The edge of a dark forest.

Fang Yuan quickly circled a location on the map.

"Right here."

Lilith next to her leaned over to check it for a moment and said.

"The straight line is less than half an hour away from us."

"Considering the terrain in the forest, it can be reached in a maximum of forty minutes."

Fang Yuan nodded and then said.

"A few Plantagenet guardian knights have been found."

"But it's a bit of a problem to get them to tell the truth."

This made Lilith a little baffled.

"Is there anything else going on?"

Fang Yuan nodded.

Xuan recounted the information that had just been reported by the Windranger.

"According to the news from Vannas."

"They were at the outermost watchtower from Plantagenet Castle, and they stopped the guardian knights who were going back to report the news."

"In the course of the fight, the guards of the Plantagenet Perimeter Tower were alarmed."

"As a last resort, Vannas had no choice but to kill all the guards."

"And then camouflaged the traces of an orc attack."

"It's just that these have been seen by a few Plantagenet Guardian Knights."

"They decided that Vurnas was an enemy."

"He has refused to surrender to her, and at the same time he is no longer providing any information."

That's the reason for hearing.

Lilith said after a few moments.

"I didn't expect this kind of accident."

"But the lord doesn't need to worry."

"Have you forgotten the skill camouflage of Vanas?"

When I heard Lilith mention the name of this skill.

Fang Yuan immediately knew what she wanted to say.

"You mean to say!"

"Have Vannas disguise themselves as members of the Plantagenets?"

Lilith nodded.

"Not bad."

"Let's just arrange for someone to play a play."

"The man who sent the Purple Moon Mercenaries pretended to attack the Windranger."

"Then let Vannas disguise herself as a guard of the Plantagenets."

"Then send soldiers to chase after them."

"At the moment of life and death, these guardian knights have no choice between life and death."

"Will definitely choose to divulge the intelligence to Vanas."

"Then the information will not be available."

When Fang Yuan heard this plan, he couldn't help but clap his hands and say.

"Absolutely!"

He immediately looked at Lilith and said.

"How did you come up with this plan?"

"Is it !!?"

Lilith shrugged.

"In the era of civilization in the Old World, the Magic Empire was the conqueror, conquering not only the Old World, but also other planes."

"Of course, the enemy is indispensable."

"And as a magician who makes up the Magic Empire, if you are too stupid to see through the trap, you will basically not live for long."

"Even a gifted magician has a bad mind."

"It will also be abandoned."

"So in the courses of many magic academies, in addition to learning the necessary magical knowledge, you also have to learn how to survive."

"In the language of the world in which the lord lives, it is political science and social science."

"And this course not only teaches how to avoid all kinds of dangers and traps."

"I'll also invite some mercenaries to teach how to take advantage of enemy weaknesses and so on."

"So in the era of the Old World, every magician who grew up to be able to enter the Law God City."

"None of them are pure little sheep."

"On the surface, it may seem harmless to humans and animals."

"In fact, it's already a lot of blood debt."

"There was a time when there were rumors in the Old World."

"If you don't kill more than a thousand people, you are not qualified to be called a magician."

Fang Yuan heard Lilith's words.

Said in surprise.

"Lilith, you've once again refreshed my perception of magicians."

"I thought they were just a bunch of crispy skins who only put their skills."

"Later I thought they were gentlemen who studied magic."

"Now I know that these are a group of murderous demons!"

Lilith chuckled softly.

"Magic cannot be defined, and neither can magicians."

"Not all magicians are like that."

"At least not those magicians who are not qualified to enter the Law God City."

"They are indeed a group of gentlemen who are obsessed with the study of magic, as the Lord thinks."

"It's just that it's all low-level magic."

"And it doesn't last long."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan asked curiously.

"Why?"

Lilith said lightly.

"The strength is too poor."

"The magic itself has a very destructive effect on the mage's body."

"Only when a magician continues to practice meditation and improve his own strength can he resist the destruction of his body by magic power."

"And if you want to keep improving, you must enter the Law God City."

"Only in the Dharma God City can you get enough time to refine your cultivation and resist the damage to your body by magic when your strength is stagnant."

