Chapter 658: The Battle Outside the City Gate

Bunduk rode on his horse and looked at the undead warrior who was running amok at the front of the team.

He could not help but think of a witchcraft that he had seen when he was traveling back in the day. It was said that it could push the human body’s skills to the extreme within a certain period. It was almost invincible. However, this kind of witchcraft was extremely harmful to the human body. After being immersed in it for a long time, the human organs would also rapidly decline in a short period of time. Therefore, only people with strong physiques could withstand the stimulation brought by this witchcraft in its early stages.

Its characteristics were not much different from what this undead warrior was currently displaying.

Bunduk could not help but wonder, “When did this undead clan start using this kind of witchcraft?”.

As what they planned, a group of cavalries rushed out from Bunduk’s right wing. They formed a straight line and rushed towards the undead warriors who had jumped down from the city gate.

They gathered together with the Swadian soldiers on the ground and surrounded the enemy tightly.

Following that, one after another, giant undead warriors jumped down from the city walls.

Every time they landed, there would be Swadian soldiers swarming over.

“Continue to attack the city gates!!” Bunduk commanded.

He finally saw clearly that these undead warriors were cannon fodder who had come to lead the charge.

Even though their combat strength was outstanding, they were still no match for the dozen or so Swadian soldiers.

Once the effects of the medicine on their bodies wore off, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Instead of wasting energy on them right now, it would be better to directly break through the city gates and investigate the situation.

“Rumble!” a group of soldiers brought out a war chariot loaded with wooden stakes from the rear of the camp and headed straight for the city gates.

Seeing this scene, the large undead warriors who were surrounded by the soldiers began to howl even more impatiently.

“Bang!” With all their might, they rammed into the shield formation of the Swadian Sergeants, knocking two to three of the soldiers who were relatively lighter over two meters away. The cavalries who were hiding behind them found an opportunity to rush forward and used their spears to pierce through the skull of the large undead warriors.

The giant undead warrior’s body froze, and his whole body seemed to have become stiff. He waved his arms, which were full of veins, wanting to chop the cavalries off their horses.

Seeing that the giant undead warrior was still standing, the surrounding soldiers followed suit and stabbed the sharp blades into his body before sprinting forward.

Finally, the giant undead warrior fell into a pool of blood. He closed his eyes unwillingly.

The moment he closed his eyes, he recalled how he was brought out of the dungeon with handcuffs on. He was forced to drink a tube of medicinal liquid.

He recalled how a noble undead in luxurious clothes said to him with a smile this morning, “If you don’t want to die, go and clean up the people outside the city gate.”

“Damn it…”

“Clang!!” the city gate of the Undead City was finally cracked, and the wooden gate fell to the ground.

“Charge!!” Bunduk waved his horsewhip and gave the order.

“Charge!!” The thousands of warriors behind him responded in unison, raising their weapons and following the leading team into the city gate.

Bunduk rode his horse into the city gate of the Undead City. However, he found that the entire city was lifeless. There was no panic, or the escaping residents. There were no undead warriors who had come out to face the enemy.

The buildings on the streets were not much different from those in human cities, but there was no trace of the smoke and fire of a bustling city in the human world.

The air seemed to be covered by a layer of temperature difference.

In this gloomy atmosphere, Bunduk got off his horse and led the soldiers forward slowly.

After walking through the entire street, there was no sign of any undead.

“Commander Bunduk, there seems to be something strange here.” a subordinate beside him said suspiciously.

“Take a team and search the city. Where did the undead hide? All of them suddenly disappeared. It’s impossible for not a single trace to be left behind.” Bunduk instructed.

“Yes! Follow me!” After the subordinate agreed, he picked a row of warriors from the team and followed him.

The group walked towards another street.

Bunduk walked forward for a while, and suddenly thought of something. He looked shocked. “Wait…”

“Huala!” A colorful firework bloomed under the gloomy sky.

It was a means of communication between the Drondheim warriors. The multi-colored firework represented safety, the yellow represented alarm, and the silver represented danger which warned them for retreat.

From the location, it seemed to have come from the center of the city.

Bunduk watched in doubt as the fireworks disappeared into the sky.

He suddenly thought of something: since the start of the battle, he had not received any reply from the scouts on the front line.

This was really strange. Normally, the scouts should have returned to the troops and fought alongside their companions.

Bunduk recalled the faces of the scouts he sent out, but he did not recall anything.

“Florent.” Bunduk called out the name of a subordinate. This person was often responsible for the management and distribution of military supplies.

Florent obeyed and saluted, “Yes, Commander.”

“Do you remember the names of the scouts sent out this time? I can’t remember who they are.” Bunduk asked.

Florent thought for a while and replied, “There are nine scouts sent out this time. Aldrich is the captain, and Angelo is the vice-captain.”

“Aldrich… Angelo…” Bunduk muttered the names of these two people.

He gradually remembered the identities of these two people. Aldrich was a soldier who joined the army five years ago, while Angelo was a platoon leader in the cavalry battalion four years ago.

Thinking back to their previous battles, these two people’s performance had always been very outstanding.

Therefore, after the routine health check a year ago, they were transferred to the scout troop.

In Bunduk’s impression, Aldrich was a very calm person. He didn’t speak much, but his age was about the same as his. Bunduk pondered for a moment, and then asked, “What about the other few? Who are they?”

Florent looked troubled and said hesitantly, “The others are freshmen who have joined the army in the past one to two years. I don’t really remember them. I’m sorry, Commander Bunduk.”

“Freshmen?” Bunduk’s expression darkened.

In that case, it was possible for the freshmen to lead the way and not obey the army’s discipline. However, this made Bunduk a little dissatisfied. These young people really didn’t know what was important.

“In the future, try not to let the freshman who are on the battlefield for the first time go to the front line to do reconnaissance.” Bunduk warned.

“Ah, okay, yes.” Florent wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied carefully.

In fact, these freshmen were quite familiar with him. They were usually quite lively in the army. When they heard that they were going to fight this time, they begged to go to the battlefield no matter what. However, they were obviously not familiar with military operations.

Florent had no choice but to give them a few spots on the training ground. He told them that they had to complete training missions every day and not drag their feet before they could go to the battlefield.

He did not expect these devilish kids to actually survive.

Florent had to put them in the less risky scout camp.
