This was also a common tactic of the undead mercenaries. They first killed all the people in the surrounding villages and turned them into an Army of undead creatures. Although the undead creatures were of low levels, their attack power wasn’t weak. It should be known that the undead creatures weren’t weak. In addition, they weren’t afraid of death or pain, so their attacks were completely suicidal. No intelligent race was willing to face them.
The reputation of the magedell family on the continent was very high, and they were also very powerful, so when their caravans went out, no one dared to make a move on them. As time went by, they would naturally relax a little, so each merchant group did not send many people.
This time, the magedell family was going to the Montenegro fortress to make a secret deal with a mysterious person, and the item they were going to make a deal with was a Necromancer orb.
This magic ball of death was found by a thief in an ancient tomb. This magic ball had strong death energy and could turn an ordinary undead creature into a middle or high level undead creature.
Although the magedell family really wanted to keep this treasure, this news was known by a very mysterious person. That mysterious person offered a huge price to buy this magic ball, and the magedell family had no choice but to agree. They then chose to trade in a place like the Montenegro Mountain fortress that no one cared about because it would not attract people’s attention. No one would think that they would bring such a treasure to trade here.
However, he didn’t know how the undead mercenary group found out about this. The importance of this magic ball to the undead mercenary group was self-evident, which was why they wanted to Rob him.
This time, in order to not let others know that they were going to the Montenegro fortress to trade, the magilder family didn’t send many troops. They disguised themselves as an ordinary merchant group and spread the news that they had changed the location of the trade to another place. They thought that this would be safe, but they didn’t expect to be blocked by the undead mercenaries.
The eight Black Mages of the undead mercenary group naturally didn’t only know how to turn people into undead creatures. Their black magic wasn’t small. One had to know that they were very powerful black Mages in the past. Other than commanding the undead army to attack the marginder family’s caravan, they also used black magic to attack the caravan from time to time, which put a lot of pressure on the caravan.
Of course, the magedell family wouldn’t really just send some ordinary mercenaries to deliver the death magic ball. The people they sent this time were all experts from their family.
However, these experts couldn’t fight against so many people. Moreover, the ones who attacked them weren’t humans but undead creatures. In addition, the eight members of the undead mercenary group were launching sneak attacks with black magic, making them suffer.
Lola was standing on the carriage, holding a wooden box in her hand. The box was not very big, about 20 cubic centimeters. It did not look very heavy either, so it did not take her much effort to hold it in her hand.
Laura was the daughter of the second-in-line successor of the magicians ‘family, Kelun magicians. She was 40 years old and had just reached Level 6. This kind of cultivation speed was not slow, but it was definitely not fast either. It was not like the heavenly materials. However, she was a person who liked to cultivate and was more interested in studying magic. She had no interest in business.
The magicians did not care much about the level of the warrior or mage that the family’s heir was. What they valued more was the family’s business ability. This made Kelun’s position in the family seem a little awkward.
However, Kelun had a good daughter, Laura. Laura was only 17 years old, but she was a famous genius on the continent. She was not only a genius in cultivation, but also in business. What Laura learned wasn’t an ordinary martial skill, but a Knight’s skill. This was a battle skill that was more difficult to learn than ordinary martial skills, and it had very high requirements for the cultivator.
Today, Laura was already a Grade 6 warrior. She was good at using Spears, tower shields, horse bows, and curved swords. She was also very powerful. However, if you looked at her appearance, you would never think that she was such an expert.
Her skin was as white as snow, she had a head of long golden wavy hair, and a pair of deep blue eyes. The most unforgettable thing about her was her height, which was more than 1.8 meters. This kind of status made many men flinch, not to mention her prominent family background and powerful martial arts skills.
The most interesting thing about her was that she was a business genius. She was very talented in doing business. She had started to help her father manage some business matters at a young age, and she had done it well.
Most people wouldn’t even be jealous of such a talented girl because she was too outstanding. If a person was only a little better than you, you would be jealous of him. However, if someone was much better than you and was on a different level, you wouldn’t be jealous of him.
