Chapter 533: The Collapse of the Western Front

Views:

Pudry's situation is indeed much worse than that of the Grip of the Iron Horse.

In fact, it's normal to think about it. In the grip of the iron horse, but with the three main armies of Schindler, it is possible to gain a certain advantage in the battle against the undead. As far as Pudley's strength is concerned, the strength of the undead they have to face is no worse than the undead army in front of the Iron Horse Grip.

In fact, all in all, it is they themselves who do not live up to expectations.

If Pudri's military mobilization had been more efficient and he could have kept the undead army out of the country from the very beginning, how would the situation be as bad as it is now

Look, the undead army that has invaded the Puderry Kingdom has become the largest one among the three places currently attacked by the undead natural disaster.

Obviously, the undead army that invaded Pudri at the beginning was only 2,000; even if you count the undead army that came out of the fir collar to support it later, it was nothing more than 20,000.

but now? The army of undead in front of Prince Eastman has already exceeded 50,000!

It's only half a month, less than a month!

The extra 30,000 undead are naturally Pudry's "own people".

A large number of civilians were massacred and eventually transformed into this mindless monster.

In fact, the occupied area of the Pudli Kingdom originally had a population of at least 500,000. But now, among the 500,000 people, more than 100,000 people have been slaughtered, and the remaining living people are being slaughtered.

It's not that the civilians didn't try to resist, organizing militias, gathering adventurers... These methods have slowed down the speed at which civilians were massacred to a certain extent.

But it's only slowing down. Without a large-scale and organized army, it is impossible to save these civilians.

They can only rely on themselves and try their best to leave the occupied area and return to a safe area. But how easy is this? Those who can really escape are very few, and most of them will be targeted by the undead during the escape process, and then there will be a massacre.

While pressing on Prince Eastman's troops, the army of undead continued to slaughter civilians and transform soldiers. And this, in turn, made Pudri's army even worse.

On August 6th, the undead army launched a full-scale offensive against Prince Eastman's army, and the result was a complete victory.

This is not the first time Pudry's regiment has failed.

In the past half a month, Eastman has assembled almost most of the regular military forces of the Pudley Kingdom, and has received reinforcements from two countries, Schindler and Victoria, and the number of troops in his hand has reached five. After tens of thousands of people, he once tried to launch an attack on the undead who invaded the kingdom.

But he failed.

Before they could lick their wounds, the troops of the undead launched a counterattack against them.

As a result, the human army retreated.

Those two battles took place near the end of July. Eastman's army lost more than 10,000 people, and the front line was pushed back 60 kilometers before it regained stability.

And those two battles also pushed the Pudley Kingdom to the bottom - you know, don't worry where Eastman's legion is stationed now, there is only a distance of more than a hundred kilometers away from the Silver Capital.

It can be said that at the end of July and the beginning of August, the army of undead might threaten the safety of the Silver City at any time.

Queen Susan Bella, who was already impatient, became even more anxious at this time.

Bringing up the old matter again, her envoy found Dane again.

This time, the conditions proposed by Susan Bella were even more enticing.

However, Dane still failed to promise them.

Then there was Eastman's defeat on August 6th.

It was only a week later. When the third war broke out between Pudry's army and the undead, Eastman could no longer control the situation. His troops fought fiercely with the undead army for three days, and were defeated across the board again.

This time, more than 20,000 fighters in the Pudry Army were lost in the battle. Eastman himself was seriously injured and unconscious. The Kingdom Legion lost all its defensive areas and was pushed forward by the undead army for a distance of more than 100 kilometers.

The undead have already attacked the city of Silver and White!

But at this moment, in the silver and white capital, Queen Susan Bella temporarily lost her husband, and all she could rely on were more than 20,000 remnants of defeated soldiers and the guards directly under her. These troops add up to a total of only 25,000 people. Including the temporary recruiting of people and adventurers in the Silver City, the army was barely expanded to 50,000. However, everyone knows that the extra 25,000 people are actually useless at all.

And the undead? There are still 50,000, not a little less. Moreover, with the continuous transformation of the dark power, this number is still increasing.

Dane knew this news almost immediately - Schindler had 5,000 warriors in the Silver Capital. Brigadier General Kuras, who led the Schindler's army, notified the kingdom of the latest battle situation in Pudri immediately.

Dane, who learned of this result, cursed angrily.

"The Pudli people! What a bunch of trash!"

He couldn't help but not be angry, those guys were really useless.

Pudry's life and death had nothing to do with Dane. However, the enemy is really special.

Undead are very different from ordinary enemies. And Pudri is a big country with millions of people. Once this country falls completely, how many souls will the undead harvest? How huge will the power of the Curse Church expand? What kind of situation will happen to the Grip of the Iron Horse, who has only just gained a little advantage

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

Hearing Verina's words, Dane frowned and said, "Let Patience step up defense. We may be facing a big battle."

"Then..." Verina said something hesitantly: "The Holy Empire and the Kingdom of Victoria invited us to send troops to the Pudli Kingdom. How should we respond? Shall we reject them?"

It's okay not to mention this matter, but when this matter was mentioned, Dane became angry again. He said bitterly: "The guys from the Holy Empire refused to send out even a single soldier who was stingy at the beginning. Now that Pudley is about to die, do you know that you are in a hurry?"

After becoming king, Dane has rarely used foul language. But this time, he really didn't hold back.

After calming down a little, he said: "Don't refuse this matter, but we can't send the main army to pass. Our two lines of defense are also very tight. If we send the main army, in case something goes wrong with Emhar, We don’t even have a reserve force. Send 10,000 garrison soldiers there, and let Kuras lead them.”
