Chapter 20 - The Battle of Langford

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

Everything had happened too suddenly, and Alberta was caught off guard.

He could no longer ignore the undead army under Hall.

“Jeffrey, Evelyn, come to my office!”

“It seems that our enemies are not just the undead army from the Dark Eternal Domain in the North.”

“From today onwards, we will need to strengthen our defense against the undead army under Hall in the East as well!”

Back in the office.

“We don’t know anything about the undead forces in the East, so do you have any way to obtain information about them?”

This question stopped the two of them because there was no way to investigate the situation in the East at all.

During this period of time, due to the invasion of the undead army from the North, they had been extremely busy. They did not expect Mehionnes and Mediarudy to fall so quickly.

This was because the total population around the two cities was only around 600,000.

The number of soldiers that had fallen was estimated to have reached 100,000. If it were not for the fact that the two cities had already fallen, the undead army from the East would not have a chance to attack the territory of the Earl of Langford at all.

After concluding their deductions, the three of them began to assemble and dispatch soldiers for the East.

Previously, the North had relied entirely on the soldiers of the Alberta and William family. This time, Alex Evelyn finally had no excuse to refuse.

He immediately mobilized 200,000 soldiers from the Southeast directly to the territory of the Alex Family!

The total number of soldiers including those under Alberta was now around 400,000.

However, Alex’s actions made the new emperor, Alberta, feel very uncomfortable!

“With the 400,000 soldiers you’ve sent, there’s no way you can resist the undead army in the East!”

“You have to know that the two towns have a total population of over 600,000.”

“If all these people all get converted, then we’ll have to face over 500,000 undead!”

“There’s no way we can fight against them with just these 400,000 soldiers!” Alberta became more and more agitated as he spoke. He kept slapping the table and shouting at Alex.

However, Alex wasn’t listening to all these at all. He did not plan on sending more troops.

After all, their enemies were not only coming from the East and the North. Even the Duchy of St. Margaret in the West was no longer providing them with assistance.

Therefore, Alex Evelyn could only try his best to preserve his troops. In this chaotic situation in the future, he could ensure that his city would not be invaded.

“What can I do?”

“You know the Fergus Empire as well. As well as the other five cities that had originally belonged to the Fergus Empire.”

“They haven’t developed well in the past hundred years at all!”

“The total number of people in these five cities is just as many as the number of people in my family who manage the cities!”

“If we have already used up all the troops in our hands now, no one knows what we will face in the future!”

“So now I will try my best to maintain my military might!”

After listening to Alex’s words, Alberta completely understood one thing. This person had never considered the future of the empire.

He was just a chess piece in his hands!

Helpless, Alberta could only drop the soldiers from the northern defense line to the East and gather a total of 600,000 soldiers.

Only then did the general of the Empire lead these soldiers to attack the territory of the Earl of Langford in the East of the empire.

Seeing the numerous and mighty human soldiers not far from the city, Willis immediately realized that something was wrong.

He quickly sent the news of the approaching human army to Hall.

“600,000?”

“What a huge number!”

“I wouldn’t be able to fight back at all previously!”

“But the situation is different now!”

Hall’s undead army numbered around 200,000 soldiers. The reason it was so small was that Hall had used the lives of about 150,000 humans to create a cursed weapon!

He had also strengthened his generals and created a few barriers to block out the sun.

After thinking, Hall quickly asked a banshee next to him to call Landel over.

Landers immediately came to Hall. “Supreme Lord, do you have any orders for me?”

“The territory of the Earl of Langford in the East had been conquered by Willis some time ago.”

“He has also finished building a defensive fortress there.”

“But the biggest problem now is that we only have a total of over 200,000 troops, while the general and emperor has already sent out 600,000 human soldiers!”

“In order to reduce the pressure on Willis, from today onwards, you will head West to Langford to help out Willis!”

After hearing Hall’s words, Landel immediately turned into a beam of black light and disappeared from the castle.

However, Hall was not at ease at this time. After all, the Fergus Empire had sent so many soldiers.

Thus, he took over total control of his castle and flew the entire castle towards the mountains to the West of Blue Orchid Fox City, just in case any accidents happened during the war.

All the undead armies were working closely. In just a few days, 200,000 undead soldiers had arrived at the western defensive city.

This time, the undead armies were different from before. All the armies were fully equipped.

There were also fireballs, cannons, and other defensive weapons on top of the city walls.

These weapons came from the people of Mehionnes.

Although these humans had become prisoners, Yamane, who was also a human, knew that the humans could do many things that skeleton soldiers and zombies could not.

With the help of his younger brother and sister, Yamane started managing the 100,000 people in Mehionnes in an orderly manner.

In just a month’s time, the entire undead army was outfitted with perfect military equipment. There was no longer a need to fight for equipment from the enemy.

The adventurer Benedict Smith had just returned to the imperial capital of Fox City. It was not long before he sent the news to Alberta.

However, he was immediately scolded by the new emperor for not using Asuma’s magic communication device to report this matter!

After receiving the information, Alberta was relieved. He mobilized another 100,000 soldiers from the Asuma defense line and set off towards the East.

He wanted to use his absolute strength to take down the entire Eastern continent!

Only then would he have enough power to fight against the William family and the Alex family after this war!

However, he had underestimated how powerful Hall’s undead army was.. Even if they had sent out 700,000 elite soldiers, all they would do is provide more soldiers for the undead!
