“Your imperial majesty, shall we advance now?” Ursula called towards Lich Oz.
“Indeed… Let’s go now, give summoners the instructions as I’ve said before,” Replied Lich Oz.
After reading the military reports of the demonic attacks, all of the reports mentioned that in every demonic attack, there is always a demon acting as the general, standing behind while the demons marched towards the undead kingdom. And when the demons failed, he will leave and go back to the south.
Capturing the so-called general is one of the options, but there is a risk that he might didn’t have the ability to communicate. And even if there are several spells that could read the opponent’s memory, most of the demonic beasts are abnormally crazy and didn’t have any brain inside of their body, making the memory reading gives no result because of it.
So Lich Oz used the suggestion of the army’s general. He’s the general with the lowest rank amongst the other generals. Lich Oz realized that the reason why he’s at the lowest rank is because of his low ability to fight head-on, unlike other generals.
He’s a spellcaster ghoul, he has no ability to wield a weapon so he could only use magic, but magic and being a ghoul contradict each other, making his progress in magic to be hindered. But still, despite all of the obstacles, he managed to reach the [Count] rank with his own ability which is praiseworthy. And he is able to become one of the royal generals because of his high intellect
His suggestion is to send the summoned skeleton pawn army summoned by the summoners advance and follow the demonic general. with 2,000 summoners, each of them summoned 50 pawn soldiers which is the lowest type of summoned undead that they could summon. All they need is to chase the demonic general, while they summoned a bird-type summoned creature that they could use to scout from above.
Even if they’re considered the lowest rank summoners amongst the royal army, the weakest of them are at least at the [Baron] rank, they could summon and control two summoned creatures that have the same rank as them, they could control 500 pawn soldiers as they want, and could summon unlimited pawn soldiers as long as they have the mana.
The army marched and followed the pawn soldiers slowly from behind while the summoners keep track of where the demonic general and the army of summoned pawn soldiers are.
The pawn soldiers are consist of low-leveled skeleton cavalries, skeleton soldiers, skeleton archers, ghouls, and zombies. They followed the single order of [Kill the demonic general] and continue to follow the demonic general. As long as the summoned could see where the demonic general is through their flying summoned creature, their pawn soldiers will also able to locate where the demonic general is and could continue to pursue him.
Lich Oz could actually sense where the demonic general is, and the location of the presence that the demonic general is going to report to. But he’s going forward with the general’s plan to observe the military plans of the undead kingdom too.
As all of them are undead, there are no problems or obstacles that usually occur at living armies such as fatigue and ration problems. But they still bring ration as it boosts the undead army’s morale since all of them could now taste foods and had grown fond of eating.
(But I hope none of them will grow fond of eating humans or other races…) (Lich Oz)
One of Lich Oz’s greatest concerns is for the undead of the undead kingdom to taste humans or other races and got fond of their taste, making them transform into mass murderers and leading to other big problems.
But according to Gareth, the taste of humans or other races is considered to be not delicious since they are not cooked. And because of the skilled chefs appearing across the kingdom, they are appealed more to chocolate fondue and pudding rather than a human. And it’s true since Lich Oz could see some people playing chess while eating pudding and drinking coffee.
(It’s lucky that we’ve able to spread the taste of earth’s foods before the undead have a taste of a human) (Lich Oz)
“Now, let’s see these mysterious creatures of the south…” (Lich Oz)
“We’ve found the demon, my liege,” Reported the leader of the summoners towards the ghoul general.
“Your imperial majesty,” (Ghoul General)
“It’s on your call, general. I’ll only be an observer today,” Replied Lich Oz.
“Y-Yes, your imperial majesty,” Answered the ghoul general as he kneels. He knew about Lich Oz and who he is, and he even holds a great amount of respect towards him as he could be considered as the savior of the undead race. But he’s scared of the one standing behind him.
Ursula.
He had heard all of the information about Ursula, and now that he met her face to face, the sheer pressure alone made him felt like his head crushed. Her presence alone made him want to kneel and beg for forgiveness, he remembered all of the reports about the strength and brutality of the Queen of Arachne, Ursula.
“Rise, continue,” (Lich Oz)
(I need to show to the imperial majesty my capabilities!) (Ghoul General)
The ghoul general firmed himself as he bows once towards Lich Oz and stands tall as a general. He held his staff tightly as he asked the leader of the summoners.
“What did you see?” Asked the ghoul general.
“The demonic general we chased is reporting to a huge demon. The size of the huge demon is ten times of the demonic general, approximately 30 meters. There are countless demons surrounding him, they’re similar to the demons that attacked the kingdom, general, but…” reported the leader of the summoners.
“But?” Asked the demonic general.
“But we should be able to see the huge demon from here because of its height, but why can’t we see anything from here?” (Leader of Summoners)
“Indeed… I’m questioning it too…” Replied the ghoul general. He readies his staff and chants a spell to his staff’s orb. The black orb of the staff starts to emit a shining white light that the other undead found uncomfortable with.
“I hope you’ll show me the truth, [Orb Of Light]” (Ghoul General)
The Ghoul General’s staff suddenly shoots a small orb of light. The orb of light quickly flew towards the direction of where the huge demon mentioned by the leader of the summoners was supposed to be. After flying for about 200 meters, it suddenly explodes as if it hits a wall.
“A barrier?” (Ghoul General)
The invisible barrier scattered because of the orb of light, revealing a huge demon sitting in the middle of the forest. The huge demon stared right into the ghoul general’s eyes, sending him chills.
“I see… A high-ranked illusion barrier, huh…” (Ghoul General)
“But why didn’t any of us, the summoners sense the barrier?” Asked the leader of the summoners.
“Since it’s an illusion barrier, there must be no sensation of hitting a barrier since the mana barrier only distort the image of the inside of the barrier without any use of guarding it against an attack from outside,” (Ghoul General)
“The reason why my orb of light explodes when it hits is that the element of light and the demonic element contradict each other. The orb of light that absorbs the demonic illusion barrier mana explodes when it reached the mana of light couldn’t bear the demonic element any longer,” (Ghoul General)
“Good analysis,” Praised Lich Oz.
“T-Thanks for the praise, your imperial majesty. It’s still nowhere near your level, your imperial. majesty,” Answered the Ghoul General.
“Now, what will you do, General?” Asked Lich Oz towards the Ghoul General.
“…I have a plan,” (Ghoul General)
**************************
ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The huge demon roared, sending powerful winds in the direction of his roar.
In average person’s ears, it’s just a terrifying roar of a huge demon. But for the other demons that served the huge demons.
It means war!
The countless demons surrounding the huge demon rush towards the direction where Lich Oz and the undead army standing. But when the demonic army traveled for just 50 meters, the countless demonic creatures got greeted by countless undead pawn soldiers.
The 2,000 summoners keep on summoning pawn soldiers and send them to battle with the approaching demons. The opposition’s number is about 200,000 with various battle prowess.
Staring at the battle unfold, Lich Oz let out a small satisfied laugh.
“Now, it seems that there is no need for me to join the fight,” (Lich Oz)
