Chapter 290 Rather Believe in the Contract

The army set off again, but because of the appearance of the dark elves, Roy made the army remain vigilant along the way.

What happened was not out of his expectations. The dark elven assassins that had escaped from Julia and Giovanni brought back information to the Shadowbrand clan, so in the following march, Roy and the others encountered more than ten waves of the dark elves’ attacks.

Let’s not talk about why it was so difficult to deal with dark elves. Roy’s large army was enough to launch a large-scale battle. Facing such an army, others could not escape in time, so how could they bump into it head-on?

However, the dark elves were just so stubborn!

They did not fight his army head-on but instead dispatched numerous assassins to set traps on the path that the army had to pass through. They set these traps in combination with the environment, and they were extremely hard to guard against. Once the traps sprang and caused the army to fall into chaos, these dark elven assassins would immediately appear and attack the group with poisoned crossbow bolts.

Their main target was the demon soldiers in Roy’s army. The undead and zombies were not among their targets. They wanted to use this method to reduce the living forces of the army.

Although the dark elves had to pay a painful price for every ambush, their frequent and endless harassment gave Roy a big headache. In particular, the demons he summoned had already fallen into a violent state because of these attacks.

“It seems like these guys are targeting us!” Roy sighed. “Do they think I’m easy to bully?” “No, it’s the opposite!” Benia giggled. “They probably think you and your army will pose a tremendous threat to them, so they’re attacking you tirelessly!”

Benia was very good at talking and flattered Roy without batting an eye. Although it sounded comfortable, it did not help. The nearest demon city was still more than two hundred kilometers away. At the speed of the army, it would take two to three days to get there. If the dark elves were allowed to continue being so rampant, his army would probably be in a sorry state when it reached the demon city.

This would be Roy’s first time coming into contact with Sheogh demons, so of course such a situation could not happen. It would make the Sheogh demons look down on him.

I have to kill them. At least, I have to teach them a painful lesson and make them feel fear! Roy thought about who he should get to go.

After thinking about it, he summoned Rafaro. “Rafaro, I believe you should know the information that I obtained from the dark elf!” Roy looked up at Rafaro. “This Shadowbrand clan has obtained the recognition of the Daughter of Malassa, and you claim to be the son of Malassa. Perhaps you’ll meet an acquaintance?”

“Of course!” Rafaro said. “If there’s no mistake, the Daughter of Malassa mentioned by the dark elf should be the Malsara!”

“Is she your elder sister or younger sister?” Roy asked.

“Younger sister!” Rafaro did not beat around the bush and answered directly. “To be honest, I never thought that I would hear her name again after so many years.”

“Okay. Since she’s your sister, then it’s up to you to negotiate. Get her to warn the Shadowbrand clan not to harass me again!” Roy sneered. “I don’t have time to play with them, but if they insist on doing it, don’t blame me for being rude!” The dark elves lived in the underground world, and the underground world was complex, which was one of the reasons why Roy was unwilling to entangle with them. It was too difficult to find their lair, but it did not mean that he could not do anything. If the dark elves wanted to continue entangling with him, then he did not mind spending some time to deal with them. As long as he could find an entrance to the underground world, he could make them suffer a fate worse than death!

However, Rafaro shook his head in response to Roy’s order for him to go and negotiate. “Unfortunately, if Malsara sees me, it might have the opposite effect…”

“Oh? Why?” Roy asked in surprise.

“When I was still alive, I wanted to get Malsara to lay a nest of dragon eggs for me, but she was unwilling. I had no choice but to use force. I didn’t expect her to be so angry and fight me!” Rafaro said regretfully. “From then on, she and I became enemies. Although thousands of years have passed, with the vengeful personality of black dragons, she probably still remembers this matter. If I appear in front of her, I’m afraid she would make the entire Shadowbrand clan find a way to kill me…”

Roy was dumbfounded. F*ck! You actually forced yourself on your sister?!

Serves you right for becoming a bone dragon. Is this foreshadowing of you visiting a German orthopedic[1]?
