Chapter 5 : Zhuge Liang's Strategy
This chapter was brought to you by AnmesicCat, Fei, Grisia, Lastear, and Lei Special thanks to Geoain marched with the alliance tribes to the Embinyu Church's fortress To ensure swift mobility, he didn't make any trebuchets
”Waahh”
”That fortress is too strong We won't be able to win”
Widespread pessi the alliance tribes! The number of alliance tribesmen had decreased by about 140 people They were simple-minded people, who didn't lose hope easily, but it was an inevitable result, since they had been defeated after suffering one-sidedly and dealing ale
Weed didn't try to boost their e the alliance tribes , it's hard to take them down and capture the fortress”
He deliberately didn't bring Bingryong, the Phoenixes, and Yellowy He intended for theet plenty of rest in order to maximize their power
The spearheads of the Salmere Tribe drooped doards The decline in morale made their shoulders slump
Nevertheless, as Weed and the alliance tribes approached the fortress, there was a response Eventhe attack was rising from the spire
Weed's eyes flashed 'The Ees under their command'
After the initial recon skirht survey
”The savages in this area under the Embinyu Church's command are very weak”
The other tribes near the River of Lamentation were much weaker than the tribes allied with the Matallost Church, the Lekiye, Salue
”If we kill 10 and 5 of us die, there'll be a profit of roughly 27 troops”
A ridiculously absurd calculation!
As se tribes flocked in They were armed with bamboo spears, axes, and crude arrows
Weed pointed not at the fortress, but at the newly appeared savage tribes as he instructed, ”Minions of the Embinyu Church Kill them”
Weed ue Tribe, CHARGE!”
At first, the alliance tribes and the other savages both didn't show formation or tactical movements since they hadn't been trained
”UWAAAH!”
”LET'S KILL THEM ALL!”
The ue Tribe Warriors ran Each Warrior was a 100-man army!
”Salmere Tribe, it's your turn”
Weed ordered the Salmere Tribe into action As it was their characteristic, the Salmere Tribe scattered to find and hunt enemies They were top-notch Hunters who shot poison arrows and had abnorated spears!
The Lekiye Tribe took on the role of casting Confusion hexes on the savages They boes with AoE (Area of Effect) Confusion hexes and curses
”I feel dizzy The ground is shaking”
Though their surroundings were norered around in the middle of the battlefield
”My axe My axe is heavy”
They couldn't even lift their stone axes, which seemed to have become 2-3 times heavier
Such assistance froue and Sales, the alliance tribes specialties!
”Kill thele one behind”
The 10 thousand neighboring savages were one-sidedly cornered by the 6,000 or so alliance tribesetting stronger and stronger as their corew
To be honest, he had sorowth, but it wasn't too iro”
Since there were over 6,000 of the alliance tribes to kick them into shape noas too much!
If he couldn't erous battering rae warfare There's no need to fight a disadvantageous battle Even if the enerow ht in a favorable environed the rules of the battlefield and planned to overturn it with chaos
The tattooed, scarred, and hting for their survival
Struuhtly The harp's clear sound passed through the battlefield
<tbody>
Ah So in that darkness
Oh Oh Oh Oh!
This is bronze japtem
If it's rusted, let's clean it till it sparkles~
You can sell it at the store

You can't le one
Let's collect japteh to buy barley bread for a hundred years
Ah Ah Ah
Item!
A Unique item
So excited Let's dance Today really is the jackpot

As Weed's impromptu harp performance reached its peak, the battle between the alliance tribes and the savages was also progressing
The Lekiye, Vejague, and Sales Although Bingryong or the Phoenixes weren't there, the increased power froreat help
Ruuumble!
While the alliance tribes excitedly hunted the savages, a change arose in the E as it ruhts and Soldiers could be seen readying theht fros and protection imparted by divine power
<tbody>
We'll hunt in a place no one has found~
The lonely Hunter's path
Solitude is necessary for a rich harvest of japtem~
I don't hope for someone who understands
What I hope for is just money~

