I'M THE NECROMANCER KING
Chapter 135: Traces of the Arrival of an Expert
A line of soldiers numbering five thousand is seen heading towards the Kingdom of Srivijaya. The troops were fully dressed with shiny silver-colored battle armor. At the front was dominated by soldiers carrying shields and spears, some riding on horseback, while at the back were archers and some people with plans. In the center, the center of all three horse carriages was escorted by high-level experts and the top of the cavalry warriors. The train basically drove Queen Lilian along with five commanders from the Toran Kingdom to return to the kingdom of Stiwijaya.
The path they passed was supposed to be a safe detour, the enemy scouts should not be able to trace their whereabouts. The group passed the road in the middle of a high cliff where reportedly the residence of a group of bandits. The soldiers were on standby and monitoring the surroundings as soon as they entered the territory.
"Your Majesty the Queen, we have entered the Breccian Gorge territory. Just in case Commander Killin has sent out a surveillance team in the area." Hina who was on the white horse approached the carriage and reported to the queen.
Seeing how the woman acted quietly on the surface, wearing a slightly heavy armor suit, and carrying with her a sword in her pocket. Anyone who does not know himself well, would be wrong to think that actually Hina is not a female swordsman, but just a personal servant whose job is to take care of the daily needs of the queen.
"Hina, have you done the work I was given?" queen Lilian said in a soft tone, before she had opened a little window of the carriage. Peering from the inside, how the cliffs that hit the road they passed.
"My heart, indeed I have carried out that command at the previous rest. Only this should not be known by other people especially the Toran people. Else, it would incur dislike and hostility between the two sides. As my Queen knows, Commander Killin would be very upset to find out I let go of the delivery bird to go to the capital" Hina said.
Commander Killin strongly opposed it because it was too risky to divulge information on the whereabouts of the queen and their entourage. Given the diplomatic relations between the two kingdoms occurred in secret and suddenly, there should be no enemy scouts who knew as long as no information came in and out of the entourage.
"They say that this place is often used as the headquarters of the bandits hideout, but I have not felt any danger approaching." One of the green-hatted experts spoke to the other expert who had a white beard. The man basically has good vision ability, can detect everything within a range of hundreds of meters.
"No matter how you look down on those bandits, Garen, you shouldn't lower your guard when escorting the queen." The green hat man named Braum advised his friend, although he himself admitted that Garen had the qualifications to speak arrogantly like that, but the mission this time was focused on ensuring the safety of the queen, not just for his own sake.
"You overestimated the abilities of the bandits, Braum." Garen squealed and turned his best friend's face lazily. Then he drove his dark horse ahead of Braum, saying, "You better quit this job. For your own good."
For half a day the group passed through the road under a high cliff, there was no sign of any rumored bandits inhabiting the area. Several times the wreckage of tents and items were destroyed along the road they passed, strangely it looks like recently flattened by someone. It was confirmed directly by one of the experts in the team, a cloaked woman with an open cleavage, her name is Gloria. Indeed, the woman has the ability in terms of tracking, her sense of smell is very strong so close to the former items and worn tents. He sensed that about three or four days ago this place had the arrival of an extremely powerful expert.
Gloria was not an indiscriminate person, regardless of the identity of the daughter of a great noble in Toran Kingdom, like the other experts in the entourage, she was one of the blue-planned adventurers. Although this time his words sounded like bragging, no one dared to doubt his abilities, even for Garen's class.
"Could it be that our existence has been known to the enemy scouts? What does Commander Killin think about this?" Braum asked the commander, turning to the top of the cliff.
At a glance the middle-aged man was like sensing the air of the existence of someone from the origin of that place. Panicking, he immediately activated his sharp vision ability. But unfortunately, what he got was just an empty plain above the cliff, and there were no signs of life at all in that place. Braum sighed heavily as soon as he realized he was too anxious. After all, not far from where it is now there is Gloria, it should be that if there is a figure lurking up there, the woman has long smelled the smell of existence.
"What Garen said before it does have a point as well. It's time I started thinking about the right time to quit this job, given that I'm no longer young" Braum said in his heart, then he began to try to calm himself down.
