Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 744
The Holy Federation dispatched troops to bring Saint Anna back.
And it is unknown if it was someone’s intention but unfortunately this information leaked to the Dark Alliance as well.
The Necromancers and Priests of the two forces who received the information rushed into the orphanage and became a situation on the verge but fortunately an all-out war did not break out.
Commander-level Richard and Anna prevented the battle and the orphanage was far from the area where the ‘seal’ was located in the Neutral Zone so the dispatched officers judged that there was no need to fight.
The dark spirits disappeared like a lie and Richard and Anna returned to their respective camps. The Holy Federation which cares more about the image of the residents has decided to protect the children in the orphanage.
It seemed that the situation was settled.
-attack! attack!
-Capture the fortress of the Holy Federation!
From the very next day the war on the Bahilla front resumed.
Since the situation was sluggish the upper part of the Dark Alliance wanted results and it seemed that they were trying to secure a seal excavation point even a little more than the Holy Federation.
but.
-Commander Jonah! I saw a tiny crack in the barrier behind the enemy camp! If we move the corps and break through there’s a good chance...!
-it’s okay.
After that day Richard acted like someone who had lost his mind.
Even after coming to the battlefield he perched on a rock and looked up at the sky in a daze or with his mouth open.
– Can’t break through. Hit moderately and retreat.
Richard often stopped the offensive saying that there was no need to launch an ineffective attack. Complaints from the hardline Ancient Undead and his subordinates within the Corps piled up but Richard ignored them.
– Holy Lady! Injured necromancers are lurking beneath the city center! Authorize the bombardment!
– Cannot be granted.
So was Anna.
– Holy bombardment only increases the damage to innocent civilians.
-Then at least dispatching an invasion team to the western front...!
– Your allies will take a lot of damage so try to retreat.
She like Richard was not motivated to fight. Israfil who couldn’t see it said.
– Sister Anna! When you have a chance to win you have to push! We need to expand our blockade excavation area even a little bit!
At that Anna let out a sad laugh.
– The defense of the Dark Union is thorough. Even if we succeed in breaking through we fear how much blood we will have to shed.
-You can’t win a war by being afraid of sacrifice! you know? What are you going to do if a seal comes out in the Bahilla district over there? Surely the Holy Father is accusing us of sin...
– A seal may appear in that area.
Anna replied in a calm tone.
– How many people have lost their lives because of that so far? Excavation of the area currently occupied has not yet been completed so how much more blood will we have to shed in the future based on the assumption that the sealed letter ‘may come out’.
– Sister Anna!
-We will stop possible attacks and focus on excavating seals while defending the territory we have occupied.
Anna sat in a chair and stared out of the tent rejecting all the opinions of the staff including Israfil to change the offensive.
Even if I couldn’t see outside I blankly looked in a certain direction.
Israfil bit his lip.
‘...Annie sister.’
Israfil who had seen Anna for a long time could tell.
Anna was suffering.
When I ask what happened she smiles saying it’s the same as usual but her laugh is lifeless. She abstains from food and drink and like a dying person she is absent-minded.
Right after the ‘orphanage incident’.
‘...This is not my fault.’
As Lena pointed out let’s assume that this situation happened because she reported Anna’s deviation to the headquarters and the information leaked out.
But isn’t that a better thing?
The man he was meeting at the orphanage was a necromancer even the infamous corps commander Jonah. He was tricked by him and it was he who saved Anna’s sister before something more terrible happened.
As expected I am the only one for Anna.
‘...But why.’
Anna is smiling like a withered flower and I wonder if I can’t make eye contact with her properly out of guilt.
no way.
No it can’t be.
Israfil shook his head dispelled the blasphemous delusions from his mind and then moved on to devising a more effective and perfect attack plan that Anna had to approve of.

four days later.
late morning.
Simon and Lethe escaped from their respective formations and met again at the ruins.
“I’m glad you’re safe Lethe.”
said Simon with a sigh of relief. Lethe whom she met again looked a little emaciated.
“Well there was a little questioning from people but Miss Anna protected me thoroughly so I was able to stay.”
“huh.”
He sits on the sofa and plays like a king with women in his arms but there is no inspiration.
no.
Rather it just made me feel worse.
Crack!
Richard slammed the bottle hard on the floor.
Bottles were shattered fragments scattered and women screaming. People who were in a mess and party atmosphere looked at Richard in amazement.
Richard took out a wad of money threw it at the tavernkeeper and came out.
I thought I would never come here again.
returned to the military barracks.
He never imagined that the day would come when he would come back in the middle of a party. He threw off his outer garment and opened the stack of books on one side.
-[The secret of the seal.]
-[Principle and history of sealing.]
Then he took the blackboard and scribbled hard with chalk.
“How to Stop War”
percussion-
Richard who wrote that with chalk blankly stared at the blackboard.
“X feet.”
then do He ran his bangs through his hair and threw the chalk away.
baek!
The chalk hit the tent pole and split it in half. Richard took a bottle of rum and quenched his throat as hard as he could then took up his quill and scribbled on his report.
< Report: Why this war must end. >
buck buck.
He scratched his long hair and wrote down in the spirit of alcohol.
why am i like this
Why is this?
It’s not fun to play with and it’s not exciting to see women.
end the war?
Why am I suddenly
‘X feet.’
Richard stretched his arms.
– Were you Jonah?
Richard stood up overturned the desk and kicked the chair.
I looked at the broken fragments and flying papers.
My stomach is nauseous and my mood is still the worst.
“Why isn’t this watcher coming like this!”
he yelled.
“I can’t go out drinking again! Huh?
Then I couldn’t help myself and sat down again.
I felt like garbage.
* * *
late morning.
An empty prayer hall with no one in the Holy Federation.
“....”
Right there Anna was on her knees praying.
In the moonlight shining through the window she was leafing through the scriptures.
But no matter what verses in the sutras you memorize.
no matter what prayer
-Today is not all. Keep challenging like that.
The man’s face flashed in my mind.
Even shaking my head and praying again did the same.
My heart ached so much. It was so bitter and unbearable that I shed tears. She wiped her eyes with her sleeve and held her hands again.
“What are you doing here sir?”
Hearing the voice from behind Anna slowly turned her head.
Lethe was approaching with a kind smile.
“If you pray like that until dawn you’ll get hurt.”
“...Lena.”
Anna bowed her head.
– Little by little even if it’s small and trivial. It seems to be the master of my life.
Having made up her mind she met Lethe’s eyes with a resolute expression.
“I have something I want to ask you.”
