Chapter 1256: The Survivors

「Donad. Take care of Klimt.」

「Yeah, you can count on me. You guys take care too.」

「Nn.」

「No need! I, Jean Duvie, will be accompanying them, so you can rest eternally assured that they are in good hands!」

『Rest eternally? Wouldn’t that make them dead?』

Well, Jean isn’t completely wrong. Having his support is definitely reassuring.

We discussed our future plans upon reuniting with the surviving adventurers and knights, and our decision was to continue heading north after leaving Klimt with Donad.

The hordes of undead would overflow again if left unattended, so we have little choice but to stop the ritual personally. The adventurers offered to accompany us, but they seriously needed a break.

They had been trapped within the barrier for weeks with little to no rest.

The undead hordes were around every corner, and the barrier was slowly draining their mana and life force all the while.

Amanda and the other high rank adventurers managed to lead them out before they got swallowed by the hordes, but not without losing almost 80% of their men.

Hiding in the mountains is what allowed them to evade detection. Then, they began retreating to Kranzel through the perilous mountain trails when the barrier suddenly disappeared.
