Because the distance is too far, no one can see the remaining durability of the Raven Dome.
Zong Shen stood quietly in place, waiting patiently. Although the expedition armyâs firepower had almost never stopped, the black shield in front of him showed no signs of being breached.
At this moment, the communication crystal on Zong Shenâs chest lit up with a communication request from Wenresa.
Zong Shen decisively chose to connect, and Wenresaâs slightly urgent voice came from the other end of the communication crystal.
"Sir, a squad-sized cavalry is marching at full speed from the east."
"It seems like they are coming from the vicinity of Boss Bang."
"Iâve already moved the troops two kilometers north to avoid direct contact with them."
"They are focused on traveling and moving fast, having already passed the spot where we previously stayed. I fear theyâll reach the front soon."
Upon hearing this, Zong Shen immediately understood and quickly waved his hand, leading the Wolf Cavalry and Lancer Cavalry north.
"I understand, what you did was right. Before the situation becomes clear, the rear troops indeed need to avoid contact with both forces. Your task is to wait for the right moment to strike."
"Iâll also lead my people away for now."
After saying this, Zong Shen hung up the communication crystal, mounted Pigsy, and galloped at full speed to hide behind a small grove one or two kilometers north.
Though the area is mostly flat grassland, there are numerous small groves scattered across the entire prairie.
Zong Shen hid behind a tree, secretly observing the place, soon spotting a grand cavalry coming from the east, passing south of Odu Village, bypassing it, and heading to the temporary base of the Giant City expedition army in the west.
The armament of these knights was evidently inferior to the fourth-tier heavy cavalry, likely belonging to the third-tier. They had a coil of chain scythes at their waists, with a cavalry straight-blade battle saber on their left side for easy drawing with the right hand.
Their left arm also carried a small round leather shield, which wasnât large but was sufficient to defend against some remote attacks targeting vital points.
"This far-form expedition army even sought aid from local forces."
Hiding behind the tree, Zong Shen watched the cavalry depart, realizing the expedition army seemed more prudent than heâd imagined, even calling for reinforcements against the well-prepared Church Heretics.
Previously, Zong Shen assumed the Kingdomâs expedition army, having traveled from afar, would launch a prompt full-scale attack on Odu Village.
So he estimated the time, allowing everyone to rest and redeem their point rewards before coming over.
Thought heâd witness Odu Village plunged into a fervent battle upon arrival, but it turned out he was early.
The conflicts and frictions among Indigenous People forces indeed had some depth.
The strategic wisdom of the Indigenous People was also higher than he imagined.
Their major difference with the Lords still laid in their understanding of the world and the Lord System.
After the reinforcements departed, Zong Shen emerged from the forest, his mind becoming more active, formulating some bolder ideas.
He had five Transformation Potions left, which could maintain mimetic transformation for up to two and a half hours. At the right moment, he could completely transform into the form he had when infiltrated Odu Village and join the Giant City expedition army with the Immortal Gun Cavalry.
Then, when the timing was right, he would transform into Saintess Shafuri to the Burrow Frontline and obtain the Wandering Soul of the Fear Demon King.
His past infiltration into Odu Village had already proven the effect of the Transformation Potion was almost indistinguishable to the Indigenous People.
Except for some detection system magic, no one could see through it, not even Saintess Shafuri back then.
After all, it was an Excellent Level tool and had some efficacy.
By the time both sides engaged fully, no one would have the leisure to notice him.
Of course, specific operations would depend on the circumstances, but this idea was undoubtedly correct.
If executed properly, the risk would be much smaller compared to causing chaos, and the benefits would be even greater.
Most Lords would definitely wait until the expedition army and Church Heretics started fighting, to rush into the village amid the chaos and fish in troubled waters.
After all, over a hundred Lords were eyeing Odu Village, with each Lord accompanied by 8 to 12 warriors; thatâs over a thousand people, an impressive third-party force.
Zong Shen definitely wouldnât act together with them, but he didnât mind the intervention of these Lord forces; it could make the situation even more chaotic, and he aimed to be the fourth competing force among three.
As for the present, Zong Shenâs task remained to wait for the right moment to strike.
He watched the expedition armyâs offensive towards Odu Village but found it rather dull.
Then, taking advantage of the Guide Moduleâs partial functionality recovery, he started examining the specific attributes of the title and skills attached to [Arthurâs Ring of Dominion (Golden)].
