Chapter 221 – Chapter 23

Can-can-can! Simplicity and honesty! Whoops!

When the undead fight each other, there is no screaming or screaming.

Only the sound of hard bones and rigid flesh being crushed resounded.

“Uh, why!? It’s definitely the same type of undead I use!”

During patrol, the vampires who discovered Lillian’s party attacked them in the same way as the previous ones.

However, recently, people on patrol had died, so he sent only the undead to safely grasp the enemy’s power.

However, the undead were brought out from the other side, and a battle between the undead occurred.

In the Cameld Kingdom, low-level undead such as skeletons and zombies without reason serve as enlisted soldiers, property, and currency for vampires.

So, the vampires who sent the undead from afar were shocked because they knew that the undead sent by the other party was the undead they had created.

“Why are only mine being destroyed unilaterally!?”

In terms of numbers, his undead were obviously overwhelming, but when he fought, they were being destroyed unilaterally.

Clink!

“Ouch!”

The vampire, who was about to retreat and report the situation, screamed in indescribable pain as the vial shattered at his feet.

“Kkeo! Kkeureukreuk!”
“Darkness is not yours alone.”
“Kuk…Kukkuk…! Fu heh!”

A vampire who is called the nobility of the night and knows how to use the darkness more perfectly than anyone else.

However, since Lilith is also a demon who has been using the darkness for hundreds of years, she succeeded in a surprise attack on the vampire using the darkness.

“This…Is…What…Wow! What the heck…What…! Cool! Cool!”
“What is it? It’s poison.”
“Even… Poison…!? I… Poison…!? Unbelievable… Not…!”

Undead are undead, even if they have received some of the characteristics of the living.
Poison that poisons the undead?

The vampire shot an arrow at the head of the vampire, who was continuously regurgitating white smoke and black blood, so that he would not suffer any more.

“It’s really amazing. A poison that only works for vampires. She’s a woman who deserves the title ‘poison’.”

The glass bottle she threw contained Dang Seol-young’s special poison dance, which was made by performing all sorts of experiments on captured vampires.

If an ordinary person drinks it, it causes mild poisoning symptoms that make people feel sick and get better after lying down for a day or so.

It is being produced in preparation for the Great War against the Cameld Kingdom, and when sufficient quantities are available, even an ordinary soldier can kill a vampire.

If Tang Seol-ying had reached this level in her martial arts, she would have been called the dictator 萬毒帝 and made her Tang family the best in the world, but now she was only using her abilities for her chi cent. .

In addition, they raised the mercenaries, who were very behind compared to themselves, to a level that could not be ignored with one piece of armor.

In his own world, a magic item with such abilities must be at least a national treasure, but in Kaicent’s world, it is a general armament worn by family soldiers.

In other words, if you put your mind to it, you can create more armaments.

‘If Kaicent becomes malicious towards this world…’

It comes to mind naturally that they produce weapons without caring about the balance of the world or the attention of others, and that Tang Xue-yeong creates poison that will destroy the world and that they assist it.

Dang Seol-yeong’s joining of a dangerous existence before has greatly increased the danger several times.

‘I don’t have any particular affection for this world, but I need to catch him by my side so he doesn’t become such a slayer.’

Her many hardships have made her more mature for her age, but she is very sensitive to her own possessions (women), which may have also inherited her dragon-kin greed.

Lilith rummaged through the vampire’s corpse for traces of magic, confirmed that the pocket inside the cloak was a subspace pocket, and retrieved the cloak.

Vampires all have subspace pouches, small or large, and most of them are connected to the inner pouch of the cloak.

It seems that the subspace in the form of a general pocket that is carried is connected to the cloak because it looks ugly from the outside.

There is Kaicent’s dimensional warehouse, but if each individual can use the subspace pouch, the convenience is multiplied.

As Lilith dealt with the vampires and collected the loot, Kaicent, who controlled the undead, smiled with satisfaction.

