Soul space, conference hall.

Cumberland pointed to the holographic map floating in mid-air: "The hilly area 15 kilometers east of the Holy Acropolis, where we dug three eight kilometers long trenches, and arranged a large number of traps and troops. It is to stop the advance of the necromantic army."

"Just now, the first contact between the frontline troops and the vanguard of the undead."

Todd looked at the map and nodded to Cumberland.

Cumberland said: "I now turn the battlefield screen out, the image comes from a Valkyrie performing a bombing mission."

Soon, the map slowly disappeared, and a huge screen slowly rose from the center of the conference table.

The screen lights up, and the blue sky and a griffon underneath you first come into view. This is the first-person perspective of a Valkyrie riding on a griffon.

Her eyes had a panoramic view of the entire war situation and sent it all to Todd's soul space.

In the picture, in the distance of the viewing angle, huge black waves appear from the horizon, rushing toward the defense line.

Corpses possessed by black parasites, humans, cows and horses, cats and dogs, mice...everything.

They are like maggots attracted by flesh and blood.

They have no formation, no tactics, and their only consciousness is forward impact.

Right above the hills, the defensive troops composed of Holy Acropolis soldiers and Holy Clerical Army used earth and rocks and fences to form a towering and strong temporary fortress.

The undead, like sea water, rushed to the hilly defense line. The soldiers of the Holy Acropolis in the defensive troops appeared a lot of commotion. The forefront troops appeared a small-scale rout, but under the control of the supervising team, the rout was stopped.

Cumberland said dissatisfied: "The army of the Holy Acropolis has been slack for too long."

Todd shook his head: "In the face of enemies beyond imagination, no army can be fearless."

As Cumberland looked at the screen, he said: "The dead soul has reached the first trench."

Thousands of dead spirits, with black parasites on their bodies, fell madly into the first trench.

The roar of human beings, the barking of cats and dogs, and the crowing of cows and horses, echoed and amplified in this trench nearly ten meters deep, sounding like the sound of **** from the bottom of the earth.

The horn sounded from the barracks on the hills.

Soon, an arrow burning with flames crossed the sky and shot straight into the first trench, igniting the wood and oil placed inside.

The soaring fire ignited in an instant, and the crackling sound of bones and flesh and blood under the high temperature resounded throughout the battlefield.

The impact of the undead army was firmly blocked by the fire outside the trench.

Seeing this scene, Todd and Cumberland not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but frowned.

Todd asked Cumberland, "You just said that this is the vanguard of the undead."

"The undead from the direction of Tyrol City, after sweeping the surrounding countries, has gradually expanded into an army that cannot be calculated by numbers."

"This army is mainly divided into three roads, all the way to the east, towards the direction of the desert; all the way to the north, towards the direction of the snow-capped mountains; and finally all the way to the west, towards us. Among them, the western road is the largest in number."

"And these undead who are currently attacking the Holy Acropolis are the smallest of the forefront of this army."

"The reason why we chose to fight outside the city this time is also to allow our army to adapt to the undead's offensive mode and find a corresponding method."

While Cumberland spoke, the undead army was still rushing towards the sea of ​​flames, and there was no fear of flames at all.

The piles of corpses in the trenches grew higher and higher, and soon surpassed the height of the trenches.

The undead behind, stepped on the burning corpses in the trenches and rushed directly across the first line of defense.

Soon, the second horn sounded.

The owner of the first perspective, the Valkyrie, put her hand in front of her mouth and made a whistle.

The griffin under her seat flapped its wings and rushed to the sky. After reaching a height, it swooped towards the ground.

The army of the undead was getting closer and closer to the Griffin, so close that it could even see the parasite limbs that were twisting on the corpse.

The Valkyrie suddenly pulled the lock on the Griffin's back, and dozens of spore bombs fell to the ground in the net pocket under the Griffon's belly.

After patted the Griffin on the head hard, the Valkyrie then blew her whistle hard.

The Griffon flapped its wings vigorously, and the whole body was raised several meters in an instant, flying straight toward the cloud.

Behind him, accompanied by a deafening explosion, a huge shock wave shook the Valkyrie and her mount.

After a few seconds, the Valkyrie turned her head and looked behind her. A huge ball of fire rose from the ground, and her limbs and blood were washing the ground like a torrential rain.

The entire battlefield fell into deathly silence.

Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, the undead army moved again.

The reef can block the waves, but it cannot block the entire sea.

The black sea of ​​parasites passed through the smoke and flames, and continued to rush towards the hilly position.

The Valkyrie from the first perspective, hurriedly drove her mount towards the rear. When she refilled the spore bomb and flew back to the front line, the undead had already filled the second trench and was rushing towards the last trench.

Arrows, falling rocks, and oil tanks are constantly being thrown out from the hilly positions, just like stones thrown into a pond, occasionally causing small ripples, but to no avail.

Todd and Cumberland looked at each other. The former waved his hand and issued an order to "retreat the whole army" in the soul space.

Soon, the hilly position sounded the retreat horn.

While the defenders began to set firewood and oil in front of the camp, they began to retreat to the Holy Guard in an organized manner.

The master of the perspective-the Valkyrie, looking at the undead not far away, did not immediately fly back to the camp, but rode a griffon to rush forward again, seemingly intending to throw the second loaded spores before leaving. .

When she flew over the corpse group, just as she was about to raise her height and prepare to drop the bomb, a black cloud floated in the distant sky.

Countless birds that have died are clustered together in the air with their wings flapped, and black parasites emerge from their eye sockets, mouths, and chests, controlling their every move.

These corpse birds quickly surrounded the Valkyrie and her griffin, and began to launch rounds of attacks.

The Griffon let out a mournful cry, and its broken body fell feebly towards the earth.

The Valkyrie was thrown to the ground, and the corpses not far away found her and rushed towards her howling.

The Valkyrie wiped the blood dripping from her forehead~lightnovelpub.net~ Then she took off the bow, hitched an arrow, and nailed the undead running in front to the ground with one arrow.

The second arrow, the third arrow, the Valkyrie's continuous arrow, made it impossible for any undead to get close to her within a range of ten meters.

When she ran out of one pot of arrows, she took the second pot of arrows from the back of the Griffin.

When she was about to draw the bow, a black parasite in her field of vision climbed onto the back of her hand and penetrated into her skin for an instant.

A curse, a sigh.

The Valkyrie turned her bow and arrow to the spore bombs scattered beside the Griffin.

Shot it with one arrow.

The image disappeared, leaving nothing but a blank.

Cumberland looked at all this solemnly, without speaking for a long while.

Todd closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, and finally said: "Notify the Holy Acropolis, shrink the defense circle, organize the supplies, and prepare to retreat."
