The next morning, with a bone-shaking explosion we commenced our raid on the City of Lost Souls. Patches of midnight dew—the grass we were here to collect—grew inside the tower in the center of the city. Two things stood in our way: the enormous gate that loomed as a reminder of when this place was a prison, and the sea of Undead that swarmed beyond it. So, we’d destroyed the gate first, using up the rest of my dead stock of gunpowder. We peeked around the corner of a structure that stood a little ways down the road. “Maybe I used a little too much gunpowder… Not that I had any other use for it,” I said. “It’s hard to see past the cloud of dust… But I’m sure the gate has been blown to smithereens, at least,” Sever noted. “Yeah, along with a bunch of Undead that were crowding it. Which works out for us,” Remily joined. “Good thing we kept our distance,” Reinbach said. The explosion seemed like the right size, considering that I’d initially set aside that gunpowder to blow up—or at least bury alive—any enemies I might have encountered at the abandoned mines. But that opening wouldn’t do us any good if we let the Undead swarm up again. “Secure an entrance.” The hobgoblins that I had brought out of the Dimension Home before the explosion ran into action at my command. Leading the charge was a group of them in armor, each carrying a riot shield made out of hardening solution and a metal slime in the form of a mace. Behind them were another group with lances, followed by a mix of hobgoblins holding grave slimes and regular goblins carrying long-range weapons. The goblin march was a far cry from the organized procession of a well- trained army, but they managed to secure a position before the Undead could flood the area again. As soon as the first team of hobgoblins formed a defensive wall with their shields, the following unit shoved grave slimes through the openings between the shields.
