Chapter 326 The War Begins
The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.
Faced with such a terrifying energy aftermath, the entire city began to shake, and the orcs' terrified voices echoed in the air, mixed with fear and disbelief.
"What is this!"
"What happened? Am I trapped in an illusion? Otherwise, how could such a ridiculous thing happen!"
"God of the Orcs, this is not true. How could Skarn suddenly..."
"There was an attack from outer space. Why didn't Skarn's defensive magic circle react at all?"
This sudden change, like a thunderclap, directly broke the original calm in the city and overturned everyone's cognition.
They couldn't believe what they saw at all.
The people of the kingdom in the city, whether nobles or civilians, fell into unprecedented panic. They fled everywhere, looking for shelter, but in the face of this catastrophe, any shelter seemed so fragile.
This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
Natural disasters can be avoided, but man-made disasters will take the initiative to find the door.
In the huge dark vortex, with the sound of orderly footsteps, the tall undead horse came out first, with an undead leader who had reached the realm of demigod sitting on it, and then the death knights in black armor followed behind, rushing out in an orderly manner.
"Little ones, follow the order of our Lord and occupy this world!"
The undead leader raised his spear and roared: "There are no restrictions in this battle, you can kill at will!"
If you want to occupy a piece of land, the first thing to do is to clean up the local creatures on it.
In the past, the Eternal Night Empire still had a lot of moral standards, and was more restrained when occupying the plane, and would not slaughter people wantonly.
But that was because they wanted to spend less effort to recruit local creatures, and the Dark Lord was more merciful.
The current situation is a little different.
The first and most important point is that the highest leader of this army is the Eternal Night Empire, not the Dark Lord. This time Su Xingyu did not interfere with their decision-making and let them make their own choices.
And given the situation of the high-level officials of the Eternal Night Empire, they will not have any mercy on other creatures on the void plane.
Even if the local creatures are to be used as the foundation of the believers' power in the future, this does not mean that they must use a conciliatory policy.
It is extremely difficult for these creatures who have experienced the belief in local gods to convert in a short period of time.
Therefore, if you want to break through their psychological defenses and destroy the faith in their hearts, fear and doubt are better than conciliation.
"Kill!"
"Fight for the God of Death!"
"Fight for the Lord of the Dead!"
The undead knights, riding on tall nightmare horses, have green flames burning in their eyes, which is contempt for life and desire for death. They let out hoarse roars, as if declaring war on this world belonging to the living.
In this city pierced by darkness, the undead knights riding nightmare horses, like messengers of hell, quickly shuttled through the battlefield, waving long swords, constantly harvesting the lives of the people of the kingdom, and the shadow of death instantly submerged the creatures of this city.
Whether it was the ordinary citizens of the kingdom, the kingdom warriors with impressive strength, or the believer knights guarding the temple, they all seemed vulnerable to the attack of the Undead Knights and would break at the first touch.
In just one counterattack, the kingdom legions that suppressed their fear and barely formed a structured legion to counterattack the Undead Knights were defeated and slaughtered.
This was not surprising, after all, this death knight legion that took the lead and led the empire was a real high-level legion.
There was a huge gap between the two sides in terms of extraordinary rank, weapons and equipment, organizational ability, combat skills, etc. It was too difficult to resist them with just the garrison of a kingdom's main city.
Moreover, elite warriors continued to walk out of the temporary portal.
This kind of temporary portal, which relied on brute force to open up space, put great pressure on the user and was not suitable for ordinary warriors to pass through. Therefore, the legions that could use this portal to descend on [Skarn] were all elite legions of the empire without exception.
When the last elite warrior walked out of the dark vortex, accompanied by a loud bang, the transmission channel was completely closed.
At the same time, the dark light column from the sky also dissipated.
"Kill!"
The terrifying warrior from the sky turned his head to the creatures in the city, and his eyes flashed with violent red light.
Three days later.
The whole city was completely quiet.
