Chapter 106: The Ability of a Senior Military Adviser (1)
Then Kajel said again in an urgent voice,
“Keirun! Sovereign Zenith is coming. There seems to be a golem that looks like an advanced lord.”
Kajel used his clone to show the situation through a 3D map in front of Keirun.
There was a huge golem...
And behind him was Zenith leading 3,000 troops toward the Yugang building. Next to Zenith was a dark mage wearing a red robe.
Keirun frowned as he saw them.
‘Two advanced lords and two lower lords as well as 5,000 troops.’
It would be a one-sided dominance if it was only Hardis’ troops. However, it could now become quite a melee.
Of course, he still had the overwhelming advantage in general troops.
Heksia and her 5,000 advanced bloody lycanthrope warriors had joined Kang-jun’s household!
Even a portion of them could wipe out Hardis’ orcs and Zenith’s snakemen.
The power of the advanced bloody lycanthrope warriors could process them.
However, they weren’t the only ones.
The 200 vampire mages had powerful fire magic that could turn the enemy into ashes.
There were also the advanced bloody lycanthrope shamans whose attack power was one level higher than the vampire mages.
There were 300 of these shamans.
Was that all?
For one-on-one strength that was comparable to the advanced bloody lycanthrope warriors, there were the 1,000 giant ratian greatsword warriors.
There were also 200 ratian rangers, 100 flying ratians, 100 golem ratigers and 300 giant dark wolves!
Therefore, it was a one-sided victory for them if he didn’t take the lords into account.
However, the problem was the advanced lords. They were scary beings capable of wiping out the general forces.
Fortunately, there were those who could fight against the lords.
In the meantime, Naga Queen Melinad had increased her power steadily.
Keirun was convinced that she had enough power to match the advanced lords.
Additionally, there was the dark mage, Driana.
She had been one of the advanced lords under the Second Demon King and her abilities had also risen.
Moreover, he couldn’t leave out Commander Heksia.
She had yet to deal with any advanced lords with her individual combat power, but her ability to command multiple troops was the best by far.
Particularly, the advanced bloody lycanthrope warriors would exert their best combat power when led by Heksia.
There was also a strong, indispensable power.
It was the ogre, Germuz.
Germuz, an ordinary ogre, had his abilities skyrocket whenever Kang-jun received compensation for his achievements.
As a result, he now had unimaginable strength and hard skin compared to ordinary ogres. Germuz would no longer be pushed by the presence of lower grade lords.
There was also the cat shaped Rodiam.
This was because the battle power of the minotaur, Rodiam’s transformed shape, was almost equal to Germuz. Additionally, he had recovery magic as well as a variety of support magic, so he was comparable to Germuz.
The last one was Kajel.
He didn’t boast the same brute power as Germuz. However, his true worth was with the spheres that were his clones.
The spherical bodies had the ability to scout and look at the enemy’s situation. Kajel was able to produce up to seven spheres at once.
Keirun had the ability to intuitively but very accurately grasp the individual powers of his allies.
This was an ability only available to advanced military advisers.
Due to Kang-jun’s achievements, Keirun’s abilities had grown rapidly to that of an advanced military adviser.
After a while, at the base headquarters...
He gathered Naga Queen Melinad, Dark Mage Driana, Rodiam, Kajel as well was Heksia who was urgently recalled from the Bloody Battlefield.
Keirun said to them,
"Hardis and Zenith have been fooled by the Second Demon King and are on their way here. As a military adviser, I will lead the defense of the base on behalf of Lord. Therefore, I would like everyone to follow my instructions.”
Melinad nodded easily.
"It is more important to keep Lord’s base than our lives. I will follow your instructions.”
Heksia and Driana also nodded.
"I'll follow the instructions of the military adviser.”
"What should we do now?"
Keirun smiled and said,
"I intend to defend this base while minimizing the sacrifice of our allies.”
"What about the wards around the base?”
Driana’s eyes lit up. She was a dark magic, so she had a considerable level of knowledge and ability in this field.
Keirun grinned.
"Right. The base of the Yugang building will be the headquarters while each building will form a defense structure independently. I need the cooperation of Melinad and Heksia who have been entrusted to each base.”
“I will cooperate.”
"Of course, I will cooperate."
Defenders could only be deployed in their own territory, not the occupied territories.
Kang-jun currently owned five buildings.
Among them, three of the buildings included the Yugang building that belonged to Keirun and the remaining two that belonged to Melinad and Heksia.
“Then, let’s get started.”
“Yes.”
"I'm starting."
Keirun immediately touched the base crystal and chanted a spell.
Susususu.
At that moment, the space of the Yugang building started to change.
The interior of the headquarters stayed intact, while the outside of the Yugang building changed into a round castle.
That wasn’t all.
The other four buildings, including the Dafeng building, were surrounded by a barrier.
It was an enormous castle consisting of four towers.
