The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The command problem of the town’s defense was finally solved, all the people in the town were mobilized, and the situation was developing in a positive direction.

But the real test has just begun.

The kobolds are coming. Standing on the lookout tower of the small town, you can see the kobolds gathering in the distance.

Li and Theresa stood side by side on a high place, watching the status of the Kobold Legion from afar.

The kobolds are not as brutal and chaotic as imagined; they have good discipline and their weapons and equipment are uniform.

The gnolls did not take advantage of the chaos among humans to launch an attack. In fact, the people around the town had not yet evacuated. If the gnolls attacked the surrounding villages at this moment, humans would have no way to stop them.

"The intelligent species that the army encountered before must be among them!"

The fact that the Kobolds were able to resist the killing instincts of the beasts and quietly assemble into a battle formation showed that the opponent's commander was extremely capable.

Li couldn't think of any other possibility except that intelligent species could do this.

My dad is really something. He led the main force to encircle and suppress the ogres, but ended up letting the main force of the ogres escape. Now the enemy has come to our doorstep, how can the old, weak and sick resist?

“…Lee, what should we do next?”

Theresa is good at pacifying people in the wilderness, setting up camps and conducting simple organizational activities. Regarding war, Theresa knows nothing at all.

Theresa was inexplicably elected as the leader. She knew that the current situation did not allow her to refuse, so she had to ask Li about the next arrangements.

Li's palms were also covered in sweat. Even though he had several lifetimes of experience, it was still the first time for Li to actually command soldiers to fight against a powerful enemy.

Li Yehao hopes that there is someone around who can give advice, but unfortunately there is no such person now, so he can only rely on his own ideas and take on this responsibility.

"Those dog-headed people are deliberately giving us time. Tell the militia to continue gathering the masses and concentrate as many people as possible in the center of the town. Tell the assembled people that the food supply during the battle will be paid from the collective warehouse. The food in the warehouse is enough to last for several months. Don't let the fight for food cause chaos!"

"Yes!"

Xiaoli, who acted as a signalman, simply agreed and then ran out happily.

Li turned around with a more serious expression. The Gnoll Army might be more dangerous than he had imagined.

...

The Kobold Legion, with the wise high priest as their leader, looked at the human town with a determined look on his face.

Those foolish humans were gathering manpower in vain, trying to rely on the buildings and low walls in the town to resist the attack of the ogre army.

In the eyes of the high priest, the human reaction was like that of an ant whose nest had been poked, so low-level and ridiculous.

"My people, you have now seen that humans are weak and incompetent, and are no different from our cubs!"

When the high priest spoke, the dog-headed people were silent. After the high priest made the statement, the entire dog-headed people barked in unison.

This is the dog-headed army under the control of the intelligent species. They have become machines that completely obey orders.

"Humans treat us as inferior creatures. They slaughter our people and even herd our cubs. Now, it's time to return it all!"

Amid the barking of dogs, all were praising the high priest.

The appearance of the high priest gave the gnolls wisdom. They learned how to build, how to calculate, how to use numbers to defeat the few, and how to bully the weak.

These are all survival wisdom, enough for the kobolds to worship the high priest as a god.

But the high priest shrugged off the dog-headed people's flattery.

In the eyes of the high priest, other tribesmen are just inferior beings, labor to satisfy desires, and slaves to serve the king!

Moreover, speaking of gods, real gods are not that simple.

The Kobold High Priest carefully felt the call from the unknown. From the day he was born, a mysterious voice kept telling him all the knowledge he needed for survival.

That obscure voice enabled an ordinary kobold to grow into the high priest of the tribe.

After helping the tribe to gain a foothold, the high priest has been thinking of a way to figure out where the voice guiding them came from.

The high priest made many speculations, and after being exposed to enough human culture, he determined the identity of the owner of the voice.

The voice that gave him wisdom came from the god of the kobolds!

Apart from the gods belonging to the dog-headed people, who else would be willing to instill knowledge into the dog-headed people's heads? Who else would be willing to tirelessly guide and correct the dog-headed people's mistakes?

Just half a month ago, the high priest suddenly received divine revelation. The gods told him that humans were planning an extermination plan against the dog-headed people, and the high priest must find a way to save his own people.

It did it, and after sacrificing some wounded and old people, the high priest successfully deceived humans. Now it leads the army to the human town, ready to get one step closer to God.

That’s right, the high priest felt the call of God. In this human town before him, there was a power calling him.

This power originated from the same source as the voice of God echoing in the high priest's mind. The high priest believed that after conquering the town before him, he would be able to obtain the honor of serving God personally!

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, the high priest took out a temple book that he had seized from a human caravan.

There were many claw marks on the cover of the book, which were accidentally left by the high priest when he was flipping through it.

The pages inside the books are scattered and falling off, and will be blown everywhere by the wind if you are not careful.

The high priest cared about this book very much. He read it carefully many times. It was from this book that he learned the meaning of religion, faith, and God.

The Kobold High Priest flipped open the book, turned to his favorite page, and read his favorite paragraph.

"The gods created the world with a wave of their hands, but they felt that this world was too lonely, so animals appeared in the world. Various animals continued to reproduce and formed their own tribes, and thus civilization came into being. We are all descendants of the gods, and we also inherit the power from the gods... God loves the world."

After reading a long passage that the other dogs could not understand, the high priest's own spirit was sublimated.

It stands on a small altar, with its arms outstretched, looking up at the sky.

The scorching light from the sun gradually gathered on the high priest, and the rich power of the light rose from light yellow to dazzling white.

"Holy Light, God's gift, please condense it into a long spear and help me exterminate the heretics!"

Holy light appeared on the body of the Kobold High Priest, and then the holy light turned into a spear of destruction with extremely high lethality.

A fierce beam of light came from far away and hit the edge of the town square directly.

A deep pit was blown out on the ground, with debris flying everywhere and the grass and trees withering.

The Kobolds' attack has begun!
