章節 67: Chapter 67: Grand General
"Martial skill <Explosive Strike>!" Gagaran swung the large hammer in her hand, fending off the attacks from the spear-wielding skeletons. She struck a skeleton soldier's shield, sending the soldier flying, crashing into the ones behind.
"Floating Sword Array!"
Six swords flew from behind Lakyus, killing all the skeletons that Gagaran had knocked down.
"Charge through the gap that Gagaran created!"
"Not so fast!"
The Death Knight, riding his large black skeleton horse, blocked the gap.
"Damn it, get out of my way!"
Gagaran swung her large hammer toward the Death Knight.
The Death Knight, using his mount to move quickly, generated a powerful impact and swung his massive halberd, striking Gagaran's hammer head-on.
Gagaran felt an overwhelming surge of power transfer from the hammer. The hammer was cleaved, leaving a large crack, and then it was knocked out of her hands, sending Gagaran flying along with it.
"Gagaran, let go!"
"How could a warrior let go of her weapon?"
"Stop!" Gagaran tried desperately to make the hammer stop, but sadly, She failed.
Gagaran was dragged into an area densely populated with skeleton soldiers by the hammer.
The skeleton soldiers raised their spears and thrust them fiercely into Gagaran's back. Luckily, Gagaran was wearing armor, but the armor still had several cracks from the strikes.
Gagaran smashed into two skeleton soldiers and fell to the ground.
The surrounding skeleton soldiers swarmed in, striking her armor with their weapons. As a spear aimed for Gagaran's head, Tina appeared by her side, blocking the attack.
However, Tina found herself surrounded as well. She swiftly slashed at a skeleton soldier's neck with her sword, but didn't sever the head completely; it was still attached by a part of the neck.
She followed up with another strike, killing the skeleton soldier.
Gagaran and Tina fought back-to-back amidst the swarm of skeleton soldiers.
Neither Gagaran nor Tina could kill a skeleton soldier with a single blow.
Gagaran's weapon could smash the skeleton soldiers' bones, but it couldn't deliver a fatal blow.
Tina's weapon was too short to sever a skeleton soldier's head in one strike.
These skeleton soldiers were different from ordinary ones; they reacted quickly and attacked in coordinated formations, using synchronized tactics.
Gagaran and Tina had a hard time finding an opportunity to counterattack.
Seeing Tina rush to help Gagaran, Lakyus let out a sigh of relief. She teamed up with Tia to attack, making her way toward Gagaran. However, the Death Knight on horseback charged toward Lakyus.
"Lakyus, watch out behind you!"
Tia immediately warned as she noticed the danger.
But the Death Knight was moving incredibly fast, and Lakyus had no time to react.
Tia drew her dagger and lunged at the Death Knight, but there was no way her dagger could win against the large halberd in direct confrontation.
Tia knew this, so she aimed for the Death Knight's skeletal horse.
Just as she was about to strike, the Death Knight's mount suddenly halted, turning sideways to face Tia.
What awaited Tia was the Death Knight's large halberd.
At this moment, Tia couldn't stop herself. She could only avoid a fatal strike.
The blade struck Tia's shoulder, severing her entire left shoulder along with the arm.
Tia caught her severed arm and quickly retreated back to Lakyus's side.
"Healing"
Tia's arm was healed by Lakyus's healing magic.
At this moment, Lakyus's gaze shifted to the insignia on the Death Knight's armor.
"That insignia is... my childhood idol, the former Grand General of the Kingdom, Lucas!"
"I never expected that after so many years, someone would still remember my name."
"General Lucas, weren't you killed in the war fifteen years ago? Your remains were brought back to the kingdom and buried. How did you end up as an undead here?"
"Hmph! Buried back in the kingdom? Those nobles never accepted that I was originally of common birth. They took the body of a dead noble and buried it as if it were mine, giving it a grand burial."
"How could this happen! How could they treat you like this?"
"You too are a noble, right? Don't you understand what nobles are like?"
"General Lucas, since you still remember your life before, why would you willingly become such a monster?"
"Hahaha! A monster!"
"I hate it! I hate that I couldn't destroy the kingdom with my own hands."
"This kingdom, to which I devoted my entire heart. I fought countless battles for it, but what did I get in return? Every time, the nobles held me back. The king knew, but still did nothing."
"Even so, I never gave up."
"But when the nobles couldn't stand my integrity anymore, they started to plot against me. Every time, I foiled their schemes, reported it to the king, and all I got in return was that the noble had been punished."
"And not long after, I still saw them alive and well."
"The punishment they received was nothing but house arrest! Ridiculous!"
"They couldn't get rid of me, so they poisoned the warhorse that had accompanied me for many years."
"If it hadn't been for the horse suddenly collapsing during battle, how could I have died on the battlefield? How could we have lost that fight?"
"I, who have won a hundred battles and never been defeated, how could I lose!"
"General Lucas, since your death, the kingdom has been losing battle after battle against the empire. Everyone wants you to return."
"What does that have to do with me? What does the kingdom's victory or defeat have to do with me? The moment I died, I understood everything. The person I should hate the most is the king. My only wish now is to personally kill the king of the kingdom and wash the blood of all the nobles."
"An incompetent person does not deserve to sit on the throne. Trash does not deserve power. I will make them understand that the victor is king."
"I am very grateful to my current master, Lord Iguva. It is he who gave me the opportunity to be reborn, allowing me the chance to fulfill my resentment."
"Having said all that, young girl, you should be on your way."
"Don't worry, after you die, my master will transform you into an undead. You won't be alone, and your companions will also become undead. However, whether you retain the memories of your living self will depend on your will."
.......
After Evileye finished dealing with all the necromancer corpses, she saw Gagaran flying through the air.
Tina immediately rushed to help Gagaran, which relieved her quite a bit.
She looked towards where Gagaran had flown from and saw a death knight.
Just as she was preparing to go help Lakyus kill the death knight, Evileye noticed a massive black magic circle appearing on the ground.
A dark aura began to spread from all the skeleton soldiers.
"Fire!"
At Iguva's command,
Hundreds of black arrows shot towards Evileye.
Evileye had absolute confidence in her shield, but when the black arrows hit her shield, they turned into a pool of black slime, corroding the shield.
"These are corrosive arrows with dark attributes."
Evileye immediately realized that it was the powerful necromancer she had encountered earlier who was responsible.
Compared to magic, arrows travel faster and in greater numbers. Evileye found it very difficult to dodge the arrows while moving, but dealing with these skeletal archers would be even more troublesome.
There were over three hundred of these archers, all positioned in a scattered formation, leaving her no chance for a group attack.
Evileye wanted to bypass these archers and attack Iguva, but she had to dodge and move at the same time.
After all, her time was running out. If she couldn't deal with Iguva quickly, there was a high chance that Lakyus and the others would die.
If Lakyus died, no one would be able to cast resurrection magic for her.
