Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow.

Chapter 341 So we can only fight in a group without any moral principles.
"Master, where should we go to find the members of the Great Tomb of Nazarick?" Gamma looked at Zeta who was about to get up and asked Li De.

"Zeta, let's go to the place where we had the battle just now. If the timing is right, you should be able to feel the breath of the strong man." Li De said to Zeta who stood up.

"Shadow, what if the time is wrong?" Alpha took over the conversation and asked.

"Then let's look around. There should be a city there. The leader of the hostile forces in this mission should be in that city. He is a skeleton wearing a pitch-black full body armor.

Of course, if we can't find him, we can search around the city. There should be a village where goblins are infested. The Great Tomb of Nazarick is on the plains around the village, in the middle of a small hill. "Li De continued.

"Master, I understand. Then without further delay, I will go and confirm it now!" After Zeta said this, he was teleported outside the 'Fearless Monarch'.

Accompanied by a flash of lightning, Zeta's figure rolled in the direction he had left before, accompanied by a rumbling thunder.

After seeing Zeta leave, Claire spoke to Reed and said, "Sid, you've already realized that it doesn't make much sense to let Zeta investigate and test us. And with Zeta's personality, a fight is likely to happen."

As soon as Claire opened her mouth, the girls immediately looked at her and Li De.

"Ah, I did notice that. The concentration of magic in this world is not inferior to that of Axel and Orario. This kind of environment will definitely breed a Lv.10 warrior.

Although I know this very well, if I don't confirm it, I will always unconsciously have a lucky fantasy. And it's also good to let Zeta try. Anyway, as long as we don't make it clear, the other party will not know our purpose this time. "Li De expressed his considerations.

"Indeed, as long as we don't reveal our purpose and it's just an accidental encounter and a test fight, the other party really can't think that we are deliberately targeting us. At most, it's just a strong man meeting a strong man and he's itching to show off his skills. But the premise is that Zeta doesn't reach the Great Tomb of Nazarick." Gamma nodded in agreement.

"I believe in my luck, so Zeta shouldn't have a chance to get past." Li De was very confident in his luck.

In fact, while they were discussing, Zeta had already returned to the sky above where the Black Scripture team had been massacred before.

"Sure enough, there is a powerful aura!" Zeta's eyes were now looking towards the entrance of a cave a few kilometers away.

An ugly monster figure is slaughtering a human team wantonly.

"It seems like a good opportunity! It's a good excuse to take action!" After seeing that there was only one female left in the human team in the blink of an eye, Zeta instantly disappeared into the air.

Accompanied by rumbling thunder, Zeta, who had temporarily hidden his orc features, rushed towards the monster with a long sword that was shining with lightning.

"The breath of a strong man! So fast!" Shalltear, who had just been splashed with a bottle of top-level healing potion by the red-haired adventurer Britta, was attracted by the powerful breath emanating from Zeta before she had time to interrogate Britta.

In just a blink of an eye, Shalltear saw Zeta rushing out of the forest with a lightning sword in his hand, and after crossing a distance of dozens of meters, he rushed towards her with the lightning sword held high.

clang!
The next second, accompanied by a sharp sound of metal collision, a wave of air spurted out from the tip of the Thunder Sword and the tip of the Dropper Spear.

Britta, who was right next to him, and the vampire bride, who was not far away, were blown away.

Reaching out his hand, he caught Britta who was blown away. Zeta leaped back with the thunder sword in his other hand, and then stared at Shalltear vigilantly, as if he was making a gesture to save her.

"He is indeed a strong man, and very strong!" After Shalltear fought with Ta, a solemn look gradually appeared on her face.

"When did vampires occupy the suburbs of Ye-Lantel? What a trouble!" Zeta asked the first question based on Reed's remote command.

The next sentence was what she wanted to say herself, because through the previous attack, Zeta had already tested that Shalltear's strength was definitely greater than hers.

After all, Zeta did not hold back at all in terms of strength in that stab just now.

