Just as Rocks said, the stronghold was full of Valkyrie Principality’s eyes and ears, and naturally they would not let go of the news of Zhan’s return, so soon the news was conveyed to the Valkyrie Principality stationed in the rear.

In the hands of the commander of the ** team.

This guy is actually back?!

Looking at the information in front of him, Pande sighed helplessly. Although the entire Valkyrie Principality's upper echelons hated Zhan En, they must demand that he be captured and brought to justice, even if he was killed directly, it didn't matter. He wanted to see his body alive and dead.

But for the real front-line soldiers, they are actually not very willing to mess with this evil star. If nothing else, Zhan En's previous brutal killing was really frightening. An entire establishment of the Guards was killed by him.

There were less than ten people left, and even a strong man of Gustav's level fell to the ground and turned into a pile of meat. The nobles in Valkyrie were shouting happily enough, they

I don’t even think about it, even Gustav, the strongest person in the Valkyrie Principality, was finished. Aren’t guys like me, who are not even legendary, just delivering food to each other?

Because of this, the soldiers of the Valkyrie Army who were actually responsible for guarding the portal were actually very reluctant to meet the evil star. At that time, Zhan killed so many people, and there were also paladins and mercenaries present.

, In addition, those who later processed the corpses of those soldiers were all members of the Valkyrie Principality, so of course they knew how miserable the conditions inside were. They collected more than two hundred corpses, but surprisingly not a single whole corpse was found.

The corpses were all missing arms and legs, and the neat incisions showed that they were not broken by smashing, but cut off.

This alone was enough to make the soldiers tremble in horror. Death without a body was simply the most horrific punishment. They could not imagine the pain in which their colleagues died.

Moreover, the relationship between Valkyrie Principality and Zhan is completely personal. Zhan did not invade their country, nor did he kill their relatives. Even if there was a conflict, it was the nobles who provoked it first. In this case, these soldiers must

No one would be willing to die for the meaningless self-esteem of the nobles. Before, those guards were just red-blooded, but after the few survivors came to their senses, almost all of them had a mental breakdown and turned into lunatics.

.In this case, they naturally do not want to provoke Zhan En.

Originally, Pande thought, it would be best if the two sides could continue to be in this stalemate. As long as the temple left here, he would just have to show off. Maybe the young man had died in the Underdark?

But it's a pity that it seems that Pandor's prayer had no effect at all. Zhan just walked out from the depths of the Underdark in such a swagger, and then came here. And those nobles must have reacted to this

, is it not you who is unlucky in the end?

Criticisms remain slanders, complaints remain complaints, but things still need to be done.

In desperation, Pande just had to bite the bullet and lead hundreds of elite soldiers to the temple stronghold. Although the soldiers were reluctant in every way, the orders from above could only be carried out, even if they risked death. But Pande had already

I thought about it, although as a soldier, I have to carry out the orders above, but if the temple overreacts and the young man really goes on a killing spree, then I can withdraw the soldiers again. Then those nobles will ask

Let's just say it's not that we don't work hard, it's that the other party is too powerful - as for the remaining problems, let those nobles have a headache.

The portal was not far from the stronghold, and everyone arrived outside the stronghold without much effort. However, at this moment, Pande was still hesitant about what to do. If he broke in like this, it would definitely be a big mistake.

It's inappropriate. If the Holy Church wants to stop him, the guy will escape again in just a moment. At that time, the higher-ups will only blame him for his inability to catch him, and will not think that the other party is too strong. But...

…

"grown ups!"

At this moment, a young man who looked like a mercenary quietly emerged from the shadows next to him. Seeing his appearance, Pan De immediately perked up. This man who looked like a mercenary

The young man was the spy sent by Pande to the stronghold, responsible for monitoring Zhan's actions. Now it seems that the other party has responded.

"How's the situation? Where is that guy?"

"Just now, he left with a group of paladins and Lord Rocks!"

"Damn it!"

Hearing this, Pande couldn't help but secretly cursed. If Zhan and Rocks were mixed together, then they really had no choice. They couldn't just rush to Rocks' side. That wouldn't mean starting a war with the temple directly.

?I didn’t expect this guy to be so cunning... I don’t know where they went now. If they just entered the Underdark Area rashly...

Pan De sank down, frowned and thought for a moment, and then asked.

"Any other news?"

"Other news... By the way, we found one of the women following him! It's the mage!"

"Female mage?"

Facing this news, Pan De couldn't help but a flash of light flashed in his eyes. He remembered clearly that in the information about Zhan En, it was indeed mentioned that he had two female followers. Among them was a mid-level mage and a little girl.

