And the heaviest luggage that would be problematic to transport back to the village… the spoils of war, the corpses of the enemies. But this problem was the easiest to solve.

After all, it was simple to have the spoils of war walk the distance on their own.

『Bufuuh.』

『… Giih… Bugiih…』

With the【Preservation】spell cast on them after draining their blood to suspend their decomposition, the Orcs, Kobolds and the corpses of the beasts that the Orcs had been using didn’t need to be carried after they had been turned into Zombies.

In fact, since they could carry the weapons and armor they had used while they were alive and the belongings that they had stolen from adventurers, they were luggage carriers rather than luggage themselves.

Even though they were Zombies, their decomposition had been halted with death-attribute magic and not even one day had passed since they died, so their flesh and organs were still nice and fresh.

After getting back to the village, Vandalieu would take the spirits possessing them back out and they would turn back into normal corpses and there would be no problem in harvesting materials from their bodies and eating their meat.

But monsters didn’t know this; to them, these were Zombies, not prey. And so the Zombies wouldn’t be attacked by monsters and there was no need to have someone watch them to make sure monsters wouldn’t take them away.

One problem was that the Zombies walked slowly, but since the weakened Ghoul women were being transported, it didn’t matter that the Zombies were slow.
