Overgeared

“There is no access from here on.”

At the road to Kars, capital of the Cho Kingdom...

He picked a rough mountain road to move, but the defense was thorough. It was clear what it would be like elsewhere. Even a single ant wouldn’t be able to enter Kars.

“I have business in Kars. When will the access restrictions be lifted?”

“I’m not sure... the capital can’t be blocked forever, so I think it will be released soon.”

“Can I ask what incident happened?

“What incident? We are just preparing for an important festival, so we’re temporarily blocking anyone outside from entering.”

“Is that so? Then keep up the good work.”

The capital was the heart and face of the kingdom. It wasn’t good if it was known that something had happened in the capital, so he understood the position of the Cho Kingdom.

Kraugel politely bade farewell to the soldiers before secretly using True Clouds. Blue clouds covered the foggy mountains and the soldiers’ five senses were temporarily paralyzed. Kraugel leisurely passed through the blockade.

“Why are there clouds all of a sudden...?”

The bewildered soldiers couldn’t imagine that the handsome young man who just went back had already passed by them.

Upon arriving in Kars, Kraugel examined the city while avoiding the eyes of the soldiers. There were white bones scattered throughout the city and traces of tombstones being excavated. It was clear that the reason for the collapse of the street houses and palace walls was a necromancer’s invasion. There were also traces of at least a dozen necromancers invading.

‘This...?’

Kraugel frowned as he searched through the rubble of a wall. The wall’s surface was uneven like they had been cut with a saw, but there were no cracks in the cut part. It was proof that a saw blade, not a sword blade, had cut the wall quickly in one blow. Kraugel knew the master of this swordsmanship.

‘Cao.’

The orc warrior death knight. It was none other than Agnus’ servant. In other words, it meant there weren’t dozens of necromancers who invaded Kars. It was Agnus alone. Agnus had been working alone since he abandoned Immortal.Some people might argue that one player couldn’t turn a big city into ruins.

‘They are safe despite Agnus’ invasion.’

Kraugel’s thoughts were the opposite. He was greatly impressed with Kars’ power, which protected the city after Agnus’ invasion.

‘Is it the power of the red phoenix?’

Kraugel quickly inferred the reason why Agnus failed to capture Kars. The loss of the Kars army was surprisingly small. There were few casualties, so Agnus had difficulty securing bodies and he eventually had to withdraw. It must’ve been possible because the power of the red phoenix continued to heal the wounds of the soldiers.
