Chapter 19: 19

The Undead Army that had already moved out from the northern defensive line of Asuma instantly retreated back to the city of Tumala.

Seeing that the undead army was retreating, the soldiers in Asuma City immediately sent this news back.

The new emperor, Garcia Alberta, was very confused. He had no idea what was going on.

“Retreat? What does that mean? Could it be that the undead army is having an internal conflict?”

With this doubt in mind, Alberta sent the three members of the Bravehearts team to the frontlines to conduct an investigation.

The Bravehearts team, which originally had five members, now had three members. They did not plan to increase the number of teammates in the short term.

Because they were now an S-rank adventurer team, it was very difficult to find teammates of the same rank as them. It was even more difficult to find people who were compatible with their personalities.

Although adventurer Benedict Smith was not as strong as Hall, he was still the fastest-growing adventurer in the Fergus Empire.

Upon receiving the order, Smith immediately brought the two other members of his team to Asuma.

To prevent any other member of their team from dying, Benedict Smith came up with a new plan this time!

He left the other two members of his team in the city before starting his investigation. He came to the battlefield alone and spied on the movements of the undead army from afar.

After these large armies left the northern front of Asuma, they all headed southwest under the lead of the undead general.

It seemed that their target was the Duchy of St. Margaret.

‘I really didn’t expect the undead army to actually change their target!’

After receiving this news, Benedict immediately turned around and left the ruins, quickly returning to Asuma City.

Along with his two teammates, he immediately rushed towards the capital of Fergus, preparing to report this information.

After all, after the Battle of Tumala, people had already started losing faith in him. If he did not perform well after that, he would most likely get sacked by Alberta.

On the other side, the Supreme Lord Hall had already brought his subordinates back to the city of Mediarudy.

As there was no longer any threat from the undead army, the first thing Hall did after returning to the city was to send Willis to lead Hymin and Gerard’s army.

He brought with him a cover that could cover the sky and cover the darkness, heading towards the territory of the Earl of Langford.

This time, Hall had already prepared 100,000 troops for Willis for this attack.

He would not give any enemy a chance to breathe.

Looking at the army behind him and Willis in front of them, Hymin and Gerard were extremely excited.

Once the war started, they would be able to charge into the battlefield and collect more blood of the right type.

That blood, along with a little magic from the Supreme Lord, would allow them to be able to advance again and have the strength of an Abyss Lord like Willis!

In just three days, the army of 100,000 had arrived at the Eastern Mountains of the territory of the Earl of Langford.

At this time, the people at the territory of Langford from the Fox Empire had not noticed anything unusual.

However, when night fell, the soldiers in the city noticed that the sky was darker than usual that night.

Thinking that the dark clouds in the sky were dispersing, they did not realize that darkness had already enveloped them.

After the moon had been shielded from view, all the undead creatures were as excited as if they had been injected with stimulants.

This was because the moon reflected light from the sun, and thus would weaken ordinary undead creatures to a certain extent.

However, this did not affect the strength of the powerful dark creatures and abyssal creatures.

Among them, Landel was the most peculiar. He was not scared of sunlight one bit. Even while under the sunlight, he would not lose even the slightest bit of strength.

When everything was ready, the entire eastern side of the town was filled with undead troops.

They were just waiting for the time to hit midnight. This was the time when humans were the most tired. This would allow them to preserve more of their strength!

The patrolling soldiers on the wooden fence of the inner city were already feeling sleepy at this point. But because the undead had disappeared unusually early today, they had a feeling that it was almost dawn.

Not long after, the soldiers on the wooden fence in the city noticed something strange!

Countless undead creatures suddenly appeared below, and these creatures had already smashed open the gates of the city.

The alarm was only sounded after the undead broke into the city.

However, it was already too late, because more than 20,000 undead soldiers had already swarmed into the city.

These skeleton soldiers and zombies started killing everything they saw as soon as they entered the city. They did not give the soldiers who had just woken up any chance at all.

In less than three hours, Willis easily won the first battle.

Hymin and Gerard, who were ready to show off their skills, looked at each other. They were only assigned simple tasks from the beginning.

The two of them flew into the city together, found the device to open the gate of the city, and then put the gate down.

The army soon entered the city. The two of them didn’t even take out the weapons hanging on their backs before winning the battle.

“This is too boring!” Hymin complained.

“Lord Willis is indeed a god. He took down the defensive city with no effort!” Gerard, on the other hand, was more pragmatic and immediately started to flatter them.

Looking at the two of them, Willis shook his head and turned around to start rebuilding the city.

From today onwards, the territory of the Earl of Langford had become their defensive line.

Although Willis really did not want to do this, he had too few soldiers on hand and did not have the strength to challenge the Fergus Empire.

As such, he could only take it one step at a time. Step by step, he could increase the number of his troops by conquering city by city.

One day, he would be able to gather enough soldiers and directly attack the capital of the Fergus Empire!

The news of the defeat did not spread out, because more and more black clouds were gathering in the sky.

The clouds were so thick that the rising sun could not be seen at Bader City, even though it was already past ten in the morning there.

This meant that the power of the undead was getting stronger and stronger and that they were getting closer to the Fergus Empire.

After realizing this, the City Lord of Bader City immediately sent out an investigation team and found that the entire city of Langford had been destroyed.

After finding this out, the scouts quickly brought this news to Bader City.

A few hours later, the news was sent to Alberta from the magic signal tower in Bader City.

Looking at the urgent news on hand, Alberta frowned.. He had never thought that these 15,000 elite soldiers of the empire would all be wiped out so easily!
