Chapter 284
Episode 284 Gathering
Elbion’s vanguard.
The military’s morale was beyond words.
No matter where I went, all escape routes were blocked.
Since the enemy soldiers are all dispersed, the difference in troops is overwhelming.
However, the problem was the ‘fear’ that was engraved into the soldiers’ bones.
War is not simply a matter of power differences.
Depending on the strategy, a hundred men can overwhelmingly defeat a thousand men, and an army of hundreds of thousands of men can fall like a scarecrow.
“older brother! “Isn’t there a better way?”
“What are you going to do if you, the smart one, ask the incompetent me?”
2 The prince was filled with jealousy.
How can you be sarcastic even in this situation?
He continued speaking, barely holding back his frustration.
“Shouldn’t we at least encourage the soldiers and raise their morale!?”
“Will the soldiers trust me, who is incompetent, and shake off their fear?”
“Fuck you! So you’re saying we’re just waiting for the day we die like this!?”
2 The prince could not stand it any longer and threw down his utensils and shouted.
1 The prince looked at his younger brother with pitiful eyes.
“Do you think the soldiers will trust brats like us?”
“… … .”
“For now, I have no choice but to trust the judgment of the corps commanders. “When it comes to war, they are experts, and soldiers will trust their judgment more.”
Prince 2 was holding his head in frustration, while Prince 1 calmly continued eating.
Meanwhile, in another barracks, military leaders gathered and continued their meetings to overcome the current situation.
It was a time when many opinions were exchanged and people were wondering where to attack and break through.
A soldier hurriedly opened the barracks door and shouted.
“Look, this is the main unit’s signal!”
The heads of all commanders in the barracks turned.
As with other countries’ armies, Elbion’s army also has a code system created by magic and luminous artifacts.
If the main unit fired it, it means it arrived at a close range.
The commanders quickly went outside and looked at the sky without anyone else taking notice.
“Wow, it’s definitely a signal from the main unit.”
“Oh oh… … . at las!!”
The commanders happily combined the magic that exploded from the sky to solve the code.
“No way, Haveron Forest… … .”
With their eyes wide open, the 1st and 2nd Corps commanders went straight into the barracks and looked at the map.
According to the main unit’s signal, it was referring to a side road surrounding the outskirts of Haveron Forest.
“Right! “Are you saying you want to secure a safe escape route rather than difficulty?”
“What are you doing!? Tell the entire army about this and issue an order to march!”
There was hope.
Knowing that the main force has arrived will also boost the soldiers’ morale.
If the main force attacks together from the rear, it will be much easier to penetrate.
Elbion’s vanguard quickly moved hundreds of thousands of troops.
To seize a chance that might be the last.
* * *
“Waaaa!!”
A fierce shout.
Countless soldiers rushed in, risking their lives with a glimmer of hope.
Thousands of undead were instantly surrounded by pouring enemies.
“Kill them all!!”
“It must be pierced! “Kill them all and destroy them!!”
Morale is low.
However, I was hopeful that the main force of millions had arrived.
Not 10,000, but at most thousands of troops.
No matter how great the level of the undead was, the difference in troops was overwhelming.
Kagang, cancankang-
Among the soldiers, the knights attacked like crazy.
The skeletons blocking him had their weapons broken and began to be pushed back little by little.
After a moment of fierce fighting between thousands and hundreds of thousands, the undead began to retreat step by step.
Thump, thump, thump-
The sound of drums rang out.
Accordingly, the undead formed a formation and retreated little by little.
Elbion’s advance team, seeing the undead retreating, cheered loudly and their morale rose.
The two corps commanders also pressed even harder, with their eyes shining at the thought of this opportunity.
“The enemies are scared and retreat!! “Push with all your might!”
“purple!! The enemies retreat! “Don’t be afraid and charge!!”
The hundreds of thousands of troops, whose morale soared, rushed forward with madness in their eyes.
And at that time, the undead who received the thought wave to retreat quickly left the battlefield.
“They are running away! “Kill it!!”
“Those damn bones!!”
The soldiers became mad and tried to pursue him until the end.
However, the commanders, including the two corps commanders, managed to control the soldiers.
There was no time to catch the fleeing undead now.
“Waaaaaa!!”
“We won!!”
The soldiers felt the joy of victory.
Elbion’s advance party, with their morale restored to some extent, marched into Havern Forest at a rapid pace.
Meanwhile, Tribon, who was watching everything from afar, crossed his arms and quietly narrowed his eyes.
“Why did you let me go?”
One Dullahan asked.
Tribon looked at him and continued as if it was nothing.
“There’s no need to do this if you’re going to kill them.”
“… … .”
“What the master wants is to give them hope. Hope enough not to give up. A glimmer of hope that somehow it can be prevented. “That way, the enemy will squeeze out all the hidden troops.”
Tribon snorted and pulled on the skeletal horse’s reins.
It’s right to corner them, but it doesn’t really matter where they go.
The point of this operation is to ultimately draw out their main force.
This is to make it impossible to form a strong defense line.
“Try your best. “Because that’s where the limbs are.”
I don’t know where they’re headed, but the corps moves along with their movements.
Unlike those who need rest, there is no way that the legion that marches day and night is slower than them.
No matter where it is, from the moment the main force and the advance guard meet, the legion will chase Elbion’s main force and march into the enemy camp.
“It’s time. Gather all scattered legions according to the enemy’s movement path.”
“I follow the commander-in-chief’s orders!”
Dullahan bowed his head respectfully.
Tribon smiled faintly as he watched Elbion’s advance team shouting loudly.
With a sneer telling you to enjoy a little joy before experiencing true fear.
* * *
Boom, quaaaaaang-
Huge rocks flew in.
Countless magic poured into the undead formation.
