Chapter 176: For Whom Does the Bag Open? (6)
Namgung Jeongbaek’s court was the oldest building in this city.
Before the Soviet Union seized this land, it had been a small castle used as a villa for the emperor.
Despite its history of faded glory, surprisingly, there were almost no signs of battle around the castle.
As if the undead had deliberately avoided this place.
One-armed elf Pinel furrowed his brows at the sight.
“The east and the south... They’re not even trying to hide that they’re the real culprits.”
As he spoke, he raised his sword, the very blade that had hacked through dozens of zombies on the way from the fortified inn. The blade gleamed menacingly.
He looked ready to charge at the castle at any moment.
Then, someone standing behind Pinel cleared their throat and grabbed his shoulder.
“Pinel-nim. From here on, let’s proceed according to my plan.”
The one who stopped him was Balagu, the orc who had altered his appearance with illusion magic to take on the face of Namgung Jeongbaek.
“If my assumptions are correct and Namgung Jeongbaek has abandoned the castle... we can take it without shedding a drop of blood.”
