1029: Chapter 609: Shadow Duel Arena_3 1029: Chapter 609: Shadow Duel Arena_3 Felen had not expected that the weakness would be countered by Efanso’s Necromancer.
Arms could never have imagined that the wealth he had accumulated over centuries was all being handed over to the Conqueror Army as a dowry.
The Conqueror Army demonstrated through their actions what it ant to grow stronger with each battle.
This was also why the Conqueror Army, despite knowing that a host of enemies awaited them in the Goblin Margins, showed no excessive fear from top to bottom.
They held too many cards in their hands, they never considered whether they might fail, but rather, how to minimize their own losses, especially in terms of personnel, and then gain more from the enemy.
Looking at the situation below, Simmon’s face was extrely ugly.
He wasn’t distressed about the monster soldiers being slaughtered below; those beings were never part of his forces, just like weeds by the roadside.
On the Felen Continent, if you have power and wealth, you can have as many as you want.
What he couldn’t accept was the irreversible situation.
The Monster Army of the Dark Castle wasn’t even facing the entire Conqueror Army, at most a third, and after thousands of casualties, they had barely managed to reach their front lines.
There had beco a thorough at grinder, where the Monster Army would continuously surge forward to be slaughtered.
Until the casualties reached a certain critical point, the entire Monster Army would completely collapse, and that would be the mont for their Heavy Cavalry to strike, as on a plain, two legs cannot outrun four.
If the Lizard Queen were also slain by the enemy, the Lizardfolk Army of Tun Marsh would collapse entirely.
All they needed to do was to firmly hold the Bridge of Human God in their hands, keeping the Lizardfolk confined within Tun Marsh.
The Legendary Ghost Witch Gathering of the Far Sea Marsh would find it hard to resist on their own, and they could only retreat back into the Far Sea Marsh.
Eventually, the other areas of the Goblin Margins would be left to be kneaded and sliced by the Conqueror Army as they pleased.
In the short term, the Dark Castle would be driven out from this area.
That was still the most optimistic developnt; if the Lizard Queen was terrorized by them, or if the Legendary Ghost Witch Gathering of the Far Sea Marsh defected to the Conqueror Army, the situation in the Goblin Margins would completely spiral out of control, sliding toward a direction that Simmon could not predict.
This possibility was not just imaginable; it was highly likely.
Because the shadow that resulted from their actions was extraordinary, the more Simmon watched, the more he felt uneasy, as more and more wisps of shadow continued to join the fray amid the battle.
At first, when the quantity was small, it was hardly noticeable.
Once the battle at the west end of the bridge exploded, and the Conqueror Army began to massively harvest the lives of those monsters, countless shadows floated out from the battlefield and joined in, noticeable even to the ordinary eye.
That was not just shadow but a stream of souls, belonging to those dead monsters.
What should have headed toward the City of Judgnt to await judgnt and guiding, had shockingly been forcibly diverted, the implications of which were sowhat revolutionary.
What ability was the Commander of the Conqueror Army using exactly?
If the Lizard Queen was finished off in that chaos, would she still be capable of revival?
Yet there were rumors that the young Baron had the ability to thwart enemy revival; could it be this sort of ability?
If that were true, then the Lizard Queen would really be in for a ti.
Simmon didn’t know; he still underestimated the situation a bit.
Gaven’s ability was not rely preventing revival, but also controlling it in his own hands, thereby controlling the Lizardfolk Army.
From the beginning, the Lizard Queen and her Lizardfolk Army were the primary target of the Conqueror Army; the previous distraction was specifically for their advantage, intended to misalign their engagents with the other two forces and to confront the Lizard Queen alone.
This plan was completely independent of the prior trade demand of the Crown Princess, entirely from the benefits of the Conqueror Army and the special ability that Gaven possessed.
The Lizard Court’s system, inevitably centered on the Lizard Queen, displayed absolute blind loyalty from top to bottom, obeying whatever command she issued, even if it was to turn their erstwhile enemies into allies.
This was simply the perfect opponent for the Undead Vengeance Realm; by taking them down and converting them to Nightshadow Form, a three-against-one situation turned instantaneously into two-on-two.
Moreover, the newly acquired Whore Slayer had a Shadow Duel Arena that was truly ideal for such situations.
Just, it was unexpected that although the Black Dragon was fat, it wasn’t dumb, hiding beneath the river surface to manipulate giant waves, sending out its cannon fodder for repeated probing.
The Shadow Duel Arena had only one chance for use per day, and without complete confidence, Gaven dared not act rashly.
If he startled that creature back to the Wild Border River and it retreated into Tun Marsh, finding another chance to finish her off would be ten tis, a hundred tis more difficult.
Left with no choice, he could only feign weakness.
Holding nurous strategies in hand, he also dared not use them recklessly, allowing her to send her cannon fodder army onto the Bridge of Human God until she felt sowhat confident of victory and couldn’t help but jump out.
That would be the mont for Gaven to act.
Before the Lizard Queen could release her first blast of Strong Acid Dragon Breath, Gaven pulled her into the Shadow Duel Arena.
This Shadow Duel Arena was quite similar to the Shadow Duel Gaven had in Efanso, with Arms in the city hall, entering a crevice between the Material Plane and the Shadow Plane, a Dinsional Space temporarily created with Shadow Energy, detached from the Material Plane but still reliant on it, serving rely as a vague background.
That ant, Gaven and the Lizard Queen were still on the Bridge of Human God, but this bridge was infinitely long, infinitely wide.
