Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate
chapter-475-1

Lux and his friends wanted to see just what kind of battle was taking place inside the Glouswell Forest, so they observed the battle from a distance.

General Fahad told him that General Revon of the Ammarian Army was a seasoned warrior, as well as an Instinctive General who followed his gut feeling in every situation.

Because of this, it was difficult to predict his next moves, and even the most famous strategists of the Yelan Kingdom, like Sherlock, were unable to set an effective trap for him over the past few years.

Because of this, General Carran, who was also a seasoned warrior and excelled in strategy, decided to face him in this important battle between the two Kingdoms.

With the faith of his Kingdom hanging in the balance, the Yelan General employed effective tactics in order to prevent the Ammarian Army from breaking through their defensive lines.

General Revon's strategy was quite simple, and that was to personally lead his men to battle. Unlike other Generals in the Ammarian Army, General Revon always stood on the front lines and would be the first to stab his weapon across enemy lines.

Most people looked down on his daredevil way of fighting because once he died, his army would fall apart and would be left at the mercy of his enemies.

For twenty long years, General Revon had used this strategy time and time again, and to this day, he was still alive and kicking, proving how formidable he was on the battlefield.

In fact, he had earned the reputation of being the most deadly General on the battlefield, and no one wanted to fight him head-on in any campaign he participated in.

"He is very different from General Phobus, who only commanded from the rear," Einar commented. "But, it's a shame that I can't see his technique clearly. The trees are blocking my view."

It was not only Einar who felt disappointed due to the lack of visual opportunities, which would allow them to have a better grasp of their enemy's strategy.

However, the most disappointed of them all was Lux, who had a frown on his face as he looked at the current spread of the forces on the battlefield.

When they were passing through the Glouswell Forest, he had summoned his two Doppelgangers and tasked them to collect the dead bodies of the Ammarian Soldiers and bury them in the ground, to be used as "land mines" in the future, just in case they needed to retreat to the Glouswell Forest after being defeated in the marshlands.

However, the traps that he had prepared beforehand, weren't able to be put to good use because, for some reason, the Ammarian Soldiers steered clear from it.

'I'm sure that General Revon has been told about what happened to General Phobus' army, but for a large army, to be able to evade my traps completely is simply impossible,' Lux thought. 'Does he have some kind of ability to see the dead bodies I buried underground?'

Lux didn't know if this was part of General Revon's instinctive abilities or not, but he was starting to feel that the General could tell where the traps were laid out, and ordered his men to stay away from those locations.

Two hours later, the battle ended and both armies retreating to their respective sides.

General Carran and General Revon had clashed with each other, but just like their usual fights, their battle ended in a draw.

Lux and his friends could only catch glimpses of the great battle between the two Generals because the trees blocked the majority of the fighting from their vantage point.

They only knew that the two Generals had engaged the other when several trees were uprooted at once.

But, as if not wanting either side to get a detailed glimpse of their fighting abilities, both of them would dart back inside the forest and continue their battle there, to the disappointment of everyone looking for a good show to watch.

"Ishtar, Lazarus, you already know what to do," Lux said as soon as he summoned his two Named Creatures.

"Yes, Master."

"I will do as you command, Master."

Ishtar and Lazarus then moved towards the forest in order to start their mission of hunting down the scouting parties of the Ammarian Army, which was responsible for gathering information on the location, as well as placement of the troops of the Yelan Army.

"Orion, Pazuzu, both of you do the usual," Lux ordered as he summoned the Jade Golem, as well as the Fortress Defender, to do the dirty work for the Half-Elf.

"Understood, Master." Orion replied.

"By your will, Master," Pazuzu stated.

Accompanying the two of them were the Undead Army and the Rock Golems whose role was to gather and bury the dead bodies of the Ammarian Soldiers and bury them underground to be used at a later time for Lux's Corpse Explosion skill.

This was the only thing that the Half-Elf could do at this point in time because he didn't want to go anywhere near the Instinctive General that made even Cai feel threatened.

Suddenly, something moved at the corner of Lux's eyes, which made him arch his eyebrow.

A familiar person rose up from the ground, dozens of meters away from the Half-Elf, and held a white flag in his hands.

It was none other than Jasper, the temporary leader of the survivors of the Factions that belonged to the Skystead Alliance, Xynnar War Pact, Six Kingdoms, and Storm Dragon Guild.

"Can we talk?" Jasper asked with a smile as he stood dozens of meters away from Lux.

"Okay," Lux replied as he and his friends shifted their gaze to the Initiate who was standing a good distance away from them.

Jasper wanted to confirm if all the members of Lux's team had returned to the Sacred Dungeon to challenge the Gate of Conquest.

After seeing that all of them were there, he decided to talk to them for a bit in order to get a better understanding of their future course of action.

"Is there really no way for both of our sides to cooperate?" Jasper asked. "We came here to clear the Dungeon of Conquest together, but here we are, standing on opposite sides of the battlefield. No matter how I look at it, this is a lose-lose situation for all of us."

In truth, Jasper wanted to know if Lux and the others, with the exception of Henrietta and Malcolm, could enter the Gate of Conquest a third time after dying twice.

He had a feeling that this special privilege was only awarded to those who had cleared the other gates of the Sacred Dungeon, and if this was true, then they could enter the dungeon repeatedly despite dying many times.

Naturally, he didn't think that this was possible. But, if the possibility existed, then fighting against Lux, and the five others who had accompanied him in the previous gates, was a losing battle.

In truth, Lux believed that if they died again inside the Gate of Conquest, they would be immediately kicked out of the Sacred Dungeon, and would be forced to return from outside the Gate of the Domain of the Fallen.
