Taking the blame upon himself, Lia assumed the role of the villain.
Otherwise, should Lu Yao enact such treachery, the entire assembly would inevitably perceive her as a traitor to the Alliance, having founded the Elemental Alliance, he wished to prevent its disintegration over such matters.
Meanwhile, Lu Yao returned to her castle, feeling a sense of relief and gratitude for Lia's sudden change of heart.
For now, she could contact Galvvin openly.
She immediately engaged in a transaction with Galvin, using the intelligence regarding Bayou as leverage.
Ultimately, Galvin successfully acquired information about Bayou's injuries as well as details about her castle.
There was no choice.
Galvin's offerings were simply too generous.
Upon receiving the news, Galvvin was filled with excitement, exclaiming his gratitude for divine favor.
As for the matter of forming an alliance with Galvvin to facilitate the relocation, Lu Yao chose not to mention it to him, as they had already reached an understanding earlier.
Vine fairy, do not reneig on your earlier promise.
Chuan Pule, rest assured and never go back on my word.
With me around, they would not dare to harm you.
Chapter 202.
The alliance of three.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, Galvvin, residing within the castle, wore a smile that was more laced with disdain than delight.
Truly, this lord was rather Na'vi.
It was no wonder he found himself relegated to the second tier.
Meanwhile, upon discovering that the individual she had been in contact with, Blonde, had been slain, Nyxenne realized that the lord of the undead seemed to have uncovered their trail.
Regardless of whether the undead lord near Blonde was indeed the target of the alliance's crusade exine deemed it essential to inform Galvin, they had likely already stirred up the hornet's nest.
The fact that Blonde failed to send a warning before his demise indicated that the opponent possessed considerable strength, able to intercept and eliminate him before he could relay a message.
When illusions break, how are preparations coming along? That 21th nun has been slain.
We may have already alerted our foes.
The undead lord near him is likely the one we seek.
Tuan Puluo, preparations are nearly complete.
The lord who previously sold me information has just disclosed the approximate location of the undead lord's castle.
Moreover, the undead lord sustained injuries while battling two local kings.
I believe the time has come to act.
When illusions break, the night is drawing near.
Inform the other lords.
It will take some time.
Confirm that there are no complications with our allied lord and we shall strike at dawn.
Tuan pulio just as I had anticipated.
Let us proceed accordingly.
Our equipment still requires a slight enhancement.
At this moment you had just returned to the castle a strider steed.
Shiaoing bolstering her ranks with an additional 10,000 undead soldiers.
Wow, your castle is magnificent.
Such grandeur and yet you reside here alone.
Silver tide gazed in awe.
Her eyes wide with wonder.
Compared to her own foul smelling cave, Bayu<unk>s castle was leagues above.
"There are two others, but they are not here," Bayou replied.
"Now she faced the onslaught of over a hundred lords.
It was best to keep Xiao Yianua safely in sconced within the Bayen Mountains.
Curious, Silver Tide wandered through the castle, but Bayou had no time to entertain her.
She needed to mobilize all her undead forces towards the southern marshes, leaving behind 25 level 9 commanding undead to guard the premises.
Empowered by the throne of bones, they could exhibit king level prowess, albeit lacking true dominion, rendering them a semblance of kingship, for the throne was merely a royal structure.
These undead had all been summoned by Bayou.
Otherwise, her current forces would not have reached level 9.
Skeleton soldiers, wraiths, and zombies were but the lowest tier mere cannon fodder.
Forever incapable of attaining king level strength, even if they were to shed their level restrictions.
With the assistance of two top tier lords, Bayou resolved to establish the battlefield outside the town.
This was not an act of arrogance.
Rather, the crystal of the castle was intrinsically tied to her existence.
Unless absolutely necessary, Bayou was reluctant to expose her stronghold.
Previously, Bayou had been bold enough to engage in battle within the castle.
But now, armed with specific intelligence about her adversaries, the immobile castle crystal became a source of concern.
Should the town's crystal be destroyed, even if Bayou herself were to emerge victorious, the repercussions would be dire.
Within the castle, 25 level 9 commanding undead alongside the town's defensive structures and four gargoyles at the entrance constituted by you's final trump card.
The undead stirred, marching densely towards the southern marshes.
Knowing that the intelligence had already been leaked, Bayou resolved to prepare and advance.
Inshi, have you marked the target yet? Bayou called out, glancing at the bouncy.
Rest assured, I am not that unreliable.
In she possessed a skill within her spatial magic that allowed her to mark targets, thus sensing their locations and manipulating them.
It was through her assistance that Bayou had obtained divinity as she marked it at the moment of its emergence, enabling her to perform a remarkable feat of remote displacement.
Upon encountering in Shei on the way to Lia, Bayou naturally altered her previous thoughts.
She instructed Enshi to mark Lia.
Most of Inshi's spatial magic stem from her inheritance.
And unless one was a royal level mage with exceptionally keen elemental perception.
It would be nearly impossible to detect.
With this mark, Ian, she could locate the elemental allianc's position.
And now that she had ascended to royal level, her perception range had expanded exponentially compared to her previous commanding level, making it effortless to uncover the elemental alliance's whereabouts.
Bayu would not naively believe that Lia would betray his allies for her sake.
Most importantly, she intended to ensure that these lords would not return.
Sun Xiaos Xiao<unk>s castle served as Bayu<unk>s second layer of insurance.
She would fight alongside the undead, and the lord would likely regard Sun Shia Xiao<unk>s castle as their own.
With so many lords gathered, Bayu doubted they would mindlessly converge upon her.
Some would surely be tasked with locating her castle.
At this moment, Son Xiao Xiao<unk>s castle became Bayou's best concealment.
Bayou employed alchemical magic to forge a batch of enchanted stones.
Then instructed the alchemist to promptly conceal them around Sun Xiao Xiao<unk>s castle.
If they placed their castle openly, how could they possibly believe it was theirs? It must be hidden in advance.
By you, what are you doing? In she observed the bustling Bayou, noting that since her return to the castle, she had not paused.
Today, tomorrow, or the day after, a horde of alien races will come to attack me.
So, I'm preparing ahead of time.
Why would they come to attack you? In she pondered, recalling that the alien races typically lived in isolation.
How could they possibly go to war? Perhaps they perceive me as different from them.
Soon, Bayou's town became desolate, leaving only the 25 undead and Little Bing.
The marshy terrain could somewhat limit the army's effectiveness.
She only hoped that this marsh would still exist after the battle.
Nightfall enveloped the magical continent and Bayou observed a series of messages indicating that the undead were cleansing the marsh of wild monsters.
Suddenly, a message from Sun Shia Sha popped up.
Sister Bay, I have accurate news.
They will strike at dawn tomorrow.
Bayou was taken aback.
This was swifter than she had anticipated, likely due to the enemy's awareness of the slaying of their lord.
Bayou reassured, "Rest assured, I am fully prepared.
" Son Sha Sha refrained from inquiring about Bayou<unk>s injuries, indicating that the higher-ups had chosen not to disclose this matter.
Bayou terminated the private chat with Sun Sha Shao and subsequently consented to the alliance proposed by Du Yang and Lee Lings.
