Contrary to what Jenn had thought, everything was going well on Montgomery's side. As soon as the news of the annihilation of the Legion of the Glorious Nation in the Endless Harbor broke, the other forces that were still on the verge of moving immediately settled down. This surprised Montgomery, who didn't expect Jenn to have such influence. But in any case, it's good to be able to avoid causing trouble. Therefore, Montgomery also seized this opportunity and hurriedly completed all the defensive mobilizations of the Chaos Coast. Although some time was wasted, thanks to the cooperation of other major forces, all this went smoothly. But even so, Montgomery was still worried, because he knew that time was running out.

Night is coming.

The icy sea breeze whistled and blew, standing on the city wall, looking at the pitch black darkness in front of them. The paladins on the night vigil couldn't help but look much more solemn, they knew very well that the undead legion was approaching. Just a few days ago, they sent several warships on a cruise, but none of them were able to return. Although Montgomery blocked the news, everyone knew that the undead army had arrived.

"I think the first thing we're going to have to deal with is the largest number of skeletons and ghouls."

In the operations command room, Montgomery held out his finger under the oil lamp and pointed at the defense line of the Chaos Coast, and then spoke with a gloomy face.

"We all know that vampires can't cross a flowing river. So they will definitely not be in the first attack column, so for sure. The other party is definitely prepared for undead creatures that can move freely in the water without being restricted, so it seems. Skeleton soldiers and ghouls are the best combination, and then there are the banshees -- the legend of the banshees of the Chaos Coast has a long history, and the other party will definitely not let it go. ”

Said here. Montgomery sighed, then drew a circle next to him. Looking at his face, the other commander also frowned.

"Will the other party really land from here? It's the most heavily guarded part of us........."

"That's why I'm sure they're coming."

At this, Montgomery smiled wryly. If it had been before the Frozen Fang Fortress had been breached, he would have had the same thoughts as the others. But after the Frozen Fang Fortress was breached, Montgomery didn't think so. You know, in order to capture the Frozen Fangs. It took the other side a full year and three months, and it consumed a considerable part of the undead legion's strength. This seemed to Montgomery to be quite wasteful, knowing that there was this time. The opponent could clearly bypass the Frozen Fang Fortress and attack from other places, or even cut off the retreat of the Frozen Fang, and then surround them in it. In Montgomery's opinion. This is the most appropriate strategy. Or even think a little more. The opponent can bypass the Frozen Fang and launch an attack on the principality behind them, although this will also take some time, but the other path will take two or three months at most, and it is not more cost-effective in terms of time than a strong attack. And if they attack the country behind the Frozen Fang, then it is equivalent to cutting off the back road of the Frozen Fang, as long as the Frozen Fang Fortress becomes a turtle in the urn, then no matter how you clean it up.

In Montgomery's opinion. That's the right strategy. It's a pity that the other party is not interested in this at all. He's just storming, storming. Assault again. It took more than a year to capture the Frozen Fang.

But even so, Montgomery did not think that the other party was doing useless work, on the contrary, he felt a trace of fear in the other party's approach. Montgomery already knew what his enemies were up to, and he wanted to crush them head-on, in what they did best, and crush them to their only strengths, so that they would fall into misery and despair. In fact, many of the clergy who had followed Montgomery's retreat from the Frozen Fang Fortress were left in a state of deep confusion and remorse and pain. Quite a few people chose to commit suicide, which dealt a serious blow to the morale of the coalition forces. To Montgomery, this was even more terrifying than simply defeating the Frozen Fang Fortress. Therefore, in it, the other party shows a power that cannot be defeated at all. Thus completely destroying the self-confidence of his subordinates. There is nothing more terrifying than this.

Because of this, Montgomery was sure that the opponent would definitely concentrate on attacking the strongest point on his side, as if he could take the Frozen Fang Fortress and completely break through the defense line in front of him. And by that time, everything will be over. He knew very well that the loss of the Chaos Coast would be the loss of the last line of defense in the southern hinterland. And then the undead army descended like a tiger, straight into the flock. At that time, not to mention the southern region, even the Holy Kingdom Seth will not be able to escape this catastrophe.

