Chapter 947: Chapter 595, Attacking Black Horn City (Added for Alliance Hierarch ‘Path of Angels’).
After the “Gold Eating Queen – Amanda” suddenly disappeared.
A huge change occurred in the once “Kingdom of Anglina”.
Odys, previously a stationed general, overthrew the royal family within the city and placed himself upon the throne.
He became the new king.
The queen’s gold towers were toppled, and the old ministers were replaced one by one.
Soon after, the kingdom was renamed the Great Cemetery of Odys, and the royal city transformed into Black Horn City.
...
Various taxes emerged, turning the former kingdom into a complete undead graveyard.
The country also lost everything it once had.
When Odys realized he had ruined the kingdom himself, he began to seek new ways to fill the void within his domain.
After much thought, he planned a war against the human Federation.
Sadly, the war carefully planned by Odys and his supporters became a stepping stone for others, allowing the Blood Clan to take advantage of the situation.
With swift combat, they crossed the borders and approached Black Horn City.
The Blood Clan controlled the undead using rotten corpses.
Thus, the enormous number of skeletons made it hard to believe that the real enemy behind this wasn’t the Blood Clan.
But at this point, whoever was behind it no longer mattered.
Even knowing who it was wouldn’t solve the assault on Black Horn City.
“Whether the enemy is the Blood Clan or not doesn’t matter anymore, what’s important now is whether we can survive today,” Odys said.
The Corpse Witch Yarl shook his head, “Your Majesty, I can’t change anything about this situation, nor can I offer any advice to you.”
“Hmph! You always act this way, as if I killed Amanda,” Odys spoke angrily, “Fine, if you don’t want to talk then let’s leave it, and if we can’t defend the city, then we’ll die together. The Blood Clan won’t spare me, do you think they will spare you?”
Yarl remained silent, standing still.
Odys shouted angrily, “Fine, summon the guards, secure the museum, and execute anyone who dares to step outside.”
“Yes!”
A squad of skeleton guards surrounded the Viscera Museum.
Odys stormed off angrily while Yarl silently walked back into the museum.
…
Dusk.
Blood Clan army’s war room.
Nightstones hanging from above cast a soft light.
Illuminating the table below.
The room’s doors opened continuously.
Heroes entered one after another.
Everyone gathered around the table, waiting for the final briefing.
When everyone had arrived.
Amanda tapped the table lightly to direct everyone’s focus onto it.
The next second.
Amanda gestured with her hand.
A golden liquid flowed out from a necklace around her neck.
On the surface of the table, it formed a three-dimensional fortress city.
Amanda began, “Black Horn City, a Level 15 fortress, each side of the city walls equipped with both Arrow Towers and Magic Towers; one side has eight Arrow Towers and four Magic Towers.”
As she spoke, the golden model of the city started to change, showing the respective number of Arrow Towers and Magic Towers on the city walls.
This method of briefing a battle plan was new to everyone.
They listened intently with a sense of amazement.
Amanda continued, “The forces will be divided into three and will attack from the north, west, and east…”
The three-dimensional map on the table altered once more.
Golden soldiers moved from the north, west, and east in a concave formation toward the city.
Wyverns and Aerial Ships also joined the battlefield progressively as she described.
Amanda detailed extensively.
The 3D model actively evolved.
The timing for the Bone Dragons to enter, the role of the Skeleton Vultures, and when to involve the Aerial Ships were all laid out.
Even those unfamiliar with tactics could grasp the battle plans clearly.
As time went by, the briefing came to an end.
Once all the plans were completed.
“Amanda, why leave the southern city gate unguarded, what if they escape?” Meatfist eventually asked.
Amanda calmly responded, “Give them a chance to escape, and at the same time, it serves as a lesson for the Federation that small tricks should not be played lightly.”
A cornered enemy will unite and fight desperately.
But giving them hope will cause chaos within the city.
Odys would have to guard not only against the outside but also be wary of the inside.
Similarly.
The south leads directly to the human Federation.
Once they flee through the southern gate, they must continue south or else, with the Blood Clan’s enormous army, it would be easy to capture them if they went in any other direction.
The fleeing forces would again rush towards the border.
This would be enough to scare those cunning individuals in the Federation.
Also serving as a lesson for their scheming.
Amanda didn’t elaborate too much, only mentioning that she wanted to teach the Federation a lesson.
Meatfist scratched his skull, “Oh, I see.”
When everyone had no further questions about the battle.
Amanda nodded her head and gently clapped her hands, “Remember, after breaching the walls, kill the resistors, spare the surrendering and the innocents.”
“Yes!”
“Good, everyone return to your respective units, and prepare for the siege when night falls deep,” Amanda said gravely.
The attendees nodded and left the room.
…
The night slowly descended.
Clouds obscured the moon and stars.
The entire land seemed submerged in ink, pitch-black and unseen.
The only sounds were the dense footsteps and the grinding noise of bones rubbing together.
