Death Guns In Another World

Initially, they dispatched their troops to the border to put up a strong stance and disregarded their army entirely. The day before Erik launched his attack, Kingsley's Kingdom was still focusing its attention on dealing with its Prime minister and winning the trust of its people. This gave Erik the chance to overwhelm the borders and invade all the way through. Not only that, but they had also accomplished their mission earlier than expected. However, due to the resistance from the Renner Kingdom, Erik couldn't advance further.

If the Kingsley's Kingdom was a wine bottle while the Dali's Kingdom attack was like forcing water into the wine bottle opening, then the Renner Kingdom would be the cork. Logically speaking, the water would gush into the wine bottle in the shortest time possible as soon as the cork was removed. But, if they were to find an opening in the bottleneck and pour water through, no one knew how much time it would take to fill the wine bottle.

Of course, another way was to break the bottleneck and pour all the water in. But, this way, the Dali Kingdom would inevitably enrage the Holy empire considered also as the giant behemoth of Law, overseeing everything silently before moving if the valuable reason was given, they wouldn't want such a superpower to be enraged which would be extremely dangerous.

"What does His Majesty think about it?"

Kade shook his head and said.

"His Majesty didn't have any views on this. This is an issue that we, four legendary generals, should resolve."

Gretel let out a crisp chuckle. However, Kade didn't take it to heart as he knew that Gretel was just an annoying troublemaker. Back then, this raid plan had been approved by the Dark Dragon. Now that the progress wasn't going well, the Dark Dragon would pay attention to it. However, Kade had to admit that Gretel was right. This was a problem between the four legendary generals. If they couldn't even handle such a problem, wouldn't the tempted clowns who were eyeing their positions from below be jumping for joy?

"We should retreat and reevaluate the situation."

He ignored Gretel's words and suggested his own.

"General Erik's army have reached their target and we can act according to plan. No matter what, His Majesty's prestige can protect our troops. Judging from the reactions of the Prime minister, their holy guardian, perhaps she can't do anything to resist His Majesty. The guardian's protection naturally has its inertia, but the holy guardian's current status is not enough for her to recover lost ground. I suggest that we go steady and strike hard. Consolidate our battle lines first before launching another attack."

Kade gazed at the figure at the side.

"Silent Field isn't a good choice for us. If it is possible, hand it over to others to defend."

"Oh."

Erik responded, but no one knew if he had agreed to this suggestion.

"But this isn't our focus, General Erik."

At this moment, the flirtatious voice let out some crisp chuckles as it spoke.

"Indeed. We recognize the strength of the Renner Kingdom. But this time, they performed so well against our raids. Shouldn't we consider the possibility of internal personnel leaking our information? This is a serious problem. According to our intelligence report, no matter which territories are on Renner Kingdom's battle lines, they are more or less prepared against our raids. General Kade should be clearer on this than me. If we can't resolve this problem, how should we go about discussing about others?"

Kade sulked slightly.

Indeed. This was their biggest problem to a certain extent.

The meeting continued until later in the night.

After it ended, Kade was left alone. He couldn't help but say this.

''I'm sure it's him. This place will be your grave Alexander.'' He squeezed through his teeth, belly full of hatred, he almost died last time, sacrificing a lot of his strength and pleading with his lord afterward, just by recalling this Kade's eyes became vicious. Well, he would have his revenge. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

°°°°°

Alex let out a long sigh and tossed the letter on the table.

Then, he lifted his head and looked at everyone before him.

It had been two days since the end of the battle. After annihilating the 'Sinister Death' and driving off the Undead Army, it appeared that there would be peaceful days for the time being. However, he kept his guard on. He quickly engaged in an inquest on Lars and received first-hand intelligence on the Undead Army.

Lars was thoroughly pitiful. Even though he couldn't create a phylactery like the Liches to live for eternity, he also had some backup plans as a Necromancer. In a place full of mutual deception like the Dali Kingdom, no one knew when they would die. Therefore, as the patriarch of the family, it would be too pathetic if he didn't have any means to 'restart' his life.

Unfortunately, his opponent was Alex and with his strength and Silveria's help, he was able to catch the other party's most prized possession, his soul core.

Soul Cores for Necromancers were as though the phylacteries for Liches: the source of their presence.

Necromancers and Liches were different. The latter used magical powers to engage in life-and-death transformations to turn themselves into Undead Creatures. However, Necromancers were mainly Undead Creatures with spellcasting talents. From this aspect, their Soul Cores were more important than the phylacteries, which could also be treated as the Necromancer's CPU. Whoever grasped it could grasp its presence. Therefore, as long as the Soul Core was in Alex's hands, Lars wouldn't be able to hide any secrets and couldn't even lie even if he wanted to.

Although Lars had limited knowledge as the patriarch of an intermediate family, Alex managed to uncover a lot of useful information.

The Undead Army came in strong this time, led by 'Dark Angel' Erik and General Garcia under General Kade. The latter was responsible for the development of the Renner Kingdom, while the former was in charge of the battle lines in the Kingsley's Kingdom.
