The sun happened to completely set over the mountain at this moment.

At this time, the sky hadn't fully darkened, still resonating with the day's sunlight.

As the Undead Army attacked, the sky filled with dark clouds.

These clouds weren't purely black, but rather a ghostly green close to black, reflecting an ink-green glow with the flashes of lightning.

These ink-green clouds rolled and swelled in the sky accompanied by the lightning.

Various Ghosts and Evil Spirits, formed by souls, could be seen tumbling up and down within the clouds.

Various skeletal-shaped Energy Bodies circled around, trailing long paths behind them.

Shrill screams emerged in the sky, causing all living beings to feel dizzy and dazed.

Beneath the dark clouds, among the undead, was a conspicuous battle chariot constructed from the skulls of the dead.

The massive chariot was pulled by two gigantic rotting beast corpses.

And on this chariot stood a Witch Demon in a tattered black robe, surrounded by black mist-like skulls.

His hands waved towards the sky, seemingly conjuring the clouds above.

Various bony waves formed from skeletons led the attack as the vanguard. They intended to use their overwhelming numbers to deplete the enemy's Physical Strength and various supplies.

Following them were zombies with dark, moldy bodies, and Undead Knights riding Ghost Warhorses.

Various other strange undead creatures gathered amongst them.

Kane stood outside the forest, glaring at the undead formation.

A mix of copper and silver was abundant, and at the center of each cluster, a shimmering golden spot could be seen.

With a rough count, the entire attack formation had more than ten golden-level undead.

Such an attacking formation occurred almost every few days or weeks, showing how exaggerated the undead's forces were.

After all, this wasn't all the attacking undead; according to Ghost Maid's intelligence, more undead resided in camps at the back.

The troops led by this Witch Demon were just one of many.

Many powerful undead led their own undead legions, breaking through defenses from all directions.

Then harvesting more living beings behind the lines, creating more undead.

For the undead, the primary purpose of starting a war was to obtain the bodies and souls of strong individuals.

Strangely, the attacking undead rarely tried to group together for action. It seems they didn't plan on forcing the Holy Light Alliance's defenses open at any cost.

Instead, they adopted harassment tactics.

As the vanguard skeletons approached the massive fortress, the Holy Light Alliance finally launched their attack.

Four large crystals rose within the fortress, each about three meters high.

The crystals were diamond-shaped, slowly rotating as they ascended.

They rose slowly from the fortress's four corners, each crystal glowing with a soft, pale golden light.

This pale golden light made all living beings within the fortress feel relaxed and refreshed.

This light was the outward manifestation of Holy Light.

It's known that Holy Light and various elemental Attributes are common throughout different worlds.

Holy Light has always represented order.

As the Holy Light Crystals ascended, catapults within the fortress began hurling various rubble into the skeleton formation.

This shows that the Holy Light Alliance's technology wasn't very advanced.

These stones were wrapped in a faint golden glow.

This caused every stone to inflict considerable damage on the undead.

Every fragment that smashed down shattered large groups of skeletons into pieces, lying helplessly.

Some skeletons, not struck on the head, whose bodies weren't fully shattered, crawled on the ground with their broken bodies.

Then, they were trampled into the ground by other undead rushing from behind, reducing them to fragments.

A large number of bones became cannon fodder at the start of the war.

Some died from the enemies, many also perished at the hands of their own kind.

Faced with the continuous clearing of skeletons by humans atop the fortress, the undead side seemed unworried.

These bony skeletons were meant to be used as disposable cannon fodder.

At this moment, from the rear of the undead formations, several corpse chariots were dragged forward, operated by the Necromancers from behind.

Huge bones connected together one by one, the top bones turned into spikes.

These new undead creations, much like slender hooked claws made of bone.

The giant skeletal hooked claws of the undead, linked their tops into one of the corpses within the corpse chariot.

Then quickly swung, like a loosened elastic band.

The body pierced at the top flew straight toward the fortress wall.

The archers on the fortress walls, launching arrows at the undead below, were directly hit by the flying corpses.

The bodies exploded among the crowd, strong stench and rotten corpse fragments, with foul corpse fluids splattering everyone around.

The severe stench made any surrounding soldiers lose their fighting power instantly, collapsing and vomiting onto the ground.

The fragments and liquid of these bodies carried intense corrosiveness.

