Chapter Seventy-Five

On the third day of late spring in the year 246 of the Moon Night Calendar, a young and handsome man stood on a mountain peak twenty miles outside of the city of Cabero, with a green long spear inserted by his side.
The sun slowly climbed up the horizon as the man gazed silently at the city of Cabero.
"General! General!"
Suddenly, a soldier in a Union Army uniform ran up from the side of the mountain, shouting.
"The report is that the Ninth Legion has reached the designated location and is awaiting your next order."
A soldier ran to the man's side, kneeling on the ground two meters away.
"What about the Fifth and Seventh Legions? Where are they now?"
The man still looked at the city of Cabello with his eyes shining like torches, as if he wanted to see the distant city through the clouds and mist on this mountain peak.
"The Fifth Legion's march was delayed due to the rainy season, but the Legion Commander guarantees that they will arrive at the designated location by noon tomorrow. The Seventh Legion is currently in the city of Moros. They say that the march was too hasty and they need to rest in place for a while."
"The mages of the Seventh Legion!" the man said disdainfully, crossing his arms and looking back up at the mountain peak. "Order the Seventh Legion to arrive at the designated location before dawn tomorrow. If they do not arrive on time, they will be dealt with according to military law. The Ninth Legion will advance ten more miles from their current position."
"General, it is done."
The soldier turned and retreated from the mountain peak.
"Ka La, you should not have done this."
Suddenly, a tall figure appeared on the peak, descending slowly from the sky.
"Should not have? Hmph! Those magicians are too arrogant. If we don't show them a little bit of color, they won't know who the supreme commander of the Alliance Army is."
The man who was previously called General by the soldiers coldly said,
"But their power is indispensable in this battle. How can we counter that undead mage's magic without the magic legion?"
The winged man who landed slowly walked up to Kara.
"What's so frightening about a necromancer as long as it's there."
Kara gripped the green long spear at her side with her right hand.
"Although the Spear of the Azure Wing is powerful, you can only use it for half an hour, and that necromancer cannot be killed within half an hour. I heard that not only is he strong in magic, but he also has a powerful body that regular people cannot get close to."
"Qi? Hmph! Even if his Qi were ranked sixth among the Greenwing, it can still kill with a single strike."
Kara's handsome face showed a firm self-confidence.
"But I'm afraid that the Necromancer won't come out... Anyway, you won't listen to what I'm saying."
"Doug, do you think I would rely solely on my own courage? Now I am the commander of a 200,000-strong alliance army. I wouldn't have taken part in the battle if that undead mage hadn't shown up."
卡拉对着道格这个从小一起长大的好友说道。
“我知道但是什么事都要小心一点为好你父亲……”
“不要说他他总是把我当成小孩看我走到这一步是我经过无数战斗才换来的。”
Kara's face turned cold.
"... forget it, you should go solve your own problems." Watching Kara, who was like a lit powder keg, Dag sighed and spread his wings, flying towards the army stationed below the mountain peak.
At the same time, several people in a room in the city of Caballero were intensively discussing the unextinguished candlelight that was gradually fading in the early morning light.
"The latest intelligence report from the city lord indicates that the two hundred thousand alliance troops have divided into five directions to surround our city. The left and middle sides of the encirclement route have already been completed, while the right side is still forming, with this side already roughly taking shape."
Light pointed to the location of the Alliance Legion on the map hanging on the wall and said to everyone in the room.
"So, what do you think their next move will be?"
Yanight looked at the location on the map that Light was pointing to, propping up her chin.
"I think they will attack our city from five directions simultaneously once they complete the encirclement because their forces far exceed ours and it would be a great disadvantage for us if we engage in direct confrontation with them."
"Hmm, I guess they probably planned it that way too," Seven Nights nodded in agreement. "What do you think, Old Yue?"
"We shouldn't be too worried about the 200,000 alliance army because Cabero City is not that big and the only walls available for combat are the front and left sides. Our undead healers from the undead healing guild can quickly put injured soldiers back into battle. The real person we should be paying attention to is this guy," Old Yue said.
