TLN: Changing Richie to Lich, didn’t realize it when I was TL before LOL.

The head of the undead army– Lich couldn’t believe the sight before him.

He led an army of a hundred and marched to the Royal Capital Astaroth.

Only a few guards were waiting for him at the gate, as he had confirmed with his scouts.

He wondered if the Orb of Light had already been moved to another location. However, the reaction to the hidden treasure was definitely coming from within the royal capital.

Had the humans realized that they had no chance of winning and was going to surrender it to them soon?

In any case, he felt that the battle was already won. They would break through the front gate guarded by the guards and attack the capital with a hundred troops.

—- That was the plan.

However, more than an hour had passed since the start of the battle, and there were no signs of entering the gate at all. They still could not break through the gates.

On the contrary, his soldiers were beaten back one by one.

—- This is ridiculous. A hundred troops are being defeated in the blink of an eye! How could you be struggling against just a few guards!?

The answer was simple, the enemy was strong.

The blond woman, who I heard her companions call Spinoza, swung a huge hammer as tall as herself and kicked the undead army in all directions. The skeleton swordsmen were crushed to pieces beyond recognition.

“Keep coming at me! I’ll blow you all away!”

She shouted like a ferocious beast.

In addition, the woman in strange, revealing armor, named Seira, it seems, slays the undead soldiers one after another with her slim, refined sword.

She was quite a skilled swordswoman.

However, with that kind of equipment, landing a single blow at her would be fatal.

When dealing with a large number of undead soldiers, there will always be an opening.

And that gap had just been created.

“Hiyahahaha! I got you! –Kuaaaaaa!”

An arrow pierced the brain of the undead soldier who was trying to kill Seira.

—- Where did the arrow come from!?

I thought there were only three guards, but apparently, there was one more.

They were shooting arrows at us from a place we couldn’t see and supporting the guards.

In addition, there was quite a distance between them, and all the soldiers were moving around furiously during the battle. The fact that they could be killed with a single shot shows how formidable their marksmanship is.

The most important thing is that man.

The strong and sturdy man, who was called Sieg, stood in the line of fire more than anyone else and took the attacks of my soldiers.

Normally, he should have been dead by now.

Despite this, he didn’t seem to have taken any damage at all.

Is he invincible by any chance? He had such extraordinary physical strength and defensive capabilities that I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of fear.

Lich shouted instructions to the undead soldiers.

“Don’t go after that guy! That man is unusually strong! Crush the rest of the guards first!”

“W-we can’t do that! When we go after the other guards, we’ll soon find ourselves focused on that guy…..!”

“It’s as if I’m being forced to target him…”

“What the hell…..!?”

Since a while ago, all the soldiers had been targeting that Sieg guy.

If they are being forced to target him, he’s probably using his skills to get the undead soldiers’ agro on him.

And that’s not all.

All of the attacks I’ve fired at the other guards had all been absorbed by him.

Whether it was swords or magic……

Even with a hundred soldiers attacking him, nothing was working.

If all our attacks are stopped, there’s nothing we can do.

My soldiers would simply be overrun by the fierce attacks of the other guards.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

The undead army led by Lich was supposed to be able to overwhelm the humans who were still weakened from the scars of past battles.

And yet……

Only one person….

The existence of a single guard had thrown everything out of whack.

…..Sieg. He was undoubtedly a monster. An invincible shield….

Perhaps he could even stop the attack of the Demon King, who could easily destroy a whole country.

And so the undead army had been destroyed.

He was the only one left on the battlefield who hadn’t run out of strength.

The man known as Sieg walked up to Lich.

“Don’t come! Don’ come!!!”

Lich fired off a series of high-level magic.

All of them directly hit his body, but he didn’t stop walking.

When he came in front of him, Lich realized that he was defeated and fell to his knees on the spot. Standing amidst the countless corpses of undead soldiers, he sank into a stupor.

The man known as Sieg looked down at him coldly.

“Damn…… If it wasn’t for you…… I could have obtained the Orb of Light in my hands……!”

""

“As long as I’m the gatekeeper, no one shall pass.”

The man named Sieg swung his sword down and cut off Lich’s neck. At this moment, the undead army, which numbered a hundred, was completely obliterated.
