[601-800] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 739: Invading the Fortress

Somewhere inside the fortress…

A soldier was walking in the hallway. All of a sudden, a hand patted him on his shoulder. It startled him as he quickly jumped away and raised his weapon.

“W-Who’s there?!”

He was shaken but when he saw the person in front of him, he lowered his guard a little bit.

“Oh…!! C-Commander Eili!”

“I apologize for surprising you.” A man with short brown hair smiled wryly. His body was covered in exquisite armor with a red cape on his back.

This man was Commander Eili. The commander of the soldiers in this fortress and the man that was protecting the border of the kingdom. An accomplished man that stood at the top of the kingdom’s most valiant warriors.

“How’s the patrol going? Any problems with the undead?” Eili asked.

“No, sir! The mages already cut down the numbers of the undead outside! We can deal with the rest while the mages are recovering their energy!” The soldier stood straight and answered in a clear and loud voice.

“Good. It may be hard but we need to keep this up. We’re facing a crisis that we’ve never experienced before. Just a little bit longer and we’ll be able to find a way to exterminate all the undead.” Eili said to the soldier.

“Yes, sir! Don’t worry! I’ll do my best!” The soldier answered.

Eili nodded with a satisfied look on his face. He glanced at the retreating soldier’s back before he looked at the window.

It’s been two months since the undead started rampaging in Lerna Island. Eili fought left and right trying to save innocent people from the gruesome death caused by those vile undead.

The undead swarmed the villages and towns around the three kingdoms. Countless people have died and everyone could guess that aside from the three kingdoms, there were no living people on Lerna Island.

So the three kingdoms decided to set aside their conflicts. They had to work together to eliminate the undead that threatened people of the Lerna Island.

After two weeks of research, they found that there was something off with the northern region of the island. It seems that the dead mana in that area was highly concentrated. So the three kingdoms formed a special group consisting of elite soldiers. They were the best of the best of Lerna Island.

But until now, the special group hasn’t returned yet after venturing into the northern region. No one knew what happened, the people could only pray to the gods that nothing happened to them.

‘For the kingdom. I need to continue fighting. God of War, Ares, please give me the strength to defeat our enemies.’

Eili prayed in his heart.

Boom!!

Suddenly the ground shook heavily as violent tremors spread out trying to destroy the whole fortress.

“What was that?!” Eili was shocked as he observed his surrounding.

“Commander Eili!!”

Eili turned around and saw the soldier before.

“It’s an emergency! T-The Royal Room… Have collapsed!” The soldier said clearly.

“What?!” Eili widened his eyes.

Although no one was staying in the Royal Room, it was still important. People from the Royal Family stayed in that place every time they visited this border. People were forbidden to enter that place.
