Chapter 264

Episode 264: The Beginning of Conclusion

The situation took an urgent turn.

Due to the large army of the three princes marching towards Dongbuk-myeon, some surrendered, while others resisted and died fiercely or retreated to plan for later.

Additionally, the fact that 70 percent of the invading Elbion troops moved south was enough to stimulate the nobles of Dongbuk-myeon.

If you have a 30% army, there is nothing to be afraid of if you gather the strength of the northeastern region.

At the time when Letan and his party were persuading and conciliating the great nobles of the northeastern region, the main body of the nobles who had left the County of Sinapilas continued to march towards their destination.

“You probably left enough traces, right?”

“yes. “It won’t be difficult for him to predict the main unit’s movement path since it was left unnoticed.”

Hearing the subordinate’s words, the Marquis of Arha raised the corner of his mouth.

All information was blocked in advance.

Inspections were made more thorough and pressure was put on all lords to prevent any information from leaking out.

Since the entry and exit of merchants, mercenaries, and all personnel with ambiguous identities was controlled, there was no way for information to escape through any other means.

Moreover, Count Agnes’s power is entirely focused on the individual.

It is impossible to easily monitor the situation of the war without any power.

‘Something feels a little uncomfortable.’

Are there really no holes?

The opponent is believed to be a great mage.

You don’t know what variables you can create with magic.

However, if I had known that the 6th Corps was right in front of me, I would not have passed by.

‘Considering the worst case scenario… … .’

That guy knows the dynamics here.

However, even if he knows, he is still marching towards the County of Sinapilas.

In that case, he probably wants all-out war.

However, war always involves variables.

Even if he changes his mind in Sinapilas and doesn’t do what he wants, it doesn’t matter.

The 4th Corps has already caught up to its rear, and the 6th Corps is advancing, blocking its retreat.

‘There’s a reason we gathered at Sinapilas in the first place.’

Sinapilas is a natural fortress.

The nearby terrain has wide variations in altitude, so it can have a topographical advantage, and the access roads for moving large armies are limited due to the huge rocky mountains.

That means that even if it doesn’t chase the main force, it’s still the same as cornering it if it blocks the retreat.

“As long as their existence is not revealed.”

Mages of the Eye of Truth.

All you have to do is hide their identity until the end.

One would think that he would have also attracted several magic towers.

It would be difficult to engage in a fight with a presumed great mage without a mage to support him.

However, even if you die, you will not know that the entire eye of truth has moved.

In the worst case scenario, even if all information is leaked, if just one thing can be hidden, the war is no different from being won.

“What are the trends of the lords of Dongbuk-myeon?”

“They seem to be very shaken because the kingdom’s military is not providing support.”

“Hmph, what a cunning person you are… … .”

The reason why large-scale troops were sent to other fronts but not to the northeast.

Most likely, this was done with the large-scale military force of the noble faction in mind.

If the kingdom falls, the existence of the noble faction itself is meaningless anyway.

So, the idea is to stop the enemy army before the kingdom falls.

‘I knew that would happen.’

I expected it to some extent.

Isn’t that why you signed an agreement with Elbion?

Instead of giving up the minimum amount of territory, ask them to return when the civil war is over.

The Marquis of Arha, clenching his fists, looked into the distance and whispered with earnest heart.

“Welcome. “Don’t we have time for each other?”

* * *

The undead army continues its advance.

Before long you will reach Shalton Plateau.

Yukiel followed behind the enemy just as the enemy wanted.

Now, as soon as you cross the Shalton Plateau and enter the Kalturu Rocks, an all-out war will begin.

‘Couldn’t there be something else?’

There are many variables in war.

I don’t think we’ll lose, but losing the undead we worked so hard to evolve is painful.

Right now, Yukiel was just following them without any information.

Has the enemy’s inspection and control become more thorough, or are there difficulties in conveying information due to proximity to enemy lines?

