Chapter 733: This battle won't be finished so easily

After the arrival of the queen, a grand battle began. The Northern Army took the lead in starting the fight.

A reinforcement army from the Ardent Flame Tower rushed to the Capital of Saints to help, but they ended up fighting with the undead army ten miles north of the city. The Flame Knights, stationed in the Capital of Saints, also came out from the north gate and sandwiched the outside reinforcements, desperately trying to eliminate the Northern Army.

Typically, when a regular army is caught in a pincer attack, they would panic and lose morale. However, the undead army outside the north gate is different. The undead army will never waver in terms of morale, so being attacked from two sides is no different than fighting on one front.

They fought fiercely with the Flame Knights, and of course, they could not die.

The Flame Knights charged two or three times but failed to break through the undead army's blockade. They quickly called for the Templar Knight’s help since holy magic is effective against the undead.

However, when the Archbishop led the Templar Knights out, Madeline also led the Black Earth Knights to reinforce the undead army. The Black Earth Knights' members were all humans and were not afraid of holy magic.

Mondra's two offensives did not gain any advantage, nor did they reduce the undead army's numbers effectively. This made him feel incredibly frustrated as every one of his men lost was one less fighter, but the undead army wouldn't die. Even if the skeleton soldiers were broken apart, they would still come back to life, giving him a terrible headache.

Although the Templar Knights could purify the undead, they didn't have the time to do so since the enemy outnumbered them. If they couldn't gain a significant advantage in a single battle, they wouldn't be able to purify these undead troops.

Next, the queen led the main force, suppressing the west gate head-on.

The people inside the city, of course, would not let the enemy build defenses so easily under their own walls.

Mondra is not a fool and knows that the defending army must give pressure to the attacking army, occasionally opening the city gates and sending out a knight group to charge and hinder West Gran’s army from approaching their own city.

Both sides fought cautiously and carefully in this war because neither side can afford to lose.

Robb did not go to the front line of the battle. Instead, he has been supervising the production of Thorium bombs, working hard with the army craftsmen to process the Thorium ore into Thorium ingots as quickly as possible, then turning them into bombs and handing them over to the magicians to load the most powerful explosive spells they could cast.
