Afterwards, Huang Shang took this "sister" to many places.
In the camp for the wounded and sick, Huang Shang held the hand of a blind soldier, comforted her personally, and bandaged her wounds.
In the boot camp, Huang Shang and those childish "children" laughed together, and finally sang a passionate song with a simple melody, which made Rodya want to hum along.
In front of the monument to the victims, Huang Shang and Rodya wiped the densely packed names on it.
Near the monument is the crematorium. In order to prevent the bodies from being turned into undead spirits by Arthas, all the dead will be burned here. Their bodies turned into smoke in the blazing fire and slowly rose up, gradually mixing with the smoke from the distant cooking. It was like they were enjoying their last dinner on earth.
Countless ordinary people of all kinds came to the monument and the crematorium, some of them paused briefly, some stayed for a long time, but no one shed tears, and no one despaired.
Finally, Huang Shang brought Rodya to the top of the city wall, where she saw the jaw-dropping flesh and blood steps with her own eyes.
"This is the masterpiece created by your Majesty Arthas in order to capture the fortress." Huang Shang said to Rhodesia who was vomiting crazily, "You can take a closer look at these corpses. Among these corpses, what identity is the most common?"
"Yes, civilians..." said Rhodesia.
"Yes..." Huang Shang said, "In every war, the majority of casualties are always civilians like us. But what I don't know is, among so many civilians, how many actually died of starvation, and how many were deliberately killed."
"Intentional killing, you mean to create undead... That's impossible!" said Rhodesia.
"Is it possible? As a necromancer, you should know better than me." Huang Shang said, "How many citizens were there in the capital Minsk at the beginning of the war? How many were left afterwards? Where did the huge army of the Feruman Empire go before the war started?"
Rodya was stunned
As necromancers, they had of course noticed such clues a long time ago, but they were immersed in the fantasy fabricated by Arthas, constantly deceiving themselves and not thinking about the problem.
"It seems that you know it very well." Huang Shang said with a smile.
"This is... this is a necessary sacrifice..." Rhodesia's voice began to tremble slightly: "In order to realize our ideal world, they are all necessary sacrifices."
"I don't know what necessary sacrifice is. I only know... if sacrifice is forced, then it is not called sacrifice, but murder." Huang Shang said: "Just like your dead parents and relatives, they were all murdered."
With a thud, Rodya fell straight to her knees on the ground, her eyes filled with despair.
Huang Shang said: "If Arthas really wanted to create the so-called ideal world he talked about, why would he attack us? Isn't it good for us to live in peace and produce our own products?"
Rhodesia was completely stunned, and tears instantly flowed from her eyes.
Chapter 202: Watch at Dawn (Additional updates in March with recommended votes)
In the early morning, the sound of the horn once again resounded throughout the world. All living things were disturbed by the shrill sound, and then they began to fight each other fiercely.
This time, Arthas once again deployed all the elite troops of the demon clan to attack the city. Seeing that the steps were only a few feet away from the city wall, all the demon clan soldiers went crazy.
Huang Shang and his soldiers stood firmly at the front.
She looked at the demon soldiers rushing forward like a tide, and said to the soldiers behind her: "Today will be our last battle. As long as we can hold on to these corpses, then when the sun rises the next day, it will be our victory! Long live Aurora!"
"Long live Orilla!"
"Long live the Union of Vienna!"
"Long live the Union of Vienna!"
"Long live life!"
"Long live life!"
Boom boom boom boom!
The artillery began to roar, and countless undead souls surged up from the steps, but were swept away by the artillery in an instant. Among them were also many demon warriors hiding among the undead.
However, no matter how powerful the artillery was, it could not withstand the surging waves of corpses. The undead quickly reached the top of the stairs, then fell down and became part of the stairs. The demons mixed in with them took the opportunity to jump up and started fighting with the soldiers on the wall.
With the cover of the undead, a large number of demons climbed onto the city wall and began to fight with the soldiers above.
This time, the demons' attack finally paid off. They used their own flesh and blood to tear open the defenses on the city wall and barely gained a foothold. Although the fire brigade would soon arrive and push down the city wall again, it must be said that such repeated tug-of-war had a great impact on the firepower on the city wall.
The fluctuation of firepower brought more undead souls to the flesh and blood steps.
The battle lasted until the evening, when the bloody steps were finally completed. An undead took a step and stood directly on the city wall, although it was quickly beaten into a pulp by an orc.
However, it is a symbol. It means that the soldiers on the top of the city wall will directly face the surging undead below. The city wall has become a decoration.
Soon, the first group of undead climbed onto the city wall. Although their individual strength was not strong, their numbers were too large. At this time, the demons had quietly withdrawn from the battlefield, leaving all the battles to the undead.
