Chapter 261 The Disaster of the Undead
In the battle at the entrance to the canyon leading to Tardina City, the 10th Legion of the Oak Empire suffered heavy damage. Nearly 70,000 Beast Warriors were either killed in battle or captured, and only more than 50,000 Beast Warriors fled back to Tardina City.
The Han leader only paid more than one hundred giant warriors' losses, and the coalition forces of various elves tribes only lost more than three hundred elves magicians and more than four thousand elves warriors, which was definitely a brilliant victory.
Then the coalition forces of the Great Han leader and the Elf tribes took advantage of the victory and soon launched an attack on the city of Tardina.
However, the Fourth Legion of the Oak Empire stationed in Tardina City had about 160,000 Beast Warriors at this time, and the more than 50,000 Beast Warriors who fled back to Tardina City, the total strength of the Beast Army guarding Tardina City exceeded 210,000.
The Han Dynasty had only 4,000 troops, and the coalition forces of the various elves were only less than 40,000, and the beast army also occupied the advantage of defending the city.
As a result, after the coalition forces of the Great Han leaders and the elves tribes attacked the northern wall of Tardina City once, they found that with the current strength of their coalition, there was no possibility of capturing Tardina City.
Graham, the leader of the Purple Lan tribe of the Elf tribe, frowned and asked Li Bin: "What do you think we should do?
The orcs have too many troops in Tardina City, and Tardina City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we attack with such a hard force, it will probably not have any effect."
Li Bin looked at the city wall at least twenty meters high in the distance, pondered for a moment and said, "Father-in-law, we defeated the Beast Army at the entrance of the valley, which is equivalent to cutting off the retreat of the Beast Army entering the northern province of the Emmena Empire.
In this case, it is similar to regaining the city of Tardina. It is better to give up the siege for the time being. As long as our coalition forces can defend this valley, it should be the best support for the Emmena army."
Graham nodded, "What you said makes a lot of sense. Then we will temporarily stop attacking Tardina City as you said, and defend this valley leading to Tardina City."
As the commander of the entire Oak Empire crusade army, the commander of the Second Legion, Nickman, learned that the 10th Legion was defeated by the elves and the coalition forces led by the Han Dynasty, and that the city of Tardina was being attacked by the enemy, and immediately returned to the city of Tardina with his own guard.
"Timcard, what did you do? How did you lose so quickly with more than 100,000 troops?" Nickman asked Timcard, the commander of the 10th Legion, with some annoyance.
Timkad smiled wryly and described the entire battle process to Nickman again, and finally sighed and said, "It's not that our 10th Legion is not fighting hard. The enemy is too strong. In less than a day, our 10th Legion was completely defeated. There are only more than 50,000 orc warriors who can retreat to Tardina City."
The commander of the Fourth Legion, Agudro, followed and said: "The half-elf lord under the command of the Great Han Dynasty in the Emmena Empire has at least thousands of giant warriors.
Nickman, you should also know how powerful the Giant Warrior is, not to mention that there are many Giant Warriors riding on the ground and flying dragons. If the walls of Tardina were not high enough, Tardina would be captured by those Giant Warriors if they were not properly done.”
The words of Timkad and Agudlow made Nickman frown.
“Agudlow, Timkad, I am preparing to fight a decisive battle with the army of the Emmena Empire in the Northern Province.
Can you two legions regain the valley leading to Tardina before this decisive battle breaks out?"
Agudlow and Timkad looked at each other, and both smiled bitterly.
"Nickman, unless the Empire sends the Mammoth Cavalry and the Purple-Golden Eagle Air Cavalry, it is impossible for us, the Fourth Legion and the Tenth Legion, who have suffered heavy losses, to defeat the thousands of giant warriors of the half-elf lord." Agudro said helplessly.
Nickman thought for a while and said, "I will find a way to report the information here to His Majesty the Emperor.
I hope His Majesty the Emperor can send a guard army to attack the giant troops of the half-elf lord and the armies of various elves tribes."
In addition to ten legions, the Oak Empire also has a guard legion, six mammoth cavalry companies and four purple and gold eagle air cavalry companies, all of which belong to the Guard legion of the Oak Empire.
In addition, the Guards of the Oak Empire also have many main combat companies and some elite troops such as the Mammoth Cavalry and the Purple and Gold Eagle Air Cavalry.
