Chapter 896: Chapter 565: Profound Impact_2

The first of Lady Strategy’s Chosen explained, "It’s not that I calculated the enemy’s plan, but simply wanted to avoid their deliberate arrangements, and stumbled upon and broke their trap by accident."

"Regardless, we owe a lot to the lady for this matter," Gaven sincerely thanked her before turning to Veranika to ask, "How did the siege go? Was the enemy’s undead transformation array activated?"

What he cared most about was the latter, for if Arms transformed the Efanso citizens on a large scale, even if they captured Efanso, their victory would be greatly diminished.

"Regarding the undead transformation array, we received false information. There was only an empty shell there, lacking the ability to rapidly transform the entire Efanso citizens into undead. Even the potency of their death poison was not as strong as we expected. It can be suppressed with the Life God Berry without the need for any antidote. Grace had been setting a trap for us from the start. We should never have trusted such evil creatures," Veranika said, full of distrust for Grace, especially now that there was tangible evidence to prove she was untrustworthy, naturally belittling her extensively.

Gaven corrected, "These traps were not set by Grace, but by Arms. She was kept in the dark throughout and became a tool in the hands of Arms, even her remaining kindness was used, because she didn’t die by my hand. After she passed the message to us, she was imprisoned by Arms using the Soul Locking Technique."

Seeing that Ms. Yeshandalah and Fan Ruina were not present, Gaven simply took out the crystal ball that imprisoned Grace and showed it to everyone.

"They say devils are deceitful and untrustworthy; I never expected them to be cunning to such an extent, that they would even use and scheme against people close to them. Fortunately, we made multiple preparations, otherwise, even if we weren’t tricked to our deaths, we would still have suffered heavy casualties."

Everyone couldn’t help but feel impressed, gaining a deeper understanding of the devil’s vicious cunning.

"Where are Ms. Yeshandalah and her Avenger Rebellion Army?" Gaven inquired.

"They are the locals. I sent them to console the Efanso citizens," Katherine replied.

"You’ve arranged everything quite properly, madam," Gaven nodded in approval and then took the opportunity to learn about the other arrangements Katherine had made earlier. They were all meticulous and sensible, and he would not have done them any differently himself, naturally making no further changes.

The losses that concerned Gaven the most were quickly tallied. There were no casualties among the civilians, while the attacking soldiers had a few hundred casualties, mostly wounded with few deaths, all revived on the spot, which could be said to be no casualties at all.

However, the losses on Efanso’s side were severe. The spiritual undead, because they only left a pile of ghost dust after death, which was easily mixed up or lost, could not be fully accounted for. Anyway, the Conqueror Army had collected ghost dust by the kilogram. Normally, these things were measured by the gram. Theoretically, an undead would produce up to twenty-three grams of ghost dust, which is the maximum weight of a soul, usually one gram per Life Dice, until reaching the theoretical limit.

The skeleton soldiers, zombies, and other cannon fodder numbered three thousand. Their remains had no value beyond being burned or buried, so naturally no one cared about their exact numbers.

Then there were the Bone Claws, considered elites. In total, including the ones Gaven killed in the Shadow Duel, the number exceeded a hundred. Their bodies and remains were all dragged back to Mesnoel by shadows and stored separately.

If a method to process Bone Claws could be developed afterward, they might be of reuse value.

As long as it didn’t involve live research, something abhorred by both mortals and gods, in Felen, the use of corpses, especially monsters’ corpses to create undead soldiers, was tolerated in most regions. But in a few areas, particularly cities where just and good forces predominated, this practice was simply asking for trouble.

Weizemay Manor sealed Gaven’s close association with the undead, and the battle of Efanso proved that even the power of death could be used for good causes and even had its unique advantages. Since they had a good start, Gaven and his people naturally wanted to make full use of this.

In addition, nearly a thousand ordinary Efanso citizens suffered casualties. They were mainly harmed by Efanso’s undead commanders, who drove them to the city walls to assist in operating the defensive equipment and to act as hostages.

This was unavoidable; the only thing that could be done was to try to treat as many as possible afterward to reduce the death rate. Nevertheless, over six hundred people died.

Even so, the citizens of the entire city of Efanso welcomed the Conqueror Army with open arms.

The dead ruling over the living.

This was a complete violation of normal law.

Even though Arms and his followers maintained a facade of justice and strictness in Efanso to uphold their disguise, that was just for show. Deep down, it was the same oppressive and terrifying rule.

They only needed Efanso to maintain a facade of stability; they didn’t care about things like the happiness index of the citizens.

Most importantly, living in close quarters with the undead year-round caused their bodies and souls to suffer from varying degrees of negative energy corrosion, leading to a series of problems.

Many citizens were weak and prone to disease, especially diseases related to negative energy, which, once erupted, were widespread and incurable over long periods. And there could be no kind-hearted divine priests here to cast healing spells on them.
