Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans

A bloody battle between the dead and the living took place on earth.

“Titus. Go first.”

Rachel shook her head at Titus.

Titus, a battle-type family member who participated as a musketeer commander in the Lizardman expedition. He also took part in this expedition and became a commander leading his family.

351 followers, 8 necromancers, and 2,000 white bones disappeared to the other side of the forest following him.

“We move too.”

Moments later, the rest of the group stood up.

click, click

The army of lions passed through the forest with the sound of bones crashing.

It wasn’t a plain, so it wouldn’t be easy to walk, but no one fell.

The training period was only a few weeks, but walking was the basic of the basics.

Even this would have to be seen as incompetent by other sorcerers who were sloppy.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

While the army of lions led by Rachel passed through the forest with skillful steps, the battle between the Kiryan army and the allied forces intensified.

“No, let go!”

f*ck!

When the ogre’s fist struck the lizardman’s head, the head shattered like a watermelon and the body was pinned to the ground.

“Like this dog…!”

Crying, the beast bit the enemy’s neck.

The allied forces, who had stood up against the monster troops at best, quickly entered a melee, and continued a tight battle in which neither side was easily pushed back.

“Push more!”

Kiryan hit the armrest on the palanquin.

At the same time as the conflict, the situation turned unfavorable to Kiryan.

To the extent that he could spot it even if he had no eye for tactics.

“Don’t be pushed! You can just hold on!”

The monster troops in the center held up well.

However, the undead troops on the left and right were just pieces of paper.

Being swept away by the undead was a thing, but the degree was severe. Since the level of the allied forces was quite high, numerical superiority was meaningless.

“Aagh! Fool! Fools!”

It was fortunate that the necromancer’s orders were absolute, and the dead could not think.

If the undead had even a little bit of intelligence, if they had even a little bit of emotion, they would have fled.

Whoa!

“My, my body…!”

A necromancer’s body melted.

Hundreds of zombies and skeletons he had been managing also collapsed.

“What the hell is our wizard doing!”

“Keep it! You can’t survive that way!”

The Necromancer was helpless in the attack of the Allied Wizards.

ugh—

The 12 necromancers gathered in the place where magic power was concentrated, causing a huge explosion and a pillar of fire soaring into the sky.

A pillar of fire that was tens of meters long.

After the fire died down, nothing was left. The death of 4,100 zombies and skeletons on the left wing only informed the fact that the necromancers were dead.

“Mo, I can’t stand it! The barrier is broken!”

“The magic power is… great!”

The power difference was too great.

The allied mage was an unstoppable opponent no matter how hard Kiryan’s mages struggled. Even if you were only defending, damage continued to occur in various places as if there was a hole in the dam.

The Allies ignored the melee in the center.

He advanced while aiming for the necromancer on both sides. If the left and right wings collapse, what will happen to the center? It is fate to be naturally surrounded and annihilated.

“Hold on! Don’t back down!”

Kiryan went around the front line and shouted.

He raised his magic and defeated the enemy’s magic, but he couldn’t stop the crumbling wires. Because the gap is not at a level that he can overturn by himself.

“Oh no! Kiryan-sama!”

The servant who followed the guy by his side reported.

Originally, several servants accompanied him, but all of them were sent to the front and died. Now, the one remaining servant realized the reality and stopped him.

“Damn it… why did this happen! I was sure to win!”

Regret came with anger.

He should have thrown the undead as bait and retreated.

Edar would finally remember what he was thinking.

‘If I had retreated right away, I would have kept my main force even if I lost a lot of undead…’

I wondered what it would be like to retreat now.

But how? The main force is fighting a melee?

How did you get it out of the melee?

‘If at least I did damage to the enemy…!’

It didn’t do much damage to enemies either.

It only took a little time, and they were being unilaterally slaughtered.

‘My father won’t forgive me.’

Kiryan trembled.

To be killed by the enemy or by Vlad.

Death was almost certain.

“Even if you die, take at least one guy! I mean, don’t die in vain!”

Just as I was screaming in anger, the bushes not far from the right wing shook.

“Undead?”

A group of undead appeared in the bushes.

Only 2,000 skeletons and zombie troops.

A detached unit led by Titus.

“are you kidding!”

The anticipation that had risen for a moment suddenly faded.

“What would you do with a skeleton!”

Kiryan realized the owner of that unit and became nervous.

No matter how desperate it is, the pride of the clan is high.

Mere human help only aroused anger, not gratitude.

“Stupid bloodbag bastard! Don’t be an idiot for not having experience! What can you do with only 2,000 undead!”

With a cornered heart, he spat out harsh accusations.

Knocking…!

See how the enemy responds.

Only 50 cavalry were sent.

It meant that 2,000 undead could be dealt with with fewer than 50 cavalry.

In fact, if you combine the two sides, the number is close to 70,000, but what is the meaning of 50 cavalry units leaving the front?

“Look! That’s uh—”

Ride on and on!

But the ridicule quickly disappeared.

