by fnovelpia“There’s nothing particularly useful about it.”
[They were probably just guys guarding the gate. I guess I was on guard because of you… Tsk. Even so, they are mean things.]
gate.
I took a look around.
There are only about 400 to 500 corpses lying around.
There is one corpse of an 8-star powerful person, but production of the Death Knight has been put on hold.
Because there isn’t much time.
The large camp and supplies were completely burned down by my fire magic, and all war materials that could not be burned were gathered in one place and disposed of in the ground.
Now, if you feel in danger, you can escape by crossing the gate at any time.
So what we need now is reconnaissance.
and… .
“I guess I should lay the body down.”
It is a trap for a safer escape route.
He raised dozens of zombies and spread the corpses one by one near the gate to bury them. If the enemies chase me and come through the gate, I plan on damaging them with an explosion and running away.
Afterwards, the defense system was installed with great care.
Preparation is over.
All that remains is to face the enemies.
but… While I was here, I realized one important thing.
My body is a little heavy.
My strength was weakened by about 20%.
It is said that the magic core distance has been reduced to the point where there are almost no restrictions, but this is a different world. Because of this, the transmission rate of magic core power has decreased.
In terms of stats, the average is around 130.
It feels great, but… .
It’s okay though.
Because it’s a guarantee of life.
“I guess I should take a closer look now.”
Tadat!
We searched near the gate.
The scale of the camp alone was difficult to capture at a glance. There must be an outpost or something else nearby.
In addition, I also memorized the topography.
This is because it is advantageous to plan a route for where to run when you cross the gate.
So I looked around for about two or three hours.
therefore.
◎︎Enter within the range of private gate GA8DA-04731.
◎︎ You can move to a specific location.
I found another gate installed not too far away.
There were only a few soldiers standing guard.
It felt like everyone was pulling out all their power to catch me.
Okay!
“Qu!?… .”
Simple handling.
“… This is how the invasion went.”
I looked at the invasion Gegit for a moment.
I understood it right away.
The general public does not have permission to use official gates, so they can only go through these private gates. Instead… If you enter the tower and the gate disappears, you could be trapped in that world forever.
Additionally, if the military passes through the official gate, the invasion may be discovered by tower residents or travelers, but this can be prevented.
No matter how dirty and free-wheeling the tower is, global invasions are met with loud criticism. There are quite just worlds that try to protect weak worlds, so if you get caught wrong, you can be stopped.
Therefore, there were two gates.
The invasion was planned from the beginning.
“Secretly installing a gate in a remote place like this and moving the military… .”
The treatment of hostages is obvious even without looking at it.
Because there is no need to worry about what others think.
There is the advantage of being able to go to the tower at any time, so it won’t be a big loss.
But there’s nothing wrong with me.
Because there is no need to buy separate tickets.
To travel to another world, an individual must pay at least hundreds of thousands of public fees, but this gate completely ignores that.
Just move on and you’re done.
Anyone can travel around the world for free until the gate expires.
If I invade here too, that will be enough.
However, you must be careful because there may be other Uk tribes beyond here. We don’t have time to scout this far yet, so it would be best to prepare properly and come back after the war.
I roughly decided on a plan.
After the war, they flee to the tower, reorganize, and return here to launch a counter-invasion.
This might be best for now.
I’ve looked into it enough.
Let’s return now.
“I’ll just go back.”
“Yes.”
◎︎ Entrance Edelin Gate 27.
As soon as the gate cooldown ended, I led the Death Knight back to Edelin.
after.
reorganize the troops.
Add traps.
Building a wall.
raise an army
I breathed mana all night to stay intact.
Months pass.
The sun rises.
The time for the decisive battle approaches.
therefore.
Tiring~
◎︎ Detection of evil reacts strongly.
The time has finally come.
Far away.
Although they looked as small as ants, the Uk army appeared.
Hwansu’s eyes are good.
They are resting in the distance.
I arrived at night and felt like I had already rested once. After resting, we will probably arrive here within half a day and the war will begin.
The time for real all-out war has come.
*
“Almost there.”
Kaidor was leading the army and advancing.
He ordered the army to rest for a while and looked out into the distance alone.
Strangely enough, his eyes briefly glowed with green light, and the area near the gate, about 70km away, was reflected in his pupils.
Byakugan skill.
In an open area like this, you can easily see what the enemy is doing.
Therefore, he watched the gate from time to time.
As expected, there are undead roaming around.
That number… .
[You crazy guy. You’re so good at wielding a sword that you even control the undead? Black magic swordsman… It is truly an incomprehensible being.]
