Chapter 137: The Dark City

Dark swamp, a large team of more than two hundred people quietly stepped into it. Since the mercenaries had no horses, it took Zod a day to lead his party to the edge of the dark swamp. Naturally, wizards and priests rode horses to ensure their energy and vitality. However, as soon as these means of transportation entered the swamp, they were useless, and the overly complex terrain in the swamp made the horses completely meaningless.

Stepping into the swamp, everyone began to hike. Fortunately, although the dragon man Takneo acted as a temporary guide, he was indeed very familiar with this swamp. Smoothly led the group around several completed lizardman battle forts. Zode noticed that the lizardmen in these forts were all ordinary lizardmen, and even some old and weak species were mixed in, it seemed that the "King of the Swamp" had indeed taken away most of the combat power, and even such a remote fort could not guarantee enough soldiers.

Along the way, you will encounter countless swamp sludge traps and poison gas traps, deadly snakes and insects lurking beneath the silt, and the ubiquitous swamp hunters. However, the wizarding group led by the old wizard Doyle is probably the most experienced group of wizards among the human race. Most of them have traveled to many places, experienced countless dangers, and are experienced and well-informed.

Without Zode's guidance and Tacneo's reminders, the wizards of the wizarding group began to skillfully use all kinds of small magic to relieve the crises around them.

"Insect Repellent Spell"

"Spotting Traps"

"Detecting Toxicity"

"Water Formation"

As time passed, the wizards became more and more skilled in cooperating. Even some large swamp predators can quickly cooperate to deal with enemies without using large magic.

So many wizards gathered together to join the war, something that had never happened before. Wizards have a high status among human beings, and have always been the objects of protection, and a single wizard will always travel with a sufficient number of guards.

And like now, a large group of wizards came out en masse, and there was an incredible change. To be able to become wizards, these human beings have a very high level of intelligence, and they also found out about this situation and began to tirelessly start discussing the problem of cooperation between such wizards.

Two days later, the party finally arrived at the heart of the Lizardfolk Kingdom, the Undercity.

Built at the bottom of a towering cliff, the Undercity is a rare rocky flat in the Dark Swamp, home to a large complex of buildings. The Undercity occupies this rocky terrain, and is even much larger than Morton.

"Sludge giants?!, these lizardmen have tamed such a powerful race!" a wizard shouted.

Sure enough, following the wizard's guidance, Zode found that in the Undercity, there were actually a large number of sludge giants roaming all corners of the city, acting as the guardians of the city. Beside them, a few strong lizardfolk warriors stand guard at the feet of the Sludge Giants.

The Sludge Giants belong to the subspecies of Giants, they are not highly intelligent and are slow to move. However, as high-level creatures, these sludge giants have great strength and are the best creatures to guard the city, and I didn't expect the lizard people to be able to tame so much.

It seems that due to the fact that the "Lord of the Swamp" took most of the lizardmen in the city, the sprawling city seems a bit depressed and deserted, and there are not many lizardmen in sight. However, there are indeed a lot of human slaves here, who are shackled, and driven by the lizardmen guards, are constantly building this lizardman city.

Zode quietly retreated out of the Undercity's field of vision, gathered his subordinates and began to discuss how to attack the city.

"The lizardmen have a lot of strength to guard, and it's not a good idea for us to attack head-on with this little manpower. ”

"Maybe you can do a sneak attack at night?"

"These lizardmen are well-trained, and I'm afraid we'll have a hard time getting rid of all the guards quickly. Especially those sludge giants, it's very difficult to deal with. If only I could blend in. ”

"You can break into the city from behind, and I've noticed that the walls here are completely shoddy and easy to break through. ”

"No, the slightest change will attract a large number of guards. These lizardmen have placed a lot of cordons around the city. ”

The wizards began to discuss aloud with each other, and their minds were clear and nimble, and they soon offered some good advice to Zod.

"There's no need to sneak in, I have a better idea to be able to bring some wizards into the city, who among you have learned Transfiguration?" said Zod in the end, making a good plan.

......

Since the king took most of the elite warriors of the Lizardman Kingdom, the Lizardman General Barber in the Undercity simply sealed off the entire city, forbidding all foreign races to enter, and even drove the kobolds and ogres out of the city. In order to ensure the safety of the rear, General Barber can be said to have tried his best.

Everything seems to be going very well, with news of the King's victory coming from the front, and the Undercity is in good shape, with nothing major happening.

"Report, General. His Highness Tacneo has returned, and he says that he has important information to report to the General. A lizardman guard walked into the old lizardman general's room and reported.

"Your Highness Tacneo, isn't he missing? Lord Cramouris is looking for him, how did he end up in the Undercity?" The old lizardman muttered strangely. However, as a liaison between the Lizardmen Kingdom and the Black Dragon Lord, Takneo has a special status among the Lizardmen, and Barble doesn't want to snub him, so he quickly asks his subordinates to bring them in.

Soon, the tall dragonman prince walked in with seven or eight lizardman guards. Although the old lizardman thought that these fellow guards looked a little strange, he didn't think too much about it, and quickly got up to greet Tacneo.

"Your Highness, the lord is looking for you everywhere, how can you have the spare time to come to me? His Majesty has already gone on his expedition, and I'm afraid there isn't anyone you're looking for. ”

"I'm sorry, my friend, but it's you I'm looking for. Takneo, who looked much thinner than before, shrugged his shoulders and said to General Bobble with a helpless expression.

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis flooded into the old lizardman's heart. He jumped backwards, about to pull out the blade at his waist.

However, a figure was faster than him, and before the lizardman general could draw his weapon, a shiny straight-edged sword had already plunged into his throat.

"You ...... Who the hell is it?" the old lizardman general opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't make any sound. I could only watch as the attendants in the house were quickly strangled by this group of intruders.

"Silent Enchantment"

The raid inside the house was clean, and even the slightest sound was blocked by this magical barrier. The guards outside were unaware of what was happening here.
