46 [1-46] Its a dark day today. (1/2)

Humans tend to think that night is the time of the undead and other monsters.

Many a knight has been glad that the army of the undead did not come during the night.

But when they saw the horrible army marching in the morning sun, they wondered which was better, to be seen or not to be seen.

Bodies moving in step. Skeletons in armor. Horsemen with their bellies ripped open. The first report of about four thousand was almost right. Tattered flags with fresh blood roses carved into them fluttered in the sky.

An unorthodox army was approaching in unbroken motion. A young knight who was watching this from the top of the city wall with a magic telescope panicked and jumped off the city wall to his death.

The main body of the undead army came from the east and formed a blockade on the eastern road. The main body of the undead army from the east set up a blockade on the eastern road, followed by a detachment that circled the capital and took up positions on all the western, southern and northern roads. At this rate, the coming knights of each lord would not be able to even enter the capital without first breaking through the hundreds of undead.

In addition, Rene had used magic to break up the cliffs along the eastern road.

Not many soldiers arrived at the capital during the night. The few knights and farmers who could be dispatched from neighboring territories barely made it. On the human side, the First and Second Order of Knights under the direct control of the royal family was almost the only fighting force.

The royal knights, who were made up of experts in combat, were far superior to the lords, who were a mixture of farmers and soldiers, in terms of their individual abilities, but it could not be denied that they were a small force against the vast undead army of 4,000.

In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to use it to pay for a lot of things. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for before you make a decision. ...... Some of those who didn't flee may have simply been too late to make a decision and were surrounded and couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

The gates of the city are tightly closed, and the city walls and all, with geometrical lines of blue magic light running through them. The city walls of the capital are equipped with a defense mechanism against magical attacks.

Magic items that are fueled by magic stones and the magic power of the land are defended by ......, or magic structures. The attacker will need a lot of magic power to break through this defense.

There are no living people outside the walls.

Just farmland buried in snow.

No beasts or birds are in sight now, probably having fled from the evil atmosphere that fills the air.

The change occurred as soon as the army was in position.

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but it's a good thing.

Combined alchemical magic (Assembled Spell)...... <

The sky has darkened.

The sky darkened. A dark(er) blue(er) sky without a cloud. The sky darkens as if it were in the middle of a storm.

And then a scream went up from the city.

A huge translucent apparition appeared in the sky.

It was the skeleton of a girl in a dress, and it looked down at the people with its huge body piercing the sky.

It spoke in a voice that sounded like an echoing thunderclap.

The sound of an innocent girl's voice could be heard with a frightening echo.

”People of King's Landing. And the disloyal knights who serve the false king. Listen to me.

I am Elbert the Wise, blood of Elk Ciel-Teira, rightful king of Ciel-Teira. Rene ”Rosy” Luvia Ciel-Teira.

King Elbert. Her queen Rosalia. And I have risen from the dead to bring you to justice for your crimes in killing me.

Celebrate my resurrection and bow down to my majesty. And afterward, atone for your sins with blood.

Many people shrank back tightly and said their prayers.

They were not asking for Rene's forgiveness, but for God's help.

As if to ridicule the dismay of the people, the giant apparition continued to speak.

But I am going to give you a chance to repent.

Pull the false king down from his bloody throne and guillotine his followers.

Then I'll forgive you graciously.

You don't have much time left. Don't expect me to wait forever.

So the voice ceased, the vision disappeared, and the sky regained its original brightness.

But in the ears of the people, the voice still echoed.

”That's it.

”That's it. We'll wait for about an hour, then we'll start the attack. That should give us just enough time to recover our magic.
