The Nether army led by Monasse had left Sloban and entered a forest.

"Through this forest, you will reach the ancestral forest." Inside the carriage, Monasse lifted the curtains of the window and looked at the scenery outside, his expression a little more solemn.

"Zulin, is that the name of the Necromantic Clan's territory?" Siola, who was sitting opposite Monasse, had a relaxed expression on her face, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was resting.

The war was approaching, and Sheola didn't feel nervous, she had already experienced more than one big war, and this kind of scene didn't make her feel uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, Monasse, there is a piece of advice, I wonder if you would like to hear it." There was silence in the carriage for about a few seconds, when Theola suddenly spoke up and broke the silence.

"Please." Monasse looked at Sheola with a puzzled expression.

"If you can't break through Zulin at once, please don't be too reluctant, so as not to consume too many troops and the physical strength of the two princes."

"Is that ...... What do you mean?' In Monasse's view, Sheola's words are the most basic war strategy, but if Sheola takes this sentence as advice, it seems that it is not so simple.

Monasse doesn't think he's wrong about Sheola, who is an intelligent and mysterious being in Monasse's eyes, and such a basic approach shouldn't be taken as advice. Unless, Sheola has some thoughts in her mind.

"It is important to properly preserve combat effectiveness." Sheola didn't seem to answer Monasse's question head-on, but smiled faintly and looked out the window.

Such vague but intriguing words, Monasse did not take Xiola's words as if she were casually speaking. Looking at Sheola's appearance, it seems that he is just reminding Monasse of some important things, but he is unwilling to elaborate, and Monasse has to understand it himself.

(Don't be reluctant, save combat power?) If this battle with the Necrons would last longer, it would have been necessary, but I always felt that this was not what Sheola meant. ）

(By the way, a few days ago, Uncle Sully sent me information asking me to be wary of Flammy.) Hmph, don't talk about Flammy, I should be wary of every nobleman, who knows what they will do while I fight the Necrons. Well? ）

Thinking of this, Monasse suddenly felt like an electric shock, and the expression on his face froze. His eyes widened as if he had thought of something, and he couldn't help but lower his head and continue to ponder.

Siola glanced at Monasse's expression and admired the scenery of the woods with peace of mind.

(If you think about it, the main city was almost empty during my absence, and even if Selban's strength was strong, it would be difficult for him to defend against a large number of enemies at the same time.) If those nobles invade the main city at this time, then I can't go back immediately, but they should fight first because of the problem of interests. However, I've long been on the radar of Selban. ）

(So what does Xiola's words mean, let me preserve my combat power, if something really happens to the main city, can I have enough combat power to save it?) No, it doesn't always feel that simple. ）

(To completely clean up the Necromancy of Zulin, it will inevitably take a lot of combat power, and if there is still a quarter of the soldiers left in the end, it will be good, and it will not be able to take on higher intensity battles at all.) Wait, yes! ）

Monasse seemed to understand for a moment what Sheola's advice meant.

Monasse's expedition to attack the Necrons is known to all the Netherworlds, but in fact, after transferring most of the troops from the main city, neither the troops going out nor the troops left behind are the combat effectiveness of the complete royal army. If you include the consumption of fighting the Necromancy, the remaining strength in the end, a few strong men who have reached a certain level of strength are enough to wipe out these soldiers. And such people abound in the Netherworld, and every nobleman has them.

If Flami might have wanted to take advantage of Monasse's absence, the other nobles must have had similar thoughts. After the battle with the Necromancy, it is likely that this will be the time when the royal power is at its weakest, and if the other nobles send their elite to sneak up on Monasse's troops at this time, it will be difficult for Monasse to resist.

It should be logical for the royal family to inherit the throne, and in the end, in today's situation, Monasse feels that he has also miscalculated. He cared too much about the opinions of the commoners, so he did not forcibly become the emperor of the underworld, and in the case of the siege of the nobles, even if Monasse forcibly sat on the throne, he would face a crisis.

But as long as the two brothers, Monasse and Daisse, were still around, the other nobles could not blatantly snatch the throne. But what if the two brothers died in an "accident"?

Without the original orthodox heir, the royal family is equivalent to disintegration, and the next thing is for the nobles to fight each other. So in the final analysis, the two princes are the nobles' highest priority.

"How bold, these people." Monasse sneered, a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

(Since you want to do that, we'll see.) ）

"Thank you for your advice, Sheola, and I'll take it seriously." Monasse nodded to Sheola in thanks.

"You're welcome." Sheola responded with a smile.

————————————

"Is this Zulin?" Although the environment seems a little oppressive, it seems to be a nice place." Theola looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.

The march of the large army was not slow, and it only took about ten minutes to pass through the woods and arrive at the original place of the Necromancy, the Ancestral Forest of the Underworld.

