Chapter 175: Falling Through the Night Sky
Round and round it went, yet all of Southern Territory’s problems still could not avoid the army of undead.
Medivh, who had originally wanted to take a shortcut by capturing the ringleader first, could now only take the captured Rona with him and hurry overnight toward the Honeywater City battlefield.
Southern Territory’s upper ranks had already fallen into obsession. If Oswald were here, he would probably present them with six words on the spot: independence or death.
But the problem was that external enemies were watching from every side, and internal calamities were occurring one after another. Whether humanity itself could survive this crisis was already unknown, so what made Southern Territory think it could abandon ship and survive alone?

Moreover, was their method of resolving the calamity not still to throw all the trouble onto the Central Region? An undead calamity capable of causing contamination would lead an army of over a hundred thousand undead into the Central Region...
When that time came, the Central Region would likely have no choice but to form an alliance of desperation with Northern Territory.

Driving the carriage out of Bountiful City, Medivh used his staff to blast down the city gate and stop the guards from pursuing. Then he raced along the flat land without pause.
The moon was bright, and the stars were sparse. The wind scattered his gray-white hair, and Medivh’s heart sank to rock bottom.
The goddess’ punishment was far too cruel. Even if the holders of the Wishing Stars had triggered curses, what were these undead calamities supposed to be?
Where exactly did the future lie?

When he arrived at Herman’s old castle, Medivh tightened the reins and shouted to Herman, who had hurriedly run out, “Take my token and immediately use the teleportation array to go to the Royal Capital!”
“Tell His Majesty that the Duke of Southern Territory has been corrupted by the undead calamity, and a great battle is about to break out at any moment! Also, have His Majesty notify Duke Oswald that the calamity has reappeared, and ask him to step forward no matter what!”
An undead calamity?!
In his panic, Herman caught the Mana ring Medivh tossed to him, then looked at the monster bound behind the carriage and hurriedly swallowed.

“Yes, I will go at once!”
After arranging for someone to deliver the message, Medivh did not stop for even a moment. He drove the carriage eastward once more.

If Luna Charles truly died in battle in Southern Territory, the entire kingdom would be set ablaze in an instant by Duke Oswald’s fury.
Moreover, Medivh knew very well that although that girl Luna seemed unreliable, she was actually the bridge of communication between the Central Region and Northern Territory. Only she could obtain both His Majesty Frank’s and Duke Oswald’s trust.
Damn it. He truly was muddled with age. He had thought that acting early would divert the southern army’s attention and ease Luna’s pressure. He had never expected that the Duke of Southern Territory would be staying right among the army of undead!
...
On September 15, before dawn, in a dense forest about thirty kilometers away from Honeywater City, the army lying in wait was utterly silent.
The scouts sent out returned one after another, but the reports they brought back left Luna agitated.

She had originally wanted to attack from both sides with Kate, first defeating the reinforcements outside Honeywater City, then gathering their forces to attack Honeywater City. However, what she had not expected was that most of those reinforcements had garrisoned themselves southwest of Honeywater City, in a key military town called Greenfield Town.
Greenfield Town not only blocked Kate’s route of attack, but could also charge out from behind at any time while the Northern Army was attacking Honeywater City, catching them off guard.
The adjutant spoke calmly and began discussing the situation with the officers. “It seems we can only pull out this nail called Greenfield Town first.”
Another palace guard officer retorted, “The key is to determine the number of defenders in Honeywater City. Part of the southern army’s elites are in Silver City, and another part is in Freeman’s hands. As long as there are not too many defenders, even if Honeywater City’s defenses have been reinforced, we can still storm into the city.”
The female soldier smiled disdainfully. “So while attacking Honeywater City, aside from guarding against the reinforcements from Greenfield Town, we also have to worry about Freeman cutting off our retreat?”
Federico immediately piled on with a sneer. “Do not just talk. If you think it is easy, go serve as the vanguard.”

“You...”
Luna simply used a towel to wipe the dust from her face, then tied up her hair again. She stared at the map on the wall for a long time without coming back to herself, only speaking after a long while.

