After traveling all the way to the city wall, all five of us unleash fire magic towards the beast house.
Then, the moment the enemy's eyes moved to Fire Arrow, he hid in the darkness of night and climbed the wall, escaping the stronghold.
"Yeah, you're burning solid. It's gonna be hard to extinguish the fire."
This should limit the enemy's mobility to walking for the time being.
"Congratulations, brother!
"Thank you. Good luck, everyone. All we have to do is get away from here, so let's just try harder."
"" "" Yes!
The magic I shot is a mediocre fire arrow... but thanks to pre-fueled fuel, I want to burn too much goose than I expected.
You did a great job using a lot of fuel oil without a scratch.
"Master, there are more signs of strong men in enemy strongholds"
"Thank you, Marina. Uh-huh, this time too...... He's totally after me."
A report of the transfer of the strong came in from Marina as she moved to the safe zone and took a breather with her hurried enemies in her ass screaming gagger.
Zombies don't get caught up in signs detection, so I still don't know if the forwarded human is a necromancer... but to kill me, I'm pretty sure he's moving.
"As we were aiming, we were able to attract the strong to the border. Operation is a success."
"" "" Congratulations!
It's just... if we let the target get away with two in a row, it's likely that the enemy will change their policies as well.
Before that happens, I'd like to stop another one.
"Ian. The big base of the Nazar army, prone to crushing transport routes, was still there, wasn't it?
"Yes, if you're near here, you'll find the city of Hesola"
"Let's also launch a night raid on the city of Hesola while they don't change their policies. The operation is just like this one."
"Yes, sir."
"I'm gonna be busy, but can we all do that?
"Of course, brother."
"" I'll do my best!
"Thanks, that'll help."
I'm sorry I put a strain on the four of you, but this is my chance, and I think we should move now.
While taking turns and taking a nap, he proceeded to dig the underground tunnel… and made a night raid on the "city of Hesola”, attracting another Bernhardt necromancer.
Koch gave me a giant zombie, so I didn't have to investigate it.
"It seems that all the people who came to the border were Beta's necromancers, according to the information we got and heard about the fugitive soldiers. Their aim is to use zombie soldiers to kill me, as expected."
Beta's Necromancer seems to limit himself to manipulating one S-rank equivalent… or three A-rank equivalents.
They say the time you can use Necromancer magic in a row is about 30 minutes to recover the potion.
Compared to Alpha's Necromancer magic, it falls... but I think it's a sufficient threat to just be able to swap zombie soldiers according to the enemy's fighting style.
"There should only be eight official Bernhardt necromancers. It must have been a big deal to stop three of them."
The Ians seem very happy that the operation was successful and the effort paid off.
You were all worth the effort.
"There are four Bernhardts left who are free to move because Esther is killing one Beta alone"
If I could, I would have stopped about one more person... but wanting more results is too greedy, isn't it?
The days of watching over the movements of the Necromancer continue while providing support for his allies.
So far, the powerful have eaten and fished luxury dishes stored in magic bags, and the miscellaneous soldiers have eaten goblins and weeds, which seem to outgrow hunger.
Naturally, there are numerous dissatisfied, and deserters continue to do so.
But the commanders and necromancers are busy impersonating each other with responsibility... and they can't afford to worry about the bottom line.
By the time we run out of our own food, it sounds like we're trying to figure it out... but before we do, we'll be killed by our allies, won't we?
Or I could use a forwarding zombie, with a magic bag full of soldiers, even a soldier.
There's a limit to the number of transfers, so I don't think we can keep food for everyone, but it should be far better than nothing.
"Brother, apparently the enemy moves!
With that in mind, Esther, who was interrogating the fugitive soldier, reported in.
"Right. What's their policy?
"Attack the city of Thanx, which the Count of Sub-In holds down, with three troops with Necromancers, and then take the food."
If the wizard, the Necromancer, moves, the blockade of the path we have created will be lifted.
The "City of Thanx" is also an important base for both armies….
"The soldiers are starving, wouldn't they be useless? In this situation, you think you can win?
The Quor army is not the same as the Los Saltas, is it?
The Commander's Count of Subin is also calm, but not incompetent.
There should be no creation, such as starving and dealing with weakened enemy soldiers.
"They say the lower end is unhappy, so they use it as a meat wall."
"Oh, I see."
The bad move, knowingly, is to use disobedient subordinates and crush them... instead, are we going to get our own handle and food?
"I'm really glad I'm not one of their guys. I'm sorry to hear that."
"Yes. After you kill them, we will build a grave and mourn their spirits."
Right.
In the next life, I'll provide you with proper sustenance so you can work under a decent boss.
