Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Chapter 297 The War Is Approaching

Following Cardan's gesture, a skeleton soldier appeared.

Snap! The skeleton soldier's jaws moved as if waiting for Cardin to give an order.

"what?"

"Why are the skeleton soldiers colored like this?"

"Why do we feel majesty from the skeleton soldiers?" Seeing Cardan's skeleton soldiers, people showed puzzled expressions and shook their heads.

Only the Guardians who have experienced the battlefield with Charlotte can recognize the true identity of the Skeleton Soldiers.

"Dragon Tooth Soldiers..."

"Is that the undead that Charlotte summoned when she was fighting the demons?"

"It looks stronger than Charlotte's Dragon Fang Soldier. Has Cardin... surpassed his father?" Dimitar, Gilbert and Philip couldn't help but express their joy.

“This guy has reached Charlotte’s level.”

“It’s natural to have confidence.”

"The key is how many Dragon Fang soldiers can be summoned." While the guardians were immersed in thought, Mercenary King Jade shook his head and asked Cardin.

"I sense an unusual aura coming from these guys. But, they are just skeleton soldiers after all, right?" Cardin pointed at the Dragon Tooth Soldiers and Jed immediately nodded and stood up.

"Okay, let's try it." Swish. Jed picked up the spear on the ground and immediately threw it at the Dragon Tooth Soldier.

Whoosh! Although there was no magic power wrapped around it, the speed was too fast for ordinary people to follow. The spear thrown out quickly immediately hit the Dragon Tooth Soldier's head.

Crack! It looked like the skull would be pierced, but the dragon's head bounced Jed's spear back.

"what? What?"

"It's okay even if Master Jade's spear hits you?"

"Although there is no magic power wrapped around them, they are just skeleton soldiers, right?"

"Are all the skeleton soldiers of a 9-star Necromancer like this?" In an instant, everyone in the conference room was stunned.

Skeleton soldiers are lower-level undead that can be easily shattered by attacks wielded by ordinary people.

Although they are skeleton soldiers summoned by a 9-star Necromancer, they are incredibly tough to withstand a blow from the Mercenary King.

"Huh..." The most surprised person was the mercenary king who made the attack.

"This isn't something that can be easily penetrated by the entanglement of magic power." Why are the skeleton soldiers so hard?

It was obvious that the spear was thrown with the sincere intention of piercing the skull's head.

Kah? The skeleton soldier tilted his head and looked at Cardin. His expression seemed to tell him whether he could attack or not.

"If we summon so many skeleton soldiers to the battlefield, it's possible." Jed replied, retracting the spear he had thrown.

At this time, people thought. Fortunately, Cardan was a friendly army. Although he did not use magic to attack, he was a skeleton soldier who could withstand the attack of the mercenary king.

If you have to deal with the undead army composed of skeleton soldiers, you will naturally feel fear.

Thanks to the Mercenary King's approval? Those who originally opposed Cardin's opinion also shut up and just nodded.

"Cardan. There's more to show us, right?" Gilbert, lost in thought, asked Cardan cautiously, and Cardan answered with a smile.

"If that were all, I wouldn't have gathered everyone here." The Dragon Fang Soldiers are just the tip of the iceberg. Gilbert nodded at Cardin's confident words.

"Dimitar. This level should be fine, right?"

"Yes. At this level, we can leave it to the battlefield." Dimitar looked at Cardin and smiled.

"It's only been a short time since I trained you, and you've grown to this level. Young people are really scary. Their growth rate is scary." After Dimitar's approval, Philip said to Cardin this time.

"Well, now it's time to think about how to lure the demons to the Glory Plains. Do you have a plan for that?"

"Any special plans? As long as we are on the battlefield, it will be enough to make the demons salivate." Cardin answered easily and Philip laughed.

"Hahaha! Yes. I thought too complicatedly. It's a problem that can be solved with simple thinking." So now it's time to decide the day of the decisive battle.

"Then, except for the minimum number of troops left in each city, all others will gather here." Dimitar said, looking at Gilbert and Belid.

"Gilbert, Belid. Leading the troops will require the two of you to work hard. Is that okay?"

"No problem." "It can be done." After the two nodded in response, Dimitar asked Cardin.

"Cardan. When are you planning on doing that?"

"Don't be anxious. Since this is the final battle, we must be thoroughly prepared."

"If people here pursue perfection, I don't know when it will end. It would be better to set a date." Dimitar's words made Cardin ponder for a while.

Then, seemingly finished thinking, Cardin looked at the people in the conference room and answered.

"As long as we can resupply, a month will be enough." One month is a negligible amount of time to make further progress.

That month was just time for resupply and mental preparation.

No objection. Everyone in the meeting room knew it. If we started working hard to improve our strength now, it wouldn't make much difference.

"I have to say goodbye to my mother."

"It's better to spend time with children." Therefore, before going to the battlefield, it is best to spend sufficient time with family and acquaintances and be mentally prepared.

"agree."

"I agree."

"I agree too." After the three guardians expressed their agreement, everyone in the conference room nodded.

Feeling that the situation had been sorted out, Dimitri slowly stood up and spoke to the people.

"That's all for today's meeting. Thank you all for your hard work."

The new Jack Carter's Pub 'Cat's Dinner' in City Douglas.

"Looking at it this way, it feels like a class reunion." People from the Hero Academy gathered in the tavern.