The control of the entire guard army is in the hands of the emperor of the Oak Empire.
In mid-January of the Elves 3887, the army of the Emmena Empire had already gathered more than 500,000 troops in the southern part of the Northern Territory.
In addition, the Runot Empire and the Banksey Empire each sent about 150,000 elite troops to the southern part of the northern border province of the Emmena Empire.
The orc army of the Auck Empire also gathered five legions in the northern province of the Emmena Empire, with a total of up to 750,000 troops.
There is not much difference between 800,000 and 750,000.
At this time, the army led by the Han Dynasty under Li Bin and the coalition forces of various elves tribes still occupied the valley leading to the city of Tardina.
However, the Guards, the most combat-capable Guards of the Oak Empire, have sent nearly half of their troops, about 50,000 troops, rushing towards the valley outside the city of Tardina.
Just as the war between the human army and the beast army was about to break out, the messenger of the dwarf kingdom brought shocking news to the three major human empires and the Oak Empire of the beast race.
The Dwarf Kingdom is located in the south of the Banksey Empire, and in the southeast of the Dwarf Kingdom, it is a vast wasteland called the Cursed Wasteland.
The reason why it is called the Cursed Wasteland is that there are many undead wandering on this wasteland.
It is said that the Cursed Wasteland is still connected to the mysterious undead space. About a thousand years ago, tens of millions of undead suddenly appeared in the Cursed Wasteland, carrying a large number of undeads that were originally before the Cursed Wasteland, and began to rage the entire continent.
The disaster more than a thousand years ago is also called the disaster of the dead.
Finally, many intelligent races such as humans, elves, beasts, giants, dwarves and others united and paid an extremely heavy price to eliminate the vast majority of the undead and drove the remaining undead back to the cursed wasteland.
Because the Cursed Wasteland has a suppressive effect on various intelligent races, for example, human warriors and magicians enter the Cursed Wasteland, the fighting spirit and magic power will be suppressed, and the level will even drop to two levels.
Even if a legendary warrior is cursing the wasteland, he can only exert the strength of a silver warrior. A high-level magician is cursing the wasteland, and his strength will be suppressed to the level of a junior magician.
In this way, the coalition forces of various wise races could only drive the undead back to the cursed wasteland, and there was no way to enter the cursed wasteland, and completely eliminate the threats of the undead to the entire continent.
In order to find out the situation in the mysterious undead space, various intelligent races have selected a group of masters to enter the Cursed Wasteland, including several warriors and magicians in the divine realm.
Unfortunately, these masters never came out after entering the Cursed Wasteland.
In order to prevent the undead disaster from breaking out again, various intelligent races decided to build a giant city wall of more than 2,000 kilometers along the border of the Cursed Wasteland after discussion.
This giant city wall will be located in the territory of the Dwarf Kingdom. The important task of building this giant city wall and guarding this giant city wall will fall on the head of the Dwarf Kingdom.
Other races have also taken out a large amount of property to help the Dwarf Kingdom build this giant wall and signed an agreement that any force invaded the Dwarf Kingdom will be subject to joint attacks by various races.
The Dwarf Kingdom thus became a permanent neutral country. In the following thousand years, the Dwarf Kingdom never broke out in war with other races.
More than a thousand years have passed, and the undead disaster that curses the wasteland has never happened again. Like the civilians of the three major human empires, many people have never even heard of the undead disaster.
The disaster of the undead once again made the originally tense human army and the beast army immediately resolve their past grudges.
The generals of both sides quickly reached a ceasefire agreement.
Although humans and beasts hated each other, when facing the dead, both sides could still fight side by side.
The undead army is extremely terrifying, especially the undead mages in the undead army, who can even summon skeleton soldiers from the corpse or directly turn the corpse into zombies.
This will cause a headache for any intelligent race when facing the army of the undead.
Soon, Li Bin and the patriarchs of various tribes of the Purple Eagle Forest Elf also received news that the disaster of the undead broke out again.
Graham, the head of the Zilan Tribe, said to Li Bin in a deep voice: "The undead is the common enemy of all races on the continent. Since the undead disaster broke out again, we can only temporarily put aside the hatred with the orcs and deal with the undead army that cursed the wasteland together."
