Netizens upload chapters Chapter 14 The inheritance of the king Chapter 8 The danger of the alliance(1/2)
.Because of two long sleeps, the black dragon cannot feel the passage of time.
In fact, the Black Dragon stayed in the space established by Cheroman just for two years.
In addition, they traveled through several planes, and the aversive time passed, making the material plane three years and three
In just three years, it was just a blink of an eye in the eternity of the undead creatures and their lives, but it was a drastic change for the situation on the mainland.
The alliance perished.
As early as the fall of the alliance capital, List, the alliance had already been in name only. More than a dozen principalities in the south of the alliance, led by Serin, did not even have the ability to protect themselves.
It was only within the empire that the struggle between imperial power and divine power, coupled with the restraint of some people with ulterior motives, that these southern principalities could survive.
No matter how bloody the power struggle is, there will always be a day when it ends. The hundreds of thousands of imperial troops are waiting for the battle, not some people with ulterior motives can restrain them for a long time. After two and a half years of truce, the shocking war drums sounded again.
Originally, the road from Lister to Serin City was a straightforward transportation route, but after Lister fell, Serin City chose a dangerous place on each other's main roads and built a fortress.
With the power of a city, it is undoubtedly a dream to build a fortress that resists hundreds of thousands of imperial troops in a short period of time.
Even the Nai Tu family in Serin City did not invest much energy on it.
The purpose of this is mainly to show a stance of resistance to aggression in order to win the support of the rest of the rear principalities.
However, this situation completely changed after the addition of more than a dozen Dark Mages.
An unprecedented fortress, even more majestic than the Stone City on the Grand Canyon of Colorado, was built in the shortest time.
The fortress is backed by the Kiev leadership and side by side by the Sein River, overlooking the entire Sein Plain.
The city wall is ten meters high and eight meters thick. It is made of a whole piece of large bluestone, and it is supported by permanent solidification technology, which can withstand the impact of 600 kilograms of trenchers.
The fortress can also stockpile 30,000 troops, and store enough food and grass for 30,000 people to eat for two years.
It took only half a year to build such a fortress. This magical construction speed is simply a miracle in the history of mainland architecture.
This credit belongs entirely to the dozen dark magicians who joined later.
These wizards claiming to be from the gangster tribe took over the construction of the fortress with the warrant of the lord of Serin City, and then drove out all the workers as soon as possible. A total of 20,000 workers were transferred from the construction site and joined the logistics department to transport supplies.
When everyone was puzzled by this order, night fell.
So under the cold moonlight, 20,000 workers saw a scene, thousands of scenes that they would never forget in their lives, and countless skeletons.
Each skeleton was holding a large bluestone brick. He kept silent and neatly directed the dark mages along the banks of the Serin River and drove into the construction site continuously.
The skeletons' empty eyes flashed with blue fires, like ghost fires in the night. In this way, ghost fires gathered into rivers and continued to the distance that were invisible to the naked eye.
Everyone was shocked and stunned.
Fortunately, the Reeves Alliance has always had a tradition of using the Immortal Skeleton as cannon fodder, so these people will not be scared and collapsed.
Whether it is used as cannon fodder or as a worker, as long as it is not an enemy of mankind, allies are willing to accept it.
Even if some people are puzzled, why can only a dozen dark magicians control tens of thousands of skeletons? When they think of their gangsters, they feel relieved.
Many people know that the gangster clan has a wealth of dark magicians. The destruction of the gangster clan's settlement has long been spread all over the world. Perhaps there are more gangster clan's dark magicians hiding in the dark.
So in this way, the undead appeared in front of civilians on a large scale for the first time, but was naturally accepted because they acted as workers.
As long as it is humans, they are unwilling to desecrate the dead, but if they can tolerate the appearance of undead creatures on the battlefield, they can naturally tolerate them on the construction site. As long as these undead creatures are controlled by humans...
Because of the large-scale use of immortal skeletons as the main force of construction, the fortress is built with very fast speed, exhausted and extremely powerful immortal skeletons. One can stand up to five strong workers, and with unified command, they can do many things that humans cannot do.
Undead creatures are responsible for building and humans are responsible for transporting supplies. A majestic fortress stands on the banks of the Serin River in the shortest time.
After the fortress was completed, the skeletons collectively came to the wilderness in front of the fortress.
They dug pits in front of human workers in front of everyone. Under the gray finger bones, the fertile soil moistened by the river by the Serin River was worse than tofu, and they were dug up in a short while.
Finally, the skeletons dug another big trench and brought the water from the Serin River into this place, and the field suddenly turned into a swamp.
On one side, it is surrounded by mountains, on the other side, and it turns into a swamp. The terrain of the fortress is finally easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The next day, the undead creatures collectively evacuated the fortress under the command of the gangster mage. Half a month later, the alliance army advanced into the fortress and took over the defense here.
Under such incredible construction speed and unimaginable construction workers, the swaying principalities in the south finally made up their minds and formed a southern resistance alliance to jointly fight against the invasion of the empire.
Because many people now know that after the destruction of the Natural Temple, the mysterious and powerful gangster magicians still stood firmly on their side.
In fact, the allied nobles had no choice. They were all on the list of heresy in the Church of Light, and if they did not resist, they would have a dead end.
The reason why they were swaying before was just because they could not see hope.
Now someone has finally stood up. Judging from the speed of the fortress construction, the strength of the gangster tribe has not suffered much loss. It can completely replace the Temple of Natural God and become the spokesperson for the high-end power of the alliance.
In the past, there were natural god waiters, Druid transformed into a legion, and elder token legion.
