After getting their short rest, the group once again resumed their journey.


    They came across anxious soldiers manning the checkpoints, and there were times when they were almost attacked due to how tense they were.


    If not for the fact that they were carrying the banner of Generals Watson and Sherlock, whom everyone recognized as their Great Generals in this war, these sentries would have definitely attacked first and askedter, due to the intense skirmish that happened a few hours ago.


    ''Not good,'' Lux thought. ''It looks like after the Generalmanding this forest sent several of their men to reinforce the Marsnds, their defenses have grown weaker, leaving these soldiers feeling jittery.''


    Although the Yn Army guarding the forest area managed to fend off their enemies, that didn''t mean that there wasn''t a possibility that they would be breached when the Ammarian Army attacked again.


    All the sentries were on high alert, and if they saw anything suspicious, the rm for battle would immediately be sounded. A dy in warning could result in their entire camp being overrun by their enemies, so there was no room for error.


    Finally, a dayter, Lux and his team arrived at the new camp of General Fahad.


    Only a few days had passed since he saw the General, but his looks and temperament had bepletely different from the first time that Lux had met him.


    The general looked exhausted, but his eyes were still sharp, as if he could fight at any given second.


    General Fahad''s son, Leo, had dark circles under his eyes and looked less smug than thest time Lux saw him.


    Clearly, the Marsnd Defenders had their backs against the wall and needed all the help they could get.


    Seeing that they were busy, Lux just asked the question that mattered to him.


    "When was thest time you fought against them?" Lux asked.


    "Half a day ago," General Fahad replied. "We managed to fend them off, but it came at a steep price. Almost three thousand men died, and even with the reinforcements, it is only a matter of time before they manage to whittle our manpower away until none remain."


    Lux nodded. "Did they take their dead bodies back to their camp? Or did they just leave them there?"


    General Fahad looked at Lux before a dawn of understanding came upon him.


    "Actually, they didn''t. They are still down there," General Fahad pointed at the base of the cliff where they were at, which made Leo look at his father with a doubtful gaze.


    ''Why are they talking about dead bodies?'' Leo frowned as he looked at the Half-Elf who had a relieved expression on his face.


    "Can I have them?" Lux asked.


    General Fahad nodded. "I don''t mind. We already took our dead from among them. Everyone down there are all Ammarians."


    The more Leo heard, the more he didn''t understand what was happening, which made him wonder what was so special about the dead bodies under the cliff.


    Just as he was pondering these thoughts, Lux addressed his team members and asked them to get a proper rest.


    They had been traveling for a very long time, and they were already at their limit.


    The Half-Elf on the other hand, didn''t rest.


    He simply summoned his Skeleton Army and his Rock Golems, ordering them to bury the dead bodies in the ground.


    The soldiers of the Yn Camp didn''t see anything wrong with this. In fact, they weed it. Dead corpses could attract insects, as well as other beasts, that might attack their camp if they were not careful.


    Having someone do the dirty work for them gave them some peace of mind.


    Naturally, they weren''t aware that Lux was not burying the dead soldiers out of respect. For him, they were valuable resources that he could use in a pinch to overturn their current situation.


    Two hourster, Ishtar appeared beside Lux and whispered something in his ears.


    The Half-Elf frowned after hearing the news, but he still nodded his head to tell his Nightstalker to continue her mission of monitoring the movements of the Ammarian Army.


    ''They might try another night attack if my hunch is right,'' Lux thought. ''But this is also good. They won''t see what is going to hit them.''


    After finalizing his n, Lux raised his hand and called upon two of his most trusted subordinates to join him in this battle.


    "Honor your Oath as part of my Covenant!" Lux ordered and a magic circle appeared on the ground in front of him. "Come forth, Bedivere!"


    The magic circle glowed brightly and half a minuteter, Lux''s Dragon Knight appeared in front of him.


    "I havee, My Liege," Bedivere said as he and his Dragon Mount bowed respectfully to their Master.


    Lux gave them a brief nod before summoning ckfire, the Coffin where his Grandma Vera was currently resting.


    "Sid, I need your expertise," Lux stated. "Hear my call!"


    The lid of the coffin opened and a secondter, the Dwarf Assassin appeared on bended knees, paying tribute to his Master.


    "My de is yours, My Master," Sid said respectfully.


    Lux also gave Sid a brief nod, acknowledging his allegiance.


    "I have work for the two of you." Lux looked at his Dragon Knight and Assassin with a solemn expression on his face. "Right now, we are fighting arge-scale war. What I want the two of you to do is…"


    Bedivere and Sid listened carefully to Lux''s words. After their master finished speaking, both of them nodded their heads in understanding.


    "Lazarus,e," Lux ordered.


    A momentter, a burning skull appeared in front of the Half-Elf, surprising the Dragon Knight, as well as Sid.


    "This is my newrade, Lazarus," Lux introduced the ming skull to the Dragon Knight as well as the Dwarf Assassin. "He will be participating with you guys in this operation. The three of you are to coordinate with Ishtar and carry out this mission without fail. Do I make myself clear?"


    """Yes, Master!"""


    Lux nodded. "Go. I will wait for the good news."


    The three bowed their heads to the Half-Elf once again before all three of them climbed onto Bedivere''s Dragon Mount and descended from the cliff.


    Afternding safely, Sid and Lazarus moved together onnd, while Bedivere and his mount, once again took off towards the sky.


    Behind Lux, Eiko, her Doppelgangers, and Fei Fei were busy creating one Bone Bomb and st Bomb after the other until their Mana ran out.


    The Skeleton Bombs couldst for a day or two as long as Eiko didn''t use the Skeleton Make skill to form other things.


    However, she could only create 200 of them at a time.


    Because of this, she needed to summon her Doppelgangers to add 200 more Skeleton Bombs in order to increase their stockpile.


    st Bombs, on the other hand,sted for only four hours, but that was enough.


    Eiko happily made one bomb after the other as she chugged on some mana potions that Lux had ced beside her.


    The Yn Soldiers just watched this scene with amused expressions on their faces. They never thought that the Slimes would be capable of bomb creation.


    After the two baby Slimes finished their job, Lux ced all of the finished bombs inside his storage ring.


    He then flew down the cliff and hid them in ces which he deemed would be the best ce to hide them.


    Now, all he needed to do was wait for the Ammarian Army to attack. He was sure that when this night was over, their enemies would have learned a lesson they would never forget.
