What's wrong with building a steel torrent in a dungeon?

This map clearly marked his army, very accurately, including the stock of his own sacred tree leaves and the remaining amount of food. If the enemy attacked him next, he would not be able to resist at all. As long as the enemy did so, he would have no chance of survival even if he tried his best.

Sex.

The only chance of being rescued is that his grandfather's reinforcements can fly to the battlefield with wings and rescue him.

However, at such a critical moment, the other party's envoy actually handed the map to him openly. What does this mean?

Could it be that……

Does this messenger want to abandon the dark and join the elves?!

If that was the case, everything made sense. After all, the elves were the number one continent in the world, and they were never stingy with those who voluntarily surrendered.

Thinking of this, Elendil couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

If there is an insider in the enemy's center, it is not far-fetched for them to open a gap on their own.

So Elendil immediately said, "Let the messenger in! Pay attention to your attitude! Please let him in."

Not long after, a man, surrounded by guards, walked in front of Elendil.

"Please allow me to introduce myself." The man said, "My name is Zhu Chongba, the deputy commander of the Second Legion of Orila City, from the Pig Clan."

A pig clan?

Ai'alendil looked at the handsome and tall man in front of him with a little disbelief.

You have to know that in the inherent impression of the elves, monsters are dirty and uncivilized, and pigs are the worst of the worst. Some elves even imagine them as the penned pigs in reality.

"Hello, deputy commander!" El'Arundil coughed twice, then immediately put on the proud look of an elf and said, "I know your intention very well! There is an old saying among the elves that a man who knows the times is a hero. As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we will not treat you unfairly."

"Haha, it seems that General doesn't understand why I'm here." Zhu Chongba smiled and said.

"What? Aren't you here to surrender?"

"Surrender..." Zhu Chongba was embarrassed for a moment, then said: "General, you are such a joke. In this situation, if it were you, would you surrender?"

The scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Zhu Chongba smiled and said, "I came here this time just to inform the general that our troops are preparing to withdraw and you can leave on your own."

"Withdraw? Leave?" Elendil was stunned.

"Yes." Zhu Chongba told everything about the undead and the demons. The elves present opened their mouths in surprise and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The elves were completely wiped out and Margaret was in danger.

The war is over! But it was not ended by either side, because a more terrible war overturned the entire situation.

"This... how is it possible?" Elendil murmured, obviously unable to accept this fact for a moment.

But it’s no wonder that they showed such expressions, because the turning point of reality is too huge.

Some officers below clearly didn't believe this at all. An elf immediately stood up and said, "General! This might be a fraud. Maybe they deliberately let us down and lied about the whole process."

"I think you have all seen the map just now." Zhu Chongba said: "If we really want to defeat your army, why do we have to take such a roundabout way..."

"Humph! Maybe you just want to cut your losses! Who knows..."

"Okay, generals of the spirits." Zhu Chongba interrupted him directly, and then said, "I am not here to convince you this time, I am just here to inform you. It is up to you to decide whether to believe it or not. If you don't believe it, you can hide here forever. Of course, whether those undead will come to you or not is up to you.

, that is your business.”

As he spoke, Zhu Chongba walked to the front of the map and said, "We have stored a lot of supplies here and in the several major garrisons here. If I'm not mistaken, your army is already short of food. You can take all of it when you leave. By the way, I would like to remind you that the entire south bank of the Soul-Guiding River is now full of

It's best not to go in that direction."

"So where are we going?"

"The most reliable retreat plan now is to go all the way southwest to the Holy Roel Empire, then cross the south to the Lombardy Alliance, and finally retreat to the Elf Continent from the port there." Zhu Zhongba said: "Of course I know that you will obviously not believe me easily now, so I am just pointing this road to you. If

If the future is truly surrounded by the army of the undead, you know which way to go.”

"Are you really going to retreat? Let us out?" Elendil still didn't quite believe it and asked tentatively.

"It's not preparation, but we have already done it. If the general is willing to send a few scouts to test it, you will know that what I said is not a lie." Zhu Chongba said: "We did this not because we want to make peace with your army, but because we don't want to further increase the number of undead. The number of living people is limited, and

The dead are coming in droves. We must preserve every bit of our strength.”

"Then why don't you retreat with us?" an officer said, "You are the deputy commander of the corps."

