Chapter 471: Taking Care Of Future Problems

Just a little over twenty thousand soldiers.

That was the number of soldiers that General Fahad had under his command, including those that had been injured during the battle that happened a few hours ago.

They might have won, but the losses they suffered were truly high, and they barely had enough men to defend their territory.

Because of this, they asked for the Main Camp to send some soldiers their way in order to take the prisoners back to the Main Yelan Headquarters, where they would be imprisoned.

Lux and his friends took this opportunity to get their well-deserved rest, and all of them woke up just past noon time.

Before resting, the Half-Elf had told General Fahad in private that General Phobus and his Vice General were dead, which made the Yelan General breathe a little easier.

As long as he and Benjamin were there to defend the Eastern Quarter, they would be able to hold it—but that was also as long as the enemy didn't send any other Generals with Rankers to their side.

When General Fahad asked if it was possible for Lux to give General Phobus' and Second's bodies to them as trophies of the war, the Half-Elf firmly rejected their request.

Naturally, the Yelan General tried to bribe him with great rewards, but the red-headed teenager was adamant in keeping the dead bodies of the two Rankers with him, so General Fahad could only give up in the end.

As a Necromancer, he had a lot of uses for the corpses of the two Rankers, allowing him to bolster his forces for the next campaigns against the Ammarian Army.

When Great General Watson and Great General Sherlock heard of the great achievement that Lux and General Fahad had made in the Eastern Battlefield, the two of them praised them to the high heavens.

They also immediately mobilized over 5,000 troops to march towards the Eastern Front to take the Prisoners, in addition to sending necessary supplies to the Eastern Encampment, which had suffered greatly from the war.

"Three more battlefields remain," Lux looked at the information that was available to him.

—---------

Forest Campaign Ammarian General - Revon

Mountain Campaign Ammarian General - Herodes

Plains Campaign Ammarian General - Gideon

On their way to the Marshlands, they had come across some border guards that were fighting in the Glouswell Forest that belonged to General Carran of the Yelan Kingdom.

His opponent on that battlefield was General Revon of the Ammarian Army, and based on the provided information, the Ammarian General was a seasoned warrior in his early fifties.

Unlike General Phobus, General Revon was said to be an Instinctual General, and was known for his ability to foil any strategies that were aimed at him.

Because of this, the General that Great General Watson and Great General Sherlock had placed to contend against him was the fiercest General of the Yelan Kingdom, and that was none other than General Carran.

According to the information that General Fahad shared with Lux, General Carran was the strongest warrior in the Yelan Kingdom and had never been defeated in the past.

Supposedly, General Carran should have been the one stationed at the Great Plains, facing off against the Main Army of the Ammarian Kingdom.

However, the General strongly requested that he be pitted against General Revon. He believed that he was the only one who could counter the unpredictable and powerful General, who was hailed as the strongest Warrior of the Ammarian Kingdom.

It was a battle between two Great Warriors who had risen to their position through many campaigns, earning them the right and reputation to lead tens of thousands of troops in battle, who idolized them.

"Lux, we can't afford to leave this place right now," General Fahad said. "Please, reinforce General Carran and help him defeat General Revon. Right now, the two of them are in a stalemate, but just like what happened here, the Ammarian Army had greater numbers.

"Also, the remnant troops that belonged to General Phobus will definitely go to General Revon, further increasing the army he commands. You are the only one that I can ask to tilt the battle in our favor."

General Fahad bowed his head towards the Half-Elf, who had allowed them to overcome the crisis that they were facing.

"Understood, General," Lux replied. "Please ensure that the people I told you about will not be able to escape from their imprisonment. Although they are my former comrades, we are at war right now. Don't show them any leniency because, believe me, if you give them an opportunity, you will regret it."

General Fahad nodded. "I will guarantee that they will not be able to return to the battlefield again. Even now, I placed powerful shackles on their bodies, preventing them from using any of their abilities. Even a Ranker will not be able to break those shackles easily, so you don't have to worry about them anymore.

"Still, if you think that they will cause future problems, I can dispose of them for you. Don't worry, I promise to be discreet and hide their bodies in a place where it can't be discovered."

Lux shook his head, knowing that if General Fahad really did this, he would suffer a headache when he left the Sacred Dungeon later on.

"You don't have to kill them, General," Lux replied. "They have already surrendered. Although we are on different sides right now, they were still once my comrades, so I will not be able to sleep peacefully at night knowing that they died after they have already laid down their arms."

General Fahad looked at the Half-Elf with renewed appreciation because he never thought that Lux would still care for the men that turned their backs on him.

Naturally, the Yelan Commander didn't know the full story, so he was able to think in this manner.

Also, on the way to the Marshlands, Lux had already started to prepare for the battle in the forest.

He knew that if they lost the battle in the Marshlands, the Ammarian Army led by General Phobus, and Second, would target the Yelan Army in Glouswell Forest.

Because of this, he left his two Doppelgangers to handle things for him, in preparation for the possible pincer attack by the two armies.

Fortunately, the worst case scenario didn't happen, which gave Lux the opportunity to use the plan he thought out a few days ago.

'My Doppelgangers have already laid down the foundations,' Lux mused. 'All I need to do is use them at the right moment. Although I'm not sure how I will fare against this Instinctual General, it will be a great learning experience, especially since I'll be facing Rankers who specializes in large-scale battles.'

As a Necromancer, Lux knew that there would come a time when he would command vast hordes of Undead to fight against his foes.

He knew that he wasn't a good General, so he decided to learn from them in order to better understand how others fought on different battlefields.

He believed that his Named Creatures, the members of his Covenant, as well as his Animated Undead Legion, which he still hadn't started, could act as his Commanders in his future battles.

This way, he would be able to wield a force that could threaten not only his enemies, but entire Kingdoms, if they ever tried to step on him using their military might.
