One of the four Heavenly Kings under the Demon King, the Death Soul King, the Great Lich Pelid.
This is the Heavenly King who deals with humanity, an undead demon who has lived for over a thousand years and possesses formidable strength.
As for why this guy is the Heavenly King here?
Although the Demon King appeared extremely arrogant, he used the power of the Demon race to summon the entire world.
However, it also has its own confidence and its own grasp of the situation.
Each Heavenly King, and their demonic army, are the best configuration for their respective opponents.
For example, in the dwarven kingdom that El is going to, the dwarves are skilled in firepower and build war fortifications based on the environment.
The king who dealt with the dwarves was a mountain giant. His enormous body made him immune to most weapons, and he could gain regenerative power just by standing on the ground. With a simple movement, he could crush most of the dwarves' work.
The same applies here. Compared to other races, humans have a relatively shorter lifespan, but they reproduce quickly and can realize their growth potential relatively quickly.
At the front lines, five ordinary soldiers can be exchanged for one minotaur. Skilled crossbowmen can use ballistae to kill harpies. The resource consumption for training on both sides is completely different, making this a huge loss for the demons.
Therefore, through the lich's necromancy, the corpses on the battlefield can be resurrected, the morale of the living can be lowered, and the war can be sustained through war.
As El approached the border, he happened to encounter a horde of skeletons launched by the High Lich.
"Crack, crack..."
On the ground, there was a dense, clattering sound of bones colliding; just by looking down, one could see that the earth had turned white.
"many……"
The overwhelming number of skeleton soldiers, most of them had no flesh left on their bodies, and their bones were rather dull in color, driven solely by magical power.
There were also some that looked like they hadn't been dead long, with rotting flesh and bones mixed together, which was disgusting to look at.
For the first time, Al felt like his trypophobia was about to kick in.
These skeletons, acting on the lich's orders, charged toward the human kingdom's defenses.
Humanity has experienced this many times before, and the commander remained steadfast in the face of this hellish scene before him.
"Ready, fire!"
"boom……"
The defensive line's mage squad took the lead, using fire magic to ignite the corpses before them, turning the fragile bones into ashes bit by bit under the intense heat.
The magician won't be allowed to stay in power for very long, because this is a protracted war, and the magician must conserve some magic power for unforeseen circumstances.
The incantation ceased, and the remaining flames formed a wall of fire, weakening the undead's power.
Immediately afterwards, the cannons were aimed at the still-shaking skeletons and fired directly.
"Bang...bang...bang..."
We didn't use those magical projectiles; it would be a waste to use them against skeletons.
The cannon fires ordinary iron balls, requiring only simple gunpowder, and the iron balls can be recycled.
The shell used its kinetic energy to shatter the bones, rendering the undead unable to move.
Similarly, this process is repeated for a period of time before switching to the next unit, ensuring that the undead cannot advance and that your own troops do not become excessively fatigued.
However, after observing for about five minutes, El noticed that the coordination on the border was excellent, but the undead continued their charge, seemingly endless.
"It's my turn to make a move."
It fell from mid-air, and at the same time, powerful magic gathered on the holy sword.
The elements of lightning and fire intertwined on the holy sword, and due to El's charging up, the explosive power became even stronger.
If it weren't for El's control and the fact that the Holy Sword is almost indestructible, this thing would have exploded long ago.
"This move swept away thousands of troops..."
