Chapter 852: Chapter 515: Deputy Legion Commander Yalvis, the Rapids Tribe’s Reaction [Subscription Request][5K]

As shadowy figures burst out of the passage.

Baron Bezos raised the cross pendant.

The holy light rain gathered once again, dripping onto the ground.

The light rain emitted a sacred glow, illuminating the underground ruins brightly.

In such a circumstance, the Skeleton Knights filed out.

The restraining effect of the holy rain on the undead remained strong.

The first few Skeleton Knights to charge out were heavily suppressed.

Holy Light and undead death qi clashed, annihilating each other.

Amid the roars of lions, they activated the Lion’s Will.

Using shields to block the Holy Light Rain.

A clear stalemate surfaced at the scene.

However, this time the number of appearing Skeleton Knights was noticeably greater.

From deep within the passage, about more than twenty Skeleton Knights emerged.

Among them, about a third were Golden Lion Skeleton Knights.

In the center was a Skeleton Knight wielding a Shield Sword.

He too wore golden armor, yet his weaponry configuration was distinctly different from the other Skeleton Knights.

Moreover, the style of the battle helmet on his head was unique, adorned with several bright red feathers on top.

Even the passage of time could not cause these feathers to fade or decay.

The shield in his hand bore the badge of a lion’s roar.

Appearing relatively intact, it hadn’t suffered much damage.

Upon witnessing the Holy Light Rain upon appearing, the Skeleton Knight raised his shield.

A golden lion’s phantom emerged, letting out an earth-shaking roar.

This roar was undeniably intimidating, causing the cavern to tremble.

A golden light shield spread out, covering every Skeleton Knight present.

The Holy Light Rain fell onto the golden shield without inflicting any damage.

This indicated that the shield did not possess undead attributes.

It should be a purely defensive shield.

Once shielded, the Lion Skeleton Knights regained their mobility.

However, this time their intent to attack was considerably reduced.

All the Skeleton Knights looked solely to the one with the red feather helmet for direction.

They stood their ground, seemingly waiting for the red feather helmet to make the final decision.

Seeing this, Baron Bezos’s expression turned cold, and he simply tucked the cross pendant away.

"Something’s not right."

"It seems like there’s a big shot among these Skeleton Knights this time."

Zong Shen keenly sensed something amiss.

The golden Skeleton Knight with the Shield Sword was undoubtedly a formidable character.

His gaze lingered on that figure.

[Lion Skeleton Knight·Yalvis lv50(???)]

[???]

[???]

Oh my goodness!

All question marks!

This meant this red-haired battle helmet character was at least of Richardson’s tier.

And at a very high level.

To have attributes show as question marks, its level must be at least above level 50.

Could it be the Deputy Legion Commander?

Zong Shen entertained a possibility.

With Richardson as the Legion Commander leading the main force to the Azshara battlefield upfront.

This character known as Yalvis remained stationed at the base here.

At that moment, Yalvis suddenly emitted the dry sound of bones grinding.

"Kaka..."

This sound resembled an order.

All the Lion Skeleton Knights turned uniformly.

Protected by the golden light shield, they exited the passage.

They simply and decisively chose to flee collectively.

Baron Bezos: ...

Zong Shen: ...

Honestly speaking, this time the escape of the Skeleton Knights had nothing to do with Zong Shen.

"Reese!!!!"

"Teleport me!!"

Seeing the Skeleton Knights rushing out and entering the passageway leading to the ground.

Zong Shen quickly called upon the Intermediate Spatial Mage, Reese Ulysses.

She used teleportation to take Zong Shen to the pit edge.

Responding to his call, Reese Ulysses, standing not far away, quickly reacted.

A flash of blue light appeared, and she was beside Zong Shen.

Then she placed her withered hand on his arm, teleporting again.

She and Zong Shen vanished from the spot.

On the side, Baron Bezos seemed somewhat at a loss.

Zong Shen’s response was rather unusual, though he didn’t doubt anything.

At least from the surface situation, these Skeleton Knights clearly had nothing to do with Zong Shen.

Bezos was simply curious as to why Zong Shen would hastily pursue them.

Anyone else would merely find their escape bewildering and certainly not pursue recklessly.

Wouldn’t that be courting death without reason?

Baron Bezos didn’t understand but didn’t delve into it.

Upon confirming the Skeleton Knights had exited the passage, he immediately ordered reinforcements.

By then, Zong Shen had already teleported ahead with Reese.

Standing about a dozen meters from the pit, they watched the Skeleton Knights dash out.

Heading east, their momentum was exceedingly grand.

They didn’t attempt to conceal themselves at all.

This caught the attention of the Fishmen sentries.

Zong Shen saw seven or eight patrol squads gathering.

Fortunately, the Fishmen held a deep fear of the Lion Skeleton Knights.

Hesitating by the lake’s shore boundary posts, they showed no intention of getting involved.

To the east and west were both woods.

But the west was where he had concealed those Lion Skeleton Knights.

Currently, there were sixteen Lion Skeleton Knights, two among them formidable Golden Lion Knights.

Ten were from the previous batch not yet taken by airship.

The remaining six emerged from the second-to-last passage.
