Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!-Chapter 74: The 2nd Generation: Nightmare Descends!

"Form the ranks, prepare to meet the enemy!"

The City Lord of Black Stone City, Viscount Harrington, wiped the cold sweat from his brow and immediately ordered the Empire’s army to hold the defensive.

The sentinels at the front line uniformly stepped forward with their left legs, crouched low, knees slightly bent, and raised their shields single-handedly in a standard defensive stance, ready to meet the first wave of impact.

Behind them, sentinels in the second row also raised their shields, placing them over the lower shields to form an impenetrable shield wall.

At the same time.

They gripped their long spears and positioned the sharp spearheads above the shield wall, forming a spear array!

The combination of the shield wall and spear array created a defensive line that was both offensive and defensive.

In this way.

The enemy would pay a heavy price during the first charge.

"Activate the Alchemy Cannon Platform!"

The giant alchemy cannon platform at the back of the battle array aimed its barrels at the skeleton army.

Once the alchemy cannonballs were loaded and the energy core was activated, all the runes and magic circuits lit up one after another, emanating an unnerving wave.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a deafening sound.

Numerous alchemy cannonballs were fired instantly, raining down on the skeleton army like a torrential storm.

These alchemy cannonballs were the result of collaboration between the Empire’s alchemists and the Magic Academy, developed over centuries as deadly war tools.

The cannonballs were inscribed with countless magic runes, and the high temperature and power generated by the explosion were capable of wiping out a large number of Holy Light Knights in an instant!

"Rumble!"

The alchemy cannonballs exploded among the skeleton army, tearing apart every skeleton within a kilometer radius into fragments.

The Headless Knight Order at the forefront were thrown from their mounts, suffering heavy casualties.

Many Catastrophe Skeletons didn’t even know what hit them as they were blown sky-high, only to melt in the intense heat moments later.

Under this barrage from the Holy Light Empire.

The previously dense and endless tide of skeletons now showed a large gap!

If any other race suffered such massive casualties, it would likely lead to a collapse in morale and a panic-stricken retreat.

But the Catastrophe Legion was fearless in the face of death, knowing nothing of death or pain.

The brave and fearless Catastrophe Skeletons launched another charge, using their bodies to fill the gaps on the battlefield!

Though the alchemy cannon platform’s destructive power was phenomenal, it needed a long cooldown time after each use.

And what was left of the Headless Knight Order, swift as lightning, had already reached the very front of the battlefield!

However, the shield wall created by the Empire’s sentinels was impregnable, and the Headless Knights and Catastrophe Skeletons found themselves running into a mountain.

The shield wall was unmoved, while they were sent flying by the impact.

Moreover, above the shield wall, the spear array stood like a forest.

Countless long spears thrust out continuously, their sharp tips penetrating through bodies, leaving them riddled like beehives.

Viscount Harrington finally let out a sigh of relief.

Other army corps of the Holy Light Empire, aside from the mighty Holy Light Knight Order, were not to be underestimated.

It’s no exaggeration to say.

The Imperial Army’s battle array alone could sweep across the world!

These skeletons might be numerous, but their strength was merely mediocre.

"Count Klaus, it seems there’s no need for your Holy Light Knight Order to intervene this time. My army alone is enough to take care of all these skeletons!"

Viscount Harrington looked toward Klaus, who was mounted on his warhorse, speaking with a tone of accomplishment.

"Oh, is that so? Then I await your good news." A hint of scorn and disdain flashed in Klaus’s eyes.

For a skeleton army of tens of millions, what was this loss?

Besides, the Frost Bone Dragon and the Undead Lord in the sky hadn’t even made a move; defeating them wouldn’t be so easy.

Sure enough, as time passed.

Viscount Harrington’s expression gradually turned grim and uneasy.

The Imperial Army array truly stood unparalleled, and these sentinels were elite among men.

But in the end, they were made of flesh and blood!

Faced with such high-intensity combat, no matter how steadfast their will, they would still grow weary and fatigued!

But these Catastrophe Skeletons knew no fatigue nor fear of death.

To create opportunities for the Headless Knight Order, they used their bodies and bones to jam the long spears!

Under the relentless, no-holds-barred assault of the skeleton army.

The seemingly indestructible shield wall finally had a breach!

What terrified Viscount Harrington even more was.

As the first sentinel fell under the skeleton’s blade.

The nightmare unfolded!

A hexagram magic array appeared, enveloping the corpse instantly.

The next moment.

That sentinel miraculously rose from the ground and, without hesitation, used his long spear to pierce through his comrade’s body!

"What is happening? How are those sentinels able to revive after being killed?"

"No! It’s the work of the Devil! They have become puppets of the Devil!"

Panic and death rapidly spread among the Imperial Army, and without a second thought, Viscount Harrington, along with his attendant, retreated to the safety of the rear lines.

"What kind of power does that Undead Lord wield to resurrect the dead?"

A trace of seriousness flickered in Klaus’s eyes, but he did not act immediately, choosing instead to continue watching the events unfold.

After all, the Holy Light Knight Order is also protected by the Power of Holy Light.

Even if they are slain by the enemy, they can resurrect right from where they fell!

"Activate the Alchemy Cannon Platform, blast these devils to bits for me!"

Viscount Harrington’s voice trembled as he hurriedly gave the order.

"Lord City Lord, among the crowd, there are also our Empire’s soldiers..." someone reminded.

"Ignore those people; fire immediately!" Harrington roared with a voice full of anger and fear, making it hard to distinguish his true emotions.

Under Harrington’s firm orders.

Dozens of alchemy cannon platforms were reloaded, and the energy core was activated once again!

"Rumble!"

A rain of alchemy cannonballs once more poured down onto the skeleton army, leaving another blank void on the battlefield.

But this time.

The Imperial Army also suffered heavy casualties, with many sentinels obliterated before they had a chance to react.

Amidst the swirling smoke.

Countless limbs and blood rain fell from the sky, making the battlefield appear extremely brutal, like purgatory on earth.

But before long.

The Calamity Army surged again, once more filling the emptiness of the battlefield.

"Klaus, where is your Holy Light Knight Order? How much longer are you going to wait?!"

Desperation filled Harrington as he looked to Klaus with half anger and half plea.

"Oh? Viscount Harrington can’t hold out any longer, so soon? I expected you all to last a bit longer." A flash of disdain passed through Chris’s eyes.

But he also understood.

If the entire Imperial Army were wiped out, even if he swept through the whole Skeleton Wasteland, he would not be able to justify it to the Empire.

Thus.

He took a deep breath and gripped the longsword in his hand.

Determined to lead all the Holy Light Knights and end this absurd and tiresome farce!