"Are these the only students from the Hero Academy who survived?" Klose Douglas and his two friends Lucas and Arad.

The necromancer Esther and Matthias who graduated early. There are only these five students in the second and third grades.

"However, most of the students survived." Blanche, Alvis, Kalia, and three talkative people, Human, Brent, and David.

Including Cardin, there are a total of 7 survivors who finished their studies at Hero Academy as first-year students.

"Tsk. I wonder what happened to that guy Leiden?" Leiden, who was always looking for trouble when he was a student at the Hero Academy, did not show up.

Graduation day was the last time I saw Lyden.

"The atmosphere right now isn't appropriate to ask that." The reunited people greeted each other, enjoyed glasses of wine that they had never dreamed of in the past, and had a great time.

Would it be a bit of a spoilsport to raise questions about Leiden in such a pleasant atmosphere?

"Cardan, that guy is the weirdest, isn't he? He became an 8 star in three years and a 9 star in three months?"

"If we keep going like this, it will become 10 stars in three days, right?"

"Do 10 stars really exist, idiot?" The talkative trio, Human, Brent, and David, looked the most excited.

Thanks to the lively atmosphere they created, everyone in the pub was smiling.

"Mr. Cardin. I'll do it myself now. Go chat with your friends." Cardin had been helping Jack Carter with food and wine, and Jack Carter said it was okay now and pushed Cardin's back.

"Okay, I got it." Cardin smiled and immediately picked up the beer glass and walked to the other side.

The first place he went was where the third graders gathered.

"Seniors, how are you doing?" Cardin approached with a smile, and Klose patted Cardin's back gently with his palm as if to welcome him.

Tsk! Tsk!

"Even without using magic, there is still a brutal force." Of course, the mood was not bad. It was not for violence, but out of genuine welcome, which was Klose's unique way of greeting.

"Cardan! Sit down!" Klose said that after Cardan sat down, Lucas and Arad started talking.

"Cardan. How are you? You saved us last time, and now we are also active on the front line."

"Thank you very much. Thank you again. I thought we would die without moving." The two people who were imprisoned in the city's Robain Prison by Pecos have now fully recovered.

Seeing them gain weight again, I couldn't help but laugh.

"It's good to be healthy again." Cardin said with a smile, and this time it was Klose's turn to raise his fist to Cardin.

"Cardan. You are our benefactor. We will always support you. I leave this war to you."

"I heard that Senior Klose is going to lead the resistance, is that right?"

"Mercenary King Jade and Mr. Chris, who will become the leader of the Colin Firth Knights, will help." Klose will lead the resistance forces at the forefront, and Lucas and Arad will of course go to the battlefield with him.

"Is Senior Esther also at the front line?" Cardin turned around and asked Esther, who had her white hair tied up.

"Yeah. The Necromancer's advantages can be better utilized on the battlefield." Cardan chuckled, immediately opened the space and took out a book from it.

"Please accept this, Senior."

"what is this?"

"Did you hear what I heard just now? I went to the City of the Dead. I met Professor Isaac there." Esther's eyes widened when she heard what Professor Isaac said.

"really?"

"Yes. He is probably somewhere on the Road of the Dead now. He said he wanted to know the destination of the soul and left." Cardan's next words made Esther lower her head in regret.

"Looks safe?"

"Yes. He told me to say hello to my senior. And that book is a compilation of what I learned in the City of the Dead. I hope it will be helpful to you."

"How can you give away such a precious secret book so easily?"

"What's so precious? If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask." Would someone give someone this kind of secret book so easily?

Esther tried to refuse by saying she couldn't accept such a thing.

"I've learned it all anyway. If you become stronger through reading that book, wouldn't that be helpful to the kingdom?"

"Well, that's right."

"After the war, we still need to train necromancers. I'm not good at teaching others, so I'd like to ask you for help."

"what?"

"We will revitalize the Hero Academy. Please let me be the Necromancer instructor." Cardin chuckled and urged him to take the book quickly.

"Thank you, thank you..." Esther bowed her head deeply and carefully took the book handed to her by Cardin.

"Then take your time drinking. I'll go meet my classmates and be back." Cardin stood up and this time walked towards where the classmates were gathered.

"Why is Senior Mathias sitting here?"

"I just played with my seniors, and now I want to play with my juniors. I don't have any friends in the same grade, so I'm sad."

Mathias chuckled, and Cardin tried to hide his sad feelings and nodded. Among the second-year graduates of Hero Academy, only Mathias survived.

"No, I'm not depressed. Everyone's sacrifice is heroic. I'm proud of them." Matthias raised his glass with a smile.

"Senior! I want to drink too!"

"I'll drink too!"

"Sorrow shared is halved!" The chatterbox trio, already drunk, raised their glasses to cheer Mathias up.

At this time, Alves seized the opportunity and asked carefully.

"Have you heard any news about Leiden?" Alves, who had been ignored by Leiden since the entrance exam, actually mentioned Leiden's name.

Cardin, Kalia and Blanche looked at Alves in surprise, their eyes wide.

"Haha...Isn't it a bit weird to ask this in this atmosphere?" Alves seemed to have accidentally ruined the atmosphere and tried to change the subject. At this time, Kalia spoke slowly.

"I've heard about it from the Revolutionary Group, but I'm not sure." Kalia continued, breathing calmly.

"Leiden's family. The Montclair family seems to have joined the demon clan."
