Chapter 740 - Fierce Defense 1 (2/2)

“The 2 million undead who have entered the Baroque are being blocked by the Holy Empire and allied forces of Castia Kingdom at the Noirban forest.”

“Noirban forest… the Baroque has turned into an Undead hunting ground.”

The Noirban forest was a large forest which was counted as one of the Empire’s lands.

In addition, it was the hunting ground for the Imperial family only, the logging of trees was prohibited.

The dense trees and vines all over the forest was an excellent barrier.

“We can use the chemicals…”

“Don’t you want to use chemicals, Your Majesty?”

Asked Hans, seeing a bitter expression in Luke’s tone.

“The ones who have turned into Undead, not a single one in them have volunteered to turn into an Undead.”

“That is true.”

The Undead got destroyed when burnt.

No matter how outstanding Reina’s divine power was, she didn’t have the talent to revive the dead from ashes.

The opportunity to purify and turn them back to humans will disappear forever.

“But in reality, it is difficult without using the chemicals.”

“Yes, if it helps in preventing more damage, we shouldn’t back out.”

For that reason, the Symphonia troops in the Verange Castle too were preparing to use chemicals.

Of course, their reasoning was to stop and not annihilate.

It was practically impossible to produce large scale chemical engineering.

‘Anyway, we need to hurry up with the finishing of the super large magic circle.’

That was the only thing in Luke’s mind.

A messenger rushed towards Luke to report.

“Majesty! The one enemy Undead unit is said to have crossed into the Pamire mountains!”

“Already!?”

He thought that it would take some time as the mountain was steep, but the Undead moved faster.

Due to the nature of the Undead, he knew that they would advance without even taking a single break.

However, he never thought that they would pass the roads and traps placed.

“According to the scouts, the undead were used to fill the gap and then passed.”

“I am tired from just hearing the words.”

Luke could imagine what happened from the report given by the messenger.

‘Well, there will be a battle soon enough. We might not have been extremely prepared, but I hope they do their best and endure it.’

Looking down at the map, Luke prayed for the allies who were in the Verange castle.

He had no intention of just standing there and praying for them.

Once the construction of the magic circles was done to a satisfiable extent, he was thinking of running to Verange Castle.