As he played the harp, Weed's hand moved more flashi+ly and quickly
It wasn't just because the Dark Knights and soldiers were about to sally forth
Groool!
More accurate than a luxury watch worth millions of Won, his belly watch told him the time
”It's finally tiazed at the battlefield as he played the harp
Like soldiers fro the ar either a fan or an instru the romanticized appearance of command His actions reflected the naked reality of how films and novels devastated a person
Plunk plunk!
By the tiates were completely open, Lion's Roar was cast froht
Unlike the bad tune and song with horrible lyrics he'd been singing earlier, it was a roaring cry!
”ALLIANCE TRIBES, FLEE WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!”
The alliance tribes left the corpses of the savages in the field and backed off like a receding tide at the signal
Theforward as the gate opened—!
Tremendous Mana flooded the battlefield
A whirlpool and gale raged, as dark Mana driven by black ic pressed in
GRAAAAAWWR!
Horrible shrieks and screahosts
The area darkened and ept over by murky clouds
RUMBLE— CRA-CRA-CRA-CRA-CRAsh!+
Thunder and lightning exploded
Right in front of the Eround where the alliance tribes and the savages had been fighting was splitting apart Weed extended his two ar!”
He sincerely welcomed the first monster summoned by the Power of the Deliverer
”Co a robe slowly rose froround
The leader of the Iion The worst Necromancer, who had probed into forbidden domain; it was the appearance of Balkan Deiveness or mercy If the Embinyu Church didn't spare ation, then Balkan was an entirely different being
Subordinate to the power of darkness, he did not tolerate any living beings A fierce hatred for the living!
A frigid chill ehest rank, just his appearanceatreat storm
Weed carefully observed Balkan's appearance An old lich with rotting bones From his appearance, he didn't differ much frohtly taller and his jawbone looked thicker, but Weed, who had personally faced shi+re, could only distinguish tiny differences
”You can really say he's a truly rich Lich”
Lich Balkan wore high-class attire A bleak, black aura was flowing froood-quality material but shoddy because it looked like it had been used for over a hundred years, the robe would look as good as neith a little inally like that”
He wore a crown adorned with geele's skull attached to the staff he was holding The combination of crown and skull lance, he could tell they were Unique items Lich shi+re had also been equipped with incredible iteician families have a lot of money after all But”
There was one weapon in particular that drew Weed's gaze A sword penetrating Balkan's chest! It was the only place the black aura could not cover
Weed speculated, ”Looks like the sas stabbed in during the Versailles Continent war” Based on the design on the sword hilt, he guessed it was the relic of the Church of Lu
It see Balkan's treic Balkan was in the state of an inco a reject?”
While Weed orrying a little, the alliance tribes were overco with their tails turned
Hidden behind the rocky mountain, Weed scrutinized the battlefield The alliance tribes had now fully retreated
Balkan's gaze turned towards the nearby savages, ”Wor blood and breath, I cannot believe it”
Balkan did not ask who they were With an extreant es around him
”Thunder Storm!”
CRA-CRA-CRA-CRA-CRAAsh!+
Black clouds rushed in, and countless bolts of lightning plues, ere once living beings, sies were being round on which you once lived and moved This place is dark A bad and rotten land The law of darkness that will never disappear, let it be so they can all return UNDEAD RISE!”
Balkan's chilling Necrohts clattered as they rose froe corpses The Lich Balkan had suhts over level 300!
”This land is ruled by my law of darkness It will be doth Dark Rule!”
The skull wand Balkan had been holding was stabbed into the ground The earth turned dark red around that area Then, the re corpses also slowly rose
Each flash of thunder and lightning lit up a shocking scene
There was a legion of zohouls Countless Dullahans and Skeleton Soldiers!
”The Undead are rising Run away!”
The few rees scattered and tried to flee, but Balkan did not peres
Then the Undead ares automatically rose as Skeletons or Dullahans
The horrifying strength of the Dark Rule spell
Weed, who had the Necronized the spell, ”That's one of Balkan's three spells”
It was a spell that could only be used by a Necrohest tier, a special spell which doic power and raised unlies were cohts, and Ghouls Raising 10 thousand Undead did not even take 10enough to put Weed's worries about the holy sword piercing Balkan's chest to shame
”Balkan's aura It's probably Death Aura”
It was indeed a spell only a Necrohest tier could use It was a spell that strengthened the Undead Legion, iic Power Undead wrapt in the black aura becaht or an Archer They probably weren't up to par with the high-ranking, ion, but it was a tremendous force indeed
The black aura also had other truly terrifying points
It did have the effect of strengthening co was also absorbed by the Lich In addition, it weakened divine power attacks and was the ic that acted as the source of a Lich's unlies, Balkan's gaze turned towards the Eician Lich's gaze overfloith chariset scared and run, right?'
Though he was the leader of the Iion, Weed needed to confirht because there was no reason to do so, nothing could be done
'It's still an I hi He won't Yeah'
Balkan Dely er at the fortress
”Kua”
”KUUUEEEEEEL!”
The Undead rushed towards the fortress
A fearless advance of Skeletons, Dullahans, Death Knights, Spectres, and Doo, they tumultuously went forward
For the Undead, Balkan was a father-like figure As soon as Balkan gave the command, the Undead advanced towards the fortress
The Doon Balkan-nile stone of that fortress' foundation undestroyed!”
Balkan's great Necromantic army declared war on the Embinyu Church
CRAAAsh!+
The Skeleton Mages shook their gathered aric struck the fortress' wall!
The Skeleton Mages' ic didn't even have half the force of the trebuchets Weed had es was h to shake the wall Pieces of broken rocks rained down
There was finally a response from the Embinyu Church's fortress The Eant and tried to dominate all the races and hts did not tolerate anyone who challenged them
”The likes of the Undead dare to defile the Eht's command, the church's Soldiers loaded their bows The arroere fired from the walls and thickly covered the sky
They struck the Undead Legion covered in black aura!
The advancing Undead fell to the ground as they were pierced by arrows However, they weren't living soldiers so they didn't receive e from a normal arrow attack
”KUO!”
Skeleton Soldiers pulled out the arrows penetrating the Death Knights
It was a very eht
The skeletons bit the metal arrowheads with their yellow teeth
