Chapter 1119: Chapter 682: Territory Battle (Middle)_1 Chapter 1119: Chapter 682: Territory Battle (Middle)_1 Under the twin moons, stars were shining brightly.
In the dense Demonic Shadow Forest, surging particles of magical energy violently broke the silence of what should have been a peaceful night.
Nearly thirty magical knights, each riding tall and mighty warhorses, were leading the way at the front, creating a path, with elite heavy cavalry surrounding them.
Between the sharp Wind Blades and scorching flames, the trees and grass that blocked their path were quickly cleared away.
Strength of these formidable magic knights had basically reached the level of Tier 3 Senior Powerhouses.
They were either themselves of high-ranking nobility or vassals of traditional nobles, each one of them being renowned figures in their respective territories.
With such powerful individuals working together to forge their own path through the forest, it was an easy task.
Of course, if any magic traps appeared, they could also promptly get rid of them.
Following closely behind the magic knights were two traditional noble armies led by the white knight.
With numerous pairs of heavy metal boots continuously rising and falling from the ground, the uniform army resembled a giant steel beast crashing through the forest in search of its prey.
âWhite Knight Lord, the territory of the Princessâs Guest Official is just ahead!â
A leather-armored scout commander appeared beside the leading White Knight and respectfully reported, âAlthough I havenât seen the true appearance of the territory, judging from the surrounding traces, Iâm absolutely certain!â
âWell done, thatâs enough.â
Riding upon his white alchemy puppet horse, the White Knight waved his hand, signaling the other party to step back.
âWhite Knight, donât you think itâs a bit strange?â
Brocade Winthrop, an illusionist, rode his brown warhorse over, furrowing his brow and said, âThe Princessâs Guest Officialâs territory canât possibly be compared to any ordinary Otherworldly Lordâs domain. It shouldnât be completely traceless even within this dense forestâŠâ
âBrocade, are you suggesting that the Princessâs Guest Official used some sort of method to conceal her territory?â
The White Knight turned his head and immediately asked, âTo conceal an entire territory would require rather powerful illusion magic. Did you sense anything?â
âNothing at all.â
Brocade shook his head and replied, âItâs simply incredible.â
He wasnât being dishonest, as he truly hadnât sensed any energy fluctuations related to illusion magic.
This only meant that the spell hiding the Guest Officialâs territory far surpassed the range of his senses.
âHow exactly did the Guest Official manage that? Could there be a Tier 5 Illusion Master hiding within his territory?â
Brocadeâs face was full of confusion, and he pondered over the matter.
âEven then, large-scale illusions capable of hiding an entire group of buildings are rather different from small-scale ones. They require immense magical power to maintain. Even if I canât break the illusion, I should have at least been able to find some clue.â
âAfter all, thanks to a certain ancient object, I control a very unique means of detecting illusions. In theory, as long as thereâs an illusionist casting spells around me, or if I get close to the range of an exquisitely crafted Illusionist Realm someone had set up earlier, I should be able to sense it.â
During Brocadeâs confusion, the White Knightâs rather disdainful voice rang out, âAt the end of the day, those are just some flashy tricks of deception. When my army arrives, all obstacles will be shattered.â
After a brief pondering, he ordered, âAlright, have them split into groups by squads to search the area thoroughly. Even if we must dig three feet into the ground, we will find the Guest Officialâs territory!â
On the other side of the enormous team, Rodrick Thompson and Krooni, upon receiving the order from the White Knight to commence a comprehensive search, could only barely suppress their sinister smiles.
Undoubtedly, if they could be the first to locate the territory of the Princessâs Guest Official, they would undoubtedly reap the rewards!
âLord Rodrick, you truly are a man blessed by the heavens!â
Krooniâs fat face was full of excitement, and he grinned, âWhen searching for the territory of the Princessâs Guest Official, thereâs no doubt that youâll be the one to find it first!â
âI can already see the Crown Princeâs admiring expression,â said the fat Rodrick, as he continued marching and directing the commanders beside him, âWhat are you waiting for? Get moving!â
âHehe, Worthy Lord Rodrick, thereâs no way a mere village under Cyan City Lordâs control can withstand the edge of your elite soldiers!â
Krooni rubbed his hands together and continued to flatter, âIâm afraid their wooden walls wonât even be able to withstand a single shot from a magic cannon, right?â
âOf course not, I drained the resources from Pinehaven City and brought out 40 Tier 1 Magic Cannons.â
The murderous intent on Rodrickâs greasy face grew more intense, and he declared, â40 Tier 1 Magic Cannons are enough to bring down a city, let alone the village under the control of Cyan City Lord. Once we invade his territory, I will personally send him into the Iron Maiden, so he can truly taste the embrace of death.â
âŠ
âLord, the White Knight has already divided his two armies into large squads and they are now approaching the territory!â