However, Montgomery now doesn't know what to do either. He can continue to resist the other party, and even delay the other party for a year and a half like the frozen fangs, but what's the point? The other party is an undead creature, one more day and one less day, it makes no difference to them. And they are not consumed, they do not need to be replenished. In terms of military resources, they are even more readily available. Not only that, but Montgomery also knew that many famous adventurers and priests had tried to destroy the rulers of this undead army, but they all failed in the end, and were ruthlessly and cruelly transformed into necromancy by the other side. Even if these powerful people are transformed into undead creatures, they will not be easy targets to deal with -- and they will even be even more difficult to deal with.

In this state.........

"Bell......... Clang......... Bell ............"

The bell rang quickly, and at the sound of it, Montgomery's body shuddered, and the next moment he straightened up. The eyes that were still a little hesitant have become clear and resolute at this moment.

It's time to come, it's still coming.

On the sea, a thick fog fills the air.

The moon had already hidden behind the heavy clouds, and as far as the eye could see, the entire seaside was as dark and dim as the entrance to the underworld, and if it were not for the sound of the waves, one might even mistakenly think that the ocean was completely dead. But now, the waves that beat from time to time seemed to the paladins like a wail to death.

I don't know when the white fog covered the entire sea, and when I stood on the walls of Eternal Winter and looked into the distance, I could only see the thick fog in the distance, and even the sea was no longer visible. And when Montgomery walked up to the city wall and looked at the fog in front of him, his heart became heavier and heavier. Not only him, but many paladins were also serious and even a little nervous at this time -- they had already guessed in their hearts that this day would definitely come, but when this day really came, they suddenly realized that their preparations were still not enough.

"Don't panic!!"

Sensing the wavering of the people around him, Montgomery also let out a low shout, and then he suddenly raised his hand and gave the order.

"Signal, light the lights!"

With Montgomery's order, only a "bang" was heard, and a dazzling magical beam flew into the sky. Immediately afterwards, the braziers were lit up one by one, illuminating the coast in front of them. Not only that, but it didn't take long to see dazzling lights lit up in the depths of the originally dark coastline, and they were connected one after another, forming a wall of light connected by light on the chaotic coast, blocking the path of the undead army.

But that's just the beginning.

"Activate the Holy Guardian!!"

As Montgomery spoke, silver pillars of light rose into the sky, scattering along the coastline one after another, and the dazzling silver light connected in the sky. I saw the divine flame spread out in the cracks of the dark clouds, like a converging river, intimately merging with each other into one. And just after the silver light fused, only a dull sound of "boom" was heard, and countless silver runes appeared in an instant, and then, a sacred wall that stood up to the sky and the earth appeared on the earth out of thin air. It was only at this time that Montgomery secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The Holy Guardian is one of the five most valuable relics in the Templar Order, and it is capable of forming a sacred protective barrier in an area through which ordinary undead creatures would not be able to pass through. This is also one of the hole cards that Montgomery has the confidence to fend off the undead here. Otherwise, if nothing else, the narrow coastline alone would have been enough to make Montgomery raise his hands and surrender.

"Report the situation from all positions!!"

"Emerald Song, ready!!"

"Silver Sword, ready!!"

"Warhammer roars, ready!!"

“……………”

Soon, responses came from one position after another, and they were all ready. Although it is said that the change of defense is a little flustered. But because of this, these forces, which have just finished changing the defense area for a short time, have increased their vigilance by twelve points. This is also a blessing in disguise.

"Hoo ............"

Montgomery breathed a sigh of relief deep in his heart when he heard the answers from the various defense zones, and then he glanced at the Endless Harbor in the distance, although here, he couldn't see the situation on the other side of the Endless Harbor. But now......... Forget it, leave everything to the lord of Passus. On my side, I'm afraid I don't have so much time to worry about others.

Sure enough, just as Montgomery had this thought in his heart, a strange horn sounded.

It seemed to be the wailing and roaring of countless unjust souls, and just listening to the sound of this horn was enough to make people shudder involuntarily. With the sound of the horn, the mist began to stir slowly, and then a huge sound quietly emerged from the necromantic mist.

The Undead Legion has finally arrived. (To be continued.) )