"It is precisely because I am the deputy commander that I have to stay." Zhu Chongba said: "The Undead Army will sooner or later attack the Holy Roel Empire. We must have a force to go deep behind enemy lines to understand the enemy's intelligence, the number of Undead, reinforcements and movements!"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

To be honest, not everyone present has the courage to stay after knowing that the other party is an undead. In other words, the elves haven't had to make a life-or-death decision for a long time.

"Okay everyone, I'm leaving now! Good luck to everyone!"

After saying this, Zhu Chongba saluted and left in a hurry without waiting for the elves to say anything else.

Sorry, I was out for something today and came back late. (I forgot to post the QA Q on schedule again)

Chapter 175 Deception

Boom boom boom!

Dense artillery fire continuously bombarded the 'troops' in front, and the shells shot out horizontally, directly turning a row of 'soldiers' into a pile of flesh and blood. The effect was surprisingly good.

If such lethality were placed in an ordinary army, the soldiers would have collapsed and fled long ago, but the enemy was still marching forward slowly.

This is the power of the undead.

They know no fatigue, nor fear.

The gunners on the high ground are in despair

Everywhere they looked was a sea of ​​soldiers, as far as the eye could see. Although the shells created a long corridor of death every time, this corridor was quickly filled up again, as if the shells had fallen into the sea, without a sound.

"Captain, the enemy is about to come in, we must retreat!"

Catalina nodded and said, "Notify the people below to prepare to retreat to the last line of defense. And by the way, plant the flags of His Majesty and the Principality of Habsburg on the high ground."

"As you command!"

The soldiers of the Holy Roll Empire immediately retreated and reached the top of the hill. Behind them was the rolling Soul-Guiding River, and on both sides of the river, there were only undead as far as the eye could see.

In other words, they were completely surrounded.

Thinking of this, every soldier showed a look of despair, but when they saw the two flags flying on the hill, their morale was barely boosted.

The last 300 men of the Fifth Legion all squeezed onto a narrow hill, and relying on the advantage of the high ground, they kept shooting downwards in an attempt to slow down the advance of the Undead Army. Unfortunately, such a small amount of firepower was tantamount to a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

As dusk gradually fell, the army of undead had surrounded the foot of the hill, so close that the soldiers of the Holy Roll Empire could even smash the enemy's heads with stones.

But at this moment, the undead army actually stopped.

Then a figure familiar to Catalina appeared.

He was the emperor of the Feruman Empire, Arthas, and next to him was the inseparable messenger, Lilith.

Catalina saw this and said to Margaret's adjutant: "The other party wants to negotiate, go and get His Majesty's clothes."

"it is good!"

Catalina changed into Queen Margaret's clothes and appeared on the battlefield.

"We meet again, Your Majesty Margaret."

Due to the distance and the dim light at dusk, Arthas did not recognize Margaret's true face at once.

After hearing this, the adjutant answered on behalf of Margaret: "Your Majesty, Arthas, you are so treacherous that you dare to come out to see our Majesty?"

"Your Majesty Margaret, if I don't do this, how can you, who is so proud, talk to me calmly?" Arthas said sinisterly: "I think you should be very clear about your current situation. No one can save you now. If you want to survive, there is only one way, to surrender to the Feruman Empire and be loyal to me."

The adjutant was about to reject her with the most vehement words, but Catalina stopped him and whispered, "Delay time. The longer we are stuck here, the higher the chance of your Majesty's survival."

The adjutant nodded and said, "This is a big deal. Please allow us to think about it!"

"Okay! I have plenty of time. Take your time to think about it." After hearing this, Arthas' face immediately showed joy.

Margaret's temper was well known to everyone in Calradia. It would be harder than climbing to heaven to make her surrender.

That's why Arthas wanted to use this method to force Margaret to submit.

So he continued to strike while the iron was hot and said, "You also know that since I became the emperor, I have never appointed a queen! If you sincerely surrender to me... I am willing to make you the only queen of the Feruman Empire! Don't you like to lead troops? By then, you will have more troops and will be able to rule a much larger area than the Holy Roel Empire.

A wider territory! In the future, our common flag will fly over the Elf Empire and the Dwarf Empire. Isn't this more powerful than being a small emperor of the Holy Roel Empire?"

Bah! Shameless!!