The entire city wall was filled with fighting, and it was extremely brutal.
Humans, orcs, trolls, eagle warriors, elves.
These races, which were originally either enemies or friends, are now all united together to fight against their enemies.
Before we knew it, night had come again.
Night is the enemy of every life.
The dark environment put a lot of pressure on the soldiers on the wall, but they did not back down and continued to stick to their posts. When they finally couldn't hold on any longer, the reserve team rushed over, and all the soldiers who could fight were mobilized to use their flesh and blood to block the attack of the undead.
The military camp of the Feruman Empire.
Arthas thought that when the flesh and blood ladder was completed, Orilager would fall. However, he did not expect that the enemy would hold on for several hours and had not been completely conquered until now.
"What are these lunatics holding on to? Even if they can hold out for another hour or two, what good will that do? Can they hold on for a day or two?" Arthas asked Lilith beside him anxiously, and then said, "How many times have you been to Vienna? Tell us what these lunatics in Orila City believe in.
Which god could allow them to burst out with such powerful strength? "
"God..." Lilith frowned, then said: "As far as I know, the city of Aurora doesn't seem to believe in any gods. If I must say, the devil?"
"Impossible! The demon god has long been dead!" Arthas said, "They must have believed in some other evil god! Otherwise, how could an army without any faith burst out with such powerful strength?"
"Your Majesty, I need to correct one thing... They do not believe in God. But that does not mean they have no faith at all." Lilith said, "Just like our demon warriors."
"How is this possible? On what basis do they do that? I don't believe it..." Arthas said, "By the way, although you have been to the Holy Roll Empire many times, you have only stayed in Vienna each time, not in Aurora City! So you don't know the details of those lunatics, and you don't know which evil god Fran is trading with."
"I hope it's what you think." Lilith bowed calmly.
"Damn it! Pass my order! Let all the undead charge forward at all costs! Charge into the enemy's fortress and extend the battlefield to the entire fortress!"
"Yes!" Lilith said, and then walked towards the open space behind the tent.
The next moment, the undead suddenly gave up fighting with the soldiers on the wall, and jumped down into the wall without hesitation. This reduced the pressure on the soldiers on the wall. However, before they had time to catch their breath, they found that the undead slowly stood up from the ground.
Bang bang bang.
More and more undead jumped into the fortress.
Many undead were smashed to pieces as they fell, but more undead stood up from the ground, wielding simple weapons and killing all living things they could see.
"Everyone on alert! Everyone on alert!"
Huang Shang's eyes widened and he began to roar, followed by a huge bell that rang throughout the fortress.
This is the most serious warning sound in Olilagler.
When the bell rings, it means that the entire Orilagle will become a battlefield, and there will no longer be a distinction between inside and outside the city walls.
"Lady Fran, Miss Christina, let me escort you out of the city. No matter what, you should go back to Orila City first." After hearing the bell, Catherine, the personal bodyguard, immediately said to Fran.
"No need." Fran took out her big hammer and said, "If this place is really broken, it doesn't matter where I go. It's better to hold on here for a while. Sister, let's go outside together!"
"Okay! Sister, we haven't fought side by side for a long time. Let's fight to our heart's content this time!" Christina also stood up, and surging spiritual energy burst out from her body.
"If this is what the city lord wants!" Catherine half-knelt on the ground and said, "We will stand together with the city lord!"
"Hold up the flag of Orila City, and let's charge together!" Fran said as she pushed open the door of the command room and launched an attack on the undead that entered the fortress.
However, at this moment, Fran suddenly discovered that there was a ray of light in the distant sky.
The sun is about to rise.
This chapter is an additional chapter for the recommendation votes in March. Thank you.
Chapter 203 Raid
"These bastards! They haven't surrendered yet! The fortress has fallen! This is impossible!" Arthas said in astonishment. "Once I conquer the city of Aurora, I will find out who the evil god that Fran believes in is! And then wipe out everything about him from this world."
"As you wish, Your Majesty."
"Where are the demons? Where are my demon warriors? Where are they now?" Arthas said, "Order them to carry up the siege weapons. Although catapults are much inferior to their firearms, they will definitely be the last straw that breaks the camel's back."
"You sent all the demon warriors to besiege the fortress to prevent Margaret and Fran from escaping." Lilith said, "Now there are only those Feruman soldiers around. Should we send all the guards out?"
Arthas hesitated for a while, but finally said, "Send them out! They can't attack me at this time."
However, at this moment, several demon soldiers rushed in in panic.
"What happened that makes you so panicked?" Arthas took a look at the demon's attire, then suddenly realized something and shouted, "Weren't you sent to guard the Undead Array? Why are you here?"
