Chapter 74: Attack of the Undead King(Part 1)
"You know, it’s pretty crazy how much better I’m getting to eat out here in the forest than I did in Ruby Village, it was always stuff like stale bread and overripe fruits and vegetables. So, to get to eat fresh food like this for every single meal is like a dream come true," Remarked Ravella, letting out a content sigh as she munched on a juicy, render piece of meat.
"I know, right? I had that exact same thought after I destroyed the church there and woke up in the forest, I got to eat meat for the first time in years, not to mention fresh fruits and berries," Nodded Raven in agreement.
"Yeah, even though we’re living in a forest well away from civilization, we’re living more comfortably than the vast majority of Commoners in the nation. Which is an absolutely insane realization to come to, we’re literally better off in the wild. That’s something we’re going to have to change," Responded Aster with a grimace.
It was the 7th of December, 1918, a couple of days after Raven and Celia attacked the Death Zone and wiped out a fourth of the Undead King’s army.
Of course, they didn’t quite realize just how much of an impact their attack had made and how severely they’d dented his forces, since in their rush to retreat at the end, they hadn’t noticed how effective Raven’s flames mixed with the oil he’d doused had been.
They simply assumed that they’d dealt a small blow to his forces, nothing too significant.
"It’s too bad we’ve had to put our plans on hold thanks to the Undead King...he’ll probably be in a hurry to launch his next attack on the nation after you two wiped out some of his forces. Otherwise, we could just keep attacking him until his army is a fraction of what it currently is," Lexia said to the pair, as she took a bite of an apple.
It was around midday, and The Irregulars were currently relaxing on the grass outside the hideout, having lunch.
"By the way, I forgot to ask...your senses can’t detect the Undead King himself, is it the same with his army?" Inquired Aster curiously.
