Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Chapter 133 This is a different price, swordsman duel!

Before the Nationalist government team arrived, the road had already been cleared once, and the number of dead was no longer so high.

Soon, the team successfully reached the camp five kilometers away. With the subsequent deployment of combat personnel, the team also began to advance towards the high ground fifteen kilometers away!

Behind the high slope lies a group of poisonous golden mummies, skilled in poison-based techniques, making them quite troublesome, and precisely the target of the Kyushu National Government team.

"Shouldn't we let the main force know and ask them to cover us as we detour around to the back of the high slope?" Nan Jue suggested.

"There's no need," Cheng Xiao shook his head.

Nan Jue instantly understood what he meant, gave a soft "oh," and made no further suggestions.

Instantly, all the members of the Kyushu National Government team understood Cheng Xiao's meaning and obediently followed behind him.

After many months, the captain is finally going to show his skills again.

..............................

"Huh? Weren't the Kyushu National Guard supposed to deal with the Poisonous Golden Mummy? Why are they just rushing in like this?" East Legion's Wankos frowned and said.

Upon hearing this, Staff Officer Fenner also looked puzzled and frowned slightly:

"Perhaps they have their own reasons!"

"Advisor, if you ask me, we shouldn't have entrusted such an important task to a group of students who are still in the training stage. They are too arrogant and don't know themselves."

Military intelligence officer Wankos looked displeased: "If they hadn't even reached the rear of the hill, they would have already been killed."

"When we deploy the barrier, the entire force will suffer; the price will be excruciating!"

"Since we've chosen them, let's continue to trust them," Fenner said slowly.

"That captain of the Kyushu National Guard is the one who personally killed the Cardinal. Let's hope he brings us a surprise."

Legion Vankos frowned.

He did not deny Cheng Xiao's achievements, but this was, after all, a war against the undead, and the slightest carelessness could lead to the annihilation of the entire army!

Cheng Xiao has great achievements and reputation, but he is too young and has no experience compared to these veteran generals who have been through many battles.

Just as Legion Commander Vankos was about to say something, the soldiers in front let out a shocked cry.

"What are those black things that are emitting white steam?!"

"Undead! These things also possess the aura of death; they are undead too! But they are definitely not native Egyptian undead!"

"General-level! All of them are General-level! There are at least several hundred of them; this scale is probably equivalent to several elite units!"

"The direction those black undead appeared from seems to be towards the location of the Kyushu National Government team!"

"."

The noise drew the attention of staff officer Finner and military intelligence officer Vankos.

Hundreds of warrior-level undead appeared in the direction of the Kyushu National Government team, overwhelming wave after wave of Egyptian undead!

This scale of deployment has completely overturned the Egyptian army's understanding!

There are high-level summoning mages in the army who can also summon a summoning frenzy.

Even a high-level summoner can only summon a far smaller and more powerful army than the shadow army before them!

"Surprises always happen when they least expect them," Staff Officer Fenner laughed at the sight.

The military intelligence officer, Wankos, was dumbfounded. He even suspected that the person who summoned these undead was a necromancer of a higher class.

The fact is, there is a mage who possesses a shadow legion capable of sweeping away thousands of troops and being invincible.

He was just questioning the captain of the Kyushu National Team, who was currently undergoing training.

"Now I finally understand why the Cardinal died at his hands," Fenner said.

She wasn't surprised how powerful the young man was or what kind of trump cards he had that allowed him to kill the cardinal.

But the scene before her still amazed her.

..............................

Under Cheng Xiao's leadership, hundreds of warrior-level shadow soldiers and the Kyushu National Government team charged towards the high slope.

The spirits that had been blocking the way have been mostly cleared away.

After crossing the hillside covered in yellow sand, you will see a large expanse of golden-green creatures shimmering in the sunlight.

That was the Poison Gold Skin of the Poison Gold Mummy. This group of mummies was actually laid out on the high slope, almost covering the entire long slope.

From a distance, it looks as if the entire slope is covered with gold and green tiles!

The sleeping Poison Mummy only awoke when the Shadow Soldiers and the Kyushu National Government team stepped onto the slope.

The Poison Gold Mummy let out a piercing, shrill scream like a ghostly infant, its open eyes a deep crimson.

They looked at the Kyushu National Government team, then collectively opened their mouths and spewed out waves of poisonous mist.

Mind control—disperse!

Cheng Xiao's eyes flashed with silver light, and he actually used his powerful spatial telekinesis to push the poisonous tide back.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of warrior-level shadow soldiers swarmed forward, frantically trampling and killing the Poison Gold Mummy!

"A commander-level poisonous mummy!" Jiang Shaoxu said, pointing to the windy spot on the hillside.

"It's just a little commander, Bell, tear it apart," Cheng Xiao said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Bell, lurking within the Shadow Legion, eagerly charged toward the Commander-level Poison Mummy.

The Poison Gold Mummy is just a minor commander; with Bell's current commander-level strength, he could easily kill it.

In less than a few minutes, the Poison Gold Mummy on the hillside, as well as the Commander-level Three-Eyed Poison Gold Mummy, were completely wiped out.

Cheng Xiao single-handedly managed to destroy the poisoned gold mummy, a feat that would have required a tremendous effort from the Egyptian army. This left the Egyptian army in awe.

"You've really surprised us a lot. Could you do us another favor and act as our vanguard to help us clear out the Fiends on the high ground?" Fenner said.

"That's a different price," Cheng Xiao said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

"no problem."

Without a second thought, Fenner agreed.

A mage of Cheng Xiao's caliber is worth several elite troops; paying a little more is absolutely worth it!

..............................

The Kyushu National Government team has been reassigned from the flank attacking team to the vanguard.

On the high slope, many creatures clad in black corpse armor roamed.

They were entirely black, wielding long swords, and somewhat resembled shadow soldiers.

But the eyes of these Fiend Sword Death Servants gleamed with a captivating red light, carrying a strong sense of ferocity!

"Your Majesty, leave these sword servants to me," Jagrit volunteered.

Perhaps it was seeing that the other party was also a sword-wielding undead that aroused Jagrit's fighting spirit.

Cheng Xiao did not refuse, letting Yegliet do as he pleased.

The Fiend Sword Death Servant moved with an eerie gait, his figure equally strange and unpredictable, elusive yet exuding an immense sense of power.

Without any fancy moves, Jaeglit drew his longsword and clashed with the Wrathful Sword Death Servant!

The clash of the two longswords unleashed a powerful aura of death, and the outcome was decided in that single move!

The Death Knight was cleaved in two, destroying the Necromancer's Crystal, while Jagrit was unharmed and even somewhat disappointed.
