Chapter 742 - Fierce Defense 3 (1/2)

By the time the Symphonia Kingdom troops began to reinforce the barrier, the warlocks of the Veritas Magic Tower, who were controlling the Undead army from behind, began to panic.

It was because the Undead in the rear were attacking the other Undead. Maybe they lost control or something.

The Elder, Zemerton, who was ordered by Arsene to attack Symphonia, was puzzled.

“What is happening?!”

“W-we aren’t sure either, elder!”

The subordinate warlocks answered with confused faces.

“Don’t say that and find the bloody cause! The cause!”

The ones out of control were only around a thousand Undead, around 10,000.

Considering the military power of 5 million, it wasn’t something they had to be concerned about.

However, the crazy Undead seemed to be using explosive chemicals.

They were sprinkling gunpowder all over their bodies and rushed into groups of Undead after lighting themselves on fire. Just when they thought that the explosions were done, it started again.

And the wind direction wasn’t in favor of them, and the damage increased gradually.

“I think that it is immediate priority increase…”

“Ugh, fine. Go ahead and turn off those flames that are raging. And find out why the Undead are going crazy!”

At the words of Zemerton, the warlocks scattered in a hurry to figure out the situation.

However, there were a few people who were eyeing them like hawks.

“Crawling out at last, you Veritas rats!”

A series of warlocks who sprinkled blood all over their body and were escorted by knights were disguised as Undead.

They were warlocks of Johas and Black Tower.

Luke had organized them as special reinforcements and sent them into the battlefield.

Warlocks had unlimited knowledge about the Undead.

From the time they heard about the emergence of the large army of Undead, they were discussing with Luke about the countermeasures to be taken.

And their measures were to intervene and control the Undead.

They knew it was impossible to control the 5 million undead with just Johas and a few of his warlocks in the Black Tower.

So the goal of Johas’s party was to manipulate a few Undead with black magic and cause a small mess in the Undead troops and then remove the remnants of Veritas Magic Tower who were behind the attack.

“They are frustrated because of the constant fights. I don’t think there will be enough warlocks on their side to control 5 million Undead at will,” said Luke to Johas.

Johas too had agreed with his idea, and the magic used on the Undead was very simple. It was to move ahead and annihilate their enemies.

Just a few would have been enough.

However, the number of Undead kept on increasing, and it became at a level where one’s mind had to be used to take down the Undead.

There were too many gaps in the Undead under Veritas’s control, which made it easy for Johas and the Black tower warlocks, to take control.

“From now on, get rid of those Veritas rats. Do it as fast and secretly as possible.”

“Yes, Meister!”

Johas and his escorts began to hunt the Veritas warlocks.

“Kuak! Wh-who is it?”

“Someone else… Kuek!”

The Veritas warlocks, who tried to put out the fire on their Undead or to look at the crazy Undead in their troops, collapsed one after the other because of the covert attack of Johas and his party.

Dark Bullets went for their hearts, and if they blocked it with shield, the escorts knights would use their swords.

Since it was a surprise attack, the warlocks couldn’t defend themselves from both sides.