Although Zeta was much slower in speed, even so, people of the same level as her would never be able to take on the sword as easily as Shalltear could when she was passive.

In other words, the opponent's ability value is at least one level higher than his own.

A conservative estimate is Lv.10, and it may even be stronger than Lv.10.

Needless to say, the vampire with a lamprey face in front of him is one of the hostile members of this mission.

While Zeta was evaluating Shalltear, Shalltear was also evaluating Zeta.

Although his strength is weaker than his own, it is definitely not comparable to those small fry he had encountered before who could be killed at will.

If you want to capture Zeta, you have to put on the artifact suit and fight seriously.

Regardless of who would win or lose, it would definitely not be easy to catch the opponent, because the opponent's speed was so fast that it made Shalltear a little nervous.

In addition, his skill in using strength is quite advanced, even better than his own.

Why is Shalltear so sure?
Because Zeta's previous attack was originally intended to kill, or to force him to retreat.

Even though he blocked the attack, the opponent cleverly used the air wave generated by the attack to rescue the human woman who was beside him.

In other words, the opponent's initial purpose of attack was to save people.

If you really fight against such a strong person with a very good brain, it will not be easy to win even if you want to.

However, Bone King, who had only been in this world for a short time, had no intention of coming to the fore in a high-profile manner, so when he sent people out, he asked them to act in a low-key manner.

This is the fundamental reason why Shalltear would target the thief. After all, no one would care or track down the thief if he disappeared.

Otherwise, knowing that there were plenty of adventurers using combat skills in E-Rantel Castle, why did Shalltear not go into the city to capture them but instead ran to the suburbs? That would be completely unreasonable.

So the real reason was that Shalltear was restricted by orders and was unwilling or unable to make a big noise.

Unlike the original story where she let the man run away recklessly, Zeta has used one blow to tell her that it is not that easy to silence her.

Between going back and being scolded after a failed scene and going back now with the possibility of not being scolded, she hesitated for a moment and finally chose to retreat now.

However, the reason was not because of Zeta, but because of Britta who was held by Zeta around the waist.

Shalltear recognized that the healing potion that Britta took out came from Momonga's hand, and she instinctively thought that Britta was related to Momonga's plan.

In other words, Britta at least couldn't die in her hands, and she didn't dare to disrupt Momonga's plan.

However, a big fight with Zeta might affect Britta. If Zeta can be caught later, it would be fine. But if not, she would definitely be scolded when she returns.

In fact, considering her masochistic personality, being scolded by Momonga was nothing, but she absolutely could not tolerate Albedo's sarcastic accusations.

So after weighing the pros and cons, although somewhat unwilling, Shalltear still chose to retreat.

After all, retreating now would not only bring back information, but also give Britta, who was "set up" by the flying squirrel, a suitable chance to survive.

Although Shalltear still wanted to ask Britta for some information, the situation was not suitable now, so she would wait for a chance to talk about it later. Seeing that the crazy Shalltear actually took a half step back, Zeta was surprised and also took a half step back carefully to show her attitude.

Then the two women retreated cautiously. Shalltear retreated into the cave and disappeared, while Zeta also carried Britta, who was still trembling, into the forest.

After a while, somewhere in the forest, Zeta, who was running at high speed, suddenly stopped, put down Britta who had been carrying him, said "no one is chasing you", and disappeared beside Britta.

By the time Britta reacted, Zeta was gone.

Britta was so frightened that she didn't dare to stay where she was. Even though her legs were a little weak, she kept moving forward.

Not long after she walked, she saw a clearing in the forest and a pile of mummies in the middle of the clearing.

These victims.
The image of Shalltear the vampire resurfaced in her mind.

Go now!
Covering her mouth, Britta took a look and quickly sped up, then ran quickly in the direction her team came from.

She didn't want to stay in this suburb any longer.

It was really terrifying. If I hadn't been lucky tonight and met a strong man of the elite steel level who repelled the vampire, I would definitely have died.

When she returned to E-Lantel at dawn, she naturally brought back the news of the appearance of the vampire.

