Chapter 261: Night of madness
Ordinary earth mages could use the power of the earth to form all sorts of attacks. The earth element’s forbidden magic “Falling Meteor” and “Rage of the Earth” even had the terrifying power to destroy a city. Yet, despite the earth mages being able to use the earth element to conduct all sorts of attacks, they were still unable to use the earth’s power as flexibly as the earth elite zombie.
As the favored child of the earth, once the earth elite zombie stepped on the ground, he could use the earth elemental energy to commit a lot of magical and wondrous things. It wasn’t hard for him to use the power of the earth to form tunnels underneath the ground.
When a tunnel appeared out of nowhere, Trunks knew that it must lead towards the mine.
The four powers of the Valley of Sunshine were currently locked in intense battle in order to claim the silver mine. Yet, the appearance of such a tunnel allowed Trunks and the others to directly enter the innermost location without any trouble at all.
“Understood!” Trunks chuckled, then let out an eagle-like shriek. Due to the clamor from the heaven shaking fighting within the valley, Trunk’s shriek didn’t seem out of the ordinary.
Through the yin demon’s surveillance, Han Shuo was able to see Grant and the others snap to attention after hearing Trunk’s shriek, then immediately move vigilantly towards the inside of the valley.
“Roar!!”
The berserk Laureton howled towards the sky and hurled the battleaxe from his hands, causing a piercing, radiant light to enclose seven people from the Rainbow Sickle Mercenary Band. All of the people that were covered in his light had their body torn savagely into pieces, blood spraying all over Laureton.
“Be careful of Laureton. If I’m seeing correctly, what he’s holding should be the divine weapon of the Berserkers – Berserker’s Battle Axe. Laureton is already a powerhouse who can become berserk twice over. Legends says that a berserker with the berserker’s Battle Axe can use its power to enter the berserk mode once again.”
“A berserker who can become berserk three times is definitely stronger than a great swordmaster. I think he is going to be the hardest to handle in the valley, even Ferguson might not be his opponent, so you definitely have to be careful of him,” Trunks couldn’t help but remind Han Shuo the moment Trunks saw the enraged, muscle-bulging Laureton release a terrifying aura.
Han Shuo actually became rather interested in trying after hearing Trunks’ words and said softly, “A berserker who can become berserk three times, hehe, that’s rather interesting!”
“There’s also those Katar orcs, be careful not to become surrounded by them. Otherwise, when their totems hit the earth, they will form a very terrifying shockwave. Once you are swept by the impact, it would be very difficult to live,” As an old hand in the valley, Trunks was quite clear about the different faction and couldn’t help but remind Han Shuo after seeing that the battle in the valley had officially started.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep it in mind. Be careful when you go inside. I’ll have the earth elite zombie follow you guys so that if your movement is exposed, you can leave from the tunnel immediately. With the earth elite zombie underground, your safety should be fine,” Han Shuo gazed at the group of people excitedly as bloodlust gradually rose from the depths of his heart. After saying that to Trunk, he immediately walked towards the insides of the valley in a ghostlike manner.
Seeing that Han Shuo had left, the little skeleton walked over to the earth elite zombie’s side and patted his shoulders, then followed Han Shuo as usual.
In Gilbert’s eyes, this wasn’t anything special, since this wasn’t the first time he saw the two beings communicate. However, Trunks faced with this obvious jarring of common sense, he exclaimed once again when he saw the little skeleton’s strange actions.
“Chief, what is it?” Grant couldn’t help but ask after rushing over when he saw Trunk’s weird expression. Trunks remained dumbly looking at the little skeleton’s departing back.
“No-Nothing, all of you follow me,” Trunks smiled wryly and shook his head, then he waved at Grant before walking down into the tunnel.
The earth elite zombie was very intelligent. The moment he saw Trunks jump down, he went further into the darkness and led the way in front.
“What-What is going on, why is there a tunnel?” Grant couldn’t help but exclaim with a face full of shock when he came down and saw an endless tunnel.
“Don’t ask so much, just hurry!” Gilbert yelled, then immediately followed Trunks into the tunnel.
All of the mercenaries who’d come down were extremely confused, but once they got over their surprise, they all filed into the tunnel. After everyone had entered, the tunnel closed miraculously without a trace.
Meanwhile, the valley was in chaos. The hundred something elites from the four significant powers of the Valley of Sunshine were crashing together. When Han Shuo neared that area in interest, he found that the situation had changed in an odd way, completely out of his predictions.
Originally, due to the earth elite zombie’s actions, the other three forces had rushed towards the Rainbow Sickles. Out of them, the Cairo mercenaries with ferocious war god Laureton as ferocious as a war god and slaughtered the Rainbow Sickles, who had no corresponding expert. Even though the Rainbow Sickle Mercenary Band had the advantage in numbers, if the House of Menlo and the Katar orc tribe had also attacked together, the Rainbow Sickles would have been in dire straits.
However, the situation wasn’t like that. The House of Menlo and the Katar orc tribe that had rushed forward with Laureton’s mercenaries all defected once they neared the Rainbow Sickles. With an explosive roar from Adam Menlo and Katar, the experts from the two forces all started attacking the Cairo mercenaries.
“Wahaha, Laureton, Laureton, you never would have imagined this, right?! The real target is your Cairo mercenary band in today’s fight. You finally left the Valley of Sunshine, so don’t think about going back, haha…” Florida of the Rainbow Sickles suddenly laughed maniacally. As he floated in the air, his loud voice passed to every single corner of the valley.
“Times have changed, the Cairo mercenaries has controlled the Valley of Sunshine for too long. No matter what, you have to move a little,” Adam Menlo’s, the master of the House of Menlo, sinister voice also rang out as he flew towards Laureton on a great golden-winged roc.
The circumstances had changed shockingly. It seemed like the Rainbow Sickles, Adam Melo and the orc tribe had all come to an agreement. The intense argument beforehand was only a way of covering the fact that these three forces had already set their target on Laureton’s Cairo mercenary band in secret.
Those accompanying Laureton were the most elite berserkers of the Cairo mercenary band. Out of the fifty-something people, there were twenty berserkers who had the ability to become berserk once, and four of them, including Harris, had the ability to become berserk twice. Add to that the presence of the four archmages and three swordmasters they’d recruited over the years, it meant that the majority of the strongest people from the Cairo mercenaries were all there.
