Qin Lun quietly glanced at the death list and saw that there was a hidden plot of “Eliminating the Undead” inside. The difficulty of this mission was unknown, but given the degree of exploration of Toril’s world in the Broken Star System, it was only natural that it did not have the details of this regional mission.

The attitudes of the apostles towards this mission were very relaxed, because the basic reward for this mission in the Shattered Star Sky was very low. There were only 10,000 shattered crystals, hundreds of exchange vouchers, and a few contribution points. It was similar to the initial guidance mission that the fortress guild had carried out.

After receiving Stark’s reply, the Bonny Knights left behind two cavalry and continued to rush to the nearby guard base. The other cavalry continued to follow the mercenary corps to the Undead Valley. From this point of view, the cavalry led by Bonny were very heroic, at least they did not shrink back from their previous defeat.

“Mage Angelo, you’re not part of our mercenary corps. Why did you take such a big risk to follow us?” Philip approached the red-robed mage and asked softly.

‘”Haha, we mages can’t be promoted by working behind closed doors. It’s easier to familiarize ourselves with the spells we usually grasp in a real battle like this. Furthermore, I don’t think a mere hundred undead can break through your defenses and threaten my safety!” Angelo chuckled and touched the short hair of Apprentice El. “Besides, this kid has been learning magic from me. This is a rare opportunity to fight.”

“That makes sense, but please be more cautious when the time comes. After all, the members of our guild have never cooperated with you before.” Philip nodded in understanding and added.

“Mage Philip, please don’t worry. I’m not one of those weak academic mages.” Angelo bowed politely and then glanced into the distance. “The trainee knight of Goddess Lauvita seems to be coming with us?”

“Yes, we have advised Miss Idrya, but the followers of the painful girl seem to be harder to persuade than you!” Philip replied with a bitter smile.

“Yes, of course. If Miss Idrya’s faith is strong enough, she will probably have taken the extermination of the undead as a test.” Angelo shook his head and said, “Even in the divine war, Lauvita was aggressive, bold and fearless. Her knight naturally would not retreat in the face of danger.”

…

“Wen Hu has arrived!” Everyone looked at the sparkling lake in front of them with a faint sense of pre-war excitement in their hearts.

Ever since the apostles came out of Iron Star Castle, they had not encountered any decent battles. The Thieves on the eastern border between Tyser and Ames were too weak. Apart from endless harassment, there was no real threat at all.

Wen Lake was not very large among the many inland lakes in Ferren Continent. It was only about a quarter of Esmail Lake and a third of Naga Lake. It was even more incomparable to the Steam Lake, an inland sea the size of a kingdom.

Of course, for the Melting Snow Lake, which had the Cloud Mist Mountain Range as its upstream source, this scale was already quite decent. The two east-west rivers formed by Lake Win and Lake Esmail were the two most prosperous rivers in Amm.

As the source was the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, Wen Hu was close to the foot of the mountain and was also very close to the Twin Towers. This used to be the location of the War Axe Bridge, one of the two continental bridges built by the Sanata Dwarves.

Beneath the surface of Wen Lake’s lake core, the shadows of the piers from thousands of years ago could still be seen in some places. These windmill-sized stone mounds were like giant beasts crawling on the bottom of the water, causing people to feel terrified.

“The valley where the undead appeared is not far away. If we go around the eastern end of Wen Lake, we can see the entrance.” After arriving here, the Ames, including the Knights of Bonny, became a little nervous. Even though they had received strong support, the shadow of failure they had left behind was still like a giant boulder pressing down on their hearts.

“I’ll go scout first!” Hearing Elistine’s words, Bonny volunteered to explore the road.

“Don’t send druids. The sky above that valley is filled with poisonous miasma. I can’t see what’s going on inside. I can only enter from the ground.” Bonny waved his hand to stop the eager Elistine. He didn’t want to lose his men before the war started.

“Miasma? Will it affect the next battle?” Stark frowned and looked at Bonny with some dissatisfaction. The heavily armored knight had not mentioned this situation before.

“It doesn’t matter. The miasma is lighter than the air and floats above the valley. Apart from the poor light, it doesn’t affect our battle with the undead.” Bonny shook his head cautiously. “However, you have to pay attention to the complicated terrain of this valley. The rocks circling around it are several people tall. It is simply a stone formation. You must always pay attention to the situation around you and not be ambushed by the undead.”

“Knight Bonny, did you enter the innermost part of the valley when you came here earlier?” Stark asked cautiously.

‘”No, I had some cavalry store their horses at the entrance of the valley and walk into the valley as the vanguard of the team. We were surrounded by the undead not long after we entered. Fortunately, we didn’t lose all our horses, so we were able to break out of the encirclement in the end.” Angelo sighed. His expression was very ugly. He must have thought of his comrades who had fallen into the valley.

