Chapter 345 – Conditions For Survival
On the other side, Alice was in a bad mood. Less than 100 of the 500 cavalrymen had returned.
It seemed that the enemy had known about their ambush in advance. Could it be that there was a mole in his own team?
Lei Luo shook his head in distress. He walked out of the tent and looked at the exhausted soldiers around him.
At this time, the morale of the soldiers had fallen to the lowest point. Was it rare that these hundreds of thousands of soldiers would lose their lives here?
This war had already failed.
Six hundred thousand undead creatures were absolutely unimaginably powerful on this continent.
Now, she should think about how to keep these soldiers alive.
She couldn't just watch these generals who lived together day and night lose their lives, right.
Thinking of this, Alice sighed again.
She looked ahead uneasily. Could they really get out of the predicament there?
At this moment, right in front of the team, a huge magic array was operating. An endless stream of undead creatures was appearing from the magic array.
"Reporting, general! The place is only five thousand meters away from us now!" a scout said to Alice in a panic.
"What! How can it be so fast!" Alice said in surprise.
Then, she understood.
"What should we do? The skeleton soldiers don't need to rest at all, but the soldiers need to rest. What should we do?"
"Give me the map!"
Alice made a prompt decision and spread out the topographic map of the area.
The map clearly showed that the army was at the intersection of Three Gorges.
Alice looked at the road in front of the army with worry.
It was easy to be ambushed there.
Alice was a little hesitant and immediately ordered, "Get all the scouts out immediately! Make sure to check the terrain in front and see if there is an ambush!"
"Yes, general!"
The scouts accepted the order and Alice sat down with her hands on her head.
She felt very tired after being mentally and physically exhausted for so many days.
However, the current situation made her unable to relax. Alice felt that she needed a hug now. She even thought that after this war was over, she could just marry anyone.
In the army, especially a woman, the pressure was too great.
"Phew…"
Alice held her head and let out a long sigh of relief.
Now was not the time to think about these things.
It was better to think about how to solve the problem in front of her.
At this moment, the sound of galloping horses could be heard from outside the tent.
Following that, a scout ran in in a panic and said in fear, "Not good! General! A large number of skeleton soldiers have appeared in front of us. There are at least hundreds of thousands of them!"
"What!" Alice's heart gradually sank.
According to the intelligence report, there were now a total of 900,000 undead creatures. There was no strength left on the mainland that could stop them.
There was no other way. There was only one path that they could take now.
"Pass down the order. We will continue to advance westward."
Alice looked at the only path and sighed deeply.
Would it really be safe there?
After a day of marching, Alice finally felt despair.
In front of a larger valley, Alice could clearly see that the valley ahead had collapsed due to external attacks.
Now the entire army was completely surrounded here.
Alice looked at the exhausted and desperate soldiers around her, and for the first time, Alice had the impulse to cry.
But Alice knew that she had to endure it.
Once she showed her weakness, the morale of the team would collapse.
There was no other way. Alice quickly ordered the team to rest and then find an opportunity to attack.
Although Alice thought that the success rate of doing so was almost zero, in order to stabilize the morale, Alice could only quickly give orders.
Three days later, Alice still could not do anything to them.
In the three days, the troops broke through the encirclement countless times.
However, each time they suffered heavy losses. The other party did not seem to be in a hurry to attack. They only blocked her in front of the mountain pass. What exactly were they planning to do?
Suddenly, an idea came to Alice's mind. They were waiting for her.
This was a pure female intuition. Looking at the low morale of the soldiers, Alice gritted her teeth and decided to go to the enemy's camp alone.
Looking at the densely packed skeleton soldiers in front of her, Alice took a deep breath and carefully approached them.
Suddenly, all the skeleton soldiers looked at Alice.
Alice was so shocked that she did not dare to move.
Once she was attacked, she would definitely die without a burial ground.
"Ka… ka…"
Such sounds continued to ring out.
All the skeletons retreated to both sides.
A wide road appeared in the middle.
Alice took a deep breath. It seemed that she had guessed correctly.
Looking at the tent in the distance, Alice walked forward step by step.
The more Alice walked, the more frightened she became. From just now until now, she had never seen a single tinder.
Could it be that these nearly 900,000 undead creatures were all controlled by the same person?
Alice knew that the necromancer's spiritual power was in direct proportion to the undead creatures he controlled.
If he could control so many undead creatures at the same time, his spiritual power would be unimaginable.
Cold sweat broke out on Alice's forehead.
Looking at the tent in front of her, she took a deep breath and stepped in.
The tent was not big. The moment Alice arrived at the door, she saw a silver-haired man wearing a mask sitting by the bed.
There was a beautiful blonde girl lying on the bed.
"You're finally here."
Lei Luo chuckled.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm the husband of the Ice Queen and the Prince of the Blue Moon Kingdom."
Alice sighed and kneeled on the ground. "Your highness, please let my troops go…"
Lei Luo did not expect that Alice was so smart.
It was as though she immediately understood what Lelo meant.
However, if he said that, his conditions were not very good.
Lei Luo looked at Alice's beautiful face and said with a smile, "Let you go? After I let you go, you will attack me again?"
Alice was speechless because this was indeed a matter of interest.
Alice thought of those poor soldiers in the army and could not help but muster up the courage to say, "That's hundreds of thousands of lives!"
Lei Luo, on the other hand, said indifferently, "Hundreds of thousands? Count how many people have died since the rebellion started. What do you mean by this 'hundreds of thousands'?"
"But…But…"
Alice wanted to say something else.
Lei Luo interrupted her rudely, "But, there's still a chance for them to live. It depends on whether you agree or not."
"What's the condition?"
Alice raised her head.
