Chapter 174: Monster Wave 5

Philip’s expression wasn’t as bright as one would have thought .

The first time he left Torlot fortress, he was excited, but as he went closer to the western border, he started to frown .

Eventually, once he arrived at the border village, he complained, “Lord, isn’t this a bit too much?”

“What is?”

“Aren’t there much lesser Gigants than we thought? And it’s a warrior class which was produced at the very beginning . Can we stop a monster wave with this?”

When he first joined the reinforcements, Philip was the first to know about the dispatch troops being knights, and he was disappointed .

Knights had been gathered from various places, and the quality of Gigant power and war mages were terrible .

That wasn’t the end of the problem .

The gathered troops were all just fairly trained recruits .

‘This isn’t the end, right? There should be more forces joining us . ’

That was what Philip thought as he moved, but even after reaching the border, there were no new forces that came .

Their opponent was an army of Orcs led by the Orc Hero, who was told to have wiped out the duchy . Could such monsters be defeated with their measly forces?

“Dammit, it must be a trick to take down the Lord . Even if that isn’t the case, this isn’t the right thing!”

The Rakan family and the Imperial family had no other alternative but to constantly keep each other in check .

Immediately after the war with the Volga Republic, the Emperor gave Luke a war hero title to end the accusations of the nobles, but the rebellion had ended .

And it was better if Luke died fighting monsters . Even if he didn’t die in the process, the forces that were supporting them would be punished if they returned empty-handed .

“Well, that is very likely . Whatever the means, they want to handle me . ”

Luke agreed with Philip’s words .

The last war was a great blow to the northern army, but considering the Empire’s forces, around 30,000 elite forces could be easily organized .

However, it was obvious that all the support forces recruited were the young ones who would cause trouble for Luke .

Of course, Luke wasn’t going to go along with it .

He already prepared for it .

“Sebastian . ”

“You called me, Master?” When Luke called out for him in a low tone, Sebastian who was hiding in the shadow of a horse lifted his head and asked .

“For starters, go and see the situation of the Navarre duchy . ”

The most important thing in battle was information .

In the earliest history of the Southern Continent, there was a saying that went like this, ‘If you know the enemy and know yourself, you aren’t at risk even if it means you’ll fight a hundred times . ’

Luke sent Sebastian .

“Belfair . ”

“Yes, Master! I will do everything you ask, what is it?”

Belfair responded as he was closely flying around Luke in his bat form .

“Go to the west meadows and watch the trend of the monsters . If there is anything strange, don’t let it out of your sight and investigate it right away . ”

“Understood . ”

Luke had a power that the world didn’t know about .

Luke decided to use the forces that he had formed as a base during his time as the Devil King Saymon .

‘Since it is a monster, the opponent is good . If we’re careful, we won’t be caught,’ thought Luke .

The Emperor would love to keep Luke at bay, but Luke openly welcomed every challenge from him .

He was rather feeling good because he could now use forces that he could not use as he was in the center of the world’s eyes .

And it wasn’t just that…

Among the dark magic, there was a technique that absorbed the power of others like the Black Bind .

‘Tens of thousands of monsters? I’m looking forward to seeing how much power I can gather . ’

Smiling to himself, he gave the command to the soldiers following him, “Everybody sped up the march! We need to get to Avignon in five days!”
