Chapter 741: Fierce Defense 2

Pop! Pop!

Bang! Rumble!

The explosions and flames that began at the entrance of the Pamire Mountains continued for three days.

The Undead, who crossed the Pamire Mountains, were shattered or burned in the explosions.

Hundreds to thousands of them burned for four days.

Nevertheless, there were way too many Undead.

Eventually, when all the prepared chemicals were exhausted, the Undead crossed the mountain and began to attack the forts.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

“Block! Don’t let the Undead cross that wall!”

“What are the wizards even doing?! Why aren’t they using attack magic at those Undead?!”

“The barrier in Area 52 is about to collapse! We need reinforcements…!”

“Send in the reinforcements right away!”

The battles were being fought between the Undead, which filled the plains, and the Symphonia Kingdom troops that relied on the walls and barriers.

At first, the Symphonia troops were at an advantage.

They had built their own defense and barriers around the forts.

In addition, the attack of the Undead was too simple to stop.

But the Symphonia troops were nothing when compared to the number of Undead, and the days continued. The battle went on from sunrise to sunset, and the Symphonia men, who were just humans, began to get tired.

There was an insufficient number of troops to protect the forts.

“Damn it! If we had time, I would have let the troops rest for two shifts…”

Feeling guilty, Reynold Gram punched the wall.

A total of 12 forts and 15 kilometers of defensive lines had to be monitored, and they were in a shortage of 200,000 troops.

Eventually, he had to use all the troops such as the wizards and Gigants.

Among them, the place where the fiercest battle was taking place was the Verange Castle, where the Undead kept on piling up.

Although they deliberately constructed the barrier to draw them there, they were lacking in time for the troops to prepare for the offensive, and this made the Gram brothers lose patience.

“This can’t happen! We need to go out!”

At Reynold’s words, his younger brother, Reynard, as if waiting for those words, got into his Gigant, which was already placed on the wall.

Kiiik!

As he entered, the core engine of Orion rang violently. The engine’s sound, which started with one Gigants, could be heard from different sides of the wall.

They were the Gigants of the Iron Heart Knights, who were directly under the Northern Army.

“Let’s give eternal rest to those who aren’t dead even after dying! Follow me!”

“Yes!”

Reynard, who had a short temper, jumped down the wall.

Following him were dozens of Iron Heart Knights, who were shouting.

Thud! Thud! Thump!

At the Verange Castle, the Northern wall was the place where the Undead were most concentrated.

The riders, who jumped from there, began to wipe out the Undead as soon as possible.

Cutting them down with a huge sword, trampling them with their heavy legs, and crushing them in groups.

Among them, the Commanders, the Gram brothers, stood out the most.

Like Advanced Sword Masters, their Gigantic Aura reached 10 meters on both their Gigants, and hundreds of the Undead fell at each of their strikes. They were almost like Undead crushers.

In an instant, a large vacant lot got created in front of the Northern wall.

However, the Undead weren’t still.

The Undead, who had no emotions, rushed back to the Northern wall.

“Ugh, those ones! They keep on coming!”

As he watched the Undead rushing in for the Northern wall from his cockpit, Reynold grunted.

The battle broke out again.

Well, it was more like a one-sided slaughter.

One huge sword wrapped in Gigantic Aura cutting over the Undead like crop harvest.

However, even with the unilateral battles going on for hours, the Gram brothers began to tire.

The aura in their bodies ran out, and their Gigant control was getting overloaded.

In addition, countless Undead bodies and the black blood puddles on the ground made the movement of Gigants rather difficult.

‘How much have the soldiers rested?’

Reynold thought as he glanced over the wall.

The main reason he was in the field was to give the soldiers a rest for the three days and nights they fought.

While the Iron Heart Knights intercepted the Undead for several hours, the soldiers might have gotten some rest and reorganized.

“All retreat! Exit through the North gate!”

The knights, who reached their limits, retreated quickly at the order.

Kiing!

Reynold came out of Orion’s hatch.

He left his brother in charge of the knights and went up to the wall.

“How is the war situation?”

Viscount Kaper, who was in the commander position on their behalf, answered.

“No line of defense has been broken.”

“Good thing. What is the damage to our allies?”

“A total of 20,000 troops have been quarantined after getting in contact with the zombies. The Gigants are also under maintenance due to fatigue and the number of the Undead.”

“Well, the damage to the soldiers is a lot greater than I imagined. Any news of reinforcements coming?”

“Well, Your Majesty sent special reinforcements…”

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Before Viscount Kaper could even complete his words, drums began to ring loudly.

It was a signal that the Undead were coming in for another wave of attack.

“They are really persistent.”

“That is true. There was a reason why our ancestors were far from black magic.”

Exhaling, Reynold and Kaper went over the wall again.

When they arrived, the Undead were climbing onto the wall like a swarm of ants.

And it wasn’t much different from before, the Undead wave, but something was off.

A few Undead were arguing with the other Undead on what happened.

As a result, the Undead’s offensive was a little slower than before.

‘What is this?’

Reynold was confused when his lieutenant approached him with a note.

The Royal Palace in Brandon had sent a message to him via magical communication.

Reading the note, Reynold’s lips turned into a smile.

“Well, this is good.”

“In this gap, we need to reinforce.”

Reynold nodded at the words of his lieutenant who had already seen the note.

“We should send in the spare Gigants right now and tell the wizards to repair the broken barriers!”

“Yes, Sire.”

At his command, the Gigants and engineers waiting in the back began to move quickly.
