Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)

"As you know, this undead noise is not a natural occurrence."

Shortly after moving through the tent, Mr. Gilbert came to me with his thoughts.

This disturbance is too abrupt in the first place.

"Undead is what makes a dead man with a strong grudge and jealousy against this world. Someone buried with a grudge against someone gets up and tries to clear up the grudge. If many other people die in the war, there will be a lot of anger on the spot, making it a place where undead can easily occur."

But in this case, neither.

After the outbreak of the undead in the first village, being attacked by that undead caused the undead to go one after the other.

In addition, the land was kept clean thanks to the presence within the Principality of Ishgaria of the Virgin of what is an unclean land in need of the Virgin because there was no such thing as a civil war for a long time and a period of peace.

"In addition to that, the sudden occurrence of an undead in the rear forces"

Undead can easily occur in cemeteries and in battlefield tracks with many dead.

On the contrary, undead rarely occurs in places where people are lively and busy or in high morale battlefields.

That's also more unlikely to be undead by just a few people in the rear.

Not natural.

Plus there's a bunch of undead we've crusaded.

"Something's wrong with that one, too"

For some reason, the cause of the undead outbreak also flowed in the northeast direction.

It is not surprising, then, that it occurs in villages along the way rather than suddenly in a number of remote villages.

"I was waiting for a chance to gather more people who were fleeing northeast"

It is more efficient to create a large number of undead than to convert them to undead on the way to undead and transform them into undead in a situation where a large number of people have gathered.

Absolutely someone's power is working there.

"Someone is artificially creating an undead"

"That's likely"

That's why I wanted Sylvia to have some gear that would also be anti-dead.

Because if she is targeted, she will no longer have the skill to defeat the enemy.

"Everyone in the four houses who heard the report understands that artificial forces are working. I don't think it's easy to send your own power to a place like that."

"I guess so."

We only saw a little, but they seemed the type to pursue their own interests.

It's not like there's no hand in helping the Ishawood family out here and selling their favors, but to them, the disadvantages of losing their power of war made them look more terrible.

If you look at the Virgin and the Samurai, Mr. Mishrina is scratching her cheeks with a bitter smile, and Mr. Claudia was laying face down with her eyes closed.

"As far as I'm concerned, I want to go help you right now"

The report of the decree says the confusion caused by the undead has broken out, but they are still desperately fleeing for the capital.

If the undead are just approaching the capital, the four families have to fight for their power as well.

But at that point, it's like the Ishawood family is losing.

If they get that close, they will see a large group of undead people living in Winkia approaching the capital, which will affect the Ishawood family's comfort.

"I can prepare my battle power. But the morning after tomorrow is the limit of how quickly we can rush to rescue."

It took me three days in a well prepared group.

I need more than a day even if I let him head off with just minimal prep.

I don't know how much undead damage has occurred by then.

I want things resolved as soon as possible, more than the artificial force is working.

"But are you sure?

Mr. Gilbert is talking to us like this because he wants us to go to the rescue.

We got there without taking half a day to get to where the undead was, which was farther away than the undead on the south side. We could probably get there by tomorrow's day's departure if we leave now.

Originally, it's a reckless place, such as sending just a few people to rescue, but we've already gained minimal confidence from defeating 200 undead intact.

Speed and strength were sufficient.

The problem is - the reward.

"We've already defeated 200 undead."

The only reward I had arranged with Mr. Mishrina was for the crusade of 200 undead bodies.

Crusade a large group of undead alone at the party.

Given the circumstances, it had also been decided that it would not be a problem to give them that much reward.

Here, if you rush to rescue without a reward, you will serve free.

I'm not going to lend you that much of a hand.

"Of course I'll let you reward me"

Mr. Gilbert gave me an appointment to give me gold coins according to merit.

In his position, which is only the next Grand Duke, this would be the limit.

"Just one last thing. Please don't put more information about us on the record."

"I understand."

I left all the negotiations to Melissa.

Because it was more certain.

"Well, I'm going, too"

"I don't want you, the Virgin, to go to a very dangerous place..."

"What are you talking about? You have to go to a place where there are many wounded because you are the Virgin. If you say the enemy is undead, it will also help with the attack. Besides, there is a substitute Virgin where I died. After I die, your sister's daughter will take over firmly."

In case, there are those in the Ishawood family who can be the next Virgin.

I heard while I was resting in Winkia that Ms. Mishrina's niece was the most prominent candidate if I were to be chosen as the next Virgin, even considering her age, and strength.

"... Still, it's more important to me that you're my sister"

I can hear Mr. Gilbert talking to us as he leaves the tent.

"You really made it before sunrise."

"It's critical, though."

When the sun came out and the sky began to whiten, I made sure that earthen smoke was rising far away.

Where you can see them, fleeing soldiers and adventurers.

When they left, they should have acted separately from soldiers and adventurers because of the chain of command.

But now that we're on the run, we're running desperately mixed up in guchugs, regardless of each other's identities.

There is only fear in that look.

"... you're here"

Check on the battlefield through the sapphire eagle's sight from above, just as it did a few days ago.

Dozens of adventurers had managed to retreat a large group of undead approaching from the rear while serving as lords. Their goal had already changed the way they fought to stop, not the demise of the undead.

The reason for this was also clear when I saw the composition of the large group of undead.

"You don't mind if I knock you down"

"... I have to stop it"

As for Mr. Mishrina, it's a bitter decision.

Some of the undead wore the same clothes as the soldier who was fleeing. Besides, I can also see a large group of people dressed as peasants, just like the undead we crusaded, dressed in equipment such as swords, spears and armor.

I can expect them to be undead too because they haven't been attacked by the undead around them.

Definitely the fruit of soldiers and adventurers headed for the undead crusade.

Mr. Mishrina looked up thinking that even such people had to be put on their hands.

"It's operational policy for now."

"The magic... you shouldn't use it"

If you use it with the magic of light attributes like I used, you will kill the person who received the magic.

However, the purifying magic used by Melissa does not affect living humans.

But if you let the magic go, albeit unaffected, among a group that is half panicked and confused, the panic may become even more powerful and there may be people injured.

I want to avoid that.

"I'm going in from the front. Come around from left to right with Ira and Iris."

Melee combat using the Holy Sword.

This makes it possible to defeat the undead and go while avoiding the person who caused the panic. Never wanted to give the two of us an active opportunity last time we didn't show up.

"Isn't that dangerous?

It worries me that Ira is going to go in there alone.

The two approaching from left to right have nothing to take back as long as they are careful with the front, but I have to be careful with the left and right as well in the middle.

"No problem."

A magical light envelops my body with purifying power.

It was magic I just tried it out thoughtfully, but I'm glad it seemed to work out for me.

"Let the assault begin."