The biggest function of these high-end forces is symbolic. They cannot charge and fight with each other like ordinary soldiers.
Only when the opponent's high-end forces are deployed or when the battle is at a critical moment will they be used to suppress them. In the end, war still depends on ordinary warriors.
But after the fall of List and the temple of nature was burned, the high-end power of the alliance disappeared, causing most people to lose confidence in resistance.
The Knights of Light and the Knights of the Church of Light are like an invincible sword. No matter how strong the fortress is, no matter how majestic the city is, they cannot stop their advance.
The only thing that can stop them is the defense line composed of the same high-end troops.
The emergence of the gangster mage allowed the allied nobles to see the possibility of forming a high-end defense line.
The fortress is named Eternal, meaning an immortal soul.
Half a year after the completion of the Eternal Fortress, the empire finally calmed down after a series of bloody and cruel power struggles.
The huge war beast finally moved again, stepping in front of the eternal fortress that must be passed south.
The one who commanded the imperial army this time was the Imperial Prince Aristofilik.
He is the next person in power in the empire and is also the highest symbol of the imperial power of the empire today.
His genius and wise prince, when he was fourteen years old, began to contact the various nobles who were dissatisfied with the growing strength of the Church of Light in the empire through his mother's family. They united them behind them, and continued to accumulate strength, and eventually forced the Church of Light to begin to make concessions.
While the fall of the alliance capital, List, His Royal Highness, who had been tolerant for a long time, finally launched the campaign, and under a series of urgency, forced the Church of Light to share all secular powers in the three major dioceses in the south.
In order to avoid greater contributions from the Church of Light, he even suspended the pace of invasion by the imperial army.
In the end, he placed himself under house arrest and took charge of the empire as a prince.
Now, he needed a great contribution to help him ascend to the throne of the emperor, so he came to the front line and served as the commander of the imperial army.
No credit can be greater than conquering the entire alliance.
Aristo Fili wins his talent and strategy, and is both civil and military, and can be regarded as a wise master of his generation.
He had no experience in commanding military affairs, but he was not arbitrary. In name, he was the commander of the imperial army, but he placed the responsibility of commanding the army on the original commander of the imperial army, the Grand Marshal Viarens, and followed him to study military affairs with the greatest enthusiasm, and at the same time gave Viarens the greatest support.
The clouds of war once again enveloped the sky of the alliance, but this time, the Knights of Light and the Knights of Angels refused the military's orders and continued to garrison in Liste.
This is a matter of course. Aristofilic did not force it. As long as the Church of Light does not drag him down, he will be satisfied.
In the combat plan of the General Staff Headquarters, the Knights of Light had long been removed from the list.
No one believes that the alliance that has been defeated and dispersed can stop the advance of the imperial army by relying on several scattered priests in the south.
Even the Haitu family in Serin City did not have the slightest confidence.
If it weren't for the Light Church's attitude towards killing all heresies, and also having some luck and unwilling to give up its existing power, these people would have surrendered long ago.
It was in this case that the imperial army drove to the Eternal Fortress.
As soon as he saw the situation outside the fortress, Viarons knew that the fortress in front of him was not one or two days, and it would take at least four or five days.
On one side, it was surrounded by mountains, on the other side, it was dug into a swamp, leaving only the narrow side of the south, and the army could not expand at all.
Now we need to wait for the civil servants and magicians to fill the swamp with magic and soil. This will take about two or three days.
As long as the swamp is filled, with the current numerical advantage of the imperial army, it will be no problem to win this fort within two days.
A large number of civilians were mobilized and rushed to the swamp with sandbags. However, many gray hand bones stretched out from the mud and pulled countless civilians into the swamp. At the same time, more than a dozen dark mages in black robes also appeared on the walls of the fortress at the right time.
More than a hundred people were lost in one go, and the rest were scared, and a large number of civilians hesitated.
If you die in battle with an undead creature, you can return to the arms of the Supreme God, but if you are dragged into the swamp by an undead creature, you will fall into the abyss of hell forever and die without a place to bury it.
The civil servants began to slacke in work, and the Grand Marshal Viarens did not want to violently drive away the civil servants when facing such a small fortress, and finally ordered the magician to continue filling the swamp.
Without the assistance of the civil servants, the magicians spent a lot of time and magic. It took six days to fill the swamp, and most magicians exhausted their magic.
Viarons decided to give the magicians a day off and attack the fortress tomorrow.
With his powerful troops, Marshal Viarens disdained to even feint attack and harass him.
When the dinner started in the evening, the logistics general came to report that the supply troops that should have arrived today had not arrived yet, and the army had three days left for food and grass.
Just a few hours late, Viarons didn't care and asked the troops to continue to rest. Finally, after nightfall, the heavy sound of horse hooves woke him up.
The sound of shouts, screams, and the sound of weapons fighting sounded through the night sky. The enemy was not visible in the dark, and the emperor's troops could only fight on their own.
The magician group exhausted the magic, leaving only a small number of magicians. It did not work at all in this chaotic scene.
The chaos lasted throughout the night. After the sky brightened, Viarons saw the enemy clearly. It was a heavy armored cavalry regiment wearing black heavy armor. The number was about 5,000 people, but they rushed in and out of the camp of the 300,000 imperial army. They were full of blood.
The leader was a general who was covered with heavy armor and holding a machete with a tall guard holding a wolf-tooth stick and kept screaming loudly.
Except for the guard who screamed loudly, the entire cavalry regiment did not make any sound, and was as silent as if they were all mute.
To be continued...
