Message from Petran

About a hundred meters from the territory, five Dark Elf girls were moving slowly closer to Hikaru's territory. At this moment, the Dark Elf Princess suddenly ordered everyone to stop.

"What's wrong, Princess?" A confused girl looked at the princess.

The princess looked into the distance for a long time and then said, "I feel a huge amount of dark energy." Then she turned to the four girls and said, "Get that thing out."

The four girls immediately understood what "that thing" the Princess was talking about. Each dark elf girl took out a purple stone and placed it on the ground to form a square, and then placed the "Mist Lamp" in the middle.

The princess clasped her hands together as if in prayer, and started muttering an incomprehensible language. Then, the four purple stones surrounding the "Mist Lamp" joined together to form a square screen suspended in the air.

When the light of the Mist Lamp shined through the screen, it displayed the image of Hikaru's territory, and the screen acted as a television.

However, when all five Dark Elves saw the situation in Hikaru's territory, they were startled.

"This is terrible. Why are there so many undead monsters and necromancers?"

"Is there a war?"

"War? This is worse than war. I have never seen such a large number of undead monsters and necromancers. "

"Then will this territory be able to resist them?"

"Resist? I bet that in 10 seconds, the whole territory will be destroyed.

"Oh my God! I thought we could hide here, but...

The four Dark Elves continued to complain, but only the Princess remained silent. Her face showed not only fear but also hesitation.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

A dark elf girl suddenly asked. The princess was startled. She looked at the four Dark Elf girls and said, "How long can the Mist Lamp be active?"

One girl looked at the "mist lamp" for a long time and then replied, "About a day."

When the princess heard this, she continued to think. The other four girls also silently watched the princess, not daring to disturb her.

"Everyone stay here, I will find a way to infiltrate the territory." The princess suddenly spoke.

"No, you are the Princess of the Dark Elves. You can't risk your life like that. "

"Yes, if you go, we will go together."

…

The other four girls constantly advised the princess. She angrily shouted, "Shut up!"

The four Dark Elf girls were startled and fell silent, their faces clearly showing an apologetic expression. The princess sighed and continued, "Do you know what those Undead monsters and Necromancers are?"

The four Dark Elf girls shook their heads. The Princess sighed, then explained: "It's [The Punishment Legion of God]. When this legion appears, it means that the gods are angry and they want to destroy that territory. "

"But what does that have to do with your infiltrating the territory?" A girl suddenly asked,

The princess nodded and continued to explain: "[The Punishment Legion of God] doesn't last forever. They will disappear when the lord of that territory dies. "

"You mean..."

"Yes." The Dark Elf princess showed a confident smile and said, "I will infiltrate that territory and hide. And wait until the lord of the territory dies and the undead legion disappears, then control the survivors is easy. "

The four Dark Elves looked at each other, then looked at the Princess again, their faces still showing concern. One of them asked: "What if... the people in the territory kill their lord to get rid of the undead legion? That way, there would still be people who can fight, and you would be in danger. "

The Princess responded in a voice filled with confidence, as if everything was in the palm of her hand: "It's okay. That would be easier. If the people in that castle betray their lord, it means that their trust was fickle. As long as we use money, power, and women to trick them, they will definitely be controlled by us. "

"Remember, although we Dark Elfs aren't as strong as the Light Elfs, dealing with a few human nobles is easy. Besides, look at the territory. It's so small that it's not enough to call it a territory but just a castle. The lord and the people inside are surely just commoners. "

Listening to the princess' analysis, the four girls nodded in unison. They felt that her explanation was reasonable and could not be refuted.

So... while I infiltrate that place, everyone please find a place to hide for the time being." The Princess said

The girl holding the "Mist Lamp" gave the lamp to the Princess. However, the princess shook her head and said, "No need. The distance isn't far, and there's magic blocking the fog around the castle, so I'll be fine. If the mist entered someone's body, they would undoubtedly become an undead monster..I have a protective item, so staying in the fog for a short period of time shouldn't be a problem. "

After the princess said that, she put on her hood and walked into the mist. Seeing the Princess leave, the four Dark Elf girls looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

…

In the territory, Hikaru was waiting for the monster to attack when suddenly Rika spoke up.

[Master, please review your private messages.]

