Since the Legion of the Undead captured the town of Forens, although they killed all the defenders, the Legion's offensive has been slowed down.
The bones of the guardians covered the entire city, and the situation was terrifying. The undead warriors marched on the bones of the defenders, making a "click" sound.
As the undead army's offensive slowed, the human counterattack began.
The imperial court of the empire was destroyed, the emperor and many others were killed by the undead. So the emperor's nephew Ruoshid inherited the emperor's seat, became emperor with the support of everyone, and rebuilt the imperial court in the southern town of Utterstel.
Utterstel is a small city in the south. When the undead launched an invasion in the north, many retreating troops and horses from the north gathered here.
Rohid knew he had to revive people's courage to resist the undead, otherwise there would be no hope for humanity.
Therefore, on the one hand, he made speeches to boost morale, and on the other hand, he scattered his property, recruited new troops, and regrouped his forces to prepare for the north to fight the enemy.
At this time, legions led by some southern generals came to Utterstel, and the strength of Rohid's army was further strengthened.
This is also known as the "Utterstel Dynasty".
Due to the fall of the empire in the north, Rohid knew he could no longer be emperor, so in the following year, Rohid announced that he had resigned from the emperor's seat and was demoted to Archduke Utterstel. In the same year, he established the Duchy of Utterstel to resist the invasion of the Undead Legion.
In order to further win the support of the people, Rohid gave up the position of the Grand Duke of Utterstel and reorganized the Grand Duchy into the city-state of Utterstel, and Rohid was elected as the consul.
Under the city-state system, people can have free elections, as opposed to under the imperial system, where people are just subjects of the emperor.
As a result, people's enthusiasm for resistance against the enemy was stimulated.
The revenge of the Undead Legion was quick, and they soon surrounded Utterstel, but Utterstel had already sent messengers for help to the generals in the south, so reinforcements from the Imperial Legion would soon arrive.
In order to defend the city and inspire fighting spirit, Rohid personally led the army to confront the undead army outside the city. Rohid shouted in front of the battle: "Brothers, we have nowhere to go! Behind is our city! Kill, rush, for the city's sake.
As a result, the 80,000 city defenders fought desperately against the undead army with their backs against the city wall, and the blood of countless defenders splashed on the city wall.
The battle lasted for 15 days. When the last reinforcements arrived, only 100 of the 80,000 defenders survived. Rohid was also killed in the battle.
Utterstel's city wall has absorbed enough blood of the defenders to become a "blood wall".
Every summer, the blood inside the city wall will flow out, always reminding people of the fierce battle that took place here.
