Kazan’s briefing began.
“This is the appearance of Bell Heights, an impregnable cliff territory.”
Kazan pasted the photo of the magic camera on the wall of the cave. Simon had already seen it, but all the other Ancient Undead poked their heads out with curious faces because it was their first photo.
A heavenly city nestled high on a cliff.
And the unknown wall surrounding the city. It doesn’t seem like a simple barrier.
“Currently, no one in the Dark Alliance is able to break through this wall. For now, we call it by the name of ‘gray wall’.”
Elizabeth interjected, showing interest.
[Is it some kind of barrier?]
“There are different opinions among scholars, but it is not a barrier. It is unknown whether it is a new technique of the association, magic, or the effect of an artifact. There is a possibility that it is not a material that exists on the continent.”
Hersheba giggled and laughed.
[The association seems to be playing around by bringing materials from other worlds or dungeons.]
“okay. I will explain in detail.”
The gray wall that surrounds the manor is not really a ‘wall’. It looks like some kind of smoke or fog, but strangely, it is said that the gas has the same strength as metal. In other words, the metal is swirling like smoke. This is a phenomenon that has never been found in the material world of the continent.
So if anyone tries to force it through there.
“It will be torn to pieces.”
Kazan spoke heavily, but Prince said wahaha! He laughed and clapped his hands like a child.
[Simon! did you hear They say it’s torn! They said it was torn to shreds!]
“Yes, yes.”
Simon responded calmly and glanced at Kazan again. After Kazan cleared his throat, he resumed his explanation.
“Simply put, you can think of it as an endlessly moving wall. Even if you apply strong force, it will only scatter a little, but soon the smoke will rise and return to its original form. Curses, heat, radio waves, etc. will not be eaten. They say you can’t look inside because it basically blocks mana.”
“It is difficult.”
“So, in the past two weeks, no one knows what has happened in that territory.”
Kazan’s expression became serious.
“People may be subjected to severe torture or human experimentation by the association, and in the worst case, there is a possibility that the inside is already filled with that smoke and the city is reduced to dust.”
“… … .”
Simon, lost in thought for a moment, said.
“Nephthys gave our legion a deadline of 5 days. What will happen after 5 days?”
Kazan drooled and scratched at the scars under his eyes.
“It is said that they plan to remove the gray wall using an asymmetric weapon of destruction. Of course, if you use it, the chances of the people inside Bell Heights being safe are slim.”
[Oh my, isn’t that too extreme?]
“It is also proof that the Dark Alliance and the royal family of Shahed are losing face to the association. As the association wants, there is a risk that the solidarity between the allies will be weakened.”
Kazan looked over Simon and the undead.
“The only thing I can trust is the 7th Corps. While everyone is losing face with this incident, the world will see you again if you, who are famous as the angels of death, act actively.”
Damn!
The excited Prince clapped his hands and jumped to his feet.
[good! We become heroes, right? Let’s go, let’s go!]
The atmosphere heated up. Unknown about the situation, but reacting to the atmosphere, the undead screamed fervently from behind, and Pier and Elizabeth were already talking about the war that would take place in the city center after entering the gray wall. While everyone is excitedly talking.
[There is no way to break through.]
tall.
For a while, silence rose inside the ruins.
Soon, everyone’s gaze turned to the farthest back. I saw a zombie butler with a sullen expression sitting in bondage.
[After rescuing the king and becoming a hero of Bell Heights, the identity of the commander is revealed. It’s easy to say. Didn’t I say that no necromancer had ever been able to cross the wall?]
The monocle he was wearing swayed lightly from side to side.
[The human over there, did you say Kazan? Please show me the picture of attacking the wall that was passed next to you again.]
“i get it.”
Kazan passed the photo. A powerful necromancer of high rank was seen pouring black magic on the gray wall.
[Considering the flow and crack width of the wall, the area covered by the gray wall is vast beyond imagination. It would occupy about 1/10 of the diameter of the Bell Heights estate. He probably believes in the Greatsword of Destruction that cuts through that space.]
The zombie butler’s gaze lingered on Peer for a moment before returning.
[Even if the space is cut, smoke will fill the empty space after a while. Assuming that you will break through in succession, you will come to the conclusion that you have to cut a space once in 12 seconds, move forward, and cut another space. You’ll need to repeat this 50 or more times to break through. Even if it was possible, it would be exhausting and the subsequent battle would be impossible.]
The zombie butler closed his eyes.
[Sometimes, rather than recklessly moving, there are times when you need to make a decision to contemplate.]
“… … .”