Mr. Johnson took a roll of paper from the pile on the table, flattened it out, and hung it on the wall next to the map.
A portrait of a handsome man appeared in front of everyone, with a fiery-red iris and closed black feathers behind. His face wore a slightly disdainful expression, giving off an air of arrogance and self-importance. However, the cold and calm look in his eyes made it seem like he must be a cautious and careful person.
"What's the deal with this kid? He looks similar to a pretty boy, seems like there's nothing to pay attention to. Should we discuss how to deal with the alliance army that's splitting into five routes with 200,000 troops?"
Seeing the portrait of Old Johnson hanging, Wright nonchalantly said, "
This...could it be them?"
Arthur, who was near the door, walked up to the portrait and his expression changed dramatically upon seeing the tightly closed black feathers.
"Not bad, that's them."
Old Johnson sat back in his chair and said.
"Them? Who are they? Is this person a winged being? How could they have red eyes?"
Seven Nights looked at the portrait of the man with red eyes and black feathers.
"Saying that he is a winged person, but he is not a true winged person, saying that he is not a winged person, but he belongs to the winged people tribe."
"Could it be that he is the legendary cursed one, who possesses divine power but lost the ability to fly, the fallen member of the wingless tribe who rebelled against the Sky Empire before the formation of the Alliance?"
Seventhnight lowered his head for a moment and then slowly asked,
"Indeed, is he a member of the Fallen Wing Clan and also the General Karla who commands the 200,000 Alliance troops this time?"
Old Johnson nodded slowly and said.
After Mr. Johnson identified the man in the portrait, the room fell into a deathly silence as everyone bowed their heads in deep thought.
"What's everyone doing? It's just a little guy from one of the rebellious families within the Tianxiang Empire. What's there to worry about?"
Wright couldn't hold his breath and said,
"Don't you really know them?"
Seeing the indifferent expression on Wright's face, Mike asked.
"Do you really have to know them? They are not celebrities, what's the big deal if you don't know them."
"Light sneered and sarcastically asked if he felt uncomfortable after seeing the handsome man in the portrait just now."
"Perhaps ignorance brings happiness," Old Yue chuckled bitterly and continued, "After rebelling against the Tianxiang Empire, the Fallen Wing Clan was ordered by the Empire to offer a bounty of up to one hundred million gold coins. The reward for capturing the leader of the Fallen Wing Clan at that time was even higher, reaching eight million gold coins, which was the highest bounty at the time."
"Are they really that valuable?" asked Lait, astonished. "What have they done? Are they even more formidable than the late archmage?"
"Did you skip history classes in the academy?"
"Looking at Lait's hindsight, she said helplessly."
"Boss, you don't need to be so explicit; it's embarrassing with so many people."
Embarrassed, Lait scratched the back of her head, and everyone in the room sighed.
"I knew you would be like this," Qi Ye saw Laiti with an annoyed expression as if revealing something unknown to others, and said, "In the historical records, it is recorded that the Winged Clan was originally the most combative clan in the Tianxiang Empire, just like the Dwarves of the Maiguo Kingdom. Fighting is like instinct to them. Their most distinctive characteristic is their extreme love for battle, often disregarding life and death. They will not cease fighting."
"That's nothing. The berserkers in our Empire of Madness are the same."
"Fool! I haven't finished speaking." Seven Nights walked in front of Right and reached out to knock on him: "The terrifying thing about the Fallen Wing Clan is that they are cursed by the gods, and the curse gives them divine power. Even if there are ten berserkers, the outcome is only a dead end. And the most dreadful part is..."
What is it?"
Light covered his head with his hands, afraid of being hit again, and nervously asked.
"...Their divine powers enable them to fully wield the seven legendary divine weapons of D6. It is said that they currently possess three divine weapons, two of which are the Green Wing Spear and the Black Cloud Battle Drum. As for the other one, no one knows."
"What? They actually possess three out of the seven Divine Weapons of the Great Six? Has no one tried to snatch them?"
