From Wild Mage to Wizard King.

Chapter 409 Castornas

Veronica stood on the top of a big tree and looked into the distance. Because she was too deep and the green tide was destroying her, she looked left and right, and all she could see was dense trees or endless grasslands.

She frowned, picked up the pocket watch hanging around her neck with her right hand, pressed the button to open the pocket watch, and a somewhat chaotic and complicated picture appeared in front of her.

As a magical device specially equipped for Shadow Dancers after the Legion's mechanization, this small pocket watch contains a large number of functions, from basic timekeeping and guidance to specialized ability enhancement.

Veronica confirmed the direction using the compass on it, then she pressed the first button of the pocket watch, and a detailed map of Donnar appeared on the pocket watch.

Although it is a little small, it is not a problem for Veronica, the original body of Shadow Dancer.

After silently calculating her approximate location, she reconfirmed the direction she was heading and continued to move forward.

Veronica ignored the sounds of the daily fights among the green-skinned orcs in the forest below, and disappeared under the direct sunlight.

Then, the sunlight around them began to twist vaguely, and with a breeze, Veronica, who had turned into light, was moving forward rapidly.

Although she was a Shadow Dancer original with a Shadow Core installed, generally speaking, a Shadow Dancer's invisibility could only be performed in a shadow environment. However, the blood in Veronica's body affected the Shadow Core.

Although Veronica has always believed that she is a half-elf with the blood of a moon elf, in fact, as the descendant of a sun elf and a half-elf, the elven blood in her body is mainly sun elf blood.

Therefore, under the influence of the Sun Elf bloodline, the Shadow Core changed. It not only possessed the power of shadow, but also gained a slightly weaker power of light. Moreover, since Veronica was the Primarch, the cores of the other Primarch soldiers were derived from her.

Therefore, other Shadow Dancer soldiers also inherited this special condition and became a Primarch soldier with both light and dark forms.

Since the foundation of the shadow core is the assassin template, even with the power of light, the shadow dancers still maintain the assassin template. The power of light only allows them to retain their combat power in a bright environment. Apart from being a little more flexible, their actual combat power is affected and is much worse than Roland expected.

Although it was not quite what Roland expected, there was no way to do it again, so after checking and finding that there was no problem, Roland just let it go.

Flying over the forest, Veronica ran quickly towards the southwest. Along the way, she saw and encountered countless green-skinned orcs.

Ever since Kan'ozu was killed by Roland, the Green Tide, which lost its leader, fell into a civil war that has lasted forever. Although the border between the War Council and the Greenskins is relatively peaceful due to regular raids, the civil war still maintains an extremely high frequency within the Green Tide controlled area.

The Shadow Dancers are all aware of this, because their job is to supervise and inspect the civil war among the green-skinned orcs. More than 90% of the War Council's current intelligence on the Green Tide is provided by them.

Moreover, the greenskin extraordinary people who rose from the fighting, and even the greenskin warlords, were basically assassinated by them, especially the greenskin priests. According to Roland's orders, the greenskin priests would be killed in seconds as soon as they showed their heads.

Although Roland did not think that the civil war within the Green Tide would produce a final winner, just in case, Roland still asked the Shadow Dancers to regularly clean out the extraordinary people within the Green Tide, especially the greenskin priests who could use their brains.

Who knows if they will find other ways to integrate the green tide.

However, due to the chaos within the Green Tide, the War Council can only rely on the War Council's border strongholds and the space gates arranged in the Dragon Ridge Mountains to conduct regular sweeps of the Green Tide's periphery. The core area has not been swept yet due to distance limitations.

Veronica ignored these murderous green-skinned orcs and turned into light and shadow and passed through the battlefield, ignoring them. At most, she killed the green-skinned priests and green-skinned transcendents she saw when passing by.

From day to night, after crossing countless greenskin battlefields and running for who knows how long, Veronica went deep into the core area of ​​the greenskin-controlled area and finally arrived at her destination.

Veronica blended into the shadows, standing on a tree branch, frowning as she looked at the bright city in the distance.

Castonas, the capital of the Central Kingdom, the most dazzling pearl of Donnar, the origin of mankind, and the first great city in human history with a population of over one million. It is said that before its fall, its population was infinitely close to ten million.

Even Veronica, a half-elf, has heard of its name.

However, in the previous chaotic era, according to countless refugees, this city had fallen into the hands of the greenskins and became the new core of the green tide. What is the situation now?
According to the habits of the green-skinned orcs, if it was really captured, why would it be in its current state? Not to mention becoming a ruin, why are there still lights?

Could it be that the city has not fallen yet? This is not good news.

Veronica frowned.

As the capital of the Central Kingdom, Castornas is home to a large number of ancient nobles and countless old men of all kinds. In terms of orthodoxy and legal principles, the chairman who is not a native of Donnar cannot compare with them.

Although Veronica didn't think they could affect the chairman's position, if the news got out, the committee might experience more unnecessary turmoil.

Otherwise, kill all the old people.

A murderous intent flashed in Veronica's eyes, but after thinking it over again and again, she gave up the idea.

Let's wait and see. Maybe the greenskins have learned how to light things up?
Veronica turned on the recording function of her pocket watch, and then she began to run towards the bright city in front of her.

Under the bright lights, Veronica quickly approached Castonas, and as she got closer, she saw greenskin-style camps and an astonishing number of greenskin orcs on the outskirts of the city.

Compared with the periphery, the greenskin orcs here are much stronger in both quality and quantity, and the density of greenskin warlords is also very high. Therefore, the territory that the greenskin warlords can control is much smaller than those greenskin warlords outside.

However, due to the high density of greenskin warlords, more powerful warlords were born here.