Other than the letter I received the other day, no further information was given.

Perhaps he has already been discovered and is being pursued by the noble faction.

Because of this, there was no way to know what the 6th and 4th corps in the rear were doing, where the 7th corps was, and what plans the main force of the noble faction was plotting.

However, I just hope that the war will flow according to the larger trend.

“No matter what I plan, I won’t have time.”

An army of millions.

You can’t march without stopping.

You must eat, sleep, and rest.

In contrast, the undead army advances day and night, so there is a huge difference in their speed.

Even if they enter the rocky area, there will be no time to prepare anything.

Also, even if something unexpected happens, it won’t work out exactly as the enemy wants.

The 4th and 6th corps in the rear also had to rest.

“Helford, Tribon.”

Yukiel used the Thought Sect to convey his will to the two leaders of the army on the left and right wings.

『Yes, Master.』

『Yes, master.』

As soon as Yukiel’s thought wave reached Helford and Tribon, they immediately looked at Yukiel and sent the thought wave.

“When the battle begins, spread out all troops to the left and right wings. “I hope you can show your abilities as a commander.”

『Just leave it to me!』

『I’ll do my best!』

Helford and Tribon nodded and marched forward, leading the left and right armies with serious expressions.

The two are commanders of the left and right armies, and are also captains of the assault brigades.

These guys will break up the enemy’s battle line and break through the enemy’s center to draw aggro.

It was a dangerous mission, but I had faith in their abilities and the power of Black Ghouls and Dullahans.

And, the central army was entrusted to Ramdel and Telta, who were the leaders of the Dark Knight.

The two are Dark Knights created from Count Biris and Count Gaston, who were at the highest level in the last war, and as they were created with vision after spending enough time, they exude great power and presence.

“And Gegelto you…” … .”

A guy who will lead a group of huge bone golems and break through the front of the enemy line like a tank.

If you show off the power of a destroyer that we saw before and penetrate the enemy’s center from the center, you will be quite embarrassed.

Yukiel, who reorganized the unit and completed the assignment of missions with a gentle smile, studied and researched his newly acquired knowledge of white magic as he had done so far.

In what situations and how to use it and how to apply it.

Of course, there was already enough big data about him.

This is because he faced numerous wizards a thousand years ago and remembers all their uses and applications.

However, the reason he continues to struggle and find the source of magic is to form arcane magic in his own style.

‘There’s a reason magic is closed.’

The more widely known it is, the easier it is to respond.

Even if there were two apocalypses, as a thousand years have passed, many supplements and countermeasures for the magic of that time would have already been researched.

So, in the Eye of Truth, there will be magic such as vision and other things.

In fact, according to the magic extracted from the shared memories of Siltaras and Delas, it was clearly the same magic, but its form and method of expression were subtly different.

“Not all magic has been perfected… … .”

There was also a significant amount of magic that had regressed from a thousand years ago.

The impact of two apocalypses will most likely be significant.

Perhaps the fact that there is no one who has reached class 9 on the current continent also contributed to this problem.

It is only natural that knowledge that should be passed down and developed from generation to generation has been lost twice and revived again.

Amidst the rapid advance, how many days had passed before Yukiel began to think deeply about magic?

We have already crossed the Shalton Gobi and entered the Kalturu rock area.

“It’s just as I imagined.”

Ground at a relatively low altitude.

However, enemies are also here.

They may think that they are rats trapped in a poison, but they are actually rats in a poison.

Let alone the 4th and 6th corps, the main force of the noble faction already established here has no escape route.

It is said to be the perfect place for a deliberate massacre.

“Now then, shall we take a look at what we have prepared and how much we have prepared?”

Yukiel let out a chuckle and increased the speed of his advance with the large undead army.

The dried rock area froze, turned pure white, and stuck together.

It was the second day since the army moved to chase after the main force of the noble faction.

A large army of millions of people was seen taking up position on a relatively high hill.

