Chapter 474: Ci Le's True Identity
The turbulent Miral River originates from the west of the wasteland.
After gathering countless small streams, it began to widen slowly near the Nield Pit.
From its original width of less than a hundred yards, the water surface gradually grew to nearly a thousand yards.
Of course, this is incomparable to the wide rivers in other areas.
But in the North, it is considered a river of life that nurtures countless lives around it.
The Miral River is not calm at all now.
On the river bank, half a day's journey away from Huiyao City, is a wide riverside plain.
But this is not a naturally formed alluvial plain.
Originally, the trees here belonged to the southern area of the Haze Forest, but they were all cut down in the early years of Huiyao City's development.
In order to obtain more wood, the unrestrained humans and halflings cut down the originally dense jungle into a bare area.
Most of the druids in the southern area are playboys who rely on their diplomatic skills to get a job.
All the abilities of these druids are concentrated on their mouths, so naturally they have no way to stop the logging army of Huiyao City.
It was not until the reign of Xuman's great-grandfather that the construction of Huiyao City was relatively saturated and this logging activity came to an end.
The Kingdom Knights' troops are stationed on this plain.
Tens of thousands of tents were densely packed in the open space without any shelter, which looked endless.
After having a hearty meal with his colleagues, Cile opened the door curtain and walked to the temporary combat command tent.
The scene in the giant tent was bustling with activity. Several clerks in charge of organizing information were running back and forth with books in their arms.
They need to quickly classify the information and deliver it to several commanders in the command center for review based on their importance.
Cile was not actually a member of the command.
To be precise, apart from a few generals in the command center, almost no one knew his true identity.
The centurions and soldiers who were traveling with him all thought that he was just a skilled and ruthless centurion cavalryman.
A commander who was frowning and looking at a document was awakened by the sunlight that suddenly shone into the tent and looked towards the door vigilantly.
When he saw Zile's face clearly, he winked at several of his colleagues.
It was obvious that this was not the first time that the generals around them had encountered such a thing.
They stood up in tacit understanding and called on the civilian staff running around to leave the tent.
In less than a moment, only Ziler and the commander were left in the entire command tent.
Seeing that everyone else had left, the commander hurriedly stood up from behind the desk, walked quickly to the front of Cler, and knelt on one knee.
"Your Highness, the Second Princess!"
Cler, who had come closer, did not respond to the commander's salute. He walked slowly to a chair and sat down, gently wiping his forehead with his hand.
It was as if some kind of spell was canceled, and the originally cold face of the middle-aged man suddenly turned into a handsome yet somewhat charming face.
"Commander, is there any news about the Fourth Knight yet?"
“Not yet, Second Princess.
The scouts who entered the Gray Haze Forest only found Lord Leon's heavy sword.
The heavy sword has been broken into two pieces. It should be because Lord Leon has been in a high-intensity battle..."
Cile - or rather, Her Royal Highness the Second Princess - had no expression on her face.
She glanced at the commander who was still on one knee, kneading her neck slowly.
"Has the weapon been recovered?"
"It has been recovered and is now in the care of the Seventh Knight, Lord Keon."
“Well… notify the Seventh Knight to lead 5,000 cavalry into the Gray Haze Forest tomorrow.
If the Fourth Knight or his armor is found, they will be recovered, dead or alive.
The rest of the troops are still under your command. If the cavalry of the Seventh Knight achieves victory, then move your entire army forward.
If not..."
The second princess gave a silent chuckle on her charming face and continued to speak in a mocking tone.
"Then we need to change the Seventh Knight."
The commander lowered his head, the fear in his heart making his knees tremble.
"Yes, Your Highness."
……
After several days of rest, Percy has fully recovered.
He had not experienced any battles before, but the long period of activating his bloodline power had completely drained his energy.
These days, Percy was recuperating from his injuries while thinking about his next plan.
On the banks of the Miral River, Percy witnessed the power of "Big Sister" with his own eyes.
Just a five-ring spell released simultaneously by ten divine magicians was enough to directly kill nearly five hundred cavalrymen.
If the troops behind had not had time to cross the river, more enemies would have died from the [Sonic Explosion].
But these are not what Percy cares about most.
He learned from "Big Sister" that Ivan and Xiuman were in the Elf Courtyard.
This meant that Xiuman had to temporarily abandon Huiyao City because of the Kingdom Knights' march north.
If that's the case, I have to hurry up and do something to help my half-brother.
However, even if I went to the Elf Courtyard, it would only be a drop in the bucket.
It is difficult for one person to change anything, especially when facing an army of 50,000... now 80,000 people.
Unable to think of any good plan, Percy decided to go to the dark elves' city wall.
He was full of curiosity about the magical weapons in the hands of the city guards.
It just so happened that Feilin, who had been staying in the Breath of the Moon Sea and had dealt with Percy several times, saw this abyss species who rashly walked up to the city wall.
"Percy? What are you doing here?"
As one of the first dark elves to master the spell of [Clairvoyance], Feilin is now in charge of a city defense team alone.
As a warrior from the former first family of Mosobre City, she also really enjoyed dealing with this abyss warrior.
Occasionally, he would practice with Percy in his free time, exchanging the dark elf's dual-wielding sword skills for Percy's shield fighting skills.
“Ha! Ms. Flynn!
I was so bored staying in the temple that I decided to come here to get some fresh air."
The curly-haired young human's pupils had a faint orange tint, a sign that the tiefling had activated darkvision.
Faeline tilted her head and smiled at Percy.
"You will be greatly disappointed. You can't see the same scenery on the underground city walls as on the surface."
After she said this, she pointed apologetically at the large stone pillar beside her.
Now it is her turn to be the observer of this section of the city wall, and she needs to maintain her spiritual vision at all times.
"That's right... the air underground is also more turbid than on the surface.
It seems that the abyss blood in my body is not strong enough, otherwise I could enjoy the darkness of the underground world like those demons in the endless abyss. "
After joking with Faline, Percy slowly walked to the arrow stack outside the city wall.
"It's really... too quiet... Uh, Feilin, is there something wrong with my dark vision?"
Percy suddenly narrowed his eyes and tried to look into the distance.
"Why is there a whole area of red there?"
