Chapter 895: Chapter 573, Border War_3
Clergy members generally refer to professions such as Priests and acolytes.
In the army, they are primarily responsible for “Attribute Enhancement,” “Dispelling Negative Attributes,” and “Treating the Wounded” among other supporting roles.
Even though the church has special damage abilities against the Undead, the numbers still speak for themselves.
The entire Federation has only mobilized about eighty thousand church members, and most of them are in support roles.
But the inclusion of six bishops was enough to provide a significant boost to the human side’s combat power.
Nidam nodded, his gaze then fell on the Mage Association.
...
“Water Mage Mapel replied directly, “In total, there are twenty-three thousand mages who have been placed at the rear of the troops, ready to be mobilized at any moment.”
The nobility’s monopoly on knowledge makes the number of mages even fewer.
Nidam nodded again, indicating his understanding.
Next, he inquired about the military strength of the other cities and their various needs.
Nidam continued to look towards the church area’s ‘Xu Haide’ and asked softly, “Saint Xu Haide, do you have any new information?”
As the situation between both sides worsened, Xu Haide’s status surged.
Everyone was praising the church for nurturing a saint who could “Control the Big Picture.”

Xu Haide shook his head, “No news, the contact with that side has been cut off.”
“Well, let’s see…”
Nidam was halfway through speaking when he suddenly shut his mouth.
He looked down at the teacup on the table.
Meanwhile, concentric ripples rhythmically spread from the center of the teacup.
As they approached, the alarm bells rang out loudly and the room outside instantly became chaotic with shouts.
Bang!
The door was flung open.
A guardian from the Hall of Justice rushed in, his face ashen.
He said loudly, “The Undead army is advancing closer.”
Everyone stood up.
Nidam’s expression was extremely grave as he shouted, “Everyone return to your camps immediately and prepare for battle.”
“Yes!”
Everyone responded in unison and hurried to their respective military areas.
…
Half an hour later, the ground shook even more violently.
The dense Undead army had crossed the border and started their assault on the human encampments.
Wuuu Wuuu Wuuu!
The horns sounded.
Sturdy shields were raised, overlapping to form a grey wall of metal.
Boom Boom Boom!
The cannons began roaring, projectiles arcing through the air, crashing into the Undead’s ranks.
Dirt and stone mixed with shattered bones flew in every direction.
Following the cannon fire came a dense volley of arrows, falling like raindrops.
Tinkling as they hit among the Undead.
But the arrows were of limited effect against a foe like the Undead.
They hardly made any impact as the Undead continued their charge.
At the rear of the army.
Li Rong gripped her Magic Wand, her palms slick with sweat.
She reassured herself that being at the rear was safe while cursing Fang Hao for sending her into such danger.
A business talent and a woman on her own, what was wrong with him to station her here?
The hand clutching her Magic Wand turned white, drained of all color.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take you away the moment there’s any danger,” said Dark Elf Morse at Li Rong’s side.
As Li Rong’s protective hero, he was not subject to assignments from the army.
Besides, all other mages had been assigned personal guards as well.
“Okay, okay,” Li Rong’s voice trembled.
At that moment, a commanding voice called out nearby.
“Prepare the Magic Elemental projectiles! Fire!”
Whoosh!
In an instant, Fireballs, Water Orbs… a barrage of Magic Elementals arched towards the distance.
Compared to other, more powerful magics, these low-level, long-range Magic Elementals were better suited for large-scale, distant mass deployment.
The effect was almost akin to cannon fire in terms of coverage.
Furthermore, since these Magic Elementals were basic, even apprentices could demonstrate combat power.
Various colored Magic Elementals arced across the sky, forming domes above the battlefield.
They exploded upon landing among the charging Undead, flinging up traces of the elements.
“Watch out for enemy Magic Elementals!”
On the other side, Magic Elemental projectiles from the Undead tore through the sky and reached the human troops.
Boom Boom Boom!
In an instant, bodies were torn apart.
Dark energy began to spread everywhere.
Clergy members started praying, dispelling the spreading negative energy.
Despite this, the frenzied Undead smashed directly into the shield wall.
Like waves breaking over the ramparts, they surged over and through the iron barrier, attacking the humans.