"When you study outside, it's easy for strength to come to a standstill."

"Once the strength stagnates, then the physical damage caused by constantly studying magic and unleashing magic will explode."

"In the end, the mage who is corrupted by the magic will either turn into a monster or explode and die on his own."

"Law God City, the Magic Empire."

"In the end, it's just ~"

Speaking of which.

Lilith shook her head again.

"It's all old."

"Your Excellency, let's hurry up and arrange personnel to get information."

Seeing that Lilith didn't seem to want to go on.

Fang Yuan didn't ask more.

With a slight nod, he found a Windranger and told him about the plan.

Let him tell Vannas about his plans.

Be prepared in advance.

Then he personally selected a part of the Purple Moon mercenaries from the auxiliary legion to go to the forest.

And just after arranging these things.

There was the sound of horses' hooves outside the dark forest.

Then a vigilant dragon hunter came to report.

"Your Lord."

"Mistress Brennie is back."

Fang Yuan looked out of the dense forest.

Sure enough, I saw Brennie return with the Demon Knight.

Soon they were in the forest.

Brennie walked over to Fang Yuan and said.

"Your Lord."

"The orc pikemen have all been wiped out."

"Before the elimination, the orc pikemen sent out a distress signal."

"But I've sent a hundred demon knights in a southwesterly direction."

"Judging by the time."

"Now the orcs have almost discovered the battlefield."

"A hundred Demon Knights will definitely be found next."

"They will inevitably be led to Plantagenet Castle."

I am still very relieved about Brayney Fangyuan.

"That's a good job."

"Now wait for the Vannas side to get the information, and we can go north."

"Brennie, you're now taking over all the legions."

"Take back all the reconnaissance units we sent out."

"Don't leave people on the prairie."

"So as not to be discovered by the orcs."

"Now our main task is to find the Duke of Plantagenet."

"The rest will wait until the main quest is completed!"

"Yes!"

After Breney left, Fang Yuan immediately heard the sound of the lord's seal.

"Ding, kill 8,000 orc red products eighth-order spear infantry, and you get the red battlefield treasure chest *8."

Look at the eight treasure chests floating in front of you.

Fang Yuanxin said: "It's just right. ”

"Take advantage of this time to open the treasure chest."

His mind flickered.

Eight treasure chests were opened one after the other.

"Ding, you have successfully opened the battlefield chest, and you have gained Gondor Reputation *500."

"Ding, you have successfully opened the battlefield chest, and you have gained Gondor Reputation *300."

"Ding, you have successfully opened the battlefield chest, and you have gained Gondor Reputation*1000."

Wait for the eight Red Battlefield Chests to be opened.

Boy.

Nothing but prestige.

And the number of prestige is not much.

Eight chests add up to 2,500 Kingdom Fame.

Only half the size of the orange chest.

Fang Yuan said secretly: "Maybe this is the normal state of ordinary battlefield treasure chests. ”

"It's orange or above to make something good."

And just as he sighed.

A voice came from the dark forest.

Immediately afterward, Fang Yuan saw several Plantagenet Clan's guardian knights running towards him under the escort of the Purple Moon mercenaries.

"Quick, we've got our reinforcements there."

Wait until you get closer.

Several Guardian Knights had already arrived.

And when they saw themselves, they shouted in surprise.

"It's your own people!"

Just when Fang Yuan was puzzled.

I heard the Guardian Knight speak.

"Your Excellency."

"We are the guardian knights of His Excellency Duke Plantagenet."

"The king was defeated in the steppe."

"The Guardian Knights of the Plantagenet Family have all been wiped out."

"His Excellency Duke Plantagenet was killed in battle."

"Knight Thorne hid his body in the Dark Forest."

"But after entering the dense forest, I was attacked by monsters."

"We need your help to save the bodies of the Knight of Thorne and the Duke from the hands of the demons."

They just finished speaking.

Fang Yuan heard the prompt sound again.

"Ding, you have 500 Plantagenet Camp reputation, and you can currently get the commission of the new mission Guardian Knight."

"Ding, do you want to take the task?"