Lait's eyes nearly popped out. The seven Divine Weapons of the Great Six are all priceless treasures that every warrior dreams of obtaining. The fact that the Fallen Wing Clan can possess three of them nearly scared him to the point of having a heart attack.
"Go and rob? Didn't you hear it clearly? They can fully use divine weapons like the power Snow used in our battle at the academy, which is not even one-tenth the power of the Snow Crimson Sword. That guy must be crazy to go and try to rob them."
"Ah! What should we do then?"
Lite's jaw dropped in fright.
"It's because we don't know what to do that Lao Yue told us, so we can discuss it here together. We're so dumb, there's no hope for us."
Aphid, who had been silent all along, looked at Leith with a dumbfounded expression.
"It's getting late, everyone should go rest. We can strategize after we receive specific information regarding General Kara and the Alliance army. Right now, we need to replenish our energy. I don't want any of you to collapse before the battle even begins."
After a long while, no one in the room spoke up, and Qi Ye knew that it was impossible for anyone to come up with a good solution in a short time.
"Then let's go downstairs and rest. Lord, you should rest early too."
"Boss, you should rest early. Don't worry, whether that Kara is from the Fallen Wing Clan or not, I will beat the crap out of him and make him... "
"The idiot keeps talking even when he's gone."
Looking at the moon outside the window, Lait, Aved, and Arthur left the room together.
"Old Joe." When Old Johnson was leaving, Shiye called him, "Do you think the Allied army will immediately launch an attack after completing the joint offensive formation?"
"It is possible or not that, to be honest, I have only been a mercenary captain for a few decades, so I can give you some advice on analyzing individual or small groups of enemies, but as for suggestions on war and military aspects, I don't have any. It depends on you and your team, especially since you have studied conventional tactics in the academy and have also experienced many wars."
"Just learning tactics doesn't mean being able to use them right. Luffy and the others are strong when it comes to one-on-one battles, but they haven't yet experienced commanding operations, and their last fight wasn't exactly a formal battlefield. If the Alliance launches a full-scale attack, they could easily be defeated in an instant."
The Seventh Night smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"Then why did you let him become the commander of the Kabero City?"
"Do you think there is anyone stronger than Raito now? Although they don't have much experience, they have learned some tactics. After a few battles, they should grow. Although the cost may be a bit high, it should be fine as long as there is undead magic healing."
"Indeed, there are many mercenaries and mercenary groups in the alliance, but there are too few capable leaders. You need to be careful of Kara, as he is from the fallen Winged Clan, who have produced over a dozen renowned battlefield generals in the last century. Their reputation within the alliance is considerable, which is why the elders of the alliance allowed a young person like him to assume command of a 200,000-strong alliance army. If Laiti were to battle him, it would be like a child fighting an adult."
Mr. Johnson reminded the Seven Nights path.
"I know that I have spent these years on the battlefield and have fought against the Heavenly Soaring Empire. Just by looking at Kara’s courage to form a five-way encirclement and attack the Kabelo City, I can tell that he is not an impulsive person. I guess he will definitely let the five armies take turns to attack."
Seven Night nodded.
"Old John, if I leave for a day, can you help me cover it up from everyone?"
Seven Night suddenly said to Old John.
"What? You're leaving for a day? At this time? Do you have something important to do? Where are you going?"
Mr. Johnson was shocked and quickly asked.
"When I was in St. Petersburg, I promised Chief Kasingan of the nomadic tribe that I would send troops to help him solve the Warcraft crisis. Besides, it's better to have him as a friend secretly supporting me than to be attacked by both the nomadic tribe and the alliance army, right?"
"Of course," Old Johnson nodded confidently. "The nomadic tribe occupies a third of the Alliance's territory. Although they are not currently of much help to us, as long as they support us at the Alliance meeting, it is likely that the Alliance army will be asked to withdraw. However, can you resolve the crisis of the nomadic tribe in just one day? Their hundreds of thousands of wolf riders are one of the most powerful forces in the Alliance, and they cannot deal with the Warcraft creatures."
