I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

The undead commander, who was observing from the city wall, spotted Chris gradually flying back through the night sky.

"It looks like something big has happened at the front!"

The undead commander has discovered that the weapons of war have been dealt with.

However, it was puzzled as to how humans managed to do it.

After all, the magic cannons that could damage the skeleton chimera were all placed on the city walls, while the high-ranking humans were fighting the Lich King outside the city.

A seventh-order magical fluctuation occurred at the front line.

The undead commander knew without even thinking that it was a sealing crystal.

However, a single Tier 7 Demon-Sealing Crystal cannot destroy the Skeleton Chimera.

Moreover, given Chris's strength, it's remarkable that he could sustain such severe injuries even when the undead army held the advantage.

It's very likely that a group of very capable humans has appeared on the front lines.

Chris landed on the city wall, within the range of the high-level cursed land, which made it feel unusually comfortable.

His injuries are slowly healing.

Chris didn't hide anything about what he had experienced on the front lines, and gave a concise retelling of it.

"This kind of person should be killed, and then serve the king."

The undead commander's tone was extremely excited, as if he had discovered a treasure.

"I tried to recruit him, but he refused. And killing him won't be easy!"

"They're ultimately human beings made of flesh and blood. If you cut off their heads or rip out their hearts, they'll definitely die! And that's what assassination squads excel at! Besides..."

The undead commander glanced at the distant battlefield and sneered, "These laughable humans probably haven't seen a real undead army yet!"

Although the 100,000-strong undead army that attacked Volengol had already routed the defenders of Volengol, the Lich King still had 400,000 to 500,000 such troops!

These are only a small part of what's happening on the battlefield.

In addition, the Lich King also has a mysterious undead guard army.

The last time the Royal Guard undead legion appeared was when the ninth-tier swordsman of the Roland Empire attempted to assassinate the eighth-tier Lich King.

At the critical moment, they appeared on the battlefield and managed to hold back the ninth-tier sword saint.

The Lich King, severely wounded in the attack, managed to escape back to the Demon Realm.

Chris didn't know the specific details either.

However, one can imagine how strong a legion's combat power is if it can fight against a ninth-tier professional!

Chris glanced back at the city gates and thought to himself: If the king had used the undead guard legion, this war would have been won long ago.

I have a feeling that the important people are hiding something!

With Anno's image flashing through his mind, Chris suddenly made a decision.

It decided not to continue suppressing its level and instead broke through.

"For some reason, I feel that the world is about to undergo earth-shattering changes."

......

The defensive zone of the Blade Legion.

Anno suddenly returned with the surviving Tier 6 soldiers and summoned creatures.

Although everyone was exhausted, the area around the defensive line was mostly filled with low-tier undead, with relatively few tier four or five undead.

Sixty or seventy sixth-tier powerhouses attacked simultaneously, and the surrounding undead fell in swathes like wheat being harvested!

Alec and Tester, who were directing operations from the rear of the battlefield, had already witnessed the destruction of the Skeleton Chimera.

Seeing Anno and the others return to reinforce, Tester once again rushed to the battlefield and led his soldiers to cooperate with the returning Tier 6 counterattack.

Suddenly, the soldiers and adventurers felt an immense surge of power coursing through their weary bodies, and they charged toward the undead.

In less than ten minutes, the nearby undead forces not only had their attack halted, but were even pushed back by hundreds of meters.

The nearby undead tried to come to their aid, but they were also reduced to ashes!

With the surrounding mid-level undead cleared out, Anno and the group of sixth-level undead began to support other areas.

Once the pressure was gone, Anno would smash the limbs of the charging undead and leave the rest to others to deal with.

Seeing this, Xue Feibai and a few other adventurers from Val'kam followed behind Anno, slaying these mid-level undead and helping Anno collect materials from the corpses.

The battle lasted for half an hour before the advance of the undead army was completely halted.

At the same time, the undead commander also received orders from the Lich King to order the undead army to retreat!

However, the legion did not retreat back to the walled area, but only withdrew two kilometers, facing the human defenders across the river that runs through Volengol.

This river is called the Gazo River, which runs from east to west and divides Warrenger into two districts, north and south.

The slightly larger northern district was captured by the undead army.

The smaller southern district remained in the hands of soldiers from the Kingdom of Nigar.

"Does this count as a successful defense?"

Standing atop a multi-story building, Tester looked at the undead legion opposite him and muttered to himself.

Anno leaned wearily against the corner of the wall, took the water bag that Liz handed him and drank a few small sips. He said in a deep voice, "It's almost dawn. This may be the reason why they have stopped attacking."

If the undead army doesn't send reinforcements, we can try a counterattack after our people have rested enough!

The undead legion suffered heavy losses of its sixth-tier undead; the entire legion probably has fewer than a hundred sixth-tier undead left!

On the human side, there are still more than sixty-six levels.

Adding Anno's thirty Tier 6 summons, the number is about right.

The key is that after the summoned creatures' magic power is restored, their number can be doubled through [Shadow Summoning].

As long as Anno has a numerical advantage in Tier 6 units, he can gradually whittle them down and convert them all into his own members, which can then be used to fight the undead legion.

Anno currently has 320 summons, but only 30 of them are Tier 6, which is still far from enough.

Upon hearing Anno's words, Tester immediately turned to the burly man beside him and asked, "Lord Alec, what are our soldiers' casualties?"

"The count is still being done, but the casualties should be over half!"

Alik's tone was somewhat heavy.

After the undead legion captured the city walls, only 50,000 defenders remained in Volengol.

Subsequently, two other border cities next to Volengol sent 40,000 soldiers via teleportation arrays—these arrays were later destroyed by the undead legion during the war.

A full 90,000 soldiers!

By noon, the number of surviving soldiers was tallied at over 42,000!

In just one night, nearly 50,000 soldiers were killed!

This was even while retreating.

The Blade Legion has three thousand men left, and the adventurers have only twelve hundred or so.

lost heavily!

As for how many undead soldiers there are, that remains unclear.

The 50,000 soldiers who died in battle will likely be transformed into new undead.

Anno, who was on break, was unaware of the statistics.

However, around 2 p.m., Anno was hurriedly woken up by Tester.

As for why Tester woke Anno up...

"The kingdom's level 45 guardian warriors have just arrived to provide support and are now leading the city's high-level professionals to find the Lich King!"

"What?"

Anno was instantly wide awake and quickly followed Tester out of the tent.

"Sawyer Yudir, come out and fight!"

As soon as Anno stepped outside, he heard a loud shout coming from the sky, just like the other soldiers nearby who were craning their necks to look towards the city wall!
