Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate



After regaining his calm, General Fahad continued his explanation as he pointed at the Eastern Region of the Yelan Kingdom.

"I already said earlier that the three Dreadnaught-Ranked Monsters split their forces," General Fahad stated. "While two of them remained in the Ammarian Kingdom, one of them headed to our Kingdom. The city you saw earlier was one of the outer cities that was destroyed just a day ago.

"The Monster Army headed East, destroying any city they came across. I have a feeling that after they destroy a few more cities, they will turn back and deal with us next. For some reason, the Dreadnaught Monster seemed to be avoiding the main army. But, if my assumptions are correct, I believe that it is simply toying with us and purposefully making us feel helpless."

Lux was deep in thought as he listened to General Fahad's explanation. However, someone seemed to not be able to read the mood and decided to ask the Yelan General a question.

"General, do you know about the Zephyr Kingdom?" Cai asked.

"The Zephyr Kingdom? Of course, I know them," General Fahad replied. "That is the kingdom located near the borders of the Ammarian Kingdom. Just like us, they were able to repel the Ammarian Kingdom's invasion, keeping their sovereignty.

"Their army is also quite powerful. Perhaps, even more powerful than ours. Have you been there before?"

Cai and the other teenager's expressions became solemn after hearing General Fahad's reply.

Before all of them were killed a few days ago and were ejected from the Gate of Famine, they were fighting alongside the Zephyr Kingdom's Army against the three Dreadnaught-Ranked Monsters that had attacked their Capital City.

The last one to die in that struggle was Cai, but before she did, she had witnessed the destruction of the entire Capital City of the Zephyr Kingdom, which was nearly two weeks ago.

(A/N: The timeline of the Sacred Dungeon and the world inside the Gate of Famine was similar to Zangrila. A week inside the Gate of Famine was equivalent to a day in the outside world).

"General, I have another question," Cai said with a seriousness that was very rare for her to show. "Is the Dreadnaught Monster attacking the Yelan Kingdom a silver-haired devil? You know—a humanoid with two horns, silver hair, and bat-like wings?"

General Fahad shook his head.

"The Monster leading the Monster Outbreak in our Kingdom is not the devil you spoke of," General Fahad replied. "It is a Giant Earth Turtle. Even our Kingdom's most powerful magical cannons are unable to even leave a dent in that Monster's body.

"It was still a Dreadnaught-Ranked World Boss a few days ago. But after destroying several cities, its Rank suddenly jumped to the peak of the Dreadnaught Rank, making it a Pseudo-Empyrean Ranked World Boss. I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I'm doubting if we will be able to survive this calamity."

General Fahad was a very brave General and didn't back away even when he faced the Ammarian Army, which had greater numbers than his own.

For him to acknowledge that the chances of winning were nearly non-existent proved just how dire their current situation was.

Lux, who had been listening all this time, opened his Soul Book and enlarged the map of the Yelan Kingdom.

Dozens of miles away from them, countless blinking red dots appeared on the map, which were scattered in different places.

It seemed that the Giant Earth Turtle was using the divide and conquer strategy, attacking as many towns as possible in the shortest amount of time possible.

'That explains why we were attacked by the Winged Serpent and the Wyverns,' Lux thought. 'We were not their real target but this city that General Fahad was guarding. We just happened to be in their way, so they decided to attack us first.'

Now that the pieces were finally falling in place, Lux understood the current situation.

"General, I have some good news and bad news for you," Lux said as he observed the map on his Soul Book. "Which one do you want to hear first?"

"The good news," General Fahad replied. "I want some good news right now."

Lux nodded. "The good news is that the Monsters that were supposed to attack this town have already been dealt with by us. Meaning, that in the next four days, no Monsters will be attacking this city."

"That is indeed good news," General Fahad commented. "But what do you mean when you said that we wouldn't be attacked in the next four days? Do you mean that we will be attacked on the fifth day?"

Lux sighed before nodding his head.

"It seems that the Earth Turtle has realized that one of its raiding parties had failed their mission," Lux stated. "So it has ordered half of its army to head here, while the other half will continue to head East, facing off against the Main Army of the Yelan Kingdom."

General Fahad, as well as the teenagers that belonged to Lux's entourage, were shocked by the Half-Elf's revelation.

They had no idea why Lux sounded so confident when he made his declaration, but all of them knew that he wasn't joking one bit.

General Fahad remained silent for a full minute before asking Lux a question through gritted teeth.

"What do you think we should do?" General Fahad asked.

After fighting alongside Lux in the previous war, he treated the Half-Elf's words very seriously.

ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm "Evacuate the citizens and tell them to head to the Capital City," Lux replied. Have the new recruits, and a few of your officers escort them. If my estimate is right, this city will most likely be destroyed when the Monster Army arrives. If you don't want to have innocent victims, then the only thing that you can do is order an evacuation, and it must be done… right now."

Lux's voice held a finality that General Fahad wasn't able to ignore.

An hour later, the General made an announcement and all of his messengers passed through everyone in the city.

The Monsters were coming, and the only way for them to live was to evacuate before it was too late.

Lux was confident that he would be able to protect himself, but he couldn't say the same for the people in the city.

The Monster Army that was headed in their direction numbered in the tens of thousands and, based on what he had seen, there were several Argonaut Ranked and Deimos Ranked Monsters mixed in it.

One thing that grabbed his attention was a red dot that was significantly bigger than the others.

Although he didn't want to overthink things, he had a feeling that the leader of the Monster Army headed in their direction was a Monster that had just evolved into the Dreadnaught Rank.
