The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 152 - Battle at the City of the Dead 1
...The Southern Farna Kingdom...
...Death City...
...Lesta's...
...Daylight...
The scenery in this city of death was quite terrifying. With the land starting to become barren, hundreds of thousands of Undead were busy preparing themselves for this battle.
All existing Undeads use Rare level items and above. This equipment could turn an Undead who had a level of around 45 into the equivalent of a Royal Warrior with a level 70. How could they all prepare that equipment?
“Thank you for your support to supply this war gear, Eric.” Evan said as he looked towards the Northeast.
“Take it easy. Is this not a form of our collaboration? Instead, my troops will only act if the situation worsens. As much as possible I want you to beat them all with Undead.” I replied to Evan while wearing a purplish black robe.

[Special Remarks]
An Item assigned to the dead. Ancient relics of the Undead King, Igvirueg.
“Face the robe is fine, Eric. I had to go through various difficulties to get it. After all, I will need it as soon as I win this battle.” Said Evan with a smile that seemed to mock.
“Hahaha…. Just chill. Don't think about it.” Balasku. Now my body is turning into a dead man with pale white skin.
My face? It looked as if it was covered in darkness that disguised my face. The best thing about this item was that the red name on top of my head disappeared.
Soon after, the two of us began to conduct Evaluation regarding the combat power we had. To be honest, Evan's military strength has skyrocketed since I helped him with his Soul Harvesting by utilizing the Slime.
...[.Undead Team – Evan’s Faction]...
Skeleton Warrior: 600,000 more. It was the simplest Undead in Evan's army. Level: about 45.
Skeleton Archer: 280,000 more. It is the simplest remote type Undead. Level: about 40.
Skeleton Knight: 90,000 more. Intermediate level undead who have high endurance. It is suitable to be a shield. Level: about 60.
Skeleton Priest: 30,000 more. An intermediate level Undead who had the ability to heal Undead. Level: about 70.
Skeleton Archbishop: 25. It is one of the highest level Undead types that has a very deadly skill for enemies who have lives that is [Corpse Reanimation].
That skill allowed even just a single Skeleton Archbishop to resurrect thousands of corpses at once and become an Undead with 40% less power than when he was alive. Level: about 120.
...[.Monster Team – Eric’s Faction]...
Under Knox Command (Main Force) :
80,000 Goblin Warriors with levels around 90.
60,000 Shaman Goblins with a level of around 80.
12,000 Goblin Riders with levels around 100.
5,000 Goblin Knights with levels around 115.
2,000 Magician Goblins with a level of around 100.
Under Oliver's Command (Reserve Force) :
300,000 Goblins of various levels who did not yet have any fighting experience. Their level is around 60.
140,000 Kobolds of various levels that did not yet have any fighting experience. Level around 50.
Under Liz Command (Elite Forces)
100 Vampire Barons. Their level which was in the range of 140 as well as a skill that was perfectly suited to fighting humans would make it easier for them to slaughter anything that appeared.
That level 9 noble? Of course it was at an inhumane level as it always obtained the order of extermination and kidnapping of high-level monsters by Deus. Although different from each individual, their average level reaches 230 with a total Growth Point of 70.
“I think everything is ready. I'm pretty sure your own army along with the traps I've set up are enough to slaughter the Goddess's army.” I said with a big smile.
“I didn't expect that you could set a trap in such a ridiculous manner. Thank goodness they came 2 weeks later.” Reply Evan.
Sure enough, I put so many [Bomb] traps underground to blow up anything that approached him. Horsemen? The infantry? Everything will be scattered.
Not only that, I also prepared many [Falling Pit] traps filled with sharp spears. All those unlucky enough to fall there are dead.
As for the [Poison Gas] I had actually buried it underground. It's just that I was hesitant enough to use it because it would reveal too much of my true self. I plan to activate it if it's so desperate.
All of those traps have been spread randomly throughout the entire battlefield.
With a simple word....
Anyone who got close to the City of Lesta would suffer quite a bad fate.
“Whatever the way, as long as the trap works then there will be no problem right?” I asked in a cynical tone.
“Hahaha…. Alright. Let's see if they actually move according to your estimates.” Evan.
...***...
...Outside of the City of Lesta...
Nearly 1 million Soldiers lined up neatly. One-third marched on the North side of Lesta City, another third marched on the Northeast side, while the rest were on the East side.
Of course, these troops were equipped with the presence of hundreds of Trebuchets or stone throwers. Trebuchet would be able to rain down the defenses of Lesta City with huge boulders. The high walls? It only took a few hits of stone to break.
The Southwest side had been blocked by the Farna Kingdom with 30,000 Soldiers led by Arlond. Although few, at least they were able to hold back until reinforcements from the North and East could come.
“Nona Evalina! Here's the report from the surveillance team!” Shouted one of the scouts.
Evalina and Leo as the commander-in-chief of the army seemed to listen carefully.
“What did you say?!” Shouted Evalina immediately after listening to the entire report.
“What's up, Evalina?” Leo asked in confusion.
“Number of Undead troops…. It has increased almost 6-fold since 3 weeks ago. What the hell is going on?! What's more, you said you saw Skeleton Archbishop?!” Evalina panicked.
“That's right, Miss Evalina. We have ensured it with the description you provide.” Reply to the scout.
“Do not say...”.
“We at least saw there are 10 of them.” The scout continued as if he knew Evalina's question.
“Hah…. It's pretty gross.” Said Evalina while sighing.
“I have never met a Skeleton Archbishop, all I know is based on legend alone. That said, long ago the King of Death was able to tear down a city with just one Skeleton Archbishop. Is it that strong?” Ask Leo.
“More than that if the enemy of the Undead is this much.” Reply Evalina while looking at the troops with white armor.
“Maybe…. They can evoke..”.
“Absolutely. One person from our side who is killed will be one undead monster or Zombie. Moreover, his soul that had left his body would be harvested by that damn Necromancer. Next, He will call one Undead type Skeleton.” Clearly Evalina while slightly narrowing her eyes.
“What the fuck?! Doesn't that mean the death of one soldier on our side will add an enemy army of 2 Undead?!” Leo shouted full of surprise.
But it didn't just get there.
The scout resumed his report.
“When we pay close attention and make use of the eyes of the appraiser belonging to the former blacksmith, it is certain that their entire equipment is at least at Rare level. What's more, the material used to make it is the extremely strong Black Iron.”
‘Brukk!!’
Evalina seemed to hit the grassy ground beneath her firmly.
“Damn it!!! What the fuck?! How could that damn Necromancer be this powerful?! Didn't we move as fast as we could?!” Shouted Evalina.
And so….
The preparations for the war between the two sides were finished.
Now all that awaits, is real bloodshed.