The adjutant's face turned green when he heard this. He actually wanted Margaret to be the queen of this man who obviously had kidney deficiency!

But thinking of Margaret who was breaking out on the southern front, the adjutant still suppressed his discomfort and said, "Your Majesty said your proposal is very tempting! But marriage is also a big deal! She needs to think carefully! I hope Your Majesty can give us enough time."

"Hahaha! I still say the same thing." Arthas was delighted, and then said: "You have enough time to think."

The artillery on the battlefield temporarily stopped firing, and the undead stood in line without making any sound. The huge battlefield was full of fighting atmosphere, but both sides were completely silent. This atmosphere was weird no matter how you looked at it.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the dusk deepened. The elongated shadows stretched from the east bank of the Soul-Guiding River to the west bank, following the sun and slowly falling towards the horizon.

The soldiers of the Holy Roll Empire looked at the gradually disappearing light, their faces filled with sorrow.

They knew this might be the last time they saw the sun.

But then, their faces were filled with determination again.

The Fifth Legion is composed of elite troops carefully selected from the Principality of Habsburg.

The Habsburg troops never gave up!

Although Arthas said he would wait patiently, seeing that Margaret did not respond, an anxious look gradually appeared on his face.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little regretful. He should have given a deadline. But he was afraid that Margaret would be pushed too far and make her fight to the death. In the end, he could only calm down and continue to wait.

But at this moment, a man dressed as a scout of the Feruman Empire hurried over and whispered a few words to him.

"What did you say? The First Legion is breaking out to the south? Margaret is there too?" Arthas was stunned, then asked, "Whose army is this?"

"This is the Fifth Legion!" the scout said, "Your Majesty, we have fallen into a trap. The commander of the Fifth Legion launched a mutiny, knocked Margaret unconscious and imprisoned her, and then disguised himself as the commander of the First Legion in an attempt to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"Asshole!" Arthas was furious, and then he shouted to the front: "Humph! Katarina! Are you on top?"

Catalina realized that she could no longer hide it, so she asked the adjutant next to her, "Are all the things ready?"

The adjutant nodded!

After receiving a positive answer, Catalina tore off Margaret's clothes and threw them aside, then said, "It seems that our little trick cannot be hidden from the wise Majesty Arthas!"

"You bastard!!" Arthas's face was twisted with anger. He pointed to the sky and said, "Do you see this sunset? This is the sunset of you humans!!"

The adjutant smiled and replied, "So what if the sun sets? It will rise again eventually! We are fighting desperately now to make the sun that belongs to mankind rise again! Warriors of the Habsburg family! Tonight, we will have dinner together in hell!"

"Roar!!" The soldiers raised their weapons in unison.

"Attack! Attack! Kill everyone!" Arthas roared.

The undead, which had been silent, raised its head again and walked slowly towards the hill.

Chapter 176 You Can't Die

The sound of artillery fire started again.

This time, the soldiers of the Holy Roel Empire no longer held back, and they unleashed all the firepower they could. Some soldiers pulled out their muskets and fired frantically, while the remaining soldiers used bows and arrows, stones, and various other methods to kill the dead.

Despite doing so, they did not delay the undead army even a step.

Soon the undead had crossed half the height of the hill, where the soldiers of the Holy Roel Empire set up a temporary defense line, and the two sides started a fierce battle halfway up the hill. However, the undead soon broke through the simple defense line and surged towards the last hill.

At the moment of life and death, everyone is preparing for the final battle.

However, at this moment, the adjutant turned to Catalina and said, "Commander, I need to confess something. I secretly deployed a small boat under the hill without telling you."

"You want me to run away?" Catalina smiled faintly, then said, "Do you think I will agree?"

"You are always calm," the adjutant said, "so you should know that you must survive and return to Vienna. Because only in this way can you let the entire Holy Rohr Empire know your 'crime'. Otherwise, if you die on the battlefield, there is no guarantee that someone will doubt the previous mutiny, right?"

Katrina fell silent.

"Your Majesty must not have committed any crime. She must be innocent! And only your survival can guarantee this. You should not die here, you should die in the Holy Roel Empire, die on the execution ground, and be executed as the culprit of rebellion and abandonment of the army!"

"Your plan is really cruel to me."

"This is your plan." The adjutant smiled and said, "I just improved it a little bit."