It is the necromancers living here, who have a lack of living space due to continuous reproduction, and under the inducement of Acteri, most of the necromancers went to the Hell, and provoked the dispute between them and the demons that lasted for several years.

Zulin seemed to be in a huge cave, and when he looked up, he could only see the cyan stone walls above his head. But not far above, a hole was broken in the stone wall, and energy continued to pour into the ancestral forest from outside the cave, and converged on a huge object that looked like a flower bud.

The army did not fully enter the Zulin, but lay in ambush at the border, and Daiser and Monasse took Theola to observe the situation in the Zulin.

"Is that bud-like thing the core of the Necromancy?" Siola asked, pointing to the giant flower bud that was constantly receiving energy in the distance.

"That's right, in the underworld, all the energy of the Necromantic Mother is obtained from that flower bud, the Prokaryotic Mother. The prokaryotic matrix, on the other hand, is constantly absorbing the remaining energy from the dead in the main realm. As long as the prokaryotic matrix is destroyed, the necrons in the underworld will slowly stop reproducing due to lack of energy, and eventually die out on their own."

Monasse answered Sheola's question, "We're not just going to destroy Mother Prokaryotes, though."

"Because of the departure of the Necromantic King, the Prokaryotic Mother has become the supreme will conveyor of the Necromantic Race in the underworld, and all the mothers have been changed because they have been forcibly strengthened by the Prokaryotic Mother, and at the same time, the spirits bred by the Mother have a deeper connection with the Mother."

As soon as Monasse wanted to continue, Daiser preemptively added the information about the necromancers in the underworld, "In other words, we have to destroy both the prokaryotic matrix and the ordinary mater, as long as we destroy all the maternities, the other necromancers will die immediately. But to destroy the Matrix, we have to deal with the strengthened Necromancers.'

What he wanted to say was preemptively said by Daisse, which made Monasse feel a little unhappy. Leng snorted, and turned his head away.

Growing up, Monasse, as a younger brother, was always compared by the elders to his older brother Daisse. But in either way, Daiese seems to be superior, which also attracts Monasse's jealousy.

But jealousy is jealousy, and he doesn't think it's all Daisey's fault, but puts all the blame on the elders who always compare himself to his brother. When he grew up, Monasse secretly designed to let these elders he hated be "punished" in what he thought he deserved.

However, even if he didn't blame his brother, Monasse still had a thorn in his heart, and every time Daisei showed a better side than himself, Monasse would feel a little uncomfortable. Although he wanted to end this knot completely, he didn't know how to do it, so he had to keep the thorn in his heart.

(Your Highness, Monasse, if you want to untie the knot in your heart, I may be able to help you.) Still, let yourself figure it out. ）

Sheola noticed Monasse's expression and couldn't help but laugh secretly. Sheola has a keen eye for detail, and she can detect even the slightest abnormality, and she naturally knows Monasse's mind for a long time.

"Now that you know about the situation of the Necrons here, what do you think?" Monasse adjusted his mood and asked Sheola after Daise's explanation.

"The overall appearance of the underworld is a plane, which means that if we want to attack, we can only launch from here, and there is no such thing as a sneak attack. There's no way to lure these necromancers into the woods and kill them one by one, and judging by their behavior patterns, they seem to have been given a modicum of wisdom by the prokaryotic matrix."

"The Prokaryotic Mother has gathered all the normal mothers around her, hiding in the deepest part of the ancestral forest, apparently to protect these necromancers. In other words, all we can do now is to attack head-on, and if we can, take advantage of the attention of the necromancers here to be attracted and send some of our forces to infiltrate into the depths of the ancestral forest and deal with the mother."

Sheora carefully observed the spirits floating in the distance, as well as the Mother Body gathered in the depths of the ancestral forest as seen by her own powers.

She had an idea when she first saw this, but when she reached forward slightly to verify it, she touched an invisible wall.

The barrier that blocks the infiltration of magic from the outside means that Sheola cannot directly bombard the Mother Body in the depths of the Ancestral Forest with magic from a distance, and must get close to a certain range before attacking the Mother Body.

"Brother, can I ask you for something?" Monasse spoke suddenly.

"You don't need to use the word please, you are the commander in this battle, and I will follow your orders no matter what command you make." Daiusse stood up and looked at Monasse with a serious, determined gaze.

Monasse looked at Daiusse's expression and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but then smiled.

"So, Daiussey? Capone? Hades, my brother, my Monasse? Capone? Hades, commanding you as the battlefield commander, lead an army of two thousand to raid Zulin head-on, attracting and holding down these necromancers. I will personally break into the depths of the ancestral forest and deal with those mothers."

At this time, Monasse's eyes were already full of war intent.

"In that case, I'll do my part when the time is right." Seeing this, Xiora also began to radiate the magic power in her body.

(Want to prove that you're no worse than your brother?) Then let me see your strength, Your Highness Monasse. ）
