Chapter 736: 736
Chapter 736: Undead Wave 1
Luke wasn’t the only one who was reported about the massive undead attack .
The heads of the allies who had come over to Nemesis to discuss the territorial division of occupied territory were shocked at the reports from their own nations .
“What? Not one or two undead, millions of them are passing through the western desert?”
-Yes, President! For now, we asked Duke Kutzov to lead the central army to the west, but we need to take necessary measures as quickly as possible .
The report from his secretary left Vladimir in thought .
The deserts were located to the west of the Volga Republic, the Baroque Empire, and the Navarre duchy .
The environment was poor, so life wasn’t suitable in those places except for a few monsters or bandits .
During the past, when there was a monarchy going on, there were a few large and small fortresses built in there .
However, there weren’t more than 100 troops stationed in each of those forts, which meant no more than 1,000 would be there . And till then, there had never been any invasion through the western deserts .
More than a decade ago, the Baroque Empire did try to invade the Volga Republic by using the western desert .
However, at that time, the troops of Baroque which were 50,000, and the Navarre Duchy troops of 20,000 were devastated with the heatstroke, lack of water, and constant attack from the monsters, and had a huge loss of Gigant because of the sand storms .
After that, no invasion through the desert had taken place, and the only thing which would ever come in from that desert were the groups of monsters or bandits .
But now something new was coming!
‘Damn it, I knew that the dreams weren’t as peaceful for the past few days, this was why!’

President Vladimir, who had an ancient power, had a bad dream right before coming over to Nemesis .
He was slowly watching the sunset, but all of a sudden, a black tornado comes over and injures him .
The sunset was thought to symbolize the perishing Baroque Empire .
However, he wasn’t sure what the sinister black tornado was .
Being unsure, he thought that it was an attempt to assassinate him, and increase the number of escorts .
‘They need countermeasures . Will the troops in the west and those taken by Kutzov be able to stop those undead?’
The correct answer was ‘No’ .
The standing army of the Volga Republic was around 400,000 .
Among them, there were 100,000 of those who were considered to be the elite, and they were currently brought into the Baroque Empire .
And the remaining 300,000 troops were scattered all over the Volga, and Duke Kutzov wouldn’t have had the time to bring them all together .
‘Probably he is taking 100,000 troops in the capital and 30,000 men of the western regions . The Gigants would be of 400 to 500—if all the Gigants were considered, even the spare ones . But that won’t be enough at all!’
They might be able to wipe out the undead to some extent .
However, such a result with the loss of lives was meaningless . It was because the complete annihilation of the undead had to be achieved, so nothing horrible happens .
‘The number reported was millions . Even if my entire army is mobilized, it will be impossible to annihilate them . ’
If so, it would be best to use an appropriate terrain and forts to prevent the undead from entering the Volga .
But the problem was that there were too many of the undead, and the Volga Republic wasn’t prepared for such a thing .

Exactly a year back, the representatives of the fairies had informed him that they had to be prepared for an unforeseen situation that might come .
However, at that time, Vladimir was too eager to take down the Baroque Empire and ended up ignoring it .
Disappointed with his actions, the representatives of the fairies led their tribes into the Holy Empire or the Symphonia Kingdom .
‘If they stayed back, it would have been a great help now… well, now is not the time to regret . ’
Vladimir shook his head and gave orders .
“Tell Kutzov to not fight recklessly, but to gather troops to stop the advance of the undead and to evacuate the people, if we respond poorly, the number of the undead will only have an advantage over us . ”
-All right, Sire . By the way… when are you coming back to our nation?
“I will let you know at a later time . ”
After ending the magic communication with his men, Vladimir clenched his fist .
It was a national emergency in the most desperate of times .
He wanted to run back to the Volga Republic right away .
But even if he went there to see things, there were things he had to confirm in Baroque .
He spoke to Duke Dimitry, who was behind him .
“Look here, Duke . I have to meet the heads of the other nations . As soon as possible . ”
“I will ask them right away . ”
After hearing the magical communication, Dimitry nodded and immediately left the room to give his subordinates the orders .
As he left, Vladimir sighed .
“Phew, what the hell is going on?”
King Luke had told that the Libiya Kingdom had joined hands with the remnants of the Veritas Magic Tower .
However, in just a few months, he never imagined that a wave of undead would rush from the Libiya Kingdom .
“Were the fairies expecting this situation? Even if one has the ability of seeing the future, it is useless if the man is foolish . ”
The bitterness and guilt didn’t wash away from the face of Vladimir, who blamed himself for it .
