Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2034 Everyone has their own agenda!

By the time Brand learned that Yersen and the others had been attacked by the enemy, it was already afternoon.

Looking at the empty screen in front of him, the knights, enveloped in crimson battle aura, roamed freely like a long dragon through a sea of ​​bones.

The invisible fire giant and the three-headed lion, relying on the stone fortress's position, continuously unleashed massive elemental waves to suppress the undead attempting to charge forward.

Brand couldn't help but sigh:

"They've just finished lunch and they're already doing strenuous exercise? These guys are really energetic!"

After saying this and taking another sip of afternoon tea, Brand turned to Celine beside him and asked:

"Has Mr. Candrus responded yet?"

Upon hearing this, Celine, who was fiddling with the light screen in front of her, shook her head and said:

"There was indeed a peculiar spatial fluctuation when the battle between the two sides first began."

However, these fluctuations are too subtle for us to trace.

Now, all I can confirm is that someone is indeed spying on us in the shadows.

If they don't show themselves, we probably won't have any good solutions.

Upon hearing this, Brand nodded in understanding.

In that case, his research needs to be expedited.

Next, while Brand had some afternoon tea, paid attention to the battle between Yersin and the others, and then continued their research.

The battleground where Yersin and others were located.

Leading the knights, they traversed the sea of ​​bones with exhilarating ease.

After shattering the two skeletal giants along with a vast ocean of bones, turning them into countless fragments of bone that rained down like a storm, the remaining fragments were destroyed.

Yersin led the knights in orderly horsemanship, tracing a long arc in the sky as they calmly returned to the stone fortress, where they joined Andy and Finn's mage group.

Faced with such a scene.

The undead legion, which had been unable to get close to the stone fortress due to the magical suppression of the fire giant and the three-headed lion, also stopped their attack at the command of their leader.

For a time, the two sides faced each other in a standoff outside the stone fortress.

On one side was a small knightly order led by Yersin, a mid-level Grand Knight, and on the other side were two small mage orders led by Andy and Finn, two mid-level Archmages.

On the other side was an undead army led by two intermediate necromancers, one intermediate necromancer knight, one novice necromancer orc, and one novice necromancer.

At this moment, watching the five powerful undead warriors huddled deep within the undead army, manipulating death energy to rapidly reassemble their shattered bones and transform them back into an undead legion, one could see them truly awe-inspiring.

Whether it was Yersen, Andy, or Finn, they all curled their lip in disdain.

After the recent clashes, they have clearly realized that if the two sides were to clash head-on...

These five guys were no match for them at all.

It is only because these guys have a huge skeleton army as cover that they have been able to continue fighting them until now.

Of course, they also have to admit:
These guys are still a bit troublesome.

Given the current situation, they will inevitably need to expend some effort to completely eliminate this massive undead army.

Moreover, it would be difficult for them to keep these five timid but powerful individuals safely in the area.

Thinking this way, they communicated with each other using magical communication.

Yersin led the knights forward, then, facing the vast undead army, he spoke with imposing authority in human language:
"The undead!"
We acknowledge that you are qualified to share this site with us.

Now, the leader, come out and speak!

Let's talk about the issue of profit distribution.

Or, if you insist on fighting us to the death, we wouldn't mind fighting to the bitter end!

After uttering these words, the undead army in front of him still appeared to have no reaction on the surface.

Large shards of bone continue to reassemble into undead warriors.

However, Yersen and his companions also clearly sensed that the five powerful enemy figures had now gathered together, and the hostility of the entire undead army towards them was gradually decreasing.

Before long, under the watchful eyes of Yersin and the others.

A path parted from the dense sea of ​​white bones.

A mid-level undead high knight rode a skeletal warhorse to the front.

Then, he spoke loudly in a clear, distinct human language with a distinctive accent:

"Human strongmen, we agree with your proposal!"
We don't yet know how many benefits this ruin holds, so there's no need for us to start a bloody battle right now!
"Let's stop this and make peace, and jointly develop this ruin. It'll be good for both of us!" Hearing these sensible words, the three of them smiled with satisfaction.

Next, Yersen rode forward alone and met and discussed matters with the undead high knight of equal strength at the midline of the confrontation.

Ultimately, both sides reached a preliminary consensus: to jointly occupy and develop this site.

After reaching an agreement, they symbolically drafted a cooperation agreement and signed it.

Yersin and the mid-level undead high knight also returned separately.

Subsequently, this army of undead retreated to the other side of the entrance to the ruins, facing the stone fortress where Yersen and the others were located.

Immediately afterward, the five powerful undead warriors quickly gathered together, having instructed their men to begin constructing defensive fortifications on the spot.

One of the undead orcs who was driven away by Yersin yesterday expressed some dissatisfaction:

"Should we just stop fighting and make peace with them?"

These guys are clearly outsiders. What human force with such power is around here?

Upon hearing this, a necromancer archmage curled his lip and said:

Even if you don't give up and make peace, what can you do?

If a real fight breaks out, it's highly likely we'll be defeated; these guys are clearly not easy to deal with.

And what about the intelligence you brought back before? What do you mean they only have one human mid-level Grand Knight?

That's the leader of a human knight order, and he even secretly has two mage orders hidden behind him!

If it weren't for our similar plans to monopolize this site and our thorough preparations...

We might just be doomed here today.

Upon hearing this, the undead orc wanted to offer a few words of explanation.

But the leading undead knight shook his head and interrupted:

"Alright, these guys aren't that simple. It's understandable that the intelligence might be wrong."

In any case, we haven't seen any benefits from the ruins yet, so fighting them to the death now would be pointless for us.

It's good to cooperate with them; if other forces come and want a piece of the pie, it will be easier for us.

As for what happens next, if the value of the ruins is limited, peaceful development is preferable.

If the relics are of extraordinary value, then we will report the news to our superiors.

"When the time comes, our Black Moon Spire will send its strongest warriors to deal with them!"

Upon hearing this, the other four powerful undead warriors unconsciously revealed a sinister smile.

Meanwhile, at the same time, Yersen and his group...

After disbanding the team, they arranged for people to keep an eye on them.

They returned to the table to eat.

Looking at the faction name "Black Hound" on the agreement between the two parties.

Andy recalled:
"I've seen this faction mentioned in the intelligence reports from my master's side."

This appears to be an alliance of small factions in the vicinity of the Southern Alliance of the Eternal Night Kingdom.

The strongest among them seems to be that mid-level undead archknight from before.

After shoveling a few mouthfuls of rice, Yersin asked curiously:

"So that's all the energy they have?"

Andy shook his head and said:
"It's hard to say. I've heard that this faction has a complicated internal structure."

Therefore, it's hard to say whether there are other powerful figures acting as fronts in this situation.

Finn waved his hand to interrupt:
"None of that matters, whether they are a small force or a large force."

If there aren't many good things in the ruins, then it's not a bad idea for us to share them peacefully.

We can also ask them to help us share the losses from exploring the ruins.

If there's anything amazing or good here, we'll bring Brand and the others over to keep it all for ourselves.

With Brand and his group around, even the top powers of the Rios continent wouldn't gain any advantage if they came to join the fray!

Upon hearing this, Andy and Yersin couldn't help but reveal a proud smile, agreeing with the statement.

With Brand and his gang backing them up, they can act with impunity!
