Chapter 109: Crossing the River
Selivia City.
The Black Knight demigod "Sword of Decay" Livagul, stationed here, is comparing the information sent back by the undead on the front line with the information sent back by the secret informant.
Since Selivia borders the Badajos Forest to the west, Livagul planted spies in the caravans bound for the woods, despite the fact that the Half-Elves had never set foot in the outside world for nearly a hundred years and had remained a neutral observer of the war between humans and the undead.
As a result, just recently, the spy finally brought back a classified message:
Recently, in the half-elf tribe, the people's distrust of the undead has been increasing day by day, and there is even a radical force within them, advocating that the half-elves should intervene in the war on the peninsula and assist humans in expelling the undead.
This force has already connected with the kingdom of Aragon in the east, and the Bull Mercenary Group recently sent a mercenary team to the Badajo Jungle to negotiate with the radical forces.
The mercenary squad planned to start from Valencia, take the southern route around the Lamancha plateau, then cross the Andalusian region, and finally enter the Badajoz jungle from the direction of Selivia.
The details of this confidential information were so detailed that even the route and departure time of the mercenary team were clearly explained, and Livagul couldn't help but feel as if the mastermind behind the scenes had deliberately leaked it to him and wanted to use him to intercept and kill the mercenary team.
However, the infighting in the human world is not a day or two. The more famous stories in history are Charlemagne and Paladin Roland:
At that time, the undead army was on this continent, fighting with the army of the Frankish Empire, and then the spies planted on the opposite side obtained the so-called confidential information, saying that the paladin Roland would pass by where and when, how many people he would bring, etc., the details were incredible, as if it was revealed by the top of the empire himself.
As a result, as recorded in history, the army of the undead ambushed the paladin Roland according to intelligence, and eventually besieged and killed him, and then Charlemagne was late.
Livagul, who adhered to the concept of a knight in his lifetime, was dismissive of this despicable method of killing people with a sword, but after all, he was an undead first and a knight second, so he couldn't just let the mercenary team go.
Anyway, according to the intelligence route, the other party must pass through the Selivia area where he is stationed, so Livagul sent a large number of undead troops to search and patrol a large area in a net-like posture.
Finally blocked the target mercenary team today.
However, a few minutes later, the news of the feedback from the front made Livagul a little stunned.
There were a total of 9 mercenaries on the opposite side, all of whom were transcendents who had reached the law level, and the undead army on the front line couldn't resist their forcible breakthrough at all.
It's no wonder that humans are deliberately revealing information to themselves. If so many high-level transcendents were killed internally without explanation, it would be difficult for anyone to completely cover them up.
So Livagul personally set out and led the Black Knights to chase him down.
On the banks of the Guadaquivir River, the Azure Sword has once again slain a wave of undead armies.
The reason why he chose to break through instead of continue to hide is partly because there are too many undead troops searching here, and partly because this is not far from the Badajoz Jungle area.
On the other side of the river is the Doniana Everglades, filled with impassable silt and ferocious otherworldly creatures. It is impossible for the undead army to set foot there on a large scale, otherwise it is bound to suffer heavy losses.
After passing through the Everglades, turn due north, which is the southern part of the Badajo Jungle.
Therefore, as long as everyone crosses this turbulent river, they can immediately shake off the undead army behind them.
Of course, considering that the undead also know about this matter, there is a high probability that when everyone crosses the river halfway, they will be chased and killed from behind.
Therefore, it is necessary to take some special means of crossing the river quickly.
"Let's get started." Asker said.
Mia then began to unleash her abilities with all her concentration, and after nearly a minute, pulled a black hole out of the air and led directly to the other side of the wide river.
Everyone had just stepped into the black hole, and a loud and piercing sound sounded from behind. The demigod of the "Sword of Decay", Livagul, quickly rushed through the long distance from a distance at an astonishing speed, and the spear in his hand stabbed through with the power of the law.
But it only pierced the afterimage of the black hole's disappearance.
He stopped his footsteps, pulled a long ravine on the ground, and looked at the other side of the river with a dead gaze, only to hear the faint cry of Miya from the opposite side.
The cry was not clear, but Livagul's superior hearing could hear it clearly, and the little girl opposite shouted:
"Hahaha, can't catch up with me......"
Boring mockery, Livagul thought, and walked back silently with his spear raised.
Failing to catch up with this mercenary team was of course due to his own underestimation of the enemy, but the opponent's advance speed was indeed beyond imagination.
From receiving the enemy, sending the information back to him coming in person, it only took more than ten minutes in total, and the other party was able to directly kill through the layers of undead army, rushing all the way to the Guadaquivir River, and then teleporting to the other side of the river...... This is not something that ordinary mercenary groups can achieve.
Even the elite special knife teams of the big mercenary groups, as far as Livagul knew, didn't have such an efficient killing efficiency.
Otherwise, what kind of war will the kingdom of the dead fight with the kingdom of Aragone-Castia? The other party directly sent such a sharp knife team over, to see which side of your army is not garrisoned by demigods, and directly kill which side to end the command point, and the low-level undead army that has lost its grassroots commander will be directly out of control, and the undead will have no possibility of victory at all.
Oh, funny enemies.
As he returned to Selivia on foot, Livagul pondered about the mercenary squad when he suddenly felt a great cold sensation hit him.
Lifting his rotten helmet, he saw a lady in a transparent dress descend and look at him with a certain seductive smile.
"On the Edge of Mourning", the resentful demigod of Lv.32, is considered a veteran figure even in the Hafs dynasty. It is said that as early as the Carthaginian era of the early Tertiary period, this demigod was already active in the world.
However, for some reason, he did not take refuge in the underworld, which caused the demigod's sanity to be eroded extremely severely. It is said that she had forgotten her name, so she spent most of her time in her mourning dungeon, sleeping soundly to the howling and singing of countless resentful spirits.
It's just that for some reason, this time I actually came to Selivia City in person...... Thinking of the path of the mercenary squad, the Black Knight Livagul roughly guessed the answer.
"You, knight." The edge of mourning asked in a voice as ethereal as a bell, "Have you ever seen a group of humans?" ”
"Are you talking about the elite mercenary squad sent by the Bull Mercenary Regiment?" Livagul asked cautiously in a dull voice.
On the Edge of Mourning: ..................
"I don't know." As she spoke, her gaze slowly turned to the west, which was the direction of the Guadaquivir River.
Then, her figure slowly dissipated in place.
