Great Nobleman

Two months later, it was noon.

In the southeastern region of the Human Alliance, there was a wild rain forest.

Twenty warriors and mages wearing cloaks with silver giant hammer emblems maintained a relatively scattered formation, walking in the forest with special magic equipment.

The fluctuations of magic and elements swept across the surrounding ground from time to time, as if exploring something.

Not long after, a mage suddenly shouted:

"The detection equipment has responded, it should be in my direction!"

As soon as this was said, everyone quickly began to gather towards the mage's position and immediately formed a battle formation.

The warriors drew their weapons to protect the periphery, while the mages were on standby in the center.

When everyone followed the feedback of the detection equipment and slowly moved forward to a rainforest swamp area.

The detection equipment in the mage's hand suddenly flashed red.

At this moment, in everyone's sight and perception, the quiet rain forest around suddenly became active and noisy.

One by one, the giant lizards began to quickly get up from the muddy swamp in front of them.

The mottled giant trees around also began to show snake scales, and the snake-haired banshees were spitting out snake tongues and holding short bows.

Under such changes, a leading warrior shouted:

"Prepare for battle, defensive formation!"

As he spoke, he shot a bright red signal arrow into the sky.

And the next moment, on the top of a giant tree next to him, the snake-haired banshee suddenly opened her right eye, and a gray-white beam shot out and attacked him!

Because he did not relax his vigilance, the leading warrior noticed the attack at the first time and immediately raised his shield to block it.

After the shield and the beam touched, the metal shield quickly turned into gray-white stone with the contact point as the center.

The warrior who noticed something was wrong quickly abandoned the shield in his hand that was beginning to petrify, and then dodged to the side.

When the snake-haired banshee high in the giant tree was about to turn the [petrifying beam],

Under the spell of a wizard, the violent fire element exploded beside her, burning most of her body in an instant.

It was like a signal to start a war.

After this back and forth attack.

More swamp and cave races hiding in the rainforest launched a violent attack on the humans who broke in here.

The well-prepared human warriors and wizards also cooperated with each other to defend and counterattack.

The fierce attack and defense kicked off in an instant!

However, this battle did not last too long.

Because the signal arrow was shot at the first time, the friendly forces that were searching in the nearby area soon came to support.

The leader was the next heir of the [Silver Hammer Alliance]-Irina Resfield!

As the army of fire elements covered the entire field, the stalemate battle that was evenly matched before suddenly became one-sided.

Many swamp monsters, giant lizards, and snake-haired banshees quickly began to retreat in a panic.

And after chasing for a distance along the direction of the opponent's retreat,

A hidden entrance under a giant tree, connected to a vast underground space, appeared in front of everyone.

After using magic to sense the entrance and briefly observing the deep passages and caves in this underground space,

Irina immediately returned to the ground with her men and instructed:

"Clean up the battlefield and prepare to retreat. There should be strong people hiding here.

Quickly contact the surrounding garrisons and ask them to inform the local and nearby nobles of the situation here."

When everyone took their own actions.

Irina came to the open space next to her alone, took out an ancient badge in the shape of a shield, input magic power, and initiated remote communication.

Soon, the communication was connected, and a hoarse voice came over:

"Any results?"

Irina responded:

"Your judgment is correct. The hidden base of the enemy's activities in the southeast region of the Human Alliance and the thirteenth outer continent should be here.

Although I didn't go deep, I clearly detected the breath of more than one powerful knight.

These strong men should have used some concealment methods to avoid the supervision of the local kingdom war array.

I am now ready to lead people to retreat.

In addition, this time we still found the swamp and cave races."

As soon as the voice fell, the hoarse voice sneered:

"It's not surprising. The [Red Ring] that is friendly with us is an old rival of the [Shining Fire Hall]. The two sides know each other.

The devil will not choose to come to the Human Alliance or even the west side of the continent.

And the infamous The undead fears a violent backlash, so they will not attract too much attention at this time.

Only the swamp and crypt races are the most suitable. ”

Irina said helplessly:

"That's what I said, but these two races are also very tricky.

Because the terrain is very troublesome, the speed of destroying the strongholds of these foreign continental forces is slow.

And if time goes on, more enemies will be teleported here, so they will be more prepared and gain a foothold.

A large area near these strongholds may directly become a restricted area that is difficult to recover. ”

A hoarse voice responded:

"This is actually the lack of determination of the human alliance countries.

And you have to know that there are only so many things we can do.

The land under your feet always belongs to the local nobles and the local country.

You can make suggestions, but you have no right to comment on their choices.

Now, you should go to the local noble to receive the reward, then reject the other party's solicitation and go to the next location. "

Irina said helplessly:

"I see."

The hoarse voice continued:

"I'm very busy here. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll end the communication first."

After hearing this, I thought about the identity of the other party's nobles in the Kaya Empire, and also thought about the recent news in the Kaya Empire.

Irina couldn't help asking:

“Please wait a moment, Mr. [Dark Mage].

I heard that Viscount Morning Flower... Count Morning Flower will marry his sixth wife in two days?

This time it’s the third daughter of His Majesty the Emperor of the Kaya Empire?

Will you also be there to witness the wedding? "

The hoarse voice responded:

“Yes, this wedding has received invitations from the entire Kaya Empire’s nobility and even the royal families of some surrounding countries.

Of course I was invited.

Do you need me to send you a gift? "

Irina smiled and said:

“Then I’ll trouble you, Mr. [Dark Mage].

It's a bit regretful to say that the last life-saving grace was the deal between Mr. [Dark Mage] and the other party.

But I should actually thank the person in person to not be rude, but it's a pity that I have been busy and haven't had the chance. "

The hoarse voice responded:

"no problem."

After responding like this, before Irena could tell more, the badge went out and the contact was interrupted.

Seeing this scene, Irina couldn't help but think that as a big shot in the empire, [Dark Mage] is really as busy as ever!

After shaking her head, Irina turned back and headed towards her companions.

But as soon as he took two steps, he suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching from the ground.

She immediately raised her right hand and closed her fingers.

The flame was held in her hand and stretched up and down.

After a blink of an eye, the flames dissipated.

A long staff with a pure white background, a large number of fiery red decorations, and an extraordinary aura was held in her hand.

After shouting for others to evacuate quickly, Irina stayed where she was and waited.

Soon, a huge lizard exuding a powerful aura and an old giant lizard sitting cross-legged above it appeared from an underground passage not far away and entered Irina's field of vision.

After carefully sensing the huge extraordinary power in the opponent's body, Irina's expression became particularly solemn.

——This is an existence comparable to a champion knight!