The undead who had set up a defensive position on the path bypassing Havern Forest continued to fight frantically as attacks came in from both directions.
“Punch through! “The main unit is on the other side!!”
“Punch through with the readiness to die!!”
The ordnance planes crashed into each other like crazy, accompanied by loud shouts.
Numerous magic pouring from Elbion’s main force was defended by the Legion’s Dark Mages and Sadeer, forming a strong fortress.
The legions fought day and night as defensively as possible, centered around high walls and deep moats.
Wow… … .
A huge amount of command power flew around along with an eerie feeling.
The dark mages residing in the fortress stepped forward and poured out powerful magic.
Acidic black liquid poured into a deep moat made up of multiple layers, melting countless soldiers.
Another black storm swirled, scattering black acid rain.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
“Ugh, wow!!”
Hundreds of troops had their skin melted away, leaving nothing but bones.
Thousands of troops were screaming due to injuries.
The skeletons that blocked the charging soldiers slaughtered them with overwhelming force.
“We have to break through! Charge!!”
The only hope was just around the corner.
Even if you surrender to the undead, there is no way they will save you.
The soldiers rushed to their deaths with only the desire to live.
Even though thousands of people died and 10,000 people fell bleeding, they rushed forward like crazy.
Due to the endless invasion tactics, the walls built began to collapse, and the fortress began to crumble little by little.
“done! The high point is not far away!”
The 1st Corps commander clenched his fists.
It cannot be said that the damage to our allies is small.
More than 15,000 troops have already been lost.
Including the main force on the other side, it means that over 30,000 troops were already consumed in that short period of time.
Compared to the lost troops, the damage from the undead is minimal.
However, as the battle continues, the path opens little by little.
Considering that it was a crisis of annihilation, the damage was not that great.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
As the war progressed, the corps was pushed back.
The walls were torn down and the road opened little by little.
The undead army was busy retreating step by step due to the humane tactics.
At a time when the war was going smoothly, the sound of drums was suddenly heard.
“… … !?”
“… … !?”
The sound of drums that strikes the heart.
Everyone, including the corps commander, froze and turned their heads.
I saw a huge army of giant ants dragging a huge architecture with the sound of drums.
At that time, when everyone in the advance team froze, the sound of drums sounded from somewhere else.
Cooung, cooung, cooung-
I swallowed dry saliva and turned my gaze towards that place.
Undead riding skeletal horses were leading a large army and advancing.
And then, the sound of drums rang out simultaneously from all directions.
“Uh, before I knew it… … .”
A large army numbering over a million people was advancing from all directions.
The undead march forward, freezing the ground and scattering white snowflakes as if winter is approaching.
It was as if the green land embracing life had changed into the land of death.
“Ji, march… … .”
The 1st Corps commander muttered in a trembling voice.
After a moment of silence, the two corps commanders came to their senses and screamed in horror.
“All troops-!! “We’re breaking through the escape route!!”
“March! “We have to get through it somehow!!”
There was no time to hesitate.
It seemed like all the undead who had been scattered and blocking all escape routes had gathered together.
It was a crisis that could have resulted in total annihilation if done incorrectly.
Elbion’s advance team forced their way through the narrow gap and began to join the main force.
Even though the escape route has been opened, it must be created by force.
It was not at a level where hundreds of thousands of troops could escape at a rapid pace.
Meanwhile, Yukiel, sitting on General Ant’s throne and looking down on everything from afar, smiled secretly.
“This must have been unexpected.”
The fluid movement of the undead.
There is a limit to the distance between schools of thought.
No matter how independent movement is possible, information exchange between entities over an absurdly long distance is impossible.
However, the story is different when it comes to Butler’s characteristics.
It was impossible until the 2nd evolution, but in the 3rd evolution, Butler’s characteristic grew significantly from ‘Ruler’s Smile’ to ‘Ruler’s Authority’.
Before all the undead in the legion were subjugated to him, they were under Butler’s control.
All undead are affected by Butler’s ‘authority of ruler’, and not only does their combat power increase depending on the number of subordinate entities, but they can also collect and command all information regardless of distance according to the structure of sub-dominant entities set by Butler. there is.
In other words, no matter how far away you are, as long as you have Butler, you can fluidly control the corps in real time.
“As expected, this life is fun.”
Undead clearly have a class.
No matter what you do, a lower-level entity cannot outperform a higher-level entity.
Therefore, no matter how much time we spent together in our past life, it was natural to throw it away like an object when it became useless.
However, modern life is different, with unique characteristics of each individual such as ‘evolution’ and ‘characteristics’.
In fact, Tribon, who started out as a skeleton, not only became the commander-in-chief, but also possessed overwhelming power that could not be compared to other higher-level entities.
The secret to the growth of secondary evolution lies in the ‘karma’ given to the individual.
And, the secret to growth in the 3rd evolution is ‘karma’ and ‘aspiration’.
So, what is the secret to the growth of the next 4th evolution?
It is said that skeletons have entered the fourth round, but even so, it is difficult to extract data as a single entity.
You need a variety of data to arrive at the right answer.
“Butler.”
“yes! master!”
“What is the damage to the troops currently isolated in the fortress?”
“They forcefully push back and retreat, but the damage is minimal. Most of them are fighting while regenerating their bodies in turns, and only a small portion of them have disappeared.”
That’s how it should be.
Even though it was a skeleton, it went to the 4th round.
Now they can even speak and have their own unique options and effects.
How did they raise these guys, but what if they fall to those guys?
“Then it’s no problem. “All armies, advance.”
All of the undead in the legion advanced at high speed with their eyes shining.
I have no intention of wiping them out all at once with large-scale magic.
We will give the enemy as much hope as possible and only wipe them out as undead.
That was the fastest way for both you and the undead to grow together.