Judging by sight, the undead army was close to 10,000 people. I felt like they were planning to take over the gate and cause damage, so I frowned. If this happens, the damage will be too great.
In fact, I knew this would happen and requested support from my home country.
But the answer I got back was to wait a week.
They say it’s dangerous to wait, so they tell you to return alive somehow.
It’s frustrating, but it’s not something I don’t understand.
Let me explain for a moment.
Homeland of the Uk people.
Aaron Valley.
There are nine powerful nations, and Kaidor’s country is one of the strongest with two demi-gods.
The number of people that can be mobilized exceeds 500,000.
However, that number includes reserve forces.
It can be deployed at any time, but there is a limit to summoning enough attack troops to participate in an invasion.
If more such troops are brought in here, the country will stumble.
That’s not all.
Most of the world has multiple countries, and unless the world itself is in danger, each country is busy competing with each other.
The Uk people are no exception.
On the contrary, if you let them know, they will try to interfere with you.
Even to keep them in check, more troops cannot be mobilized, and the prestige of the empire could be dealt a major blow.
Called.
The political class would have clashed greatly.
Since he and Galikstan were not there, the opposing group must have risen up because they thought this was the time. Otherwise, there would be no way they would have given the absurd order to wait for a week.
so.
‘Do I have to resolve it unconditionally on my own terms? .’
We must somehow reduce the damage as much as possible and retake the gate.
Fortunately, the enemies are low-level undead.
The enemy is simply outnumbered.
All you have to do is completely finish off Dirus and cross the gate before the Allied Forces arrive.
There is nothing to be afraid of.
There are as many as 40 noble warriors in the main unit, all gathered together. If they combine, Dirus will not be able to hold out for long and will die.
but… There was one thing I was worried about.
‘Why did we lose contact now?’
The message exchanged between the soldiers beyond the gate was cut off. As difficult as it is to communicate with the tower, I only realized it this morning.
Contact has been lost.
I have an uneasy feeling that maybe that place is also occupied.
‘That can’t be possible… .’
No matter how crazy you are, there is no way you would pass over something that might be on the other side. Of course, this is because your life may be in danger.
What on earth did they do?
Did you have the ability to look on the other side of the gate? Or did the information leak?
And that too now?
I can not know.
Thanks to you, I got into trouble.
There was a setback in the operation.
The idea was to approach by sending in a few noble warriors to divide the army and surround the gate so that there would be no room for escape.
At this time, if he escapes through the gate, those guarding the other side will have to join in and kill him while he blocks Dirus or delays him… .
It all went wrong.
Even if you defeat the undead army, it is still difficult to catch them.
But I can’t fix it now.
The Allied forces are approaching quickly.
A decision must be made before that.
One way or another, there is only one choice.
“… I’ve had enough rest, so let’s move again.”
The army advanced.
Although there are variables, this side has an overwhelming advantage.
There will be quite a bit of damage… .
In the end, all you have to do is defeat it with force.
If it comes out dirty, the same goes for this one.
“Never… It won’t work out the way you want.”
The main Uk army advanced to the gate.
*
planned war.
The Uk is coming.
At the front, you can see powerful guys who appear to be Kaidor and the commander. It seems like they are surrounding this place to prevent them from escaping.
30,000 Uk army vs 10,000 undead army.
The two armies faced off in a wide open field.
[Today will be different from then.]
In the distance, Kaidor glares with a loud noise.
It is not very threatening as it has no arms, but the nearby warriors are sufficiently threatening.
Probably all noble warriors.
These are people with skills of 7-8 stars or higher.
That’s all.
One omnipotent one.
One divine star.
Aside from Kaidor, there were two other worthy guys together. That omnipotent warrior seemed to have joined the main force after leading troops in another battlefield.
Much stronger power than expected.
Of course, the result is obvious.
This is my defeat.
Unless I can buy time until the Allied Forces arrive, my defeat is certain. No, I had no intention of winning.
What matters is how much damage you can inflict on your enemies.
They might think this is the last war and rush into it, but in reality, that’s not the case. I plan to make you suffer forever from now on.
My weakness is Ronica.
Ronika isn’t even here.
It is a body that cannot die even if it wants to.
They chose the wrong land to invade. Even if I die, I will keep looking for you.
Because I’m undead.
… The gossip ends here.
I also responded to Kaidor.
[The guy who got hit has a lot of power. This time, I’ll cut off both legs.]
[…] You’re bluffing. You die here today.]
[well.]
Much conversation is unnecessary.
No matter what is said, there is no room for negotiation.