"Your Majesty, a cavalry attacked us! I survived with my secret technique." The demon soldier said, "They, they seem to know our secret."
"Impossible!" Arthas's face showed a trace of panic: "How could they know about the Undead Array?"
However, at this time, Lilith returned in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, bad news. The other four undead magic circles seem to have lost connection. We are trying to reconnect, but there has been no response from the other side."
“Lost contact…” Arthas’ eyes widened: “They, they really know the secret of the undead!”
"They? Do you mean Fran?" Lilith asked.
"Yes." Arthas said, "Otherwise why would they attack the Undead Array at this critical moment!"
"Your Majesty, don't panic!" Lilith said, "Our main formation is still there, and with the energy in the undead formation, it can last at least ten hours. It will be useless for them to break through the other four. When the energy of the main formation is completely consumed, the fortress in front of us will probably be broken!"
"Yes! You are right. Now send all those demon soldiers back and have them guard the undead formation firmly. As long as this place is still there, they will have no hope of turning the tables."
"As you command!"
Just as Lilith finished her words, a series of horn sounds came from afar.
The sound was vigorous and rich, completely different from the harsh horn sound of Arthas.
"This is..." Arthas pushed away the soldier in front of him and rushed out of the tent.
Behind him, a cavalry appeared on the horizon.
"This is the cavalry of the Habsburg Principality!" Arthas looked at the flag in the distance and shouted, "Assemble the troops! Everyone assemble! Prepare to resist the cavalry charge."
However, before he could finish his words, a large number of flags appeared in another place in the same direction. This time they belonged to the cavalry of Orila City.
Before Arthas could be surprised, fierce drumbeats sounded on their flanks. Then groups of fully armed, tall warriors appeared. They were all orc troops.
"This... this is impossible! Why would the orcs' troops appear here!" Arthas said, "The nobles of the Roel people told me that the Orc Empire only sent 2,000 troops! Why would there be a new troop here?"
The leader of this beast tribe army is none other than Fran's chief steward Feuerbach!
When he learned that Orila City was in trouble, he immediately returned to Calradia with his trained men. However, he did not immediately go to the front line, but instead purged the orc soldiers and workers stationed in Bieson Port and eventually formed such a force.
"attack!"
"attack!"
"attack!"
The three armies launched an attack on Arthas at the same time.
The soldiers responsible for guarding the Arthas military camp were all from the Feruman Empire. After the Feruman army was "annihilated", the newly recruited troops were all recruited from Minsk, and such an army had basically no combat effectiveness.
Although their numbers far outnumbered the cavalry that came to attack, this numerical advantage did not give them much confidence. When the iron hoofs were close to them, the spearmen in the front row collapsed at a rapid speed. They dropped their weapons in fear and fled in all directions.
Even if some soldiers did not collapse, a series of gunshots quickly broke down their fragile psychological defenses. Feruman's infantry phalanx was overwhelmed by the cavalry in an instant. The soldiers dropped their weapons, some hugged their heads, and some pretended to be dead.
Fortunately, these cavalrymen were not interested in slaughtering these defenseless soldiers. Their weapons were pointed directly at Arthas's central camp, because there was a large array of undead hidden by the necromancer. Only by destroying it could all the undead be completely killed.
Arthas had obviously anticipated that, and without saying a word he led his troops directly to the location of the undead formation, ready to defend to the death.
The Habsburg cavalry soon fought with his guards. However, he forgot that in addition to the Habsburg cavalry, there were two other reinforcements.
Although the Orilla cavalry was far inferior to the Habsburg Principality in terms of armor and horse combat skills, they were equipped with sufficient firearms. After repeated advances, they completely destroyed the flank of the guarding undead formation. This put Arthas in danger. He frequently moved the battle to another place in an attempt to save the precarious defense line.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the demon army that was besieging Orila Gler in the distance had already rushed over here at the fastest speed, and the remaining undead also came to the direction of the undead formation. However, at this time, the orc army led by Feuerbach suddenly came from the side, and Heng Geng was in front of them.
The orc troops wearing armor were simply killers of the undead! The power of the undead was simply no match for this steel monster, and they were directly crushed by the orcs' weapons. The demon troops were too far away from here, and there was no time to rush to the battlefield to support them.
Finally, teams of cavalry broke through the encirclement and attacked the undead formation. Duke Habsburg raised his hammer high and smashed the stone slab on the ground, completely breaking the undead formation.
Olila Gleh in the distance.
Huang Shang was attacked by more than a dozen undead. She held a sword with many holes in it and smashed the heads of the undead again and again. She felt that there was very little spiritual energy left in her body, and her limbs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
However, at this moment, the undead around her suddenly froze and then fell to the ground together.
