Novel Bin Chapter 288
Shadowslash quickly started speaking if not Sans would destroy these 7 undeads that was refined by the battle arena.
“Sans stop we still need them since they would serve as a valuable addition to your army” Said Shadowslash as if he didn’t care about their hungry glared which actually he do not.
Hearing what he said Sans stops his aura from rampaging but he still warned them about their attitude towards Shadowslash.
The seven undeads stop looking at Shadowslash with hungry gaze.
Shadowslash then asks “So which three of these undeads would you be leaving in the Howling Ridge?”
Sans answered “That is something I have been pondering since I got here”
.....
“The Death Knight and the Elite Skeleton Swordsman is considered one of the best candidates for my cavalry so I already erased the thought of leaving them”
Shadowslash nodded as when the seven undeads turned to him earlier these two have somewhat different gaze its like their’s was somewhat restrained.
He then asks Sans “How about you just leave at least 10 Mid-Class undeads in Silver Rank in the Howling Ridge”
Sans was surprised and asks “Wouldn’t ten Mid-Class Silver Rank undeads too lacking when compared with the quantity and quality of the monsters living in the Howling Ridge?”
Shadowslash nodded “Yes they may be but since they do not need to work that hard that much since we already have the Sanctuary”
Sans agreed to that statement since hunting the Howling Ridge wasn’t ideal anymore so they should not expect that much from the undeads they will stationing in the Howling Ridge.
At most they could serve as scouts for any particular events or suspicious phenomem happening in the ridge since it was now an important place for their group especially after Banjo finished obtaining full control of the secret realm.
After they finished discussing they agreed in leaving only 10 Mid-Class Silver Rank undeads in the Howling Ridge as guards of the secret realm and informants about the situation in the Howling Ridge.
Nightmare then lead the seven undeads back to the Sanctuary while Sans went to the Howling Ridge to release the 10 Mid-Class undeads.
Shadowslash went with Nightmare as he needed to cover them with illusions so that they wouldn’t attract any attention.
Besides that he was also toguard the seven undeads since they might encounter a human during their return to the Sanctuary and judging from their earlier attitude they might go out of control and attack them.
Nightmare was in the front while he was in the back it was like they are escorting a couple of criminals.
Since he did not have anything else to do othet than covering Nightmare and the 7 undeads with illusions and guarding them.
Shadowslash decided to Scan Nightmare since he was curious about his improvement after going into the battlefield.
According from how Nightmare acts he definitely have improved after all he had the abiliy to absorb an undead soul flame to strengthen himself.

After reading his status Shadowslash was startled to see that Nightmare haven’t improved
But after thinking for a while he realises that it wasn’t that strange.
Leveling up in Crimson Gold Rank is ten times much harder than in Gold Rank what’s more Nightmare is a Legendary Grade undead.
Even though he has the title [Tyrant] the number of High-Class undeads that he could devour were just too little for him to level up.
Shadowslash then looks at the description of his skills and realises that though he did not level up but most of them actually improved.

Even though Nightmare have all his skills have improved with the amount of Mana he has it was too little.
Recklessly using them would tire him oup but his recovery rate is not to be underistimated 3 Mana per 5 seconds.
His normal attack is already considered powerful though so he could just fight without using his skills that much.
After walking for a while they finally nearing the Sanctuary and the reason for this is because they are travelling in haste.
Just like what Shadowslash have thought when the undeads saw a human being they quickly went out of contro butl only for a second.
When they were just about to attack the humans they encountered.
A glint passed through Nightmare’s soul flames.
It signalised that he wanted to eat the seven undeads and as long as they made the wrong move then they will be his lunch.
Of course because of this he also unconciously leaks out his Tyrant aura quickly making the undeads to reign in their instinct.
When they finally arrived at the golden circle Nightmare looks disappointed he was truly looking forward in eating at least one of the seven undeads.
Actually Shadowslash was using his Spirit Qi to influence the undeads calming them down if not Nightmare would definitely eat them.
Sans was already waiting for them in the Sanctuary after he gave an order to the 10 Mid-Class undeads he immediately went to the Sanctuary.
The 10 of them then stand on top of the golden circle.
They just arrived in the Archinviel Dukedom and yet they were already returning back to Dragon Kingdom.
Back in Dragon Kingdom insde the palace the whole atmosphere was solemn as the kingdom received the news that the scouts that they assigned to monitor the movement of the orc army were all killed by some kind of weird magic making the kingdom blind on the movement of their enemy.
Not only that before one of the scouts died he shared to them an information telling them that the orcs have already started building rheir camps not far from the kingdom.
Dragon King Tristan sighed and said “Brian go and give compensation to the families of the fallen scouts and gather your forces it seems that we need to prepare ourself”
.....
If the message that the scout shared to them was true the orc army have already stationed themselves and would definitely attack once their camp was complete.
While the soldiers in the kingdom were started to get ready the citizens started to become worried and scared about the outcome of the war.
As they started getting busy the news about this was also spread into Hidden Forest Town.
Yshelia decided to stop working on the defence system of the town as she knew that the group needed to get ready for war.
She also found out about the news regarding the alliance between the two power and was of course a bit shocked but she have fought numerous undeads before and is quite confident they could win the war.
Everyone started getting busy especially the soldiers and those that decided to join the war.
Some of the adventurers were also joining those that have already signed up for the work obtain a badge that counts the number of kills he or she have.
This miraculous badge was built by Yshelia using fairy magic and ancient knowledge she learned from her predecessor.
When the adventurers find out that they are only responsible for killing the undeads not the orcs and each kill would amount to 1 Silver Coin as they quickly accepted the mission.
Undeads were weaker than an average human as long as they don’t meet any undeads that is higher than Low-Class they are safe.
Not only that Elsa released the news informing them they could earn 100 GP as long as they obtain 100 kills.
GP could be used to gain access to the library, weapons and other treasures in the guild as long as they could obtain enough GP they could become a guild elder.
