Chapter 670 - Battle in Pamire Mountains 2 (1/2)

The Pamire Mountains to the northwest of Symphonia Kingdom.

It was a path that had to be taken to enter the Symphonia Kingdom’s territory.

There was a path from where wagons could come in and go, but it wasn’t that wide. Also, it was a windy road, so it took a lot of time for one to travel on that path.

Moreover, the northwestern border was crowded with monsters, so there weren’t many traders, and thanks to that, the maintenance of the road was hardly done.

“Damn! This is difficult!”

Lenuk, who was leading the monster legion of 100,000 monsters under Arsene’s orders, burst into anger.

It was because it took a lot more time than what he expected to move on that narrow land with blowing winds.

Above all, the problem was that their procession was as long as a thin thread.

As the brainwashing magic only worked in a certain range, it was common for those outside the range to go crazy.

In the western wasteland, Lenuk and around 100 warlocks were enough to control them, but marching on the road ended up being a whole new challenge for them.

As a result, Lenuk was forced to ask Arsene for additional help.

Fortunately, he did send in reinforcements, but in the process of their arrival, the march got delayed.

And that meant giving some time for the Symphonia army to prepare.

He was worried about what would happen if the enemy brought in a huge army, but fortunately, the spies didn’t see such a thing.

Obviously, if there was any movement, the spies would have reported it right away.

“It means that the pirates are doing a very great job? Margareta, that one seems to be doing a good job.”

Although she seemed like a pathetic girl who was working for her own ambition, she went away on one word from his ancestor and did a very great task.

She was able to move the naval nation like a puppet in her hand without much effort.

‘But things are going to be difficult because now that bitch’s merit would increase…’

The new era, which was supposed to come, should only be enjoyed by people from the Veritas Magic Tower.

He thought that a woman shouldn’t be given such a position, especially for a woman who dressed like she was in heat all the time.

It was when Lenuk was in his thoughts, the advancements of the monsters stopped.

‘What is it?’

He immediately connected to the other warlocks in the lead through magic communication.

“Why did you stop? Is the road broken or something?”

-The road is blocked by something like a landslide… We are trying to clean it up.

“Ah, hurry up! It will be hard for us if we get delayed any further!”

Perhaps, as the road wasn’t maintained, there could be cases where the mountain collapsed on the road and ended up blocking the path.

Every time such things happened, they couldn’t help but waste time, but Lenuk was annoyed because the monsters that had to be used to kill the enemy were being used for such tasks.

Kung!

Somewhere, it felt like a noise of something hitting the ground could be heard, and soon afterward, he heard the screams of the monsters.

“What? Did something happen again?”

Lenuk looked to the distance where dust was rising and called the man who was ahead.

In the crystal ball, his subordinate warlocks that were covered in dust appeared.

“What happened?”

-That, the stones and rocks on the side of the hills suddenly fell.

Hundreds of monsters, including trolls and ogres, were crushed beneath the rocks.

-Someone deliberately did this. I can smell gunpowder…

Kuak!

An arrow from somewhere came in and hit the neck of the warlock who was reporting.

“N-no!”

Shocked, Lenuk hurriedly called the other subordinate through magic communication, but the call didn’t connect at all.

“No way, this can’t be an enemy ambush, right?”

When looking at the point from where the arrow flew in, he thought that whoever it was had to be good at mountain climbing and an elite.

‘There can’t be a lot of them. Their number might not exceed a thousand. But if they are elites, then they might be able to inflict huge damage,’ Lenuk thought while being drenched in sweat.

Even if the monsters were 100,000 in number, if they were attacked in the rear, they would suffer great damage.

Most of all, if the warlocks died, the monsters who were under their control would run lose and inflict more damage to the other monsters.
