Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich - Chapter 776

Chapter 776: Final Battle Part 1
At the same time that the humans' major counterattack began on the western battlefront, a major change also occurred on the eastern battlefront.

Pincer attacks were quite a common war strategy. However, in order for pincer attacks to be truly effective rather than just suicidal, the most important part was timing.

Back when the western battlefront was still quiet, the eastern battlefront was already quite raucous at 3:30 in the morning, the time when people would usually be the most tired.

"It's a night ambush!"

The devils shouted a warning that echoed in the night. None of them had expected that the human alliance would ambush them at such a time in the night.

Out of all the species, humans were probably the least suited for night battles. Humans didn't have infrared heat sensing abilities like the snakemen, or night vision like the elves. Humans were basically blind without sunlight or other lighting.

Meanwhile, devils possessed night vision, along with soul vision that allowed their "field of vision" to far surpass that of any human. Not to mention, light would never have any effect on undead vision to begin with.

One side had vision that was the same in night and day while also being able to see several thousand meters far. The other side could only see a few meters away at night. All tricks and combat strategies would be nothing more than a joke. For any warrior fighting on the frontlines, not being able to see the enemy's attacks clearly would lead directly to death.

Humans weren't good at fighting night battles. This was common sense in the world already. Yet, today, the humans really did choose a night battle against the devils and undead who could see in the night just as if it was day.

Still, the devils and undead immediately learned why the humans chose this time of night, and what gave the humans the confidence to challenge the rulers of the night during the nighttime.

Balls of light started rising up into the sky. Pure Holy Light began to transform the dark night into a bright sky. The pure Holy Light also began to cleanse and dispel the Chaos distortions. The undead and devils actually felt quite warm and comfortable all over, without realizing that a fatal threat was right before them.

But as for the Undead Lords who participated in the previous battle, the nightmare from yesterday's battle reenacted itself despite how combat reports clearly said how Roland was currently on the eastern battlefront.

Numerous white-robed Southern Sect priests were currently combining their spellcasting powers under these balls of Holy Light. Their elite Holy Knights and temple guardians served as their protection.

These strong Holy Knights wore thick silver armor while holding a holy silver hammer in one hand and a tower shield emblazoned with a cross and holy sword in the other hand. They also carried heavy rusty crosses on their backs. These were the Southern Cross Knights, the Southern Sect's most elite Holy Knight troop type.


At this moment, every Southern Cross Knight brought out the cross from their back. These bloody crosses contained the blood of those who had sacrificed themselves for the sake of the Southern Sect. These crosses which were blessed by holy blood then erected numerous circular defensive barriers.



The barriers didn't protect a large area, but they were more than enough to protect the Southern Sect priests.

Due to the blessing of the balls of Holy Light in the air, the barriers became even more holy and solid, and evil spells and arrows were immediately cleansed before even getting close. Meanwhile, in the sky, the ambushers' dragon knights had already begun fighting with bone dragons.

Southern Sect priests kept sweating profusely and then retreating weakly, exhausted from the spellcasting. Other priests would then immediately replace them. Some of the Holy Light balls would dim during this process, but none of the Holy Light balls ever went out.

Every spellcasting team involved at minimum three Legend-ranked priests or above. They still had trouble just maintaining the Holy Light balls with this since they were casting a new type of Holy Light spell that had only been created recently: "Roland's Dawn".

The theory behind this spell was copied from Roland's Dawn Holy Light sword. He felt that only him being able to use it would have too many limitations, so he repeatedly modified the spell formula until this lower-level version of Dawn's light was born.

But due to the lack of the highest-quality resources and Myth-ranked weapons, and because ordinary priests wouldn't possibly have as much affinity for Holy Light as Roland, this so-called Saint-rank level spell actually had Level 4 difficulty along with requiring a tremendous upkeep.

Despite this, once the Southern Sect proved with experiments that this Divine Art was incredibly effective against undead and Chaos Abyss residents, the Southern Sect unhesitatingly began to practice this spell for standardized use.

It was required that the priests learn this high-level spell in just a short few weeks. Even with Roland's total support in providing spell formula information, this was still incredibly difficult. The Southern Sect had utilized its full power and resources in order to activate 15 "suns" here today. In fact, even the Southern Sect's pope was personally here leading things on the eastern battlefront.



That was right, the Southern Sect was out here in full force, with more than 70% of its main forces and Holy Light job classes.

Meanwhile in the sky, scorching hot dragonbreath, blueish-white icy dragonbreath, corrosive green smoke dragonbreath, and so on kept streaking through the sky. The armored dragons charged at the forefront. The infamous evil color dragons were actually fighting for the sake of the humans here.

The undead army's numbers were obviously diminished after suffering losses in multiple battles. While low-level forces could easily be reobtained, bone dragons were permanently limited in number. Shupnus had no way at all of replenishing bone dragons, since he was unable to return to the Death Planes.

Dawn's light kept shining as the weakened bone dragons found themselves locked in combat with powerful dragon knights. These bone dragons were instantly defeated before they could even react. This time, the dragon knights had also received advice on the primary weak spots on a bone dragon's body from the ancient bone dragon Gricasio, which helped to make the dragon knights' attacks even more effective.

"Bone dragons have two primary weak spots. The first is the spine as hundreds of bones are connected there, making the spine bone an exquisite yet fragile bone. A simple blow will cause the skeleton to come apart. The other weak spot is the wing bone…

"The weak spot of a gargoyle? Those are mostly created from corrupted statues, and they're just rocks, so they don't have any obvious weaknesses. But since they are made from stone, they're half earth elemental and half undead creatures, so they're really afraid of wind element attacks which are strong against earth, along with petrification magic that can make them lose their undead property. Petrification can turn them into real statues again, equaling an instant KO."

The Northlands' undead advisors unhesitatingly revealed all sorts of undead troops' weaknesses. The human command center even contacted Dragon City in Bardi to deal with the undead aerial forces which were the greatest threat. This color dragon Dragon City managed to send five Copper and Bronze Dragons that possessed strong petrification magic.



The current battle proved that these pre-combat preparations were highly successful. The Copper Dragons were tremendously effective at eliminating gargoyles.

The few bone dragons present were having an even more pitiful time. The new devil commander didn't value the undead's most precious high-level troop at all. The bone dragons received a forced command to "eliminate the human mages no matter the price", meaning that they could only attack and not retreat. These bone dragons were instantly surrounded by a much larger number of dragons, and were instantly eradicated.

The bone dragons kept falling apart, turning into dust in death before even landing on the ground. The flying bone dragons and gargoyles were defeated so swiftly that they couldn't even act as cannon fodder. The devils following right after them weren't even able to use them as a shield, and thus directly faced the dragons' attacks.

And after stopping the enemy's aerial forces, Bardi's royal dragon knights and Auland's White Wolves simultaneously showed themselves under Dawn's illumination.

They directly charged into the devils' formation. These brave warriors wanted fresh blood on their metal weapons to wash away the humiliation from the previous days.

Strategically speaking, the eastern battlefront was only supposed to occupy the enemy's attention, but the moment that the devils showed any weakness, the humans would instead change plans to an all-out assault.

Currently, I should have been on the sidelines of the battlefield and observing, but I was astonished by some news that I suddenly received.

"Leona has gone missing? Karwenz isn't even letting go of his own woman and child?"
