Chapter 707: Chapter 498, Temple Knight_3
Below, a dwarf brought up some clothes.
Having put them on, Hester kneeled on one knee, “Your Majesty, the fortress has fallen.”
Rune looked at him, and asked gravely, “Tell me about the situation of the enemy.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Hester arranged his thoughts and began to explain slowly, “When night fell, the Undead began to besiege the city. Their numbers were massive, disregarding the cannon fire, they stormed the city walls. Moreover, they had Undead Dragons which could unleash red and black beams of light, attacking from the sky.”
Whoosh!!
This made the whole place even more chaotic.
The siege began at night, and the city had already fallen by now.
That is to say, Hester and his team could only resist for a few hours before they lost.
This speed, even if Hester said it out loud now, none of them would dare to believe it.

“Hester, I think you are just shirking responsibility. Where can there be so many Undead, did you kill all the humans and orcs to make up this number?” A dwarf stood up and shouted reprimandingly.
The statement held true.
The Undead did not appear out of thin air, but had to be converted.
Even the recruiting function of Transmigrators required the consumption of resources for recruitment.
How could they possibly have such numbers?
Hester glanced at him without any response and turned his gaze back to Rune.
“Your Majesty, every word I say is true. I believe that the Undead has the potential to threaten Gray Iron City, we should make preparations as soon as possible.” Hester said in a solemn voice.
A few days ago, scouts had detected the movements of the Undead.
He had reported the news to Rune through the Sound-transmitting Shell, and also requested reinforcements.
But it appeared that Rune did not take this matter seriously. The reinforcements did not arrive, nor did he respond to his messages.
Now the resultant issue was that the Undead had managed to invade with ease.
Defending against them in the later stages would not be easy.
Rune did not respond immediately, only kept staring at Hester.
Seemingly trying to discern the truth from his words.
Hester was dead, but how could there possibly be so many Undead outside the Eight Peaks Mountain?
But the matter had not yet concluded.
Soon, an attendant walked in briskly.
He announced loudly, “Your Majesty, news from the border fortress, four fortresses have fallen.”
This…
In the hall, there was a deathly silence.
Conquering five cities in a day.
The dwarven fortresses were as fragile as paper, the instruments that they boasted about had no effect as well.
At this point, everyone believed Hester’s words.
Rune’s face remained expressionless in silence.
After a long while, he finally said, “Prepare for defense, get in touch with Silver Wing City, the dwarves need allies now.”
…
The next morning.
After Fang Hao had breakfast.
He received the news from Dong Jiayue.
Overnight, five border cities were taken. This was a victory, but also somewhat expected.
In the past, when their territory hadn’t been this strong, they had already waged a similar war against the Bloody Mountain Ranges.
The undead army completely obliterated the Bloody Mountain Ranges.
Not to mention presently attacking the Eight Peaks Mountain.
After praising Dong Jiayue and the others, he also made a large amount of ammunition and mechanical support for her.
To ensure that during the battle, the following battles can proceed more swiftly.
After chatting with Dong Jiayue.
Fang Hao took Anjia and strolled some other pedestrian streets, visiting a few shops.
At the same time, he was also observing the business streets, preparing to open a store here in the future.
They hadn’t walked far before Anjia and Lorrey had their hands full of various snacks.
They ate while walking, pointing and commenting on the shops and pedestrians.
Like two naive children visiting the city for the first time.
While they were strolling.
A few people adorned in Church garbs walked towards them.
They stood stiffly in front of the trio, blocking their way.
At first, Fang Hao and the others tried to circumvent them, but they also moved and blocked their path again.
Only then did they sense the abnormality.
Frowning, they looked at the people in front of them.
[Templar Knight (level 7)].
[Templar Attendant (level 5)].
The leader was a level 7 knight, while the others were level 5 attendants.
People from the Church?
Although the military unit’s name was unfamiliar, the patterns on their clothing showed that they were from the Church.
The church was not only comprised of Priests, but also had a defense army.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have such strong influence among the humans.
“Want to pick a fight?” Anjia’s expression changed immediately when their path was blocked.
“Want a fight, huh? We’re not afraid of you guys.” Lorrey pointed at the Templar Knight at the forefront.
Her voice was loud, but with her height, there wasn’t much pressure.
Fang Hao’s countenance turned serious as well.
On one hand due to his own alignment, and on the other, because in this city, the Church was known to be quite extreme.
He even thought that some of them were robbing people in the name of the God of Light.
While being protected by a group of Lionheart Knights.
Fang Hao asked, “Gentlemen, do you need something?”
The Templar Knight’s countenance was solemn and severe.
“Who are you people?”
