Chapter 109: The identity of allies

In the territory of the Kingdom of Aldis, in the Blackwater War Fortress, Claudia stood on the city wall and looked down at the army gathered at the city gate and the prisoners who were driven away, her brows furrowed slightly. Clauseia felt that she was already very cruel, but the allies below were even more cruel.

They, or rather, they actually eat people raw, and most of the corpses of the enemies on the battlefield have been disposed of by them. Not only that, but the miserable captives will face unimaginable doom as they will be sent to the Abyssal Plane, and the final result Claudia will be able to guess that they will either become food or be assimilated into demonic creatures.

Among all the high-ranking members of the empire, not many people know the true identity of these allies, and His Majesty the Emperor has revealed to his subordinates that are dark elf allies. But in reality, this is not the case, and Clauseia happens to be the one who knows the truth.

Abyssal creatures! These allies include not only the Dark Elves, but also terrifying creatures from the Abyss, and it is said that the Dark High Priest of the Dark Elves signed a pact with a lord of the Abyss in order to avenge the elves, so he received reinforcements from the Abyss Lord. This time, the Marfa Empire's full-scale attack on Aldis was not the original intention of His Majesty the Emperor, but to be precise, it was the idea of the Dark High Priest.

A few months ago, Claudia was also present, after all, she was a confidant of His Majesty the new emperor. The Dark High Priest secretly signed a contract with His Royal Highness the Second Prince at that time, one of the contents of which was that the dark elves would help the second prince ascend the throne, and the second prince would send troops to help the high priest attack the elves.

The second prince Robert has been peeking at Wang Wei for a long time, and he knows very well that the eldest prince's ability is no worse than him, so it is difficult for Wang Wei to take his turn, and the two sides hit it off. Soon after, His Majesty the Old Emperor died violently and inexplicably! Claudia knew very well that it must be the hand of the Dark High Priest, but she would not ask about such a thing, and she was only loyal to the second prince Robert, because there was a past between her and the prince a long time ago.

Prince Robert once saved her life, but refused her personal promise, which caused Clauseia's mentality to become more and more distorted, and even now there is no open husband, and even the old earl who wants to force him to marry is directly killed......

Not long ago, the Blood Rose Legion led by Claudia and the Southern Legion led by Count Beckett joined forces to break through the Blackwater Fortress. Clauseia witnesses the power of the creatures of the abyss. Most of these abyssal creatures are humanoid creatures, they have strong defenses, ordinary swords are difficult to kill them, and they also have a strong ability to heal themselves, Claudia saw with her own eyes that the arm of an abyssal creature was cut off, and in the next few minutes, a new arm was regrown, it can be said that as long as the head is not cut off, or the heart is destroyed, as long as they are given time, they will recover as before.

In her heart, Claudia disapproves of the new king's association with the creatures of the abyss, after all, once this kind of thing is exposed, the Marfa Empire will become a public enemy of the mainland. Claudia doesn't care about the Empire, she only cares about Robert, and she can't go against Robert's wishes.

According to the contract with the Dark High Priest, it is not so easy for the Empire to send troops, because it has to cross at least three countries, the Kingdom of Aldis, the CIS and the United Duchy of Hyde in the southeast. Among them, the CIS Sect is good to say, you only need to get a pass, the middle area of the United Principality of Hyde is not large, and you can completely bypass it, but Aldis is all bordered by land, and if you want to bypass, you can only pass through the Red Moon Forest.

Crossing the Red Moon Forest was impossible to achieve in any case, so the High Priest of Darkness suggested that he would exclude reinforcements to help Robert conquer the kingdom of Aldis, after which the two sides would attack Anaheim together.

In fact, Claudia knew very well in her heart that the Dark High Priest was very ambitious, and she was not satisfied with only attacking Anaheim, and to put it bluntly, Robert was also an ambitious emperor, and even if the two of them didn't explain, they knew each other's intentions in their hearts. Therefore, Clauseia is sure that after taking the Kingdom of Aldis, the next target will definitely not be Anaheim, but the CIS or the United Principality of Hyde. If Claudia had chosen, she would have chosen to attack the United Duchy of Hyde first, and in fact she believed that His Majesty Robert would do the same.

The CIS is a religious country, the sects are more complex, in addition to the internal religion, there are a large number of religious people in all corners of the continent, attacking them may enter a long and bitter battle, even with the help of the abyssal creatures. Moreover, the CIS has no ambitions to annex its neighbors, and it is also blind to the wars around it, so attacking the United Principality of Hyde is the best option.

Most of the United Duchy of Hyde is located in the northeastern seas, and capturing it is equivalent to occupying the sea routes, and Claudia heard that His Majesty Robert was secretly training the navy, and secretly building warships somewhere in the east. What do you want a navy for a landlocked country? Is it for decoration? Isn't that obvious enough?

