Chapter 1052: 1052
The Dark Temple besieged the fortress for three days . The attacks made in these three days cost the Dark Temple 200 million Undead . But even with this much loss, they had yet to touch the fortress walls, they haven’t even reached the moat . . The fortress’ firepower was just too powerful .
This was the Dark Temple’s first encounter with this type of defense . They really didn’t know what to do . Although these Undead were practically unafraid of death, not being able to even come in contact with the enemy made them frustrated . At this point, the morale of the Dark Temple’s army was at an all time low .
The leaders of the Dark Temple Army also didn’t know what to do . Actually, the Dark Temple had no formal army . With this setup, it would be impossible for them to capture the fortress .
However, the Dark Temple Army still haven’t retreated . They were waiting for reinforcements to arrive . They sent their message three days ago . At the earliest, the reinforcements would take ten days . Because of this, the Dark Temple Army could only wait . At this time, they were afraid of attacking the fortress . If they kept attacking, then they would no doubt be wiped out .
The Dark Temple gathered 500 million Undead for this army . And in only three days, they lost 200 million . If things kept going as it is, they wouldn’t last ten days .
The Dark Temple’s high-ranked Undead were initially thinking of attacking themselves . However, the results weren’t ideal . Addison and the others simply didn’t allow them to make a move .
Although they made a few more rounds of attacks, the fortress’ defenses didn’t give them any opportunity to succeed . Not to mention the fact that Addison and the others were present on top of the walls . In this case, the high-ranked Undead had no choice but to surround the fortress without attacking .
While this was happening, Zhao Hai was paying attention to the Dark Temple’s response . The people sending the message were very fast . Since there was no need to move alongside an army, they were free of an enormous burden . It didn’t take long for them to reach the Dark Temple .
Currently, the Dark Temple was facing against the Neutral Alliance . It may even be possible that they were just waiting for the news about the Resistance Army’s defeat .
Since the battle of the fortress was put on hold, Lizzy finally had time to relax . Actually, it can be said that the fortress was already completely defensible . Especially in the Underworld where the Dark Temple didn’t have a lot of strategies in their attacks . Because of this, Lizzy was able to accomplish her task with ease . She hasn’t even used the Blood Spirit Beasts in the moat . The beasts were prepared as the main dish to oppose the incoming Army .
In the next few days, the fortress was quite calm . Although Zhao Hai had the strength to easily kill them all, this action would just alert the Dark Temple . Therefore, Zhao Hai just kept his hand and waited for the Dark Temple to make a decision .
Just like Zhao Hai calculated, the messengers reached the Dark Temple with the report at the proper time . Although the Dark God was in a murderous phase right now, he still transferred troops over towards the Blood River in order to eradicate the Resistance Army .
The Dark God’s present stance confirmed Zhao Hai’s theories . The Dark God was certainly an incarnation . Moreover, it seems like he can’t leave the Dark Temple . This was absolutely good news for Zhao Hai .
Since the Dark Temple’s Army had already been dispatched, readjusting their position was very quick . Zhao Hai calculated that they would take ten days to arrive at the Blood River, but in fact it only took them nine days .
There were a lot of Undead who were left behind in this operation . Looking at the messy march, Zhao Hai didn’t know what to say . If he cannot win against this kind of enemy, then he might as well kill himself with a slab of tofu .
The army sent by the Dark Temple this time numbered 5 billion . There would also be a continuous stream of reinforcements coming over in the next few days . However, this number of troops wasn’t a lot in Zhao Hai’s eyes . If he wasn’t planning on ending this war as soon as possible, then he could just abandon his plan of attacking the Temple and instead he would just slowly march his army forward while killing everything they meet .
This time, the Dark Temple sent most of their troops towards the Blood River . The Dark Temple’s Divine City only had 500 thousand Undead left inside . Although this city looked just like a trading hub, as long as an emergency arrives, everyone can become qualified soldiers . After all, each Undead in the Underworld were born fighters .
Also, there were four satellite cities around the Divine City . Each city had about 200 thousand Undead . When necessary, these Undead could present an army with strength that couldn’t be underestimated .
Zhao Hai discovered that the Undead in the Divine City wouldn’t be used in battle . It seems like the Dark God was very careful . However, Zhao Hai was already prepared for this situation . It was impossible for the enemy to not protect itself . As long as a large enough army was prepared by the Dark Temple, Zhao Hai wouldn’t care about those who were left behind .