Because the cavalryman became a cold corpse with a single volley.

Like when you catch 20 beasts.

“what?”

Kiryan widened his eyes.

It must have been the same for the enemy commander.

“——! ———!”

The family’s familiar, the crow, inspected the enemy lines.

The enemy commander waved his arms with a flushed face and shouted in anger.

No voice was heard, but 600 cavalry and 1,000 infantry waiting in reserve moved to his roar.

“Don’t be offended! The enemy has an unknown artifact!”

Their expressions were different from those of the cavalry who had been wiped out immediately before. The will to step on the opponent clearly without looking down on them was clearly evident.

Tadadadadang!

Second salvo.

Many of the 600 cavalry were knocked out.

But the assault did not stop. I was not surprised because I had witnessed the power of the volley earlier. I just run at it with more courage and anger.

He jumped over his fallen comrades and collided with 2,000 undead troops.

“···sh*t.”

Kiryan shook his head with a voice half full of regret.

The undead unit that appeared out of nowhere definitely had a powerful shot.

To the point where the heart that laughed at Edar disappeared in an instant.

“I wish I had told you earlier!”

But what’s the point if you can’t maintain firepower?

The moment the cavalry attached, the battle was over.

At least there should have been an escort.

“Long live the Emperor!”

But it wasn’t over.

A shout of unknown which emperor it was calling out to.

After the charge, the allied cavalry cavalry engaged in a melee with the undead, the cavalry under their wing attacked the bush and rushed.

“…!”

There was no way to stop the charge of the enemy, who was only swinging his weapon in place.

“her.”

And the enemy cavalry was annihilated.

The 600 cavalrymen withstood the volley but could not withstand the ensuing charge.

The infantry chasing the cavalry also hesitated at the sudden appearance of the cavalry, but were also annihilated by the third volley and cavalry charge.

“——!”

The enemy commander shouted something.

Because now the enemy has no reserves to mobilize.

Out of the 16,000 allied troops, the reserve force was close to 3,000, but as the battle lengthened and the victory began, most of them were sent to the front.

The few remaining reserves had just been annihilated.

There were no troops to regroup and send to the approaching undead troops.

“Should I see it as an opportunity…?”

Kiryan narrowed his eyes and pondered.

I gave the enemy a shot, and that one shot was still left.

But can the charter be reversed like this? Even so, there are less than 2,000 undead, right? In addition to the undead, there were a handful of cavalrymen who slaughtered enemy cavalry.

But the number was really just a handful.

‘Humans played an active part, but… I can’t turn the tide of the war with less than 2,000.’

You can force losses on an enemy without reserves.

But that’s all, was his judgment.

I don’t know if it has 5 times the same power as that.

glance

Kiryan involuntarily looked back.

Atop the hill, Edar was looking down at him.

I’m just sitting on the stump and resting my chin on it.

For some reason, I got goosebumps and shivered violently.

‘I think I heard a human.’

It was only for a moment, but I felt that I was not human.

However, Kiryan shook his head while reassuring himself that it could not be. Now was not the time to think about it. I had to protect the wires that had barely prevented collapse.

Dung— Dung——

Loud drums rang from the Allied rear.

Beating the drum as if showing off oneself, an undead unit appeared.

The undead unit led by Rachel, 15,000 undead.

Both the allied forces and Kiryan were shocked by the appearance of nearly 10 undead troops who destroyed the reserves from the flank.

“There were more…? really?”

Kiryan opened his mouth wide and covered it with his hand.

Hopefully, I thought. Did they give 15,000 undead the same armaments as the undead troops holding the reserve? If so, how can the enemy stop it?

“—! ———!”

It was the same idea as the enemy.

The commander shouted urgently and gave several instructions.

However, there was no power around him that could enable him to move.

If there is no reserve, where would they bring in soldiers to protect them?

“Did you even think of this?”

I mumbled to myself and looked back again.

Edar no longer looked at Kiryan.

Calmly looked over the battlefield.

pop! Perbung!

The troops led by Rachel differed from those of Titus in terms of armament.

There were field guns and siege guns that Titus didn’t have.

The siege artillery fired at the Allies.

Kwakwang!

The magic power of the allies was clearly high.

However, they are all put into the front line.

Many of Kiryan’s wizards survived and continued to resist. How many people will come if I have to come and steal them to the rear?

bang!

“aaagh!”

A wizard was hit by a blinding cannonball and had his leg ripped off.

“That’s gunpowder, the weapon that blood bags use…?”

Even though Kiryan couldn’t feel the magic, he shuddered at the destructive power comparable to that of the wizard’s magic.

“If all the undead could be armed like that…”

The war situation was rapidly declining, and the allied forces were deprived of the victory they had captured.

The enemy commander was different from Kiryan.

he realized

The fact that more fighting would only lead to annihilation.

“The enemy runs away!”

“No… you can’t run away.”

At the servant’s cry, Kiryan shook his head.