“Discuss things if you want to discuss them. Everyone here is a brother or sister from the same military camp. Watch your words.”
“If I hear you mocking your own brothers and sisters again, you will be dealt with under military law.”
Everyone’s expressions turned stern, and they hurriedly knelt and saluted.
“Yes, Young Lady.”

Luna had just turned her head back when she saw Teemo, who had been like a dragon whose head was seen but not its tail these past two days, jog into the tent.
He ignored everyone kneeling on the ground, yet felt this scene was somehow familiar. Scratching his head, he reported, “Young Lady, I found the main force of the southern army commanded by Freeman!”
Luna’s eyes instantly flashed, and she asked urgently, “Where?”
If they could find Freeman’s troops, then this battle was still very much worth fighting. They could first crush Freeman, then head south to rendezvous with Kate and annihilate the reinforcements inside Greenfield Town.

Finally, they would complete the feint attack on Honeywater City.
Regardless of whether they could take Honeywater City in the end, this trip would count as having achieved its strategic objective. One had to know that they had their own territory in Southern Territory. At worst, they could return, reorganize the army, and fight again.

Teemo quickly walked up to the map. After carefully comparing the terrain, he stretched out a finger and tapped a flat road.
“They are right here, west by south, less than fifteen kilometers from us.”
“Less than fifteen kilometers ...”
Luna focused on that small point and could not help drawing in a breath of cold air. Fortunately, they had been taking mountain roads recently and had not exposed their movements.
If they had gone a little farther south, they likely would have fallen into the enemy’s encirclement again.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The southern reinforcements had chosen to shrink back into Greenfield Town and had failed to provide accurate intelligence to Freeman’s troops.

“Pass down my order. The entire army breaks camp. We are going to meet our old opponent again!”
At four in the morning, the winds and clouds rose once more.
The fierce wind rustled through the forest. Then, torrential rain came pouring down. The Northern Army was indeed hindered in its advance, but such a thunderstorm perfectly concealed the noise produced by their march.
The heavy rain washed the mud from armor and weapons. The warhorses beneath them snorted heavily. Not far away, the lights of the temporary camp flickered endlessly. The patrolling soldiers all hunched their bodies and did not notice at all that a large army was quietly approaching.
BOOM!
Lightning tore through the black curtain, raising the curtain on the war.

The adjutant, charging at the very front, raised the spear in his hand high. He urged his horse forward with lifted hooves and roared, “Brothers, follow me and kill!”
“Kill!”

The charging warhorses beat dense drumbeats into the rainy night. Freeman woke with a start amid the urgent sound of bronze gongs.
“Damn Northern Army! They actually found my position!”
There was no escape. Freeman understood this point with perfect clarity. In this weather and environment, the moment he gave the order to retreat, the army would immediately collapse.
“Meet them! Meet them head-on!”

Freeman, who had just put on his armor, carried his saber and came outside the tent. The rain made the night’s visibility rough and indistinct. He had just ordered his long-saber personal guards to meet the enemy when he saw countless figures fleeing while being swept along by the cavalry.
“Beat the gongs! The louder, the better!”
Ordinary military orders were already useless. Freeman arranged for his personal guards to strike the bronze gongs frantically, using the sound to attract the soldiers’ attention while personally leading his guards forward to meet the enemy.
The military camp was in complete chaos. Warhorses surged into the camp, setting off unstoppable, bloody slaughter. The dying screams of soldiers even drowned out the sound of the bronze gongs.

However, Freeman’s personal guards were not pushovers either. They mercilessly cleared away the fleeing soldiers who crashed into them, then let out furious roars and met the torrent of the Northern Army head-on.
The melee erupted once more. The moment the personal guards of both sides met, they unleashed their full force. It was still the same frenzied style of fighting that ignored casualties. The long-saber personal guards swiftly piled up a battle line with the corpses of both enemies and allies.

Freeman shook the blood from his saber, and his mind steadied slightly. But just as he was about to continue gathering troops to throw into the attack, he saw the cavalry rapidly retreat to both sides, revealing an array of tightly packed spearmen.
An ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart. Freeman froze and looked up, only to see long spears hurled from the spear formation, so dense they seemed even more numerous than the rain. They converged into a gale, falling in a dark mass through the night sky as they slammed ferociously toward his personal guard unit!
