Chapter 246: Immediate Departure
Before dawn, tens of thousands of troops were already lined up neatly outside Kushiwa.
Most of them followed Furbella and Angele to the Blue Foot Plain, while the remaining small group obeyed the orders of Furbella's deputy general and stayed in Kusiva.
Luo Qiu and Meng Li stood in a hidden corner on the top of the Kushiva city wall where no one had ever seen them and watched the army set off.
"Luo Qiu, do you think they can win?" Meng Li asked only after the army had gone far away.
"If we are not here, they will definitely lose." Luo Qiu said directly.
"what about now?"
"Depending on what Angele is doing, there is still a little hope of winning, but it's very slim."
"Luo Qiu also sensed it, the sudden appearance of a large amount of demonic aura." Meng Li said, staring into the distance.
"Well, it must be a trick played by the demon you fought that day. That aura is very similar to the demon summoning circle in the cave. I guess that guy was responsible for it before."
"Have you summoned an army of demons? I can't just sit there and do nothing now." Meng Li clenched her jade hands tightly, and unknowingly a bloodthirsty murderous aura burst out from her seemingly weak body.
The scene of all the demons coming out was so familiar, it seemed like yesterday, so much so that Meng Li could hardly restrain the murderous intent in his heart, and his aura was completely released.
"Go and do what you want to do. I believe that you can resolve all grudges without any regrets now." Luo Qiu encouraged.
"After we get rid of that demon, we will hold a celebration party for you in the manor."
"Don't worry, I will deal with them soon." Meng Li touched the colorful light bracelet, and a warm current finally flowed through her heart that was surrounded by hostility, making her mind much clearer.
"I have locked onto Gaia, the Nether Bone Dragon Knight. Go over there quickly. Don't worry about him stopping you halfway. The demon seems to have already started to act."
"I'm going." Meng Li is also a free and easy person. She spread her bat wings and turned into a blood-red stream of light and rushed into the sky.
"I hope you can give up your last obsession." Luo Qiu said silently as he watched Meng Li's departing back.
One of the purposes of this game she had set up was to help Mengli get rid of her last obsession with the demise of the vampire clan. It would be perfect for her to have her old rival Ergal as her vent.
"The rest is almost done. Let me see how it turns out." Luo Qiu smiled calmly.
"Reporting to the General, Lord Angele, we have found traces of the undead ahead, and the number is about 5,000!"
Not long after the army moved forward, a sentry at the front rode up to Ferbela and Angele and reported the situation to them.
"Is it finally here?"
Fubella and Angele looked at each other, and the two nodded as if they had reached some kind of consensus. Then Fubella gave the order: "Let the first 10,000 people form a snake formation, and the last 10,000 people form a sharp arrow formation. The rest of the people will maintain a circular formation as substitutes. All warriors will go out immediately!"
"Yes!" Several deputy generals accepted the order.
"Has it started?" Angele took a breath and said, "General Fubella, the command of the rear is now handed over to you. Your experience in the battlefield is no less than mine. I feel relieved to have you here."
"Lord Angele, do you want it?" Ferbella asked in astonishment.
He probably guessed what Angele would do next, but that was not what they had discussed beforehand. "I am the 'Sword of the Empire'. If I don't charge into the front lines of the battlefield, what kind of sword would I be?" Angele smiled brightly. "Besides, if I go and kill the enemy, it can also boost the morale of the soldiers, killing two birds with one stone."
"But." When Ferbela wanted to say something, Angele stopped him.
"Let me fulfill my duties as the 'Sword of the Empire'. I'll leave the command of the rear to you. When I come back, we'll have a drink in the evening."
After saying this, Angele patted Ferbella's shoulder vigorously, drove his horse into a gallop, and pointed his sword at the front line.
"No wonder he became the emperor's most trusted confidant." Ferbella sighed, and then began to order a series of tasks.
Since Angele has entrusted the responsibility to him, he cannot let down the "Imperial Sword".
Now we can fully demonstrate the abilities of the veterans on the battlefield.
The mutated undead were really strong. Although they were not at an advantage in numbers, their fierce attacks forced the soldiers to retreat frequently. Humans were inherently at a disadvantage when fighting against such monsters. These well-trained warriors could overcome their fear of monsters, but the innate fear was constantly affecting them.
The stalemate can be maintained for a short period of time, but if it drags on for too long, the Imperial Army will probably suffer heavy losses.
"Don't be afraid!"
A powerful roar came from afar. 'Imperial Sword' Angele held a long sword and, with a powerful burst of fighting spirit, swung a gorgeous slash that no one could see clearly.
The soldiers only saw a dazzling flash of sword light, and the bodies of dozens of undead instantly disintegrated and turned into bursts of black smoke and dissipated.
“Raise your sword! These guys are not some terrible enemies, but our former comrades! They long for rest and peace. For the sake of our former friendship and for the people we protect, fight!”
After Angele finished shouting, he plunged headfirst into the army of the undead. He was a true breaker, someone who had broken the limits of humanity. Even the mutated undead were not difficult opponents for him to defeat.
With the effects of the magic items on his body activated and his masterful fighting skills added, Angele's performance was like a sharp sword on the battlefield, shattering everything in his path.
"Roar! ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" After seeing Angele's war-like behavior, the soldiers shouted enthusiastically. They were all infected by Angele's bravery.
"Magicians, use support magic!" Taking this opportunity, Ferbella ordered the one hundred magicians who came with the army to release magic to support the soldiers fighting in the front.
"Muddy ground!"
"Negative defense!"
"Low-level muscle strengthening!"
After receiving magical support, the soldiers finally let go of the last bit of their concerns, raised their weapons, and fought together with the undead with the exquisite cooperation with their teammates.
"Tsk tsk tsk, 'Imperial Sword' is quite capable. Even the leaders of large guilds may not be able to do as well as him."
Putting aside his own strength, Luo Qiu still admired Angele very much. This man's style, mind, vision, and integrity were indeed worthy of his title.
"But this is not enough. Do you have any idea to defeat those guys, Angele?"
