”The day after Drouet's invasion, Rene returned to King's Landing.

”What?　”What? Drouette the Decisive?

I'm sure the adventurer's guild has issued a notice that the city is off limits for now. ...... But he's not the type to worry about that.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

The main adventurers in the country were salvaged from her memories while she was possessed by Iris.

The second-largest party in the country, the Drouettes. It's the kind of party that the aristocrats of the Holy Kingdom run for fun.

The leader, Erminio, is an unpredictable adventurer whose behavior is unpredictable and unpredictable. He has not been expelled because he has not committed any crimes, but he has been warned by the Adventurer's Guild three times. It would not be surprising if he had ignored the guild's notice and ridden into the capital.

Looking at the top of the city walls, I see the Red Rose's flag burning down. They're all dead.

That was a mistake. I should have at least left enough undead here to use the city walls.

The only undead left in King's Landing were the elite few that could be sustained by Rich's magic, as he wanted to spare Renai's magic for now. The rest were stored in the castle in material form.

Sorry about that. ≪The undead that were destroyed with the Consecration are in a state that cannot be repaired.

”You have nothing to apologize for, Alastor. If you got the condemned back, that's good enough for me. Well, maybe I'm not here to help.

I'd rather you count my loot. ...... <>.

When Rene used his magic, a large number of corpses appeared out of thin air like a magic trick, forming a mountain in the square in front of the castle gate.

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I'm sure the punishment for Count Gaylor has been completed successfully.

Alastor nodded reverently.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

Count Gaylor was one of the men who fell to Hilbert during the coup d'etat.

The spoils of war were these corpses.

Storage magic is able to store and transport large amounts of items in subspace that would normally be impossible to carry around. You can't put in large creatures (even an ant is out depending on its size), but it doesn't matter for corpses. As you can see, the high-level ”Inventory” can easily carry a hundred corpses.

However, while you are using it, your magic power will be eaten up. Although he has enough magic power (MP), the output of his magic is reduced while using the Inventory, and the cursed red blade of the Dullahan form, which is Rene's greatest weapon, turns into a slug.

In addition, if he had to maintain a large number of undead, he would not be able to even fly back home, so he did not leave many undead in the capital.

I brought back this much undead, but if I subtract the amount of undead destroyed by Drouet, it's not worth it. And what we lose in quality, we make up for in numbers. ......

I'm sure you could have won with less damage if I had been there. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

”It's not up to you. You'll end up in trouble with the princess. ......

You can't help it.

...... But we still need to think of drastic measures.

Rene ponders.

You'll be able to get a lot more than that. It's a good idea. Information gathering. Procuring supplies. ......

There's so much to do, but I'll never be able to do it all by myself.

If Rene alone could destroy the country and the world, that would be fine, but I know firsthand that the ingenuity, technology, and unity of the human race cannot be underestimated. In order to compete with them, Rene also needs to lead a certain force.

At the moment, the Noahcurio army that has appeared in the eastern part of Ciel-Teira is the one that concerns him the most.

Hilbert had requested reinforcements from Noachurio before the fall of King's Landing. They had defeated the advance airborne cavalry in the battle of King's Landing, but the main ground troops had also managed to enter the country a few days later.

Using Hilbert's request as a banner, he wanted to keep the army under his control under the guise of protecting the citizens.

And it would be difficult for Rene to go head-to-head with the Noa Curio army. In the event that you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

--I'll need my friends.

Rene thinks again about what he thought before.

I need a strategy.

I need arms and legs to help me.

It was greedy, but she couldn't help but wish that Alastor from the Revenant era was here.

As for the battle against King's Landing, Rene had only given a plan and a direction. It was Alastor who worked out the details of the strategy and created a flexible chart branching according to the situation.

Alastor, who was turned into a ghoul after the incident, still has most of the knowledge he had before his death, but he has lost most of his memory of the events ......, or in other words, the ”implications” of his accumulated experience.

Udanosuke has inherited the skillful swordsmanship that he honed in actual combat, but it seems that the only exceptions are the memories that are more directly related to combat skills. Even skeletons with no brains inherit the skills they had before they were born, so it seems that they are remembering something different from their bodies.

The ghoul-transformed Alastor is still capable, as he has a good head on his shoulders and enough knowledge to be an official, but the Alastor who was a brilliant commander and military strategist is gone.

He may be able to advise René on what to do, but he will not be able to give accurate advice as a political strategist.

Anyway, the attack on the Marquess of Edfelt will go ahead as planned.

As a tentative measure to secure human resources, if there are any who look good enough, I'll turn them into ghouls and bring them here. We'll also need to replenish our forces. I'll try to get as many knights as I can.

I wonder if there's a talented courtier somewhere who was involved in national strategy. If I could get to the Revenant, even for a few days, I could get some useful advice.

”I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but the old me would have been able to give you some ideas. ......

It's nothing to apologize for.

You need to think about ...... your power ups as well. It's a hard strategy. ......

Rene paused to consider the situation.

The thought of abandoning everything, hiding in the darkness, and entering a period of training where he could only reinforce himself by eating souls crossed his mind. This is a strategy to raise your level thoroughly and then start laying waste.

But that would be a last resort. If you take too long, the person you want to avenge will die peacefully on your bed.

In order to prevent that from happening, I thought I would fight while I could.

The next day.

The next day, a paper rain fell on Teirakainen, the capital of the Marquisate of Edfelt.

The zombie pterodactyls flying in the sky scattered the paper, which was signed by René, saying that he would spare the lives of the people in the city if they gave up their lord.

The letter was accompanied by a pictogram and a free-style illustration of Rene's handiwork for citizens who could not read.
