Death Guns In Another World Chapter 1508 1348: War 3

As for Rairhan, the sensation and sound of the friction between his jaw and steel armor was able to temporarily calm the surging flas in him. He liked it this way as this montary peace ant that there would be much more violent eruptions ahead. He couldn't wait to charge forward, lead his subordinates against the enemies, and trample them into ashes.

''S-Sir Commander."

A feeble voice sounded.

Rairhan ca to a slight halt and turned to the flustered young man, who appeared to be no different from the short-lived slaves. He looked miserable, skinny, and had ssy long hair sticking to his face. A pitch-black cloak wrapped his body and the red substrate could be vaguely seen. The young man hugged a white cat in his arms, nodding, and bowing to

Rairhan. His na was Raoul, a Vampire who was sent here just before this war. Death Knights had always been annoyed by the Vampires who used crafty plots and machinations behind their backs, which was why Rairhan let out a snort in disdain.

"W-We're reaching our destination soon."

"Oh."

Rairhan replied in a perfunctory tone. He shifted his gaze forward and spotted a silhouette of a pitch-black, imposing structure. That was their destination: the Alex's Fortress and the most important defensive line in the western Renner Kingdom. As long as they broke through the defenses, they could penetrate the vast plain and slaughter their way to Apple City.

At this mont, Rairhan pondered for a mont.

He randomly recalled the report regarding a dangerous young overlord in this territory. Besides, according to his companions, two of their elite soldiers had died at his hands. Not only that, but he had also eliminated the entire secret army that executed the mission with one of them. This achievent itself was enough to make Rairhan view him in a new light.

'I didn't expect that there would be such an interesting fella among the Humans.'

Rairhan let out a grunt. He wasn't interested in that Elite soldier's death. Even though they were all Death Knights, friendship between Undead Creatures was only a joke. On the contrary, he was amused by the young overlord. He heard that the Fortress was built in half a day. No matter if the rumors were true or false, that young overlord must be truly capable.

If there was an opportunity, Rairhan wished to turn him into his subordinate.

'I'm thinking too much.'

Rairhan kept his thoughts and shook his head slightly. The spiritual flas in his eyes flickered. It was in total darkness at the Fortress, apart from sporadic dancing flas. It seed that the people hadn't sensed the dangers yet and this night was nothing more than an ordinary one.

But it would be a different story soon.

"Dispatch the Bone Griffins to check on the situation ahead."

Rairhan ordered and Schrodinger nodded. He turned around and made a few hand gestures. Shortly after, four Bone Griffins flew into the sky and headed for the Fortress.

"Sir, you're too careful."

Raoul turned to the Death Knight with a pleasing smile.

"It's impossible for the shaless mortals to detect our arrival. Everything that they have done will be for naught. In just a few monts, we will shatter their peaceful and blissful dreams of fantasy and present everything to our supre His Majesty, the Dark Dragon."

"Hmph."

Rairhan let out a snort. He lifted his hand to give another command…

However, at this mont, a dazzling, bright light column soared into the sky.

Rairhan instinctively shielded his eyes from the blinding, divine brightness. The silver-whitish light column burst through the dark sky and lit up the clouds. The dark clouds dispersed, and a white radiance spread throughout all directions. In an instant, a translucent barrier was ford over the Fortress and the sporadic flas suddenly changed.

The flas on the city wall blazed as though responding to the silver-whitish light column and the bright radiance revealed soldiers lined densely on the city wall with their raised torches, shields, and bows, staring forward with determined gazes. Heavy, enormous ballistas aid forward on the towers on both ends.

Rairhan frowned instantly and glared forward. Even a dummy knew what the situation was.

' Those Humans were ready and waiting for our arrival! Damn it! Damn it! How did they know? Our plan should've been perfect!'

"H-How is this possible…"

Raoul shrieked and yelled in horror. Then, at this mont, the annoyed Rairhan swatted Raoul's cheek, which sent him falling to the ground.

"Impossible for them to detect our arrival? You worthless trash!"

