Chapter 26: On the Eve of the Great War

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In order to facilitate this war, the Supreme Lord, Hall, had made ample preparations.

Due to the threat of the seven undead lords in the North, the entire Fergus Empire had remained silent.

However, Hall’s 200,000 men army was not enough to attack Bader!

Thus, Hall had no choice but to inform the seven undead lords of the information he had obtained from Melissa.

After receiving Hall’s message, they learned about the entire combat strength of St. Mariga, but they did not completely trust Hall.

That was because they had also noticed one thing — they were all from another world. They were of the same origin as Hall, but they did not come from the same place.

There was no other way to deal with Hall now, because the difference in strength was simply too great.

However, they had already come up with a plan. As long as they could obtain the Energy of Life from 500,000 soldiers, they would be able to increase the strength of the passage to the Dark Eternal Domain.

The four factions continuously prepared their armies. A week later, the undead lords began their battle against St. Mariga.

On the first day, because they did not know each other’s background, all of the soldiers who went on stage were ordinary soldiers.

The number of soldiers on both sides had already reached 300,000. The entire Southwest defence line had completely became the battleground for the humans and the undead army.

Although it was only a test, more than 24 Dark Warriors had appeared in this war. In half a day’s time, nearly 150,000 lives had been taken.

Seeing that the lives of the soldiers were continuously being lost, Empress Mavis directly dispatched the Royal Knight Commander to lead the two Sacred Knights of the town to join in the war.

When the army of less than two people entered the battlefield, a huge tremor erupted in the center of the occupied city.

The Castellan of Asuma City was at a distance and could clearly feel the aftershock of the battle.

An overwhelming amount of light and dark elemental energy splattered across the entire battlefield.

No matter where the energy waves fell, the undead soldiers and human soldiers in this place would disintegrate into powder and have no chance of recovering at all.

Seeing the troop of knights advancing, Queen Mavis’ tightly knitted brows relaxed a lot. At this time, a huge crater was thrown at her from the sky.

However, Queen Mavis did not flinch at all. She did not care about the crater, which was several times harder than an elephant.

A golden light in a shape of an “X” emitted from a sword flashed past. It was directed at that crater and caused it to explode into pieces.

The scattered rocks did not stop and continued to smash towards Empress Mavis.

A knight suddenly appeared beside her. The Knight stabbed the broadsword in his hand into the ground. Holy Power surged out and a huge protective shield appeared in front of Empress Mavis.

All the rocks were blocked by the huge Shield of Light.

“Empress Mavis, the battlefield is too dangerous!”

“If possible, please move to a safe place in the camp and wait for the outcome of the war!”

Hearing this, Mavis did not answer him. She only said, “I have already came to the battlefield. If I don’t witness this war myself, then what’s the point of me coming?”

Hearing this, the old knight knelt down on one knee beside her.

“Your Majesty, I’m really sorry. Donald was really rude!”

At this time, Mavis turned around and helped the Holy Knight, Donald, who was kneeling on the ground, up.

“No need to be so polite!”

“My character is just a little strong-willed!”

“I’ll have to trouble you to protect me from now on!” After saying that, she turned around and looked at the battlefield in a distance.

Soon, the sky brightened up. Queen Mavis seemed to have predicted the outcome of the war, so she turned around and left the wall of the city.

Looking at her receding figure, the Holy Knight Donald couldn’t help but smile. His expression was like an old father looking at his own daughter.

Donald had been responsible for the security of the Gongado City since the generation of Mavis’ mother.

He had basically watched Mavis grow up, but he was later transferred back to the Holy Court because of the archbishop.

It was not until the beginning of the war that he was once again sent back to Mavis’ side.

He could not help but feel proud from the bottom of his heart when he saw that the little girl, who had not been seen for so many years, had grown up to be an excellent Empress.

It was obvious that the people of St. Mariga were thriving under the leadership of two generations of the Empress.

Therefore, as a knight, he knew the greatness of Mavis and her mother.

After the war of St Mariga began, the Fergus Empire began to march, and all the armies headed east from Bader.

They were prepared to take down the entire eastern continent with the help of the two forces.

Although Mehiounes and Mediarrudy had fallen, the Eastern continent had a lot of mineral resources and arable land.

The Fergus Empire lacked the most things right now, so the new emperor of Garcia Alberta had to seize this region!

On the second day of the Fergus Empire’s military operation, Hall saw the army in the distance from the high mountains.

They had long been prepared and were waiting patiently in the city walls, ready to give the human army in front of them a big surprise.

Before the start of the battle, Hall personally came to the camp.

Willis, Hymin, Gerard, Randall, Alman, Melissa, and the others were all in the camp.

This was already the highest combat strength in Hall’s camp.

“The army is already coming this way. Are you all ready?”

“We have all the plans arranged.”

“Melissa, as the most important part, please don’t have too much pressure!”

Saying that, she took out two cursed daggers, stood up, and handed the weapons to Melissa.

“Although I’m a little anxious, I still rushed to produce these weapons!”

“Let’s shine in this war!”

After everything was arranged, everyone returned to their respective positions.

Melissa’s role was very simple. When the army arrived at the camp, she would disguise herself and enter the camp, disrupting the order of the camp.

This plan was very bold, even Hall himself had participated in it.

After all, they were facing a real army of 600,000 humans. If they did not launch a surprise attack and slowly lose their strength, it was highly likely that they would lose.

After successfully disrupting the order of the enemy’s camp, Melissa released the sky-covering darkness that the city had brought.

Taking advantage of the chaos, all the undead soldiers and generals went out in full force and launched a surprise attack on the human army.

If they succeeded this time, the 600,000 men army would definitely be scattered.

In the end, they relied on the super endurance of the undead soldiers to continuously massacre and directly create a blood pool in the middle of the army.

They used this blood pool to continuously convert the dead undead soldiers..
