Chapter 436: Even After Death

Another week passed after Albestros gave a tremendously overwhelming gift in the form of weapons, clothes and armors that were topped with the Pendragon Formation, the archaic artificing formation that gave them the biggest buff as a team in large-scale battles.

At the time of the morning in the Kaldris region, which was now under the command of Blackwall as the highest authority; Kahn and his warship arrived at the main burial site for the military soldiers.

This was the official graveyard for all the fallen soldiers who fought in the battle against the legendary Caladrius monster.

And more than a hundred thousand bodies were buried here, each with a proper tomb of their own.

This gravesite spread across 30 kilometers and was divided into four sections that could be accessed from different entrances. Facilities such as magic vehicles and carriages were provided free of cost to the family members of the martyrs who would often come to visit their members of the family who sacrificed themselves to protect their motherland.

This time, Kahn had come with over three hundred thousand covenant soldiers to act as his gatekeepers. And under Blackwall's command, the Burial Site was closed off for a few days in the name of maintenance and improvements.

Thousands of normal guards were replaced by the covenant soldiers who were equipped with high-quality armors and weapons and a few hundred flying ships also roamed in the sky in order to keep a lookout so no one would know what was happening inside.

Finally, the sealed vast gravesite that had over a hundred thousand dead soldiers buried in the thirty-kilometer wide region… Kahn commanded the covenant soldiers who were spread across the gravesite in all four sections.

"Start digging. And gather the bodies in the transportation vehicles." spoke Kahn as he relayed his commands through a transmission artifact.

Soon, the massive region was filled with sounds of ground getting dug in using various equipment and then hundreds of vehicles carrying the bodies towards Kahn's location.

As for the place where he resided, no one other than Ronin and his squad of thousands of assassin subordinates dressed as normal living people were allowed.

As hours passed by, they kept bringing thousands of bodies in each batch and placed them within one kilometer radius around Kahn who was still in a weakened state.

"Awaken." spoke Kahn and used the King of the Dead skill to begin synthesis divine ability and created new subordinates.

And finally, when the two suns set in the evening, Kahn had successfully created more than 50 thousand new subordinates.

But unlike most of the time, these weren't just some monsters but actual soldiers from different fighter classes and professions, belonging to different races and species.

As for why was Kahn acting like a hypocrite who gave a moving speech for the deceased soldiers and now desecrating the dead soldiers who died to protect the normal citizens of the fiefdom… only he knew the reason.

"Even in death, they will serve me and their motherland." spoke Kahn after he was finally done.

After that, under Ronin's guidance, all the members of the assassins squad spread across this vast gravesite and used the epic rank Restoration Artifacts.

These were the same artifacts that Ceril once used during his grave robbing days as Loki when Kahn and the company still lived in Rukon District of the capital Rathna.

And after they used the restoration artifacts, the whole site was restored to its former state in just a couple of hours. So in case the families of the dead were to come to visit them, no one could find that there were no bodies inside the tombs.

The next day, Kahn visited the burial site of the Berawaa region where more than 30 thousand soldiers died during the battle against the forces of the legendary Ashokvatika that was killed by Ceril in the end and helped Armin to become a legendary rank general.

Kahn then followed the same procedure and ended up making 15 thousand new soldiers as part of the legion and got rid of all the traces.

On their way back to the capital Aesir, only Kahn and Ronin were in the main cockpit of the warship.

"Master… may I ask why are you doing this?

Isn't that risky?" asked Ronin with a curious countenance.

"They're the contingency plan." replied Kahn who was donned in his new and comfortable black and gray attire which had a white shirt, a black tie and an undercoat. The longcoat itself had two coattails. And the fingerless black gloves gave him a look of a seasoned warrior who was ready to fight at any given moment.

His appearance looked like royalty who was on official business.

The main reason why Kahn waited for the first 3 weeks was because the matter had to be settled after the attacks of both legendary creatures and the families of the Dead would visit the gravesites in thousands for the first few weeks.

So using the dead bodies to create new subordinates wasn't a good idea back then when everyone was on alert.

But he had to act within this time range because unlike Ceril, he couldn't awaken the completely decomposed bodies or something that was nothing but bones.

Luckily, the bodies in the world of Vantrea started fully decaying after 4 weeks since it took some time for the mana that basically made the bodies of all living beings in this world to break down on its own and completely dissipate.

So this was the best window for Kahn to act.

And as for the main reason why he was desecrating the dead again… because he had big plans for them.

Something he couldn't reveal already before it was time.

Kahn and his entourage reached the capital without any worries or complications after he successfully completed the main objective.

However….

The very next morning, Ronin received a transmission.

"We have got a problem!" spoke Ronin as he telepathically communicated with Kahn who was still sleeping in his bedroom.

"What is it?" asked Kahn as he was annoyed to death and cuddled his pillow like an adult who did not want to go their job.

But what Ronin said completely woke him from the half-asleep state in seconds.

"A massacre!"