The magedell family was not quite the same as other families. Every heir of the family would manage a part of the family’s business. When the family head was selected, it would be based on whose business was managed the best and made the most profits. Then, the family’s elders would jointly agree to pass the family’s position to the person.
Originally, Kelun, the second heir, was only in name. Everyone in the magicider family knew that he was not good at business and had no competition for the position of the family head. At most, he could only be regarded as one of those who trained the Crown Prince to study.
However, ever since Laura had helped him manage his business, the profits of his business had increased year after year, and he was now no worse than the other heirs.
Kelun’s family business was mainly concentrated in the Versailles Duchy. Therefore, this deal was handed over to Kelun. Of course, the one who completed this deal in the end was Laura.
Laura didn’t expect that all her arrangements would be in vain. In the end, the undead mercenary group still blocked this place. She knew that this time, it was really dangerous.
Although Laura was a 6th-tier Knight, she had yet to find a Mount that truly belonged to her until now. Moreover, she had never participated in a real battle. Her status as a 6th-tier Knight was something that could be obtained by passing the examination. Although her strength was not bad, she was much worse than those mercenaries who licked blood on the blade every day.
In addition, they were surrounded by the undead creatures, so she couldn’t escape even if she wanted to.
This was the first time Laura had felt so hopeless and felt so close to death. Lola bit her lips hard, and her delicate red lips were already bleeding.
At this moment, the scene that destroyed Laura’s last hope appeared. Behind the Army of undead creatures, another large group of undead creatures appeared. These undead creatures were tall and large, and their bodies were covered in a strange green color. It was obvious that they were more difficult to deal with than the undead creatures that surrounded them.
Laura’s face was deathly pale. She knew that she wouldn’t be able to escape today. However, this didn’t make her collapse. On the contrary, it aroused her fighting spirit!
When people were desperate, they would either completely collapse and lose all their resistance, or they would resist in anger. Even if they died, they would take someone with them. Laura was obviously the latter.
Just as Laura was prepared to fight to the death, she suddenly discovered that the undead creatures that came later were attacking the undead creatures that surrounded them.
This time, it was not only Lola who was stunned, but all the members of the magicdare family were also stunned. Their brains could not react to what had happened in a short time. Could it be that there was an internal conflict in the undead mercenary group?
However, Laura didn’t think that way. She was a smart person and could see that the undead creatures that attacked them were on a completely different level from the undead creatures that attacked them. The undead creatures that attacked them were obviously people from nearby, and most of their weapons were farm tools. Besides the humanoid ones, most of them were magical beasts that were raised at home.
The magic beasts that came later were all very powerful magic beasts with Green Bone armor. It was obvious that they were poisonous and not to be trifled with.
Under the watchful eyes of Laura and the others, the green undead creatures continued to surge forward. The total number of undead creatures reached more than 1000, and they eliminated nearly half of the undead creatures that were besieging them. Moreover, the undead creatures that were besieging them were disappearing at a rapid speed.
Laura had been paying attention to the green undead creatures. She believed that their helpers would soon appear. As expected, a huge undead creature appeared on the slope. It might not be the biggest undead creature, but there was someone on it.
Laura looked over carefully and found that there were four people on the undead creature. Two of them were standing on the head of the undead creature, one was wearing a full-body infantry armor, and the other was wearing a magic robe. The other two were sitting in the chest of the undead creature. One was wearing a black magic robe and looked very strange, and the last one was dressed as a maid and was sitting beside the Black Mage.
Laura knew that the person in question was here, but at this moment, a few black beams of light shot towards the four of them. Laura’s expression changed. She knew that the undead mercenaries had made a move, and they must hate those four people to death. It was those four who had ruined their good plan. Laura couldn’t help but nervously shout, ” “Be careful,” he warned. However, she had not expected that she was so far away from the four of them that they could not hear what she had shouted.
