We climbed the tower and saw that the enemy was trying to surround us. They had placed three camps: in the north, east, and west. We had two outposts in the north and one in the south, each commanded by a captain, and a main fort in the center. I sent my soldiers to the west and left a couple of units at the eastern walls. The northern outposts were holding back the necromancer in the north, and the southern one was trying to hold back the eastern one. I dealt with the enemies faster than the others, although I received some help from comrades from neighboring outposts. Unfortunately, things were worse in the north. Even together, two squads were losing their positions, so I had to send part of the troops there. In the east, the enemy had become more active and began an active offensive; before that, they had been a bit slow, and the resistance was quite good. I had to transfer the wounded soldiers from the west to the eastern borders to help the southern captain hold back the attack. While maneuvers were being carried out in the south, fierce battles were taking place in the north. After the lich was killed, it became easier, but phantoms still posed a threat, and the allied squads were defeated. Dacian went to the captain of the northwestern outpost, but unfortunately, he didn't make it in time to help him. The captain was killed. The same fate could have awaited the northeastern captain, but the paladin managed to come to his aid, and the danger passed. While the soldiers were finishing off the enemies in the north, the wounded were in the fortress. Yes, I was afraid to let them out of the gates because the eastern enemy army was quite impressive and was moving in a dense formation, which increased its power. The southern captain was trying to hold back the undead in every way, but when there were almost no soldiers left, he himself went into battle and died. Fortunately, the enemies dispersed a little, and the lich went north; several undead fought with the remnants of the southern outpost, and the rest went to the fortress. I had to retreat a little because the enemies were still stronger. With great difficulty, I managed to repel them and not lose anyone. Then, the northern troops blocked the lich's path and killed him. After that, an enemy messenger immediately appeared and announced that their leader was summoning Gweddry to a duel (6x6). I can accept it, or I can refuse. If I accept, there is no guarantee that I will not be deceived, but if I refuse, the war, in which we have almost no chance, will continue...
P.S. I did watch both options, and the choice is obvious) In the duel, we fight 6 on 6, not counting the main character; the best units will be there. If I refuse, I will have to fight 7 enemies! That's 7 forts, and each hires who knows how many undead, and I'm also in the center. Yes, I'll have to duel.

This is already the end, when I had to retreat and defend myself right in the castle) There's the lich running around at the top
