In another dimension, the Ghost Lantern Council, the four corners of an illusory pentagram circle each ignited a flame of light. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The gold is Hathaway, the off-white is Gruno Shogi, the blue is Leila, and the dark red is Zhu Peng...... However, the vacant seat of the priest Chess Ventus did not ignite any flames, and this kid was very lucky.

"Lord Hathaway, you are in the Rhodoc Kingdom with Ventus, do you have any news of him?"

Zhu Peng conveyed his thoughts and asked Hathaway, after all, the five of them were all teammates in the same camp of the plastic energy department, and it was still necessary to maintain some concerned postures.

"His situation is more complicated, according to the information I have, he originally wanted to possess the body of a great nobleman of Rhodok, consumed a lot of essenic energy, but finally failed, and now he is rejected by the daughter of the great nobleman, and is currently in a coma...... I can't count on him anymore, and the failed reincarnation is now fighting with that girl's soul for physical dominance, and none of us can help him. The ripples of her thoughts flickered, and Hathaway's will spread to everyone else directly to understand the situation.

"Then leave that waste alone, this is my meeting, and I need your support to carry out a plan.

I have found the plane gate of the Silver Moon World to invade the Zenda world, although they have already sent two spies of the Foresight System, but they are not my opponents, if we can destroy the plane gate established by the Orcs of the Silver Moon World, even if we can't directly defeat the Foresight System, we can have a huge advantage. The gray-white flame representing Gruno Gil flickered and fluctuated, and the will of the empty soul spread, and what he said was indeed a killing move that simply hit the opponent's vital point.

Along with the words, some images are also passed into everyone's consciousness.

Zhu Peng saw that in the vast desert of the wilderness, countless green-skinned orcs were raiding villages, burning and looting, and they were building a huge gate made of stone and flesh together, and countless orc shamans were killing, sacrificing, and casting spells around it.

This scene shows that Gruno Gil has indeed found the coordinates of the Silver Moon Plane's invasion of the Zenda world, and regardless of his unruly personality for the time being, this kid's ability is indeed strong.

"Our actions are under the watchful eye of Lord Throne, and Lord Gandalf agrees with my battle plan...... Now, I need your strength to assist me in sniping the true advent of the Silver Moon World. As Gruno said this, everyone present bowed their heads in respect, the transcendent throne of the fifth order, the strongest leader of the hand of sin, and the king of the world: Gandalf Albus.

"Since it's an adult's order, we will naturally obey it. I now have a hundred and twenty Jungle Kings troops, twenty druids, fifty unicorn knights, and dryads...... You won't need the Dryads, and they won't be able to go to the desert to fight. In addition, you can choose from all the equipment and treasures in my hands, and I can also provide support for dinars and weapons. As soon as Hathaway heard that it was Gandalf's order, she did not hesitate to send her entire family to support. Although she couldn't use the army of the Rhodok Kingdom to support the Sultan of Salander, just this woman's own private army was already terrifying.

The King of the Jungle is a fourth-level high-mobility infantry unit, especially good at the mountainous jungle terrain that is not conducive to horse warfare, and is the most feared killer of long-range troops in complex warfare, and the killing of street battles in complex terrain is also quite terrifying.

The Druids are a level 5 ranged spellcasting side unit with the power to harness thunder and storm in combination with spellcasting.

The unicorn knight is a sixth-level cavalry unit, with a slightly weaker load capacity, but the speed is beyond the reach of ordinary mortal war horses, and the explosive power is amazing, the conventional method of battle is to ride and shoot away, and once it has accumulated enough advantages, gathering and charging can sweep the opponent in a short period of time like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves.

The Dryad is a seventh-level class, although its movement speed is slow and subject to many restrictions, but the terrifying defensive attributes, the amazing vigorous vitality, and the powerful long-range attack ability of the Rhodok Kingdom, such a combination makes people's scalps tingle just thinking about it.

