The hunt had concluded, rendering this betrayer less significant to her.
Bayou's current focus lay on acquiring intelligence about the Goblin Kingdom.
Now tell me about the goblin kingdom's intelligence.
Seeing that only by you incin fo remained in the hall, the goblin Sato contemplated a feudal rebellion.
However, upon sensing Bayou's unfathomable aura, it suddenly realized that this foreign entity might very well be of royal lineage.
Slato glanced at the terrified Mary.
With a wild look in her eyes, urged Slato to comply.
Do not underestimate the goblin kingdom.
You are making an enemy of us all.
State your terms and we can negotiate amicably.
I can overlook today's actions.
What makes you think the Goblin Kingdom poses a threat to me? By gaze grew colder as she stepped forward, a glint of murderous intent emanating from her.
If cooperation was not forthcoming, then death would be the consequence.
After all, Mary, as a traitor, was still present, and by you doubted, she was oblivious to the goblin kingdom's whereabouts.
Slato, speak quickly.
I do not wish to die.
She is unlike any ordinary foreign entity.
Mary was on the verge of tears, baffled by Slato's inexplicable confidence.
Bayou sensed an unusual dynamic between the two.
While Chinfong informed her that Slato was the eldest son of the goblin king.
Such a high status.
Mary, you are too naive.
Her castle is so well concealed that our appearance here leaves us with no chance of leaving alive.
Slato solidified its resolve and reminded Mary that given the formidable strength of their opponent, it would never cooperate truthfully, even in death.
Indeed, as a member of the goblin royal family, Sato's acumen was markedly different from that of the mindless goblins.
Quite clever, are you? And you, do you share the same sentiment? Bayou turned her gaze back to Mary, clearly noting that this leader, who had transitioned from the mortal realm to the magical continent, lacked such fortitude.
By the way, if the goblin kingdom were to perish, do you think you could shed your identity as a traitor? I could promise not to kill you, provided you cooperate fully.
By words shown like a beacon of hope amidst the darkness, offering a glimmer of possibility to the despairing Mary.
The strength of the goblin kingdom is rather unimpressive.
Even if she willingly assumes the role of a traitor, it is improbable that she would choose to align herself with the Goblin Kingdom.
Given this, it is highly likely that she was coerced into becoming a traitor.
Naturally, she would wish to redeem herself.
I declare, I am willing to cooperate.
I implore you, do not take my life.
As anticipated, Mary immediately capitulated.
Mary, are you truly betraying the goblin kingdom? Before the words could fully escape Shea's lips, Bayou forcefully kicked him aside.
Step aside, Bayou approached Mary, observing her expression of sheer terror.
"What is your relationship with him? I am his wife of your own valition.
" Mary pondered for a moment, ultimately shaking her head.
This scene did not escape Sha's notice, and his green visage grew even more grotesque.
Ah, I knew it.
How could a human possibly be fond of such an unsightly goblin? If it were by force, it would make sense.
Bayou spoke as though to provoke Sheay deliberately.
Soon, under Bayou's inquiry, Mary divulged all the intelligence she possessed.
Her standing within the goblin kingdom was significant, granting her access to the power center and a wealth of information.
One final question, what is the strength of the goblin king? Does he possess royal level power? Bayou turned away, presenting her back to Mary.
Mary reflected, recalling what Sheay had once told her.
I cannot specify the exact level, but he certainly does not possess royal level power.
No sooner had Mary uttered these words than Sheay, gathering strength in the shadows, erupted into action.
With Bayou's back turned to him, and Chun foam distracted, no one could respond in time.
She's fist pierced through Mary's chest, for he could not allow a traitor of the kingdom to live.
It was only then that Bayou and Chun Fongo finally reacted.
As Mary's life force waned rapidly, she looked at Bayou with a pleading expression.
"I agreed not to kill you, but I never promised to protect you," Bayou replied with a sardonic smile.
