"It's about time."
Jenn gazed at the darkening sky and nodded. Then, he lifted his head and gazed ahead. On the coast, the endless Skeletons were advancing relentlessly. They weren't tired, bored, or fearful.
To them, their only goal was to advance, slaughter, and destroy.
"Are you ready, Grand Knight Montgomery?"
"Yes, Grand Knight Montgomery?"
Jenn stood on the city wall and gazed down. There was no one in Everwinter except for a few clergymen who were persistently defending the city wall.
However, it was apparent from their perspiration that they wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
"Flaming Sun Explosion!"
A Grand Priest raised the scepter in his hand and bellowed.
Along with his words, a gigantic light beam descended from the sky, striking the shore heavily.
Then, a circle of light filled with positive energy spread out in an instant.
The Undead Creatures within the range of the halo landed on the ground. In the blink of an eye, a huge gap was cleared on the densely packed coastline.
But after a short while, the cleared area was filled up by the Undead Creatures and continued to advance.
Looking at this scene, Montgomery's expression changed slightly. Upon hearing Jenn's question, he forced a smile and nodded.
"Yes, I'm ready, Sir Overlord … But will it be fine?"
"Everything has to be risky. And now … Grand Knight Montgomery, pardon my frankness. Even if we fail, you have nothing to worry about."
"You're right."
Montgomery nodded in agreement to Jenn's words.
In the past few days, the garrison troops on the Chaos Coast had been almost completely withdrawn by Zayen.
Now, only the Angel Blade Legion under Montgomery was still struggling to hold on.
Fortunately, Jenn had secretly sent Goblins to take over the evacuated areas. If not, it wouldn't have been easy for them to resist until now.
But now, they had reached their limit.
"Okay, get ready … light the fire and blow the horn!"
At this thought, Montgomery took in a deep breath and calmed himself down. Then, he immediately issued an order.
Upon hearing Montgomery's command, the messenger standing beside him hurriedly picked up a torch and lit it in the brazier beside him. As the flames surged, thick, white smoke rose into the air, appearing exceptionally eye-catching under the setting sun.
The clergies who were defending against the undead creatures on the city walls were surprised. But soon, they raised their arms and along with this movement, dazzling light pillars appeared out of thin air and bombarded the coast, instantly wiping out a large number of undead creatures that had reached the city gates. Then, they turned around without hesitation and retreated from the city walls, sprinting toward the rear.
"Everyone, evacuate immediately!!"
After saying that, Montgomery quickly turned around and left.
He knew very well how fast the Undead Creatures would attack once they lost the restraint of the Divine Power.
At this thought, Montgomery couldn't help but glance at Jenn. He wanted to leave a suicide squad to defend against the undead creatures, but Jenn told him that it wasn't necessary.
But Zayen told him that it was not necessary at all. They just needed to evacuate and leave the rest to him.
Jenn was sure that the undead creatures wouldn't be able to catch up to them. Even though Montgomery was dubious about Jenn's words, he had no choice but to believe it at this juncture.
Therefore, when Montgomery was assigning tasks to his subordinates, he specifically mentioned that they had to be resolute and resolute when retreating. They couldn't afford to be sloppy.
Apparently, the soldiers obeyed Montgomery's orders. After releasing the last of their magic spells, they quickly retreated without looking back. Not long after, the entire city wall was deserted and there wasn't a single person in sight.
However, it was a different scene outside the city walls.
Under the attack of the divine spell, the beach that had been cleared was once again filled with tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers in just a moment.
They let out horrifying screams and sprinted toward the tall city walls of Everwinter.
Without the threat of the magic spells, the Skeleton Soldiers weren't afraid of the Divine Light Curtain anymore. They rushed to the bottom of the city walls and climbed up to the top of the city walls in the blink of an eye.
Montgomery and his men had just left the city walls and were walking out of the inner city gate when they heard the roars of the Undead Creatures behind them.
Upon hearing the roars, Montgomery's heart sank, and he turned around hurriedly.
As expected, the Undead Creatures had climbed up the city walls and were attacking them rapidly!
