The Resurrection Army that Daymond led made a surprise attack on the Expeditionary Force.
The giga-Demonic Spirits burst out, destroying the fortress gates.
Stomp — Stomp — Stomp!
Each step the Demonic Spirits took created a great quake.
The forces that were resting in the barracks immediately rose to their feet.
“It’s the enemy!”
“I never thought that they would launch a surprise attack!”
Perplexed looks were on the faces of lords who came leading many soldiers.
The sieges they’d experienced commonly started in the morning and ended in the evening. Late-night surprise attacks that would occur in real wars did not happen often.
Since it was favorable to simply keep watch inside the fortress. There was absolutely no reason to overexert themselves. Even if they tried to attack at night, since they knew it was dangerous, the fault of the users who weren’t there to participate in the charge was big.
Though they knew there was an extremely high chance that they might die, they didn’t want to organize a charge.
Though night raids on the supply carts occurred frequently in the war between Kallamore Kingdom and Haven Kingdom, in other areas there weren’t still were many people who had experienced a real war.
“Everyone get up and block them!”
“It’s a fight! Prepare to fight!”
Users ran out of the barracks.
When they got rest, the Soldiers played poker or drank alcohol, and were in a state where it was difficult to prepare for battle.
It would be difficult to drink alcohol in the war to come, so for the last time they could they drank too much, and thanks to that it looked like they would receive more damage.
‘Before we came here we passed an Isoru Kingdom village warehouse that cached many bottles of wine. Was it all for this?’
It was too childish to call it a strategy. Nevertheless, they accepted it because it was a surprising tactic that found the enemy’s weak spot.
The alcohol the Expeditionary Force had discovered while on the move was branded as supplies, and everyone drank aggressively before that alcohol completely ran out.
They had guzzled away with the motive of getting drunk.
“Damn it, to think they’d resort to petty tricks!”
Even as the inebriated users stumbled, they pulled out their swords and raised them.
In any case half of the Expeditionary Force was made up of Paladins and Priests. Since it was out of the question for them to have partake in the alcohol, the drunken users intended to leave the fight to them and hide; there was no need to stand in the front and fight the enemy.
But strangely enough, their swords felt much heavier than usual.
- You have caught a disease.Health and Mana is reduced.
Breathing is more difficult and coughs occur. If you do not receive appropriate treatment soon the disease may be aggravated.
The epidemic had spread to the camp.
A crossing rat swarm had suddenly appeared around the barracks.
“Cleric, Priest sirs! Where are you?”
“Please cure this disease!”
The users sought the Clerics and Priests first.
But the Priests who were capable of treating them were in a place that was already being attacked by a horde of flying Demonic Spirits.
This was the advance of the Resurrection Army. It wasn’t a simple night attack, but an all or nothing attack done by amassing all of the Demonic Spirits.
ROAAAAR!
“Ahhhhh!”
“Fight with the enemy. Where did everyone go!”
“Run away!”
“Fight, don’t run away!”
The surprise attack of the last night of the month drove the Expeditionary Forces to near extinction.
The Resurrection Army gathered the lives of those who were barely alive, and gained more Demonic Spirits and comrades.
Every time they occupied castles and towns, they emerged victorious against other churches and destroyed their temples, their strength and authority rose!
Daymond, who gathered the forces, left after defending Isoru Kingdom, and once again resolved to go South. It was to take over the land once ruled by the Predators of the Land.
Another Expeditionary Force was raised, and the castle lords in the Resurrection Army’s attack route gathered the best forces in their territories.
Places where the Resurrection Army passed through became paradise for Demonic Spirits.
