Chen Gu's vine carriage stopped early after running for more than two hours.

Chen Gu, who jumped out of the carriage, found himself on a hillside.

Right down the hill you can see the target city he is going to this time.

Level 7 city Yonghua Forest.

This level 7 city was originally the wood center of the Elven Realm.

The reason why it is called Yonghua Forest is entirely because the whole city is hidden in the woods.

Every day, large quantities of timber are shipped out of here to every city in the Elven Realm.

But now, this Yonghua Forest is clearly occupied by the undead.

Because no one has taken care of it for a long time, the trees in the city have begun to crowd the territory of the city.

Beneath this twisted tree, lies a black city of the dead.

Chen Gu stood on the hillside, just in time to be able to see there.

This was the first time Chen Gu had seen the city of the dead.

Unlike the village occupied by Chen Gu before, there was obvious artificial control in the city in front of him.

The undead in it are not wandering aimlessly, but are ordered to do all kinds of work diligently.

They didn't have much demand for trees, and the cities were built mainly of stone.

Chen Gu noticed that directly south of the city, there were many smoky mercury mines.

A large amount of mercury was transported out of there at all times, but where it was going, because the city was blocked by trees, Chen Gu couldn't see it clearly.

However, Chen Gu noticed that in the sky above the city, two bone dragons would fly up from time to time and hover.

This shows that the city has reached the level of a Tier 7 city.

There will be at least one Category B Corps in it.

"Detour."

Chen Gu observed for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and ordered directly.

Chen Gu had already seen that the city had been completely undead.

Although I don't know the transfer of troops in the realm of the undead, there are at least two bone dragons here.

Such an existence could not be provoked, Chen Gu glanced at the map and pointed to the location further south of the map.

"There's a level 5 city here, let's go over there."

Not long after Chen Gu left, a pure black knight army appeared on the hillside where he had just stayed.

They were all covered in heavy armor, and even their horses were covered in thick armor.

When the black knights arrived, they rolled over and dismounted.

The movement is as if it were controlled by one person.

Standing where Chen Gu stood, a heavily armored knight looked at the city below the hillside, and a buzzing sound came from his helmet.

"Someone is spying on the Mercury Castle, the Black Mercury Knights, preparing to pursue."

"Yes."

All the black-armored knights were ordered, mounted and drew their weapons.

The long knives in their hands were stained with mercury, and when the long knives were unsheathed, the mercury fell right on their gloves, staining them silvery-white.

There were a total of three hundred Black Mercury Knights.

After confirming the direction of Chen Gu's advance, they did not notify the Mercury Fort below at all, and directly sent troops.

If such a thing was known to Chen Gu, he would definitely be quite speechless.

But they did.

Because this Black Mercury Knights is the treasure army of Mercury Castle.

In the past few hundred years, the entire Mercury Fort has trained a total of 300 troops.

Among the three hundred people, in addition to one commander-in-chief, there were ten heroes, and each hero only led twenty-nine people.

And the ordinary troops among them are also the ceiling of the serious undead combat power among the undead, the level 6 death knight.

They have undergone the special enhancement of Mercury Castle, and they are still different from normal death knights, and have embarked on a different path.

【Class Attributes】

Description: This is a type of Death Knight that has undergone special enhancements, and they no longer follow the Dreadknight route, but have their own development direction.

After these Black Mercury Knights were trained, they have been guarding this Mercury Castle ever since.

Even if there was an order from the Black Castle, they were not transferred.

It can be said that the Black Mercury Knights are the core defense of the Mercury Castle.

They found out that someone was threatening the Mercury Castle, so naturally they didn't need to go back to inform the city lord.

They can go directly to battle, kill the people, and then bring them back to explain the situation to the city lord.

They've done this many times before.

This time it was the same, after discovering that Chen Gu was eyeing the Mercury Castle, the Black Mercury Knights took the initiative to attack, preparing to bring Chen Gu's head back.

Chen Gu didn't know that he was being targeted.

At this time, he was still heading in the direction of the next city.

Because he had slept for two hours, Chen Gu was now a little more energetic, so he simply sat down in the coachman's position and let the fire spirit crows go out and let them explore the way in front.

The next direction Chen Gu was going to was a level 5 city further south, recorded on the elven map, which was called the Valley of the Holy Helmet.

According to the map, there is an iron ore vein of the Elves nearby, and the entire city was built on this vein.

Because the iron ore produced here is relatively light and agile, it is more suitable for making armor, especially the armor used in the elven sword dance, most of which comes from here.

So the city is also relatively famous.

Although Chen Gu knew that there was a chance that the city would not escape the fate of being occupied by the undead.

But he always had to go over and take a look.

After all, there are several cities to the south.

If he encounters a city that has not been discovered by the undead, then he will not make money.

With such thoughts, Chen Gu was not idle for a moment, and all the fire spirit crows were sent out by him from afar.

In order to find out some information in the vicinity.

For example, elven outposts, villages that are not recorded on the map, or hordes of undead wandering in the wild.

Chen Gu doesn't have to go to these places, but he always records them on the map.

It will be useful in the future.

Just when Chen Gu was still about seventy kilometers away from the Holy Helmet Valley, Chen Gu suddenly noticed that something was not quite right behind him.

"This is the third time, every time the fire raven encounters a group of undead knights in the rear, this is not normal......"