Clauseia sighed, everything doesn't matter, His Majesty Robert is playing with fire, it doesn't matter, even if he sets himself on fire, Clauseia will follow him and rush into the bath.

Glancing down again, his gaze finally stayed on the position of the pit in the distance, the captives of the Blackwater Fortress were escorted into the pit one by one, ordinary soldiers didn't know what it was at all, they just thought that they would be buried alive and executed after pressing in, after all, Count Claudia never kept prisoners. No one could have imagined that those captives would become miserable food.

The destruction of the Blackwater Fortress means that it will be easy to attack any town in the middle of the kingdom in the next step, you must know that the Blackwater Fortress is a transportation hub to several large cities, including the king, and this place has been breached, which means that half of the Kingdom of Aldis has been breached. Originally, Blackwater Fortress had 10,000 defenders, and it was the kind of army with good equipment, but in the end, the army was defeated by the empire's 4,000 troops, which would have been unbelievable before.

But this time, even the old king was not too shocked when he got the news, because the combat power of the Marfa Empire was too strong, especially the strong ones mixed in with the ordinary army. More than three months have passed since the beginning of the war, dozens of battles have taken place, large and small, and Aldis has hardly achieved any key victories, and the reason for this is the elusive powerhouse in the Imperial army.

According to survivors' reports, most of these strong men possess dark and corrosive abilities, and their physical fitness is far beyond the level of ordinary soldiers, and even has a strong ability to recover themselves, so they do not need the help of a healer at all. Once they appeared, they killed and injured ordinary soldiers like a whirlwind, and even received news that officers were directly killed.

The old king had no choice but to deal with the one-sided situation of the war, and even some of the big nobles had a tendency to flee or surrender, not to mention them, even the old king himself forcibly sent his favorite princess back to Saint Sorin, leaving only the prince with a reckless personality. However, the intelligence department received information that those new forces are likely to be abyssal creatures, which can be said to be the only piece of good news since the start of the war. But because there is no conclusive evidence, otherwise it will be directly announced to the world, and the Marfa Empire will immediately become the target of public criticism. Know that abyssal creatures are rejected by the entire continent at all times.

To this end, the old king sent intelligence officers to collect evidence of the Marfa Empire, and the entire intelligence department was dispatched, including the governor of the intelligence department, the assassin Nightingale of the Star Realm. And at this moment, the nightingale was near the pit.

'There's something wrong with this hole!' Nightingale decided to venture in, even though her instincts told her that there might be something terrible inside the pit.

Sou! The nightingale swooped out, and the man unleashed the ability of the Shadow Assassin in the air, and the Shadow Walk. This is a technique similar to stealth, except that it is more stealthy, poorly lit and almost impossible to spot, has no time limit, and has a low cost. For an assassin of the Nightingale's level, it is possible to keep the shadows wandering for more than half a day.

Moreover, after the Shadow Walk, all attack abilities will be enhanced, which is the strongest assassination method of the Shadow Assassin.

The nightingale walked in the shadows and quietly followed the latest group of captives, but she didn't know that just after she entered the pit, a miniature magic circle on the ground on the left lit up.

Nightingale watched as despair was written on the faces of these Kingdom soldiers, and she could only resist the urge to rescue them, after all, her mission was crucial.

About twenty of the captives in each group were rushed in, and the mouth of the pit was monitored by archers with bows, and if they didn't go inside, they would shoot them on the spot, so the captives with their hands tied could only helplessly advance into the depths.

The nightingale clings to the walls of the pit and moves cautiously, and as soon as it enters the pit it its vision darkens, even for an assassin like the nightingale, it takes a process of adaptation to both eyes. At this moment, she felt a strong danger, instinctively dodged backwards, only to feel a huge suction force from the depths, and the nightingale immediately mobilized its power and only stuck to the stone wall.

At this time, the desperate cries of the captives were heard, and they went deeper and deeper until they were completely silent, as if something terrible had happened to them.

The nightingale's vision finally adjusted to the darkness, and she gasped as she looked into the depths!

Clauseia jumped directly off the city wall, a few meters high wall was nothing to her as a demon warrior, and she issued an order to one of the officers next to her: "Tell Adjutant Glaven to let those outsiders gather in the pit and let all our soldiers leave the vicinity of the pit." ”

After the order, Claudia quickly rushed towards the direction of the pit, because before, she had arranged a miniature magic array at the entrance of the pit, which had just been triggered, which meant that it had been entered by the strong, and the rank was at least gold, for the sake of safety, Claudia immediately ordered the ordinary soldiers to leave, and let those abyssal creatures come to surround it, for fear of revealing the secret.

Nightingale didn't know she was being targeted, and she was now shocked to record what was happening in the pit with a magic crystal of images. The Image Magic Geodes are crystals that have been processed by alchemists to record images of nearby events in a short period of time, and now they are recording the captives being sucked in by an ugly mouth!

"That's ...... Tunnel Demon! ”