I didn't expect this kind of benefit.

This kind of task is really a rabbit in the grass.

The main line is overlaid with branches.

Is this what prestige is for?

Fang Yuan's heart was already firm, and he wanted to gain more prestige in the future.

Immediately, he unceremoniously chose "Yes." ”

"Ding, the quest is successful, and you will get a reward after completing the quest."

And with the success of the task pick-up.

Several of the Plantagenet Family's guardian knights couldn't wait.

"Please follow us."

To avoid suspicion from several guardian knights.

Fang Yuan asked Vannas to take the Windranger to the periphery to reconnoiter and open the way first.

A portion of the Purple Mercenary's scout units followed.

Demon knights and flame mages are the main force to protect themselves.

The remaining greatsword infantry and the Tower Shield Legion walked at the rear.

Dragon hunters glide among the trees.

No flying units are guaranteed to get close.

Because of the large number of troops and the fact that they are in the forest, they are relatively slow.

After spending the night in the dark forest.

It was not until the early morning of the next day that we finally arrived at our destination.

"Your Excellency, please see."

"Walk through that small hill to the place where the Duke and the Knight of Thorne were killed."

"We were defeated from the battlefield before."

"Chased by a group of orcs."

"We fought and retreated into the jungle."

"As a result, he was ambushed by the orcs here."

"The duke's manpower fights the orc powerhouse, and in the end, they all die."

"Then the Knight of Thorne led us into the depths of the dark forest."

"Prepare to hide here."

"At that time, the Thorne Knight told us that there were goblins around us who had spotted us."

"Let's go south first and seek rescue from Plantagenet Castle while the goblins are not yet surrounded."

"And he guards the body of the Duke and waits for rescue."

"From the time plan, they should have been discovered by the goblins by now."

"And the goblin habit, after catching a human, will be dragged into the nest."

"Now they're afraid they're already in the goblins' lair."

Fang Yuan nodded, and immediately raised his hand.

"Stop moving."

"Tell the reconnaissance unit ahead."

"Immediately launch an investigation and report information on the vicinity."

It didn't take long for the order to be given.

Still in disguise, Vannas ran back.

"Your Lord."

"It's been found out ahead."

"Only three monster lairs have been found."

"A goblin, a bear goblin, and an eyer's lair."

"No other discoveries."

"The dragon I saw before doesn't seem to be here."

"Besides, the Duke of Plantagenet and the Knight of Thorne have not found any trace of them."

"It should be in the lair."

"Just now I wanted to use my camouflage skills to enter the lair to scout."

"I found that outside these nests, there are camp reconnaissance aura."

"If you get close, you'll be noticed."

"I'm guessing it's the dragon's arrangement."

"Maybe the dragon is hiding in a lair."

"Do you want to attack these three lairs at once?"

Fang Yuan was about to nod.

At this time, Lilith on the side said.

"Earlier intelligence from Vanas's reconnaissance indicates that there are dragons here."

"No dragon's nest has been detected right now."

"And if the dragon is in the lair, if the whole army presses it."

"Once the dragon appears, our few soldiers and horses will suffer heavy losses."

"Before you know the exact location of the dragon."

"Your Excellency, don't press all your forces for the time being."

This reminder is timely.

He thought for a moment and then said.

"Bryney."

"Dispatch the greatsword infantry and tower shield infantry from behind."

"Send another 100 Purple Moon mercenaries to accompany you."

Breney said.

"Lord Lord, this number of people attacking three monster lairs is too small."

Fang Yuan thought about it.

Then he looked at Lilith.

"How much mana has been restored to the 500 mages who didn't have mana before?"

Lilith replied quickly.

"About 1/3."

"With this bit of magic, each person can summon a fire element."

"You can't let go of the war spell, because it doesn't consume all the mana."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan interrupted her and said.

"That's enough."

"Five hundred fire elementals, plus other units."

"It's not a big problem to push a few low-level demon nests sideways."

"Just use them to test if the dragon is there."

"Brainey!"

"Just use this plan!"

"Dispatch the Legion."

"Order them to attack immediately!"

"Yes!"
