The pioneer general Galba kept urging the Moro monster under his feet to speed up his running speed with the long whip in his hand. He couldn't wait to immediately arrive at Hahodell, the legendary barrier fortress.

Since the beginning of the heroic calendar, this fortress built by the Hero King has been a barrier for the demon army to land on the western front of the Northern Continent.

Countless demon warriors fell outside the strong fortress, causing the demons' long-cherished wish to return to the continent to fail again and again.

However, this time it's different.

The king of Ningal betrayed his compatriots and allowed the demons to enter the inland areas with great success.

There is no obstacle from human army along the way, and without those meaningless wars of attrition, it is impossible for the barriers and fortresses to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of troops.

"General, we're at the Canyon of Songs!"

The scouts flying in the sky brought back exciting news - as long as they crossed this narrow hilly area, Hahodell was close to him.

"General..." The accompanying demon priest Sharin suddenly approached Galba; "Someone is using ranged spells to peek at us."

"Peeling? Humph, only those who can do such things are the timid humans. Let them do it, we will win steadily, no matter whether it is combat power or quantity, so don't worry."

"But..." Shalin knew of course that the human defenders of Hahodelne could not resist the vanguard troops, but she was worried that it was not humans, but the Dark Night Priestess who had entered the Northern Continent.

If... if she was in Hahodel, then no matter how strong the vanguard troops were, they would be hit hard.

A war priest with a dual-held artifact, a supreme priest who can directly summon gods to participate in the war, cannot be defeated by relying solely on a large number of troops.

You should know that the power of God is absolute in Anesia, and even as powerful as the dragon clan still cannot resist it.

Moreover, the last time Emerin's divine appearance made the inner tremors of all those who saw the mysterious ancient dragon unable to be eradicated.

Whether it is humans or demons.

"No, priestess. According to the latest news from the escort, the night priestess you are worried about is heading to Shandu, thousands of miles away to attend a peace meeting held by mankind. It is impossible for us to appear in Hahodr, this barrier fortress, we are sure to eat."

Galba was not the kind of stupid fool commander, he had already inquired, and the Dark Night High Priest who made the high-level priests scared him was not in Shandu.

The spies sent into Hahodr early even found out the preferences of the human lords, and of course they also figured out the distribution of troops early.

In order to ensure the peace conference and to draw the troops on the border, King Shandu must be a fool. How could he withdraw from the border garrison under the current situation?

but……

Hahodell has not had magic information back for two days. Could it be that he was discovered?

This is unlikely. There are three high-level priests in the city, and the human mage is not strong enough to kill three demon priests at the same time.

"General?" Seeing Galba in a daze, the Salin swears a soft reminder; "It's already reached the Canyon of Songs, should I order an attack?"

"Ah, that's right..." Galba realized that his army was approaching the outer periphery of the canyon. He stood up from the beast and shouted loudly to the soldiers around him. "Charge, demon warriors! The tiny humans cannot resist our steps at all. Go forward! Go forward! Try to seize Hahodell before the Northern Alliance!!"

As the trumpeters sounded the trumpet of attack, the vanguards who had just destroyed Freric were ready to enter the next battle, and the giant Moro beast was raising the dust and advancing towards the narrow valley road ahead.

*********************************************

The narrow and sloping terrain of the Holy Song Canyon makes it the best position for Hahodell to resist the demons, and the towering hills on both sides cannot be climbed by the demons. The geographical advantage can also allow human bows and arrows to easily shoot to the enemy with the wind.

This has always been the front line of humans fighting against the demons and the last line of defense.

More than 10,000 garrison troops stayed in the ancient fortress, quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Even without a scout report, the shocking footsteps had already told the human soldiers who had been waiting here for a long time that the enemy was approaching.

"Dean Batuya, how, how many enemy troops have you observed?"

In the command tower at the highest point of the Heroes Castle in the Singing Canyon, the young lord Aliche anxiously waited for Dean Fanue to use Hawkeye to observe the distance to repay the enemy situation he saw.

"The situation is not very good. The number of demons is three times that of our defenders. Moreover, I have not discovered the army of the Northern Alliance, which means that this army is just the vanguard of the enemy, and there are more enemies after them." Batuya, who had just finished Hawkeye, said uneasyly what he observed.

"What, triple?!" Alice couldn't continue to calm down.

