Chapter 20: The Dark Ranger The Serpent of Shadows

When he woke up from his slumber, Edward rubbed his dazed head and found himself sleeping in a tent.

"Crackling." When I got up and stretched, I found that many joints on my body were frozen.

"Master Edward, you're finally awake!" As if hearing movement, Sephiroth stepped into the tent.

"Safi, why are you here? I remember as if I was saving Alista, what about Alista? How is he? The drowsy head finally remembered what had happened before, so Edward hurriedly asked.

"Alysta is fine, he woke up earlier than you, and he's almost recovered now." Sephiroth said, holding Edward.

"Yes, that's great." Edward breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he came out of the tent with the help of Sephiroth.

"Where are we now? How long have I been asleep? Edward looked around him as a huge valley, and there seemed to be a lot of people walking around.

"Young master, you have slept for three days and three nights, if it weren't for the fact that your heart was still beating strongly, I'm afraid we would all suspect that you were dead." Sephiroth looked at Edward reproachfully.

"Slept for so long, ahem, sorry for worrying you." Edward knew that he was too reckless, but he had no other way, Alista was going to die, and he could not watch the little Minotaur die.

Moreover, his body has been transformed by the Chaos Dragon, and with the blessing of the power of order, it is absolutely impossible to hang up so easily, so he is not too worried.

"Master Edward, after you fell asleep that day, everyone was afraid that the troops of the Dark Council would chase after you, so they brought you to us. Everyone didn't know where to go, and they almost got into an argument, so I took it upon myself to lead everyone here. It's not remote, and it's far from the city of Konos, so the forces of the Dark Council won't be able to find it. Sephiroth explained.

"Well, Safi, you're doing a good job." Rubbing Safi's head, Edward asked, "Are you here because it's close to your hometown?" ”

"Well, young master, how do you know?" Sephiroth's careful thinking was punctured, and he asked a little embarrassed and curious.

"I saw you so nervous, I knew you must have something to hide from me. And if you can bring people here, it means that you are familiar with this place, so I know that this place must be close to your hometown. Edward said with a smile.

"Oh, this is indeed near my hometown. I'm from the Night Shard Tribe, and I've informed my brother, who is the High Leader of the Night Shard Tribe. We didn't have much food, so I asked him to bring us some food. Sephiroth said with some slurring.

"You have a younger brother, then I want to see him. But I haven't woken up for so long, I'm afraid the morale of the army has long been dissipated, so let all the undead officers and high-ranking soldiers gather in the big tent. Edward instructed a minotaur to stand by.

The minotaur warrior was a high-ranking warrior, but he obeyed Edward's orders.

In the big tent, the undead officers were naturally very happy to know that Edward had woken up.

After all, they came out on the mission of the Undead Legion, and Edward's coma had delayed too many fighters.

The Minotaur was naturally even happier, and Alista came to the tent in a hurry, and gave Edward a punch, followed by a tight hug.

"Edward, you're finally awake, I don't know why, I knew you were going to come and save me." Alista said happily.

Looking at Alista full of energy, I have to admire the strong resilience of the minotaur.

In fact, Alista's previous symptoms of excessive blood loss could be treated with a blood transfusion on Earth, but here Edward had to use forbidden magic. (Of course, it must be treated in a specialized hospital.) )

Edward's return gave everyone a backbone.

Although many of the undead subordinates are dissatisfied, they will not show it, and now Edward's Dark Elves surrendered subordinates are even stronger than the undead troops.

In fact, it is not that nothing was taken from the Molière mines.

Because before Edward's onslaught, Alvi cautiously suspended excavation operations and ordered martial law in the mines, and the miners were kept in rooms on both sides of the mines.

Of course, there were also a lot of minotaur slaves in it, so they were all released by Fermi and other minotaurs.

So Edward had a dozen more minotaurs and more than two hundred slaves of various races.

Now Edward has thirty-two minotaurs, four lizard knights, a squadron of minotaurs, a squad of dark rangers, and a slave legion of more than six hundred men.

The dungeon forces already made up the majority of Edward's forces.

This made many of the undead's subordinates feel wary, after all, the undead prefer dead allies, and no living beings are liked by them.

There was silence in the tent for a while, and Edward was also thinking about what to do next.

Internally, Edward had long planned to escape with Sephiroth and leave the underground.

But now that there are many underground wars, it is obviously not very safe to flee rashly.

In addition, Edward also liked the feeling of commanding "thousands of troops" to fight.

Coupled with the fact that he had collected so many minotaurs, and the addition of his good brother Alista, he couldn't abandon everything here and run away at will.

If you don't go, then you have to consider the demands of both parties, but fortunately there is a common enemy of the Dark Council, maybe this will be a good place to start.

And last time, the amethyst mine was almost defeated, but because of saving Alista, he lost the opportunity to harvest a large amount of amethyst, which really made Edward a little distressed.

