Ansell stared at the crystal ball sullenly. Even though he wasn't speaking a word, it could be seen from his expression that he was on the verge of exploding with wrath. In fact, if what Rairhan said were true... he couldn't find any areas of rebuttal to prove that this Death Knight was merely using a clumsy lie to hide his failures. Perhaps he would feel better if it was a lie. But it was a pity that he was still clear-headed.

Ansell almost agreed with everything that Rairhan had reported to him and that was referring to the Renner Kingdom being ready for their raids. The reason was simple. The Dali Kingdom had investigated the situation of Grenbell, which included the sudden emergence of a young Human overlord and the massive Fortress being built in only two weeks. No matter if the rumors were genuine, there weren't any signs of human habitations or buildings in the past. On the other hand, it was only half a year ago when that young overlord went to the duchy to build the Fortress. Ansell felt that this young overlord was well prepared. Even though it was only right for them to stay vigilant for lurking Undead Creatures by the border, this young overlord's cautiousness had surpassed all limits. It felt as though he was aware of the Dali's Kingdom planned raids.

"You said... They have Mages who suppressed the Necromancers?"

"Yes, Sir Ansell. At least that's what that damn Vampire said."

"... Is it Ashtar?"

"I'm sorry, Sir. I didn't see him around."

"..."

There was a momentary silence.

Ansell pondered in silence. This was extremely critical on the battlefield. Every second of hesitation would bring about an entirely different ending. But he didn't care. He was considering a serious question, which might directly affect the future war situation. In the end, Ansell lifted his head and gazed at Rairhan coldly. At this moment, an ear-piercing voice sounded.

"Please pardon me for turning up despite being uninvited. I heard that you've gotten into some trouble?"

Ansell turned toward the voice. A Necromancer clad in a pitch-black robe slowly approached him. Ansell narrowed his eyes.You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

"Master Lars."

Lars let out a peal of laughter so disturbingly sharp that even Ansell couldn't help but knit his brows. He held down the fury inside him as he gazed at the aged face.

"I don't know. Frankly speaking, I hope they come sooner."

Alex shook his head. These were his sincere words. If the Undead Army once again launched their attack, it proved that they were only temporarily moving back to regroup. But there would be huge trouble if they didn't respond for a long time. Alex was only able to observe the situation in his territory but was completely blinded by darkness in terms of the situation in other territories. Even though he knew that his Fortress was on the road that the Undead Army would take, he couldn't help but feel some nervousness as though the calm before the tsunami: was unsettling and frightening.

He didn't know how the Undead Army would retaliate. It was without doubt that they would increase the number of troops, but what about their types? Skeleton Soldiers and Bone Griffins were the lowest of grades and there wasn't much pressure dealing with them. But the outcome would be uncertain if there were other types of enemies. The powerful mage was around to suppress the Necromancers, so Alex wasn't worried about them at all. With that mage's strength, there were almost no Necromancers who could avoid her spell suppression.

"————!"

Suddenly, Alex twitched his brows. He stood up and his expression instantly turned ice-cold.

"They're here."

"Huh?"

Cecilia gazed blankly and before she could react, Alex gave his command.

"Get everyone ready for battle immediately!"

Warning bells rang instantly. The soldiers rushed up the city walls and got ready in the quickest time possible. After driving off the first wave of the Undead Army, the soldiers were beaming with more confidence and less fear. They readied their bows and arrows forward while the silver-whitish light column blasted into the sky and illuminated every inch of the surface.

But this time, the situation appeared to be different as they heard deep noises from afar.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

It sounded as though a gigantic monster was slowly stomping through the surface. Everyone felt the solid city walls trembling. In an instant, the soldiers looked at one another worriedly. Unlike the group of newbies, Alex lifted his head and gazed straight into the distance.

At this moment, the truth unveiled itself before them.

"Oh my goodness..."