Three times, the demons have always been better at melee combat than humans. These creatures are far better than humans in terms of their strength and their own magic. In the past, the only thing that could beat the demons was the human sea tactics, but now Hahodell's garrison was recruited by the king's secret order. With only more than 10,000 garrisons on hand, it was extremely difficult to resist the attack of the demon vanguard troops. It was impossible, and it was impossible to win.

Batuya also knows that the current situation is not conducive to the human side.

Like elves, the demons are born with magic. Now that magic is gradually depleted and humans are gradually losing their magic power, there is no doubt that the demons will achieve an overwhelming victory.

The key is whether Hahodell can withstand the attack of the demons before the reinforcements arrive, and defend this last barrier before the Northern Alliance and the real demon army arrive.

"Duke Valesi, I decided to lead the Golden Tree Knights to fight." The Knight Kalan pulled out the "Golden Tree Light" long sword representing honor at his waist and decided to defend Hahodel to the death.

"Hey? But the number of enemies..." Aliche of course was willing to lead the army to fight. He was just a nobleman, and had never held any military posts and had no idea how to lead troops to fight.

However, the number of demons is far three times that of our own, and this battle cannot be fought at all.

"There is no way, we can't hide in the castle and wait for the enemy's troops to come to the city. Using the favorable terrain, we can still give the enemy a certain blow. I believe..." Before the knight finished speaking, Roland, who had been leaning in the corner, walked out of the shadow.

Her appearance immediately made the people in the room nervous.

"I'll go."

"You?" Alisha, Batuya, Kalan, and Shadlar, the Grand Priest of Light who had not spoken, all exclaimed.

"Since I stayed, of course I want to help you resist the demons, otherwise why should I disobey Rafa?"

Knowing that the undead is more capable of fighting against the demons than humans, no one refuses Roland's proposal.

In the courtyard full of soldiers, Roland began to sing the spell to summon the mount.

After a lightly dazzling red light flashed, the dream demon emitting a large amount of cold air attracted everyone's attention while appearing.

Whether it was Hahodel's soldiers, Fanue's wizards, the knights of the Golden Tree or the priests of the Church of Light, they stared at the nightmare with the appearance of a unicorn.

"Look, it's a nightmare."

"Is that just it, the undead who said he wanted to stay in Hahodell to help us fight against the demons?"

People were talking in a low voice, watching the thin female undead walk to the strong fortress gate with awe and fear.

"Knight Roland!!"

Princess Ania pushed away the soldiers who were watching the nightmare and called on the undead who was about to go to the battlefield.

"Princess……"

Roland was a little surprised that this princess was actually in the Canyon of Songs. Didn’t she leave Hahodell a day ago and head to the King of Shandu Sercien?

"This is for you." Handing the bracelet woven with lucky straw, Ania grabbed Roland's cloak with concern.

"Are you going to fight the demons?"

Looking at the lucky bracelet representing peace in his hand, the worry in the human girl's eyes made Roland's already cold heart not only feel a hint of warmth.

"The number of demons far exceeds that of Hahodel's garrison. This is a war without victory. If the undead also participates in the war, the damage can be minimized and it can also delay it as much as possible." Yes, for the undead, there is no physical death, only the destruction of the soul.

If the undead helps, the battle time can be delayed until reinforcements arrive.

As long as Shandu and the arrival of the coalition of human beings, Hahodell will become a real barrier, just like the inbreakable fortress she once fought for.

"Why do you want to help humans as a dead person?" Why can this dead person say these words so calmly? Isn't she a dead person? Shouldn't she be jealous of all life?

Why……

This is a doubt that Ania and everyone have never asked.

"Because... I was once a human being, I knew the pain of the destruction of the home and the separation of my loved ones. Because I am the undead, I know the value of life. It is precisely because I don't want more lives to disappear that I stayed, stayed in this place where I had fought and made me fall into the abyss of pain forever. You shouldn't stay here, Your Highness, the battlefield is not suitable for you." Holding the lucky grass on your left hand, Roland pulled the reins violently, and the red nightmare made a terrifying roar, then spread out four hooves, jumped over the high stone wall, and ran wildly in the direction where the enemy was about to appear.

"I can't believe that there is such a dead soul..."

Amid the soldiers' discussions, the black armored undead riding her nightmare gradually disappeared from people's sight.
