The humans have us at our physical limits. I cannot help but think what the honorable Bar Khan will say when he finds out. Do not let the humans leave this fight. Go to battle.”
At that moment, he used Yell to command all the undead that he had gathered from the fortress.
“This, these humans must be eliminated.”
“I fight for Bar Khan.”
The Death Knights and the Doom Knights continued to rise to fight.
Pollon’s unit wiped them out again. However Weed did suffer some losses. From the consecutive defeats, his reputation with the Undead Legion’s had deteriorated considerably.
“I heard that the undead unit had to return again.”
“I hear that there’s an incompetent Doom Knight. He’s not reliable enough to take care of some humans. He must have no pride.”
Weed was not handling the undead forces delicately. He simply came back and collected more undead. The original task of hunting down the elves and dwarves would have been nice if Bar Khan or the dragons had come along. The excitement of being known as a dragon knight. There never had been such an entity on the Continent of Versailles. Leading the undead army, with a dragon to burn down human villages would have been exciting and aggressive!
“It would have been nice if we weren’t so close to Morata…”
Unfortunately the closest large city was Morata. However, all of it would become useless once he betrayed Bar Khan. He properly utilized the undead for this purpose. Once they had scrambled the Knights, they had no longer bothered to fire silver or magic.
“Thankfully there’s a lot of silver. The skeletons I summoned were beaten! Such a waste of mana. They couldn’t manage to killed one or two knights before they died.”
For trying to fail his quest, Weed was paying their cowardice back a hundredfold!
One Silver Arrow, two Silver Arrows, he was collecting them to make silver bullions. Weed laughed as the silver continued to pile up.
“Keulkeulkeul. This is the best hunting ground.”
Pollon and the Hermes Guild could not manage to kill Weed.
“We can’t make any mistakes when it comes to catching him…he ran away the very moment I saw him.”
“We need to take advantage of the rangers’ and mages’ attack range. To take him down we need to move into another formation.”
Weed only watched the undead battle from the back and then returned to the Undead Legion camp. Weed’s only goal was to get more knights. Pollon led the vanguard but he could not stop the undead from leaving. Every time they were left with less knights and Weed only came back with more undead. It was having a cheaper lunch than your friends in preschool!
“Keulkeulkeulkeul.”
Weed was the worst. Still they continued to watch Weed on the TV and Weed provoked them by having a wagon filled with the silver dragged along by skeletons. They deliberately slowed the pace of the undead to gather silver. Sometimes they would be dancing or walking backwards. Compared to a villain that showed up on TV and movies, supported him.
“This is a bad situation.”
As the battle continued, Pollon’s forces began to accumulate damages. The knights were all high level and very experienced players but there were still damages. Since there were more NPCs than user, their size had been reduced considerably. Even a lot of Pollon’s valued knights were gone.
“Our job is to hunt him so a surprise attack would be better.”
Pollon: It does not make sense to stay here. Weed will not allow us to kill him in this situation and will retreat if we try.
Pollon opened the communication channel with the Hermes Guild leaders. He was calling for immediate aid from the magical division. Without commands they were not allowed to make a move.
Rafael: Controlling your area is important. They had already recruited the necromancers and there are many people watching the battle on TV. How are you incapable of killing Weed? Do not move your unit until you succeed.
Pollon: We are in plain sight. Even with magic and arrows we only have so much range. There is no benefit to this order. We do not have a large enough force for that.
Rafael: I command you to stay. Continue to interfere with Weed’s quest.
The Hermes Guild no longer cared about stopping Weed’s quest. It was enough for the guild leaders to hold Weed in place.

“It’s strange that they’re not avoiding battles.”
Weed continued to attack Pollon’s Hermes Guild unit with the undead relentlessly. Meanwhile Pale’s party and the Geomchis had arrived from Morata to hunt Bar Khan. When they heard news of the endless battle they came riding their bulls.
“Keoheom, so we’re here now.”
Geomchi3 descended from his bull and looked at Pollon’s unit of archers.
“It’s still not over yet?”
“Sahyung, that must be our share that’s left behind.”
Pollon had suffered a lot of damage since he was only focusing on defense. They had used magic and arrows to attack the undead as they came closer but they suffered a lot of damage from the undead as the fight went on. Their total of 200 knights had now decreased to 127.
Out of the one thousand mage and archers, there were only 130 left intact. Comparably, Weed’s Undead Legion was not badly injured while 73 of Pallon’s units were in bad condition. The very same Knight units from the Kingdom of Haven that could occupy a castle were now in such a state. Geomchi got off of his bull and took out the food ingredients.
“Weed, I’m starving. I want to eat some grilled meat.”