Do you want to hit the Molière mine again? Edward kept thinking.

"Lord Edward, there's a dark elf force approaching outside, are we going to fight?" A ghost scout from the sentry came in and said.

"Dark Elf troops?" Edward looked at Sephiroth beside him.

Sephiroth nodded and said, "Do you see how well they are fighting?" ”

"It's a purple flag embroidered with a black sinuous serpentine." Ghost Scout said.

"The Shadow Serpent Banner, yes, that's my brother's banner." Sephiroth said happily.

"In that case, let's go out and meet you." Edward and his officers went out of the tent with his officers.

Sephiroth chose a remote valley, so the road out was narrow, but it was still possible to pass three or four people.

Sephiroth's younger brother, Gardex, is a mid-level Dark Ranger.

In addition, he led a small squad of Dark Rangers, plus two squadrons of Dark Sentinels to escort the food.

Looking at Gardex riding on the lizard underground, Edward found that he also had fiery red hair, which was indeed very rare among the dark elves.

Seeing Sephiroth, Gardex jumped off the mount with some excitement, and then hugged Sephiroth, and it could be seen that the relationship between the two siblings should be very good.

"Sister finally sees you again." Gardex looked at Sephiroth and said with some frowns, "Sister, are you still unwilling to cultivate dark spells?" ”

"Don't say so much, this is Edward White, the commander of the omen of war." Sephiroth seemed to have something unspeakable, and immediately turned his head and said.

"Ahh Hello, my name is Gardex Shadow Serpent Barossa, thank you for taking care of my sister. Gardex looked at Edward in surprise, after all, there seemed to be a lot of high-level professionals here, but the young human in front of him was the leader, which he didn't expect.

Looking at Edward's very complicated subordinates behind him with some strange eyes, Gardex immediately became curious about Edward, and his demeanor became less frizzy than before.

In addition, Gardex was also thinking about the relationship between Edward and Sephiroth, of course, Sephiroth never told him that he had become Edward's slave.

Edward also saw that this Gardex should be a hairy boy, and he didn't pay much attention to his previous faux pas.

The group returned to the tent, and Edward and Gardex talked for a while, and the fledgling lad did explain everything.

According to previous information, the Dark Fragment of Sephiroth's clan was assassinated by the patriarch, which led to serious divisions and infighting.

Sephiroth's mother, Enya, is also a priest of the Dark Dragon, and has a significant position in the Night Shard, leading some of the forces to divide the territory.

Sephiroth was the twelfth daughter of Enya and had a very talented talent for magic, so she was raised as a priest of the Dark Dragon from an early age.

Sephiroth, who loves freedom by nature, fled his clan soon after growing up and wandered for five years. This is also the way Gardex looked very excited when he saw Sephiroth, because he hadn't seen him for a long time.

In fact, among the dark elves, Malasa, the dark dragon god they believed, advocated intrigue.

Therefore, it is difficult for most dark elf brothers and sisters to have too deep feelings.

Even many dark elves have killed their brothers and sisters with their own hands in order to compete for power.

It's rare for Sephiroth and Gardex to be so apart for so long and have such a deep relationship.

Of course, this and the two are dragon and phoenix fetuses, and because Sephiroth has been away for a long time. Moreover, in the dark elves, women have a higher status than men, so Gardex is closer to his sibling sister.

Seeing Sephiroth this time, Gardex tried his best to persuade Sephiroth to return to the clan and help his mother fight for the power of the Dark Night Shard.

Sephiroth looked like he was in charge of Edward.

Gardex naturally turned to try to persuade Edward.

And this kid is not blind, after all, he is from the dark elf clan.

"Brother-in-law, we are a family, when my mother becomes the patriarch of the Dark Night Fragment, with my sister's talent and my brother-in-law's strength, I can definitely form a small clan, and when the time comes, maybe when my mother dies, my sister will have a chance to become the next patriarch." The boy's brother-in-law was quite amused, and Sephiroth only blushed and did not refute anything.

Of course, many of the factors in which Gardex was so enthusiastic were due to the strong troops under Edward.

In fact, there are not many people who are qualified to compete for the qualification of the patriarch of the dark night fragments, and the strength is similar, if one side can have more troops like Edward, the odds of victory will naturally be much higher.

Edward is also quite interested in this matter, after all, there is nothing to do now.

And Sephiroth is her own maid, and helping her mother unify the Night Fragments is equivalent to helping her mother-in-law.

Besides, the dark elves are quite wealthy, and helping them fight will definitely benefit a lot.

"Gardex is not bad, in that case, we will send troops to the Serpent of Shadows to help the Serpent of the Night unify the Pieces of the Night." Edward decided.

Gadex was immediately overjoyed, and was about to come out to compliment a few words.

But unexpectedly, a person under the military tent stood up and said, "Lord Edward, I am against it!" ”
