The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

A newsboy carrying a large backpack ran quickly on the street, and his cheerful voice reached the ears of every passerby.

"Extra, Extra~ Brotherhood Daily urgently adds an extra edition. Yesterday, the Brotherhood raided the Eye of Truth factory and uncovered the truth about the sweatshop!"

"The devil actually disguised himself as a factory owner to enslave the human race. The Eye of Truth magician openly colluded with the devil!"

"The Eye of Truth uses the factory as a cover to carry out bloody and evil research!"

“Child laborers are transformed into demons. Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?”

Newspapers published by the Brotherhood instantly filled every street and alley, and the conflict that took place at the Eye of Truth factory yesterday was vividly described in the newspapers and spread to thousands of households.

"…They didn't give us food, but only gave us a strange liquid to drink. After drinking it, our bodies would be in great pain, scales would grow on our skin, our fingers and toes would become twisted, and we would grow a tail?"

As Mr. Feng read this strange interview article, his head was full of question marks.

"This is fake. Northerners are the best at making up fake news to attract attention."

"No, it's true."

Maria took the newspaper back from Archduke von, turned to the entertainment section, and read the gossip, interesting jokes and intellectual games.

"The child Ethan was indeed fed a potion by the magician of the Eye of Truth and transformed into a half-demon creature. I saw it with my own eyes."

Maria had provided treatment to Ethan, so she naturally knew Ethan's specific condition.

Although the newspapers published by the Brotherhood were a bit exaggerated, the magician of the Eye of Truth did commit unforgivable crimes.

“…Even if all this is true, and those magicians are creating demons, I can’t spare any effort right now!”

Maria came to see Grand Duke Feng, hoping to use his channels to get in touch with the kingdom.

It would be even better if Grand Duke Feng could dispatch part of the army to help clear out the magicians of the Eye of Truth and any possible hidden demons.

However, although Grand Duke Feng knew the seriousness of the situation, he still refused to offer help.

It’s not that Grand Duke von didn’t want to help, but the coalition of nobles led by him was completely held back by Simon.

"You can see that the Doma Plain has become a meat grinder. The two newly assembled legions of the coalition forces were thrown in and didn't even make a splash!"

The Doma Plain was originally a neat land, but after the confrontation between the noble coalition and the Simon Legion, the land became full of gullies and dotted with bomb craters of various sizes.

The winding trenches were dug like the coils of earthworms.

The place where the two armies met was filled with chevaux de frise and stones.

On the battlefield, you can still use cavalry at the beginning, but now, you can only use soldiers equipped with ray guns to slowly grind them down.

Even more hateful were the magicians in the coalition forces. They were unwilling to stay in the muddy trenches and were even more afraid of dying on the battlefield.

This resulted in Duke Feng, who was originally the attacking party, being unable to make any breakthroughs.

"Grand Duke Feng, are you sure you don't want to allocate manpower to search for demons? This is a just act that can earn you fame."

Duke Feng also knew that fighting against demons could increase his reputation, but he really couldn't spare the manpower.

"Most of the coalition forces are good-for-nothings. I can't send my own soldiers out to look for some demons."

Maria tried to persuade him several times, but Grand Duke Feng finally did not agree to participate in the hunt for the devil.

Maria felt helpless. She knew it was pointless to bring it up again, so she simply skipped the topic.

"Then let's settle the medical bill."

Maria's field hospital provided medical care to injured soldiers, which reduced casualties on the battlefield by double digits.

The nobles in the coalition were willing to pay for their own lives, and even the knights and soldiers were willing to pay Maria for her treatment.

When people buy things, they will subconsciously bargain, but when purchasing medical services, they never care about how much it costs.

Maria received a large amount of silver, money and food supplies from Grand Duke Feng, and these supplies will become the basis for the operation of the concession hospital.

After Maria got the things, she was about to leave Grand Duke Feng's camp, but she saw a commotion coming from the battlefield in the distance.

The first to riot were the soldiers inside the front line, and the riot spread from inside to outside and all the way to the camp.

Archduke von walked out of the tent without paying any attention to Maria who was loading supplies.

"What happened on the battlefield! Fetch me my telescope!"

The adjutant was the first to run over with a telescope and handed it respectfully to Grand Duke Feng. When Grand Duke Feng put the telescope to his eyes, he happened to see the messenger running towards the camp.

The messenger brought back the latest information from the front line, but before he could report, Duke Feng had already seen something unusual on the battlefield.

The Simon Legion, which had been confronting the noble coalition for nearly two months, was now withdrawing on a large scale.

Those Simon Army soldiers who hid in the trenches and fired cold shots from time to time were now nowhere to be seen.

A large group of soldiers were leaving the trench area and retreating outside the battlefield. This abnormal phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of Grand Duke Feng.

"Report! The Simon Army is retreating, they are retreating!"

The messenger who ran back from the front line reported the same news.

"Why are they retreating? What's the situation with Simon's army?"

"Ah, this..."

The messenger only came to report, but the commander asked him why.

How could he know why? If he knew why, would Duke Feng still be the leader?

"Continue the investigation! Make sure you find out the situation of the Simon Army!"

"Yes!"

For the soldiers, the retreat of Simon’s army was a good thing, as they finally didn’t have to fight to the death anymore.

But for Grand Duke Feng, who commands the army, the unknown means risk.

It turned out that Duke Feng's worries were necessary, because terrible news soon came from the rear.

"Report! The Brotherhood headed by the brave man announced that they want to rescue all compatriots who are struggling in misery. They are forming a legion and have occupied several arsenals in the concession area!"

"what!"

Grand Duke Feng was so shocked that he was speechless. He knew why Simon retreated, because Simon had lost his value.

The North supported Simon in waging a proxy war in order to create chaos in the central part of the kingdom and provide a good excuse for the Northmen to march south.

Now that the Northerners have achieved their goal, it doesn't matter what happened to Simon anymore. What Grand Duke Feng will face next will be the vicious Northern Legion!

"Oh my Goddess, this is all happening so fast!"

Duke Feng tightened his belt which had become loose due to tension, and raised his hand to call important officers and staff to enter the military tent for a meeting.

"The northerners have torn off their veils. The exiles are planning to attack the Kingdom of Fusion. We are the Kingdom's army closest to them. We must form a defense line and slow down those people!"

Duke Feng shouted urgently in the military tent, but few people responded.

Looking at the expressions of the other people in the tent, they acted as if they were not aware of the situation.

"Grand Duke Feng, it's a good thing that Simon is withdrawing his troops. We can dismiss the redundant soldiers and restore peace to the central part of the kingdom..."

"You stupid goose! If you don't have brains, at least have eyes. Go read the newspaper, you bastard!"

Duke Feng threw the newspaper and military report on the slow-witted officer's face. He really wanted to rebel and join the Northerners' team!
