Chapter 318 Hidden Stake

Chapter 318 Hidden Stake
Shallow Snow City.

Archduke Lennon, Celine and others were having an urgent discussion.

“Father, Passatero has restarted the offensive, and the two dragons have never appeared again. We can’t pin our hopes on them anymore,” said Celine.

“Yes, I didn’t have high hopes for them. Now we need to reassess the battle situation.”

Lennon’s tone was heavy, and he was obviously in a bad mood.

“The enemy has separated some of its forces from the main camp to attack various places. Our camp must be weak. Celine, is it possible for us to launch a sneak attack?”

“I see difficulties.

Even though they are missing some fighters, our advantage is not obvious.

And Passatello is definitely ready for that.”

Xilin pondered and pointed at the map:

“But the pressure on Qianxue City has also been reduced. I can allocate some troops to support various places, or even launch a local encirclement and suppression campaign.”

“Oh? Tell me in detail.”

“We can unite with the Lentini garrison and have them lead the aliens to the area around Qianxue City.

I will lead my army to contain Passatero, find an opportunity to split up the troops, launch a surprise attack, and then immediately withdraw to the city.”

The Grand Duke laughed: “Yes, even if they reacted by then it would be too late.”

“Well, the key to the problem is how to lure the aliens over here. They have been guarding against us.”

“That depends on Raven’s ability. He has a lot of ideas.”

Su Xiluocheng military camp.

With his muscular upper body exposed, Herrit poured a large bucket of water over his head, and the ground was immediately covered with bright red blood.

He had just returned from the battlefield, his body covered in the blood of foreigners.

Just then, Dewey came over.

“Master, the secret agent we hired is here.”

“Oh? Ask him to come in.”

Soon after, Herrit looked at the young mercenary in front of him and said calmly, “What business are you doing in Lentini?”

“I am a member of the city guard.”

“Are you accompanying Raven on the expedition?”

“No, I’m not strong enough, so I’m responsible for staying behind.”

“I heard that you can get Raven’s expedition route?”

“Yes, my cousin went with him to the war, and he trusted me very much.”

“Oh? That’s great. I think Dewey has made my meaning clear. As long as you tell me where Raven is going, I promise to give you everything you want.”

“Don’t worry, sir. My information is definitely reliable.”

Harit kept staring at him and suddenly asked, “Why do you want to cooperate with me?”

The young mercenary was silent at first, then said seriously:

“I thought being employed by Lentini was safe and I could earn gold coins, but I never expected that there would be fierce fighting every day here, which was really too dangerous.

I don’t want to die, I want to enjoy myself to the fullest, and with the reward from the adults, I can enjoy the rest of my life.”

Harit smiled and said, “I am very satisfied with your answer. I will not treat unfairly those who work for me.”

After that he waved his hand.

Seeing this, Dewey took out a star card and handed it to the mercenary, saying:

“Here is 100,000 gold coins. I will give you the other half when the task is completed.”

“No, I want the full payment, and I will disappear from Lentini after the task is completed.”

The mercenary said meaningfully.

“Then no one in the whole world will be able to find me.”

“No, what if you take the money and run away first?”

“I, Li Qi, can sign a power-burning contract with you, otherwise… I’m really worried about my life.”

Harit laughed and said, “Yes, I like to make deals with smart people. Dewey, give him the rest.”

“Thank you, young master. Please rest assured that I would never dare to deceive you.” “Well, tell me what Raven is doing now.”

“He led his army to rescue Viscount Dibis today.”

“Dibis?” Herrit frowned and then shook his head.

It was still too close to Lentini, making it inconvenient for him to carry out his plan.

“Forget about it this time. From now on, before Raven goes on an expedition, you must tell me his whereabouts. Someone from Lentini will pick you up.”

Under the city of Dibis, Raven led three hundred cavalrymen and defeated a large group of Gray Moon Spirits.

Different from the past, this time the only alien races are the Gray Moon Spirits, no other races.

On the way here, he had killed a group of wilderness banshees, and it was the same thing.

Raven was confused, wondering what this meant.
In the past, Zhimin and these races were mixed together, but how come they are so clearly divided now?

A day later, the crisis facing the two lords, Dibis and Boll, was resolved.

Next, Raven advanced along the edge of the Pass Plain, wiped out two teams of elite aliens, and then quickly retreated to Lentini.

Because he was elusive and would not leave any enemies alive, the enemies had no way to deal with him.

Next to a low bush, there were corpses of Shadow Hunting Wolf Riders scattered all over the place, about five hundred in number.

Their blood had dried up, and some carrion vultures were pecking at the corpses.

At this time, a large group of Huangyou people came from afar and quickly surrounded the bushes.

Several generals of the Huangyou tribe dismounted to take a look.

“Your Highness, judging by the way they died, it was definitely that man who did it.”

“Raven, I will kill you.”

The one who spoke was an extremely majestic man from the Huangyou tribe, wearing rough copper armor and holding a big sword. It was Koku.

I don’t know what kind of treatment he received for his injury, but it seems to have healed, and he is even more powerful than before.

“Your Highness, since Raven has left the city, should we take the opportunity to attack Lentini?”

Koku looked at the general as if he were an idiot, suppressed his anger and said:

“That guy must have left a heavy force to defend, and the air cavalry is also sending messages. I’m afraid he will come back before we can take him down.”

“What should we do? Is there nothing we can do to him?”

The corner of Koku’s eye twitched, he was touched in a sore spot, he said in a deep voice:
“Wait a little longer.

The Moon Spirit Tribe’s falcon reinforcements are coming from the Western Wasteland. Once they arrive, they will be able to annihilate his air cavalry, and that will be the end of this kid.”

“Your Highness, should we tell Bai Yao about what happened today?”

“Humph, no need, let them also have a taste of that boy’s power.”

Back in Lentini, Raven did not stop for a moment and locked himself in the laboratory.

He must seize every moment to make more demon-recovering weapons.

After that meeting with Archduke Lennon, he had a clear plan for the future military direction of Lentini.

That is to create a super elite group of demon-restoring warriors.

This plan can be divided into three stages. The first stage is to complete the arming of the smallest combat unit, which is one hundred cavalrymen.

The second stage was even more ambitious, which was to arm a cavalry regiment of 500 people.

This will be unprecedented, and even if they are implanted with second-level weapons, they will be the nightmare of any enemy.

As for the third stage, Riven had a vague idea, but it was too absurd, so he kept it to himself for the time being.

For ten full days, Raven worked almost without sleep.

When you feel too tired, meditate for a while, and then continue when you feel a little better.

As for An Qi and others, they took turns guarding outside.

Every time they heard the explosion coming from inside, they were terrified and couldn’t help but sigh that the magician was indeed a dancer on the edge of a burning knife.

On this day, Riven finally got the last piece of his restored magic armor.

Different from previous ones, this is a new weapon, and it is a third-level weapon named Midsummer Prologue.