Rairhan glared fiercely at the shuddering young man. Even though he wasn't aware of how the Humans found out this top secret which only top commanders in the army knew, he had no choice but to face it since there was no other way out!

Rairhan raised his hand at this thought.

"Att—…"

"Do it."

Alex swung his right hand down and said coldly from atop of the fortress.

Countless arrows streaked across the sky.

Rairhan let out a grim laughter. Ordinary arrows were harmless against Undead Creatures and the most common thod that the mortals used to eliminate them was by shooting arrows wrapped in burning clothes. However, even though the omnipresent arrows in the air appeared threatening, they weren't lit with flas, after all… Then,

Rairhan realized that sothing strange with the arrows.

They were entirely scarlet.

At this mont, the rain of arrows struck and engulfed the Undead Army.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of loud explosions filled the air with rolling flas spreading among the Undead Army. The powerful explosions and scorching flas raised the snow surface and crumbled the Undead Army. Many of the Skeleton Soldiers were blasted into midair and they shattered into bits as soon as they crashed into the ground.

Although the Skeleton Soldiers lacked the emotions or fear, the force of impact had stopped them from advancing forward. In an instant, their front line was left in a complete ss.

"Damn it!"

Rairhan let out a bellow. He just realized that the arrows were unusual. Those weren't ordinary arrows.

'Those were magic arrows! Damn it. Why would there be so many magic arrows in this ridiculous place? Even a regular elite army doesn't possess so many of them!'

"Necromancers! Strengthen our defense! Bone Griffins, attack!"

Rairhan ordered instantly. Several Necromancers stepped forward in large strides. They raised their white bone staff and chanted the evil curses. In the blink of an eye, barriers of pitch-black halos spun, expanded, and enveloped the Undead Army.

°°°°

Alex gazed at the flag with puckered brows. Then, he turned to the rest beside him and shrugged. He recognized this flag to be under one of the four legendary generals.

''Cecilia, Alice you two know what to do next, right?"

"Of course, Alex. Don't worry."

Cecilia smiled and turned to Alice.

"Alice, I will dispel their defense curse. You will take charge of retaliation and attack. You've fully grasped the 'Flawless Casting technique', right?"

"Yes, Miss Alice."

Cecilia nodded and both of them turned to the Undead Army with raised arms.

"Ketam, Kukuleczka kuka, chiopiec panny, szuka, lal panam, grekula."

"Gtupi ten kawalir co z majatkiem."

The young ladies chanted spells while their fair, slender fingers streaked across the air. flickering magical runes flashed across them and transford into invisible powers that spun and coalesced.

"Grr…"

The Necromancers' raised staff trembled. They gritted their teeth and the spiritual flas in their eyes blazed. Their defense barrier ford by pitch-black, sinister runes shivered violently and gradually shrunk as though an invisible, large hand was crashing it. The magical undulation grew increasingly chaotic and frantic.

At the sa ti, Alice elegantly gave a final swipe of her finger in midair. Her fingertip emanated a radiance that traced a perfect circle.

"—!"

The disorderly protection barrier crumbled instantly. The twisted, dark runes collided with one another and shattered into nothingness like fragile bubbles. On the other hand, the Necromancers maintaining the barrier were blasted away as though they were hit by a powerful punch. It seed that they wouldn't be getting back on their feet anyti soon.

"Trash! Nothing but a pile of worthless trash!"

Rairhan exclaid in exasperation. Then, he witnessed the soldiers on the city wall raising their bow and arrows once again.

Alex looked down at the Undead Army without any change in his expression. His gaze was stone cold, determined, and had so traces of berserk. He was like a completely different person, different from his usual self. Sohow, he had started to change, slowly but surely. This growth may be positive or negative, only ti could tell.

For now he was focused on the war, surviving until the end with his subordinates to finally confront Bahamut's clone and finally accomplish his ultimate goal for setting foot into the Infinity Maze. He missed his loved ones, always wondering how they're doing.

Alex shook his head issued a command.

"Second wave of arrows. Get ready."
