from the ground, next to a corpse, and was stained with blood. He stared at the opposite side, imagining: "If any big man could come, I would stab him with a spear to let him know that he was powerful." His chest was so violently undulating, his breathing and sweating were covered with. The clothes stuck to him told him that this idea seemed unreliable.

And at this moment, a shrill shout of "The city is broken!" came over, making Ak Bieber feel dizzy.

"Who did you shout?! It's a death sentence to disrupt the morale of the army!" Ak shouted loudly in anger, and at the same time he turned his head subconsciously and looked at it. Then he felt his heart and courage breaking! The city gate - made of a small amount of mitral mixed with cooked copper, with countless defensive magic barriers attached to it. The city gate that can be called solid is actually broken!

"What's going on?!"

Ake had just asked this question, and then he was fleeing by the wailing soldiers who fled in a panic. If he could walk over and carefully identify the smoke and black powder at the city gate, he would know how the other party broke the door.

It has been said before that Sylvania has a tradition of sending new undeads to the front line to test their performance. In fact, Vared, to be precise, has such new undeads in the support force of the Southern Military Region.

This bone is hard enough to attack the enemy as a mace, with a body like a snake, an action like an earthworm, and a bone can be retracted, creating a powerful push. It was originally planned to drill into the ground, and then suddenly appeared in the middle of the enemy to launch a surprise attack to create chaos.

However, this time, these undead who were good at digging tunnels were given another mission by Valed.

He commanded these skeleton snakes. At the most intense time of the war, the army led by the border prince focused all his attention on the siege tower of the undead. When he had no time to distract himself, he dug out an authentic tunnel that led directly to the city gate.

Because the skeleton snakes acted very quickly and were very hidden. In addition, the other party focused their attention elsewhere. Therefore, their actions were not discovered and were completed very smoothly.

After completing all this, a group of skeleton soldiers carrying the skeletons seized from the Principality of Ivy entered the tunnel, and piled up hundreds of kilograms of skeletons at the end of the tunnel. Then there was a "boom..." sound. The city gate suddenly left, and several steel-cast latches were broken halfway.

Immediately afterwards, the undead army, who were pushing the siege and rushing up the city gate with the corners wrapped in iron. It was not until this time that the soldiers led by the Prince of the Border realized something was wrong. They tried to seal it with stones and support it with wood. Some even blocked the gate directly with their bodies. But it was too late...

On April 9, 2329, the Empire calendar, Edraus was finally defeated.

Vared von Castein, his brotherhood members, his vampire officers, and his 50,000 undead army, after a day and night of continuous attack, he relied on magic and black gunpowder, the rigid undead army, and the insidious poisonous scheme to obtain the most important victory. In the end, Vared was full of confidence when he stood on the third floor of the lord's residence, which was scattered by the city's scattered soldiers and mobs, overlooking this slightly desolate city.

On the street, a large number of captive soldiers tied up like crabs were taken away by the dead in dejectedly. According to the habit at that time, they were handled separately through their identities. If they were temporary recruits, they would be let go. After all, their job was still a farmer. If they were professional soldiers or mercenaries, they would be killed unceremoniously.

"This city, and the entire border prince's lord, are all mine."

Although his tone was plain, the subordinates around him could still hear the excitement in the heart of the future Earl of Castein. As they privately said: "Whenever they look at the leader, they can feel the burning flames in his eyes."

"I decided to rebuild the city, build roads, improve traffic, and encourage farming. I will also spread my policies throughout the border prince's leadership. I will let this area recuperate and prosper gradually. I will let the people live and work in peace, let the population grow, and let us have more... undead soldiers."

Vared turned around, looked at the subordinates, and asked, "Would you like to help me?"

"Of course, my leader." Ram, who stood next to Valed, first lowered his head and knelt on one knee: "I am willing to give you all my strength for you."

Valed smiled, and knew that the vows the adjutant said were not ordinary. It usually only said when the relationship between the master and the slave was formally confirmed. Usually, a reserve count would receive such allegiance only when he truly inherited the title.

But now it seems that he is lucky... or more capable than his predecessors. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
