Then, the blade-shaped puppets that were quickly set up on the city wall and moved back and forth were defeated and disintegrated like mowing the grass. Under the influence of the magic power of the Immortal Dynasty members, they were reassembled at an astonishing speed, and then defeated again, repeating the cycle over and over again.

Both sides are doing their best.

By the third hour of the battle, the price paid by both sides almost exceeded the total losses of the past few days.

And this was just the beginning of a long night.

A mountain of corpses broke through the fire network while the armor-piercing bullets were exhausted, dragged its broken and huge body to the front of the city wall, and used its twisted tentacles to tear and absorb the bodies of several soldiers at once.

Then he was finally killed by Villian’s magic.

The huge body slammed heavily against the tall and solid city wall, then fell to the ground with a bang, merging with the fragments of countless zombies that had died under the city before, and finally formed a flesh and blood ladder that could directly climb up the wall.

As if they had already seen this opportunity, the cold magic power, along with the light released by the members of the Immortal Dynasty in the rear, began to spread across the entire battlefield.

An earth-shaking buzzing sound followed.

Countless flies and insects that had been attracted by the rotting flesh and living on the corpses and around the battlefield for days suddenly rose into the air in unison, obscuring the bright moon like black fog, and swept towards the city walls and the defenders on them.

These disgusting creatures greedily and recklessly occupied every hole in every living thing they could reach, obscuring the senses and destroying the spirit while burrowing deeper with all their might.

In an instant, screams were heard all around Aize.

Many unprotected soldiers covered their eyes, which had been eaten to a bloody mess, and fell to the ground in pain, huddled together wailing, losing their ability to fight.

The forbidden necromancy can control not only the dead, but also scavengers who have a strong connection with the concept of death itself.

If they are not stopped, not only the defenders on the city walls, but even the entire city’s residents will be eaten to death.

The combat magicians deployed in various places immediately changed their formation and, according to the pre-planned plan, deployed a huge shield that spanned the entire battlefield, blocking most of the blood-thirsty flies.

Then, the pre-set piles of grass mixed with anthelmintics were set on fire one by one. The irritating and slightly toxic smoke effectively killed the remaining individuals that had sneaked into the shield, and the situation was finally stabilized.

Taking advantage of this brief period of chaos, the next round of more deadly offensive has arrived.

The coordinated footsteps and the clashing of armor, under the cover of a dense swarm of flies, suddenly appeared very close to the city wall.

A terrifying figure appeared.

He was covered in pitch-black armor, holding gorgeous and sophisticated swords, spears and other weapons, and every part of his body emitted a faint blue light like will-o’-the-wisp.

Majestic and gorgeous, completely different from those other twisted and ugly zombies or puppets.

The Ghost Knights are the most elite combat force of the Immortal Dynasty.

Each of them was an outstanding warrior from the ancient Republic of Augris. They have survived through the long years and have continued to this day, guarding the nobles they once swore allegiance to for hundreds of years.

Although their consciousness had long been destroyed by the forbidden art of necromancy, the inherited equipment and special manufacturing process allowed them to possess both the toughness of the undead and the agility of the living.

Their individual combat effectiveness is even higher than that of the Royal Guards.

Such a phalanx took advantage of the chaos caused by the swarm of flies, stepped on the steps made of flesh and blood, climbed up the city wall, and began to slaughter every living person they saw.

“Lord Aize, these guys are old enemies of the empire. Let the future general handle them!”

The imperial general Lysander personally led the Guards to confront them head-on. Relying on unfair and brutal close combat, he managed to block the enemy at the edge and would not allow it to move forward any further.

Once again, thanks to Aize’s precise command and every soldier’s desperate fighting, the battle situation reached a stalemate.

The general offensive, personally orchestrated by Frederick, leader of the Immortal Dynasty and one of the Thirteen, was unprecedentedly fierce. As a result, the Undead Army’s resources were depleted at a rate far exceeding any previous engagement.

If this trend continues, Aize has enough confidence to win this battle.

But he also understood that this was far from the entire combat power possessed by the other party.

“Roar!!!!!”

“coming.”

A sudden and huge roar suddenly resounded across the entire battlefield without any warning. Several unidentified objects rose into the air from the end of the horizon, casting their huge shadows on the ground covered with craters and remains, and rushed towards the battle line that had already reached a stalemate.

It has a lizard-like slender body, wings so wide that they seem to cover the entire sky, dark green scales all over its body, and exposed sharp fangs.

Even an ordinary person with no knowledge can understand its identity just by looking at its appearance.

“Dragon! It’s a dragon!”

“Ahhhhhh! Why is there a dragon here?!”

The forbidden technique mastered by the Immortal Dynasty treats all beings equally. Almost all living things can be transformed and used by it after death, and the most powerful dragon species are naturally no exception.

Due to the differences in species, the combat effectiveness of zombie dragons varies greatly among individuals. The powerful ones have both resilience and destructive power, and are even more difficult enemies than a mountain of corpses.

However, their number is very small, and the transformation work is carried out in secret and never made public.

Because this will cause trouble for the dragon people.

The dragon people, as a branch of the sub-dragon species, have always regarded all dragon species as their own blood brothers.

If you kill a dragon species by relying on your strength in battle, the dragon people will not have too many objections.

But if the dead dragon species were to be turned into undead, that would be an act of blasphemy that could never be tolerated.

Several hundred years ago, when the Immortal Dynasty was just established and the first attempt to undead dragons was made, a violent conflict broke out with the dragon people, and even directly led to a civil war among the demons.

The result of the Demon King’s mediation at that time was that the Dragon People were not allowed to continue pursuing the relevant crimes.

At the same time, the objects and scale of the Immortal Dynasty’s undeadization were strictly restricted and prohibited from being carried out at will. It was like giving both sides a slap on the wrist, and the undead clan was put in a cage.

But even so, the undead still carried out many sneaky experiments in private.

According to the intelligence Aize had previously obtained, they had retained at least five zombies transformed from high-level dragon species, which had been hidden as secret weapons.

Now, it finally appeared on the battlefield.

We would rather take the risk of being held accountable than not use our power to break the current deadlock.

This shows the anxiety of the Immortal Dynasty.

Aize was not panicked and was ready to continue to deal with it according to the predetermined plan.

Then–

“ROARRAHHHHHHH!!!”

“……what?”

A second, even louder roar came from the direction of the city behind him.

Turning around, he found that another dragon had appeared in the night sky at some point, rushing towards the zombie dragon released by the undead at an extremely fast speed, and was fighting with it.

Its appearance looks somewhat familiar.

“Black-scaled dragon? Could it be… Alicia!?”
