Chapter 240 – Chapter 25

“I can’t see that elf. According to the information.”

Leading thousands of undead troops, the vampires smiled at an army they had never seen before.

“It’s interesting, but that’s all.”
“Damn it. Of course, you can’t draw blood from trees. Do you have to drink animal blood?”

The only complaint is that the human ratio is extremely small, so you have to suck the blood of animals.

Since they use their own blood to use bizarre blood magic, they had to replenish it by absorbing the blood of their enemies.

“Everyone focus. The woman the Queen spoke of is that woman.”
“It’s nice to be noticed.”
“It’s good to capture alive, but if the situation doesn’t go well, it’s okay to kill. However, live as much as possible.”
“The other guys can handle it to their heart’s content.”

The vampires, who had been ordered by the queen to bring Lillian as intact as possible, were conversing in a casual atmosphere considering that they had appeared on the battlefield.

“Aren’t you all too careless? And why don’t we wait for Lord Sirin’s support for a more certain victory?”

Vampire men in a quiet atmosphere warned everyone to take their enemies lightly.

“These are the ones who kicked out Kang Myung-cheol. Besides, it’s not urgent, so take it easy…”
“It must be quite strong. I have no intention of denying that.”
“But the situation is different with us. When they kicked out Kang Myung-cheol, it was after an infighting broke out.”

Without properly checking the duel between Kaicent and Kang Myung-cheol, they only confirmed the result, and they judged that Lillian’s party attacked and drove them out at once.

I felt Kang Myung-cheol’s strength with my body, so all the talented people over there must be at a considerable level.

And,

“In addition, we were at a disadvantage against the elf archer Celestine. If we had only Kang Myung-cheol, we could have dealt with it with our own strength.”

A divine power that has the worst compatibility with the undead.

Celestine’s power, which blows away divine power with arrows or uses several divine spells, boasts a very good compatibility with Kang Myung-cheol, and can destroy thousands of undead forces with just the power of the two.

But even that was possible because of the existence of Celestine.

“When Sirin comes, he will surely win.”
“The Queen ordered me to catch it myself. Are you thinking of taking this opportunity away from Sir Shirin?”

They revealed their greed to make credit for the fact that the Queen gave the order directly.

Vampires generally have two rewards.

A chance to receive various material rewards like humans, or to inherit the blood of a higher blood relative and rise to a higher rank.

The ranks of the Cameld Kingdom differ depending on the lineage and the number of generations.

No matter how many achievements you accumulate, if you are not a high ranking blood relative, you will have to stay in the same position for the rest of your life.

If you can receive some of the blood of a higher blood relative or queen as a reward, you can evolve into a higher species, become stronger than you are now, and rise to a higher rank.

Shirin, who was hit by Celestine’s divine power, is being treated directly with the Queen’s power.

If this opportunity is missed, Shirin’s arrival will be a war to be won ‘of course’.

“To all positions! It’s a type of army you’ve never seen before, but in the end it’s just an army made up of the living!”

When the commander gave the order, the vampires who had gathered for the meeting scattered all over the place.

“Huh?”
“Uh?”

While waiting for an attack command like that, the vampires who were watching the front discovered something.

“That one?”

There were huge ents, roughly 40 to 50 meters tall, in strange poses.

Twisting the upper body sideways and pulling it back.

In a pose reminiscent of something, the vampires narrowed their eyes and tried to take a closer look, even though they were looking through the darkness as if it were daylight.

Then, as the upper bodies of the Ents pulled back returned to their original positions and swung their arms wide, the vampires’ expressions twisted in astonishment.

“Spread!!”
“Spread out!!”

Each of the Ents was holding a handful of rocks the size of a human torso.

Shyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Kwajik! Thud! Kwa Kwa Kah Ga Gak!!

Huge rocks flew faster than arrows and crushed the undead army.

Depending on the flying rocks, there are places that have been swept away, and there are places that have been stamped and become like pizza.

However, the vampires all escaped safely by transforming into fog, bats, or flies.

“It’s like a catapult.”
“It must be overwhelming in a siege.”
“It’s a pity. If you make that undead, it will be useful in many ways.”
“Shall we check if the tree becomes undead?”

A considerable number of undead were destroyed, but the Vampires, who did not regret it at all, took out an orb emitting an ominous red light from their arms.