‘The fighting power of zombies and skeletons is superior. It’s also Artemis.’
-I have repaired and strengthened the undead, but the master’s power is also great.-

In battle, the power of numbers is so important that it becomes a tactic by itself.

However, Kaicent received help from Artemis to strengthen the fighting power of the undead.

Knowing that for the power of numbers to be effective, it is meaningful to have similar fighting power, so we decided to enhance the fighting power by strengthening skeletons and zombies.

Skeletons were assembled with particularly hard or developed bones, and zombies were also combined with those with excellent muscles to maximize combat power.

From there, as a plus, even the power of Kaicent.

That is the reason why the unilateral slaughter was carried out against the undead sent by the vampires.

‘Numbers are important, but I have to have meaningful fighting power.’

Normal skeletons and zombies do not deal meaningful damage to those who are called strong and serve only as a meat shield that consumes physical strength.

That’s not bad, but if you can deliver an unexpected blow to an enemy who is openly ignoring or careless, the fatigue of the strong rises rapidly.

“Wow. Overwhelming.”
“To strengthen the lower level undead zombies and skeletons to that level.”
“It’s dangerous, but it’s fighting power enough to enter the end of the intermediate level.”

The mercenaries who were watching from the back under Lillian’s direction felt that their choice was right in the strength of the mercenary corps, which was much stronger than before.

“Captain…No, Princess.”
“You can call me comfortably when we’re alone.”
“Ah, how many times will we be alone in the future. We should get used to it from now on.”
“Do whatever you want. But why?”
“If you look at that, it seems that there will be quite a strong player in the Liberation Army, is that okay?”

A mercenary was uneasy about the plan to talk to the liberation army.

It was because he witnessed that the dark clouds that covered the sun had disappeared in the distance and were bathing in the bright sunlight.

When Akina attacked the kingdom of the dead, the Liberation Army did what the priests who came to support had given up because it was too difficult.

“It’s stronger than expected, but we still need to talk. So we can plan how we’ll move forward.”
“Uhm. I’m a bit uneasy. Will those who are strong and have grown their power come under the princess now?”
“I’ll have to look into that too.”
“Lillian, a group of creatures are coming our way.”

Then, Artie intervened, signaling that someone in a group was coming in their direction.

“Are you a liberation army?”
“I don’t think so. Gait, armed, all expected civilian.”

His thermal vision explained that the hordes beyond the darkness were civilians, but he still ordered his men on alert just in case.

After returning from the retrieval, Lilith took out her bow and was wary of her surroundings.

So, everyone was wary of their surroundings and moved toward the group that was approaching them. After about 10 minutes, the group that was approaching stopped moving as if they had discovered Lillian’s party.

“I’ll go. Cover me.”

Priscilla decided to make contact with her opponents and moved towards them, drawing her sword.

“Who are you guys! If it’s an enemy, don’t play tricks and attack at any time!”

In her voice that went out strongly to overcome the initiative from the beginning,

“Now, now, now, hold on! We’re not on anyone’s side!”

A middle-aged man from the other side, who seemed to be the representative, raised both hands with a frightened face.

I strengthened my eyesight to check in the dark, and it was a typical refugee with a few bundles, let alone armed.

She searched the surrounding area to see if it was a bait, but could not confirm the existence of the enemy.

Priscilla turned her gaze towards her group, confirmed Lillian’s nodded look, then drew her sword.

“Come over here. I want to ask you something.”

All the refugees were frightened by the sight of Lillian’s armed party and roamed around like cattle being led to the slaughterhouse.

Lillian, who waited patiently, decided to calm them down.

“I will only ask you two questions. If you answer me gently, I’ll let you go, so don’t worry.”

Whether it was because of the sincerity in her voice or because of Lillian’s graceful beauty, the refugees nodded and calmed down little by little.

Confirming that she had calmed down, she asked the evacuees the inevitable question.

