Chapter 739 - Undead Wave 4 (1/2)

Chapter 739: Undead Wave 4

Northwest of Symphonia Kingdom.

Countless Undead were moving in from the border of Libiya Kingdom into the Pamire Mountains.

After defeating the invading monster army from Libiya the other day, Luke built dozens of outposts in the Pamire Mountains.

It was to understand or at least to get an idea of Arsene’s plans, such as a second wave of the monsters, and thanks to that, they were able to cope with the Undead invasion.

Duke Hans, who recognized the Undead invasion, immediately reported it to Luke through magic communication and issued an emergency troops mobilization in the Kingdom.

As many as 200,000 troops gathered at the Verange Castle, and Count Reynold and Count Reynard were the commanders.

“Damn it, why the sudden uproar?!”

“Right. It is an uproar even after knowing in advance.”

The two commanders were grumbling while looking ahead.

They were crossing the mountain range and couldn’t see a single undead.

However, they could look at the cries of the monsters and from time to time they could hear the animals running away, and they knew that the time wasn’t much far away.

“Viscount Kaper, what has His Majesty instructed?”

At Reynold’s question, Viscount Kaper, the commander of the Western Army, answered.

“Over the past few days, we have already mobilized the engineer units and the wizards. If all the commanders give out the orders, it can be activated right away.”

When dealing with the monster legion, Luke had planned quite an explosion.

All of the forest used for the explosion got burned out, and there was an open entrance to the mountain and a plain land.

Therefore, Luke had prepared another series of explosions to stop the advancing Undead, and Viscount Kaper mobilized all of the soldiers and wizards belonging to the Western Army to draw flame magic circles and began to bury flammable items in the ground.

“Any Undead would be vulnerable to fire. We can go a big enough blow to stop them.”

The only problem was the number of Undead which were entering.

According to the reports of the rangers who were monitoring the movements of the Undead, it was likely to be 5 million.

Not even a tenth of them would be burnt with the existing explosions.

“Brother, in the end, we have no choice but to solidify the defense, including the Verange Castle.”

“Yes, we need to hold the defense even if it means our death.”

Luke’s order was issued the day before.

That he would come up with a plan to stop the Undead in a short while, so he asked the Commanders to stop the Undead at any cost from entering the Kingdom till then.

So Reynold and Reynard were building up shields and strengthening defenses by combining the nearby forts around the Verange Castle.

However, it was impossible to build shields and barriers in such a large area within just a few days.

So the Commander brother built barriers only on the right and left line of defense. At an angle, so that the Undead were driven to the center.

They were thinking of driving the Undead into the middle of the region and stopping them.

“How is the construction of the wall going on?”

“Using the Gigants, we have completed a wall connecting the three forts on the left. However, the wall connecting the four forts on the right is…”

Reynold shook his head as Viscount Kaper was talking about the delay in the construction work.

“If the wall of mud is getting difficult, then put up a wooden barrier first. Something would be better than nothing.”

They couldn’t let the Undead spread to the left or the right.

If that happened, not even all of the Kingdom’s troops would be able to stop those Undead.

“Understood.”

As Viscount Kaper left to implement the order given, Reynold and his brother once again checked the defense plan.

On how many Gigants and troops had to be deployed from forts, and where the reserve troops would be placed on standby in case the barriers collapsed.

“Haaa, I never expected for a shortage of 200,000 troops to be there.”

“I know. 5 million… those guys from the Southern Continent were talking about a million undead troops.”

How huge the number was to have a million troops?

Assuming that one unit is joined in a day, it would take around 15 days for such a huge number to come.

But 5 million, five times of 1 million?!
