The magicians' passionate oath comforted me. If the so-called ghost dragon's reputation caused the morale of the magicians and the survivors to drop, then we would know the outcome of this battle without even having to fight. It was just like when I tried to win over that stupid dragon to join us. Unfortunately, the damn lizard ran away without a trace. Could it be that, as I guessed, the bone dragon found in the underground altar in front of the survivors canyon was the father of that stupid dragon

As the magicians and the survivors who were guarding me walked down the castle platform, the survivors on the wall and the magicians on the tower all showed exciting movements. Needless to say, the survivors were already deeply moved by my insistence on fighting with them outside the Canglang defense line, regardless of my own safety. In addition, this action has made them have a blind trust in me.

The magicians on the tower were also very excited. According to the national conditions of the Kingdom of Yann, no matter when, when the battle situation is unfavorable, under normal circumstances, the commanders and senior magicians of the troops will be allowed to carry out the retreat mission in the first batch due to their noble status. Those who stayed behind as scapegoats are undoubtedly those low-level civilian magicians in large numbers. And with my performance in the previous rounds of battle, they have accepted that I am their commander and a super magician. In this case, I still disregard my own safety and insist on sharing the hardships with them, which makes them full of hope for the future. For a while, the whole castle was shrouded in a huge wave of magic power, as if a super forbidden magic was brewing here.

"Enemy attack..." Just as I and several old wizards were carefully inspecting the castle and improving its defenses, a loud and tragic roar, aided by the sound amplification magic, spread throughout the castle. For a moment, everyone in the City of Earth seemed to have transformed into a bloodthirsty demon, constantly baring his fangs.

"The total enemy strength is more than 1.4 million skeleton soldiers, about 300 undead knights, and 11 ghost dragons... The estimated time to reach the defense line is more than half an hour..." As the undead appeared in the distance, the magicians who were specially assigned by me to monitor and count the enemy forces immediately reported the number of undead troops.

"Very good, it seems that they are still ready to resolve the battle with us in one go... Come on, order Special Operations Team 3 to set off immediately and ambush in the bunker ahead. When the Ghost Dragon appears, be sure to delay them so that friendly forces can deal a devastating blow to them. Secondly, let the members of Special Operations Team 2 ambush at our designated location and wait for my orders..." Looking into the distance through the telescope, I observed the movements of the undead army while issuing orders one after another.

"Wait, help me tell our warriors, tell them that the whole kingdom will not forget them, and their families will get everything I promised..." Suddenly, I stopped the herald officer who was about to leave, asked him to convey a short message, and waved to let him leave.

*************************************************** *****************************

"What's going on? Are those magicians of the Kingdom of Yann idiots? I've already told them the number of the undead army, but they're still holding on. Now they only have 10,000 infantrymen. If the undead break into the castle, the elite of the Kingdom of Yann will be completely finished. If they can follow my suggestion and withdraw to the Canglang Line, then we can intercept the undead army at a very low cost by learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses..." Bout, who was standing on the Canglang Line, kept observing and listening to the reports about the troops of the Kingdom of Yann from his subordinates. When he heard that the castle occupied by the Kingdom of Yann was approached by the undead several times, he began to mutter in a low voice.

"Sir, aren't you worrying about them in vain? According to what you said, you have already passed the information about the Undead Army to them, and they can't blame us for what happened afterwards. Since they feel that they can compete with the Undead Army, it is not worth our trouble to worry about them. Anyway, we have had a division of labor before. We are responsible for resisting the Orc Army, and they are responsible for the Undead Army. Now that they have this confidence, I think even if the whole army is wiped out, I don't think it can be blamed on us..." After hearing what Bout said, the guilty William quickly started the conversation and tried to distance himself from the relationship between him and the Yan Kingdom's troops.

"Stupid! Do you think I'm only worried about the safety of the troops of the Kingdom of Yan? Do you know that with our current strength, we had a hard time fighting against the attacks of the orcs in the past few days? And now they have dispatched several times more troops than the day before yesterday. If we are careless, we may be finished. If at this time, the magician troops of the Kingdom of Yan make a little mistake, even if they let go of a very small part of the undead troops... then... then it can be predicted that no one in our troops here will be able to escape..." Bout was extremely disappointed with the ignorance and stupidity of his subordinates.

"grown ups......"

"Stop talking. I'm very tired now and don't want to say much... In addition, mobilize all the reserve troops that can be deployed to me. When the undead army raids the magician troops of the Kingdom of Yan, be ready to attack from the rear and deal a fatal blow to those undead troops..." Waving his hand to stop William from continuing, Bout turned around and prepared to leave.

"Sir, the undead troops are coming again, and their target is still the magician troops of the Kingdom of Yan..." Before Bout could turn around completely, a scout rushed onto the city wall.

"Speak!" Without any hesitation, Bout turned around and immediately urged the scout to continue.

"The Undead Army has 1.4 million skeleton soldiers, more than 3,000 Undead Knights, and more than ten ghost dragons. They are less than half an hour away from the castle of the Kingdom of Yan..." (To be continued)