“It’s a spectacular view.”

Millions of soldiers.

This is the number that raised an army from one Belkart.

A thousand years ago, no ordinary kingdom could have built up such an army no matter how hard they tried.

‘This may all be his plan… … .’

The end of 300 years ago.

The person who guided him was another self.

Perhaps at that time, he felt it was insufficient and sought such means.

If things go according to his plan, the current population explosion will gain a power that cannot be compared to what it was 300 years ago.

I don’t know how to build divinity, but perhaps one can truly attain the state of becoming a god at the cost of countless karma and soul.

However, due to his plan, he can quickly increase his strength.

The gate and the large population mean that they too can be raped.

“A thousand years… … .”

A long, long time.

Will you be able to catch up with him?

Honestly, I can’t guarantee about that part.

Especially if the other person is someone else.

Yukiel closed his eyes, gathered his thoughts, and marched the undead army.

Chuck, Chuck-

The ground is frozen and the undead army advances, scattering white frosty snowflakes.

The soldiers of the noble faction swallowed their saliva as they looked at that scene.

“S-where is the skeleton… … ?”

“That’s not a skeleton, is it?”

It was said that all troops were made up of skeletons.

But, even if you wash your eyes, the undead in front of you is not a skeleton, is it?

Each of the hundreds of thousands of individuals is of enormous height and size, and exudes a tremendous sense of intimidation.

Each commander who saw that the soldiers were agitated raised their voices and comforted the soldiers.

“Do not be afraid! “I just put on some armor!”

“It’s just a trick with magic! “The armor will be empty inside, so don’t be afraid!”

Looking at the shouting commanders, the Marquis of Arha clenched his fists.

‘Has it finally arrived?’

Everything went according to plan.

But, why do I feel uneasy for some reason?

Although they were comforting the soldiers with their words, I could tell that they were not ordinary undead.

No matter how overwhelming they were in numbers, it became dark before my eyes how much sacrifice would be made.

“This is a war that will end if you just kill that guy.”

Anyway, undead.

No matter how many there are, you only have to kill the main subject, the warlock.

If the master-slave relationship and the medium through which the contract was established disappeared, they would naturally disappear.

All you have to do is hold out until the mages of the Eye of Truth kill him.

“Welcome, baby! “This will be your grave!”

Marquis Arha’s shout.

After hearing this, Yukiel slowly raised the corner of his mouth and continued speaking.

“I had no idea it was going to be an all-out war. “Do you underestimate me, or do you have some faith in me?”

“Hmph, no matter how strong you are, do you think you can defeat an army of millions!?”

An army of millions.

There are not only ordinary soldiers there.

There are a huge number of knights, and magic troops are waiting to support him.

Even if there were no mages of the Eye of Truth, it would be a huge sacrifice, but I was confident that I would win.

Yukiel, looking at the confident Marquis of Arha, burst into laughter and raised his hand.

“What are you talking about? “You will find out when you stick with it.”

With those words, he lowered his hand.

Gegelto and other bone golems charged like crazy, shaking the earth.

A huge number of golems also advanced from the noble faction and attacked Gegelto and the bone golem.

But at that time, Gegelto, who was standing in front, with his eyes shining, grabbed the iron golem Hangi by the head, lifted it up, and slammed it down.

Kwaaaaaaang-

With a huge explosion, the iron golem’s entire body was torn apart, and iron fragments flew in all directions.

After showing a shocking scene, Gegelto unleashed enormous command power as he recklessly tore the charging golems to pieces.

Saaaaaa-

A blizzard raged, with cryogenic cold blowing around.

And in the midst of it all, Gegelto, with shining eyes, roared.

『Kuuuuuuu!』

A presence that makes your skin tremble.

Seeing that scene, the millions of soldiers of the noble faction trembled.

Even they were confused as to whether the trembling was due to the cryogenic cold or extreme fear.
