In the end, the undead army forced to the cliff by the advance of the orc vanguard was wiped out. www.

After Grom beheaded the five death knights, and the vampires and ghosts who rushed into his army were also cleaned up by the war shaman and the centaur raiders, the undead army no longer had any resistance capable.

Of course, at this time, the main force of the undead is actually still there. There are still 4,000 troops mixed with ghouls, zombies, and skeletons, and the orcs have not lost their losses until now. There are at least one or two in frontal battles. A hundred orc warriors died, and at the same time, one or two hundred were also lost in the assault of the vampire and ghost troops.

Even so, the situation now is that the undead are in utter despair.

So what if there are four thousand troops left? The Kor'kron warriors continue to wreak havoc among the undead hordes, unstoppable. The mammoth man who rushed up didn't even need to swing a weapon. If he stepped on it, a skeleton or zombie would be crushed. The war shaman who dealt with those vampires rushed forward, and they were also a group of desperate war machines—and they also had spell attacks.

The advantage of more than twice the number of troops is nothing at all under the crazy squeeze of the orcs.

The final battle ended when the Lich with a spellcasting level of sixteen leading the undead army was about to jump off the cliff to escape, but was smashed into pieces by Grom's spinning axe.

Without the undead army of the highest command, it will become easier to deal with. The advantage of the undead troops is that they are not afraid of casualties, and their morale is always constant. But because of this, they won't have the high morale and explosive fighting power of biological troops. At the same time, since these dead and resurrected monsters do not have the term intelligence, without the command of the higher undead, they can only act on instinct.

The undead units above level 4 may be a little better. After all, the undead above the corpse monster still have some intelligence. When it comes to vampires and death knights, they are no different from other intelligent creatures. However, low-level cannon fodder such as ghouls, skeletons, and zombies can only rely on instinct to act without command, and they are not even as good as beasts.

At any rate, beasts possess some intelligence, they know that they have to run if they cannot be defeated, and they have to jump when encountering obstacles, and they even have certain strategies in hunting and hiding. And the low-level undead became surprisingly stupid after losing their command.

In the end, all the undead that could still move were hacked to death by the orcs and thrown off the cliff—the ones that were not hacked were also pushed down.

Such a high cliff, even if a death knight fell, he would have to fall to his death. These low-level undead basically have no way out.

Even if a very small number survived, it is impossible to continue to commit crimes.

The loss of the orc vanguard is actually not small, more than 600 casualties, one third of them returned to the arms of their ancestors.

However, the results are brilliant.

Grom's Warsong tribe has fulfilled their task of acting as the vanguard of the army very well, eliminating the undead army that was stationed before Emhar, clearing the barrier for the army's advance.

But at this moment, Dane's army could finally advance towards the depths of Broken Dragon Peak without any scruples.

Leading the army was Barocliffe, the captain of the dragon guards that the ancient dragon Ignir had gifted to Dane. Of course he is a person who knows the way. He has been living in this mountain area for a long time in the past.

After walking on the rugged mountain road for several days, the situation has always been relatively quiet.

At this moment, Schindler's army led by Dane himself was approaching the depths of Broken Dragon Peak. In fact, this speed is relatively fast. Although the straight-line distance from Emhart to the Green Dragon Mountain mentioned by Barocliffe is not that far, even some of Dane's flying units are in the When flying far enough, it will already start to deal with the flying units of the undead army, such as monsters like gargoyles. However, because they were marching in the mountains, Dane's team still had a lot of cavalry and some huge guys, so the speed of the march could not be fast.

Cavalry marched fast on flat roads, and could charge in a suitable battlefield environment in mountains, and their power was still there, but if they traveled long distances in mountains, they were not much better than infantry. As for the relatively large arms such as Cyclops and mammoth warriors, it would be embarrassing for them to simply be unable to pass in some places.

But in any case, I have been walking in the mountains for almost a month, and the distance from the destination is actually not too far away.

The current time has reached mid-September, and the situation in the southeastern part of the mainland has undergone some changes.

First in Blackwood City, the fir-collared mansion, not a particularly big city, but now it has become a bridgehead for the undead army of the Cursed Church to invade the mainland. According to the news from the Black Hand Academy, more than 20,000 undead have emerged from the Shino Forest recently. After a short stay in Blackwood City, they are preparing to go to the Grip of the Iron Horse.

This also means that, not counting the undead army transformed on the spot by the cursed church, the number of the undead army that just came out of the dark forest has exceeded 100,000.

However, among the hundreds of thousands of undead, there are not many left - most of them were destroyed by Schindler. In the direction of Broken Dragon Peak, after several wars, the 40,000 undead army that cursed the church in the first stage has been completely wiped out. The Grip of the Iron Horse has also wiped out 10,000 to 20,000 undead during the battles in the past few months.

No one can say that Schindler is ineffective in this war against the cursed church. Compared with another major force involved in this war, the Holy Alliance has a total of four countries—it should be said to be three now—and has not killed so many undead until now.

Now, the Peixinsi Army is in front of the iron horse's grip, firmly attracting 30,000 undead. And His Majesty Dane personally led the army, preparing to go from Broken Dragon Peak to the Dark Forest to copy the lair of the Church of the Cursed.

And the Holy Alliance? It was a bit miserable to be beaten.

On the Pudri Kingdom side, the deterioration of the war situation continued. The current Pudley Kingdom no longer exists, at least, after Queen Susan Bella died and was resurrected into a powerful banshee, the country no longer even has a legal government. The Duke of Vasarede led the army of the Principality of Victoria, and the army of the Holy Alliance led by General Wymere, were fighting fiercely against the undead.
