"Boom!!"

Rhodes pushed open the door and entered the conference hall, where he stood and looked at the people sitting in the rotunda hall, where not only his own subordinates, but also representatives from the church, elves, and even the Chamber of Commerce. At this moment, they all looked at the young lord in front of them nervously and in surprise, no one knew what Rod would gather them in the middle of the night, not only them, even if they were other people who were Rod's subordinates, they were also puzzled at the moment, only the canary, the little bubble gum, the seven loves and the heart of Bilan were calm at this time, as Rod's summons and subordinates, they naturally learned the news that Rod got through the system.

Rod could sense the confusion and curiosity of those people, but now he was in no mood to explain, he strode straight to the center of the hall, and then turned around, looking at everyone with a serious face.

"I know that everyone is very strange about what I will gather you at this time, but because of the urgency of time, I will not talk nonsense here, and just talk about the point."

At this, Rod paused, he glanced at the crowd, gave them a moment to prepare, and then spoke.

"I just got the news that the undead army has crossed the border and marched towards the fortress of the Land of Atonement under the protection of the dark dragon soul, with a total of 50,000."

"Boom!"

Hearing this, the people who were still a little confused suddenly exploded at this time, and many people jumped up and looked at each other, they were dazed by the information thrown out by Rode, and they didn't know what to say at all. For a while, everyone was talking, even Lijie and Marlene were pale and shocked at this time, they didn't have discussed with Rhodes the possibility of the Night Dragon Kingdom sending troops, but they all thought that the Night Kingdom should not attack so soon. But I didn't expect the reality to slap them so quickly. It left them speechless.

"Quiet, I want you to be quiet."

Rod's cold voice passed through the noise of the hall, and at the same time, an invisible cold chill quickly enveloped the hall, making the originally chaotic crowd close their mouths, and they all turned around in unison. Looking at the young lord in front of him, it was only at this time that many people felt how secure Rod's expressionless face was. In the past, they always accused this lord in their hearts of being unsociable and put on a face to everyone, but now, seeing Rhodes' expression as always, those who were panicked by the news of the undead attack, are now much more relieved. Although they didn't know what the young lord had planned, at least it looked. The lord was already sure about this.

"I think you all know what that means, the undead army is only thirty minutes away from the fortress now, and we must have everything ready within these thirty minutes."

With that, Rhodes turned his head and began to give a name.

"Senior sister, immediately lead all the soldiers to prepare for the first-level battle, and be sure to defend and close the gate before the undead legion arrives. Pull up the drawbridge and get all your alchemical gear and weapons ready. Labis. It's up to you to take care of that, and I'm going to equip everyone in the shortest possible time. ”

"That's good, sir."

Hearing Rod's order, Labis immediately stood up and replied in a nervous, somewhat trembling voice. Bilan's heart was silent for a moment, and then nodded slightly. Then she yawned——— it seemed that she really hadn't woken up this time. And after getting the reply from the two, Rod did not hesitate at all, and immediately turned to look at the others.

"Joey, from now on, the guild stronghold is completely banned, and no one is allowed to go out. I want you to lead your men around in case something happens, John, I ask you to gather the cavalry regiment as quickly as possible to maintain order in the city and ensure that there is no chaos, and Ajavi and her sea elves will help in this regard. If anyone dares to take advantage of the fire to rob or create chaos, there is no mercy! In the meantime, I ask you to send a group of men out of the fortress to gather the inhabitants of the villages below and prepare them for evacuation. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

"Roger, Boss."

In the face of Rod's order, John hurriedly responded, and Joey, who is usually always hippie and smiling, also restrained his expression with a serious face at this time and nodded seriously. However, Rod did not pay attention to their expressions, as he said, time was of the essence at the moment, and he simply did not have the time and mood to say anything more. Even Rhodes felt that giving orders was a bit of a waste of time, and it would be nice if he could just click on it with a mouse pull like in the game.........

"Annie, you're in charge of staying in the stronghold and protecting Christie and the others, and I'll send a team to help. Mr. Walker, I ask that you immediately send an urgent contact to the Golden City and the Deep Rock City, and make sure that they are informed of our situation as soon as possible. ”

"No problem, boy."

"Leave it to Anne, Captain! Anne will definitely protect everyone! ”

Hearing this, Old Walker first took a sip of wine, and then nodded vigorously, while Anne jumped up excitedly and waved the Adamantite Heavy Shield in her hand vigorously. The frightened people around couldn't help but shrink their heads, for fear that they would die before the battle began.

"Marfa, Thor, you are still under my direct command as before, as are Lijie and Marlene, you must immediately gather your men, make all preparations and wait for me on the city wall, pay attention, completely follow my orders to act, do not act on your own, I will inform you as soon as possible."

After quickly giving orders to his subordinates, Rhodes turned and looked at the others sitting on the other side, they were not his own subordinates, but more representatives of the various forces in the fortress, but now, they were all companions on the same boat.

