The Necromancer Who Was Despised - The Necromancer Who Was Despised chapter 262

Her legs spread wide, and her waist began to sway backward.

With her arms wrapped around my belly, she swayed her hips even faster.

“Hweok, an, an, it’s not working… I, I, again….”

She suddenly stopped moving, her body trembling violently on top of me.

But this time, she wasn’t alone.

Her insides were going wild, and I too lost control and climaxed.

Even in the midst of her convulsions, Atina seemed to be smiling, and soon collapsed on top of me.

“Haak, haak….”

Atina, who was breathing heavily on my chest.

I hugged her tightly, and Atina smiled in delight, burrowing deeper into my embrace.

◈ Neutral Zone

“…It’s incredible. I’ve heard that you’ve reached the 8th Circle, but…”

As I watched the prepared undead being put into the dimensional fragments, Lisiuos couldn’t close his mouth properly.

“It seems those ogres are the ones known as the Red Ogres.”

Since many species had flowed in, it wasn’t unusual for the interspecies alliance to know about the Red Ogres.

“The Giant’s power has been completely erased.”

“A wise decision, indeed.”

Lisiuos nodded several times, seeming to think that my words were correct.

The Dragoinians also knew that the dragons had fought against the Giant’s invasion, so they couldn’t help but have a favorable view of my actions.

“Then, the Red Ogres…”

“In reality, they’re on the brink of extinction. Of course, there might be some survivors, so I plan to revisit the Great Forest after the war.”

“You’re being thorough.”

“They’re dangerous creatures, like the Black Star.”

In reality, if we had left them alone, they would have become as dangerous as the Black Star.

“With our current strength, we can definitely take them down. And if we attack from both sides…”

Lisiuos’s face showed a hint of excitement, seeming to be confident.

He was thinking that they could deal a strong blow to their arch-nemesis, the Empire.

As I watched him, I gave a slight nod to Tinus.

Tinus approached Lisiuos, and at the same time, I naturally stepped aside.

The reason Tinus approached Lisiuos was to reveal his true identity.

There was no way to hide it, and I didn’t expect the Dragoinians to give us an answer and come directly to us.

Moreover, they were willing to go to the dangerous battlefield with us…

“It’s not like we can just leave it like this.”

There was no need to refuse the interspecies alliance’s offer to share the risk.

However, that meant Tinus couldn’t hide his true form anymore.

Currently, the neutral zone was under the Empire’s jurisdiction.

Even temporarily, it was a sacred place, and we couldn’t hide or hold back our strength in a place where we had to fight.

It was pointless to do so. We didn’t know the extent of the enemy’s strength, and it didn’t make sense to hold back.

So, yesterday, before departing, I had a conversation with Tinus and agreed to reveal his true identity to Lisiuos.

“I’ll ask for his thoughts as well.”

I wanted to see if the Dragoinians could accept Tinus in his current state through him.

He didn’t represent all Dragoinians, but as a Dragoinian himself, I could make some assumptions.

After putting all the undead away and finishing our preparations, I found Lisiuos crying when I looked for him again.

I glanced at Tinus, and he nodded briefly.

It seemed Lisiuos had accepted Tinus properly.

There was no need to show his true form anymore.

After Lisiuos calmed down, we received Tia’s farewell and entered the Monster Forest.

Originally, Prina was supposed to come and see us off, but she couldn’t due to a visit from a royal official.

It wasn’t chaotic, but most of our strength was already inside the dimensional fragments, and we had minimized our party’s numbers to maintain secrecy and reach the neutral zone.

So, in reality, only three of us, including me, Kailla, and Artina, saw Tia off.

The rest of our party was inside the dimensional fragments.

In fact, only those with master-level powers or above could move outside, and I was originally planning to move alone.

However, Kailla and Artina strongly opposed that, so we decided to have the two of them, who were at the master level, accompany me as my guards.

Tinus and Rishios also entered the dimensional fragments, and it seemed like they had a lot to talk about.

“You should see the main body too.”

Rishios seemed to be taking it easy, but he didn’t seem to be nervous at all.

The atmosphere itself was quite good.

The two beside me also knew the situation well.

“It’s a relief that the reaction isn’t bad.”

“Yeah. If we do well, the elves might not even bother with us.”

“You’re in a hurry. The dark elves who stabbed us in the back are now holding hands with you, and the situation is changing. And now, with the Dragoneer’s help, you’re… not going to stab us in the back again, are you?”

“It’s difficult to stab us in the back in the current situation. From the start, their fundamental world tree is in the interracial union, so they can’t do whatever they want in this situation.”

Besides, due to their past experience of being stabbed in the back, it would be difficult for them to join hands with the empire now.

If the Dragoneer really accepts Tinus and starts actively cooperating with me… it would be a headache.

“Of course, I won’t worry about it.”

Of course, the elves aren’t going to do anything right now.

As long as the empire is a big enemy, the elves also have a way to survive.

From the dark elves’ perspective, they might grit their teeth, but they can’t just abandon their lives and join the empire, so they also have a chance.

“It seems that we also took advantage of the descendants of the Huangtou Guardian Clan.”

If Tinus acknowledges them, he might have to pay the price for it.

It’s clear that the elves’ future doesn’t look smooth.

As we chatted, we quickly traversed the monster forest.

There were no monsters that could block our path.

Even if it’s a small party, we have two masters, a mage, and a circle of eight, so there was no danger, and we could move through the monster forest with ease.

“…It’s still quite far, though.”

“It’s faster than before, isn’t it?”

