Bloodbath

Bloodbath is the final quest in First Undead Book.

## Background

All is ready for the final confrontation. Aridon the Watcher reanimated Vanessa, and prepared his army against Demon Legion's Blooddrinker Legion under Ornasion.

The battlefield is near the Imperial frontlines, which was under siege by Orc Clans when the Undead arrived behind them.

## Opening

Aridon commands both Rahandir Drakeskull and Saphira Whisperwind to attack the Demons, while they with Vanessa and Fleshtearer (should he be alive) to defend the base from Demons.

## Quest

### Main Quest:

* Kill Ornasion the Destroyer.

Description: While the Orcs and the Imperials fight each other, the Undead have to deal with the Blooddrinker Legion. This Demon Legion is currently the strongest of all other Legions and its leader Ornasion the Destroyer, is the one responsible for most recent attacks. He must be dealt with. Without him, the Undead can easily tear the remnants of his Legion apart.

### Side Quest:

* Destroy the Ravaging Fire Clan fortress.

Description: One of the Orc Clans has set up camp next of the Undead. While the green skins are busy fighting the Imperials, it's still possible that they will discover the presence of the Undead. In order to prevent that, the Undead have to destroy their fortress.

* Destroy the Darkmind Clan stronghold.

Description: The Darkmind Clan has constructed a fortified outpost to breed massive amounts of wyverns. With these monstrosities, the Empire would have a hard time surviving. The Undead cannot allow the mortals to be stupid enough to weaken each other, while a Demon Legion is close.

## The Battle

Both the Undead Nexus and Blooddrinker Legion fielded the best of their forces as defenders of their respective bases. So Rahandir Drakeskull, and Saphira Whisperwind reinforced the defenders with their own defensive maneuver by building Ziggurats, making it Spirit and Nerubian Towers then reinforcing them with their own troops. Attack waves from both Blooddrinker and Rohir Nexus come in major waves, repelling each other.

While on it, the duo built a separate force, attacking the Ravaging Fire Clan base nearby. Despite heavy defenses, they crushed the Ravaging Fire, erasing the Undead presence, while the Orc Clans under Darkmind Clan and Imperial Army are busy killing each other.

Then, afterwards, the duo replenished their losses and faced against Progaderas the Smoking and his Fire Golems, killing Progaderas and looted the remains. Then, afterwards, they defeated the enemies on the burning forest, then the duo fought against the Demonlord, never taking their soldiers.

They then besieged the Darkmind Clan aviary base. Despite having elite Wyvern Riders, Undead fliers made short of them. Then, the duo destroyed the stronghold. Optionally, the duo cleans up the Imperial Border Guard.

Then afterwards, the duo repelled a major Demon attack. Then, with back-and-forth battles, they slowly thins the Demon ranks, eventually destroying the several Demon Gates and Shrines in the area. Afterwards, the final Demon line is Ornasion and guarded by Demonlords and Dreadlords. Despite that, the Undead managed to destroy most of the Demons, and Ornasion was killed.

## Aftermath

After sealing Ornasion, the Soulstealer Legion under Kersidar appeared, forcing the Undead to retreat, having fulfilled their objective.

Largoth mocked the player's decisions in the endscene.

## Note

You can also kill Aridon, but there is a difference. Even you completed the mission, the Demons just died after Aridon activated the spell he has.

And you can also interfere in the fight between Orcs and Humans, but the Orc base is invulnerable, and not respawn units after you defeat the Imperials.

## True Story

The mission was revamped. Changes are:

* Morganur is present in this mission, alongside Ornasion.
* Kazardius and Edoarus are now playable. Fleshtearer is not controllable regardless of choices. Sir Ross (if killed in Possessed) doesn't make an appearance.
* The sidequest for destroying Ravaging Fire Clan is removed. The aerial supremacy mission was retconned, from Darkmind, to Skullblade Clan.
* The battle between Humans and Orcs cannot be seen without cheats/speedrunning unlike in the original story. Also, no dialogues from the Bear Regiment regarding their demise.
* Progaderas the Smoking's guards now include Ancient Fire Golems. Also, it still appears even if you already kill it in the previous chapters, albeit being more pissed in its dialogue, depending on whether the Humans and Orcs killed it. Once again, he was relocated, this time in the middle.
* Peons can be possessed to train Frostbringers, an undead version of Wind Riders.
* You can choose one of the Nexus to assist you: Ejara Nexus, Rohir Nexus, Zirr Nexus, Splecir Nexus, and Ardoz Nexus.
* The epilogue indicates more direct interaction between Kersidar and the Undead, and the retreat of the Orcs was detailed, as opposed of a disastrous one. Rangul and Zairmak was forced to retreat alongside Gorthog. Lokar the Crusher was proclaimed new chieftain of Ironthunder Clan, leaving the old one to die. Vanessa and Sasrogarn met up, both retreating with Hortnog, albeit one stubborn Searaider was eventually coerced by Hortnog to join them. The Destroyer led the rearguard with his handpicked Bloodhand warriors to delay any Undead and Demon attackers, his fate being unknown.