Hearing Rika's reminder, Hikaru opened his private message. Inside were a lot of messages that he hadn't seen yet, but there was one that caught his attention. It was a message from Petran.

"Petran? Why is he sending me a private message? "

Hikaru found it difficult to understand, but he opened it anyway.

...

Petran: Hikaru, I want to work with you to defeat Sherwin.

…

After looking at this message, Hikaru just kept silent, not knowing how to reply. He thought to himself: "Didn't Petran get defeated by Sherwin once? Now he wants revenge? Is Petran's new talent- so powerful that it makes him confident that he can defeat Sherwin?'

Hikaru used the skill "Scrutiny" to view the current Petran's information.

…

Name: Petran

Level: 20

Territory level: 01

Agility: 1,700

Strength: 2,300

Intelligence: 6,200

Talent: Ancient Hawk Eyes-UR+

Description 1: The ability to see treasure chests or hidden items through the fog.

Description 2: Can know a player's exact location and exact route to that player's territory (can only be used once per player).

Description 3: When meeting face-to-face, any player's memories can be seen (can only be used once per player).

Description 4: ...

Description 5: ...

…

Hikaru couldn't see all of Petran's information because his talent was UR+.

Although Petran's talent was not strong, it was an auxiliary-based talent. If it is well developed, I am afraid that Petran will be stronger than Sherwin due to his ability to gather resources.

However, what worried Hikaru was that Petran could know the exact location and path to another player's territory.

Hikaru frowned and thought for a long time before answering Petran.

…

Hikaru: "Why work with me? I was also defeated by Sherwin, and now I still can't beat him. I think you should find someone else to cooperate with. "

Petran: "Hikaru, you have no choice."

Hikaru suddenly thought of a situation he didn't want to happen. However, he still asked Petran to confirm.

Hikaru: "What do you mean?"

Petran: "Hahaha... I gave Sherwin your exact location. If you don't cooperate with me, Sherwin will come to find you after 5 days. I know you can pass through the "monster raid" event this time, but after that? Are you strong enough to withstand Sherwin's power? Don't worry, Sherwin has weakened a lot after coming out of the dungeon. After the event of the "monster raid," he definitely won't be our opponent."

Hikaru was almost cursed. This bastard thinks he doesn't know anything. If Hikaru didn't have the 'Follow' and 'Scrutiny' skills, then he would definitely hesitate and choose to trust Petran.

Hikaru took a deep breath and thought: 'If you want to act, I will play along with you.'

Hikaru: "Really?"

Petran: "Of course. I also have a grudge against Sherwin, but I want a 100% chance of defeating him, so I'm contacting you. "

Hikaru: "Why me?"

Petran: "Because your potential is the greatest. Besides, you also have a grudge against Sherwin. Don't you want revenge? Just kill Sherwin, and all his assets will be ours. Don't worry, you and I will split the resources gained."

'Bastard!' Hikaru couldn't help but scold Petran in his heart. With Petran's talent for acting, it would be a pity not to act in the movies. But it's a pity because I also have the ability to act. Hikaru suddenly remembered a saying he had heard before.

"Life is a drama, success or failure depends on your ability to act."

Hikaru very much wanted to accept Petran's invitation to cooperate and fight Sherwin. However, Petran told Sherwin the exact location and route to Hikaru's domain, and whether he refused or agreed with Petran would not change the outcome.

What if he told Sherwin about Petran? He didn't think Sherwin would believe him or that Sherwin knew Petran's intentions, as Sherwin was overconfident in his abilities.

Hikaru thought that Petran's only goal was to get in the fight between him and Sherwin. And that there could be three scenarios.

One, Petran would hide in the back and wait for Sherwin to defeat Hikaru. Although Petran will not receive any resources from Hikaru, he will know the specifics of Sherwin's strength.

Two, Hikaru would beat Sherwin. At that time, Petran can go to Sherwin's domain and take over all of Sherwin's resources. And Hikaru won't be able to stop him because he doesn't have the ability to see through the fog like Petran.

Three, Sherwin and Hikaru would fight to the point where they were both exhausted. And at that time, Petran will surely appear and destroy them both.

Either way, Petran would emerge as the true winner. And in this war, Petran is the master of the chessboard. And Sherwin and Hikaru are just pawns in his hands.
