A baby dragon has built a nest outside the Novice Village

Chapter 34 Another Battlefield

Jazz sat in the study.

He had just been in touch with his own shadow.

Just a moment ago, he realized what he seemed to have overlooked.

All the news about the Shadow Crows' gathering came from outside the territory, and from the direction where they gathered, which was the southeast of Sagat City, no reports of any unusual movements by the Shadow Crows had been received until now.

According to Shadow Crow's habit, they would conduct preliminary reconnaissance and harassment before large-scale operations. This kind of calmness was the most abnormal.

"I hope it's not what I think it is."

"Shadow" is very fast, and it won't be long before it can let the Jazz know the current situation in the southeast direction.

But the Jazz didn't sit here and wait for news from Shadow. He pressed the bell on the table.

The guard came in and took the letter from the knight.

"Is it my imagination?"

Jazz stood up. The doors and windows of the study were closed, and no light from outside came in. There were only a few lamps as a source of light.

Another "wing" of Shadow Crow entered the town of Ilek.

"The undead are wreaking havoc around the city of Sagat" is still just a rumor on the streets of the kingdom, without much substantive evidence.

That letter was prepared for this purpose. It contained an opportunity to solve the problem of Lannia, and the black hand in the capital did not seem like someone who would let go of the opportunity.

"As long as 'Shadow' arrives, everything will be fine."

"who?"

The light shone on Jazz without casting any shadow on the ground.

"Not good."

Ying hid in the shadows of the alley and observed. The current situation was much worse than expected.

"It's a courtesy to return the favor. Let me take advantage of you as well."

The only thing to worry about is whether those shadow crows will find evidence of the existence of a large number of undead.

The Jazz are handling this incident as if it were the worst-case scenario.

The mercenary mage beside him immediately stepped forward and cast a lighting spell towards the alley.

"Shadow" is not good at dealing with large-scale troops, but dealing with small-scale harassment troops and individual strong men is his forte.

The knight muttered to himself, thinking he saw the purpose of the Shadow Crows.

The leading Shadow Crow mercenary captain seemed to sense the prying eyes and turned to look towards the alley.

"Expedite it and deliver it to the capital as quickly as possible."

Of course, the worst case scenario he could think of was that Shadow Crow's Raven Guards were sniping the messenger, cutting off the transmission of information, and preparing for the next action.

"Once there is enough evidence, the kingdom will send an investigation team to assess whether to intervene on a large scale, and the Sun God Cult may also end up in trouble as a result."

Little did the Jazz know, the situation he faced was countless times worse than his worst expectations.

The mercenary captain hesitantly glanced across the illuminated alley, but he did not spot the peeper.

As he turned and left, he did not notice that in the box illuminated by the illumination magic, the shadow of a trash can was not eliminated by the light.

Shadows surged on the ground, and "Shadow" stood up.

And now he had to remain hidden, there were priests of the Sun God in this town.

Ordinary light cannot have any effect on "Shadow", and even the shadow attached to it cannot be dispelled. But light mixed with the power of the sun is different, and that light can actually hurt "Shadow".

"Can't be discovered by the bastards of the Sun God Cult."

In the distance, the priests of the Sun God Cult were calming the emotions of the civilians in the town. "Shadow" carefully avoided these priests. It was not that "Shadow" was afraid of them. If a fight really broke out, these priests would only cause some minor damage to "Shadow".

But those guys from the Sun God Church will recognize "Shadow", and then, the Sun God Church will send all the church forces from the nearest kingdoms here, regardless of any obstruction and diplomatic influence.

This is the influence of "Shadow", a product of the previous dynasty. Those nobles may have gradually forgotten that history, but the people of the Sun God Cult still remember it clearly.

The history of that "Dark Dynasty" is still a compulsory course for the clergy of the Sun God Cult.

"It seems that they only think they are facing an ordinary undead riot."

This is the only good news that "Shadow" got after observation. In this way, he can try to use other means to drive away these people of the Sun God Cult.

Fortunately, the "black hand" who received the letter will definitely take action. He will not allow his competitors to become bigger, and as long as he starts to act, the already fragile balance between the heirs will soon be broken.

"Wait until the king's capital becomes chaotic, then take advantage of the opportunity to act."

"Shadow" sank into the shadow again. It no longer made sense to stay in this town, so it prepared to leave.

"Move these two regiments outside the town of Ilek to stop those Shadow Crows, but they must not take action."

The Jazz received news from Shadow, and the situation was too bad for him to imagine.

The Sun God Cult acted too quickly and caught him off guard.

"Be patient. The strength has not yet been accumulated enough."

Expelling them by force is no longer feasible. They have already occupied the town of Ilek. Fighting them would only turn into a long siege and might also expose more information to the Cult of the Sun God.

The Sir sat back in his seat and began to draft the letter.

Since this matter has lost the window for a direct solution, let's change direction and solve it in the royal capital.

"Grandmaster, your behavior has seriously undermined many years of tradition."

The headquarters of the Shadow Crow Mercenaries has been surrounded.

The King's Guards were standing guard outside the mercenary group, while inside, the King's messenger was seeking an explanation from the Grand Commander of Shadow Crow.

Countless spies are keeping an eye on this place.

"We are just looking for the murderer who destroyed the Shadow Crow branch. This does not violate the tradition of the kingdom."

Grand Commander Shadow Crow was wearing full armor, his face completely blocked by a full-face helmet. He sat in his seat, unapologetically exuding the pressure of a level 10 warrior.

"Searching for the murderer does not require occupying the castles and military camps around the city of Sagat. Attacking the kingdom's garrison is an act of rebellion."

The Grand Commander stood up and slowly walked towards the envoy. The pressure from the powerful man caused beads of sweat to appear on the envoy's forehead.

"Your Majesty thinks so?"

The messenger took a step back and shook his head quickly.

"Of course not. Your Majesty just hopes that the Grand Commander can give an explanation and withdraw from the relevant territories of Sagete City."

The Shadow Crow Mercenary Group has three thousand official members, and each of them has a strength of at least level two. At the same time, they are the "legacy" left by the first king, so the king does not dare to provoke them too much.

"Of course I can explain this. When our people arrived, those places had already fallen, and the mercenary group only found undead creatures inside."

The Grand Commander took two steps back and sat back in his seat.

"The mercenaries cleared out these undead spirits and temporarily took over those castles and military camps. When the time is right, the mercenaries will withdraw from these places."

The messenger certainly didn't believe this. The appearance of undead around Sagat City was just some gossip.

"The mercenary group has submitted the remains of the undead creatures to the Church of the Sun God. You can confirm their authenticity with those professionals."

After saying that, the Grand Commander waved his hand.

"see a visitor out."
