In fact, while Firmino sent his men to act as messengers to directly contact the army of the Holy Alliance, in the City of Bauhinia, Schindler's diplomat Allen also approached the opposite diplomatic ambassador Simpson, reported this matter.
It turned out that Simpson didn't believe what Allen said at all, and he was still furious because the Schindlers unilaterally supported Parrott to become the Grand Duke. After Allen came to the door, he sneered and said, "The Schindlers are afraid of the Holy Alliance army that is marching towards Firland, and they are still trying to use this ridiculous excuse to delay time."
Allen couldn't help it.
As for the messenger Firmino sent to the Allied army, the situation was not much better. After the messenger entered the army formation, he couldn't get out.
Firmino didn't know what happened to the men he sent—it was estimated that most of them were detained. Moreover, there was no major change in the situation. The army of the Holy Alliance was still walking step by step into the trap set by the Church of the Damned.
Of course, the general who led the army of the Holy Alliance, a nobleman from the Pudli Kingdom—Viscount Kahn, was not an arrogant and stubborn person. Although he didn't believe the so-called Schindler's messenger, and preferred to think that it was an excuse for the enemy to delay their march, but the caution he had been in the army for many years made him decide to proceed with caution.
On the one hand, he stepped up his efforts to send scouts around, on the other hand, he also expelled some magic spellcasters in the army.
The arcane power of the Holy Alliance is relatively poor, because under the teachings of the Holy See, mages and wizards are not good professions. Although it is not likely to be convicted for mastering arcane arts like in the last century, the entire social environment is obviously not friendly to those who master arcane arts.
On the contrary, it is also because of the existence of the Holy See that priests, priests, paladins, etc., the number of masters of divine arts in the territory of the Holy Alliance, especially in the territory of the Holy Prome New Empire, is higher than that of other countries and countries. There are significantly more regions. And the status of divine spellcasters in the Holy Alliance is also very high, which is not comparable to arcane spellcasters such as mages and warlocks.
In the army of the Holy Alliance, there is a support team composed of three to four hundred priests—this is already much more than the priests of the Sixth Legion in Paland.
Of course, there is not a single mage in their army.
This kind of lame caster team configuration has certain flaws in itself, which is reflected in the team's investigation, that is, there is no way to conduct a comprehensive investigation of various and extremely diverse types of spells. [Zero↑Nine△Small↓Shuo△Net]
Of course, divine spellcasters are still very keen on the perception of negative energy. But it's a pity, since the Church of the Damned prepared such a huge trap to deal with the army of the Holy Alliance, they naturally also considered the possibility that the trap might be found out by the priest.
They do some concealment of the cursed trap.
All of these presided over by a sixteenth-level archmage have very sufficient quality assurance. At least, when there were only three or two kittens among the priests above the tenth level on the opposite side, there was no way to detect them unless they were close to a certain extent and tried their best to detect them.
It's the same even if the negative energy detection method is turned on.
More than two hours passed, and finally, two pastors noticed something, and they sensed that something was wrong.
However, everything has been irreparable. More than half of the army of the Holy Alliance has stepped into the effective range of the curse circle.
Two dark arrows shot out suddenly, killing the two priests. Immediately afterwards, a huge amount of negative energy began to gather, and a dark cloud enveloped the entire army of the Holy Alliance.
The curse circle was launched.
The ground rumbled, and an earthen platform rose out of thin air. The archmage Death Eye stood at the highest end of the earthen platform, leading more than 30 spellcasters of high level to release and gather spells together. On the ground, those buried human corpses that had been massacred before broke through the ground!
They came back from the dead, but they were no longer the humans they used to be.
This is the undead!
Under the effect of the curse circle, more than two thousand corpses were all turned into undead. The corpses treated by black wizards and warlocks, under the addition of the powerful curse circle, turned into undead are not weak.
There are no skeletons, no low-level undead like zombies, and the worst of all resurrected undead are ghouls, which are no less powerful than human elite soldiers. At the same time, among the large number of ghouls, there are still some evolved versions of ghouls—ghosts, and even some undead at the level of black warriors.
Such a force is no longer weak.
Indeed, in people's minds and impressions, the army of the undead always overwhelms their enemies with huge numbers and crowd tactics. From an individual point of view, undead soldiers actually have no advantage when they encounter soldiers of other races of the same level.
To a certain extent, this is true. In history, many times when humans, as well as other races, faced large-scale undead armies, this phenomenon has been generally confirmed in fact.
But this is only a macro view, and it is not necessarily applicable to a single war when it is accurate—for example, this war.
In this ambush, the human army certainly has an absolute advantage in numbers. However, the undead have the upper hand on an individual level.
The ambush that the Church of the Cursed had thoughtfully arranged was not for the purpose of killing the army of the Holy Alliance. Under their careful arrangements, the undead army that was recalled to the world is quite excellent in quality.
The soldiers of the Holy Alliance, in terms of their own quality, may have no big problem fighting two or three skeleton warriors or zombies, but it is a little difficult for them to fight a single ghoul. To be able to single-handedly defeat a ghoul, one has to be the elite of the army.
The advanced version of the ghoul, the ghost, generally has a challenge level of around level four, which already requires the actions of some outstanding non-commissioned officers to be able to deal with it.
As for the Darth Vader... a Darth Vader, at least, can face a normal squad of human soldiers without losing the wind.
The sudden attack of such a team plunged the Holy Alliance into chaos in an instant!
