87 – The best move you can make right now
A suddenly broken wall.
The moment she saw this, Clara’s eyes began to shine at this ‘opportunity’ that had suddenly come before her embarrassment over this unexpected situation.
I wondered why something like this happened.
But now, rather than worrying about such things, the priority is to escape from here somehow.
As Clara broke through the wall, she took the sword from the body of the soldier who had died instantly and escaped outside through the broken wall.
At that time.
-“Kaaa!!!”-
“Kuheook!!”
“Kwaaak!”
“!!”
Eerie screams and people’s screams coming from the hallway.
Clara reflexively turned her gaze toward the sound, which was a mixture of screams and fear that gave her a terrifying feeling.
The existence that she began to see immediately after that.
It is…
“! I… That… lee… rich?”
A powerful being that is often resurrected from the corpse of a powerful wizard with a deep grudge.
Although he barely remembers his life, he is a monster who roams around committing merciless killings, driven only by instincts such as revenge and resentment.
It is him and this moment,
It has a body made of bones without any flesh,
It was emitting black magical energy and mercilessly slaughtering the soldiers in front of it, and it was approaching towards us with its red eyes flashing.
However.
The moment Clara saw this, she felt goosebumps rising all over her body and quickly turned her gaze towards the window right next to her.
Of course, she was imprisoned as her slave, so she had no reason to help her soldiers being slaughtered, and she had no time to fight the lich that suddenly appeared.
– Tak!
Just like that, Clara, with her entire body covered in aura, quickly runs forward and jumps down her window.

As she walked away from her window, the miserable screams of dying soldiers reached her ears, but Clara did not even care about such things.
The important thing is to seize this long-awaited opportunity to escape.
I wasn’t even interested in how that lich came into existence or why it was slaughtering here.
After jumping onto the roof, Clara quickly moves her body and runs away from the mansion.
Then, without even looking back, she started running toward the nearby port.
‘That’s the only place I can go now…’ If it was him… ‘The governor of Torah will definitely be able to help me.’
Governor Tora is a person with whom General Neto has developed a close relationship as his lover.
Although the current Clara had stabbed General Neto in a spectacular manner, there would be no way to know the inside story related to this now that General Neto was dead.
Of course, someone like Nelson, who carried out this incident, may try to tell the truth, but her story would not be of much interest to Governor Tora since they had a static relationship to begin with.
In order to make the most of the fact that the dead do not speak,
Clara ran with all her might to return to the northern Maple Country.

-“Cl… Lala…. This guy… ”-
“Sa… Save me… help me!”
Viscount Harconnell lying on the floor.
At this moment, when all his men were slaughtered,
He desperately pleaded to somehow survive this terrifying undead.
However.
-“Claraaa!!!!”-
“Kuhuhuhuhuh!!!”
The lich pulls out Viscount Harconnell’s heart and explodes it.
Just like that, Viscount Connell died with a scream, and right after killing the last human remaining in his mansion, the Rich…
The general of the empire was once called Neto.
I began to slowly walk towards the traces of the human being that could still be felt within this mansion.
-“Cl….La… la…. Where… Is there something… “-
Richie arrives at the prison following his instincts and senses.
However, Clara could no longer be found in this place where her love for her was deeply ingrained.
Clara’s presence cannot be found at all, even though the smell is still full due to the liquid that flowed from her eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals.
Richie said.
She was definitely here, but now she no longer exists, so I started wandering around the area to find her whereabouts.
However, even though she wandered around the place following the instinct imprinted in her soul, she could not easily find her whereabouts.
Not because of any other reason, but because her harvesting that remained in this room was so strong.
Her foul smell was so bad that it couldn’t have been left if she hadn’t spilled her bodily fluids so that her floor was soaked for at least a month, and it was preventing them from easily finding where she had gone.
And, soon after breaking free from this disturbance and finally succeeding in finding the direction in which she had disappeared.
Just like that, she slowly began to move, following her faint, distant presence.
A place located in the north, nearly 2000 km away from here…
Toward the Maple region.

The great army of the Kingdom of Franz arrived before our eyes.
While welcoming them,
Marshal George, the leader of the rebels, politely asked for greetings with a deep smile on his face.
“It is a great pleasure to meet you like this. “I am George W. Sington, the leader of the rebels.”
“General of the Great Franz Kingdom. It’s called Lafayelle Gilles Moti. I’ve heard the name a lot. I hope to go along well. Marshal George.”
The two people greet each other with confidence in each other’s abilities, as they are well aware of each other’s reputation.
Although the two people had different origins and living backgrounds, at this moment, they smiled deeply at each other as comrades with a common enemy.
“Then, how about we go inside and talk about it in detail?”
“You will do that.”

After completing the overall greeting,
The two leaders started talking about future strategies.
Looking at them, Franklin and I, who had been summoned to prepare for the operation, listened to the contents with a serious attitude.
“Okay, now let me explain the overall situation.
“Please do me a favor.”
Before explaining the details of the war, General George looks toward Franklin.
So she took out the map she had prepared in advance and spread it out on the table.
Immediately after that, Grand Marshal George calmly pointed to the overall map and began to explain.
Currently, the overall situation is that the southern region is occupied by the imperial army and the northern region is occupied by us.
Fortunately, the Maple region further north had lost the ability to launch an offensive, and the danger from the Mok tribe to the west had also disappeared, so the worst situation where the front was divided would not have happened.
However.
“The problem is that it is difficult to hastily launch an attack in the current situation. No matter how much their power has been weakened, it is currently impossible to attack the imperial army trapped in the Maple region. Also, in the case of the southern region, since the British Empire completely controls the sea, there is a high risk that a hasty attack will result in a counterattack.”
Unlike the North, where most residents enjoyed support, the Empire’s support was strong in the South.
In order to fight in a place like this, it was necessary to not only move troops quickly but also pay close attention to supply routes, but this was not an easy task in a situation where the sea routes were completely blocked.
However, the Franz Kingdom army succeeded in arriving by surprise, avoiding the eyes of the enemy’s naval forces. Once caught off guard, the enemy will further strengthen coastal security.
Although they took a sigh of relief, in this situation where the overall attack itself was still not easy, Grand Marshal George and General Rafiel began discussing ways to somehow achieve an efficient breakthrough.
Grand Marshal George’s personal wish is to attack New Oak City in the north, the border point of the Maple Region.
However, the number of troops stationed in New Oak City was of an size that could never be overlooked, and above all, because the terrain itself made it difficult to attack, it was eventually dismissed according to General Lafayel’s wishes.
Although he came as a relief soldier, the overall commander of the 30,000-strong Franz army that came here is General Rafiel, so it is necessary to respect his right to speak as much as possible.
Next, General Rafael spoke in a serious voice.
“I think it would be best to move after His Excellency Ely has neutralized the enemy’s navy. “For the movement of troops and also for supply.”
“Uhm… “
“It’s definitely not wrong, but… “Wouldn’t that take too long?”
To be honest, with this many troops stationed there, I didn’t feel like waiting patiently until then.
In addition, if we ignore it like that, the strategic advantage we have regained may be overturned.
However, considering safety and combat efficiency, it is the best option.
The rebel leadership, including Generalissimo George, did not show much opposition to his actions.
At that time.
Seeing them like this.
I carefully opened my mouth, referring to the contents of the status window that appeared before my eyes.
“If not… “How about doing it this way?”