Unlike her previous ranger companion who only brought back news of vampires, Britta also pinned the blame for the deaths of the people of the Slaine Theocracy on Shalltear.

Who told Britta that in her mind, mummies that have been drained of blood are the work of vampires?

And there was only one vampire nearby, so it must have been Shalltear who did it.

In this way, when the Silian Theocracy sends investigators to investigate, they will naturally have a direction for hatred.

When one day they find out who this vampire's subordinate is, they will naturally blame all the new and old grudges on the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

That’s right, including this time when Shalltear took the blame, the Great Tomb of Nazarick has already wiped out two armies of the Silian Theocracy and disrupted their plans twice.

After the Silian Theocracy learned the truth, it would be strange if they did not regard the Great Tomb of Nazarick as their mortal enemy.

Of course, considering the monsters in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, they are also heretics that must be eliminated in the eyes of the Silian Theocracy.

But there is still a difference between having hatred and not having hatred.

In the absence of hatred, even if the Silian Theocracy takes action, it will most likely be calculated with some purpose.

But it’s different when there is a grudge. Although calculation is inevitable, it will make the other party more proactive.

In this way, once the Great Tomb of Nazarick moves from behind the scenes to the front stage, it will be easier to persuade the other party to form a large alliance to attack the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

It was precisely because of his far-reaching considerations that Li De put the blame on Shalltear.

On the other hand, after Zeta returned to the 'Fearless Monarch', he described in detail the feeling of fighting with Shalltear.

"It seems like it's really difficult to fight!" Li De couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

After all, Zeta used the dropper spear to deal with Shalltear, but she didn't wear her blood suit armor.

In other words, Shalltear, who fought Zeta head-on, was not in her complete state.

After putting on a full set of equipment, her ability value will be further improved.

"It's indeed a bit difficult to fight. After all, the only things that can suppress the opponent are speed and skills." Claire also nodded.

"Fortunately, we have the skill 'Hero's Wish', otherwise there would be no strong enough way to kill, and we would have to rely on grinding." Alpha said with a serious expression.

"So, master, we can decide to use the third plan as the basis, right?" Gamma said to Li De.

Before coming, Li De made a total of three plans. The first one was a now-abandoned plan of having fun and running away.

The second set is built on the first set. Although it is much more patient, it does not go beyond the scope of a one-on-one duel between forces.

As for the third plan, it was proposed by Alexia, which was to bring in all the countries on the continent where the Great Tomb of Nazarick is located.

After all, although Li De was not clear about the specific background of these countries, he could muddy the waters by bringing them in.

While making it easier to hide oneself, one can also utilize the power of these countries to jointly deal with the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Even if these countries cannot achieve much military achievements, as long as they have some achievements, they will gain something. It is much better than fighting against the Great Tomb of Nazarick alone.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Since it's too difficult to fight one-on-one, let's bring in other hostile forces. After all, we're clearing pests from the natives of this continent. There's no reason to let them just stand by and watch." Li De nodded.

"Master, what should we do then?" This time it was Beta who asked.

After all, the third set of plans involves the issue of the time node for entry, so there is only a general plan but no detailed plan.

"Since we are going to focus on the third plan, we need to find out the exact information about the countries surrounding the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Especially for some countries that do not have strong military forces, we need to arrange personnel to go in advance." Li De said after thinking about it.

Because the situation he currently envisioned was that after Momonga captured E-Rantel and surfaced, he would form a great alliance to fight against the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

After all, as time goes by, the power of the Great Tomb of Nazarick will only grow greater.

Li De didn't want to see the Kingdom of Re-Estize being taken over by the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

After all, the larger the enemy's territory, the more difficult it is to inflict 80% of the damage.

Therefore, Li De could tolerate one city, but absolutely not more.

Therefore, Li De had to make arrangements in advance and disperse his people, striving to firmly suppress the expansion of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

"It seems that we first need a map of the continent's power distribution," Miyano Shiho suggested.

"That's right. Only by understanding the countries on this continent can we make reasonable personnel deployment." Yita also nodded.
