Chapter 187: The Battle to Reclaim Zestrad (3)
"The forces stationed in each village keep getting wiped out."
"Increasing the number of undead hasn't helped."
"We've deployed over a hundred undead per village, but they're still being crushed."
As he listened to the reports from his necromancers, Maloka let out a faint groan. For three days now, his forces had been suffering defeats across the territory. Undead soldiers that weren’t controlled directly by necromancers simply couldn't match the enemy rescue teams. So, he had even tried sending special units that included necromancers.
"But in those cases, they just refused to engage us directly."
What baffled him the most was the fact that the reclamation army had suffered almost no casualties.
"I have no idea what tricks they're using."
"Even if the automatically commanded undead are weaker than directly controlled ones..."
"But the numbers are five or six times in our favor!"
"There's no way we should be crumbling like this!"
Maloka silently clacked his jawbone together. His subordinates might not realize it, but he had encountered a situation like this before.
This brings back unpleasant memories.