"Sir Overlord, we have to think of a way. The Undead Creatures have climbed over the city walls. If this continues, no one will be able to escape!!"
What Montgomery said was the truth. The reason why Humans couldn't fight against the Undead Creatures wasn't only because of the difference in numbers, but also because of the difference in strength.
Even though the Undead Creatures looked foolish, their speed was comparable to the fastest warhorses.
On the battlefield, even the Cavalrymen couldn't outrun the Skeleton Soldiers of the lowest level.
Once they retreated, the Undead Creatures would definitely pounce on them like a pack of wolves and tear them into pieces.
That was why Montgomery requested for someone to stay behind and obstruct the Undead Creatures. If not, the Undead Creatures would catch up to them sooner or later.
Perhaps he and Jenn could easily escape from the encirclement of the Undead Creatures, but it didn't mean that the others could do the same!
"Don't worry, someone will take care of it."
Upon hearing Montgomery's words, Jenn swept a glance at the Undead Creatures that were occupying the city walls. His expression didn't change at all.
Although under the setting sun, the scene of the vast expanse of pale wriggling and swallowing the tall city walls was indeed frightening, in Zayen's eyes, it was nothing at all.
Upon hearing Jenn's reply, Montgomery was taken aback.
"Someone will take care of it?
Who? Haven't we already … "
Before Montgomery could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard a deep, thunderous explosion above his head.
When Montgomery lifted his head and gazed into the sky, he witnessed a scene that he had never expected to see.
Under Montgomery's gaze, nearly a hundred gigantic light beams that were dozens of meters wide shot out from the clouds, tearing a series of hair-raising cracks in the thick layer of clouds.
At the next moment, Montgomery witnessed the light beams descending from the sky and bombarding the city walls behind them.
In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.
Intense explosions and dazzling white radiance that almost devoured the entire world erupted in an instant. Not only that, but the ground couldn't withstand such a powerful force and cracked in an instant.
The tall city walls were blasted into scraps and not a single pebble was left behind.
After the dazzling radiance vanished entirely, Montgomery and his subordinates turned around and looked behind them.
Montgomery was bewildered. Behind him, the inner city of Everwinter had vanished entirely. What replaced it was a gigantic pit that was dozens of meters deep and had no end in sight.
Even the seawater was split apart by the powerful force. At that moment, the seawater gushed in and erupted into a violent white fog.
As for the Undead Creatures that chased after them, they were nowhere to be seen.
"This …"
Even though Montgomery was experienced and knowledgeable, he was still dumbstruck by the scene before him and could not react in time.
He had seen the power of Legendary spells before, but to Montgomery, the hundreds of light beams in front of him had almost surpassed the most terrifying Legendary spells in his memory.
Where did this power come from?
At this thought, Montgomery turned to the other side. Amidst the clouds, a Fortress that was as huge as a mountain gradually emerged under the radiance of the setting sun.
Montgomery stared blankly and revealed a helpless, bitter smile. He had forgotten that Rhode had a flying Sky Fortress.
Since it was a Fortress, it definitely had firepower.
On the other hand, it was darkest under the lamp and he had forgotten about it.
At the same time, Marcus, who was above the Chaos Sea, also saw the massive Fortress.
"W-What's that?!
Could it be that Coruncia is involved? "
Medes widened his eyes in astonishment at the looming shadow in the clouds. He didn't expect the enemy to possess such a powerful weapon. One must know that the previous attack had wiped out one-fifth of Medes's Undead Army. If it were to fire a few more shots, perhaps Medes would be left without an army.
"Damn the main plane!"
Marcus couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
If it were in the underworld, every war would involve at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Unlike the main plane, which was a small place, it was impossible for a war to break out.
If it were in the underworld … Forget it. Now isn't the time to talk about this.
"Madam Lilicia, what do you think we should do now?"
Upon hearing Marcus' question, Lilicia finally put down the wine glass in her hand and gazed at the Fortress with an amused expression. Then, she revealed a smile.
"It seems that little fellas can't hold it in any longer … Alright, Marcus. Let's attack according to plan."
