The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

"Report! The new weapons provided by the Kingdom have arrived!"

The role of new weapons in new types of wars cannot be ignored. After discovering this, the kingdom has stepped up its efforts to crack and copy these new weapons.

The kingdom’s industrialization level is not good, but the kingdom has a lot of magicians at its disposal.

Duke Feng stood up and left the tent, took the crowbar handed to him by his men, and pried open the wooden box that had been moved to the middle of the camp.

The new equipment, which is more rounded than the Northland Ray Gun and feels more like a magic wand, lies quietly in the wooden box.

The aesthetic taste of the kingdom's magicians cannot accept the rough style of the North, so the appearance of the ray gun is a bit like a large staff.

Duke Feng picked up the staff from the box, fiddled with it for a bit, and found that it was very uncomfortable to hold.

The Northern Ray Gun was used by Grand Duke Feng. It was a long structure placed on the shoulder, which made it easy to aim at the target.

However, the staff-like weapons made by the kingdom can only be held in one hand and release fireballs and wind blades into the distance.

"Didn't I mention this before? These weapons are for the militia. They don't need to be fancy, nor do they need such large magic stones!"

"Your Excellency the Duke, the Mage Association refuses to provide magic products to civilians. This batch of lightweight staffs is for the apprentice mages in the legion. They also said that the noble knights and magic legions are enough for Your Excellency the Grand Duke to win..."

Duke Feng pulled his subordinate over and interrupted him harshly.

"Tell those stupid mages in the rear that if they don't do as I ask, I will lead my troops back and clean out those disobedient rubbish!"

It has been two weeks since Grand Duke Feng took over the Central War Zone. Since his last meeting with Simon, Grand Duke Feng has been busy preparing for war.

He didn't dare to underestimate Simon who had the support of the people of the North. As a result, those arrogant magicians in the kingdom dared to make trouble for Grand Duke Feng!

"It really pisses me off!"

"Grand Duke Feng, calm down. We already know what the nobles and magicians of the kingdom are like."

Maria came before Archduke von and used holy light to calm his agitated emotions.

"The meaning of this war is different from the previous ones. Those people are simply brainless!"

The lack of support from the rear of the kingdom made Duke Feng very angry.

"…Contact the merchants in the concession for me. I want to buy the Armed Corps' ray guns and Yi Tou Bao from them!"

"Your Excellency, isn't this a bad idea? We are using the weapons of the Northerners, which is not helping to embolden the Northerners..."

"Do as I arrange, and don't let me say it a second time!"

Duke Feng displayed the murderous aura of many years of fighting, and the adjutant became completely obedient and dared not raise any more questions.

After Duke Feng demonstrated his majesty, the camp's operating efficiency actually improved a lot.

"These people are all bastards. If we don't punish them severely, they won't know how to work! I'm sorry to make you laugh, Saint Lady."

"…Grand Duke Feng, I can't calm down. I always feel that something bad is going to happen."

"Maria, you are too nervous. This is a battlefield, it is normal for bad things to happen!"

Maria has tried her best to adjust her mood, but after all, she grew up bathed in holy light, and she can never agree with something like war.

"Report! Simon's vanguard was spotted in the valley, less than thirty miles away from our camp!"

"Bring the map! Notify all combat units to equip themselves with armor and pick up weapons!"

The battle was about to begin, and Duke Feng immediately focused all his attention on the battle that was about to begin.

Grand Duke von summoned his subordinates and the noble knights who were participating in the war.

"I knew Simon would not settle for mediocrity. He really took the initiative to attack!"

The meeting with Simon allowed Grand Duke von to understand Simon's character. While preparing for war, Grand Duke von never relaxed his reconnaissance of the surrounding areas.

Duke Feng opened the map, checked the enemy's position, and immediately discovered the problem.

"I sent out so many scouts, but Simon ended up being thirty miles away. Are today's soldiers so unreliable?"

Duke Feng's angry questioning made everyone lower their heads and dare not look at him.

Simon's army is indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to eliminate all spies.

The fact that the enemy was discovered only when they arrived near the military camp could only prove one thing, that is, most of the scouts sent out were lazy.

No one wanted to take responsibility for the reconnaissance error, and everyone lowered their heads and avoided the gaze of Duke Feng.

Duke Feng looked very angry on the surface, but he was relieved in his heart.

The first battle with Simon will not be too large in scale, and Archduke von can use his numerical advantage to make up for the mistakes in pre-war reconnaissance.

Now, Grand Duke von has established his prestige in the military camp. Whenever he makes a decision in the future, those soldiers and knights who are used to being lazy will have to consider whether their necks are strong enough.

"The battle is about to begin, I'm going to take command..."

Grand Duke Feng was just about to tell Maria to take care of herself, but he only heard a low hum.

The sound that made people's hair stand on end stimulated Duke Feng, who had a strong sense of crisis.

Grand Duke Feng subconsciously threw Maria to the ground, and the next moment, the originally quiet marching tent was engulfed in flames.

Archduke von and Maria avoided the center of the explosion, and the aftermath failed to penetrate their armor and magical defenses.

They survived, but the feeling of being on the verge of death could not be dispelled for a long time.

"General! General Feng! Simon is calling!"

"Your Excellency the Duke! We must fight back!"

"Where are the men, where are my soldiers, come and put on my armor!"

In the camp that was hit, everyone was in chaos. Fortunately, Duke Feng survived, otherwise the situation would definitely get out of control.

Archduke von had no time to comfort Maria. He pushed her to the soldier beside him and hurriedly mounted the warhorse brought by his adjutant.

"Simon that bastard! How dare he!"

Duke Feng was both frightened and angry, and he directly used powerful magic weapons to attack the military camp, which was beyond the common sense of previous wars.

Maria could only watch silently as Grand Duke Feng rode away on his horse. Many people in the camp followed Grand Duke Feng and rushed to the battlefield. The camp soon became quiet.

The light from the burning tent reflected in Maria's eyes. Besides the light from the fire, there were also dead bodies lying near the tent.

The person who was still alive the moment before lost his life in an instant just because of a magic bomb that flew from nowhere.

Maria walked over to a dead body and touched its cheek.

The soldier who had just died was still warm and looked not much different from when he was alive.

Only those lifeless eyes were staring blankly at the sky.

"The goddess will lead you to heaven, where there is no war, no hunger and no disease. You will be surrounded by happiness, and you will be accompanied by fine wine and delicious food..."
