The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Having warm hot water available in the middle of winter is a royal enjoyment.

Mueller didn't expect that it would be so easy to get hot water in Black von's coalition camp.

Muller admired in his heart the person who invented the iron stove.

"I met His Majesty the King before I came here and I know about your plan, so I came to help you."

"Your Majesty? How is His Majesty? He has been coughing for the past year. Is he feeling better now?"

"…I have no idea."

Both Archduke von and Muller could see the fearless attitude of facing death on the king's face.

The king they were loyal to might be dying soon.

"Feng, tell me about the situation here. I came here in a hurry, and I only know that the legion you led got entangled with a militia team."

"It's the Revolutionary Army."

Duke Feng organized his words and then began to talk about the situation of the revolutionary army.

"The leader of the revolutionary army is a brave man selected by that kid Li. Until now, that brave man has done a good job."

"That young hero is indeed remarkable, as he can compete with the legion you command."

"Ah? A fight between equals? Not really. The Revolutionary Army is very weak on the front battlefield and can't stop the Knights' charge at all."

Muller put down his teacup in confusion, not understanding why the fragile revolutionary army had caused Archduke Feng so much trouble.

"They can't withstand the Knights' charge? Why haven't you destroyed them yet?"

"This is where the revolutionary army is so powerful!"

Mr. Feng took a sip of tea to suppress the anger that had been accumulating recently.

"Those revolutionary soldiers are like weeds. Once you cut them, they grow back again. It's endless!"

Before the heavy snow fell, Archduke von led the allied knights to launch several attacks.

He had clearly disrupted the revolutionary army's formation, causing those civilians who had no war training to run around like headless flies.

But before long, another group of revolutionary soldiers would emerge and rush to the battlefield to confront the coalition forces again.

"That hero rarely led battles. He often went to villages in the countryside to gather villagers who had been swept away by nobles..."

The revolutionary army was extremely weak at the beginning, but after the common people who had hatred towards the nobles joined the team, the revolutionary army became more and more difficult to deal with.

However, this difficulty is only relative. They still cannot face the swords and iron hooves of the knights.

“…It sounds like that hero is doing good things.”

"Yes, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people joining the revolutionary army."

For the coalition of nobles, it would take a lot of effort to recruit civilians and slave soldiers.

However, the revolutionary army had a steady stream of people who came forward to sign up.

"Since the reputation of the Revolutionary Army has spread further and further, it has become increasingly difficult for us to recruit auxiliary troops."

"Now that you mention it, I really want to fight that hero on the battlefield!"

Mueller only met the brave man once, when he was looking for his daughter.

At that time, Muller didn't take the brave man seriously, but now he feels a little itchy.

I don't know if the hero is as powerful as my daughter...

I hope the brave can show some martial ethics and not throw those things called grenades around like Lian did.

"Come to think of it, I saw that the Revolutionary Army's camp seemed to have moved away. What on earth do they want to do by moving at this time?"

"I don't know. All the actions of the Revolutionary Army have no precedent. We can only summarize the rules afterwards."

"Aren't they afraid that if they move at this time, the soldiers will freeze to death or get frostbite?"

"They are really not afraid. The Revolutionary Army purchased a large amount of warm clothing from the merchants in the North."

Duke Feng lifted up his shirt, revealing the hot pack inside the lining of his clothes.

Mueller reached out and touched it, and found that the cloth bag attached to his clothes was warm.

"There's still good stuff like this! What have I been missing!"

Muller regretted not returning to the kingdom earlier. Now he really was like a country bumpkin who knew nothing.

"You should be glad you came late, otherwise you would be like me, with your hair falling out in clumps!"

Duke Feng grabbed his head and found a lot of half-gray and half-white hair caught between his fingers.

Duke Feng is already showing signs of baldness, which makes him very anxious.

"Back to the matter of the Revolutionary Army, is it appropriate for you to let them move so easily like this?"

"It's not a question of whether it's appropriate or not. I really can't do anything about them, especially in winter."

If it were summer, Duke Feng would not care about the actions of the revolutionary army at all. He only needed to organize a charge to disperse the revolutionary army.

But it is winter now, and the cold and snow will hinder the cavalry's speed. The cavalry without impact power will be just moving targets facing the rows of ray guns.

As for the Noble Alliance's own ray gun corps, their morale was not even as good as that of the farmers of the Revolutionary Army.

"Since it is inconvenient to pursue them, we can only send a reconnaissance team to follow them."

"you're right."

Duke Feng immediately called his adjutant and asked him to arrange a team of scouts.

"Go see where the revolutionary army has gone."

The adjutant withdrew as ordered, and the two grand dukes were left in the tent again.

They each drank a cup of hot water, and then found that there was nothing to talk about.

Duke Feng pondered for a long time and finally found a topic.

"Mueller, you don't seem to like your son-in-law very much."

Mueller glared at Grand Duke Feng fiercely. He had already warned him once that he didn't want to talk about topics related to Li.

Grand Duke Feng clicked his tongue and thought that Muller was still the same as before and didn't want to lose face at all.

Muller's face looked ugly. He had lost more face along the way than in the previous half of his life. So, Muller decided to fight back!

"Don't you have a daughter too? Your daughter has been engaged to the prince since she was young. When are you going to get them married?"

"My daughter..."

Whenever Lord Feng thought of his daughter, his heart ached.

Before taking over as commander of the allied forces, Duke Feng had just had a big fight with his daughter.

"My daughter said she didn't want to marry the prince. Prince Leon has a bad reputation. She wanted to marry an excellent man. That's fine, but she actually said Leon would not inherit the throne. When the current king dies, the royal family will be buried in the dust with the king. How could she, a little girl, hear such dangerous remarks?"

Muller was stunned. Old Feng was really bold to say that. Wasn’t he afraid that someone would hear it and bring disaster upon himself?

Duke Feng, however, looked indifferent.

"Everyone is saying that the royal family will be destroyed. The nobles have also tacitly accepted this possibility, and no one has been arrested and tried~"

When the kingdom and the temple controlled everything, it was indeed dangerous to talk about the royal family, but now, it’s up to whoever you want to love!

Duke Feng stood up, put on his coat and prepared to go out.

After walking a few steps, Archduke von turned and asked Muller.

"I'm bloated from drinking too much water. Do you want to go pee together?"

Mueller put the cup down and followed Archduke von directly.

The two of them walked towards the toilet arm in arm, just like they did when they were kids.