[every. Show the power of the Uk warriors.]
“1st Army, 2nd Army advance!!”
The enemy moves his aligned troops.
Unfortunately, hard attacks won’t work. Because Kaidor is standing still.
Now it’s pure all-out war.
I also gave an order.
“Divided into 3 units. Numbers 1 and 2 should stay out in front as much as possible, but direct the undead to cause damage and get out if it feels dangerous.”
“Yes. Lord.”
“I understand.”
The two Death Knights spread out, each carrying 3,000 undead.
Roughly a triangular formation.
“And No. 3 Rich. Unleash the death aura and command the remaining armies. If enemies come looking for you, don’t hit them, but run away. This fight will be advantageous only if you survive until the end.”
“I will follow my master’s orders.”
Tiring!!
◎︎ You have entered the range of Lich No. 3’s death aura.
◎︎ Stats increase slightly.
The lich spread a terrifying death aura. It’s weaker than mine, but it allows me to strengthen the undead army without my location being discovered.
Chuck, Chuck.
The enemies have gotten reasonably close.
I ordered Richie again.
“Create fog and intercept enemies.”
“Yes.”
The lich commanded the zombie mages under his command and held a spear.
“Spread the spell before the enemy comes!”
Wow~
Deploy fog magic. The entire area near the gate began to be covered with fog.
With this, they will not be able to properly see the corpse field, and the undead who do not have limited visibility will be able to fight at an advantage.
“Oops. You can’t see!”
Because of this, the Uk people expressed their annoyance.
That’s not all.
“Fire out attacks that each person can use.”
The undead mages used magic again.
It fires something that will blind you if it hits you.
Create a giant earth hand and throw rocks.
You can also see a guy summoning a golem and riding on it.
Although its power is lower than when it was alive, it cannot be ignored. The magic attack that penetrated the fog attacked the Uk people.
puck!!
“Huh? My arms are numb… .”
The unlucky Uk had one arm paralyzed.
grasp!!
“Keck… Suddenly my breathing… … .”
Some people complain of abdominal pain.
Nevertheless, the enemy is the Uk.
“This is all nonsense!!”
Kwaang!!
You can also see someone throwing away a flying rock and someone smashing a fist rising from the ground.
It even used its excellent reflexes to block attacks that were difficult to avoid due to the fog, or just withstood them with its strong body.
Isn’t there any major damage?
And the biggest problem starts now.
[Put the hostage first. Then you won’t be able to use any more magic.]
“!… .”
“Sa, please save me!! please!… .”
“Shut up and follow me!!”
Kaidor, that crazy guy, started forcing the ten thousand captured imperial citizens into the fog.
I had no choice but to order Richie.
“… Stop attacking for a moment. If they come close, the hostage will avoid them and engage in all-out war.”
“Yes.”
It’s not for me to say, but… .
That’s a pretty dirty strategy too.
Originally, I would have ignored it, but now that I have changed, I don’t want the hostage to die in vain.
Magic attacks stop.
There is no choice but to engage in close combat.
“They stopped attacking. Attack!!”
“They are surrounded. Undead and such. I’ll beat them all up and destroy them!!”
yet.
The Uk people who came near the fog ran towards me, shouting and holding axes.
However, it is not a large number.
It seems like he’s aware of a trap.
Perhaps because of this, they are bringing hostages with them into the fog.
However, the trap was set up to go off when I wanted, and they don’t have a good wizard who can break the trap.
I let them through.
It’s a small sacrifice for a bigger goal.
No, it’s even a sacrifice. It doesn’t matter because they’re all undead anyway.
“Who do you dare confront? All the dead. Kill and bite those ugly living things and use them as food.”
The polite Death Knight No. 1 greets the enemy.
Chang~
Kyaang!!
A clash between the Uk tribe and the undead army.
A full-scale war began.
Now then, when are you coming?
I used the Evil Detection skill to detect the place where the murderous intent was felt the most.
In this chaotic war.
The enemies will definitely try to catch me separately.
This is because if you catch me, the undead will be neutralized and damage will be reduced. In other words, noble machine bastards will form a separate unit and come in large numbers.
To catch one of me.
Normally it would be right to run away, but… .
Since my life is guaranteed, I plan to move more boldly.
For that purpose, the fog was spread.
“Conduct well.”
“Please leave it to me.”
Leaving full command of the army to Rich, I moved separately into the fog.
Tiring~
◎︎ Malice detection reacts.
I felt that evil intent targeting only me, so I immediately moved to the other side.
They may be trying desperately to find me… .
Take a look somewhere.
If you can find it.