"Lord Hathaway's loyalty and ability are unquestionable, but the King of the Jungle can't be used in the desert, so you can lend me the druids and the unicorn troops, and you will need some magical assistance...... Lord Zhu Peng, if I want to break through the plane gate of the Silver Moon World, I need to take the heirloom of the Marquis of Leiland's family, the 'Bloodthirsty Throwing Spear'. Gruno suddenly turned around and said to Zhu Peng, opening his mouth to ask for almost the strongest throwing weapon in the Calradia continent.

Bloodthirsty Throwing Spear, one of the three throwing spears of the Nord folklore hero Gonze, Gonze once killed the Kraken with one of the Throwing Spears, and left the Throwing Spear in the heart of the Kraken so that it could not be resurrected. Later, after the sea monster completely decayed, the spear washed ashore with the current and fell into the hands of the ancestor of Leiland, who was still a peasant child at the time, and Leiland's ancestor also made a career with this legendary throwing spear, and finally became one of the nobles of the Nord Kingdom, occupying the coastal commercial giant city of Woche.

Compared with the comprehensive strength of Vigiarivache, the economic strength of the Nord Kingdom is slightly weaker, but its military strength is probably stronger, the Leiland family has at least more than 500 soldiers, and the sixth-level Nord royal guards with more than 100 people under it show the long history of the Leiland family, and also represent the profound strength of this family.

Even if these 100-person sixth-level Noh Emperor guards are pulled to the plains and hedged against the 100-person Swadia Knights, they may not lose, and Zhu Peng now has these family funds in his hands, I am afraid that it will not be enough for others to cut them in two minutes. However, at this moment, Zhu Peng could not refuse Gruno's request.

"I ......"

"We also know that with your current strength alone, even if you barely do it, I'm afraid that all the foundation accumulated before will be destroyed, which is not in line with our strategic interests, so Leila will go over to help you, you find a chance to fight with Saeki, the current head of the Leiland family, in the wild, as long as the opponent's strength is reduced to a certain limit, Leila will intercept and kill Saeki Leiland on the way back.

The bloodthirsty spear is a token of the Rayland family, and it must be worn on the body of the current family owner, and after Leila succeeds, he will return to Rhodoc to let Hathaway enchant the spear, as for Zhu Peng, your Custer family, at most, was reprimanded by the king for provocation, and lost some troops, but generally speaking, it did not damage the foundation of power. Gruno arranges the plan and talks eloquently, showing a meticulous strategic thinking.

“...... Ah, what a hard work I have. Zhu Peng, you haven't had time to pick up the hidden class blueprint I put in Zhivadin, right? I'll give it to you by the way this time, I'm already a second-order official wizard now, as long as you send troops to reduce Zoeki Rayland's followers to less than 100 people, I can definitely forcibly grab the bloodthirsty throwing gun. The blue flame representing Leila flickered, conveying thoughts.

As a Nord nobleman, even in the wilderness within his territory, Zoeki Rayland often carries an army of about 150 people, of which the elite is probably nearly 100 people, and forcibly gnawing away 50 of them in the field state is indeed as Gruno said, but for Zhu Peng, at least it is also a big loss of vitality, and this is not counting the chain reaction after this incident. After a battle with the Custer family on the front foot, and a surprise attack on the back foot, I am afraid that the entire noble circle of Nord and Virgian will begin to spread the rumors that the Custer family colluded with evil demons, and the Leland family, who had lost their family heirloom, would not give up.

"There's no need for the Custer family to send troops...... I'll kill 50 of Zoeki Rayland's subordinates, and I'll hand over the remaining 100 to you, Mr. Lyra, the 'Poet of Hell'. Zhu Peng conveyed his thoughts to everyone, and he opened his cards.

In the past two months, the tavern in Gerber Fort has been upgraded to the level of a third-level tavern under the supervision of Artiman, and the bonus effect of the Dark Head is superimposed, which is the actual effect of the fifth-level tavern.

This made Zhu Peng extremely well-informed in all aspects, and he knew that there was a woman called "Yan Widow" in the southern Rhodok Kingdom, "Jamila", who became the mistress of the old king of the Rhodok Kingdom, and walked into the ranks of the Rhodok nobles at an astonishing speed.