As the light filled inside the beads became stronger, they came down to different places, slithering like water.

At the same time, except for the undead that were destroyed to a very severe level, they were restored to their original state.

“Attack!”
“Move, servants!”

Acknowledging that they were being pushed back in a long-distance battle, the vampires attacked first.

The undead might seem slow, but the undead led by the Cameld Kingdom are enhanced with special blood magic, so even ordinary skeletons can run at high speed.

Doo doo doo doo—-

In particular, the chimera zombies, whose lower body was composed of a horse and upper body of a humanoid monster, rushed quickly and reached into the side of the horse to pull out a bone arrow, as if taking an arrow out of a bow.

“Go. Rot the unclean beings into dust.”

You can’t stand still against cavalry archers.

At Neledriel’s command, the silent beasts exploded into the beast castle and rushed at the enemies.

Pipipiping!

Arrows fired from bows made of reinforced bones and special strings are shot at the beasts.

As arrows imbued with ominous black light flew in a parabolic arc, the beasts gave strength and charged at even greater speed.

The beasts that received some of Neledriel’s power became 1.5 times faster and escaped from the arrow net.

“Kaeng!”
“Kreurreuk!”

90% escaped from the arrow net, but the beasts in the back were showered with arrows.

Beasts with thick iron plate-like skins growing on the center of their backs and heads blocked the arrows, but in some cases the arrows pierced the hides or where there was no skin.

“Kahak!”

However, when the wound started to rot around the wound, the animals were embarrassed by the sudden pain.

This would be the situation if you were attacked even once by the undead of the Cameld Kingdom, overflowing with fraudulent death.

This is the reason why the collateral royals and nobles who tried to regain the kingdom of Lucy Arkenel were defeated despite overwhelming numbers.

It was because he could not withstand using an attack that could only be recovered with divine power or powerful healing magic without special skills if he was attacked even once.

In addition, if they are eroded by this fraud and die, they become undead on the spot and attack those who were allies.

As the war escalated into a long war, the Cameld Kingdom had no choice but to take advantage.

On the other hand, when the troops in charge of the cavalry clashed, the infantrymen who played the anvil also collided.

In the battle between the infantry, Neledriel’s army had the advantage.

“Kwoaaaaa!”
“Whoop! Whoop!”

As the bears, covered in huge iron plate-like skins on their stomachs and backs, swung their arms, zombies were crushed and skeletons shattered.

Boars and deer rush into the hole made by the bear and ram it with their antlers.

The attacks of the beasts, each of which can serve as heavy cavalry, are overwhelming.

“Now! We charge too!”

Lilian, riding on Neledriel’s back, gave the order to charge.

“Everyone, don’t forget your role!”

With those words, Lillian and the others were quickly shot.

“Okay! We’re coming too!”
“Kuh-kuh. It’s going crazy. This is the first time I’ve ever had a war like this.”

One beat late, mercenaries armed with battle armor ran out.

Their role is to hold off the enemy forces until Lillian’s party defeats the vampires.

The mercenaries, who were unified in old-fashioned black cloaks that did not match the battle armors, dug into the undead unit and wielded weapons mixed with Neledriel’s army.

*                           *

People who belonged to the Liberation Army were preparing for the festival.

I don’t know who will win, but whoever wins is to bless the winner.

“Kong! Kkong! Kleurreung!”

At that time, the beast guarding the village outside the village barked menacingly.

“Huh? What is it?”
“Is the war over already?”
“Whoever wins will be in the thousands, will he only show up on the other side?”

The presence of a stranger who came suddenly.

As people looked at each other’s faces and wondered what to do, the young man who was the representative on his way to meet Lillian stood up.

“If there’s any trouble, it must have already been. I’ll go check it out. Let’s go.”

The young man must have been the leader of the group, and he led a group of men of the same age as himself and headed to the place where they heard the sound.

There were dozens of men and women in shabby clothes surrounded by various beasts.

All of them were frightened and didn’t know what to do, so they looked around incessantly to find someone they could talk to.

“Who are you?”
“Ah! Are you controlling these beasts!?”
“It’s not me… Um… The story gets a little complicated… First of all, who are you?”

The man who was the representative asked about the identity of the man and woman.