"I think the wolf cavalry I want to have is agile and quick in action, with accurate archery skills and the ability to add magic on top of it. It is indeed very powerful on the battlefield. However, Warcraft creatures generally have thick scales and tough skin, and they can resist normal magic attacks. Using magical arrows or similar attacks is completely useless, so they are powerless. But if I bring my undead army over, I believe that within a certain time, I can disperse those Warcraft creatures that are gathered together, and then drive them out of the northern plain. It should take about a day."
"No wonder you have been holding back the undead legion from the front lines. So that was your plan," Old Johnson exclaimed, suddenly realizing Seven Nights' order to continue fortifying the undead legion. "One day should be enough. If the alliance forces advance, I can move the undead city in front of the Kabero City. It will take at least a day for their three mage legions to break through the magic defense barrier of the undead city."
"Well then, it's up to you now. I'm leaving."
Qiyue picked up the coat and sword hanging on the wall.
"Go now?"
Seeing Qiyue's actions, Old Johnson was stunned. He didn't expect Qiyue to leave right after saying that.
"Of course, it's better to go early and come back early. I checked the magic teleportation portal at the nomadic tribe in Moon City this afternoon, and it's already open." After putting on his clothes, Seven Nights said, "Tomorrow, say that I went to patrol Moon City and don't let others know."
"Okay. Let me go help you open the magical defense barrier in the town."
"No need. I have already moved the magic teleportation array to the undead city. It's better for me to teleport from there. If I let the undead army teleport here, then no one will know that I have left." Qiyue pushed open the door and walked out, then came back again. "Rest here tonight and don't let them see that I have left."
"Be careful over there. Although the people in the homeless tribe are relatively straightforward, it's still better to be cautious. You are worth millions of gold coins."
"No problem."
"Qiyexiaosa casually waved his hand and closed the door of the room."
In the sky, a crescent moon hanged alone, while in the city of undead, dozens of giant fireballs shone as brightly as the rising sun.
Under the shining light, thousands of undead soldiers stood in neat formations. Death knights stood in front of each small formation, focusing their attention on the center of the city. There, a silver six-star arcane teleportation array flowed like a liquid, spreading in all directions and continuously expanding. After nearly half an hour of strange flow, the movement finally stopped, and a six-star arcane teleportation array, hundreds of times larger than the original, appeared.
"I'll leave it to you here. After the magic array over there is complete, I will notify you, and then you can open the magic channel with them."
Wearing a black Kevlar, carrying a leather bag in his left hand, Qiyue floated in the center of the teleportation magic array and said to A Bolu.
"I will definitely complete it accurately."
Boruf nodded.
"When the passage opens, you must command those necromancers well. If they make any mistakes, it's not good. Make sure they control their magic to a certain intensity. Also, this matter must not be told to anyone. Continue pretending to build the new city during the day, remember?"
"Don't worry, boss, even if Rite comes, I won't tell him."
Baluf firmly promised.
"I'll leave it to you here."
Qiyue nodded in satisfaction, waved to Baluf, and the magic power of the six-star magic array on the ground began to operate. After a beam of light on the Mithril six-star, he disappeared in the magic array.
Faint starlight shines on the desolate and vast weeds, and the cold night wind turns into layers of waves in the grass. The distant roar of wild beasts occasionally shatters the silence of the night, coming from far to near, then fading from loud to soft until silence. The fire tongue of the unextinguished bonfire fluctuates in size, making the shadow of the warrior standing aside lengthen and then shorten.
Suddenly, a beam of light appeared, causing the dwindling bonfire to soar into the sky. The silhouette of a figure emerged in mid-air.
"May I inquire as to who you are, sir/madam? If you do not disclose your identity, our tribe will consider you as an enemy."
The guard, holding a long spear in his hand, pointed it at the black figure appearing in the middle of the magic teleportation array and shouted.
"I can't believe the weather here is so cool. It seems that the grassland climate is better." The black figure emerging from the magic array looked at the sky, then turned to the surrounding warriors and asked, "Is Chief Kassig present?"