In her dying moments, Mary finally comprehended the truth.
"How could she possibly outrun Sheay? It had all been deliberate.
" Mary succumbed to her fate, collapsing to the ground.
Sheay, on the other hand, wore a look of satisfaction, devoid of any fear of death.
This woman had completely shattered his reason.
He had believed he had found true love, only to discover that Mary was no different from any other goblin, merely coveting beauty and power.
A dark line traced across Shea's neck, and with a spray of green blood, his vision began to spin, ultimately coming to a standstill.
The intelligence of the goblin kingdom had diverged from by you's assumptions.
Firstly, the conditions set forth by the system for establishing a kingdom indicated that the goblin king did not possess royal level strength, contradicting the notion that every kingdom must have at least one royal level combatant.
Bayou found herself perplexed.
Moreover, according to the information Mary provided, there were no formidable forces surrounding the goblin kingdom.
Yet, they still chose to relocate, concealing the true goblin kingdom.
Although the eldest son of the goblin king Sha Ta has attained royal status, his strength remains lamentably feeble.
The goblin kingdom is rather weak, primarily due to its considerable distance.
Fortunately, the absence of an emperor level opponent simplifies matters.
Regardless of how many royal level adversaries there may be, they are merely fodder.
However, there is no need for haste.
Once the construction of the undead fortress is complete, Bayou intends to launch a formal offensive against the Goblin Kingdom.
Naturally, he will not overlook the city that has been revealed, which is none other than the former capital of the Goblin Kingdom.
It presents an ideal opportunity for experience accumulation.
The situation in the goblin kingdom differs from that of the dwarves as Bayu has directly located the capital of the goblin kingdom rendering any efforts to conquer other territories unnecessary.
Chunfong summon Chinua Arthur and Dachi and take two royal level allies to the revealed ruins of their former kingdom to accumulate experience and hasten our advancement to royal status.
Chapter 235.
the operation at Erd City.
As for the corpse of the assassin, Bayou summoned a death knight, a formidable ally capable of providing support regardless of distance.
Essential for a lone wolf.
In truth, Bayou ought to have summoned a necromancer as the need for defense was pressing.
The current demand for necromancers was nearly overwhelming.
Each could raise an army of the undead, transforming one into a legion.
The Emerald Hills, Aman City, and the territory of Sun Sha Shao, including Xiao Liua's Castle, all required royal level undead for their defenses, particularly in the Emerald Hills in Aman City, where war could erupt at any moment.
Having necromancers was almost indispensable.
Perhaps next time he would summon a necromancer.
However, at present, only by you himself could summon royal level corpses, as necromancers lacked that capability.
While the Blackwater altar could also summon, its results were random and less reliable than by Yu's targeted summons.
Bayou devised a plan before launching an assault on the goblin kingdom.
He would wait for his siblings, as well as Arthur and Dachi, to ascend to royal status.
Once they constructed the Necropolis, they could commence their offensive.
This strategy would maximize their gains.
Otherwise, deploying the army of the undead amidst the chaos of battle would complicate the acquisition of experience.
Bayan needed only to remain in the palace, awaiting their advancements in Hapuni province, Aman's city, ever since the nobility of the Firebeard clan was thoroughly eradicated.
The dwarven commoners under their rule rejoiced, and the city now thrived in peace and prosperity.
It is no exaggeration to state that Max and Gray had completely taken control of Aman City, located near the White Rock Mountains.
The dwarven fortresses surrounding the city had been dismantled with all the dwarven forces now gathered within Aman city.
Presently, the city boasted an army of 30,000 dwarves and 20,000 undead, bolstered by Max and a single necromancer, totaling two royal level defenders.
Their strength was undeniably on par with that of the former Aman city.
However, the equipment and defensive structures within the city were somewhat antiquated as all forging technology and personnel were firmly under the control of the nobility which allowed them to maintain their grip over the clan.
