Chapter 184: Call Of The Tides [Part 2]



When the Skeleton Soldiers that numbered in the tens of thousands began to advance, they grit their teeth and waited for them to climb the city walls.

However, when the Necromancer called forth an army of Undead Flying Monsters, their expressions became grim.

Not only did they have to fend off the Skeleton Warriors climbing up the city walls, they also needed to fight against the flying threats that would soon swoop down from the sky.

The worst case scenario was for these Monsters to completely ignore the defenders on the city walls and descend upon the city, killing the women and children that were housed inside it.

The Magical Ballistas roared to life as they attacked the Flying Monsters that were desperately flying towards the city in the hope to escape the tentacles that had wiped out a quarter of their forces.

Lily\'s two Ice Foxes unleashed a barrage of Ice Bullets, shattering the bodies of the Flying Monsters that came within their range.

Although a good chunk of the enemy\'s forces had been destroyed, the rest of the Flying Monsters were able to break past the city walls, and descend upon the city.

The Warriors on the ground immediately engaged them, while those on the ramparts threw large-sized stones at the Skeleton Soldiers that were halfway up the wall.

They knew that arrows wouldn\'t do much against the Skeleton Soldiers, so they simply used stones to smash their bodies to pieces.

Fortunately, the Skeletons were weak against blunt attacks, so their strategy was quite effective.

After being unable to kill the Flying Monsters that had escaped its grasp, the Kraken shifted its attention to the Skeleton Soldiers on the walls, and under the water, smashing them all into bits.

The Necromancer didn\'t expect that the Tide Bringer had this Trump Card in his hands, and he felt as if his strategy to attack during the night had backfired on him.

Even so, what was done was done, so he could only grit his teeth and go with his second plan.

The warriors on the ground started to die one by one, as the battle raged on. Those that had died would suddenly rise up again, attacking their comrades, which made their hearts turn cold.

This was why fighting against a Necromancer was such a pain in the ass because as long as they were alive, they could continuously raise the dead, and fight for him for as long as he had the magical capacity to continue reconstructing their bodies.

Screams of horror and desperation spread in the city as former friends and family members killed each other, after they were revived by their enemy.

Ethan, who was on the wall, knew that things couldn\'t continue this way, because of this, he took out his wand and tapped it on his chest.

"Faerie Fuga!"

A pair of fairy wings grew on his back allowing him to fly.

Lily jumped off the ramparts and Ethan caught her in a princess carry as they descended towards the city in order to help the warriors defend against the Flying Monsters that had engaged them in close combat.

The moment they landed on the ground, Lily immediately transformed into her Demi-Wolf form and charged at the nearest Monster, destroying its body with a single kick.

Ethan, on the other hand, swung his trident, creating crescent slashes that sliced the Monsters in half.

The battle continued for nearly an hour before the sound of a horn spread in the night. It was the signal for retreat, and the surviving Undead Army retreated, leaving the defenders shaken and panting for breath.

Ethan stood amidst countless broken bones with a solemn expression on his face. Although they had managed to fend off the Necromancer\'s first assault, it didn\'t make him feel happy.

The number of Monsters that entered the city was nearly three hundred, and those three hundred managed to kill hundreds of their defenders before their bodies crumbled.

Originally, the number of casualties wasn\'t going to be that high because the Magical Ballistas assisted with cover fire.

However, the slain warriors were revived by the Necromancer and killed some of their comrades through surprise.

Also, three of the fifty magical Ballistas were also destroyed during the battle. Although this number was small, each Ballista was very precious, especially during times of war. Losing three of them was a great loss for the defenders.

The bodies of the fallen warriors were all collected and laid at the center of the plaza. The Great Chieftains looked at Ethan as if asking him what they should do with the bodies of their fallen tribesmen.

The handsome young man glanced at his "wife", who nodded her head and answered in his stead.

"We need to burn their bodies until only ash remains," Lily said firmly. "We can\'t afford to let these brave warriors raise their weapons and kill their friends, family, and tribe members.

"They wouldn\'t want that to happen, so we need to send them off with dignity. We don\'t know how long it will take for the enemy to regroup and mount another attack. Time is of the essence, so inform their family members of what needs to be done."

The Head Shaman, Safiya nodded.

"Create a large pyre, and lay our warriors around it," Safiya ordered. "I want their bodies burning within an hour. We will not allow the Necromancer to tarnish their honor!"

The warriors all roared in agreement and immediately set out to work.

A sigh escaped Ethan\'s lips as he looked at the dark clouds above his head.

He was certain that when morning came, another assault would come knocking on their door.

This time, the sea, and the Kraken would not be there to protect them.

They would have to fend for themselves against the living and the dead, who now realized that attacking them at night was a big mistake.

Ethan glanced at Lily and the latter nodded her head. She undid her transformation and walked up to him, holding his hand.

Sebastian needed less than two months to send them back to their own timeline.

However, only a few hours had passed after the battle and it made the two teenagers understand that this mission that they needed to overcome, was several times harder than they initially thought it was.

Also, Ethan\'s instincts were telling him that this first clash against the Undead Army had a deeper meaning in it.

However, due to the heaviness of the atmosphere, he set aside this thought for the time being because he was unable to think properly.

The young man watched with a solemn gaze as the warriors completed their funeral rites, which would send the spirits of their brothers to the lands of their Ancestors, while their mortal bodies burned in blazing flames, until nothing but ash remained.