[…] … .]
A deep silence arose in the cave.
Everyone was looking at the zombie butler with a surprised face, as if they had seen a strange creature.
[It talks a lot.]
Hersheba said in admiration.
[This is the first time I’ve seen a butler talk so much! Interesting!]
Prince jumped up.
[Alaze. Did the butler have such a talkative personality?]
To Elizabeth’s question, Alazee squirmed and answered.
[Zombie butler. Only in your favorite field. Prefers chatter.]
[…] … It’s noisy.]
Heh heh heh!
Peer shrugged and laughed. Prince came forward.
[But have we ever rolled our heads and calculated? It just crashes! What do you see when you collide-]
Within.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Simon.

[This guy will do something.]
The center of everything is Simon.
The Ancient Undead have reason, but in the end, biologically and mentally, they cannot cross the limits of what the Undead can do.
However, the unexpectedness of humans as creatures and the erratic things humans do always cause trouble in one way or another. That’s why they are interested in humans and hold hands with humans.
“As you say.”
Simon got up from his seat.
“I will try to do something. All captains, concentrate on preparing for battle with the society.”
[Yes, Corps Commander!]
[Let’s do it!]
Everyone busily dispersed and left to control the undead under his command. Prince giggled, picked up the still sullen zombie butler, and moved along.
The surroundings became quiet. Soon, Simon is also going to walk and prepare in his own way.
“Simon.”
Kazan beckoned. Simon looked back at him.
“yes?”
“The undead won’t be interested, but it’s a story you need to hear.”
“ah. It looks like there is still something left to brief.”
Kazan closed his eyes while holding the back of his neck.
“Yes, it is a matter of human politics.”
Simon sighed and shrugged his shoulders.
Hey, the royal couple, a mass of political issues walking around, were caught in an association, and there was no political issue.
And the fact that Kazan dared to bring up this side of the story also meant that there was an element necessary for conquering Bell Heights.
“Nephthys-sama also talked about it. I hear the princes claiming to be the king and splitting up to fight each other?”
Kazan raised an eyebrow.
“The talk will be fast.”
***
A day later, everything was ready.
Simon rode the teleport magic circle prepared by Keyzen and moved to the site comfortably.
‘That’s it.’
I saw it as soon as I arrived.
A rocky mountain towering over the wasteland.
And a gray wall spread out above it. Inside, you can see Shahed’s territory and the king’s hometown, ‘Bell Heights’.
I know this picture from looking at the picture, but there was also a scene I had never seen before.
Numerous military barracks located under the Bell Heights rocky mountain.
It was of considerable size. In the barracks surrounding the rocky mountain, you can hear the neighing of horses, the sound of people shouting, and the sound of cooking rice.
‘They said that the 2nd prince’s troops were surrounding that road.’
Simon checked Pier’s bone armor once again. He covered his face with his skullcap and moved on with his robe pulled over.
Now that the life and death of the King and Queen of the Shahed Kingdom is unclear, the situation in Shahed was before the storm. Currently, the royal couple had three sons who could inherit the throne.
The most powerful Prince 1 occupied the palace of Shahed. And he has declared himself ‘King’ and has even issued a wartime order to deal with the situation.
The second prince, who was slightly underpowered, stuck to the ‘filial son’ position to take care of the cause. Her father and mother are suffering because they are confined to Bell Heights, but as a child, how can they be happy in a comfortable palace?
However, the real reason is ‘consolidation of military power’.
They continue to gather troops for the cause of protecting the royal couple. The moment the death of the king and queen becomes certain, the horse will turn its head and run towards the palace.
Each of Shahed’s ministers and local powers are all divided into forces supporting these two princes. There are 3 princes, but this one is weak, so it is said that they are treated as few people.
“Who are you!”
While he was lost in his thoughts, Simon had arrived in front of the military tent before he knew it.
Clap!
Clap!
Countless bows were aimed at Simon behind the fence of the tent.
Sreung!
visor!
Heavy soldiers, armed with weapons, secretly surrounded Simon.
“I asked who you are! Reveal your identity!”
An intruder who refuses to comply with the sentry’s demands. There would be no problem if they attacked right away, but the soldiers were overwhelmed by the aura of this mysterious man.
‘shall we start.’
Dark blue eyes flashed inside Simon’s hood.
[Get out of the way.]
Simon’s words, borrowed from peers, echoed around.
Upon hearing the cold voice, the faces of the soldiers instantly darkened. There were also those whose spear points trembled.
“What’s the fuss?”