Bypassing the eastern end of Wen Lake, everyone saw the Undead Valley that Bonny spoke of. The entrance to the valley was very small, only enough for three horses to enter side by side. Just as the heavily armored knight had said, the terrain in the valley was complicated. It was only ten meters away, and his line of sight was blocked by the rocks. He could not see the situation inside clearly.

The entire valley was incomparably silent, not even the cries of insects and birds could be heard. It was like a lifeless grave.

Looking at the valley, Qin Lun frowned slightly. This was the first time his [Gannettes’ Left Eye] had failed, and he was unable to see through the situation inside the valley. In the black and white retina, there was only a layer of gray mist.

“Longer, I’ll leave it to you and Perth!” Stark looked at Robin and waved to the two thieves. Perth was a lost beginner apostle, and since the two teams worked together, the ground reconnaissance work was basically done by the two of them.

Long Er grinned and exchanged glances with another thief. He waved the black cloak behind him and disappeared in front of everyone.

After a long time, the expressions of the apostles waiting outside the valley suddenly changed, and they all pounced towards the valley entrance from their horses.

“What’s the matter?” Bonny was shocked and jumped off his horse, chasing after Stark.

“We’ll talk about it later!” Stark didn’t have time to explain, so he jumped into the valley. However, as the MT in the team, his speed wasn’t fast. At least Kelly had already taken the lead in entering the valley.

“What happened to them?” Elistine and Milleras, who were standing beside Qin Lun, were confused.

“The Thieves of the Mercenary Group have a special way of contacting Commander Robin and the others. Longer and Perth seem to be in trouble!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he smiled and comforted, “However, don’t worry, they won’t be in danger for the time being.”

Milleras asked worriedly, “Should we go in now?” The Sun Elf Prince was not afraid of death. He was burdened with a heavy burden. To him, death was also a luxury.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s not like you don’t know their strength. As long as there aren’t more than two Legendary Professions, these undead won’t be able to harm us!” Qin Lun smiled indifferently.

Strongholds and Losses were combined teams that sacrificed individual performance and tended to fight in groups. Apart from Kelly and the others, who were unable to cooperate because of the huge difference in strength, after such a long period of time, the others were becoming more and more skilled in their cooperation.

In Qin Lun’s eyes, he didn’t have the crushing strength of a Legendary class. If these beginner apostles were paired together, they would be able to contend head-on against a Second Grade apostle in a short period of time. If there was a Tier 2 MT like Stark, he would be able to deal with a Tier 2 apostle.

Bypassing the rocks at the valley entrance, the apostles and Am’s cavalry finally saw the battle not far from the valley entrance. There were more than twenty skeletons and zombies fighting against two thieves.

Long Er and the Thief named Perth were both in a sorry state, barely able to resist the attacks of the undead with their backs against their backs. Judging from their appearances, the two of them had actually suffered injuries in just over ten minutes, shocking the apostles who were familiar with the two of them.

“Let’s go together, quickly resolve this!” Robin knitted his eyebrows and felt a sense of unease in his heart. He resolutely waved his hand and took over the leadership that had originally been given to Stark.

More than a dozen apostles fought against more than twenty low-level undead. There was no suspense in this battle. There was even no need for elves or dwarves to interfere. Qin Lun, Milleras, and the others only fired a few symbolic arrows. The last skeleton was also split apart by Stark’s axe.

“What’s going on with you guys?” Nicole inspected the wounds of the two thieves and found that they had dispersed the corpse poison. She heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the two of them angrily.

“Commander Stark, your mercenary group is indeed very strong. I didn’t expect that the two Thieves would be able to last for such a long time under the siege of more than twenty undead!” Compared to the apostles’ disdain for their two companions, Knight Bonny appeared to be very happy.

The two thieves smiled bitterly at each other. Not only did Bonny’s appreciation not make them happy, but it also made them feel like they were stepping on dog shit.

“These undead are very strange. They actually saw through the stealth of Perth and me. We were surrounded not long after we entered the valley. Furthermore, their attacks are well-organized and well-organized. We can’t even unleash our movement techniques.”

Long Er glanced at the wound on his arm and said with lingering fear, “If there were one or two high-level undead among them, we wouldn’t even be able to handle you. If it were the storyline thieves of this world, even if we had the strength, we would probably die from the corpse poison.”

“It’s not these skeletons that saw through your stealth, it’s that thing!” Angelo, who had been listening quietly, suddenly sneered. He raised his staff and shot a translucent ice arrow at a corner of the air.

“Pa!” Following Angelo’s attack, an invisible spherical object suddenly appeared in the empty air and was struck by an ice arrow.

“What is this?”

Stark’s eyes lit up as he rushed forward and stepped on it. He looked carefully and couldn’t help but be amazed. It was a black eyeball the size of a child’s fist, but there was a pair of bat wings on it, struggling under his feet.

“Eye Demons are replicas of alchemy creatures. However, ordinary mages don’t use these things very much. Usually, the people who use them are undead mages and liches!” Angelo said indifferently, “Looks like Knight Bonny’s guess is correct. The undead here are indeed manipulated.”
