Chapter 749 - Advanced Demon 3 (1/2)
The Symphonia Kingdom troops, who succeeded in purifying the large Undead army, didn’t have any time to rest.
“Get up! Wake up, all of you!”
“Hurry up already! You fools!”
Knights and soldiers, who were tired of the long and endless battles, fell asleep in the field itself. Officers and commanders approached them and waked them up.
“It hasn’t even been 30 minutes, why are we being woken up!?”
“Ah, what is this?! Didn’t they say they would give us a good rest after the operation?”
Dissatisfaction erupted from everywhere.
It wasn’t like the commanders wanted to do it either. They were given orders.
“This isn’t the time to sleep so leisurely! The operation isn’t over yet!”
“2nd and 3rd squad, control the people of Libiya, and 4th to 7th squad, gather shovels and axes!”
“Move fast, you slugs! Hasn’t Her Holiness relieved you of your fatigue!”
Their physical strain had been relieved, but the mental exhaustion was still there.
Most of the soldiers thought so, but the commanders didn’t care about it.
The priority was to take care of millions of Libiya people who returned from being an Undead.
“Where is this place? The Symphonia Kingdom?”
“C-can we go back home?”
“Has anyone seen our son? He has red hair and freckles near his nose!”
“I am very sorry for asking this, but is there anything to eat?”
“Can I have some water…”
Millions of people, who turned into refugees, had various demands.
The Gram brothers, who were commanding the soldiers, frowned at the sight.
“Bloody this! This is the beginning of another war!”
“Just when I thought it was over, it stats again!”
The most despicable, Shaikan.
An evil man who turned his own people into zombies.
This was the kind of craziness that wouldn’t end even with death.
Not just the Symphonia army, but even the Libiya people, who heard of the situation, criticized their king.
But, the situation wasn’t due to Shaikan, but Arsene, who took over Shaikan’s body.
However, it was hard for ordinary soldiers and people to know about it.
While everyone was moving around busily, Luke was taking in the reports and issued appropriate actions and orders.
“Your Majesty, they are asking for water!”
“Ask the military wizards to dig wells.”
“We don’t have enough food and firewood.”
“For food, bring in whatever is left in the nearby forts and pick a few refugees to harvest grains or fruits from the fields. And let the Gigant riders go to a nearby forest to collect the firewood.”
For more efficient management, it was ordered to have administrative soldiers to investigate the status of the refugees and engineers to set up temporary camps.
When people saw the Symphonia troops run around sweating, the refugees made a longing expression.
“There were words that Symphonia’s king, Luke, was great, and it wasn’t just empty words.”
“Our king always called for war and turned people into the Undead.”
“Should we go to Symphonia?”
“What was that? Soon, Libiya will be conquered by Symphonia too.”
Whatever the refugees reacted, Luke devoted himself to helping the people.
Of course, he didn’t intend to stick to the process for long.
Since the Undead army wasn’t completely cleaned up, he was thinking of going over to save his allies once this mess was taken care of.
-Your Majesty, a large fleet of reinforcements and supplies from the Southern Continent will arrive soon.
“That so? Thank God.”
Luke sighed at the message sent by Prime Minister Hans.
According to Hans, the Song Empire sent 100,000 troops, and Yemaek sent 50,000 troops to aid the war.
Both nations sent reinforcements and military supplies even though they themselves hadn’t settled down since their last war, all because of the strong relationship they shared with Luke.
Also, it was because of the high possibility of Luke reigning as the emperor of the Rhodesia Continent in the future.
-On the other hand, it was said that young talented ones were sent on their expeditionary troops. And they asked for your permission to let them study at the Royal Academy or any other academy.
