Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Harvey received an urgent message from Asdalen when he was inspecting the territory's mines.

When he rode the alchemy beast back to the castle quickly, Egno had already finished treating Vaughn's injuries and let him take the potion and fall asleep.

"What happened? Where did they encounter the demon cavalry?"

Tommy, who was the first to find Vaughn, knelt on one knee and reported the news he received to Harvey in detail: "Lord, I found Vaughn in the woods outside the east gate wall of the territory. He said that a team of demon soldiers appeared near the Green Water Swamp... I, I checked his wounds, which were indeed caused by a sharp blade, and this head..."

Harvey turned his head to look at the table where Tommy pointed, untied the bloodstained and torn clothes, and revealed a hideous head with deep red skin.

Red eyes and red skin, small scales all over the forehead...

It is indeed the most typical appearance of the demons.

"Didn't the exploration team report at the beginning that these guys were suspected to appear in the mining area on the edge of the swamp? How could it be..."

The mining area discovered by the exploration team is located on the eastern edge of the entire wasteland swamp. To reach the Green Water Swamp closest to the territory, it is equivalent to crossing the entire swamp area, which takes about three days.

This means that the demons are not just staying in that mine, but are constantly expanding around it, and are rapidly developing the surrounding areas in the form of a small team of cavalry.

"Are they... searching for something?" Asdalen, who used to live in the depths of the ice field, is considered to be the one who knows the demons best among their group.

But even he couldn't figure out why a team of demon soldiers could cross the vast ice field, pass through the dense and huge evil orc tribes in the wasteland, and sneak into the wasteland swamp area on the north side of the God's Ridge Mountains.

Harvey didn't want to think so much, he decisively gave Pierce an order, "Let the territory defense army adjust the alert level to level one, but don't blow the alarm to avoid panic and chaos..."

"Let the Northern Army stationed in the camp assemble immediately, and conduct a carpet search in the direction of the Green Water Swamp in combat groups. Be sure to find the demon cavalry that has infiltrated the territory, and then annihilate them all!"

We must not let any of them escape by chance and return to the base camp of the natural mineral vein to report the alarm.

Harvey is not sure whether his territory has been detected by the demons. His previous plan to wait for the blood warriors to complete the training and then launch a surprise attack in the dark is no longer appropriate.

In this case, it is better to attack directly from the front, set up a formation and use the powerful magic gun firepower to catch all the demons entrenched in the natural mineral vein.

...

The defense army camp, which had just entered the night, suddenly received an urgent order from the highest commander of the territory-suspected alien invasion, activate the first-level defense alert!

All soldiers who were not assigned to guard and patrol the city wall quickly assembled and boarded the wall section of their respective teams. Then, they quickly formed combat teams according to the team structure and entered a defensive fortress built every few hundred meters on the wall.

The entire pioneer city wall is a terrifying length of 20 miles. Even if all 2,000 defense soldiers are stuffed on the wall, there is no guarantee that every section of the wall can be occupied.

At this time, the Northern Border Army stationed in the territory came in handy. They were responsible for gathering combat troops to take the initiative to attack in the main direction of the foreign enemy's attack.

"Captain, this first-level alert order tonight will not be another large-scale exercise training, right?" A captain in charge of the west wall section approached the commander of the first battalion of the defense army and asked in a low voice.

After all, it is well known that the daily training of the Northern Army relies on field training, while the daily training of the Defense Army relies on exercises...

Since the army was restructured and divided into two, the soldiers assigned to the Defense Army have experienced several large-scale full-army defense exercises.

But this is the first time for a defense exercise with a first-level alert, which means that after the alarm is sounded, they need to climb the city wall, and for a full 72 hours, the entire army must be equipped with live ammunition and maintain a high state of alert.

The battalion commander of the first defense battalion glanced at his captain and motioned him to look down from the observation window of the defense fortress. He found that at some point, the city gate on the west side suddenly opened, and a large number of Northern Army soldiers in black uniforms lined up from the territory, quickly assembled outside the city gate, and then dispersed in the form of combat teams, entered the dark and dense woodland, and quickly disappeared into the night.

"They... is this, is this a night training? Or... are they going to do it for real?"

The commander of the defense army stood on the five-meter-high city wall, gnashing his teeth and punching the wall bricks heavily, "These bastards of the Northern Army have taken the opportunity to go out and fight again this time to earn merits, hum!"

A messenger ran all the way along the city wall quickly, rushed into the western defense fortress, and reported to the commander out of breath: "Report! Sir, the lord will immediately climb the city wall to inspect the defensive fortifications of the western section of the city wall. Commander Pierce asked you to make all preparations and don't relax at all!"

The originally depressed commander of the first battalion immediately jumped up like a chicken blood, grabbed the messenger and yelled: "The lord is here? This... is not an exercise? Is there really an invasion by foreign enemies?"

The messenger struggled to break free, walked to a trumpet-shaped alchemical instrument set up in the defense fortress, and stuffed a piece of phonograph magic stone in his waist bag into it. After a burst of sizzling noise, the calm and composed voice of Lord Harvey slowly sounded.

"Soldiers of the defense army! Please pay attention to the whole army... I am your Lord Harvey... Zizi... The sentinel found traces of demon cavalry in the Green Water Swamp... Zizi... The defense alarm of the territory was sounded, and I request... The whole army enters the first level of alert! I reiterate... This is not an exercise! This is not an exercise!"

No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one book, one bar!

Alien invasion! Or the most vicious and cruel demons in the northern wilderness!

The officers of all sizes in the defense fortress of the western section of the city wall immediately took up their spirits a hundred times, and ran to the defense section of the city wall they were responsible for amid the hoarse roar of the battalion commander, and quickly conveyed the lord's oral instructions.

The western section of the city wall is about six miles long, and a huge defensive fort was built at the western gate.

The senior officers of the defense army gathered here with mixed feelings, and had a heated discussion on the detailed territory wall defense map. Everyone was in a very mixed mood.

I don’t know whether they hope that the demons will really break through the counterattack line of the Northern Army and rush to the territory wall, so that their defense army can be useful.

Or should they pray that the group of high-minded guys in the Northern Army are really as powerful as tigers and can directly annihilate the foreign enemies outside the territory.

The bloody and ferocious demon head that was cut off and brought back by Vaughn after being killed is now being carried by the messenger and circulated in various defense strongholds of the defense army.

"The demons look like this. Except for the different skin color and red eyes, they are no different from us..."

"Look, he was killed with bare hands and his head was cut off. The warriors who killed him didn't use magic guns to blow his head off..."
