I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

According to rough estimates, the number of monsters that attacked the city in the early morning was around ten thousand.

After more than an hour of fighting, the monsters left behind nearly five thousand corpses.

More than 300 soldiers were killed in action, and more than 400 were seriously wounded or disabled!

In addition to the soldiers, dozens of adventurers who went to support the battle also died.

This is the news that Anno heard after waking up.

Such battle losses are within an acceptable range.

Warrengol already had 50,000 troops stationed there.

Now, with the addition of more than 20,000 soldiers who have come to provide support, there are a total of 70,000 soldiers here.

With the city's fortifications, we are confident we can hold off an army of 100,000 undead.

After learning all this, Anno sensed Asar's current condition.

Yesterday, when the monster army retreated, Anno sent Asar to infiltrate the monster army as a spy.

Asar followed the defeated army back to the rear, but this retreating demon force dared not approach the undead army.

The area where the undead army once stood has become a cursed land.

Monsters that enter this area will gradually lose their minds and turn into undead zombies!

The place where the monsters were staying was a full ten kilometers away from the undead army led by the Lich King.

Moreover, hordes of demons would frequently arrive from the territory occupied by the Demon King to join this group.

The group was in complete chaos, with monsters even fighting each other over minor squabbles.

But as long as it's not a large-scale battle, the leading sixth-tier lich doesn't care at all.

In such a place, Asa easily obtained some information.

For example, the monsters that gathered here all lived within the Demon King's territory.

They received orders from the Demon King to go to the front lines and attack human cities.

No demon dared to disobey the Demon King's orders.

Moreover, since this is an attack on humans, the monsters are very eager to participate.

Upon learning this information, Anno understood the origin of the tens of thousands of monster troops that had been killed by the garrison of Volunger.

So this wasn't a legitimate demon army at all.

They are all monsters living in villages, obeying the Demon King's orders.

Why not wait until the number of monsters reaches tens of thousands before launching a joint attack on the city?

What can the Lich King gain by sending these waves of soldiers to their deaths, other than depleting Volenger's resources and a few soldiers?

Moreover, soldiers become even stronger after killing monsters and experiencing war!

"The Lich King, ranked third among the Seven Demon Generals, couldn't possibly be unaware of this principle. So why did he still choose to do it?"

Does the Lich King have extreme confidence in his own power?

Should not!

The Lich King must know his whereabouts have been exposed, and the Alliance will send something capable of confronting him to guard Volengol, or even something to counter him!

With so little information at the moment, Anno has no way of figuring out the reason.

"If we can get into the undead army, we should be able to gather some useful information!"

Asa was originally a zombie.

It is completely unaffected by the cursed earth.

It is even stronger within the area of ​​the cursed land.

So Anno began to manipulate Asar away from where the monsters were and head towards where the undead army was.

After traveling for most of the day, Asa finally arrived at the location of the army of the dead.

The surrounding area was filled with first- and second-tier skeletons and rotting zombies.

With the added bonus from the cursed land, their attributes are significantly higher than those of humans of the same level!

Under the suppression of rank, these undead would instinctively make way for Asar when he approached.

However, they cannot communicate.

The closer you go to the center, the higher the level of the undead race.

The third-tier undead race already possessed the ability to think and communicate, but they knew nothing when asked.

When a skeleton knight riding a bone warhorse came into view, Anno immediately steered Asar toward him.

"Hey bro, what are you doing?"

Asar stood in front of the skeleton knight, waved his hand, and asked.

The undead fire in the skeleton knight's eyes flickered a few times, then he stared at Asar and said, "Routine patrol, what brings you here?"

After a moment's thought, Anno replied, "I was just wondering, we've been here for so long, when exactly are we going to attack human cities?"

Those low-level guys have already fought several times, when will it be our turn?

Anno pointed in the direction where the monsters that had come to obey orders were gathered, his tone somewhat unwilling.

He deduced that the undead looked down on the monsters who had been transferred there, and his resentful tone was also a way of masking his true motive for asking the question.

The monster-infested area also has undead people, who were probably sent by the Lich King to maintain order.

But the mid-level undead there all acted superior and indifferent towards the monsters.

Some mid-level monsters got hungry and asked the undead who were overseeing them for food.

The latter completely ignored it.

If you ask for it too many times, you'll get beaten up by the mid-level undead.

Driven by extreme hunger, the powerful monster had no choice but to grab and devour the weaker monsters around it, its mouth splattered with blood.

No one cares about such a scene.

Anno guessed that this was also the reason why the monsters fled into the mountains and forests after their failed attack on Warrengel and did not return.

When the Skeleton Knight heard Anno's question, his jaw dropped, and he burst out laughing—Anno didn't know how the skeleton could laugh, and could only attribute it to the characteristics of magical creatures.

"You don't know the reason?"

Upon hearing this, Anuo immediately leaned closer and whispered, "I don't know, do you know why?"

Skeleton Knight: "I don't know either!"

After saying that, the skeleton knight rode away on his skeleton horse!

Anno stared blankly at the departing skeleton knight.

Don't you know why you're laughing?

"Tch, are all the undead this twisted?"

Anno manipulated Asar to continue wandering around, trying to gather some useful information.

On the other side, after running a distance, the Skeleton Knight looked back at Asar's position, the ghostly flames in his eye sockets throbbing wildly.

"Members of the undead legion never ask when they go to battle, nor when they leave! Only... the Lich King's will!"
