"Your army is being surrounded and killed."
Henry replied bluntly. He pointed to the other side of the battlefield without turning his head. The billowing smoke below Xillias City meant that a large army was charging towards them.
"I like the way he talks," Chris sighed. "Saville only has that deadpan expression on his face every day. It's better not to talk than not."
Henry felt that this fellow was a chatterbox, but he had nothing else to do. The annihilation of the undead army was basically a foregone conclusion. The cavalry's third charge had ended, and the infantry formation had firmly resisted the undead's assault. The few magicians among them had also released a few powerful spells to stabilize the crumbling defensive line. At the same time, a cavalry unit of about a thousand soldiers appeared in the distance and charged straight at the back of the undead army!
That was enough information. But just now, Chris seemed to have inadvertently revealed something that Henry remembered in his heart. "Acting?"
Could it be that this war was an act?
For who?
"You lost so many soldiers just to create an illusion?"
Henry suddenly asked. Chris was looking at Xillias from afar, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Illusion?
Yes, that's the purpose of Saville's council, but I don't see any use in it. "
"Then when the entire army is wiped out, where will you go?"
"That's also my question. But now, I have an answer."
Chris turned his head and said, "I'll go take a look inside. To be honest, I'm very curious about the civilization of this plane."
"Are all magicians like this?"
"Maybe, maybe not."
Chris shrugged and walked to the side. He pointed at Xillias and patted Henry's shoulder. "How is it?
Duke Myers? "
"Price?"
"You said reward?
Oh, that's what I should do. "Chris reached into the space ring and took out a black ring." How about this? "
Harry was a little dumbfounded as he stared at the man before him. The 'price' that he mentioned was what he had to pay … Because in Harry's opinion, he should pay something to make this man with unfathomable strength stop thinking about destroying a certain city and just go sightseeing. Who knew that Harry would think that he was asking for a reward …
To be honest, the communication between the nobles was sometimes too polite.

"Sir Lord, there's an urgent message!"
The soldier handed a letter to Mandy, who was testing the Vulcan Cannon on the training field in Oditore Castle.
The Vulcan Cannon's power was acceptable to Mandy. After all, it was mass-produced with the current military standard. It didn't require high precision. In Mandy's eyes, as long as it could fire, it didn't matter if it was a few hundred meters accurate.
This was not a modern war. In the era of cold weapons, this kind of weapon didn't require much precision. The enemy was right in front of them, and they could shoot with their eyes closed!
As a result of today's test firing, the mud walls summoned by Salia on the training ground were "ravaged" by the Vulcan Cannons and turned into pieces of debris. However, many people were slightly disappointed that the bullets landed irregularly 200 meters away. Even so, the massive power displayed by the Vulcan Cannons was enough to stun all the military officers in Oditore.
Was his lord a Heavenly God?
What the hell is this weapon?
Everyone had the same question in their hearts. The operation of this cannon was extremely simple. You just had to press on the chain of bullets, then turn the safety switch, and turn the small crank on the side to direct the lethal firepower to any obstacle in front of you.
Basically, this thing could turn as many bullets as it could hit as many bullets as it could. As the operator, the troll warrior used his fastest speed to fire off two hundred bullets under many commands. From start to finish, it took less than five seconds. But this was also the flaw of this powerful weapon. There wasn't enough ammunition, and the consumption was too fast.
But the good news was that Gruul could separate the black crystals. As for Gasol … many people were still worried about this guy, so they could only let Gruul separate the black crystals for now. This job was a bit tiring, but the big guy had no complaints.
Progress was a little slow, and Mandy couldn't do anything about it. He could only wait until he could deal with the Caucasian Trolls under Gasol.
Mandy only saw a short sentence when he opened the letter in his hand. "Sith City is in danger!
Large scale undead siege! "
… …
"Level 1 combat readiness!"
Currently, almost all of the Empire's armies were gathered in Sistine City because the undead's attacks were mainly concentrated there. Sistine City was another major city of the Empire, so it was only natural that it would receive a lot of undead attacks. But all in all, these attacks were as harmless as Oditore's and didn't pose any threat at all.
But the military reports clearly showed that Sith City had suffered an unprecedented attack!
The subsequent reports proved this point. "The undead army in front of Siliath City has been completely wiped out. No new movements." "Sith City's reinforcements have mysteriously disappeared." "Pressure on Sibor has eased."
All of this indicated that the undead had suddenly shifted their focus of attack!
At this critical moment, Siliath City's reinforcements wouldn't be able to reach Sith City in a short period of time, because there was a forest between the imperial capital and Klimt's territory — the Klimt Forest!
This was the undead's main camp. Crossing this forest was as dangerous as courting death. In a forest, an army's attack power would plummet. If the reinforcements left Siliath City and took a detour, the famous city of Sith City would probably be in ruins by the time they reached it in a month!
Logically speaking, Sith City should be able to hold on for a long time. But unfortunately, at this critical moment, Count Jarl's army had gone to Siliath City first. The entire city was left with only a few city guards and the Light Church's warriors from Lembas.
The number of city guards couldn't even gather two reserve squads. If they all stood on the city walls, they wouldn't have any replacements after the Gargoyles' attack. What about the Light Church's army?
Merkel was still in Siliath City. Although the teleporter could send him to Siliath City, the city might not be able to hold on with just one top-tier master.
The next day, Henry sent a message: "Saville has gone to Sith City."
Although they were slightly puzzled as to how Henry had obtained such confidential and detailed information, the annotations on the information indicated that he was very confident about this information, and it was basically impossible for it to be fake. Therefore, after thinking about it, many people immediately made a decision: Send troops to the Sistine Chapel!
If there was news in the Empire that Oditore would go to support Sith City a year ago, everyone would probably laugh their heads off. But now, as the news spread throughout the Empire, everyone felt that this was their only hope.
Fort Pombo hadn't been attacked by the undead for a week. After Noda patrolled the borders of the territory with his scouts, he confirmed that all the undead in Oditore seemed to have gone to Sith City. So, he made a risky move: He took away eighty percent of the territory's forces!
Half of the Mage Squad was left in Fort Pombo to defend the city, while the rest cooperated with the human soldiers. They should be able to withstand the undead attack on a large scale. If there were any changes, Madam Vasaki would be able to return immediately to support the city.
Almost all the troll warriors, including Cullen trolls, Caucasian trolls, Forest trolls, and Cave trolls, were sent to battle. Madam Vasaki led the "Oditore Mage Squad" on the journey. The wyverns were equipped with matching saddles. Although they had only received training for less than a week, under the pressure of Carolina, the wyverns had obeyed all orders.
Thirty wyverns joined the fray, and each wyvern had a muscular forest troll on their back as a "cavalry". The wyvern cavalry didn't have the time to equip their sets of armor, so they could only rely on their bone armor to fight the undead head-on … However, many believed that the wyverns were much sturdier than the skeletons and zombies.
