Chapter 632: Elf with ill intentions

As long as he followed the black speckled bamboos, Swa believed that he would definitely be able to find the mystery behind it.

As expected, two hours later, Swa found a cave behind a bamboo forest that could only accommodate one Swadian Sergeant. Outside the cave, there were scattered black substances that looked a little terrifying.

Deputy Spock suggested, “Why don’t we let the Jackalan soldiers go first?”

Swa immediately understood Spock’s conspiracy. If they let their people go in first, then once they discovered any secrets, they would definitely not want them to reveal anything. They would not even let them go near the cave.

Or, they would sell the information inside to the lord of Drondheim, Kant, at a high price.

These were things that Swa could foresee.

Therefore, he decisively rejected Spock’s request.

He said, “Last night, everyone lost some of their forces. Lord, you can see that the undead soldiers are not to be trifled with. Only when our two armies work together can we avoid being attacked by the undead soldiers in this dark cave.”

What Swa said was exactly what Deputy Spock wanted.

Deputy Spock naturally knew that the undead soldiers were difficult to deal with. If it was not for the help of the Swadian Sergeants, their entire city might have been attacked by the undead soldiers.

The consequences were simply unimaginable.

With this thought in mind, Deputy Spock readily agreed to Captain Swa’s suggestion.

Although the two teams seemed to be very harmonious, when they reached the cave, the two armies seemed to have deliberately spread out.

Each army searched for its own secrets.

After Captain Swa traveled a mile in the cave, he finally found some secrets.

Those undead soldiers were summoned from some unknown substance underground.

As long as the unknown substance was destroyed, the undead soldiers would not be produced.

Captain Swa used the monster shovel to take samples from the unknown substance, which was about ten grams.

Deputy Spock also arrived. After seeing the unknown substance, Deputy Spock asked, “Is this the substance that summoned the undead soldiers?”

“I think so,” Captain Swa said softly as if he was afraid that if he spoke too loudly, he would awaken the undead soldiers again.

“I think we should get rid of these unknown substances now!”

“Alright!” Captain Swa replied.

The Jackalan soldiers used the melting potion to drip on the unknown substance. In just an instant, the huge unknown substance seemed to have evaporated in the air.

“I think that in this case, your Jackalan city-state should not be attacked by the undead soldiers for a short time!” Captain Swa said to him with a smile.

“Then my mission is also completed. I will report to the Jackalan King and then retreat to the main city of Drondheim.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Deputy Spock was quite polite among the barbarians.

Kant quickly received the unknown substance brought back by Captain Swa. To be honest, he was full of curiosity about this substance.

But what he wanted to do more was to find a way to completely defeat the undead soldiers from this small unknown substance.

In this battle against the undead soldiers, as long as the first person to grasp the method to defeat the undead soldiers in one fell swoop, that person would also obtain the best opportunity in this battle, Kant hoped that he would be the one to obtain the first opportunity.

As long as he obtained this opportunity, then his desire to create an empire would be realized soon.

He had a long chat with the management mage head, Kekua.

Kekua had not discovered the secret of this unknown material, but he could accurately tell Kant, “As long as we find the Magic Mirror of Detection, then the research of this unknown material will have a huge breakthrough!”

“Magic Mirror of Detection?” Kant asked.

“The Magic Mirror of Detection requires many raw materials to be made. Although simple gray wolf fur, discovered grass, and Kaori ore are common raw materials, there are still some rare materials, such as snow mountain oil, and lava-colored frames. Magic dragon crystals are all very difficult to find, so it is not a major task that can be completed in a day.”

Kekua explained to Kant patiently.

While Kekua and Kant were talking, Bunduk came in hastily.

Bunduk knelt on one knee and said respectfully to Kant, “My Lord, the Elf King requests an audience with you.”

“This is getting more and more interesting!” Kant left the manufacturing workshop and came to his palace.

The Elf King seemed to be very angry. When he saw Kant, he found it even harder to control his anger.

“Mr. Kant, I always thought that you were an extremely respected lord, but this time you actually made such a request. This is making things difficult for us!”

The Elf King stood up. The movements of his hands were even richer than his words.

“Elf King, you can reject our request, but you have to know that an outstanding Swadian Sergeant is a priceless treasure. I only want one-tenth of your territory. This is not too much!”

The Elf King became even more furious, he said, “Mr. Kant, as far as I know, you sent troops to the Jackalan city-state to help them before this. Your condition at that time was only 20 tons of crystal ore. How could the reward increase so much when it came to our side? Are you more willing to ally with the barbarians?”

Kant smiled. The Elf King was really quick to get the news.

“Elf King, the two sides are completely different. Can’t you see that? Although the Jackalan city-state was attacked by the undead soldiers, they still had the ability to fight back. However, your territory is completely different. You are already exhausted from the battle, and the main attack areas of the undead soldiers are also in your territory. You should know that if I sent out an excellent Swadian Sergeant, they will be in danger of being wiped out. If you don’t cooperate with us, you will lose more than one-tenth of your territory. Do you still doubt that?”

The Elf King did not expect Kant to be so eloquent that he could not say a word. However, he was helpless. He was in such a difficult situation that no one could solve it.

The Elf King sighed and continued, “Mr. Kant, is there no room for negotiation at all?”

Kant shook his head. “This is the best offer I can give.”

The Elf King gritted his teeth and said, “Fine! I’ll give you one-tenth of the territory, but you must send an army of at least a thousand people to support us!”
