Chapter 1353 Hidden Stronghold!
Two months later, it was noon.
The southeastern region of the Human Alliance is a wild rainforest.
Twenty warriors and mages wearing cloaks with silver giant hammer emblems maintained a relatively dispersed formation, walking in the forest holding special magic equipment.
The fluctuations of magic power and elements sweep 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 these words came out, everyone quickly started to move towards the mage's position. They gathered together and immediately set up a battle formation.
The soldiers drew their weapons to protect the outside, while the mages were on standby in the center.
When everyone followed the feedback from the exploration 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 the sight and perception of everyone, the surrounding quiet rainforest suddenly became active and noisy.
Monitor lizards began to rise quickly from the mud in the swamp in front of them.
The mottled giant trees around them also began to have carvings of snake scales, and a female demon with snake hair spit out snake letters and stared at them with a short bow.
Under such changes, a leading soldier said loudly:
"Prepare for battle, defensive formation!"
As he spoke, he shot a bright red signal arrow high into the sky.
And at the next moment, on the top of a giant tree next to him, the snake-haired banshee suddenly opened her right eye wide, and a gray beam of light shot out and attacked him. !
Because he did not relax his vigilance, the leading warrior noticed the attack immediately and immediately raised his shield to block it.
After the shield and the beam came into contact, the metal shield quickly began to turn into gray stone with the contact point between the two as the center.
The warrior who sensed something was wrong quickly dropped the shield that was beginning to turn into stone and dodged to the side.
When the Gorgon at the top of the giant tree was about to turn the [Petrified Beam].
Under the spell of a mage, violent flame elements exploded beside her, scorching most of her body at once.
It's like a signal to start a war.
After this back and forth exchange.
More swamp and cave races hiding in the rain forest launched a violent attack on the humans who broke in here.
The well-prepared human warriors and mages also cooperated with each other in defense and counterattack.
The fierce attack and defense suddenly kicked off!
However, this battle did not last long.
Because the signal arrows were fired immediately, friendly troops who were searching in the nearby area quickly came to support them.
The leader is none other than the next heir to the [Silver Hammer Alliance] - Irena Resfield!
As the legion of flame elements enveloped the entire field, the stalemate battle that had been evenly matched before suddenly became one-sided.
Many swamp monsters, giant lizards, and gorgon quickly began to retreat in confusion.
After chasing for a certain distance along the direction of the opponent's retreat.
A hidden entrance hidden under a giant tree and connected to the vast underground space appeared in front of everyone.
After using magic to sense at the entrance, I briefly observed the deep passages and caves in this underground space.
Irina then returned to the ground with her men and instructed:
"Clean the battlefield and prepare to retreat. There should be strong people hiding here.
Quickly contact the surrounding people Stay here and let them inform the local and nearby nobles about the situation here."
While everyone is acting independently.
Irina came to the open space next to her alone, took out a simple badge that looked like a shield, input magic power, and initiated remote communication.
Not long after, the communication was connected, and a hoarse voice came over:
"Is there any result?"
Irina responded:
"Your intelligence is correct. The enemy's hidden activity base in the southeastern region of the Human Alliance and the thirteenth outer continent should be here.
Although I didn't go deep, I could clearly detect the aura of more than one powerful knight.
These powerful men should have used some concealment methods to avoid the supervision of the local kingdom's war circle.
I am now ready to lead people to retreat.
In addition, this time we still found swamp and crypt races. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the hoarse voice sneered:
"It's not surprising that the [Crimson Circle] we are friends with is an old rival of [Yaohuo Palace], and both parties understand each other.
The devil will not choose to come to the Human Alliance or even the west side of the continent. It is notorious The fear of the undead will cause a violent backlash, and it will definitely not attract too much attention at this time.
Only the swamp and crypt races are the most suitable.”
Irena. He said helplessly:
"That's what it is said, but these two races are also very troublesome.
Because the terrain is very troublesome, the Human Alliance countries are slow to destroy these outer continental power strongholds.
And if time goes by, , more enemies will be teleported over, allowing them to be more prepared and gain a firm foothold.
The large area near these strongholds may directly become a restricted area that is difficult to recover.”
The hoarse voice responded:
"This is actually because the countries of the Human Alliance are not determined enough.
And you have to know that there is only so much 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 interfere with their choices.
Now, you should go to the local nobles to receive the reward, then reject the other party's solicitation and go to the next location. ”
Irina said helplessly:
"I know."
The hoarse voice continued:
"I'm very busy here. If you don't have anything else to do, I will end the communication first.”
After hearing this, I thought about the identity of the nobles of the Kaya Empire and the recent news about the Kaya Empire.
Irina couldn't help asking:
"Please wait a moment, Mr. [Dark Mage].
I heard that Viscount Chenhua... Count Chenhua is going to get married in two days. His sixth wife?
This time is the third daughter of His Majesty the Emperor of Kaya?
Will you also attend the wedding? ”
The hoarse voice responded:
“Yes, the entire Kaya Empire’s nobles and even the royal families of some surrounding countries have received invitations to this wedding.
Of course I was also invited. List.
Do you need me to give you a gift?”
Irina smiled:
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. [Dark Mage].
It's a pity to say that the last life-saving grace was the deal between Mr. [Dark Mage] and the other party.
But I actually It’s not rude to thank the other person in person, but I’ve 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 just after taking 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 the 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 its head appeared from the 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 face became particularly solemn.
——This is an existence comparable to a champion knight!
