On the front line, Elector Marius Leitdorf of Ivey personally supervised the battle and boosted the morale of the legions.
When the crowd saw the "Mad King" on the battlefield, he seemed like a different person. His usual gloomy temperament was swept away at this moment, replaced by a high-pitched and passionate imperial general and a brave and fearless lord.
The personal guards watched as the bloodthirsty wolf bats in mid-air dived towards Marius's position, but the "Mad King" remained unmoved. Still holding the rune sword, he shouted and roared, standing with his great swordsman.
Together.
The Aiwei soldiers who were inspired did not show any fear and faced the impact of the undead evil spirits head-on.
The next second, a swarm of zombies and terrifying bloodthirsty wolf bats crashed into the Imperial Allied Forces' position at the same time.
In an instant, blood spattered and broken limbs danced in the air.
The real massacre begins.
Several bloodthirsty wolf bats rushed around Marius, trying to capture the king and behead him, destroying the morale of the legions.
However, the morale of the imperial sword infantry inspired by Marius's courage was extremely high. Dozens of imperial swordsmen tightly protected Marius without any intention of retreating.
At the moment of the head-on collision, a dozen Imperial swordsmen around the Elector were knocked away by the powerful impact, and blood flew in the air.
However, after landing, the bloodthirsty wolf bat was quickly surrounded and killed by hundreds of imperial swordsmen and spearmen.
Marius even drew his sword and took the lead in the charge. Rune Fang cut off the wings of a wolf bat with one sword. After ducking sideways to avoid the monster's attack, he pierced the monster's chest from behind with another sword. The iron-blooded sword came from the front of the wolf bat's chest.
It was stabbed out, bringing with it rolling pieces of internal organs and thick black blood.
Stepping on the huge body of the wolf bat, Marius used all his strength to pull out his rune sword and roared loudly.
Seeing the lord fighting like a madman, the morale of the imperial soldiers was completely ignited. In less than a moment, hundreds of spearmen stabbed several wolf bats from all directions to their core.
On the dusty battlefield, Marius saw not far away, the Imperial Knights had begun to take action.
Karl Franz rode a tall royal war horse and inspected the Rick guards in front of him.
"We must unite..."
The young prince stood in front of the most elite knights in Reikland and delivered an impassioned speech, while Ludwig, the captain of the royal guard beside him, had a worried look on his face. He knew what Emperor Louis Bode was thinking, and the old emperor wanted to take advantage of this "
The "must-win" battle will enhance Karl's popularity and prestige in the empire. If during the battle, Karl can lead the Rick Guards to charge from the side and defeat the main force of the undead army in one fell swoop, then after the war, Karl Franz, as the heir to the throne, will
You will definitely gain a huge boost in prestige and will have more advantages in future elections.
However, Ludwig is worried that the current Karl cannot shoulder such an important task. Karl, who is young and has little actual combat experience, may be eloquent and has a way of pretending to be inspiring, but when it comes to real fighting, can he?
Self-preservation is hard to say.
The Undead War seems to be a one-sided situation. However, so far, no vampire has actually participated in the war. The only ones on the battlefield now are rotten corpses and a motley army of mortals. If he really encounters a vampire fighting in person, Ludwig is worried about what will happen in the future.
The young prince's current strength is simply unstoppable. Even the most elite gryphon knights are no match for the vampire.
Finally, the young and energetic Prince Karl Franz finished his passionate pre-war speech in front of all the soldiers. The Reik Guards shouted in unison.
The next moment, the battle flag was fluttering, and the armored war horses took steps and began to circle from the front and flanks of the battlefield.
Ludwig shouted loudly and drove his old horse to follow the little prince's pace.
After passing through the smoke-filled frontal battlefield, the little prince was full of confidence and full of vigor. His fiery red gilt cloak fluttered in the wind in front of the team, like a small sun, extremely dazzling.
"Damn it! Are you worried that vampires can't see you?"
Behind him, Ludwig cursed loudly.
Walking through the mud and dismembering corpses, Rick's guards kept approaching the battlefield.
At the same time, another ace of the Imperial Alliance - the Knights of the Sun - also began to take action.
Otto Berengar, the grand leader, held a golden spear and rushed to the front of the team with a stern expression.
The two knight troops almost simultaneously launched an outflank on the undead army from the left and right wings.
They keep accelerating.
A large swath of undead infantry flashed past the knights.
"For the Empire! Follow me and charge!"
Karl Franz was high-spirited and took the lead, shouting loudly.
He raised his sword.
In the last 100 meters, the armored horses charged at full speed.
The knights of the Knights behind him leveled their lances, pointed them at the side and rear of the undead, and charged away heroically.
Like an iron wall, it rolled up dust all over the sky. In an instant, the war horses galloped, knocking away and crushing the undead soldiers in the front row.
The flesh and blood body was crushed under the iron hoof, and the intensive sound of bones being crushed could be heard in the ears.
The victory made Karl even more excited. He raised his sword and was about to give orders again, but found a huge shadow passing above his head.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw a scene that stunned him.
A three-meter-tall monster was falling from the sky. Before he could see the enemy's face clearly, the monster slapped him away.
A scream was heard, and the emperor's only son, Prince Karl Franz, was slapped and flew out.
The war horse died on the spot, and Karl fell to the ground. The strong armor protected him from being killed in one blow. But the severe pain from his chest made Karl instinctively realize that something was wrong, and he vomited in pain.
Blood and water, watching the monster approaching, the sword in his hand was knocked away without knowing where.
In despair, a tall man's figure flew over.
"Carl! Get behind me!"
Ludwig shouted loudly, raised his heavy sword with both hands, and fought with the terrifying monster.
Only then did Carl see what the monster looked like.
It was a bloodthirsty ghost with a demon head, sharp claws, and a body covered with muscles and blood vessels.
The terrifying power was enough to easily crush an adult human male. So for a while, no one dared to step forward to stop it.
However, Ludwig faced this terrifying monster alone.
"Protect the prince!"
He yelled again.
Then, he turned around and fought against the ghost.
The man held his sword across his chest to block the monster's violent blow.
The powerful impact knocked Ludwig back repeatedly.
But he quickly adjusted his posture and dodged sideways just before the monster's claws swung. At the same time, he swung the big sword in his hand smoothly.
The sword blade grazed the skin on the monster's forehead, leaving a shallow wound.
The injured bloodthirsty ghost let out an astonishing roar and pounced on the man again with a crushing force.
This time, Ludwig no longer flinched.
"Long live the Empire!"
The captain of the royal guard raised his long sword, lowered his body the moment the monster pounced, aimed at the monster's soft abdomen, and stabbed out with all his strength.
The heavy sword carried all the man's anger and strength, and pierced the abdomen of the bloodthirsty ghost.
However, Ludwig himself was also knocked down by the monster's powerful impact and gravity, and his whole body was crushed under the monster's heavy body. Fortunately, the fatal sword wound caused this terrifying bloodthirsty ghost to fall directly to the ground.
Sorry, lost combat effectiveness.
The monster fluttered on all fours and struggled, but the man held the sword tightly and nailed it to the ground.
"Die! Monster!"
Ludwig roared, used all his strength, and thrust the sword deeper, then flipped the hilt violently. The blade stirred in Tiangui's body, smashing the flesh and intestines, and the blood was dyed red like a spring.