“Well, we came after hearing news of an organization called the Liberation Army.”
“The Liberation Army? It’s too late, even if the information is late. The people who fled from this place should have told you that they should never come.”
“Yes? What is that…?”

The man explained what kind of organization the Liberation Army was to those who seemed to be refugees.

“Uh…Then…?”
“Well, you are lucky. Lillian, the princess of Lucy Arkenel Kingdom, made a contract with the divine tree and succeeded in expelling the alien species that persecuted us.”
“Yes?”

Rather than learning the identity of the Liberation Army, they were more embarrassed by the fact that Lillian made a pact with the Divine Tree to expel the species.

But the man couldn’t catch their strange reaction.

Instead, they explained the legend of how the divine tree made a contract with the first king, and boasted that they were also lucky enough to actually see the legend.

“Others have been under the rule of the Cameld Kingdom for a long time, so it doesn’t matter who wins. But I have a feeling. The princess is the one who will rebuild the Kingdom of Lucy Arkenel.”
“That’s right…”
“Ah, you talked too much. Everyone must have been tired, so rest inside. If the princess comes back victorious, we’ll have a party.”

Originally, it was necessary to check whether they had a weapon or not, just in case, but they all had clothes and thick cloak pieces to block the cold.

In addition, if there was any problem, the beasts would solve it, and if there was a problem, the remaining foreign species would come forward.

The group that entered the village was able to take a rest in a corner seat after receiving a proper welcome.

As people’s interest fades, the faces that have been frightened so far change and check the surroundings with sharp eyes.

“Does it seem like things got messed up?”
“I thought it was all over while we were moving.”

They were dispatched from the headquarters of the Guardian Corps in the West Continent to punish Kang Myung-cheol.

“What would you like to do?”

All eyes were focused on one man.

Good and weak impression.

It seems that he was in an accident, even though the scars on his face where something was torn are clearly visible, and he was a man with a kind impression that was hard to imagine as a warrior.

“It will take a long time to go back to headquarters and investigate Princess Lillian.”
“Then?”
“If the schedule is off, we’ll investigate.”

The man’s words let everyone know what to do next.

“By the way, Princess Lillian. Missing, dead, there were many words, but I didn’t know that she would sharpen the blade of revenge. It’s a royal spirit.”

He smiled with satisfaction and admired Princess Lillian’s actions.

“If we go back to headquarters, I’ll have to ask for Princess Lillian’s support. Just by existing, we can’t miss the opportunity to destroy the nation of disgusting alien species.”

The man thought he had to save the opportunity to help Lillian and destroy the Cameld Kingdom.

However, at his words, a woman’s face contorted in displeasure.

He himself is also a heterogeneous person, and he is dissatisfied with the qualifier ‘disgusting’.

She was Jin Soo-ah, dressed up to look like a human in this world.

“Ah, Rentel.”
“Yes, chief.”
“You should move with Jin Soo-ah. Since we don’t know the situation in the West Continent, we might make mistakes.”
“All right.”

Jin-soo-ah’s face was even more crumpled by the actions of a man who did not know the situation of the west continent and ignored the guardians from the east continent and attached people only to himself.

– Sua. I understand your dissatisfaction, but here I am.-
-The other side is provoking you. You can’t get over it.-

Her companions from the same continent persuaded her to hold back her wrath.

The East Continent is generally stable, and those who follow the system are accepted as members of the Empire.

Even in the Guardian Corps, this species is appointed, but the West Continent has a strong hostility towards this species, so no matter how hard they try, they cannot escape from the lower ranks.

In the western part of the western continent, where the hostility is stronger, it is natural to kill them if they want to be of a different species.

Since Lee Jong came to the West Continent to support, the men and other guardians showed open vigilance against Jin Soo-ah.

– Whoa… Know. If you get angry here, you’ll get over it. But someday I will definitely repay this light.-

Jin Su-ah moved with her watcher to gather information about her as she remembered the man who was playing tricks on her.

“By the way, Captain.”
“What?”
“What if heterogeneous species are mixed here?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”

The man answered the remaining subordinate’s question as if he was dumbfounded.

As if it were natural, he smiled a cruel smile that made the impression of goodness completely disappear.

“Even if 100 innocent victims are made, killing one alien species is more important.”