I was slightly threatened, and the response came right away. A man in a fancy outfit was approaching this way with a group of necromancers.
Simon knew at a glance who he was.
‘2 Princes. He came directly.’
Shahed’s image was a bit more traditional and edgy, just a high-ranking aristocrat adorned with common jewels and dressed in fine clothes, like a painting.
Soon after, a man who appeared to be a servant came and whispered something in his ear, and the second prince raised his lips.
“Are you the commander of that betrayal? The rumored killer of the death squad made the trip himself! The press always talks a lot about when it comes.”
he raised his arm
“Can we talk?”
Execution! chuck! chuck! straight up!
Soldiers quickly began to surround them.
[Shahhead has no common sense.]
Simon slowly grabbed the hood and lowered it.
Soon, the skull helmet that covered his face flashed and his eyes radiated.
[Do not raise the point of a spear while discussing a conversation. It’s not because you can’t use your troops.]
The soldiers put on a terrified expression for Simon’s murderous look.
The 2nd prince’s face grew cold.
“Hey, I can’t seem to get the mood. You are now a criminal on death row. How dare you in front of the regular army… … !”
“Excuse me, Prince.”
damn Right.
An old necromancer appeared with a staff.
Behind them, a huge blood golem followed as if escorting them.
“There is nothing good about provoking the corps commander of the coalition here. Please be generous with the prince’s wide bowl.”
The prince tutted and clicked his tongue. The old necromancer spoke to Simon.
“Nice to meet you, Commander of the Legion of Betrayal. I’ve heard rumors that the Order is being tracked down, but this is a royal affair. It is not an outsider’s problem.”
It seemed that someone with whom I could speak had appeared.
Simon put his hand into his inner pocket, then took out a letter with Kizen’s seal on it.
[I received a request from the Witch of Death.]
At that name, the faces of the Shahed soldiers hardened even more. The old necromancer received and read his letter and nodded his head towards the 2nd prince.
The second prince tsk again and clicked his tongue.
“Then you said that from the beginning.”
Simon stared at the second prince quietly.
Peer’s voice echoed in Simon’s head.
[Khehehe! This man’s job is to save his parents, but he doesn’t like it!]
‘I guess so.’
At the point where it is not yet confirmed that the parents are dead, all the princes are working over the ‘throne’. If the king and queen return alive, the two princes will be in an awkward position.
In addition, they must have thought that the throne was no different from their own, and many ministers and local nobles supported them like kings.
Once you’ve tasted power, you can’t go back.
‘Because that’s power.’
However, Simon has a different reason for finding the second prince.
“Commander, thank you for coming, but it will probably be in vain. No one can break through that gray wall… … .”
[The coat of arms of the royal family.]
“?”
Simon pointed to the second prince’s necklace.
[If there is, it seems to be helpful in the search.]
“what?”
The royal family of Shahed all have the royal coat of arms.
It is said that sentences have the power to attract each other.
Kazan hinted that this would make it easier to find where the king and queen are.
“hey! There is a certain degree of disrespect!”
The 2nd prince was furious.
“This is proof that I am royalty… … !”
Whoa-!
Just then, a dazzling light flashed behind the curtain.
The old necromancer and the second prince looked back with flinching faces.
After a while.
jerk jerk.
“Nice to meet you all.”
Suddenly, a young man wearing a crown walked in. The expression with the corners of the mouth raised in the slender narrow eyes is impressive.
I immediately realized who Simon was.
‘1 Prince.’
“what? How did my brother get here… … !”
The two princes reacted in tears. Prince 1 approached Simon with a smile on his face and a necromancer escort led by him.
“Nice to meet you, Commander of the Legion of Betrayal.”
Then a knight came up and whispered to him.
The first prince nodded and said.
“As a child, I express my gratitude to you for saving my mom and dad. How could I not help?”
Seruk.
He pulled out the necklace and raised the corner of his mouth while looking at the second prince.
“The crest of the royal family, I will give it to you.”
***
same time.
Keygen Headquarters.
“mom! How could that be?”
Outside the meeting room, Nephthys and Lorraine were having a serious conversation.
The voice was getting higher and higher.
“Is it true that Simon was sent to Bel Heights alone?”
Nephthys tilted her head.
“Well, if it’s Simon, it will be possible to liberate Bell Heights. No, if Simon can’t do this much, no calculations will work.”
“Where is such an irresponsible story!”
Lorraine huffed and puffed, then turned her head.
“Lorraine! Where?”
Suddenly, she emerged from the room with a large bag slung over her shoulder.
“run away. I am going to help Simon.”