Li Bin nodded with a serious expression, "Duke Charles Eksta of the Northern Army Corps sent me a letter. Now the 800,000 troops of our three major human empires and the 750,000 orc troops of the Oak Empire have rushed to the Dwarf Kingdom.
The Duke of Charles Eksta hopes that we will lift the blockade to the valley of Tardina and draw troops to the Dwarf Kingdom to resist the undead army."
Graham said: "Resist the undead army, our elves tribes in the Purple Eucalyptus Forest will of course be unshirkable. I believe that other elves tribes on the continent will also send troops to the Dwarf Kingdom."
The elves have not established countries in this world, they all exist in the form of tribes.
There are currently only six countries in this world, including the three major empires of mankind - the Emmena Empire, the Runot Empire and the Banksey Empire.
There is also the Oak Empire of the Beast tribe and the Dwarf Kingdom of the Dwarf tribe.
The last country is a business alliance that occupies eight large islands.
The Business Alliance is also the only multi-race country in the world. Humans occupy about half of the population in the Business Alliance, and the Orcs occupy one-quarter of the population, the Elfs, Dwarves and other races, occupying the remaining quarter of the population.
Graham immediately asked Li Bin: "This time I went to the Dwarf Kingdom to resist the undead army. How many troops are you going to lead by the great Han army to rush over?"
Li Bin hesitated for a moment and said, "Father-in-law, since the Emmena Empire has temporarily reconciled with the Auck Empire, I am going to lead the army led by the Han Dynasty to return to the territory for rest.
Anyway, there are millions of troops sent to the Dwarf Kingdom to support this time, and it doesn’t matter if our Han led these thousands of troops to go late for a while."
Graham nodded, "Alisha just gave birth to a baby. You can go back and spend more time with her. This time, countries will definitely do their best to curse the undead army in the wasteland.
Coupled with the giant wall of the Dwarf Kingdom, the undead disaster that broke out this time should not be as serious as it was more than a thousand years ago."
As of now, the Han leaders killed a total of 175 giant warriors, including twenty-five two-legged flying dragon cavalry, fifty earth-mounted dragon heavy cavalry, forty-six forest giant heavy infantry and fifty-four hill giant heavy infantry.
There are also nearly a hundred giant warriors who were seriously injured, including sixteen of them. Even after they are injured, they will be disabled and cannot go to the battlefield again.
Several generals who went to the expedition with Li Bin were also seriously injured. Fortunately, after Hua Tuo's treatment, they were basically fine. They only needed to recuperate for a while and could return to the battlefield.
After Li Bin led his army to set off, the various elves tribes in the Purple Eucalyptus Forest drew more than 20,000 elves magicians and more than 20,000 elves warriors to form a reinforcement from the elves and then rushed to the dwarf kingdom.
The orc army stationed in the city of Tardina directly opened the city gate and allowed reinforcements from this elves to pass through.
Shortly after this elves reinforcements left Tardina City, 50,000 troops of the Oak Empire Guards also arrived at Tardina City.
The general who led the 50,000 Beast Warriors of the Oak Empire Guards Legion is Mike Yar, the deputy commander of the Guards Legion.
The Guards Legion of the Oak Empire has always been in control of the Emperors of the Oak Empire. Every emperor of the Oak Empire also serves as the commander of the Guards Legion.
The Guards Legion has two deputy commanders, and these two deputy commanders are usually held by the emperor's confidants, helping the emperor control the Guards Legion.
Michael Yar was appointed as the deputy commander of the Guards after the current Emperor Steinfen ascended the throne of the Oak Empire. Michael Yar is also the uncle of the current Emperor Steinfen.
After meeting the commander of the Fourth Legion, Agudlow, and the commander of the 10th Legion, Timkad, in Tardina City, Mike Yaer said in a deep voice: "I will lead the 50,000 troops of the Guards to the Dwarf Kingdom, but you two legions need to continue to stay in Tardina City.
The city of Tardina is the only way for our legions to withdraw from the Emmena Empire. Although in order to deal with the disaster of the undead, we will fight side by side with the Emmena Empire and the other two human countries, the city of Tardina must still be controlled by our Oak Empire.
This is also the order His Majesty the Emperor just sent someone to send."
