But now, reality had given him a cruel slap!

"… Damn it…"

Ansell knew that the Renner Kingdom would be hard to deal with, but he still accepted this mission. He was clear that the harder the mission, the more precious his victory would be. It would be an entirely different concept from when he led the Undead Army to take down more than half of the Renner Kingdom as compared to taking down more than half of the Kingsley's Kingdom territories, even though the Kingsley's Kingdom was much larger than the Renner Kingdom in terms of territory.

But the extent of difficulties in attacking the Renner Kingdom was far harder than he had expected.

As Kade was a well-respected commander, Ansell had given plenty of consideration for this ambush. Even though the Renner Kingdom was formidable, they definitely wouldn't set up defenses in the very first minute. Of course, with their strength, they could respond quickly as soon as they detected the attack and this would require Ansell's army to be fast, aggressive, and ferocious enough in order to secure the victory. This way, even if they paid a return visit, he would have enough space to deal with them. If the Renner Kingdom was a large flatbread, Ansell's method would be as though to take a huge bite no matter if he could swallow it or not. At least that part of the bread was in his mouth and that was more than enough.

Unfortunately, things didn't go according to his plans.

The battles by the border between the Dali Kingdom and the Renner Kingdom had split up into five regions. Eastern Plains, Pyram, Dragon Canyon, Silent Field, and Grenbell. Apart from Eastern Plains which he could abandon, he was confident in taking down the other four battle lines. He had even imagined that if he took down the four regions, his army could wrap around and take down Eastern Plain from the rear altogether. But now, the situation was far from what he had expected.

Aside from Eastern Plain, the news that came from Pyram and Dragon Canyon weren't pleasant. Even though the Undead Army had broken through the first defensive lines, they were quickly obstructed and the battle had fallen into a stalemate. And now, according to the report, although the Undead Army was advancing, their speed was incredibly slow. Pyram's and Dragon Canyon's defenses gathered quickly and there were even traces of the Valkyrie Army: one of the enemies that gave the Undead Army their biggest headaches.

If the Undead Creatures were advantageous in their massive quantities, the Valkyries would be superior in qualities. Besides, due to their contradicting holy attributes, the Valkyries could deal lethal damage to them. Even an ordinary Valkyrie who casually swung her sword could easily wipe out a hundred Skeleton Soldiers, not to mention a group of them. Furthermore, the Undead Creatures wouldn't be able to resist their powerful holy powers and spiritual spells without valiant strength. Moreover, it was even more so for this siege warfare.

The news from Silent Field was a little more 'encouraging'. Although the Undead Army attacking Silent Field also faced retaliation, they spotted an opening in the defensive line, broke through, and was currently invading the region. But according to the report, the residents appeared to have been evacuated before the Undead Army broke through the defenses and most of the troops had quickly retreated. It was apparent that they were building a third line of defense. But no one knew if the Undead Army could break through it too.

"I'm sorry… Sir Ansell. We…"

Rairhan clenched his teeth. It was apparent that he didn't wish to describe the situation with such jarring words. But, he had no choice.

"We… have been driven off…"

"What?!"

Ansell sulked instantly. He glared at the crystal ball and the spiritual flames burning in his eyes were as though about to melt it. After a few moments, Ansell let out a long, heavy sigh as he fixed his eyes on the Death Knight.

"Give me the details!"

He yelled at the top of his lungs.

Ansell stared at the crystal ball sullenly. Even though he wasn't speaking a word, it could be seen from his expression that he was on the verge of exploding with wrath. In fact, if what Rairhan said were true… he couldn't find any areas of rebuttal to prove that this Death Knight was merely using a clumsy lie to hide his failures. Perhaps he would feel better if it was a lie. But it was a pity that he was still clear-headed.

Ansell almost agreed with everything that Rairhan had reported to him and that was referring to the Renner Kingdom being ready for their raids. The reason was simple. The Dali Kingdom had investigated the situation of Grenbell, which included the sudden emergence of a young Human overlord and the massive Fortress being built only two weeks. No matter if the rumors were genuine, there weren't any signs of human habitations or buildings in the past. On the other hand, it was only half a year ago when that young overlord went to the duchy to build the Fortress. Ansell felt that this young overlord was well prepared. Even though it was only right for them to stay vigilant for lurking Undead Creatures by the border, this young overlord's cautiousness had surpassed all limits. It felt as though he was aware of the Dali's Kingdom planned raids.

"You said… They have Mages who suppressed the Necromancers?"

"Yes, Sir Ansell. At least that's what that damn Vampire said."

"… Is it Ashtar?"

"I'm sorry, Sir. I didn't see him around."

"…"

There was a momentary silence.