Standing like a shadow at the highest point of the greenskin building, Veronica looked at the densely packed greenskin orcs fighting each other below, and then looked up at a large greenskin warlord supported by several greenskin warlords.

Has the green-skinned warlord mentioned in the intelligence released by the military already been born in the core area?

Veronica frowned, sensing the great warlord's strength, then looked up at the bright shield in front of her, and shook her head with some regret.

If Castonas fell, she would try to assassinate the warlord, but she cared more about the city in front of her than the warlord in front of her.

Without hesitation, Veronica transformed into a shadow, quickly swept across the battlefield, and arrived at the edge of the city.

Looking at the shield of command in front of her, Veronica looked at it thoughtfully.

Well, I don’t understand it at all.

Veronica read it over and over again, but she just couldn't understand it at all. Before undergoing the original body surgery, she was just an ordinary first-level extraordinary person, and the only extraordinary education she received was the basic education in the village.

The education in a village of half-elfs with a population of less than 200 and whose strongest person is only at the third level is naturally average. Even after she became the primarch and was trained by Roland for a period of time, she was still considered illiterate compared to the extraordinary people of the same level.

However, although she couldn't understand it, Veronica had a hunch that the shield couldn't stop her. If it was daytime, it might not be possible, but it was still dark. Veronica picked up the pocket watch and pressed the second button, while mobilizing the power in her body.

Technique: Traveling through the shadow world.

Veronica's figure completely blended into the darkness and disappeared. After entering a world full of shadows, looking at the colorless shield in front of her, she seized the time and quickly passed through the shield.

After passing through the shield, Veronica immediately ran to a shadowy corner of a house and then released the technique.

Veronica's figure emerged from the shadows. She looked up at the beam of light in the distance of the city, then frowned and glanced at the dilapidated surroundings that seemed to have no signs of life.

As soon as she came in, she noticed something was wrong. Looking at the ruins around her, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

It looks like things are not going smoothly here.

Veronica walked stealthily to the ruins, lowered her body, and gently stroked the broken stone pillar in front of her with her right hand, which had a lingering aura of magic.

Although a long time had passed and most extraordinary beings could no longer notice it, it was still very obvious to the Shadow Dancers, especially the Primarch.

After briefly analyzing the magic power in her hand, Veronica looked thoughtful.

This is not the magic of the green orcs.

Veronica walked lightly into the ruins, but as soon as she entered, she stopped.

Looking at the traces of techniques left on the walls inside the ruins, she probably knew who created the ruins.

This was not destroyed by the green orcs, but rather by the locals in the city. Moreover, it was most likely done by the nobles of Castonas.

After all, in Castonas, they are the only ones who can mobilize a large number of extraordinary people and cause such large-scale destruction. Other scattered extraordinary people certainly cannot do what they are doing now.

Veronica glanced around, looking at the ruins without any signs of fighting, and thought silently.

She walked through hundreds of meters of ruins and quietly entered a deserted residential area. Veronica leaned against the alley, looked at the deserted street, and raised her head to see the bright light in the distance.

What exactly happened here?

Hmm? Someone.

Veronica suddenly looked towards the sewer in the alley, and she noticed several life forms approaching.

Under Veronica's gaze, the cover of the sewer was slowly pushed open, and several figures cautiously poked their heads out.

Afterwards, they climbed out of the sewer after making sure there was no one around.

Without saying a word, they cooperated tacitly and quickly ran to an empty house nearby, quickly swept out all the things inside, and then threw them all into the sewer.

After quickly sweeping away several houses near the sewer, they quickly returned to the sewer.

Just now, when they opened the sewer to throw something away, Veronica also ran into the sewer, turned into a shadow and stuck to the wall, watching their operations silently.

Several people closed the lid again, and then began to drag various things that had been thrown into the sewer and moved them towards the depths of the sewer.

Veronica didn't hesitate and followed them.

Following their steps, Veronica went around here and there and successfully reached the depths of the sewer.

Then they opened the sewer cover again and carefully carried the things up.

Seeing this, Veronica didn't wait for them and slid up along the crack.

There were more than a dozen people on the ground. They were the response personnel, assisting the people in the sewers to pull all the things to the ground and then quickly move them into the house nearby.

Although they all looked very nervous, they moved in unison, made no unnecessary noises, and worked quickly.

After briefly glancing at them, Veronica, who had returned to the ground, raised her head and saw a bright castle exuding a noble atmosphere a thousand meters away.

Clean and tidy guards were patrolling the castle, and bright and beautiful convoys were waiting in the castle grounds. In all the convoys, dozens of strong horses were slowly eating concentrated feed mainly composed of wheat bran and beans.

Looking from afar, Veronica could see several servants in the shadow of the castle, looking at the horses eating concentrated feed with envy.

Veronica, who had experienced chaotic times and had also gone hungry, could roughly guess what the situation was like here.

For a city with a population of nearly ten million, surrounded by a green tide, considering the current situation, there is no need to think too much about what can happen.

However, just in case, you still need to find out more details.

After all, according to intelligence, there are farms in the city of Castonas, and it is said that the output is not low. It is said that even if it is surrounded, these farms can meet the food needs within Castonas.

And there are a lot of granaries built inside Castornas. Maybe it's not a food problem?
But it’s probably still a food problem.

After all, food might not be distributed to civilians, otherwise she wouldn't have been hungry every day.

There is only one chairman in this world.

Veronica glanced at the skinny civilian who was climbing out of the sewer beside her, then looked up at the fat first-level extraordinary person who had just walked out of the castle.

Well, as a superhuman being, you can still eat so much and gain so much weight, so it must be you.

Thinking of this, Veronica turned into a shadow and flew quickly towards the castle.
