Chapter 407: Chapter 409: The Brute Lide, Single-Handedly Takes on the Half-Elf Main City (Part 1) (8000 words)
“Your Majesty, Liusi City is over a thousand kilometers away from Twilight City, and even if they deploy troops, it will take at least a week…”
On the walls of Twilight City, Lide’s gaze jumped to the distant horizon, while the Level 18 Half-Elf Great Mage, Mahari, reported respectfully from behind.
“If they march against us, there is one path they must take—the Dark Forest.
No matter how the troops from Liusi City march, the Dark Forest is an unavoidable point.”
“The Dark Forest?”
Lide’s eyes narrowed slightly, “What are the characteristics of the Dark Forest?”
“Your Majesty, the Dark Forest is extremely gloomy. Its trees have become withered and rigid due to the erosion of the Undead’s aura, but due to the heavy fog, they do not catch fire and have remained thus for hundreds of years.
On both sides of the Dark Forest lie vast areas of death fog, which are not only highly toxic but also teem with ghosts and Undead Life.
It is said to have formed from the fusion of a fragment from an Undead Plane from tens of thousands of years ago.
It is a place of death, where entering is extremely terrifying, and even the Extraordinary face the risk of downfall.”
Ghosts? Undead?
Why does this have something to do with the Undead again?
Lide’s brows tightened. He didn’t delve deeper into this; the Undead were not creatures to be trifled with.
His thoughts shifted back to the Half-Elves.
By normal logic, the Half-Elves, having suffered a great loss, would definitely not let matters rest. After all, he had not just turned the Black Iron Castle into Twilight City but also hunted and killed thousands of Black Beak Giant Eagles sent by them.
Having lived in the Underworld for so long, it was impossible for the Half-Elves to not have a hint of arrogance.
Any ruler of Half-Elves with a bit of sense would know that with Dawn City appearing in the Underworld and even capturing their cities, this issue would definitely not end amicably.
Indeed, Lide’s actions had blatantly informed them that Dawn City intended to vie with the Half-Elves for dominion over the Underworld.
Under this circumstance, Lide didn’t believe for a moment that the Half-Elves would endure; it would be odd if they didn’t bring their full force to annihilate this provocative group.
However, the key problem was, how he should deal with these Half-Elves, as he currently did not wish for Dawn City’s army to engage in battle with the Half-Elves.
The threat of the Black Dragon and the Naga was more urgent and formidable than that of the Half-Elves.
Seeing Lide fall silent, Mahari, after a brief contemplation, continued to speak, “Your Majesty, if we plan an ambush, the Dark Forest would be a good location.”
In his view, Lide’s questions were undoubtedly about planning to ambush the Half-Elf army en route.
But to his surprise, Lide shook his head, his eyes revealing a trace of amusement.
“Plan an ambush? No, I’m just interested in the Undead of the Dark Forest.
As for the Half-Elf army…”
His gaze sharpened, and a cold murderous intent surged out of him like an avalanche.
“I will make a trip to Liusi City to settle this problem.”
A trip to Liusi City??
Mahari’s eyes widened to the extreme upon hearing this, his heart shocked to the core.
Lide’s words were spoken lightly, but the message they conveyed sent a shiver down his spine.
Was His Majesty intending to confront the main city of the Half-Elves all by himself?
This thought arose in his mind, and Mahari felt his throat go dry.
He wasn’t very clear about the full extent of the forces within Liusi City, but the known information was—there were at least two Extraordinary beings, and possibly more hidden Extraordinary that had not yet revealed themselves.
Half-Elves, as the nominal rulers of the Underworld, had held their position steadily for years, not through blowhard claims but through solid strength that had to be acknowledged by outsiders.
“Your Highness, there are at least two Transcendent Half-Elves in Liusi City, and there might even be more powerful forces hidden… Are you sure…”
Mahari was absolutely loyal to Lide, and he always considered Lide’s interests in everything, which was why he was now braving a warning.
“Two Transcendents?”
Lide looked at Mahari with interest, “Besides those, what other forces are hidden within Liusi City?”
“This… There is said to be an aging Half-Elf Clan Leader, whose power has touched the fringes of the Legendary.
However, this old Clan Leader hasn’t appeared for a long time, and it’s rumored he has already died…” Mahari was somewhat uncertain.
“So that would be three Transcendents?”
The casual tone of Lide made Mahari start, he then responded with a bitter smile, “Yes, Your Highness, it’s very likely that the old Clan Leader is still alive.”
Three Transcendents, no wonder the Half-Elves could become the rulers of the Underworld in name; they indeed had some capability.
But Lide’s smile remained calm; three Transcendents were strong, but what of it?
