Chapter 762: After the End of Battle 3

The recovery took over three days.

Priests in Bless and nearby places had to flock to heal the wounded, and the bodies of the dead were all recovered and sent home or were buried in an official place.

After the memorial of the dead, the surviving soldiers held a festival to commemorate the victory of Bless along with the residents.

Luke and Reina initially didn’t like the idea of having a festival.

It was because the festival was asked to be held right after the memorial was done, and with the destruction because of the battle, various parts of Bless were destroyed and reconstruction was their priority.

In addition, they had to prepare for the attack on Crete, and they had to help the Castia Kingdom and the Irea Kingdom, which were both destroyed by Arsene.

However, the residents wanted to have a festival.

“We led such a great victory, and I think that there is a need for us to celebrate it.”

Priest Luther spoke on behalf of the public.

And there was a need to enlist the people who were in doubt of anxiety into the army.

So, Luke and Reina decided to hold a Victory Festival for just one day.

When the food and alcohol in the Holy Palace were short, the pubs and the restaurants that weren’t swept down in the battles provided food for free.

Nobles and high ranking priests, who valued their fame, openly helped by giving money.

“Wahhh! At that time, with the Gigant I…”

“When my sword broke down, I shut my eyes so tight. Suddenly, Arch Duke Gregory came…”

“Kua! You should have seen the face-off of His Majesty Luke against the Lich King! The explosion and debris falling kilometers away, it was so great!”

Every square in the city was noisy with stories.

Knights, wizards, and fairies, who participated in the battle, shared their stories or what they witnessed.

When the people were enjoying the stories, Luke was communicating with Vladimir.

“You captured the capital of Libiya Kingdom?”

-Yes. Listening in to the dispatch of the commanders, the Libiya army’s counterattack wasn’t what we expected.

‘It could be because they might not have had any new weapons or troops.’

Before Luke had gone over to invade the Baroque Empire, the economy of Libiya Kingdom was destroyed.

It could be because of Arsene’s eagerness to call an Undead army, he didn’t seem to care much about the nation.


Rather, it could also be said that Luke had diverted his attention from the nation by distracting him with other things.

After the last Undead catastrophe, President Vladimir moved the Republican army station in Baroque to attack the Libiya Kingdom.

Luke too agreed with it and asked Marquis Rogers and Count Philip that were stationed in Nemesis to help them out.

Libiya was a nation where the people had already turned into Undead.

The army of Libiya Kingdom must have been hungry and ready to collapse without showing much resistance.

-The nobles, who were in the capital, tried to hit back, but they didn’t last long.

“And no remnants of Veritas Magic Tower?”

-Not yet, but still, in preparation for them, we have moved in the priests and the wizards… They haven’t appeared yet, the warlocks of veritas. I don’t think that they had already escaped.

Shaikan’s cousins and Duke Butler died right away after hitting back.

However, some nobles were said to have fled to an unoccupied area.

So, not just President Vladimir, but even Luke saw the possibility of the remnants of Veritas escaping.

They couldn’t imagine that Arsene, who was dead set on an Undead relationship, killed his own men.

-There was no problem with the subjugation of the units, but I am a little worried about the management of the troops in the occupied area, we are lacking in troops. And the Baroque Empire has been left empty…

President Vladimir was genuinely concerned.

“You don’t have to worry about that. The reinforcements of the Song Empire and Yemaek have come, so matters can be left behind.”

-The reinforcements from the Southern Continent have arrived? How many of them?

Vladimir asked with a bright expression.

“100,000 troops from the Song Empire and 50,000 from Yemaek. I think that they can provide enough support for us from behind.”

-Nice. But how are we going to solve the problem of the other nations?

“Those two nations took up the state of their nations into account and made command posts with those who had a bright future and understanding. We can send in our advisors and help them.”

After that, for about an hour, Luke talked about the detailed explanation of how the occupied areas such as Baroque and Libiya would be managed.

If those areas wouldn’t be managed properly, the outlaws would run wild, and if that happened, once again, the innocent people would suffer.

At the end of the conversation, Luke asked something he was curious about, “Did Duke Dimitry’s funeral go well?”

At his question, President Vladimir nodded with a firm face.

Dimitry was a great contributor to the founding of the Republic and a great swordsman representing Volga.

Therefore, it was difficult for the president and the other leaders of the Republic to accept his death as a reality.

-It was unfortunate for us… But we think it was worth it.

“I am grateful that you think so. I will make sure that the sacrifice of Duke Dimitry and the Knights of the Republic would not be in vain.”

-Well, I request you to do that.

Luke, who was done with his call with Vladimir, began to immediately organize his troops for Crete.

Since a demon of the Devildom was guarding it, it was necessary to compose the troops with powerful and faithful men.
