The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 520: Determination to resist

When faced with their daughter's problems, fathers are always unreasonable.

Grand Duke Freyr's eyes kept moving back and forth between Li's forehead, neck, and heart.

Li had no doubt that if he lost his concentration for even a moment, Mueller would definitely draw his sword and stab him.

"General!"

"…I am dealing with personal matters. Everyone, leave!"

The soldiers who came to check were waved away by Mueller, and only Mueller and Lee were left at the scene.

Muller's face was full of conflict. He hesitated for a long time, but finally gave up his murderous intent.

"Weize Li, why are you running to the seaside instead of staying in the North?"

Mueller's eyes were very serious. Now he was asking questions as a general.

Li suddenly appeared on the beach and was said to have had a conflict with the devil. Whether it was a conflict or something else, Mueller had to be careful to distinguish.

"Well... Grand Duke Freyr, you don't have to be so nervous. My purpose for coming here is very simple. I just want to sightsee."

"Sightseeing? Guess whether I believe it or not!"

The southern coast, this area is synonymous with the devil's land in the kingdom.

Not to mention sightseeing, no one would come here even if they were offered change.

"I don't know how you deceived the king and messed up the kingdom. I didn't have time to take care of the affairs in the north before, but since you bumped into me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Muller stood up again, and the sword came out of his body again.

Muller in front of him is a representative of the conservative aristocracy, and he has irreconcilable conflicts with Li.

"Let's have a fight. If I win, you get to stay here forever. If you win, you can leave."

The serious attitude made Li give up his playful thoughts. He knew that it would be difficult to pass Muller, but he did not expect that Muller was actually so petty.

"The conditions you proposed are totally unfair. I refuse your invitation to duel."

"Fairness, what kind of fairness do you want?"

"You also said that if I fail, I will stay here forever. If I win, I want you to leave here!"

Lee modified the cost of duels to make the outcomes more balanced.

Mueller could not accept such conditions.

"I am the guardian of the defense line, and I will never leave my post!"

"Really? But the demons have already broken through the defenses and are now haunting the kingdom. Are you sure that staying here can guarantee the safety of the kingdom?"

"What did you say!"

Muller was still unaware that Viper and other magicians of the Eye of Truth had already smuggled into the central part of the kingdom.

Nor was it known that those dangerous potions were quietly circulating among the nobles.

"Grand Duke Freyr, I advise you to find an opportunity to return to the kingdom to report on your duties. Being too far away from the political center will not be good for a commander like you."

Mueller naturally knew that what Li said made sense. In fact, he had long wanted to go back to the capital to take a look.

But the mission he carried out prevented him from leaving here.

Otherwise, my daughter wouldn’t have been deceived by that bastard Li!

"...Wait a minute, you have been calling me Grand Duke Freyr since just now. You must know my name!"

Mueller suddenly caught Li's pain point and he paused for a moment.

Li really didn't know what Grand Duke Freyr's name was. Although the two had some interactions in the dream world, Li had never learned each other's name.

Muller seemed to have suddenly found a sore spot and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"You claim to be my daughter's fiancé, but you don't even know the name of my father-in-law. It should be okay for me to chop you twice~"

"Uh... please show some mercy, father-in-law!"

"Yue, you bastard, you little brat from the Weize family, give me your life!"

Just as Mueller and Lee were about to continue their duel, it was interrupted by a long sirens.

The moment Mueller heard the voice, he left the reception room with a gloomy face.

Li was still a little confused, and then he saw the knight captain, whom he had met before, who greeted him with a depressed look on his face.

"Who is this voice?"

"The demons are attacking again."

Li's heart sank.

"Can I see it?"

"Please come with me."

The knight captain led Li to climb to the top of the castle and soon reached a towering magic tower.

Several magicians were preparing for the next battle, with soldiers beside them carrying magic stones and spellcasting materials for them.

Li and the knight found a corner where they were not in the way and looked silently at the distant coast.

The port city is some distance away from the sea. Standing on the magic tower, one can only see an inconspicuous dividing line on the skyline.

On the side of the port city facing the sea, several legions have already been assembled on the long beach made of sea sand.

"As expected of a knight group guarding the border, their speed in preparing for battle is first-rate!"

"Thanks for the compliment!"

Li Neng was able to praise the Knights Templar, making the knights around him proud as well.

However, what Li said next made the knight feel ashamed.

"Everyone's gone to fight, is it okay for you to stay with me?"

"…Because of someone's relationship, I am currently under punishment and am not eligible to lead the team."

"The someone you mentioned, isn't it me?"

The knight's cheek twitched. It seemed that Li was deliberately mocking him rather than being self-aware.

Seeing that the knight was unwilling to pay attention to him, Li simply focused his attention on the battlefield in the distance.

Through the flags flying above the legion, Li could easily identify the affiliation of each team, and immediately found the Freyr Knights led by Muller.

The Freyr Knights were in good order, but their horses were generally in poor condition.

War horses are not good at coping with the climate and soil conditions at the seaside. Only because the Freyr family's war horses have a trace of dragon blood can they barely sustain long-term combat.

Except for the Freyr Legion, most of the other gathered legions were infantry, and most of the equipment of these infantry was also in a damaged state.

Li only took a quick look and became worried about the human army in front of him.

Li felt that if the war continued for a few more years, humans might lose this coastal defense line.

"You worry too much. The kingdom will not give up this line of defense, and we will fight to the last man!"

As if he had noticed Li's worry, the knight captain patted his chest confidently.

"I never doubt your determination to resist, but to resist a strong enemy, you need great strength!"

Li's words poured cold water on the knight captain. Even the battle mage next to him and the soldiers on guard showed a look of loss on their faces.

No one would doubt that the coastal defense line was the most elite legion in the kingdom, but in recent years, the defense line had been patched up but rarely increased on a large scale.

The youngest soldier on the front line has fought here for seven or eight years or more. There are no new recruits to take over, and all that is left for the kingdom is a huge hidden danger!

hum!

In the distant military formation, war horns sounded in unison. At the end of the horizon, some black spots emerged from the ocean and attacked the human army that had arranged its battle formation.

This was a large-scale battle, and the number of troops deployed at the beginning exceeded those small-scale conflicts in the central part of the kingdom.

"Prepare for battle! Make sure those demons never return!"