.And now, when he heard that the female mage was there, Pande immediately cheered up. Indeed, he couldn't deal with a strong man of the legendary level. But it was still no problem for a mid-level mage! As long as he could defeat her, capture

Live her and take her back. Then those nobles will definitely smile. There is a female mage, and a beautiful female mage...Pande has already realized what a good opportunity this is.

"Where is she?!"

"She's outside in the tunnel."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Pan De was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that the female mage would follow Zhan En, or be in the stronghold. But he didn't expect that she would be alone in the tunnel, which was a big problem for him.

What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The entourage has just reported that Zhan and Rocks left with the Paladins, and they probably won't be able to come back for a while. Only the female mage is left, and the stronghold is now guarding nothing. Those mercenaries

It is impossible to fight against the nobles, this is the best time!

Thinking of this, Pan De suddenly became energetic.

"Let's go! Go and capture that female mage!!"

Under the leadership of Pande, hundreds of soldiers immediately rushed into the stronghold without hesitation. What surprised them was that not even a single defensive person was left in the entire stronghold, not to mention the Paladins.

Even the mercenaries had left and disappeared somewhere. Only a few guards were left here to take care of them. When they saw so many soldiers coming, the guards were shocked and hurriedly

He stepped forward to ask. However, Pan De was not in the mood to care about these guards. He pushed them away and looked around for traces of the female mage. Soon, he discovered the traces of the other party - this was not because of Pan De

How perceptive, but because a girl wearing a lace cloak and dressed like a lady is simply rare in the Underdark. In just a blink of an eye, Pande discovered the person heading towards the other side from the entrance of the passage.

Elise walks away.

"Do it!"

Without any hesitation, Pande immediately issued the order. And after hearing his words, the soldiers did not hesitate. Soon they saw several soldiers holding crossbows flying out of them, aiming at the pretty figure in the distance.

Then he fired the crossbow arrow in his hand.

Along with the sound of whistling through the air, several crossbow arrows were shot towards Elise quickly. The girl who noticed these crossbow arrows was obviously shocked, but she was a high-level mage after all, and she had protection around her at all times.

A bright red halo of light flashed around Elise, and the next moment the crossbow arrows flying towards her were blocked by invisible barriers.

"Go! Catch her!!"

Pande was naturally mentally prepared for this, so Elise's reaction was not beyond his imagination. The reason why he launched a surprise attack on Elise from the beginning was to prevent her from reciting the incantation. For

As far as Pandor is concerned, a mid-level mage is much easier to deal with than a legendary warrior, because mages only rely on spells. As long as the spells are used up, they are no different from useless people. Compared to warriors, they are much easier to deal with.

Seeing those soldiers rushing towards her, Elise also showed a panicked expression, and then she flashed and ran towards the depths of the passage.

"Go on, we must catch her! Don't let her escape!!"

Seeing the girl running away, Pande immediately gave the order, and then the soldiers rushed down the mountain towards Elise like tigers.

If it were on the surface, then Pan Deda could capture him by surrounding him from all sides. But the problem is that this is underground, and the unique characteristics of narrow encounters in underground passages make it impossible for them to block every gap along the passage -

——Not to mention that humans have no idea where these passages lead. So in desperation, Pande had no choice but to attack head-on. After all, a girl cannot run as fast as a well-trained warrior. As long as she is not cast a spell.

chance, then that girl is not much of a threat to them.

Pande's idea is good, but the problem is that Elise is not an ordinary human girl. Her half-vampire physique makes her several times stronger than humans in this aspect. Whether it is speed or strength, humans cannot match it.

of.

However, facing Pande's arrest at this moment, Elise seemed a little panicked. She ran around in the passage almost at a loss, trying to get rid of the pursuers behind her. But Pande bit Elise.

They didn't let her go, and didn't let her get away at all. But just when they were about to catch up with Elise, they found that the girl suddenly turned around and ran into a nearby passage. Seeing this scene, Pan De was even more excited.

He hurriedly led the soldiers into the passage and continued to chase in the direction of Elise.

The entire passage seemed dark and long, but after several pursuits, Pande had become accustomed to the environment in the Underdark. He led the soldiers forward step by step. Soon, they heard something not far away.

There was a rush of footsteps coming from everywhere, this must be the girl's voice.

"Everyone, rush forward!!"

Hearing the footsteps, Pan De became more and more excited. He immediately raised the torch and rushed into the passage in front of him in the direction of the sound. But the next moment, Pan De's originally proud expression suddenly became different.

stand up.

What he saw in front of him was no longer the dark and narrow tunnels before, but a wide space that looked like a square. There were low buildings carved out of rock everywhere. Looking around

Go, Elise can no longer be seen at this moment, the girl seems to have completely disappeared into it, without a trace.

This is……………

Before Pande and his soldiers could react, they heard a roar, and the next moment, the gray dwarf army appeared in front of them as if they had emerged from the ground.
