Deep into the night, Fort Swallow.
The New Federation’s First and Second Infantry Legions, which had just taken over Fort Swallow, were still reveling in joy.
Especially the two legion commanders.
They had never thought that capturing Fort Swallow could be so easy.
In their initial plan, it would take two weeks or even longer to inflict substantial damage on Fort Swallow, and even then, before they could cause any real harm, they might have been driven back by Gerard.
To Eustace and Uder, who had witnessed Gerard in combat, he was nothing short of a nightmarish existence.
The last opponent they wanted to encounter was Gerard.
It had nothing to do with tactics.
Then, with a raise of his hand, a ghastly green flame ignited in Gulate’s palm.
Inside the gunpowder storage of Fort Swallow’s barracks, a flame suddenly sprouted.
The ghastly green flame swiftly ignited a fuse.
The ground shook as massive fireballs rolled into the night sky, lighting it up as if it were daytime.
Under the illumination of the fire, the Soul Fire began to flicker.
The Skeleton Warriors raised their rotten swords and shields in their hands.
Evil Spirits started to rise faintly from beneath the ground.
Rising plumes of thick smoke.
Mixed with the heavy scent of gunpowder and sulfur.
In the shadows of the night, the words once spoken by Dennise echoed again in the hearts of all the undead.
‘I don’t like such wars!’
‘Let it end quickly!’
They should have been lifeless.
Like stones, the undead.
In that moment, felt a boiling of blood all over their bodies!
It was a long-lost sensation.
It was what they had forgotten.
It was what they missed the most.
It would become their unwavering pursuit!
“The Queen is watching us!”
Lederma’s voice spread throughout the field.
The hundred thousand strong Undead Army roared toward the heavens, charging into Fort Swallow like a tidal wave as its gates opened once more.
In the shock and confusion of the explosion, the soldiers only now noticed the scene outside the city gates.
One by one, they opened their mouths wide in horror at the sight of the incoming Undead Army like a tide.
The young soldiers stammered out the words.
The older soldiers roared one after another, raising their muskets to aim at the Skeleton Warriors
Arrows shot from the void struck down these older soldiers.
They didn’t even have the chance to pull their triggers.
Three hundred special Evil Spirits picked off those soldiers who had reacted in time.
Upon first contact, these battle-hardened soldiers all fell.
Twelve high-ranking Evil Spirits began to raise their hands.
The fallen soldiers stood up again, raising the muskets in their hands and pulling the trigger against their comrades.
Then, discarding their muskets and drawing their swords, they turned and joined the slaughter.
The already panicked young soldiers, witnessing this scene, completely collapsed.
One by one, they turned and ran.
But three thousand Evil Spirits, emerging from the ground, overwhelmed them.
After the Evil Spirits descended back into the earth, these soldiers joined the ranks of the charging Skeleton Warriors.
In less than three minutes!
The walls of Fort Swallow, its outer city, and barracks fell one after another.
And the Undead Army suffered no losses whatsoever.
On the contrary, like a snowball rolling downhill,
The hundred thousand strong Undead Army not only didn’t diminish but grew larger and larger.
By the time Eustace and Uder realized something was wrong, the Undead Army had already overtaken Fort Swallow with lightning speed.
“Where did these undead come from?”
“What about the sentries?”
“What about the patrol guards?”
“Why wasn’t there a single warning sound?”
The two Legion commanders screamed in rage, leading their guards and drawing their longswords.
However, the next moment, their raging shouts came to an abrupt halt.
Waiting in the shadows, seizing the moment, Gulate and the twenty shadows struck simultaneously, passing straight through the bodies of the Legion commanders and their guards.
Suddenly, the life drained from the two commanders.
The guards fell to the ground one after another.