He knew that there was a gang of unscrupulous horse thieves in the territory of the Sultan of Salander, the desert country, who plundered villages, kidnapped nobles, and even destroyed castles, causing the entire Salander Sultan to be restless in a short period of time, and the entire country's military system was operating wildly.

The majesty of this group of "wolf thieves" has even surpassed the shocking news that the orcs appeared in the south of the continent, Gruno did it deliberately, he mobilized the military force of the entire Salander Sultan, so that even if he could not defeat the advance army of the Silver Moon Plane World, those orcs would not want to be caught off guard against the Desert Kingdom...... Before you win, you lose before you lose, and Gruno Gill is a great talent.

Also through the news of the tavern, Zhu Peng knew that there was a troubadour wandering alone on the mainland, and he could compose the most moving and pleasant poems to make countless ladies and young ladies move in spring.

The evil and handsome poet has the power to control both fire and wind, mysterious and powerful, some time ago he just killed a group of bandits with a size of more than 100 people in the kingdom of Svadaya, and saved the sister of Count Svadaya Harengos, but after seizing the heart of the beauty, he drifted away without hesitation, and was called 'Hell Poet' by the people on the mainland, and he was rumored to have demonic blood.

Of course, the news is not only these, in fact, the entire Calradia continent is currently surging, there are heroes rising everywhere, and there are rumors of evil demons and treasures everywhere, Zhu Peng just knew the true identity of the three of them, so he deliberately picked it out to focus on it, and I believe that other people also know about Zhu Peng's situation...... The noble son of the prodigal son of the Custer family, the outstanding military talent, the hero of the Snow Country who slayed the demons, and the de facto controller of Fort Djerbor.

It is reasonable for spy wizards to pay attention to each other.

It's just that at this moment, Zhu Peng's sentence "There is no need for the Custer family to send troops...... I'll kill fifty of Saeki Rayland's subordinates. The other three were still stunned.

"Demon Slayer, I see...... Which necromantic spy did you kill to gain essentia energy?" Gruno reacted quickly, they all knew Rod Custer's name as a demon slayer, but they didn't think about the spy wizard. However, if Zhu Peng had the strength to kill fifty elite warriors, there was no other explanation unless he consumed a lot of essentia energy to fill his strength.

In fact, when Gruno proposed the plan to snipe at the Silvermoon Plane, someone should have raised the possibility of the necromantic spy hiding in the shadows to pick up the bargain.

It's just that Gruno said that it was an order given by Lord Gandalf, and it directly suppressed all the hesitation of the others, because whether or not they were picked up by the necromancy, the order of Lord Throne could not be disobeyed...... This is a game of God's chess, and all four people present are chess pieces.

"Some time ago, I was very lucky enough to kill the necromantic shogi Chris, according to him, it seems that all the reincarnations of the Necromantic Spy have gone wrong, she once mentioned a name 'Esso Mirandon', I consulted the ancient texts, and also found this name in the 'Holy War' 1,200 years ago in the history of the Kalradian civilization...... The Demon Lord Esso, the Emperor of the Dead, can live for more than 1,200 years as a native of the plane, and he is at least a legendary lich. Zhu Peng told everything he knew, and at the same time vaguely explained the origin of his essentia energy.

"I also vaguely gathered some information before, it seems that the necromantic spy wizard was attacked by Esso when he was reincarnated in the black necromantic plane, and most of them died directly, and Chrissy escaped by luck, so weak that she parasitized and recovered on Annina, but you forcibly killed her...... All in all, in this plane battle, the necromantic system has basically been wiped out, and even if one or two people are lucky enough to escape, it will not be enough to pick up a bargain behind us, so Lord Gandalf will give the order to snipe at the Silver Moon plane, and by extension, everything will make sense. Hathaway muttered, and then, the burning flames on the four corners of the pentagram perimeter disappeared one by one, and the void fell into a dark silence again.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Peng continued to lead his army to complete the tavern mission, although Leila was already a second-order official wizard, but from the southern kingdom of Rodok all the way to Jerbo Fort, it was normal to consume two or three days on the way, Zhu Peng was not in a hurry to go back to join it at present, first knock out the cemetery near Mazan Village, and see if he could make something valuable.

