After the fight was over almost everyone laid down right there as the tiredness quickly caught up with them. The injured could only wait till the light mages recovered enough mana to heal them. The more severely injured were quickly, but crudely patched up by a Doctor that Alice had summoned. Using mostly leaves and sap from the trees nearby along with certain herbs, the seriously injured wolves that were likely to die were saved from certain death.
Allen on the other hand knew he now had enough supplies to summon more and buy more at home and quickly took a Forest Wolf that was one of the least tired wolves and rushed back home to summon more Light Mages. Allen had been forced to watch the fight not being able to do anything being too far from the fight to even give orders. Even watching his poor Almos becoming so tired made Allen's heart ache.
Quickly after arriving Allen quickly bought several light stones without caring about the 10,000 units of food price on them. Just like that one bear's worth of food was spent in an instant! Without care, Allen immediately upgraded the light mage summoning circle once again.
[Upgrade (Great Human Light Mage Summoning Circle) -> (Glorious Human Light Mage Summoning Circle)]
[Yes]
Once again the comforting light spread through the room as Allen did his best to leave and stay awake and focus on the wolves. Unfortunately, the light seemed to be desperate to seep into his bones and make him relax. Still, the upgrade didn't even take a minute as Allen quickly focused back and quickly summoned the mages.
Despite almost falling asleep in the comfort, Allen quickly realized he had no wolves to help these mages get to the scene fast so taking out two wind stones he upgraded the Tornado Wolf and buying a new Dire Wolf summoning circle he directly used the wind stones on both circles.
[Upgrade (Dire Wolf Summoning Circle) -> (Wind Wolf Summoning Circle)]
[Yes]
[Upgrade (Tornado Wolf Summoning Circle) -> (Great Wind Wolf Summoning Circle)]
[Yes]
Strangely enough, the wind helped push off the comforting feeling greatly as a cooling sensation that seemed to cut through the warmth and wake Allen up. After the wind ended and the warmth returned Allen didn't hesitate to summon the Wolves, quickly buying up all the resources he could find using his food Allen suddenly realized he had used the entire second bear he had on hand just to summon everything! Still, as the storm of wind passed through the room, Allen was able to concentrate on what the future was turning into.
"Lord!"
The Wind Wolves and the Light mages eventually finished summoning as the storm winds coming into the room were still rushing to the last wolf summoning circle. Allen originally wanted to summon more wolves to act as mounts for more mages he would summon, but after spending everything he had on hand he could only wait for the faster wolves to be ready so he could head out. Even if he wanted to leave on the Wind Wolves, they were too small and couldn't be used as mounts.

Finally getting a better healing skill quickly made Allen extremely excited. After all, he originally only kept upgrading the circle to get better healing for his troops and now that several troops were severely injured it was necessary to have better healing skills.
While Allen was nodding to himself the wolves had finally finished summoning as several large wolves appeared. They once again howled and then laid down on their backs to show their stomach. Allen ignored the stats for now as he ordered the Great Wind Wolves forward out of the mansion as well as the light mages to follow him on wolfback.
Very quickly the group arrived to see everyone trying their best to get themselves patched up with the help of the doctor Alice summoned giving orders to everyone. Allen's arrival quickly brought up everyone's spirits as he quickly ordered everyone to get to work healing the wounded.
"Lord, although it was a difficult battle I can say that out of everyone we have lost only a single Tornado Wolf. Everyone else was saved by Miss Elise." Henry paused for a good moment before speaking with great awe, "Miss Elise complains that it is difficult to work without her tools, but if she can do so much without her tools I cannot believe what amazing work she could do if she had the tools on hand."
Allen had already noticed the busy woman who seemed to have some sort of vendetta against everyone she gave orders to. Still, he could clearly see all the severely injured troops were no longer at risk of bleeding to death at the very least. The new Glorious Light Mages also seemed to fall under her authority as her authoritative tone seemed to leave no room to fight against her.
Just as Allen was going to thank the woman for her help, Feno came running atop a wolf going full sprint to him.
"Allen! We have a problem! Undead were spotted at the border!"
Allen didn't know what a big problem this could be, but Feno's extremely worried face said all that was needed. "Quick tell me more about the situation! I don't know much about Undead, so I need good info on everything!"
Hopping atop a newly summoned wolf Allen quickly followed behind Feno as all of the newly summoned wolves quickly followed behind him.
"I don't know the exact situation, but Malon who was checking the border claimed to have found a small scouting group that had successfully passed the barrier! I am sure you understand from there."
"A Lord..."
The fast-moving wolves quickly made it to where a Water Elf stood guarding the top of a hill. "Malon! Quickly tell the whole story! I really don't want another fight..."
Malon nodded, "It was most definitely a scouting party, that had made it into the barrier. There was a Shadow Ghoul leading an expedition of zombies and lower-class Ghouls. I am unsure if the Shadow Ghoul is the Lord, but I don't think so, that Goul turned around and left as soon as it saw me. I suspect Lords should at least have above-average intelligence to speak with others."
Allen frowned at the words he didn't quite understand and instead quickly ordered all the Wolves to come back in ten minutes after checking the area. "Feno, tell me more about the Undead race."
"The Undead are a race that can turn all creatures into their own race, and above that, they always seem to be able to show more strength than when they were alive. These creatures never run out of energy since they run completely on mana. What's worse is that the Undead don't care if their own race dies or if anyone dies, they only care about killing, never tire, never fear, and never back down. The only weak thing about them is their bodies as most if not all undead are fragile against both magic and physical attacks.
Out of what is known about the vile creatures, they shall always seek out vitality to transform them into their own undead army. The only exception to this rule is the high-rank Undead that controls other Undead. These specific types of Undead can decide to not attack and can even make treaties with living creatures, but don't make a mistake, their end goal shall always be to create more Undead."
While Allen was nodding and listening to Feno he suddenly seemed to see hope, "Feno you said that they never fear right?"
"Yes, that is one of the main traits of Undead."
"Well if I remember correctly the house was said to scare away creatures. Which means..."
Feno's eyes also light up before dimming down, "No even if they are not under a Lord's rule, that doesn't change the fact that they are likely to be under a high-level Undead's rule instead. Either option is not good for us, in fact, it would be better if it was a Lord who hasn't had time to develop."
Allen sighed before narrowing his eyes as he looked into the dark forest while the sun set, "Looks like we will need to do an extensive search of the area either way..."
