Chapter 516 - 276: Black Dragon! Black Dragon! (Part 2)

"General Kobataen?" Laisa expressed confusion.

"Hey, don’t ask. Anyway, not letting you through is for your own good."

"But we just saw a team of adventurers heading this way; they should be returning to the surface through the Moritan Ancient Tunnel as well." Laisa pointed towards the tunnel and questioned again.

"That’s different." The young Wanderer shook his head, "They are an adventurer group from the Empire."

"What? Does an adventurer group from the Urein Empire get special treatment?" Laisa became even more furious and retorted.

"Don’t argue with me; it’s the Empire’s order."

"You!"

Just as Laisa intended to say more, Raine’s voice came from behind:

"Forget it, Laisa, come back for now."

"Thank you for letting us know." Raine’s expression was as calm as water, and he nodded slightly to the Wanderer before turning to lead his team away.

As Raine and his group left, Wanderer Charles shook his head, as if talking to himself, he muttered quietly:

"Blame it on your bad luck!"

"Damn it, a family ranking lower among the drow elves actually sent four high-tier priests at the Extraordinary Level for revenge."

"Fortunately, Lord Kalman informed General Kobataen. Otherwise, the Empire’s plan to hunt the black dragon would definitely collapse this time."

"Now, being cautious is no overreaction."

At this moment, Charles suddenly froze, as if sensing something. He quickly pulled out a communication crystal from his pouch and listened intently:

"Charles, hurry! We’ve been ambushed by drow elves here. Judging from the emblem, it seems to be drow elves from the Hernet Family!"

"Retreat and report immediately, Charles, hurry!"

"Oh no, there are High-Tier Transcendent beings among them!! Vincent, run!! Ahh!!"

"Zzzz—"

After that, there was no more sound.

The tragic cries of his companions instantly changed Charles’s expression drastically.

The area Vincent and his team were guarding was at a crucial junction, so three of the six-member team, including a Shield Armor Warrior, Caster, and Priest, were stationed there.

But now it seemed that they were wiped out in just a few seconds.

With trembling hands, Charles tried to contact the people of the 14th Legion of the Empire immediately.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to contact his superior, the Wings of Brilliant Sky from the Silver Battle Group, but everyone from the high command, including Transcendent Paladin Lord Kalman, had gone west due to the movements of the Belendaan drow elves.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

A drow guard riding a giant darkfang spider shook the blood off his fine sword, quickly returned, and reported to Siriel and Guard Captain Narrell:

"Masters, the three human adventurers have been dealt with."

"However, we detected someone utilizing crystal communication; it is likely more human adventurers will follow."

Hearing this, Siriel nodded.

The battle that lasted less than ten seconds just now was thoroughly observed by her.

Though the human adventurers before her were strong, they could only be considered skilled hands at most. Even if they came in larger numbers, they posed no real threat to them.

"Set up alert traps and conceal our tracks."

"Yes, Master."

But just at this moment, Siriel suddenly looked up at the mushroom forest on both sides because she heard the sound of dense footsteps.

Sure enough, under Dark Vision, she quickly saw two platoons, totaling over fifty individuals wearing noticeably standardized armor, rushing toward them from several hundred meters away.

"Hmm? Is this a human army?" Upon seeing this, Guard Captain Narrell was also somewhat surprised.

"Yes, and it’s the uniform of the Urein Empire." Siriel’s eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke.

Since the conflict between the Bane Family and the Urein Empire, Siriel and the Hernet Family’s upper echelon had been closely monitoring the war’s progression.

With the recent oracles from the Goddess Rose, Siriel had proactively learned more about the Urein Empire.

She instantly recognized the style of armor the opponents were wearing.

"The Urein Empire?" Guard Captain Narrell was even more surprised by this discovery.

Soon after, he raised an eyebrow as if he had a realization, saying, "Could it be that the thief also comes from the Urein Empire? Otherwise, how can the gathering of such a force here be explained?"

Regarding Guard Captain Narrell’s deduction, High-tier Priest Siriel nodded, as she basically agreed.

"No need to guess, capturing a few alive will tell us."

Suddenly!

"Roar!!"

A roar distinctly laden with anger came from afar.

Even though the source of the sound was several kilometers away and weakened by the overlapping dark terrains, both Siriel, Guard Captain Narrell, and the other drow elves, as well as the nearby soldiers of the 14th Legion of the Urein Empire, could sense the roar’s solemnity, depth, and power, akin to the combined pounding of hundreds of drums made of leather!

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in astonishment towards the direction of the sound.

"That sound just now was..." As a High-Tier Transcendent, Siriel was also shocked!

"Black dragon! It was the black dragon’s roar!"

"Damn it, is the Urein Empire besieging the black dragon?"

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Raine and the others had just sat down under the cap of a giant mushroom tree, intending to have some food, when a bellowing roar came closer. Everyone present stiffened instantly, then instantly jumped to their feet, looking solemnly in the direction the sound came from.