Things like gold, silver, and precious stones are considered rare treasures in the continent of Calradia.

After Zhu Peng found several relatively advanced sea ship design drawings from the memory palace, he merged and assembled several of them, and now he is mainly engaged in trade with the two cities of Sagos and Wo Guoze...... The benefits were huge, Zhu Peng obtained some gold bars and gems during the tavern mission, and after sending them to Sagoth, they were bought by the Nord royal family for a high price of 28,000 dinars, and the cargo ship carrying back the dinar was almost sunk into the sea due to the heavy load.

The trade in treasures is one aspect, and the trade in ordinary production and daily necessities is also surprisingly profitable.

Because of the relationship between the fog of war and the endless fantasy monsters, the business of the carriage and horse-drawn horses has undoubtedly been greatly affected, and Sagoth and Woguo, as the giant cities of Nord, one is the royal capital, and the other is the coastal economic center, which has been greatly impacted.

As for making war money, relying on the tyrannized nobles to earn a temporary windfall income is not the right way after all, and it will take about three or five years for the Karst family to monopolize the profits of coastal transportation before people will notice the amazing profits and follow suit. However, it was enough for Zhu Peng, and the nutrients of the coastal trade that gradually expanded in three or five years were enough for him to establish a strong military system and devote himself to the struggle for hegemony on the mainland.

And as long as Zhu Peng performs well in this game of divine chess, after he leaves, the Custer family will naturally be able to prosper for a long time, and whether they still master this chain of interests at that time is not very important.

............

The evening breeze blows, and the fallen leaves are quiet and beautiful.

Whether it was a pale skeleton, a bloated green-skinned carrion, or a pale blue illusory ghost, they were not noisy existences, until the breath of the living passed with the wind, the exuberant soul fire in the skeleton's eyes, the distorted facial muscles of the carrion, and the pale blue ghost seemed to burn with light around the body.

These deceased, who are detained in the human world, have a strong instinctive hostility towards all the living.

"Cavalry charged, infantry lined up, bows and arrows prepared...... Shoot!"

Zhu Peng rode on the back of a heavily armored horse and sang in a low voice. He originally liked horses that could not be ridden without armor, but although horses without armor ran fast on the battlefield, they were still too easy to die after all.

And beside him lies a terrifying three-headed beast: the Hell's Three-Headed Flame Hound!

It followed Zhu Peng's side as a loyal guard, its miserable white fangs, the terrifying orange-red flames around it, and its steely muscles all symbolized its powerful fighting ability.

This loyal three-headed demon dog is almost about to become the symbol of the Custer family, and those newly recruited Cerberus are used by Zhu Peng more for prison guards and city patrols, compared to the too tragic battlefield, Cerberus is still more valuable in prison defense and patrol deterrence.

As the patrol of Fort Jerber led the Cerberus to patrol the defense, the inhabitants of the castle gradually adapted to the life in the territory, and saw it as a symbol of the strength of the leader.

The twenty-two freelancers brought out this time rumbled like thunder towards the skeletons, carrion, and ghosts that pounced on them...... After the battle of ambushing the valley, five horsemen were killed and three were wounded, but two months have passed, and the wounded three horsemen have recovered, and a team of seven free knights actually appeared in the fifth-level tavern again, Zhu Peng took out five thousand dinars to recruit seven of them while feeling distressed.

The twenty freelancers who were obtained by the "Dark Chief" did not spend money to surrender to allegiance, but actually recruited in the tavern, which was not only small in number, but also ridiculously expensive.

However, Zhu Peng still gritted his teeth and recruited, because the number of knights was insufficient, it was difficult to exert the terrifying power of heavy cavalry charge, and the battle in the ambush valley that day could be won, and the twenty free knights could be said to have made great contributions, such a decisive battle type of ace troops, as long as there was money in hand, they naturally had to recruit.

