The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The never-before-seen magical weapons broke the noise on the battlefield and brought everything back to peace.

Those who were outside the explosion range were all staring at the open space where the magic power had exploded.

There should have been a team of magicians there, as well as archers responsible for suppressing the city walls, but at this moment, there was only bare ground.

The allied knights were frightened by the unknown attack. They turned around and retreated, leaving the castle.

All these people stared at the inexplicable magical attack in amazement, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

“…Quick! Go and ask the Lord!”

Something the knights had never seen before appeared on the battlefield, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.

Finally, some smart people thought of asking the lord, but unfortunately they didn't know that the lord who managed the legion had his home robbed by the northerners a few hours ago.

Messengers from several camps ran quickly towards the farm.

As a result, a group of soldiers dressed in strange clothes came from the farm.

The equipment of these soldiers was very strange, and there was no family emblem on their clothes. Only the leader, with a javelin on his back, had the aura of an adventurer.

"Who are you? Does the Lord have any orders?"

The coalition messenger who met Jack and his party thought that Jack was a guard from the lord's side.

However, what responded to him was Jack's unreserved javelin throwing.

The javelin made of fine iron pierced the messenger, causing him to fall from his horse and stick into the ground miserably.

"Raise the flag!"

Jack shouted, and Myron beside him immediately raised the flag.

This flag features a winter bear and is the family banner of Count Lucy.

Someone from the coalition recognized Lucy's flag. After all, the nobles had been communicating a lot with Lucy in recent times.

"What is Count Lucy going to do!"

"Those people attacked us!"

The special forces team led by Jack has less than a hundred people, but the aura they exude is very scary.

Jack didn't bother to waste time talking to these lousy knights, and led his men to charge towards the stunned legion.

A team of a hundred people took the initiative to attack enemies that were ten times their number, and on a plain that was most suitable for cavalry combat. Did they really think the allied knights were easy to deal with?

"My subordinates! Follow me to kill these northerners!"

A group of knights rushed towards Jack, but they were blown away by a can after they took just two steps on their horses.

Jack's side doesn't have many people, but they are equipped with the best equipment.

Jack took off the javelin behind him, tied an easy-to-throw treasure to it, and threw it hard into the enemy group.

The exploding fire tornado instantly destroyed the enemy's will.

Amid the wailing of the coalition forces, roars were also heard from Simon Castle.

Jack's detonation of YiTouBao was a signal for a pincer attack. After Simon saw Count Lucy's flag, he decisively led his guards, jumped off the city wall and fought back.

The scene just now was the coalition forces besieging Simon, but it changed in the blink of an eye.

Simon and Jack each led an elite team, like two arrows, to carve into the loose formation of the coalition forces.

"Dense formation, stop them!"

"Everyone, scatter! These magics are too terrible!"

"Retreat! There's no need to risk our lives here!"

The coalition forces without a commander would have no way to deal with emergencies.

Now, only the knights led by each family can make the decision on the spot.

Some families that had long been enemies with Simon wanted to use the power of the coalition to fight Simon.

Some knights who came just to join in the fun turned around and retreated when they found the situation was unfavorable.

Jack and Simon seized the opportunity and used their weapons and skills everywhere to kill as many confused Allied soldiers as possible.

The battle lasted only half an hour before the coalition forces' formation was completely broken up.

Those who were unwilling to suffer losses led their teams to withdraw from the battlefield early, while those who were left to fight to the death with Jack and Simon were unable to resist the endless tactics.

Jack and Simon worked together to kill the last commander who dared to resist.

The last Allied flag fell on the battlefield, announcing the final winner of the battle.

Simon!

"Ah! We won!"

"Goddess is on top!"

In the center of the battlefield, Simon, covered in blood, raised his broken sword and roared excitedly.

In Simon's Castle, Lee and Norton watched Simon vent his roar silently and felt very happy for him.

But compared to Li, who was just watching the fun, Norton was always a little worried.

Norton was not afraid of those nobles. Instead, what made Norton feel uneasy was Li in front of him.

"Mr. Li, thank you for your support to Simon and me. We will repay the debt as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, the amount you owe is just that much. I won't ask for interest, you can pay it back slowly."

"But... I'm afraid that I'll lose too much and end up losing myself."

Norton did not continue to play tricks. Today's battle had already made Norton feel how terrifying Lee was.

Lee only provided Simon with some small support, which enabled Simon to win the battle.

Their opponent was an alliance of nobles, with ten times more soldiers, but they still failed to suppress Simon's rise.

It seemed that Simon won the battle, but the biggest beneficiary was undoubtedly Li in front of him.

"Mr. Li, we have cooperated to this extent. Can you tell me why you are interfering in the affairs of the central kingdom?"

Norton asked the question in his mind tremblingly. He had already realized that Li had invested power in the central part of the kingdom and had great ambitions.

"There is nothing to hide. I want the kingdom to feel the power of the North and deepen the North's influence on the kingdom."

Norton only took a moment to think about it and understood Li's intention.

To deepen the influence of the North, to put it bluntly, this kind of battle is just the beginning.

"Are you planning to start a civil war and decide the outcome with the kingdom?!"

Li admired Norton's intelligence from the beginning. Seeing that he guessed his intention, Li nodded in acknowledgement.

After getting the confirmation, Norton immediately mobilized his brain and tried hard to think about what would happen next.

"Simon defeated the noble alliance. This event will surely cause a stir in the kingdom. No one will allow a new noble like Simon to rise to prominence through force, because if Simon can succeed, others can also succeed..."

Any low-ranking nobleman, by spending all his wealth on purchasing weapons, could compete with a great noble like an earl or even a marquis.

"If this were to come true, the kingdom's aristocratic system would collapse!"

Norton had a premonition that now was not the time to relax, because what awaited him and Simon next would be overt or covert targeting by countless nobles in the kingdom!

"Simon and I will be exhausted from dealing with the nobles' continuous attacks. Agriculture and industry will be abandoned. The only way for us to get supplies is to accept support from the North! You are using us as sword masters!"

Norton saw through Lee's arrangement, but he missed the opportunity to withdraw.

Now that Norton is tied to Simon, they can only follow Lee's script and charge to the front line of the conflict.

"Oh, Sir Norton, your wisdom is as high as the sky and as deep as the sea. You are right. I am indeed pushing you to the battlefield. I would like to call it a proxy war."
