The war between the Boneyard and the Rhine Federation that took place in early 1788 in the Holy Calendar was known as the First Undead Natural Disaster War in history. At the beginning of the war, the Rhine Federation won a brilliant victory, crushing the enemy's sea of ​​skeletons under the city of Berlin, and launched Under the rule of the undead, the raid on Richid City even defeated the necromancer group led by three legendary lichs, and put two of the legendary lichs into a phylactery state, unable to be resurrected for at least a few years. Even the great immortal king Bardes personally went to battle, but was repelled by more than a dozen legendary strongmen from the Rhine Federation, as well as a helper secretly invited by Ludwig's administration, and an ancient legendary red dragon. New Wagt Castle is the source of the dark sky and the base camp of the undead on the Oriente continent.

The war between the Boneyard and the Rhine Federation was studied by countless continental political forces and military observers. At the beginning, many people were shocked by the hidden combat power of the Rhine Federation. This was a legendary powerhouse in double digits. Richide City's The battle even caused the earth to subside. The city originally located on the Great Plains completely disappeared, and the entire area turned into a new lake.

The dark sky that shrouded the northern Rhine Federation not only stopped expanding, but even began to shrink abnormally. It seemed that the undead-infested land could be recovered in a matter of seconds.

With the first great victory outside Berlin and the decisive victory under Richeder City, the terrifying pressure brought by the Dark Parliament seemed to have completely dissipated. When Ludwig was in power, he would encounter five people begging him to send an army to recover whenever he wanted to eat. Landless nobles and lords. Even the most pessimistic people before the war began were now filled with optimism that the war would soon be over, that the Confederation of the Rhine would undoubtedly win the war and drive the enemy from their homeland once and for all.

Even the most calm and prudent Commander von Neumann could only follow the trend and situation under such circumstances, organized an elite army and advanced to Fort Neuwagt for the final decisive battle.

However, the outcome of the war made countless historians sigh with regret. In the final decisive battle of Neuwagtburg, the Knights of the Rhine, who went deep alone, were besieged by the natural disaster army. The dark sky that had been closed once again opened up, covering the sky at noon. The sun was completely covered and turned into a dark eternal night.

The defeat of the three legendary lichs was just an illusion, and the defeat of the undead king Bardes was even more of a ruse. The undead king who made a comeback used the "Lament for Death", which was very powerful even among the nine-ring legendary spells, and instantly deprived the three of them of their power. The legendary lich entangled the extremely strong vitality of the ancient legendary red dragon who was trapped in a bitter battle, and transformed him into a skeletal death dragon!

Undead King Bardes has used all his trump cards. He has been running the New Waggart Castle for half a year, and it has already become the home of the undead. The huge undead magic array buried underground can not only build the legendary level of "Dark Sky Curtain" The strategic spell, and when the decisive battle entered the most critical moment, another nine-ring legendary spell "Reincarnation of the Dead" broke out on the rear wing of the Knights of the Rhine, transforming these Rhine Knights admired by the undead king Bardes into real undead. .

This battle can be called the heroic end, the end of the epic, and the prelude to the dark craze. All the main elites of the Rhine Federation were destroyed, and all the strong men above the legend level were wiped out. In the end, von Neumann burned himself out and burst out with the power of the holy realm. After holding back the undead king Bardes, the only participants in the battle were Reinhard and Jenna, who managed to escape under the protection of Kelsud, the will of the deep cold.

Three days later, the undead army captured the entire Rhine Federation, and the dark sky expanded over every piece of land in the federation. At this point, the first undead natural disaster war ended.

After Ludwig died in power, Reinhardt took over the throne from his father and led the last resistance army into the mountains and forests southeast of the Rhine Federation, vowing to defeat the undead and eventually regain the entire homeland.

If the initial Army of the Boneyard still needed top leaders such as the undead King Bardes and the legendary Lich to fight in person, then with the death of the Knights of the Rhine outside the New Waggart Castle, one after another of the living knights was Transformed into a death knight.

Bardes's reincarnation spell is almost perfect. Each transformed death knight not only retains the bravery and independent thinking ability of his life, but also masters the power of coldness and death. In addition to listening to the undead king Bard, they must Sri Lanka's control is completely an independent individual and existence.

Except for von Neumann, who finally burned himself, he was unable to complete the transformation. His body and soul were studied in depth by more than ten necromancers. Others ranged from the Second Knight of the Rhine, Hessmann, the Great Lord Schweintag and Halder. All the Rhine knights became death knights, loyal to the immortal king Bardes, and became the commander of the new undead army.

With the help of the battle to conquer the Rhine Federation, the immortal king Bardes finally expanded his undead army. He almost perfectly completed the first step of the strategic plan. As he continued to digest the newly conquered land, he also began to turn his attention downwards. A country destined to be conquered.

The fall and collapse of the Rhine Federation far exceeded the expectations of all Oriente forces. A seemingly evenly matched war was actually decided in just seven days!

Even the Holy Norman Empire, the most powerful country in the Orient continent, was greatly shaken. Alfred IX urgently summoned the princes and ministers, and finally reached a resolution to use the six magic ships to conquer the New World and the large plane of Drac. The armored ships retreated to the world of Oulent and defended the homeland.

At the same time, an endless tide of beasts rushed out of the Hulan Prairie. The city-states and principalities in the southeastern part of Oriente quickly suffered horrific hardships. The orcs who obtained the power of the magic crystal became extremely powerful. Under the command of Lati, he was invincible and kept advancing almost every day. In just half a month, he swept over millions of square kilometers of land and conquered city-states one after another.

At the same time, the small forces in the Dark Parliament also mobilized one after another, fearing that they would not be able to seize the territory designated by the Parliament. Various horrific and bloody events were staged on the Orient continent. January of 1788 in the Holy Calendar was almost the entire The darkest hour in human history. In this short period of one month, according to statistics from later historians, more than 120 million of the total pre-war population of 500 million in Oriente died in the war, and a large part of their souls could not return to eternity. Styx, was transformed into undead, or was made into a soul crystal by the devil!

The turbulent era broke into the world of Orrent like an unruly wild horse. Dark forces swept across the earth. Its lusty power made countless people tremble. It seemed that the end of the world was coming!
