Not knowing what was the ray the Brodi chief instrcuted its mean to go scout in the direction of it, just to be reported that an army of undead humans was coming from there, the chief rapidly ordered to raise banners and preparate to engage. Knowing that having more men could improve the outcome of the battle the goblin chief send messager to its eastern goblin tribes calling for aid as well to the western human tribe of Imperata. As each day passed the probability of a fight increseased.

The chief sent 28 banners to the valley, after 3 days they reutrned exhausted, "My chief, most of the zombies move slowly even when walking however between them there are some that only sprint and other that are so fat that when killed explode killing all that is near of them, 60 banners conform their amy"

The 15th of June, the Chief Imperata ordered to raise banners as messangers from bodi described what was happening. As soon as they agrouped the marched towards brodi. In order to secure victory the chief of Brodi summoned 70 remmnants banners (350 men) to its cause to fight the undead.

#### Battle of Biggus Housus

The hordes finally arirved to the Brodi shelter getting out of the forest the chief could see in front of him a arrange of undead zombies of diferent types and skeletons, however he had summoned a mighty army, 250 naxxesians, 100 kaltrians and 250 goblinoids of his own. The archers were on top of the hill were his shelter was all around the goblins that had run to the shelyter for security, between the traps the kaltrian were first line followed by goblinoids behind them.

"My fellow green boys" screamed the goblin chief, "i will keep my speech short. The enemy horde is upon us. but they smell. They are made of putrid flesh and shit and a little bit of piss too probably. They are the small crying peepos to our smug pepe. In other words, we are the chad goblin wojaks and they are the crying seething undead wojaks!" After the speech he made a warcry during 2 minute long that seemed like a rat screaming and then danced energetically.

The undead horde threw itself towards the kaltrian shield wall, as soon as they entered in range, the naxessian guards started to shoot their first arrows, the first volley annihilated all the first wave, the second killed the zombies nearly at the same spot the 1st wave starting to make a wall of undead bodies, and so did with the next, and the next to that killing even the armored skeletons. The battle ended in less than a hour and without any casualty. Not even a melee fight.

The 30 of June, as the Imperata armies arrived to the other side of the river he got news that the zombie invasion was repelled when suddenly a giant ray 4 times bigger than the last appeared in the horizon where the same as before happened.

### 2nd Stage: The dark fortress

The 10 of July the Brodi chief was told of a large fortress in the south full of undead troops. The 11th of July both Brodi and Imperata armies met in the eastern bank of the river, being between the two 207 banners (1035 men). Both armies marched south, the 1st of August as they entered the small valley where the fortress was the souls of the remmnants retured to the gods power, being left alone with their armies.

The valley was dead, the soild was grey and the trees balck dark, all live had been removed from them, with the reinforcements lost, their force reamined in 162 banners (810 men). The day 20 the coalition army arrived to the river that separated them from the castle plans and after 4 days, the 24th of August the army had ferried its troops over the river.

#### Siege of the fortress

The 22th of September the Naxessian archers rushed in fornt of the walls shooting many arrows as the Kaltrians moved to charge and break the gate. As soon as the naxessian entered the range of the skeleton archers this unleashed salvo after salvo killing many naxessians. The kaltrians rapidly moved to the stone gate to destory it when a boiling liquid was throw to them from the gates defense area killing several banners in minutes. Then a porticulis fell over the dead remmnants corpses.

The naxessian arrows many time hit the cold stone or flew to low while few times hitting target.

**A second service is launched once the proper meals are arranged, the proper ingredients are disposed in order to cook the required meals, the second meal ends meeting up with a food tastes who dislikes the food, the meal two ends losing 30 ingredients but removing some of the food taste hunger for food. The fisrt meal advances with more sucess, the right condiments suceed in opening the mouth of the food taster  while only using some plates.**(Then they launched a plan of escalating the mountain which failed when they met resistance, losing some goblin in exchage of some skeletons in the process, however the Kaltrians got more advance breaking the porticulis and the gate)

The Kaltrians charged inside the first line of walls receiving volley after volley of archers, however soon they met with some explosive zombies and runner zombies stoping the charge for a moment. The clash continue as time passed with both armies losing more men. Slowly but stead the coalition continued going up the road, soon the zombie runners and explosive do not appear and istead the fight now starts with the normal zombies at the expense of trolls and goliaths.

The coalition forces finally pushed to the second gate which is closed by rotten wooden door sacrificing some zombies to be able to close it. After a few rest and restructuration the naxesiasn were thrown to the fight with maxes, rapidly breaking the gate, starting a fight with the remaining zombies and explosive zombies while arrows fell on them killing many.

Rapidly the naxessians ended with the zombies, but a bunch of skeleton spearmen charge at them while from the upper wals zombies throwing acid appear attackign the naxessian. However still resilient the naxessian push them back and get to the 3rd gate, braking it rapidly but meating a shield wall.

The naxessians broke the shield wall but rapid volleys and acid zombies ended with what remained of them, however the macemen the hobgoblins and goblins pushed fast killing what remainied of the enemy forces in the fortress.
