Chapter 21: The classification of the undead

The next morning in the camp....

The different orcs have already woken up and organized in groups according to the disposition of the orcs yesterday. The day begins with the deployment of the different groups of orcs in different directions to perform the tasks requested by Leon.

However, some of the orcs are still having trouble running at full speed because of their crotches which are hurting a bit. But none of the orcs present accuse Leon of having gone too far on them.

Indeed, these orcs are more than happy to see that their God did not hold back on their body or rather for some prefer to believe that their God Leon Bolray could not hold back in front of their body.

For these different orcs it flatters their ego, they will be able to talk about this experience with orcs who are not part of their camp and will be able to boast.

After several hours, several groups of orcs managed to separate from the groups of undead. Leon was able to concentrate on traveling between the different groups of orcs to absorb the undead into space.

Today the orcs have all been made aware of Leon's ability and his domain, and have even seen Leon in action from near and far. So there is no surprise when the undead disappear into Leon's domain.

In Leon's domain, there have been some changes. However, these changes are not as important as the first changes.

Indeed, the first time there were undead in space, the space experienced great changes. There was vegetation that appeared, the beginnings of mountains and the beginnings of rivers.

However, now for a few hours Leon has already absorbed more than 1,500 undead in space but this last one has not shown any significant changes.

So now there are more than 7,500 undead left to be absorbed into Leon's domain.

While he absorbs the undead, Leon's power increases but not significantly.

However, this increase in power makes him very happy because in the long run he knows that few people will have his power and therefore few people will be able to prevent the re-emergence of his race.

He also knows that this is only the beginning of cleaning the undead from the continent. He will have to send them back to their creators who are the half-humans and humans.

Leon and his group are on their way to the position of a group of orcs who have managed to isolate a number of undead.

"Your majesty, how long do you think it will take us to clean up this area? Aude, who is next to Leon on his horse, asks with a tone and a look of respect and admiration for Leon.

"I think it will take us about 6 months to 1 year to clean up each region of the undead. Leon replies with a calm tone.

"That's an answer that is close to reality, your majesty. I also think that it may take us 6 months to 1 year to reconquer our continent from the undead. But we must not forget the presence of monsters and other magical beasts that can become a risk as great as the undead. Candice on the side answers Leon.

"You're right, the moment there is no longer the strong presence of the undead, other species such as monsters and other magical beasts will be able to develop more easily. So we have to be careful with this problem so that we don't have a second problem as big as the undead. Leon answers her.

Aude and Candice nod and continue to walk in the direction of the group of orcs.

A few dozen minutes later, Leon's group finds itself in front of the group of orcs but what they see shocks them greatly.

Indeed, the group that was supposed to have succeeded in isolating a group of undead is not in a good state. They seem to have lost 1/3 of their group.

The group doesn't seem to be in a very good situation because the orcs who are not dead and who are still standing have all several wounds on their body which are more or less serious. The scene is shocking because the orcs that died were killed in extremely cruel ways by the undead.

Many of them are missing body parts and sometimes the body is not even recognizable anymore. Out of a small group of 25, about 8 are already dead.

The reason for this loss of members of the orc group is the presence of an undead that is more powerful than the average. This undead is considered a captain by the orcs because he is more powerful than the basic undead. But these undead captains also have the ability to command a small group of undead to make traps and other attacks.

On the continent of Polioni they are formidable enemies for the orc soldiers.

However, these undead captains are also not the strongest, because above the captains are the commanders, the generals, the ministers, the kings and the emperors.

Undead captains are therefore relatively easy to deal with for experienced orcs. However, from the rank of general onwards, the undead become very intelligent.

While the undead have as much intelligence as simple wild beasts that only follow their primal instincts. Undead captains only develop a small amount of intelligence, which is not as great as that of a species such as orcs or humans.

On the other hand, the undead who have surpassed the rank of general see their intelligence rivaling that of humans and orcs and sometimes even surpassing it. They are not necessarily more powerful than the commanders but they have more intelligence which makes them more formidable.

Indeed, several times in the history of the continent of Polioni, there have been cases of undead generals who have made coordinated attacks on villages and small towns of the Kingdom of Polon resulting in great great personnel and economic loss.

Leon and his group find themselves in front of an undead captain. His appearance resembles that of a standard male orc. However, his size is much larger than a normal orc. He is over 7 meters tall which is much taller than Leon who is only 5 meters tall at the moment.
