1558 Chapter 1386: Clash 1
After releasing some of his stress he had accumulated through a steamy sex marathon Alex felt refreshed and he could now focus on the incoming battle, he recalled what he had seen in the enemy's camp.
The Night Wyvern was serious trouble. But Alex did have the ability to resolve this issue. A young Night Wyvern was between level 80 to 90 and with Maggie and Cecilia's strength with a good armor, they could resist it. However, they weren't guaranteed the victory since they were expert spell casters who were disadvantageous in close combat by nature. Moreover, the difference between their height and a five-floor-tall monster's was massive.
This would disrupt Alex's battle deployment and this left him in a huge headache.
Alex originally planned to make Maggie responsible for defense while Cecilia took on the high-level Necromancers. He lacked spell casters and there were only a number of them in the Demigod realm. Judging from the current situation, the 300 Necromancers team led by Vandal were above average in strength, but it was impossible for them to deal with the pincer attacks. Without the Night Wyvern, Alex was certain that there wouldn't be any problems.
The Night Wyvern made the situation complicated instantly. The Valkyries Army definitely couldn't take it down, so it was more practical to rely on Cecilia and Maggie. However, the two would be occupied and he had to find another way to destroy the Necromancers. Moreover, apart from the Necromancers, there was also the Vampire army. Fortunately, the Vampires could only unleash their powers in close combat and their strength would be greatly weakened in the enchanted field. Many of them would become weak and useless, which was the only good news.
It was due to this that Alex handed the duties of handling Necromancers to the Valkyries Army, especially the Dawn Valkyries. He had hoped that they could reserve their strength and serve as the trump card. But based on the current situation, they were the only ones who could easily settle the problem. Even though Alex was unwilling to reveal his trump card beforehand, he tolerated it after considering the Night Wyvern.
The leader of the Valkyries, Mila accepted the order and left after the meeting. Although Alex confidently promised her that Cecilia and Maggie could deal with the Night Wyvern, she insisted on reporting this situation to her highness. But she couldn't be blamed because the re-emergence of the Night Wyvern was a problem beyond this. After the Big War, almost every Wyvern went into isolation due to their injuries and never revealed themselves. This definitely wasn't a good sign.
Although the biggest problem was resolved, this didn't mean that Alex's job was much simpler now. A war wasn't simply a conflict between the strong troops. The lower-level troops were equally important. If not, why did the formidable powerhouses drag the entire population on this continent into the Big War where there wasn't a winner?
In terms of miscellaneous soldiers, Alex was in a complete disadvantage. He wished to pin his hopes on Scarlett to manipulate the fire elemental creatures and turn them against the Undead Army. But sje told him regretfully that even though that plane was an extension of the fire elemental plane of existence, the creatures living in that space weren't obedient. Perhaps she could control them if she regained her full strength, but based on her current condition, it would be impossible.
However, Alex did have other countermeasures.
The lobby of the fortress was as serene as ever. The whistling wind swept along the fluttering snow and tapped the windows along the corridor. Alex stood in the middle of the lobby and looked up at the ceiling for a moment before mumbling.
''Let's go welcome our guest.''
He disappeared shortly after.

A few moments later.

He stood above the city walls and gazed into the darkness. The world wouldn't be changed by the will of people. No matter how much they disliked it, the Undead Creatures wouldn't care about their feelings. Fortunately, it was peaceful in the fortress during this period of time. After they heard that the Undead Army was about to launch their attacks, the soldiers appeared rather anxious. He secretly observed that his men who participated in the previous battle were more confident. On the other hand, Bayer's men seemed concerned as it would be their first experience taking on the Undead Army. In order to prevent accidents, he split and merged them with his soldiers to 'infect' them with the confidence of the 'veterans'. Sometimes, simple speculations were more frightening than reality and Alex didn't wish to see his side crumble to delusions and fear before the war began.
Moonlight illuminated the leaves that rustled in the chilly night breeze. In contrast, the snowy field seemed as though a sheet of pure, white paper: eye-catching and dazzling.
Alex knitted his brows, at the same time cursing the Undead Creatures for always attacking at the worst possible times. But, he was also aware that they did this to make the enemies uncomfortable and for their own benefits. As Undead Creatures whose powers came from the source of darkness, they would be heading down a path of destruction if they revealed themselves under the sky of the Light mainland still under the blessing of Light dragon even if the former died since a long time ago. They didn't send out a thousand Vampire just to see them perish.
Everything will officially start tonight.
Alex took in a deep breath. The only thing that both sides had to do was to compete on patience and resources. The last side standing would be the victor while the loser would lose everything.
"Miss Mila." Alex turned around. "I'll be relying on you next. Everything will be fine if you go according to our plans."
The leader of the Valkyries Mila pondered for a moment with her eyes closed. Then, she looked at Alex and nodded firmly without any signs of fear and nervousness in her eyes. They were as clear as usual and with some burning determination.
"Of course, Sir Overlord. We're ready." Mila declared after a moment of silence.
"Good."
Alex nodded in satisfaction. He turned around and his expression became stern. He gazed at the map in his system interface where darkness was spreading across his territory.
