Kapitel 597: The Border Intrigue

— Ottoman Levant Highway - 1 hours After the first Massacre —

The undead army marched along the desert highway toward the next city, heading toward the Sultanate of Aqaba border, less than 100 kilometers away. It was the closest destination where they could harvest more souls.

Along the way, they reaped many lives, each soul swiftly absorbed to fuel the dark forces of Thalassar. Every encounter with the living on the highway ended in death and ruin, leaving devastation in their wake as the army advanced.

News of the undead army reached the two warlords of the Sultanate of Aqaba who ruled the territories near the border. They had contacts within the Ottoman Levant and knew this was no ordinary threat—this was a supernatural army of the undead. Now that the existence of magic and the Curtained World was no longer a secret in the Ottoman Levant, the warlords were among the first to know.
