The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 1087 The Ancestors Rise Up
"Great Forbidden Spell! Blast! Raze this place to the ground!" Roland spread his arms in front of him and activated the Imperial Escape - Forbidden Spell Opening the Way Technique!
"Calm down, Your Majesty! Many lords and kings of the Kingdom of Arno are buried here! You mustn't!" Aragorn grabbed Roland's leg, trying to interrupt the spellcasting. After all, even he, in his youth, knew what it was like to use a forbidden spell to cleanse the earth!
"Our ancestors were innocent! The dead deserve our respect!" Aragorn howled. Although the ancient cemetery was shrouded in darkness, many Arno people still lay buried there. As a descendant, Aragorn could not allow his ancestral graves to be blown up, especially since such an explosion would affect an entire area!

“Uh…though I don’t want to say it, but…it seems your ancestor…um…has crawled out!” Marquis Al-Tegran Franz tried to organize his thoughts, but in the end he could only tell the truth.

The group marched up a hill, where they could see dwarf warriors fighting with undead skeletons. The scene itself was nothing special, but the skeletons were adorned with a dazzling array of jewelry, and many wore old but not yet rotten armor. The armor was clearly of good quality, and Roland, with his dragon eyesight, could even tell that it contained a lot of dwarf and elven items!
"Wow! Your ancestor has gotten up... and his magic armor is even sparkling!" Vesza thought to himself.

"..." Aragorn was completely stunned. It was hard to imagine how shocking this scene must have been for Aragorn, who was only in his early twenties. Considering Aragorn's nearly three hundred years of life, he was still a child in terms of life scale. One can only imagine how much psychological trauma this left on him. After all, not everyone can accept their ancestors crawling out dressed in bright colors and "singing and dancing"...

"By the Dragon God! This is necromancy! You bastard! You damned ancient tomb corpse demon, I'll make you..." Caslo turned red instantly after seeing it clearly. After all, this kind of desecration of corpses could not be produced by natural necromancy. Such a large number of corpses crawling out and turning into undead must be the fault of necromancy!
"Calm down! If you cast a forbidden spell, the dwarves can be expelled from the fold!" Bard hurriedly tugged at Lacaslo's sleeve, afraid that this guy might accidentally unleash a powerful attack with his forbidden spell and carry Thorin away!

"What... what should we do?" A panicked Aragorn was at a loss and could only look to the others for help.

"Ahem! In this situation, all we can do is let them rest in peace!" Thranduil coughed lightly after exchanging a glance with Roland.

“This is terrible!” Legolas stood behind Aragorn, his eyes filled with apprehension. After all, among the skeletons below, there might be one of Arnor’s former kings.

"Aren't we going to make a move, Roland?" White Wing looked at the moving corpses below and felt a chill run down his spine. He clenched his sword and asked with difficulty. He wasn't afraid of fighting the orcs; they were all visible flesh and blood. But these undead with the soul fire dancing in their eye sockets were really making his mental threshold drop drastically. Especially after learning that these were once vibrant humans who had fought against the darkness, the mental pressure would be even greater!

"Have the dwarves retreat! Mogus! Lead the knights in a charge! Cut off the battlefield!" Roland turned to Mogus, who was following orders, and said. The situation at the Ancient Tomb Ridge required a decisive strike! There was no other way; the mere mention of the Ancient Tomb Ridge made the kings and lords of the North gasp. This thing wasn't as powerful as the lich that could unleash a scourge of the dead, but its destructive power was no less! A walking plague!
"Knights! Charge!" Without saying a word, Mogus led the Fourteenth Legion Knights out. Thanks to the legendary knight training system of the Lagrange Empire, these imperial knights could be commanded by any officer who had received imperial knight training, without any hesitation!

……

"Thunder? Damn it! These undead are wearing our armor! They're as hard as cans!" Thorin muttered as he swung his battle axe at a skeleton. The equipment on these armored skeletons was all high-grade! Often, the skeletons inside would be shattered by the thunder, but the outer armor would remain mostly intact!
"That's a human knight order! Damn it! Why are they charging at us?" Dvalin's pupils contracted and his legs trembled as he spoke. "Glory!" A blinding burst of battle aura erupted, and the entire knight order's battle aura merged into one, like a single "dump truck" rolling towards the battlefield.

"Don't panic! Hold the line! Hold the line!" Thorin shouted decisively. After all, not everyone can remain calm when faced with a speeding "Dagon" coming from behind. But Thorin resolutely chose to trust his intuition and Roland. He probably wouldn't let his knights run over the dwarves... he probably wouldn't...

“Looks like the plan has changed! Let’s get moving too!” Omske glanced at Lavian and nodded.

"Knights of the Bauhinia Cross! Charge! Glory is my life!" Without saying much, Ravian, as the legion commander, took the lead and launched the charge.

As qualified Imperial Knights, having received complete officer training and extensive battlefield command experience, Omske and Lavian could tell the situation at a glance. They didn't need anyone to remind them; they could tell that the old bastard Mogus was trying to divide the battlefield and give it to the dwarves.

"Damn it! These guys are cutting the Great Loop? How can they be so lazy?" Omsk's lips twitched as he watched Mogus lead the Fourteenth Legion's Knights in their charge.

"What do we do, General Omske!" Lavian hesitated. Their tactical maneuver was also a large loop cut, and the simultaneous cut from both sides from two directions greatly increased the likelihood of a collision between the flanks.

"Inside cut! We'll make a small loop!" Omsk was skilled and daring. As a member of the Champion Knights, Omsk was confident that he could lead this inexperienced knights to complete this cover maneuver.

The Imperial Knights' circling tactic refers to knights cutting into the infantry lines of both sides to divide the battlefield, relieving pressure on friendly lines and providing cover for enemy troops. The large circling is primarily used to isolate and eliminate small, remaining enemy units, leaving them for rapid annihilation by infantry. This tactic operates at a considerable radius from the friendly infantry lines. The small circling, also known as the "saving the infantry brothers" tactic, involves elite knightly orders, led by master commanders, aggressively sweeping almost outside the range of friendly infantry lances. This tactic is often used to help infantry escape enemy lines.

"Won't we get overrun by the dwarves?" Ravian's legs tightened; it would be hilarious if the skeletons and dwarven infantry flew up together.