On the left wing, Edar’s troops, who had been standing at a distance, were advancing at a speed. A move to close the only retreat on the enemy’s right wing.

It was undead, so if they tried to break through with all their strength, they would have broken through, but Edar placed a handful of muskets among the 21,000 undead.

In the confusion, the enemy mistook the undead troops appearing on the right wing as having the same armament as the undead troops appearing on the left wing and rear. They have only one choice.

“The weakest place is the trap.”

Kiryan thought Edar had said so.

I couldn’t hear her voice, but her mouth was like that.

“Did you play into that person’s hands from the beginning?”

Kiryan laughed and lowered his head.

A breakthrough towards the relatively few Titus troops.

And the command was annihilated by the people who waited for this.

The allied forces lost their morale and were annihilated by Rachel who struck from the rear.

“It was an easy fight.”

Edar hugged Mersephone and threw a word.

Kiryan couldn’t resist and kept his mouth shut.

It’s like taking the role of an anvil or a decoy unwillingly, but the angry Edar’s army was too intense.

Looking at Edar’s eyes, he proposed with a softened tone.

“…if your army joins my father, the representative system won’t do either. Let’s straighten up the army and move on. We have to join before Dad takes his turn.”

“No, I am not joining.”

Kiryan blinked.

“what? What are you thinking?”

“From Vlad’s point of view, isn’t it beneficial even if we annihilated the enemy army? However, it is intact enough to defeat the enemy and continue the operation immediately.”

“That’s why I have to join my father all the more!”

“why?”

“Because it will help if Dad spins!”

When Edar smiled, Kiryan was taken aback.

“What. what does it mean?”

“What if Vlad doesn’t spin?”

“Why is your father avoiding fights?”

“Even if we win, the battle situation will not change. It is better to let the representative system wear out by dragging out time. Isn’t it difficult for the Allied Forces to invade other countries in winter?”

The land is plentiful, but the population is extremely scarce.

How do we feed an army of over 100,000 in a country like this?

Since local supply is impossible, supply must be sent from the home country.

Time itself runs quite unfavorably against the representative system.

“So Vlad will wait for the winter to pass. With a numerical advantage, preoccupying the terrain that is advantageous for defense while keeping distance so that the opponent cannot easily run into it.”

Originally, they should join together to solidify their numerical superiority.

However, thanks to the annihilation of the enemy legion, it is possible to build a numerical superiority even without joining. Then there is no reason to join and be dragged along.

There are better options.

“so? What are you trying to do?”

“If the enemy had gathered an army for a large-scale rotation, it would have created a vulnerability. Go for it and occupy it.”

Kiryan sighed.

“Hey, if you take a city or two, the enemy—”

“We will go south and recover the capital.”

Edar stabbed his left breast with his index finger.

“I will give you back my lost heart. Are there dwarves? I want to show people who are only good at dexterity what the gap in technology is.”

Vampire Consulting (6)

###

“hmm.”

A dwarf brushed his beard on the outer walls of the capital of Mycenae.

His gaze turned to the skeletons piling stones under the castle walls.

click, click

A group of skeletons were repairing the walls.

The dwarf Taznok stuck out his tongue at the sight of repairing the collapsed castle wall by dividing the process, such as stacking stones and mixing lime with sand to knead.

“It’s bizarre.”

I shifted my gaze and saw the necromancer.

The necromancer who controls the skeleton was a dwarf.

A criminal who belonged to Taznok, but turned into a vampire and betrayed his own people.

Two dwarf warriors glared at the necromancer.

If he had any nonsense in mind, he would explode his head right away.

yes-

The necromancer spread his index and middle fingers on his clenched fist.

When the magic power gathered at the tips of the two fingers and the hands moved, several skeletons broke away from the group and intervened in another process.

“I may be hard-headed, but I don’t like the way you treat the dead. Aren’t you?”

Taznok asked his colleague Elsdorim, who was standing next to him.

He groaned, narrowed his eyes, and replied.

“But if I could handle it, it would be better than a human.”

“Better than humans? Which side?”

“If you put up with that rattling sound, you won’t have to worry about anything other than supplying mana. Humans consume food, are vulnerable to contagious diseases, and get tired quickly, but skeletons do not.”

“Mmm.”

Taznok groaned in discomfort and looked at the skeleton again.

The work done by clicking and clicking bones was not at the level of being sophisticated. If he was a human, he would have worked more elaborately.

“One magician controls hundreds of them. Sophistication is bound to have limits. However, considering the trend of finding humans getting more and more difficult day by day, it seems okay to replace them with undead even if they suffer a loss in sophistication.”

Taznok opened his eyes wide to see Elsdorim.

“Are you serious?”

Elsdorim’s tone was not nonsense.

The will to introduce necromancers and their magic as a substitute for human slaves was clear.

“What can I not do?”

“The magic that a necromancer uses is closely related to Tiamar.”

To be precise, it was Akakosque’s power, but since Akakosk was eaten by Tiamar, it was difficult to separate the two.
