Death Guns In Another World

Alex unaware of what was happening in the real world was preparing to ambush the enemy coming to sneak attack them.

Alex observed the black figures from the high cliff. Even though they were as small as sand, he wasn't as short-sighted as ordinary humans after his numerous power-ups and his new bloodline. He quickly recognized their formation.

Just as he had predicted, the pitch-black, shriveled Ghouls and Skeleton Cavalrymen were the main scouts. They were led by a Death Knight in pitch-black armor and a human-like figure clad in a tattered black robe stood in the middle amongst the Skeleton Cavalrymen. Even though Alex couldn't see the figure's appearance clearly, it was apparent from the white staff that it was a spellcaster. Four translucent spiritual creatures drifted around it and they were the most common scouts in the Undead Army—Specters. These convenient creatures were the favorites of the Undead Army.

"How strange…"

Fred, one of his aids knitted his brows and put away the monocular in his hand. He patted his head dubiously.

"Strange? What's strange?"

Ben took over the monocular and leaned back on the boulder. He curled up in the shadow to avoid direct sunlight from being reflected off the monocular lenses. They were here to ambush and not to be discovered by the enemies.

"Hmm… The Undead Creatures appear rather listless as though plants drying up from the scorching heat of the sun."

What an interesting analogy.

"Mr. Fred is right."

Alex smiled inwardly. This was the truth. Apart from the Liches who were surely in the Grandmaster realm, the other creatures were about level 70. However, perhaps their levels weren't even above level 60 now because, as soon as the Undead Creatures entered his territory, they were instantly weakened by the enchanted field of the Holy Statues. This was also another reason why the Undead Army feared approaching the fortress. The three Holy Statues were laid out in a triangular position and he ensured that his fortress was within the overlapping enchanted fields. In other words, the closer the Undead Army approached, the weaker they would be. The Undead Army had realized this, which was why they took the long route.

But Alex was clear that the Undead Army was like blind men who lit candles. The mountains extending from the land reached the Wind Canyon and the enveloping range of the three Holy Maiden Statues had shrouded the entire front line. A strong gust of wind blew 365 days a year in the Wind Canyon. The Undead Army would be out of their minds if they wrapped around the fortress, headed for the Wind Canyon, and attacked from there. Moreover, they would reach others' territory if they headed even farther, which meant that they abandoned the Grendell battle line and was favorable for alsx6. It wouldn't be his concern if the other battle lines were overwhelmed by the Undead Army. He was only the overlord of a territory and not the king, after all.

But he knew that this was wishful thinking. How would the Undead Army possibly abandon this battle line?

"Go according to plan."

Alex turned around and gestured.

"Sir Ben, lead your men and follow Madeline to the left. You will see a ditch that leads to the Undead Army's rear. They will retreat instantly once they discover that something is wrong. You guys need to move fast to prevent accidents. I will lead the others and launch attacks from the front. We will work together and surround them."

Alex drew a circle on the map.

"We'll strike if the Undead Creatures flee, but you'll wait for my orders if they stay. Understand?"

"No problem, Sir Overlord."

Fred lifted his sword and nodded with a grin. It seemed that he was itching to get on with it. He turned to Alex curiously.

"But I didn't expect you to be so familiar with this place, Sir Overlord. I'm sure you've often patrolled the area, right?"

"Every overlord must be familiar with their territories."

Alex gazed at the holographic map before him and said. He realized that his ability to lie through his teeth had improved tremendously after he came to this world.

On the other hand, Selena watched the black dots in the distance dubiously. She is a wandering merchant, although merchant it doesn't mean she was a weak lady, she was in the Saint Realm. She had a powerful background, you would die if you underestimated her. She has a means to protect herself. She visited this place after hearing about Alex, the young exceptional overlord.

Selena turned to Alex.lightsnovel

"Sir Alex, why will the Undead Creatures flee? They have a Lich among them, so… The differences in strength between us aren't that huge…"

"The differences weren't that huge, but it is different now, Miss Selena."

Alex laughed in his head.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "But, now isn't the time for this. There's a saying that seeing is believing. Oh, by the way, Miss Selena, don't treat the Lich as a legendary creature in the Saint realm when you face it later. Treat it as…"

Alex paused and pondered for a few moments.

"An enemy between intermediate to high-level strength."

"Huh?"

Selena gazed in disbelief. Everyone knew that Liches were creatures in the Saint realm and this was why they were terrifying. Of course. There were also exceptions, such as the Lich who used an Angel as the phylactery in the past. But it was a rare case, after all, and most Liches weren't that brainless. Since the enemy was a Lich from the Dali Kingdom, the kingdom of darkness and undead, it would be the real deal in the Saint realm. But now, Alex told her that this Lich was weaker. What did he mean?

"Alright, Selena, let's go."

Fred dragged her away impatiently. Selena stared blankly at Alex and hoped for a clear explanation. However, Alex watched her back vanishing around the corner. He shook his head and stooped over to observe the enemies through the gap.

The Undead Creatures were moving quickly and getting closer to Alex's men. He had to admit that the Undead Creatures were great with choosing spots. Even though they couldn't climb over the cliff and precipitous rock faces, there were natural rock platforms on the mountain waist, which made great lookout posts. Although it would be hard to come down after they climbed up, they didn't need to consume food and water, after all. The Undead Creatures' lookout posts were often set up this way in the game. The players watched helplessly from the foot as they couldn't climb up.

But the Undead Creatures didn't appear to be in high spirits. On the contrary, they moved with heavy feet. The Specters floating around the Lich appeared lifeless. The Death Knight leading his army seemed powerless. His long, black tail feather hung down from his helmet as though he had lost a battle.

'Heh. You didn't expect this, did you?'

Alex let out an inward, gleeful sneer. In the past, it was challenging to scout out the Undead Creatures. Apart from their tough defensive line, their stench was also a huge problem. Ordinary humans lasted for half an hour at most and even powerful people were affected by the weakening effects in the stench. They escaped the suffering after they put on their blessed armor and weapons. Back then, this annoyed the humans greatly, and now was the time for them to have a taste of their own medicine.

The Undead Creatures were vigilant, but the Holy Statues' enchanted fields had held their attributes down, where perhaps they couldn't release half their strength now. Alex silently shifted his position along the edge of the boulder and arrived by the enemies' left. He squinted at the holographic map before him. A few light dots had successfully dodged the Undead Creatures' search and arrived at their destination.

'Everything's ready.'

Alex lifted his head and stared at the Death Knight.

'It's about time to let you have a taste of an ambush. Hehehehehe!' Alex grinned evilly in the end making him look like an evil overlord.

〖It is me or you're slowly turning evil the more time spend in this world?〗Silveria decided to poke fun at Alex. The latter was forced to come back to his senses, embarrassed he coughed.

'Shut up, don't ruin my glorious moment.'

〖Pfft! That line sounds like someone suffering from a 3rd-grade syndrome, how do you call it? Ah! Chuunibyo in Japanese if I do remember correctly. Fufufu! I will record everything to show the others later.〗

'Don't you dare Nemesis or else you will be in for some spanking?' Alex roared in his mind, trying to sound menacing but all this did was to make Silveria laugh, she was enjoying tormenting Alex.

Nyx was observing everything from her world sitting on her black throne. She shook her head, she was glad that her sister had found love and could be so happy. She would do everything to make this last, to ensure this, she had to make this world his. Slowly but surely she started acting in the shadows. Not even Bahamut's clone was aware of this.

Nyx, I love her. Always planning, thinking of Alex in every move.
