The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Mueller and Edward stayed in a separate room for a long time, so long that the soldiers standing guard outside the door began to suspect that there was something wrong with their relationship.

With a click, the door of the room was pushed open suddenly. The soldier who had pricked up his ears to listen to the sound was frightened and quickly stood at attention.

"…Edward, are you sure what you said is true?"

“It really can’t be truer!”

When the two were talking alone, Edward told Mueller the whole process of his contact with Li and part of Li's plan.

What surprised Mueller the most was not Lee's little trick, but Edward's description of the combat effectiveness of various new weapons and the changes that the new tactics had brought to the battlefield.

"What you said, trench warfare, infantry-artillery coordination, and long-range bombing, all sound so weird. Are you really not trying to trick me with some fantasy stuff?"

No matter how Edward swore to prove it, Mueller still didn't believe Edward's statement.

Edward also felt Li's previous anxiety.

"I don't quite understand. Li Du came here in person, why are you still confused about these things?"

"Li? Just because he comes, do I have to believe him? He's not a god. How can I believe in a necromancer..."

"But Li can perform miracles, miracles that allow people to defeat gods."

Muller was so frightened that he trembled. He looked at Edward in disbelief. He couldn't imagine what position Edward was standing on to say such a ridiculous thing.

Seeing Muller's intense reaction, Edward knew that Muller, the arrogant Grand Duke, had never even looked at Li.

Edward didn't believe that Muller couldn't get detailed information about Li. He was the head of the Frere family. As long as he paid attention, Muller could know exactly what color pants Li was wearing today.

“…What I can understand is not that clear.”

Having said that, the only question is whether Mueller is willing to believe it.

No matter how much others explain, it will be useless.

"…Edward, I have a request. I hope to see new ways of fighting!"

Mueller bowed his head to Edward and made a heartfelt plea.

Muller is not a fool. Lee explained it himself, and Muller could choose not to believe it. But Edward also said so. Muller must be responsible for the garrison of the entire port city!

"A new way of fighting? I'll show you, but the demon here has just been beaten back. During this time..."

"Please rest assured, Lord Edward, the expenses of the Punishment Knights during this period of standby will be borne by the Port City!"

Although the knights led by Muller also lacked supplies, Muller could still afford to punish the knights.

"General Mueller, you know that's not what I care about..."

What Edward meant was that the sooner the changes in battlefield conditions were grasped, the better it would be for generals and soldiers. Muller's delay of several months due to his doubts might result in him falling behind step by step.

Muller saw what Edward was worried about, but Muller's experience of fighting for so many years told him that he should not abandon the principles he had always followed because of some small changes.

If Edward knew Muller's specific thoughts, he would definitely sneer at his old-fashionedness.

The changes brought by Li are not small changes!

...

Before actually seeing the results of the new tactics, Muller refused to believe Lee's words. Even Lee and Edward were not allowed to train a group of soldiers first.

This delay lasted for three months.

On this day, a scout holding a telescope discovered abnormalities in the waves at the seaside.

The usual white waves were covered in black stuff.

These black spots gathered more and more and quickly occupied the beach near the sea.

The scouts quickly sent out a signal, and the soldiers on the bell tower urgently rang the bell to sound the alarm.

Muller was not nervous when he heard the bell. Rather, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"Lord Edward, I'm sorry to have kept you here for three months. As for the defense of the temple, my Freyr family will do our best to compensate you!"

"General Muller, the Knights of Judgment and the legion you lead are brothers. If our battle can bring about a turnaround, everything will be worth it."

Edward was able to stay in the port city for three months with peace of mind because he believed in the abilities of his subordinates.

The soldiers of the Knights of Judgment have undergone special training in the use of new equipment, and the team is led by talented people such as Lucas and Saoirse.

Without Edward, the Knights of Punishment would not be able to hold their line, and the kingdom would be doomed to fall.

The confidence shown by Edward and his trust in his subordinates gave Mueller a strong shock.

Muller hasn't examined himself for a long time. He has always regarded himself as the backbone of the port city and believes that as long as he leaves, the port city will fall into crisis.

But is this really the case?

In such a large port city, there are so many experienced generals and soldiers. Muller thought carefully and felt that he might not be the necessary one.

If Li stood in front of Muller at this moment, he would tell Muller in refined words that the world will continue to turn regardless of who leaves.

"Punishment Knights, attack!"

Edward put on the armor that Muller envied and held the sword that Muller envied.

Watching Edward leading the Punishment Knights of less than 500 people rushing to the front of the defense line, Muller realized how wrong he was.

Without time to think more, Muller jumped on the horse and quickly came to Edward's side.

"Lord Edward, do you want Knight Freyr to cover the flank?"

The number of punitive knights led by Edward this time was too small, and they were easily surrounded by demons and caused serious damage.

It was he who invited Edward to demonstrate new tactics. Muller would feel bad if the Knights of Punishment suffered too great a loss.

"No need for that. If the demons get close, we will retreat and join forces with the infantry formation in the rear to repel the enemy!"

Edward is not stupid, he will not fight the devil to the death. After interacting with Li for a long time, Edward has learned to judge the situation and be slick.

Muller looked at the once toughest Punishment Knight and saw him say such stupid words, which made him doubt his life.

Does Li Zhen have such great magic power that he can change the stubborn Edward?

"Soldiers, show General Mueller the results of your training!"

"Yes!"

The Punishment Knights, which consisted of less than 500 men, issued a deafening shout.

Judging from the morale alone, the Punishment Knights are enough to attract attention.

Muller did not retreat. He stood beside Edward and watched the Knights of Punishment demonstrate new fighting methods.

Soon, Muller was shocked by the formation of the Knights of Punishment.

"No, retreat quickly! Those lightly armed soldiers can't stop the powerful demons, and their formation will be broken by the demons!"

Among the Punishment Knights, those standing at the front were not the soldiers with the strongest defense. Those soldiers who were only holding cans and not even wearing armor all ran to the front.

"Edward, do you want your men to die? Do you want them to die and create corpses for Vizor Lee?"

When Edward heard what Mueller shouted, he was stunned.

Even Edward felt inexplicably sad for Li. What kind of image did he have in his father-in-law's heart?
