Chapter 880: Chapter 880: Undead Mage Invades the City
Long before coming here, Zhao Guang had already had people investigate the intelligence of this place.
After all, spending so much money to set up an intelligence departnt wasn’t for nothing; it had to have so use.
Even though the ti was short and they could only gather so superficial information, those were exactly the kind of information Zhao Guang wanted. For instance, how the local noble lords were behaving, what kind of reputation they had, and so on.
“Very well, this is the place.” Zhao Guang looked at a city in front of him.
This is the largest city in this territory, one could even say it’s the only city.
If one only looked at this city, they would surely think the place is bustling, perhaps even comnd the lord for excellent governance. But Zhao Guang knew that this was all the result of plunder.
The lord of this place, generation after generation, Keroro, had always advocated for a bandit ntality, and the entire army of the territory was no different from bandits.
Internally, they plundered all the citizens, concentrating all their wealth to sustain this single city, which created this façade of prosperity, while their people were left with nothing.
Subsequently, those impoverished citizens were transford into a bandit army to carry out external raids.
It’s not just other countries they attacked, other territories were not spared either.
This practice allowed them to grow and expand, even becoming a real power among the noble marquis families in the south.
Luckily, this country was a Martial Arts Country, and their tolerance for such people was quite high. As long as those in power saw their strength and their ability to attack other countries, nothing else mattered.
As for anything else, they wouldn’t care.
This was also one of the reasons Zhao Guang chose this territory; attacking such a land had no moral implications for him.
He was so unconcerned that he even didn’t care about collateral damage to civilians, since there were hardly any true civilians here. By now, most who survived were so bandits, no good people remained.
Even if there were good people, especially children, they would not be near the city but in remote places.
Only those in the corners could temporarily survive, and no good people would ever co to this city.
The apparent prosperity wasn’t due to comrcial and industrial developnt, purely a result of various martial competition projects. As long as one had enough combat power, they could find a suitable place for advancent here.
As for the goods sold here, apart from weapons and various hunted animals, most were things seized by force.
During this entire domain, they produced few things of their own.
If not for military rits continually fetching supplies from the empire, this kind of territory would have perished long ago.
For people like these, Zhao Guang held them in contempt. “Next, we’ll start with you.” Yes, Zhao Guang planned to disguise himself as an Undead Mage and launch an attack.
Because they were bandits, the conflict between their territory and the Undead Mage was the greatest.
Since controlling the location of the City of Death and expanding constantly, the Undead Mages drastically reduced the areas available for plunder, and they posed a direct threat to them.
The lower-ranking Undead Mages imnsely enjoyed this kind of lawless areas, after all, capturing people to make undead wouldn’t be noticed.
Even if discovered, no one would say anything; the weak deserve no sympathy.
Hence, having Undead Mages attack this place was not surprising. Yet, amid such a domain, the presence of two Great Knights was quite unexpected.
One of them was Keroro himself, and another was soone recruited from an unknown place.
But judging by their murderous aura and Dark Power, it was clear the person was on a wanted list elsewhere.
With a thought, Zhao Guang summoned a colossal array, flashing lights as two Storm Bone Dragons erged. Upon their appearance, the surrounding Death Power and Storm Power intertwined, forming a grand aura.
“Go, destroy that place.” Zhao Guang pointed ahead and quietly cloaked himself.
Zhao Guang was certain that nobody knew this spell because he had only used it once.
Moreover, the space where the spell was cast was obliterated by him, leaving no trace behind. This, Zhao Guang confird through information from the Silver Tower.
He always avoided attracting suspicion, hence he kept his Undead Magic abilities concealed.
Unexpectedly, it was the perfect ti to use it now, letting the two Storm Bone Dragons vent properly.
If no one thought of the Undead Mage, these people were truly incompetent.
A powerful Great Mage’s direct attack was tantamount to a declaration of war. The Klein Empire was akin to a powder keg, an explosive entity most suitable for such brutish tactics.
Indeed, the tactic was rather brute, but it was extrely effective.
As the Storm Bone Dragons took to the skies, the response from the bandit city’s forces was swift.
However, when they saw what they were up against, everyone was flabbergasted. The enemy not only flew but was indeed a dragon. Yes, a Bone Dragon was also a dragon; it was all the sa to regular folks.
“Not good, hurry and report to the Marquis!”
Seeing this, everyone imdiately headed back to report. Yes, everyone ran back to report.
In no ti, the city walls were deserted, not a soul remaining.
Even the archers had fled; no one wanted to stay and die. In this place of bandit residence, there were no mages because sustaining them with supplies here was difficult for long periods.
Perhaps mages would co here occasionally for transactions, but facing such circumstances, don’t expect them to stay and fight. So in a short while, the streets cleared out.
From his hidden perch in the sky, Zhao Guang watched and was equally astounded.
“Such swift reaction, such nimble escape, truly perceptive.” Zhao Guang felt a mix of amusent and frustration.
However, they couldn’t escape, how could they outrun flight? Moreover, once the storm ford, it would engulf the entire city, could they escape in such a short span?
Zhao Guang had detected escape tunnels underground, but he had discreetly blocked them.
Attempting to flee through those tunnels was a sure path to death. Presumably, soone had realized by now.
As ti passed, the storm grew more imnse, tearing off so rooftops from the ground. Only now did Keroro, the lord, finally notice.