Once contaminated, many soldiers' skin burned with severe marks as if branded by hot iron.

"Raise shields, knock down all those flying corpses."

A commander shouted loudly.

In an instant, more than a dozen of such Hooked Claw Corpse Launchers appeared.

One rotting corpse after another was hurled towards the enemy's fortress.

Except for the first few that successfully hit their targets, all subsequent corpses smashed against a suddenly appearing Holy Light shield in the sky.

The Holy Light that composed this shield immediately set the corpses ablaze.

However, maintaining such a wide shield was quite draining for the casters and the stored energy in the fortress.

The entire battle was still in the probing phase.

Of course, it was the undead testing the defenses of the fortress garrison.

For the undead, the loss of skeletons or those rotting corpses meant nothing; they had an endless supply.

This land was buried with countless bones, and the enemy would ultimately become their servants too.

The undead never lacked in manpower.

There's no logistics or supply, war itself was the best supply.

As the skeletons in the front were being used up, many had already rushed to the base of the fortress, where a large pile of white bones had accumulated beneath the walls.

These white bone fragments formed a thick layer under the wall, clearly indicating the height disparity with the ground.

"Ahhhh!"

A Banshee composed of fragmented souls shrieked behind the Witch Demon on the skeletal war chariot.

This scream was like the horn of an assault.

The zombies and other strangely shaped undead at the rear immediately began to charge, using the Bai Guo Soldiers at the front as a shield.

"Bones, heed the command of death!"

The Witch Demon picked up the massive bone staff from the chariot, which burned with dark green flames, and swung it.

The dark green flames above roared to life.

The bones heaped beneath the wall started trembling instantly, shifting and clustering together like magnets.

These white bones then drew together to form bone bridges, rapidly extending towards the top of the wall.

"Quick, throw the Holy Water tied at your waists onto those bone bridges that haven't fully risen yet."

"Hammer and Shield Soldier, hold your ground. Knock down every undead that tries to climb up, don't let a single corpse get through."

Following the command of the commander.

All soldiers at the edge of the wall retrieved one glowing potion bottle after another from their waists and threw them down.

These bottles, containing diluted Holy Water, crashed onto the bone bridges below that hadn't been fully constructed.

The bone bridges that were hit began to tremble slightly, but only slowed down their construction upward.

They could not stop the extension of these bridges.

However, some bone bridges struck by too many Holy Water bottles collapsed entirely.

The zombies and undead climbing the bone bridges were knocked down with them.

Seeing that stopping the extension of the bone bridges was unlikely, the commander issued a new order: "Pour the oil down, let these bodies turn to ashes obediently."

With his command,

Hammer and Shield Soldiers at the edge of the wall immediately created openings.

A few supply soldiers lifted up hot oil drums and poured them through the gaps.

A shallow green liquid of unknown substance poured onto the undead below.

It instantly caught fire on their bodies.

Most of the undead couldn't feel pain, only struggling before finally collapsing to the ground.

With their struggles, quite a bit of the hot oil splashed onto surrounding undead.

Yet, the enemy numbers were overwhelming.

Despite this, many undead successfully climbed the walls only to be knocked off by the waiting Hammer and Shield Soldiers.

But as more undead kept coming, the soldiers grew more exhausted.

In several areas, undead had already begun to fight on the walls.

Soft golden glows frequently emerged on the walls.

At this moment, a zombie clad in black armor wielding a black blade jumped onto the wall.

It swung its black blade forcefully around itself.

The soldiers nearby couldn't resist, getting sliced apart.

This was indeed a gold-level undead.

A male human in heavy armor directly confronted it, holding a nail hammer the length of his arm.

He also wielded a medium-sized golden shield in the other hand.

He was also a gold-level commander.

The instant they met, they clashed together.

The surrounding soldiers tactfully made room for their duel, while battling other incoming undead.

"Seems like this defensive battle has been fought countless times, those defending above are quick to react to any attack."

Kreya remarked as she stood next to Kane.

"After all, the undead have probably attacked many times, and the defending soldiers must be already accustomed to these undead assault tactics."

"When do you plan to make your move?" Kreya asked, somewhat puzzled.

Given the current trend, there was not much opportunity for Kane and them to showcase their skills.

Upon hearing Kreya's words, Kane smiled mysteriously.

He then felt the beeper hanging at his waist start to beep.

"Looks like the opportunity is coming soon."
