Heart of Empire Chapter 527: Defend Blackwood City

On July 10th, Palan abandoned Bear Town, which was about to be fully conquered by them, and headed east.

The whole army was asked to march forward with the fastest speed, but they still couldn't reach Blackwood City before the undead.

On the evening of July 11th, the undead from the Shino Forest had already arrived at the base of Blackwood City.

The undead are not like a human army. Although they are subject to certain command restrictions at night, they are still smaller than humans. What's more, many of those undead soldiers do not perceive the outside world through vision in the usual sense.

They launched an offensive overnight.

The military chief stationed in Blackwood City is Colonel Oludan, a captain of the Sixth Army.

Earlier, he had already received an order from General Palan, asking him to defend Blackwood City until the arrival of reinforcements no matter what, even if it was the last soldier.

He is very firm in carrying out this point.

After attacking overnight, the undead were unable to completely capture Blackwood City. They left 3,000 damaged undead corpses under the city. However, the human legion in Blackwood City also suffered huge losses.

There are only more than 2,000 troops in total, and more than 1,000 soldiers have lost their fighting ability after fighting this night.

At dawn, the undead retreated. However, the colonel guarding the city still feels fear in his heart when he recalls the fierce battle that night.

These undead are desperate, and there is no such thing as exhaustion of physical strength. They attacked the city frantically, and no amount of casualties could make them retreat.

There was no shouting on the battlefield, the silent attacks of the undead, the silent killing or being killed, even some unconscious roars, seemed quite dull under the night.

But in any case, they persisted until dawn.

However, after the undead retreated, only two hours later, they made a comeback again.

Obviously, the undead, who have no physical limitations, are much stronger than the human army in continuous combat. After fighting all night, most of the human army would be exhausted, and it would be difficult to gather strength to continue the attack. As for the undead, as long as the energy of the manipulators such as corpse monsters, high-level undead, and necromancers is not exhausted, they can continue to fight until the fire of the soul is extinguished.

The human army, which didn't even rest for two hours, ushered in a very severe test. But this time, they finally couldn't resist.

At ten o'clock in the morning, four hours after the second comeback of the undead, the north gate of Blackwood City fell; at half past eleven, the east gate fell. The undead began to pour into the city frantically.

Although there are still at least six or seven hundred human soldiers fighting desperately in the closed streets relying on buildings, but after losing the protection of the city wall, the fortifications that human soldiers can rely on are difficult for them to continue Continue to be able to continue to support.

The rate of casualties of soldiers has become faster, and the last line of defense established on the street in front of the city square is about to be breached. And when the time comes, the undead who have lost their barriers will forcefully break into the city square.

At this moment, almost all the residents of the city are gathered there!

However...

Colonel Oludan looked around him. There were only around 700 fighters who could continue to fight, just a little more than two brigades.

Among them, almost half of the wounded soldiers, even those who lost an arm, picked up their weapons and continued to stand on the front line.

But...

Looking at the mighty undead coming in front of him, Oludan was filled with despair—he knew that he and his subordinates could no longer stop the undead.

"We have kept our promise, and we will fight until one soldier dies later, but things cannot be reversed by manpower now... We are worthy of the kingdom! Fight to the death and let those undead know that even death , we are also Schindler's warriors!"

Oludan shouted, boosting morale for the last time!

Even though the human army has various disadvantages in fighting the undead, there is one advantage that it will never lose. If there is no chance, then the soldiers and even some middle- and lower-level officers are likely to choose to surrender when there is no doubt of defeat.

However, it is absolutely impossible to fight undead and demons.

Because surrender is also death, and death in battle is also death, why not die bravely and pull a few more backs before you die?

Now, this is what Oludan and his soldiers think. This is their plan at this moment, to kill the enemy as much as possible without reporting any hope of survival.

Even, it's not just them, behind them, the civilians of Blackwood City who were gathered for protection, there are also some brave men who came out from the initial fear, picked up some simple weapons, Standing on the front line.

However, hope often comes at such moments when people have given up hope.

Ouludan fought bravely, he heard the sound of hooves.

At first, he thought it was the skeleton knights in the undead army who launched the attack—although he hadn't seen it yet, he believed that there must be this unit in the enemy's formation.

However, when he raised his head to take a closer look, he found that it was not.

That's not the sound of horses' hooves at all, but the sound of camels' hoofs.

Here are reinforcements!

Oludan's eyes lit up! He struggled to pull out the two-handed sword embedded in the head of a black warrior who had just been hacked to death by him, swung forward violently, and after beheading a rushing ghoul, he raised his arms and shouted: "Our reinforcements Come! Soldiers! Warriors! Charge with me! Meet our soldiers! Drive these dirty, stinking undead out of Blackwood City!"

His body, which was exhausted from continuous combat~IndoMTL.com~, seemed to be full of strength again. He rushed forward with all his strength, swinging the huge sword with both hands continuously, beheading the undead one after another.

The morale of the soldiers under his command is also high! After experiencing despair, when hope appeared in front of them again, everyone burst out with great strength!

They followed their officers and launched a counter-charge!

The undead are still fighting silently. They will not have any psychological fluctuations due to the high morale of humans. However, under the charge team with Oludan as the arrow, there are camel cavalry behind them Under the circumstances, these undead who attacked the center of the city square were still being repelled step by step.

The dawn of victory has come again!