"Believers of the God of Death, don't have to worry about anything. Let the gift of the God of Death come here and turn this place into a land of lost countries!" The undead leader sat on the throne made of bones, looking at the warriors below, and issued a pre-war declaration. The voice was calm, but with a trembling chill.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"For the glory of the God of Death!"
"For the Lord of the Dead Souls!"
The undead knights used the simplest language to vent the violent emotions in their hearts. As high-ranking nobles of the undead, they are different from those inferior undead warriors. They have more emotions.
In a sense, they are no different from normal creatures.
As for the newly born undead warriors, they stood there stiffly with knives in their hands. After hearing the call from the undead leader, green flames in their eyes began to flash.
"Wilbur, you lead two legions to guard this city and build the cross-border portal as soon as possible so that our large army can come." The Undead Commander ordered another general.
Relying only on thirteen elite legions and hundreds of thousands of undead warriors, it is nothing but a pipe dream to want to capture this plane. It is simply unrealistic.
Therefore, they must build a stable cross-border portal so that more dark warriors can come here.
"Yes, sir."
The undead general in the Holy Realm took a step forward and replied respectfully.
Soon, the Imperial Vanguard Army that first came here was divided into two groups.
One group stayed in the city of [Skarn] and began to build a cross-border portal to connect to the outside void, so that the Eternal Night Warriors waiting at the Meteorite Transfer Station could come in smoothly as soon as possible.
The other group, led by the Undead Commander, left the city and headed towards the surrounding cities.
At the same time, a piece of news came out from [Skarn], spreading to the surrounding cities at a terrifying speed, and soon spread throughout the kingdom.
"The foreign evil god invaded, and the terrifying undead from the abyss has occupied [Skarn]. The residents of the local city were all slaughtered and became slaves of the Lord of Death."
When the Eternal Night Empire broke through the plane boundary, the movement was very loud. Even at the other end of the plane, the movement could be detected, so it was completely unrealistic to hide the information of the invasion.
"The evil undead lord invaded the Kingdom of Sesit. The lords of the kingdoms around Skarn need to prepare for battle."
"The damn undead are offending the great orc god. We need to gather the kingdom's army and send the most courageous kingdom knights to fight them!"
The spread of this news shocked the subjects of the entire Kingdom of Sesit, and then followed by endless anger.
As one of the important faith forces of the orc gods, they have forgotten when the last city in the heart of the kingdom was attacked.
The minions of the evil gods outside the region, less than 200,000 people, dared to attack them. It was simply too much. They really treated them as soft persimmons.
After the investigation of the Kingdom of Sesit and paying a considerable price, they had a rough estimate of the number of warriors invading the Eternal Night Empire this time.
Starting from 130,000, it will definitely not exceed 200,000.
As for the specific strength, they are not clear, because they have encountered this dark army and have fought head-on, all of them have been killed and become their undead slaves.
However, in the eyes of the Kingdom of Sesit, since it is still an organized army, no matter how strong it is, it will not be that strong, at most it is the level of the Temple Knights.
Although the 200,000 Temple Knights are very powerful, their Kingdom of Sesit has millions of elite troops and occupies the advantage of the local area. They can increase troops at any time, and the opponent's transmission channel has been closed, and there is no follow-up help.
Just 200,000 soldiers, I will kill you!
So, after asking the temple for advice, the Kingdom of Sesit quickly mobilized the whole country and began to gather the first wave of troops, preparing to give a surprise to the invading army.
Half a month later.
The army of the Eternal Night Empire, relying on the advantages of war fortresses and magic warships, conquered 23 cities of the Kingdom of Sesit, and directly expanded the area of the "land of national destruction" under its feet by nearly a hundred times.
Three seventh-level legions and ten super elite legions (sixth-level epic level), even if two legions need to be left to guard [Skarn], the power they unleash is far beyond the surrounding cities.
The most important thing is that the war came too suddenly, and the Kingdom of Sesit had been peaceful for too long and was not prepared for war at all.
