"There is indeed a unique smell of decay, the smell is like the fermentation of a corpse..."
Although there is no concept of "undead" in the main world, if the corpses on the battlefield are not dealt with, they will emit this pungent stench.
And everyone present had walked out of a sea of blood and corpses, so how could they not recognize this smell?
"Come to think of it, His Majesty Krober once told us that there are creatures called undead in this world. I guess this is the smell they carry."
"How about His Majesty Aditya go back and report to His Majesty Krober, while we stay here and keep watch?"
As the most attentive person in the room, Valentine offered the most appropriate advice at this time.
"Okay, I'll be back soon."
Aditya did not object because he knew this method was the safest one so far.

Just as the outside world began searching because of Catheric's arrival, he was still in the realm of the dead trying to avoid the magic circle set up by Krober.
However, most of the area of Michael's Forest has been built into an iron wall by Krober, and even the magic given to him by Melkor cannot make it possible to sneak in without alerting the enemy.
The red Netherstone on his chest was shining, and it was also an important tool for him to use the power of Melkor.
Divine Art - Realm of the Dead!
This is a magic exclusive to Melkor.
Its essence is an advanced version of the legendary necromancy spell, Undead Sky. Compared with the former, its power and effect have made a qualitative leap.
What was originally limited to the material level has now evolved into a special field involving spatial rules.
The uniqueness of the realm of the dead lies in the fact that it can not only cleverly conceal the vast army of the undead from the outside world, but also has the magical ability to move freely in the material world.
However, this shuttle is not without restrictions.
In certain specific situations, such as areas that are carefully arranged with defensive measures such as magic circles, the realm of the dead will be blocked and unable to enter and exit as they wish.
It was for this reason that Catheric revealed his whereabouts prematurely.
At that time, he was trying to use the realm of the dead to sneak into Michael's Forest quietly, but he never expected that when the realm of the dead touched the magic circle carefully arranged by Krober, he could no longer move forward.
In desperation, Catheric was forced to show up.
Just as he walked out of the realm of the dead, two figures dressed in magician's costumes suddenly appeared in front of him.
There they were concentrating on perfecting the magic circle that blocked Catheric's way.
This situation instantly ignited the anger in Catheric's heart.
He knew very well that if he allowed these two people to continue strengthening the magic circle, it would become extremely difficult for him to break through here again in the future.
So, without hesitation, Catheric swung the hammer in his hand and rushed towards the two magicians with the force of thunder.
Then what happened next was the scene that happened at the beginning.
After circling the vast Michael Forest for a full circle, Catheric, with his keen insight and excellent judgment, finally succeeded in finding a hidden and feasible path that would allow him to easily penetrate into the core area of the forest.
As night falls, everything is quiet and the whole world seems to be immersed in tranquility.
At this moment, Catheric was like a ghost hidden in the darkness, lurking silently at the edge of the forest.
He waited quietly for the best opportunity to come.
Once the time is right, he will activate this realm of the dead without hesitation, instantly releasing the huge army hidden deep in the forest.
These undead warriors who have been imprisoned for a long time have been eager to fight, eager to show their skills in this battle and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
Meanwhile, Kroeber's side was completely unaware of the impending danger.
After a long and fruitless day of searching, they still could not find any trace of the so-called intruder.
Gradually, the tense nerves in the soldiers' minds began to relax, and the vigilance in their hearts slowly dissipated.
After all, some time has passed since they came to this world, and everything has been calm and nothing unusual has happened.
Many people began to secretly speculate that perhaps those mysterious invaders just happened to pass by here and took care of the two unfortunate guys.
Due to being in this relatively comfortable and peaceful environment for a long time, the sharp edges of most soldiers have been worn away, and even their inner fear of war and awe of discipline have become increasingly weak.
If it weren't for Krober's good military management and strict military discipline, these soldiers would have been perfunctory and slacking off even in their daily patrol tasks.
"Why do we have to patrol so often? We've already taken over the entire forest. We've searched it so many times, so how could there be any enemies?"
A young knight in heavy armor was complaining to his companion beside him.
"Then go ask the adults why they're patrolling. It would be best if you could ask His Majesty Krober why he wants us to increase patrols."
His companions were equally dissatisfied.
In the territory, he is the high and mighty Earl, the Knight of the Earth! He controls the life and death of all the people in the territory.
But what about now?
In this camp, he is at most a patrol leader and a minion.
"Forget it then. Lord Krober must have his reasons for asking us to do that, but we just don't know them."
The young knight scratched his head. He still had a good impression of his idol.
"cut....."
The two of them chatted while patrolling.
It was not until the unusual movement outside the camp attracted their attention that they walked up to the city wall to check.
"Oh no! Enemy attack! Go trigger the alarm quickly, I'll go call for help!"
The young knight quickly ran to the watchtower, slapped the dozing soldier awake, and then used his own fighting spirit to activate the alarm switch nearby.
In an instant, a shrill alarm sounded and the entire camp fell into panic.
Some of the stronger knights quickly put on their armor and went to the city wall to see what was going on.
"What is this? Could it be the undead spirit that His Majesty Krober told us about during the meeting?"
A fantasy beast knight looked at the skeleton not far away and asked with a frown.
