Chapter 1564 1392: After War-Meeting

That was because he had the ancient heritage! How was this possible? No one had ever seen this ancient heritage after the holy war from more than two centuries ago! Who exactly is he? Where did he get them from?

At this moment, the Undead Creatures moved ahead again. Their spirits were long gone and nothing could stop them forever, after alpl. Shortly after, they advanced like ink that spread across a white sheet of paper. Vandal watched and for some unknown reasons, his heart skipped a beat abruptly. He looked at the fortress ahead and another beam of light descended from the sky.

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

He ordered in a fluster while the Undead Creatures around him watched in silence. Suddenly, another dazzling light beam shone from above and in the blink of an eye, thousands of Undead Creatures vanished.

Vandal lowered his head. The spiritual flames in his eyes seemed incomparably dull. But shortly after, they burned stronger.

"Retreat. Order everyone to retreat."

He issued the order in a hoarse, deep voice.

The Undead Army retreated like the tide toward the protection of the Dark Dragon Soul and waited for their next attack. On the other hand, the soldiers above the city walls exploded into cheers. They knew that this was just a temporary victory, but it was equally precious.

''Sir Overlord, they've retreated."

"I know."

Alex squinted and spoke with knitted brows. Although the others were excited that the Undead Army had retreated, he wasn't delighted at all because he knew that this was only an intermission. The Undead Army wouldn't give up just yet, even after they realized the existence of the Holy Statues. The Undead Army had other ways to deal with them. If not, the Light Dragon and Dark Dragon wouldn't be evenly matched during the Big War.

Alex turned around.

"I have something to attend to. I'll leave everything to you here, Captain Mila. Please report to me immediately if you discover any signs of the enemies."

Unlike the previous meetings that were filled with hopeless emotions, everyone revealed excited expressions this time. Most of them were like Fred, who didn't feel confident against the Undead Army during the clash. But the tide turned instantly after Alex activated the Holy Statues, which instantly gave them strong hopes. It was due to this reason that when he entered the meeting room, he felt everyone's trustful and confident gazes. If it was in the past, many of them would doubt in his abilities to resist the Undead Army.

But, it was a pity that he wasn't here to solidify their confidence. Instead, he was here to pour cold water on them.

"Not only that, but Maggie and I also have to prepare ourselves in dealing with the Night Wyvern's attack. We have to conserve our strength before that."

Scarlett approached them and continued Alex's sentence

"Defending the fortress is an uninteresting matter. It is especially so in this situation. We can't come up with too many strategies like the battles between two armies. The enemies aren't humans and their determination is as strong as steel. Ordinary strategies won't work on them. Since that's the case, we can only meet force with force and frankly speaking, we may not be able to defeat them. Alice, I guess you're aware that if Maggie and I don't show up and if Alex didn't activate the holy spears, your Healers would have a hard time dealing with the enemies."

"..."

Alice and Cecilia fell into silence. In fact, that was the truth. They lacked too much manpower. In the two battles, most of the soldiers didn't contribute much and mostly relied on Alex and his powerful trump cards. The first clash ended with Madeline, Scarlett, and Maggie joining forces. This time, they relied on the Holy Statues to strike off the Undead Army while the others above the city walls were more like bystanders who cleaned up the remaining Undead Creatures.

"What other choices do we have? The soldiers are too weak."

Maggie shot her mouth off.

"In the past, no matter how many skeletons climbed over the walls, we would slaughter them all. But, there are really too few soldiers here. If the enemies were to climb up and overwhelmed the soldiers, this fortress would have become theirs. This is why Leader beat his brains out to keep the battle outside the fortress. You people should be glad that you're not the main attacking force. If you are, that means that Leader's fortress will be doomed entirely. How can you take on that many enemies? We would have been buried to death by them."

"..."

Cecilia knitted her brows, but she wasn't offended by Maggie. The truth was that they lacked too many manpower. Perhaps they had the Valkyries Army and Magic Fleet as backing, but Alex had told them that trump cards must be revealed one by one. They wouldn't scare the enemies away if he revealed them simultaneously. But...

"But if that's the case, our weaknesses were exposed to the enemies. Normally, wide-range spells are essential during such battles. But, we didn't do so and activated the holy spears instead. This equals to telling the enemies that we have a lack of spell casters..."

Cecilia clenched her fists and felt cold sweat in her palms.

"But... The enemy must have investigated beforehand and if they have records of our previous battle, they should be aware that there are two powerful spell casters in the fortress."

"Yes, but Maggie and I didn't attack."

Scarlett shook her head. Her smiling eyes glinted with some cheekiness.