Before this, no citizen of the Kingdom of Sesit would believe that one day the war would come directly to the heart of the kingdom. This is really absurd.
Therefore, the attack of the Eternal Night Army was quite smooth and did not encounter any obstacles.
And under their wanton killing, at least two million orcs died in the past half month.
The blood flowed like a river, which became a reality instead of an adjective.
The undead disaster gradually took shape.
Until then, the million-strong expeditionary army urgently assembled by the Kingdom of Sesit barely arrived at the vicinity of the "Land of Lost Country".
They were able to arrive here in such a short time, thanks to the portal system in the kingdom and the strong support of the temple, otherwise it would take at least half a year to get here.
However, it didn't make much sense. When the army of the Kingdom of Sesit arrived, the army of the Eternal Night Empire had already been integrated.
Although the vanguard army had only arrived not long ago, the tentacles of the Eternal Night Empire had already reached this plane many years ago.
They didn't dare to say that they had mastered all the actions of the Kingdom of Sesit, but some major actions could never be concealed from the Eternal Night Empire.
The mobilization of the army will inevitably be accompanied by a big movement, so it can be said that their every move is under the eyes of the Eternal Night Empire.
Even in this kingdom army, many officers are from the Eternal Night Empire.
"Hahaha! What a vigorous blood, I can't wait to taste their blood!" Without the supervision of the Dark Lord, the undead army has become more violent and cruel. They are very disdainful of the kingdom army across the plain and don't take it seriously at all.
"This batch of warriors is of better quality. They are perfect for our servants." Another undead general, feeling the strength of the soldiers of the opposite kingdom, was very satisfied and commented that they seemed to have already won before the battle started.
The number of troops assembled by both sides was close to two million, almost covering the entire plain, and the celestial phenomena within a radius of hundreds of miles were directly reversed.
As the two armies confronted each other, the tense battlefield atmosphere reached its peak.
Then, at the command of the commander of the army, the war was about to break out.
"Fight!"
"For the Lord of Death!"
"Destroy this army and dedicate victory to the Lord of Darkness!"
The Eternal Night Legion, which rushed to the front, was not a cheap undead knight, but the most elite heavy cavalry of the Eternal Night Empire. They laughed wildly and rushed towards the army of the Kingdom of Sesit like a black torrent.
As they moved, the earth began to tremble.
The armor on his head reflected a cold light in the sun, the weapon in his hand flashed with the chill of death, and the sound of horse hooves was like drumbeats, foreshadowing the coming storm.
Soon, they met the heavy cavalry of the kingdom, which was also armored heavy cavalry, a super elite legion blessed by the gods.
"Open it for me!"
The leader of the Eternal Night Legion, who had reached the semi-god realm, waved the halberd in his hand, and the power of the legion soldiers behind him gathered.
A thousand-meter-long energy halberd mixed with various energies formed in the sky, like a divine weapon from heaven, with destructive power, fiercely smashed towards the rushing heavy cavalry of the kingdom.
"My God!"
"How is this possible!"
"God of the Orcs!"
The orc heavy cavalry rushing towards him looked at the energy halberd that was chopped down, and the whole person was not good.
"Stop it for me!"
The orc legion leader at the peak of the ninth-level holy domain changed his face, and then mobilized the power of the legion. The whole person flew into the air, waving the heavy gun in his hand, and rushed towards the halberd.
At this moment, the world seemed to be still, two powerful forces were about to collide, and a suppressed tension filled the air.
Bang——
The space of heaven and earth was shaken, and all living things became deaf, and the whole world fell into a brief silence at this moment.
The orc army leader who flew into the air could not even survive for a second, and turned directly into ashes.
The energy halberd fell, turning into a torrent of energy pouring down, directly cutting the oncoming kingdom heavy cavalry army in half.
The orc soldiers within the attack range, whether they were elite warriors of the sixth level of transcendence or centurions of the ninth level of transcendence, all turned into ashes, without even a slag left.
