Chapter 409 Castornas

Veronica stood on the top of the tree, looking 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 were 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,

What appeared in front of her was a somewhat chaotic and complicated picture.

As a strange device specially equipped for shadow dancers after the legion was mechanized, this small pocket watch stored a lot of functions, from basic timekeeping, guidance, to ability specialization and blessing.

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

Although it was a little small, it was not a problem for Veronica, the original body of the shadow dancer.

After silently calculating her approximate position, she reconfirmed the direction of advance, and then continued to move forward.

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

Then, the sunlight around her was slightly distorted, and with a breeze, Veronica, who turned into light, was moving forward rapidly.

Although she was a shadow dancer with a shadow core installed, generally speaking, the invisibility of a shadow dancer can only be carried out in a shadow environment, but the blood in Veronica's body affected the shadow core.

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

Therefore, under the influence of the sun elf blood, the shadow core changed, not only possessing the power of shadow, but also gaining a slightly weaker power of light, and because Veronica was the original body, the cores of other original body soldiers were derived from her.

Therefore, other shadow dancer soldiers also inherited this special situation and became a kind of original body 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. In addition to being a little more flexible, their actual combat power is affected and is much worse than Roland expected.

Although it is not quite the same as Roland expected, there is no way to start over, so after checking and finding that there is no problem, Roland just let it go.

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

Since Kan Ozu was killed by Roland, the green tide, which lost its leader, fell into a civil war that has never been seen until now. Although the border between the War Committee and the greenskins is relatively peaceful due to regular sweeps, the civil war still maintains a very high frequency inside the green tide control area.

The shadow dancers are all aware of this, because their job is to supervise and patrol the civil war situation of the greenskin orcs. More than 90% of the intelligence of the War Committee on the green tide is currently provided by them.

Moreover, the greenskin superhumans who rose from the killing, even the greenskin warlords, were basically assassinated by them secretly, especially the greenskin priests. According to Roland's order, the greenskin priests would be killed in seconds as soon as they showed their heads.

Although Roland did not think that the civil war of the Green Tide could produce a final winner, just in case, Roland still asked the shadow dancers to regularly clean up the superhumans inside the Green Tide, especially the greenskin priests who could use their brains.

Who knows if they will find other ways to unify the Green Tide.

However, due to the chaos within the Green Tide, the War Committee can only rely on the strongholds of the War Committee on the border and the space gates arranged in the Dragon Ridge Mountains to regularly sweep the periphery of the Green Tide. The core area has not been swept yet due to the distance.

Veronica ignored these greenskin orcs who were killing like crazy, and turned directly into light and shadow to cross the battlefield, ignoring them. At most, she killed the greenskin priests and greenskin superhumans she saw when she passed by.

From day to night, after crossing countless greenskin battlefields and running for an unknown distance, Veronica went deep into the core area of ​​the greenskin-controlled area and finally arrived at the destination.

Veronica, who blended into the shadows, stood on a tree branch, frowning and looking at the bright city in the distance.

Castonas, the capital of the Central Kingdom, the most dazzling pearl of Donnar, the origin of mankind, the first great city in human history with a population of more than one million. It is said that before the 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, in the mouths of 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 greenskin orcs, if it was really captured, how could it be like this now? Not to mention that it has become a ruin, but why is there still light?

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 various old people. In terms of orthodoxy and legal principles, the chairman who is not from Donnar cannot compare with them.

Although Veronica does not think that they can affect the position of the chairman, if the news gets out, the committee may have more unnecessary turmoil.

Or kill all the old men.

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

Let's wait and see, think positively, maybe the greenskins have learned to light up? However, just in case...

Veronica turned on the recording function of the pocket watch, and then she began to run towards the bright city in front of her.

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

Compared with the outskirts, the greenskin orcs here are much stronger in 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 outside.

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

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

Has the greenskin warlord mentioned in the intelligence issued by the military been born in the core area?

Veronica frowned, sensing the strength of the warlord, and looked up at the bright shield in front of her, shaking 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 turned into a shadow, quickly swept across the battlefield, and arrived at the edge of the city.

Looking at the shield of the 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 couldn't understand it at all. Before she received the original body surgery, she was just an ordinary first-level extraordinary person, and the extraordinary education she received was only the basic education in the village.

A half-elf village with a population of less than 200 and the strongest person was only the third level naturally had a mediocre education. Even after becoming the original body, she was trained by Roland for a period of time, but she was illiterate among the extraordinary people of the same level.

However, although she couldn't understand it, Veronica had a hunch that this shield couldn't stop her. If it was daytime, it might not be certain, but it was still night.

Veronica picked up the pocket watch and pressed the second button. At the same time, she mobilized the power in her body.

Technique - Shadow World Shuttle.

Veronica's figure completely merged 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 the shadow corner of a house, and then released the technique.

Veronica emerged from the shadows. She looked up at the light column in the distance of the city, and then frowned as she glanced at the seemingly lifeless and dilapidated surroundings.

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

It looked like there was no peace here either.

Veronica walked to the ruins invisibly, lowered her body, and gently passed her right hand across the broken stone pillar in front of her, which had a residual breath of magic.

Although it had been a long time, most extraordinary people could no longer detect it, but for shadow dancers, especially the original body, it was still very obvious.

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

This was not the magic of the green-skinned orcs.

Veronica walked lightly into the ruins, and stopped as soon as she walked in.

Looking at the traces of techniques left on the wall in the ruins, she probably knew who had created this ruin.

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

After all, in Castonas, only they could mobilize a large number of extraordinary people and cause such large-scale destruction. Other scattered extraordinary people would definitely not be able to do what they are doing now.

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

She passed through hundreds of meters of ruins and quietly entered a deserted residential area. Veronica leaned against the alley, looked at the deserted streets, and looked up at the bright light in the distance.

What happened here?

Hmm? Someone.

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

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

Then, after confirming that there was no one around, they climbed out of the sewer.

Without saying anything, they worked in perfect harmony and quickly ran to an empty house nearby, swept out all the things inside, and then threw them all into the sewer.

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

Just when they opened the sewer to throw things in, Veronica also ran into the sewer, turned into a shadow and stuck to the wall, silently watching their operation.

Several people closed the lid again, and then dragged all the things thrown into the sewer and began to move them,

walking deep into the sewer.

Veronica did not hesitate and followed them directly.

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

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

Seeing this, Veronica did not wait for them and slid up along the crack.

There were more than a dozen people on the ground. As the supporters, they were assisting the people in the sewer to pull all the things to the ground and then quickly move them into the house next to them.

Although they all looked very nervous, they moved in tacit coordination and worked quickly without making any extra noise.

After a simple glance at them, Veronica, who had returned to the ground, raised her head and saw a bright castle with a noble atmosphere a kilometer away.

The clean and tidy guards patrolled the castle, and a group of bright and beautiful convoys were waiting in the castle's open space. All the convoys added up, dozens of strong horses were bowing their heads and 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.

Having experienced the chaotic times and also going hungry, Veronica could roughly guess what was going on here.

A city with a population of nearly 10 million, surrounded by the green tide, combined with the current situation, there was no need to think too much about what could happen.

However, just in case, we still have to learn more about it.

After all, according to intelligence, there are farms in 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 of Castonas.

And there are a lot of granaries built inside Castonas. Maybe it's not a food problem?

However, it's probably still a food problem.

After all, food may 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 civilians who had climbed out of the sewers beside her, and then looked up at the fat first-level extraordinary who had just walked out of the castle.

Well, as an extraordinary, you can still eat so much, so it must be you.

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