Chapter 70 - Fighting the Undead General

Grand General Gris was a bit surprised at the mysterious silver haired man's reply, but he was relieved inwardly. 'This man's iddntity is unfathomable and he should be much stronger than me for being able to hide his aura against everyone here. If I am right, then this man's help will impact the war greatly.'

"I, Gris, Grand General of Famrit Empire invites you to join us in war honored sir." Grand General Gris glanced expectantly at Cale. The latter smiled and nodded his head twice. "It is my honor to join the Grand General and the bravest warriors of Famrit Empire in the war against the Undead Army."

Grand General Gris' expression eased considerably, he then stretched out his right hand towards Cale who shook it lightly.

Grand General Gris then turned towards the soldiers of Famrit Empire and shouted in a loud voice. His expression warped into menace and savagery. "My brothers, for the glory of Famrit Empire! Kill!"

The soldiers of Famrit Empire raised their swords and shouted at the top of their lungs.

"For the glory of Famrit Empire! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The murderous air suddenly became so thick that most of the average warriors would definitely feel suffocated. 

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

***

Southern parts of Famrit Empire.

"General Vishnu, more than half of our brothers have been killed! I suggest we retreat for now!" A soldier fearfully said as he watched their vanguard slowly being decimated by the Undead Army.

General Vishnu gritted his teeth after seeing his soldiers die one by one. He then grabbed the shield of one of his men and shouted valiantly. "Soldiers of Famrit Empire! Don't cower in fear! Reinforcements are on their way! All we needed to do is hold back the enemies until they arrive! I will lead the defense personally! Charge with me! For the glory of Famrit Empire! Kill!"

The downcast expressions of the soldiers regained a trace of hope. Their faces now contained their usual savagery and fearlessness as they followed General Vishnu's gallant charge.

"Die you filthy beings!" 

"Die you bastards!"

With their boosted morale, the soldiers of Famrit Empire was able to maintain a deadlock with the Undead Army. 

"Shit! Their numbers are becoming more and more even after killing a lot of them. We can't hold on for long! Fuck!" A soldier said in exhaustion and fatigue, but then he saw the valiant General Vishnu surrounded by more than several dozen undead soldiers. He saw their General slaying the undeads like a raging tornado. No one could even get near him as they would instantly be slain under his sword. 

The scene made the soldier's blood boil with excitement. He then charged towards the enemies like a madman and ignored the cuts he sustained. He hacked the undeads with his newfound energy, but he later succumbed after more than twenty Undead Soldiers attacked him from all sides.

After another thirty minutes, they were again pushed back by the undeads' growing number. General Vishnu was also getting more fatigued and his movements are becoming stiffer and slower. 

"Grand General Gris, this is the only thing I can do for you. Make sure to avenge my death."

General Vishnu dropped his shield and supported himself with his sword. 

He hacked an approaching undead soldier in half and stood unsteadily, but his eyes still contained fearlessness. He then saw a tall undead, about four meters in height. The giant undead was holding two massive swords as it glared balefully at the human soldiers. 

General Vishnu pulled out his sword and roared angrily like an injured lion unafraid of death.

"Kill!!"

He charged towards the Undead General after barely evading its slash. He then used the remainder of his strength and slashed the undead with all his might.

"Aaahhh!" 

"Puchi!" The slash left a deep line of wound on the Undead General's body, but the undead did not even flich as it swatted General Vishnu away.

The latter was thrown several meters away and tumbled on the ground like a broken doll. He then stabbed his sword on the ground and stood up with great difficulty. His hands and legs were trembling involuntarily as he glared at the undead charging his way. He produced a weary smile and closed his eyes while waiting for the undead to slash him.

"Goodbye my Famrit Empire."

"Claanngg!" A loud sound of two metals hitting each other resounded in front of him. He then opened his eyes and saw a silver haired man blocking the four meter undead's sword slash with his heavy sword. The silver haired man then pushed the undead back by swatting it's sword away. 

"Retreat now! Leave this guy to me!" The silver haired man glanced briefly at General Vishnu with mysterious smile on his face. The latter felt cold after seeing the silver haired man's smile. It was like the smile of a demon who saw its prey. General Vishnu's hair stood on end and he just nodded his head in response to the silver haired man's words.

Cale turned his head and stared greedily at the Undead General.

"My x2 Origin Essence Bundle, here I come!"

Cale charge towards the Undead General while pointing his sword towards it. The Undead General was angered by the audacity of the human in front of him and it slashed both its gigantic swords towards Cale. The air produced a whistling sound as the Undead General slashed his swords. Cale jumped in midair to avoid the sword slashes and dived towards the Undead General while aiming his heavy sword towards its head. 

The Undead General blocked the attack by raising its giant sword up.

"Claaang!"

Cale summersaulted in midair and and landed on the ground gracefully, but his expression is one of utter shock. 'This Undead General actually has the strength of a peak stage Emperor-Class level?!'