“Who are you? And where and why are you heading?”
“That…But who are the masters…”
“I hate answering questions with questions.”
“Hick! Sorry! What are you doing! Answer me quickly!”
“Oh, I see! Sorry!”

When Lillian lightly cheered up the refugees, they hurriedly apologized, frightened.

“Well, we’re just ordinary people. But one day, people called the Liberation Army came…”

To be honest, when the Kingdom of Lucy Arkenel collapsed, the people lived without much inconvenience, except for not being able to see the sunlight.

In the Cameld Kingdom, blood was transfused from time to time, but there was no major problem even after a few days of being without power while supporting skeletons that were not particularly painful and could do simple tasks.

But recently, people called the Liberation Army appeared and killed the vampires with overwhelming power, then extinguished the clouds that covered the sun.

The problem was after this.

“But they started forcing us to do hard labor!”

It’s not just heavy labor.
Except for the time to eat, sleep, and pack, I always work, work, work.

Even during the days of the Lucy Arkenel Kingdom and when it was under the rule of the Cameld Kingdom, there was time to spend leisure time at a tavern or something else after a day’s work.

However, when under the Liberation Army, even the slaves suffered all kinds of hardships, taking on the heavy lifting of inciting riots.

Of course, they also asked for more time to rest.

However, Kang Myeong-cheol, the leader of the Liberation Army, ignored their request and said:

-What? Are you guys kidding me? I’m here to free you guys! If you can’t fight properly, you shouldn’t be doing this properly!
-And are you the only one struggling? Everyone here is having a hard time!-
– Even if everyone works together to defeat the vampires, it’s not enough, so you want more time to rest? If I die, I will rest for the rest of my life, so if you want to do that, I guess.

Here he made some mistakes.

The people lived under the Cameld Kingdom without any major inconvenience, except for the fact that they could not see the sunlight.

I didn’t even beg to be saved in the first place, but after saving it, everyone forced me to work together to defeat the Cameld Kingdom.

What’s even funnier is that they don’t even have time to rest properly, but they’re even making money.

It seems that he clearly intends to create his own country, but he takes the sacrifice of his subordinates for granted.

“We are running away to our homeland because we no longer want to work for the Liberation Army.”
“…”
“Knight?”
“Um, ah. Thanks for the info. Let’s go on our way.”
“Go, thank you.”

They chose to run away from the Liberation Army’s oppression, and they hurriedly moved to express their gratitude to Lillian for letting them go.

“…The eyes, the voice, everything was telling the truth.”

After finding out about the Liberal Army’s true story by Kai Cent, who authenticated them through Artemis, she couldn’t open her words.

“…”
“…”

Everyone couldn’t open their mouths at Lillian’s silence.

Even the mercenaries learned that there was no room for dialogue after hearing the circumstances of the Liberation Army.

“Lily…”
“It’s a good thing.”
“Huh?”
“Uh?”

Priscilla tried to comfort her, but she said it was okay with a look that said nothing was wrong.

“Why? Did you really think I would die like this?”
“No… But I need the cooperation of the Liberation Army…”
“It wasn’t necessary, I was trying to find out if cooperation was possible through dialogue. But knowing that there was a tyrant in place that allowed the Liberation Army to collapse itself, the danger of going into enemy lines was gone, wasn’t it?”

Certainly, if you tell such a person Lillian’s identity, it is highly likely that he will be hostile to her, thinking that he threatens his position rather than cooperation.

“But what are you going to do next?”
“Why don’t we take care of the Liberal Army’s leadership with a surprise attack and swallow the Liberal Army?”

The mercenaries, ignorant of this next plan, had several opinions.

Among them, attacking the leaders of the Liberation Army was quite good, but she opened her mouth with a smile that seemed to draw out her bluff.

“You can do that later. There’s something I have to do before that.”
“What is it?”
“To determine whether a legend is real or not.”