At this moment, the Free Knights also showed their terrifying combat ability worthy of their high price, and the undead who poured out of the cemetery in front of them were completely unable to hinder the sharp edge of the Heavy Knights' charge, and after first charging with a cavalry spear to put down a piece, these knights smoothly pulled out their two-handed long swords at their waists, swung left and right to slash, and rushed out like riding the wind and waves, and the low-level skeletons and carrion warriors were completely crushed when they touched it.

Only when attacking those light blue ghosts, the sharp long sword would sometimes slash through the illusory body but did not cause damage, but the freelancer body entangled by the ghost stiffened, and his movements were obviously a little sluggish, but they finally succeeded in breaking the formation and rode away.

The undead legions chased for a moment but couldn't catch up at all, turned their heads and pounced on the main formation on Zhu Peng's side again, and at this moment, with the cavalry gaining time, the infantry and archers were already lined up.

Zhu Peng's infantry and cavalry have suffered huge losses, but the archers have been well protected after the battle of the attack and defense of Fort Jerbor, after two months of recuperation and recruitment, it has expanded to fifty people, and the moment the cavalry charges, it began to tilt the rain of arrows, and when the scattered undead army gave up the free knights who could not catch up with the breakthrough and could not catch up, the fifty archers had already poured out at least two waves of arrow rain.

Large swaths of skeletal warriors and rotting corpses fell under the dense projectile of the Vigian archers, except for the pale blue ghosts that flickered in the rain of arrows, but very few were destroyed by this.

The tide of wraiths swooped down at a speed slightly inferior to the cavalry, and thirty infantry led by Nabal were already in formation, waiting for the enemy to charge, although facing an opponent they had never seen before, but under the leadership of Lord Rhodes and the infantry leader Nabal, these infantry at least maintained a strong fighting morale.

In the face of the undead legion, it is extremely important to keep morale stable or even high, because the best thing the undead legion is to fight a war of attrition, the undead legion does not have a morale problem, under the command of the caster behind them, they can fight until the last soldier, and the living legion cannot have such a psychological quality, so from any point of view, the undead legion cannot afford to fight, and it must be resolved quickly.

These thoughts flashed in Zhu Peng's mind, before the light blue ghost wave really surged up, he waved his hand, and stood behind the thirty infantrymen, and the twenty red-robed priests in front of the fifty Vigia archers suddenly levitated, they waved the scepter in their hands in mid-air, and a large sea of blazing high-temperature fire burned violently in front of the infantry on the side, and those ghosts that rushed at high speed were unavoidable at all, or they did not have the consciousness to retreat, and they continued to plunge into the sea of fire one after another.

Fallen Priest: A level 5 non-upgraded class in the lower plane, with good attack ability, but slightly weaker blood, defense, and speed, and can be used for long-range attacks.

Traits: Furnace Flame, summons negative energy flames to burn a large area of enemy forces. The disadvantage is that the skill channel takes too long, requires the commander to accurately predict, and the cooldown time is too long.

These twenty fifth-level fallen priests are the reward troops that Zhu Peng only obtained at the end of a series of tasks in the tavern, although they didn't spend money, but just by constantly taking on tasks, they consumed five points of essentia energy.

However, the strength of these twenty fallen priests is really ferocious, not only is the strength of foot combat not inferior to the average level 5 infantry, but the characteristic "furnace flame" can burn a sea of high-temperature fire, and it is hard to come out of that flame, I am afraid that even the twenty-two level 6 freelancers under Zhu Peng's command will have to pay the price of being burned most of them, and the last three or five people who barely rush out will also be beaten to death by twenty fallen priests who are not weak in melee combat.

And they are level 5 unupgraded troops, which means that after enough wars and killings, they have the possibility of further strengthening. In the end, since the Fallen Priest is a demonic class belonging to the same lower plane as Cerberus, Zhu Peng will include them in the team, and there will be no further superimposed morale reduction.