"You want to see our chief? Please state your identity."
The warrior guarding the magical teleportation array thrust his spear against the cloak of the dark figure.
"I promised your chief that I would help you resolve the crisis of the warcraft. Hurry up and bring him here. I don't have much time to stay here for long."
Shichiya reached out and moved the long spear hanging from his chest to his open hand, then poured the silver metallic powder from inside his pocket onto the magic teleportation circle on the ground.
"Potter, go and inform the Chief." One of the four guards standing by the magic teleportation circle, a taller and stronger warrior, instructed another warrior, "What are you doing? Until I know your identity, it is my duty to guard the magic teleportation circle. Please leave immediately."
"Don't worry, I'm just expanding the magic teleportation array." Qiyue poured all the mithril from the bag onto the magic teleportation array, which ascended to the center of the six-star magic teleportation array, about three-person height. She pointed her right hand downwards and said, "Step back a bit, don't block."
Seeing Qiyue fidgeting with the tribal warriors on the other side, they were at a loss. They were sent by the chieftain to guard here because someone was supposed to come through the magic array. However, as Qiyue's identity has not been confirmed yet, they let him manipulate the magic teleportation array freely. If Qiyue turns out not to be the person the chieftain is waiting for, they will be deemed derelict in their duties.
As the tribal warrior still did not understand, the six-star magic teleportation array underground began to undergo changes under the magic power of the seventh night. Silver mithril powder fused into the six-star magic teleportation array, and the entire magic formation became as fluid as flowing water, expanding in all directions. Not understanding what was happening, the tribal warrior quickly retreated to the back.
"Chieftain, I don't have much time to stay here. Tell me where Warcraft is."
On the sixth night, when the magic teleportation array turned into the size of the teleportation magic to Undercity, Chieftain Kasi and others had already arrived next to the magic teleportation array.
"Lord Qicheng, I know that the alliance army is advancing towards Charlotte City. I am grateful that you came to help me at this time. But tonight, I will still ask you to rest, as it would take about a day to walk from here to the swamps alongside our plain where those monsters are. Besides, my tribe's warriors will not be able to gather until tomorrow morning."
Kasijin Chief placed his right hand on his left chest and bowed slightly to Qiye. As a member of the Northern Alliance, he was dispatched by the Alliance Senate to lead the Alliance army to attack the city of Charlotte. Qiye's arrival from Charlotte at this time made him very grateful.
"No need, Chief. I promised my subordinates in my city that I would be back before this time tomorrow, so I need to deal with the Warcraft as quickly as possible. You just need to send someone to guide me, and I'll take care of the rest."
Seventh Night shook his head and declined the kind offer from Chief Kasi Jin.
"If that's the case, then I won't force you to waste your time. Although I believe Warcraft is no match for you, if you go alone..."
Casjijin Chief frowned slightly. He had never seen a Necromancer before, but he believed that a single person like Qiye couldn't possibly withstand the enormous horde of monsters that even the warriors of the tribe couldn't repel.
"You don't have to worry about the chief. My legion is waiting on the other side of the magic teleportation array. Once I arrive at the destination, I will bring them over."
"So that's how it is. I'm really thankful that you could come and help us at this time. It's our tribe's crisis, but we can only rely on you now." Chief Kassigold finally felt relieved. "Tomorrow morning, after our tribe's warriors gather, I will lead them over. Let Heman take you there, and he will explain the details of the monster crisis on the way."
"Okay, then I will go over, Your Highness,"
Qiyue grabbed Heman, who came over, and brought him up into the sky. The large magic teleportation array on the ground also rose into the sky as if it was held up by an invisible hand.
"I leave everything in your hands, Lord Qicheng."
After watching Qiyue disappear into the night sky with Ximan and the large magic teleportation array, Chief Kasijin sighed helplessly because he couldn't deal with the numerous monsters on his own. Now, he can only rely on the power of Qiyue, who is an undead mage.
