Chapter 56 Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy

  Luo Wei stayed alone behind a clump of shrubs outside the Black Pine Forest, quietly waiting for the return of the mountain girl Ge Luoxianni.

  After her emotions stabilized, Gloxenia volunteered to go scout out the remaining members of the Defeated Blood Blade thieves' gang in the Black Pine Forest outside the Ancestral Spirit Valley, to see if they had entered the valley or were still lingering in the forest.

  Although Guronnie is not yet recognized as a mountain warrior, her agile hiding and tracking skills in the mountains, like a leopard, make Rovi have to sigh that she is simply a natural-born scout hunter.

  This made Rovei sigh, and he couldn't help but think that Robin Hood, the skull-and-crossbones archer, was a lucky charm who had accidentally hit the mark. If it weren't for that stray arrow, how could Rovei have possibly discovered Grolina earlier?

  After making sure that Glosoni was calm, Rovi nodded to allow the request proposed by Glosoni. Of course, before the mountain girl set out to investigate, Rovi had to instruct her for a while, requiring her not to startle the snake in the grass.

  The main force of the Blood Blade bandits, although they were all exploded in Asrat, but how many remaining Blood Blade thieves are left is still an unknown number for Rovi, and he must be careful.

  Luoyi wondered if his undead body could die once or twice.

  What is the ultimate of being cautious?

  Know yourself, know your enemy, a hundred battles won't be in danger——the wisdom of the predecessors is crystallized in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, which has long been interpreted with just a few simple words, and has been passed down for thousands of years.

  Luovi was very clear about his own situation, he had been walking on the elite route all along, and in the past few days, he had been attacking the large earth spirit dens along the way to seize the soul fire. At the same time as greatly increasing the strength of the undead servants, it also allowed Luovi to command those several undead servants with ease.

  So knowing this, Luo Wei barely managed to do it.

  Since you know him, the difference is just knowing him now.

  So, even if Glorencia didn't take the initiative, Rove would probably ask her to run this errand as a scout anyway. After all, annihilating the remaining strong thieves of the Blood Blade was beneficial for both him and Glorencia, he didn't believe she would refuse...

  Rovi's patience was sufficient, and after quietly waiting for almost an hour, he finally waited for Guronie to return silently from the Black Forest.

  "Those damned Kadorians are indeed in the Black Pine Forest!" Returning to Rovi's side, Gloriana said with an admiring tone: "They set up eleven tents at the deepest part of the Black Forest where it borders the Ancestral Valley, all of which were stolen from our Emerald Unit! I saw twenty-three different Kadorians moving around outside the tents, eight of whom wore metal breastplates. Whether there are other Kadorians inside the tents or not is unknown, as I observed for a long time without seeing..."

  "Twenty-one people at the event? Eight of them wearing metal breastplates?"

  Luovi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, the price of metal armor wasn't cheap after all. In his view, anyone who could afford to wear a metal breastplate had to be at least at the level of Black Iron mid-tier or above.

  "What common characteristics do those Gadarenes who wear metal cuirasses have?"

  Rovin remembered clearly that among the Blooded Blade bandits who attacked Aslart, only three people besides their leader Slrod wore half-body metal armor, while the rest of the bandits wore leather armor at most with a circular iron plate inserted into the chest as a breastplate.

  For this reason, Rovio asked if the eight metal breastplate wearers had any common characteristics, as he suspected that these cuirassiers might have come from the mountain city of Kandia.

  The so-called "Blood Blade" thieves' gang was actually a treasure-hunting team set up by Baron Ferro of Kandia to explore the ancient battlefield ruins under the guise of banditry. If Slade could borrow a knife to kill Baron Ferro, wouldn't that clever Baron Ferro send someone else over again?

  "Hmm..." Gloreanni thought seriously for a moment before answering, "Those metal-clad Kadorians wore cloaks with two black bird heads embroidered on them."

  Are they all wearing cloaks with two black bird heads painted on them?

  Luoyi's heart sank slightly, as the uniform attire meant they came from the same organization, and the identities of those eight men wearing half-body cuirasses were already on the tip of his tongue.

  Eight obviously systematically trained thoracic infantrymen, even if their strength is only mid-black iron, are still a force that cannot be ignored.

  This was clearly not good news for Rove, at least not until he had turned those breastplate warriors into undead breastplated infantry.

  "Kaloghanni, didn't you see that one I was telling you about, the one-eyed brown-haired Khatonian with a double-bladed battle-axe?"

  Rovin continued, the Kadori he had described in detail were actually the remnants of Slareloth's defeated Blood Blade gang that had attacked a slave trader's caravan, leaving behind one of their bronze-tier lieutenants.

  "Hasn't been seen, the guy you're talking about, might have already entered the Ancestral Spirit Valley?"

  Gloriana shook her head, and the reason Rovin had specifically reminded her earlier was that she had carefully searched for a Kaldorian who met the conditions of "one-eyed brown hair using double-bladed battle axe" during the investigation, but none of the twenty-three people met these three conditions.

  "There's that possibility." Rove nodded in support of Glosannie's guess, but immediately added: "However, we should consider that the guy happened to be sleeping in his tent at this time."

  Knowing that the Bloodletter Gang had received "foreign aid", this Bronze-ranked bandit leader's position in Luo Wei's mind was upgraded from a major trouble to someone who must be eliminated at all costs.

  "Glaurung, how many archers did you see?"

  So Luo Wei asked again.

  "There were at least twelve of them, and two more crossbowmen."

  Gloria answered very affirmatively,

  "What a hassle..."

  Luó Wéi accidentally expressed his inner thoughts.

  For spellcasters, a well-trained archer is absolutely a headache.

  Just then, Ge Luoxi suddenly patted her own head again -

  "Ah, right, Lovi, next to the eleventh tent, there were many more corpses, although none of them wore metal armor, but seven or eight of the corpses had cloaks with two black bird heads painted on them."

  As Gloria said.

  Before Gloriana's voice had fallen, Rove's eyes were already shining.

  For necromancers, corpses were always a pleasant thing, especially in the situation Rove was currently in.

  "Listen, Glosoni, I've thought of a way to wipe out all those people without leaving any survivors. However, in order to successfully carry out this plan, I'll need your help..."

  Ruo Wei looked into Ge Luoxi's eyes and said.