The areas surrounding the castle changed into wilderness.
Ratian rangers and giant ratian spearmen were deployed on the walls, while bloody lycanthropes were placed in front of the outer gate to wait for orders.
Additionally, advanced succubus healers were placed everywhere.
Vampire mages and bloody lycanthrope shamans were deployed throughout the castle to prepare for magic attacks.
All of these things took place at the same time.
Keirun said with a satisfied expression,
"We are now ready to stop the enemy’s general troops. Melinad will take the centaur lord Kurao and Driana will deal with the golem Turbo.”
“Yes.”
“I understand.”
Melinad and Driana weren’t surprised to hear who their opponents were.
Their eyes were filled with confidence that they could win.
At the same time, they were looking at Keirun with favour.
Then Heksia asked,
"What about me?”
"Once the battle between the advanced lords begins, Hardis and Zenith will attack. At that time, Heksia should join in the defense of the castle. Particularly, please block the magic attacks of the enemy dark mages.”
Keirun continued,
"After that, lead the lycanthrope squads to sweep up the enemy when I give the signal.”
“Huhut, that is a cool strategy.”
Heksia smiled with satisfaction at her mission.
At that time, the centaur lord, who was marching toward the Yugang building with Hardis, stopped suddenly and stared at the fog in front of him.
"Kelnia, the wards seem to have been activated.”
Dark Mage Kelnia’s expression solidified. She had also determined that the thick fog in front of them was unusual.
"They are strong wards. Only an advanced military adviser is capable of this. The resistance will be more challenging than I thought.”
Kurao laughed,
“The result won’t be any different. None of them will be able to confront me.”
Kelnia carefully looked at him and said,
"But you should be careful about Naga Queen Melinad and Dark Mage Driana.”
“Don’t worry about Melinad and it is the same for Driana. I am impervious to magic.”
Kurao said with a confident expression. He wanted to go in and wipe out all the enemies alone.
However, he had received an order from the Second Demon King to strike with the golem Turbo.
Kung. Kung. Kung.
After a while, the ground shook as the giant golem Turbo appeared.
Following behind him were snakemen.
They had the head of a snake and the body of a person.
The monsters consisted of heavy infantry, archers and mages.
The golem Turbo saw Kurao and said,
“This is the place? We will start soon.”
"Yes.”
Turbo and Kurao rushed into the zone of fog.
Then Hardis and Zenith stared at each other.
They made a surprised expression as they stared at each other, then laughed wickedly.
"Huhu, we ended up taking the same boat, Zenith.”
"Keuk! I didn’t think you would become the subordinate of the Second Demon King.”
Zenith had been nervous about accepting the Second Demon King’s offer.
However, that disappeared once he saw that Hardis was in the same position as him.
It was the same for Hardis.
Having a colleague in the same boat made him feel more assured.
“Then let’s advance.”
"Yes.”
Hardis’ orcs and Zenith’s snakemen advanced into the fog.
Sususu.
The moment that they passed through the fog zone, a huge castle appeared.
“Kuhuhuhu! Do you think you can stop me with this sloppy castle?”
The centaur lord Kurao flew in the air and rushed towards the castle.
Then Naga Queen Melinad, who had been waiting, flew and blocked Kurao’s path.
"Stop, Kurao. If you want to enter the castle, you will have to knock me down first.”
Melinad shot forward with her spear, aiming it at Kurao.
Kurao was shocked.
Of course, he had known about Melinad. Melina had once been a member of the Second Demon King’s Army.
However, the presence coming from Melinad was completely different than before.
‘I will make her lose.’
Kurao solidified his determination and rushed toward Melinad.
Shuuuuu-
Kurao’s spear rushed through the space!
Melinad didn’t flee and swung her spear as much as possible.
Kaaaang!
At the same time, her spear divided into countless numbers aimed at Kurao.
Papapak!
Dozens of spears pierced Kurao’s body.
"Kuook!”
Kurao shrieked. It happened in the blink of an eye.
However, all of Kurao’s injuries recovered immediately.
“Kukuk! Melinad, you are reasonably strong but it is too bad that you are facing me.”
He charged forward.
There was a flash as he stabbed his spear.
“Bah!”
Melinad moved to the side as if she had anticipated it and avoided Kurao’s blow.
"That trick won’t work on me.”
Papapat!
Kurao’s body became a bloody mess.
"Kuaaak! You dare!”
Kurao retreated hastily and recovered from his injuries. At that moment, Melinad clung onto his spear and swung hers.
"I will show you how to use this properly.”
“Kuoh, good!”
Kurao threw everything into his next blow. He swung his spear carefully, thinking that he would lose if he didn’t use all his power.
Chang! Chaang! Hwi hwi hwi hwik! Kuaang!
While a battle was going on between the centaur lord and the queen naga, the fight between the giant golem, Turbo, and the dark mage, Driana, was starting.