“That’s true. The horse is completely different, after all.”

It took us over a month to get from the Owralan territory to the neutral zone before.

However, now we’re closer, and we’re riding the fast and tireless ghost horse, so we expected to arrive in about ten days.

In the meantime, we occasionally opened the dimensional fragments to check the internal situation.

Rishios was revering Tinus more than I thought, and when he dealt with me, he was extremely polite, serving Tinus with an attitude that was almost too humble.

The dark elves also showed respect and reverence for Tinus, but it wasn’t as much as Rishios.

In some ways, they revered Tinus more than the Orcs.

Our relationship with the Orcs wasn’t bad either.

Since Tinus acknowledged the Orcs, we’ve been showing a friendly attitude towards them.

Of course, it’s not just because Tinus acknowledged them; it’s because the Orcs who are moving with us now are different from the usual Orcs.

“…You’ve really gotten stronger.”

The Giant’s Power.

Tinus had consumed all of the power he had been saving.

Some of it was distributed to the withered earth’s Horned Orcs, but more than half was allocated to the Dragon’s Storm Tribe’s main force and the guardians of the Yellow Soil, increasing their strength to nearly twice that of the average Horned Orc.

It was only natural that when distributing power to the Dragon’s Storm Tribe, Artina accompanied him.

Having directly witnessed their potential and abilities, Lisios had easily acknowledged them as well.

Of course, it wasn’t just a simple exchange.

“It seems like… they’re competing with us.”

When the Dragonians didn’t know about Tinus, the Horned Orcs had known me, who had Tinus as their commander, for quite some time, and had directly received recognition and power from him. They had even joined forces for the Great Forest Expedition.

In fact, during the Great Forest Expedition, the Horned Orcs, who had been fighting against the Red Ogre, had achieved many merits on the continent, earning direct recognition from Tinus.

It was impossible to ignore this.

So, Lisios was saying that they had to introduce Tinus, the only existing dragon, to the interspecies union as soon as possible.

He said that just like himself, they would worship him, and that our previous worries were unnecessary.

However, Tinus did not permit the request.

He said he would reveal it in person at a later meeting.

He didn’t want to cause a stir during an important operation and spread unnecessary news.

I judged his decision to be wise.

“I didn’t expect this level of reaction…”

Of course, I didn’t think all Dragonians would react like Lisios.

As a young Dragonian, Lisios was quite energetic, and it was necessary to see how the older ones would react.

But if everyone reacted like Lisios… the operation might go awry, which was unbearable.

I had to verify the facts immediately.

So, for now, we decided to keep it a secret.

Tinus gave Lisios a strong order to that effect.

Lisios, with tears in his eyes, vowed to keep his mouth shut, obeying the dragon’s command.

Meanwhile, we successfully approached the neutral zone without being detected.

And there, we confirmed the presence of the Holy Empire’s soldiers, who were pioneering the Monster Forest.

“It seems like they’re really trying to stab us in the back.”

The worries of the 6 Kingdoms Union had become a reality.

However, their pioneering speed was slower than expected.

It seemed they couldn’t invest much force on this side.

“Is it because of the interspecies union?”

They seemed to be taking it easy, having won once and taken control of the neutral zone.

“It seems like they think they’ve won just once.”

“Indeed, the 6 Kingdoms Union is slightly more manageable than the interspecies union.”

Especially since they were targeting our weak rear, it was attractive to think that even without investing much force, it would be effective.

And this was also true for us.

“What a relief.”

“Yes. They don’t even think they’ll be attacked first.”

Moreover, their main force was hardly visible.

There were almost no holy knights or priests, and most were soldiers or laborers.

As soon as we engaged in battle, a one-sided massacre would ensue.

We had observed their formation a bit more.

There were definitely border troops stationed near the neutral zone, and we could see the garrisoned units as well.

“The fortress… is being built.”

It wasn’t very large or tall, but they were preparing an additional defense line on their own.

In the past, it was impossible to build a fortress in the neutral zone, but now that it was part of the empire’s territory, they seemed to be determined to solidify it thoroughly.

“A fortress in the holy land…”

From noble mtl dot net

If it were completed, it would be a headache.

But not now.

We could do it sufficiently.

Or, to be honest, even if we combined the garrisoned units and border troops, they wouldn’t be our match.

“Then…”

Let’s go further in.

If we did it well, we could even cut off the supply line heading to the front lines.

“The three most suitable places for the supply route are…”

Yeriya, who had experience operating in the neutral zone before dying and even preparing a dungeon, was with us.

So, we were familiar with the local terrain and could try it.

We exchanged glances and nodded shortly after.

The next morning…

“Enemy, enemy! It’s an enemy attack!”

“Black, black magic! The undead army…”

We swept away the enemy’s pioneers and the garrisoned army that was stationed with them.

◈ Neutral Zone

As expected, the first attack was effective.

In reality, our side didn’t suffer any losses, and we even captured the pioneers and the garrisoned army that were preparing to attack, as well as the fortress under construction.

Even if there was a difference in military power, the fact that our side didn’t suffer any losses meant that the enemy couldn’t respond at all.

Of course, if our main force wasn’t the undead, we would have suffered some losses, but since the undead could recover, it didn’t matter.

“Moreover, we can increase them again.”

In reality, we had annihilated them, and there were many corpses that could be used as materials.

The difference in military power was so great that Tinus didn’t reveal his true body, and the dark elves didn’t participate in the battle at all.

They played the role of blocking the fleeing enemies, and thanks to that, not a single ant managed to escape.

But we didn’t plan to stop there.
