Chapter 60: The Shadow Thief Returns

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight shone through the streets of Scarlet City......

However, this morning was different from the previous tranquility, and the soldiers in full gear stood in two columns and filled the wide streets, their expressions solemn, as if they were about to sail for a distant battlefield.

In front of the soldiers are dozens of knights riding tall black earth dragons, this is the Swift Dragon Knights of the Starry Night Lord, this territory's special army is no secret in the West Hartland region, but correspondingly, this army has also been well-trained, forming a powerful instant combat force, even if it is known, it is not a big deal.

At the back of the team is a group of mages wearing blue robes and shadow druids stationed in the starry night, this large group of spellcasters is the most high-end combat power of the starry night leader, and with the number of mages of this scale, there is no one on the continent of Faeron except for a few well-known forces......

The whole army was joined together with a terrifying momentum, and this procession of several thousand men marched from the head of the city to the center of the city, and everyone was well-armed and imposing, and it was impossible not to alarm the inhabitants of the city.

However, the residents who watched the bustle did not dare to come down, they could only open their windows and look down, and then you and I began to discuss it word by word.

"Oh, do you know where those armies are going?"

"I don't know, my son is serving in the army, but he didn't say anything to me before, he suddenly didn't come home for a day last night, and he was ready to leave today."

"It's so sudden, it can't be that something big is happening around the territory......

"I don't think that's the case, after several crusades against the encirclement and suppression of monsters in the Starry Night, where are there still people in West Hartland who dare to trouble us, I suspect that this operation was premeditated."

"That's great, my son is nagging me all day long that he wants to make a career in the army, but I didn't expect this day to finally come."

"Well, I really regret that I didn't send my child into the army, it's a shame."

Obviously, in the dialogue of these ordinary people at the bottom, it can be very straightforward to reflect a person's sense of belonging to the territory.

If it were to be changed to a territory with few people's hearts, such a rash dispatch of troops would definitely arouse the disgust of these ordinary people, and might even cause a certain degree of panic.

Because marching and fighting a war is, after all, a matter of labor and money, they will worry that their lives will be affected by the war, whether their army will be able to beat the other party, and whether their children who have served in the army will be able to come back......

In any case, it will never happen that everyone is looking at the advancing army with anticipation and pride.

In fact, don't talk about them, even the soldiers in the army are confused.

They received an urgent order for a curfew last night to prepare for today's operation, which is also the same strict discipline of the Starry Night Leader, and no one is uncooperative with the sudden order, which can also see the combat ability of the Starry Night Leader from the side.

"Let's go!"

At the front of this mighty army, Yuenuo was wearing silver-white enchanted armor, holding a firework bite enchanted with flame effects, and when he saw that his time was almost up, he let out a very grand shout, and the magic sword flashed an orange trajectory, and the blade pointed straight ahead.

"Boom ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud sound of tooth soreness, and two city gates made of redwood wood mixed with metal dozens of meters high slowly opened to both sides, and the bright sunlight lost its barrier and shone directly into the slightly dim city.

"Old Walker, where do you think these troops are going?"

In a tavern in Scarlet City, near the downtown area, a young man with a shaved head who looked very smart asked the tavern owner.

"Who knows, Bass, I warn you, don't ask about this, these are all military secrets, I don't want to be dragged into prison by you!" The middle-aged uncle immediately scolded the young man named Bass, the young man now really doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and daring to inquire about anything on the Feren Continent will only speed up his death.

"Don't worry, old man, I know what is important, I'm just a little curious." Bas smiled, drank the crude ale in front of him, then took a few oily stains from his dirty pocket and put them on the table as wine money, and ran outside without looking back......

"Hehe, what a reckless young man." Old Walker couldn't help laughing when he saw the other party's hurried back, to be honest, he still had a good impression of that kid in his heart, he worked neatly and was clever enough, if he could use this kind of wit on the right path, old Walker believed that this poor young man would be able to get ahead in the starry night......

But what he could never have guessed was that the other party sneaked into a secluded cul-de-sac as soon as he left the tavern......

"Chief, I've inquired, and they don't know what these troops are out for."

Gone was Bass's original sunny and clever expression, replaced by a gloomy and murderous look.

"Really?" There was not a single creature in the secluded alley, but there was an ethereal and eerie voice.

"Then you have to investigate their movements and intentions this time, and I will now report this important information to the adults. Three days later, you continue to come here to find me. ”

After a brief silence, the ghost-like voice sounded again, as if it were thinking about the situation in front of it.

"This time the stakes are high, and you should know what the shadow thief will do to you if you fail."

"But you also know that as long as you can complete this mission beautifully, then I want you to guarantee that you can at least be the head of one branch."

"Our organization has gained a foothold in Alastra, and the Council of Five has given us a place to become a Council of Six, but we shadow thieves are definitely not vengeful people, and those damned guys must pay for the mistakes they made before!"

Speaking of this, the ethereal female voice suddenly changed its taste, and the killing intent permeated the entire alley like substance.

"Yes, I understand these things, and may the Lord of Shadows watch over us."

Bas bowed his head reverently, and it was obvious that under the other party's pressing momentum, the young man chose to bow his head......

"May the Lord of Shadows watch over us." (To be continued.) )
