Chapter 1064: Small moves
freёwebnovel.comIn the end, it was decided that we would watch over the undead horde to see what they would do next.
But at the same time, we were also waiting for reinforcements.
It was decided that we would send a message to the prime minister and see what he would plan to do. Though it was strongly advised that reinforcements be sent because of what we had found.
The lich was not something that could be looked down on.
It would increase our chances to win if the other wyverns were dispatched here as well.
As for Alidus, there was no need to say anything.
Since it was a crisis, naturally he was called upon to help as well.
He didn't even say a thing as he started staring down the undead while polishing his club, as if he was already prepared for battle. That wasn't strange though since it wasn't as if the undead were welcome by the giants.
Most living races couldn't stand the undead after all.
Even with all of this, I couldn't help feeling that it wasn't enough.
I really felt like there was something else that I should do to turn this situation around.
That was all because of a certain thing that I had.
As long as I had this thing, I should be able to do something since it was a thing that would affect the entire undead horde.
I was naturally talking about the Orb of the Dead.
As I stood there on the walls looking at the undead horde, I held the Orb of the Dead in my hand.
There were guards that were standing beside me and they had urged me to go rest for what was to come, but I just didn't listen to them at all. So all they could do was stand guard and watch over me as I stood on the wall.
These were royal guards, so they were already used to the random things that I did to a certain extent.
Only this was different from the rest of the things that I did.
I was just standing there quietly, which freaked them out a bit.
But the reason for that was because I was using the Orb of the Dead to test the undead horde that was in front of me. Or it was better to say that I was testing the limits of what I could do with the Orb of the Dead.
If I tried pushing too hard, all that would happen is that there would be a warning from the lich. It was only a small warning in terms of the dark energy of the Orb of the Dead being disrupted by the power of the lich.
However, that was more than enough for me to know that I shouldn't try pushing the lich any further. After all, pushing the lich into a corner would only put us in a bad spot if it suddenly decided to attack us.
So I pulled back every time the lich gave a warning.
Though I could tell that the lich was getting annoyed since the manipulations were getting more and more fierce.
It was like I was a little fly that kept buzzing around in its space and that just annoyed it. After testing with the Orb of the Dead for a while, there was a smile that appeared on my lips.
When they saw the smile that was on my face, the guards couldn't help feeling a chill run down their spines.
After accompanying for a while, these royal guards had developed a kind of intuition for things like this. They were able to get a kind of sixth sense about things like this.
So they knew that I had something in mind.
I didn't care about the way that they looked at me as I just said, "Get Klein for me, there's something that I need to discuss with him."
Since Klein had taken charge here, he was regarded as the commander of the defense.
With the new information that I obtained, I naturally had to report it to him.
After a while, Klein came up with a confused look on his face.
He didn't have a single idea why I was calling him and if it wasn't for the fact that I was the king, he most likely wouldn't have come. But at the same time, one could tell that he was curious about what I had to say.
After all, the things that I've done in the past were definitely shocking enough that he would be willing to take a risk.
When he heard what I had to say, Klein looked at me with a shocked and confused look.
It took him a while to recover from this shocked look, but then he slowly asked, "Are you sure that this is possible?"
With an affirmative nod, I said, "As long as they are only small movements, the lich won't be able to do anything."
There was a look of deep thought that appeared on Klein's face after hearing this.
I didn't disrupt him since I knew that he was thinking about how to use this to our advantage. After a while, Klein suddenly said, "Alright, then we'll use this. How long will it take and how long will it last?"
"It won't take long and it'll last as long as we need it."
There was a smile that appeared on Klein's face when he heard this before he said, "Good, very good. It seems like it'll be easier to survive with this."
I gave a nod at first, but then said in a serious voice, "Don't look down on the lich. There's no telling what else it will do."
Klein gave a slow nod before saying with a sigh, "Nothing has been the same since you've taken over. There's always all these different things popping up here and there."
Perhaps another king wouldn't want to hear this from his subjects, but I didn't mind it since it was a show of how close we were.
But there was a bitter smile that appeared on my face as well since I couldn't deny what he
said.