"I think you should be very aware of the current situation, the 50,000 undead army, they are not here to drink tea. And I think you are well aware of the distance between our atoning place and the rest of the world, and in this fortress, I still have enough confidence to protect your personal safety, but if you leave the fortress, I cannot guarantee your life or death, you can only rely on yourselves. ”

Said here. Rhodes frowned slightly, and then he looked at the moon elf girl on the other side, who had been silent.

"Miss Corinna, I would like to have your help and that of the Church, now that the army of the undead is overwhelmed, our manpower alone is not enough, I hope to be able to get all the help. Although it was not my intention to involve your country, I have only done so now. ”

“…………………”

Unlike the others, Corinna didn't respond immediately, and it's no wonder that she represents the Land of Law and the Church, not the Moons. If she makes a move here, once discovered, it is very likely that the country of law will also be involved in the war. Because. It wasn't easy for Corinna to respond, she might even need to negotiate with the country of France before she could answer, but it didn't matter to Rod, he didn't even wait for Corinna's answer, but nodded to her and turned away, now that time was urgent, he didn't have extra free time to wait for Corinna to think before making a decision. Anyway, this legendary powerhouse is on his own turf, and he has a way to get the other party to join this war "voluntarily".

Therefore. Even if Corinna didn't answer immediately, Rod didn't care. He just turned his head to look at the crowd, and then gave the order with a serious face.

"Let's get moving."

Darkness covered everything.

Rhodes stood on the tall city wall and looked ahead, where everything was covered in darkness and snow. But this was not the case in Rhodes' eyes. In fact, the reason why he was able to learn about the invasion of the Night Dragon Kingdom was entirely because of the effect of the system, and the moment the Night Dragon Kingdom's army entered the range of Rhodes' potential, Rhodes got a system prompt. That's what made him react in time. At this moment, Rhodes was standing on the city wall, looking at the darkness and shadows ahead.

Behind him, the fortress began to run rapidly like a giant awakened from its slumber, because Rhodes had already been trained in a targeted manner, so the reaction of the soldiers was not too panicked, they were well-trained and ready for everything, standing on the city wall, looking into the distance with a serious face, on the tower, the archers were ready, pointing straight forward with their longbows and arrows, and the magic ballista shifted its direction and aimed at the dark border.

"Whew............ Ha............ Phew..............."

Standing at the top of the wall, Rhodes exhaled softly, then inhaled, he felt his body tremble unconsciously, and even his right hand was swinging slightly, it was a mixture of tension, excitement, anticipation, and fear flowing through his body like melting snow. He has been preparing for so long, preparing everything, for this moment now, for this moment in front of him, the undead army is coming, and he, can he change the fate of all this as he wishes?

That's the beginning.

"Sand ............ Sand............ Sand ..............."

A faint sound gradually sounded under the howling wind and snow.

At first glance, it sounds like the sound of waves crashing against the shore, but if you look ahead, you will see a fundamental difference.

Rhodes looked up and looked ahead, his gaze not able to penetrate the darkness, but he knew what was behind the darkness.

Thousands of skeletal armies marched forward in silence, their movements uniform and precise as computer-controlled robots, fearless, their silent determination to harvest all the life they came across, and behind them were death knights, vampires, and necromancers.

Lightning Raid.

Thinking of this, the corners of Rod's mouth curled slightly, and a few smiles appeared. The essence of a raid is to surprise and attack by surprise, which is almost the same as Rod's own stabbing tactics in the back, so, for himself, how can he allow himself to be sneak attacked by others?

Now is the time.

Rod narrowed his eyes, and soon, a shining golden light appeared in front of him, and immediately after, a line of system prompts appeared in front of Rode.

【Activating the Statue of the Holy Maiden】

The silvery-white, holy light roared at that moment and rose to the sky.

The statue of the Crystal Holy Maiden towering in the center of the square burst out with a sun-like brilliance at this moment, and the white and dazzling pillars of light rose into the sky, tearing through the clouds and illuminating everything around them. I saw that this pillar of light that rose to the sky immediately began to spread out in all directions when it reached the heavenly dome, forming a sacred barrier that enveloped the entire fortress in it. The howling blizzard began to weaken, the clouds gradually receded, and the shadows that covered the earth receded like a tide, revealing everything that was hidden below.

With the illumination of the silver-white light, the necromantic armies who had been hiding in the darkness were immediately exposed to this divine light, and under the light of the holy light, people could even clearly see the soul fire burning in their eye sockets, as well as the sword that shone with cold light. In the face of this sudden change, the necromantic army seemed to have stalled, and it was clear that they had no idea that they would be discovered.

Very good.

Rhodes stood on the city wall, coldly looking down at the undead legions below, they were still a little closer, they could launch a surprise attack, but now, the attack and defense were reversed, now that they were here, they didn't want to go back.

Rod raised his right hand, and then swung it forward vigorously.

"Do it!" (To be continued......)
