Chapter 737 - Undead Wave 2 (1/2)

Less than an hour after Vladimir’s request, the heads of the six nations gathered at the Old Libiya Imperial Palace where Luke was staying.

Everyone was stiff as they were already informed of what was happening around.

No, the heads of the nations, who shared borders with Libiya Kingdom, were more nervous.

And among them was Luke.

“As we don’t have much time on our hands, I will go straight to the point. I think it is important for us to know the actual number of the Undead.”

Starting with Vladimir, the heads of each nation reported what they were relayed from their nations.

“I received a report just before I came here, and it seems like there is more than 3 million Undead who are invading the western border of Volga.”

“Ugh, our Navarre Duchy is having around 1 million of them.”

“According to the reports given by our Castia Army, which is in the western army, the number of Undead entering Baroque is estimated to be around 2 million.”

When King James II of Castia was done, everyone looked over to Luke.

It was because the Symphonia Kingdom was the nation that bordered the Libiya Kingdom but hadn’t spoken yet.

Luke being silent for a moment, opened his mouth with a heavy sigh.

“Currently, there is at least 5 million Undead coming in from the Pamire Mountains of the Northwest.”

“5-5 million!”

King Charles of the Irea Kingdom jumped at the number.

There was a reason why a man who never showed any temperament was displaying all sorts of emotions.

If the Symphonia Kingdom got wiped out, the next target would be the neighboring nation, Irea Kingdom.

Reina, who had already heard the news from Luke, sighed.

She knew that the Veritas’s warlocks had already taken over the Libiya Kingdom, but she never thought that they would have such hate directed toward Luke.

‘Maybe we should be glad that they didn’t send all of their Undead toward Symphonia.’

Well, the total number of Undead that was reported was 11 million.

Everyone gulped at realizing the number.

“Uh! If that is the number, then doesn’t it mean that more than half of Libiya Kingdom has turned into Undead?”

“What the hell were the intelligence men even doing?! I don’t understand why they weren’t able to figure something out till this point!”

Before the war, the heads of each of the nation heard from Luke about remnants of the Veritas Magic Tower taking shelter in the Libiya Kingdom, helping them with the Undead.

To determine the authenticity of the information given and the changes in the Libiya Kingdom, they all sent their own intelligence officers into Libiya Kingdom.

However, they weren’t able to see any reports from there.

Then, the Baroque Empire’s attempt to weaponize Vers was known, and they all ran with their troops.

Meanwhile, the Libiya Kingdom did the most unexpected thing of supporting the Baroque Empire and even spread the zombie poison, and it confirmed that Libiya was indeed creating the Undead.

And once the division of the Baroque Empire’s land was done, it was their plan to invade the Libiya Kingdom right away, but they got attacked first.

“Who on earth would create 11 million undead?”

Luke answered Vladimir’s question, “It looks like something other than the normal process has been done.”

“What do you mean…?”

“It was expected, but I think that they developed a new zombie poison that can create tens of thousands of zombies at once, or a new zombie poison that could turn the infected people into Undead only when necessary.”

Luke decided that the former one was more likely.

According to the reports from the spies who infiltrated the Libiya Kingdom, there was a story about Shaikan or Arsene sending in priests to all places of the Libiya Kingdom to heal them or give them food.

‘They weren’t real priests.’

At that time, he thought that Arsene was trying to simply solidify the ruling and gain the public sentiment, but it seemed like he had planned something sinister.

“Anyway, we need to figure out a way to wipe out the undead right away.”

At Luke’s words, James II glanced at Reina and asked, “There is a way to clean them… like the last time. Why not bring them all to one place and destroy them or purify them?”

Reina, who helped the 2nd squad of the Continental Alliance, helped soldiers that turned into Undead.

However, Henry III of Navarre Duchy declined his request.

“I am well aware of Her Holiness and her power… Can she really wipe out 11 million undead?”

“There might be a lot more people who got infected before we even make a trap, and it will make the purifying more troublesome.”

“Before that, we also need to see which nation has to be saved first.”

At President Vladimir’s words, the eyes of each head changed. The first nation would be given the helping hand would be the least damaged one.

While everyone was silent, King Charles opened his mouth.

“Of course, I think that we need to deal with the Undead in the Symphonia Kingdom right away. Most of the Undead are over there.”

“Isn’t that because the Irea Kingdom is very close to Symphonia Kingdom? Among the Continental Alliance, the Navarre Duchy is the smallest and has the weakest military power. This means that our nation is in a state where we are already in fire!”

At Charles words, Henry jumped out.
