Chapter 838 - 379: The Path of the Legendary Knight (Part 3)
At this moment, Gang Le swiftly walked over.
"Lusen!"
Gang Le said loudly, "There are some things you need to help with."
He turned to introduce Kael beside him,
"This is my deputy."
"Don’t underestimate him, he’s a top-notch knight."
"He feels something is wrong with the aura around us."
Kael stepped forward respectfully and saluted, "Lord Lusen."
Lusen knew Kael.
The top knight of the Vanguard Corps, once the commander under the Duke of Flowers, Lusen had met him several times.
"Sorry, I can’t explain it clearly."
Kael actively said, "It’s just a feeling. I hope you can send a spellcaster to investigate the situation around."
"I understand you."
Lusen thought for a moment, "Have you tested your witch talent?"
"No."
Kael shook his head.
Kael was just a knight, and at this age, he had long passed the stage of talent testing.
"Wait a moment."
Lusen immediately stood up and entered the inner room.
Moments later, he took out a crystal ball and placed it in front of Kael.
"Try it, place your hand on it and use spiritual power to feel."
Without hesitation, Kael placed his hand on the crystal ball with a calm expression.
The light on the crystal ball lit up.
There were about eleven points of light.
This indicated that Kael had some witch talent.
However, he was too old and had missed the awakening moment.
When Kael opened his eyes, Lusen asked without hesitation:
"What did you see?"
"A world of light."
Kael recalled, "Various pure white animals, even the trees carried light shadows."
"And a lion with wings... I don’t understand it well."
Kael’s expression was puzzled.
"It’s okay."
Lusen realized something and suddenly looked at the guard,
"Pass the order, gather all members of the Wizard Corps!"
Lusen ordered loudly, "Notify His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Necromancers are likely to launch a surprise attack on us!"
...
...
Black Flame flapped its wings and landed in the central clearing of Morning Mist Town.
"What happened?"
Luo De’s sharp gaze.
A notification at midnight must mean an emergency.
Lusen immediately went forward, "Your Majesty, necromancers are likely nearby."
"I’ve already instructed the Wizard Corps to check food and water sources, and also to probe for magic fluctuations."
"Good."
Luo De nodded and asked, "How did you find out?"
"Your Majesty, we haven’t discovered any definitive signs, but..."
Lusen described the situation with Salido and Kael.
Saraya possessed the Holy Light talent as a witch, her physique was unusually sensitive to the dark negative energies of necromancers.
And Kael’s talent was likely also related to light.
But he was just a top knight and could only sense an irregular aura.
The combination of two signs suggested that necromancers might be up to something.
"Hmm, you’re right."
Luo De slightly nodded, acknowledging Lusen’s words.
The military camp was brightly lit.
The soldiers were fully armed.
The distant forest was silent.
Except for the fog, there was nothing unusual.
"Your Majesty, Lord Lusen."
A wizard quickly approached and reported, "No anomalies found in food or water sources, and no magic fluctuations detected."
After listening to the report, Lusen didn’t relax, his brows furrowing even more tightly,
"Your Majesty, something’s definitely wrong!"
"We can’t detect it, and likely, Lomisa used a more powerful spell!"
Lusen had no arrogance.
On the contrary, he knew the means of the extraordinary world were always beyond imagination, especially undead magic.
Kael stood up and kneeled on one knee,
"Your Majesty, regardless, I recommend the army retreat."
"Even if it’s being overly cautious, it’s better than being ambushed."
Luo De looked at Kael, then at Lusen.
Then nodded.
"Pass the order, prepare the whole army to retreat."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Everyone responded in unison, and the army quickly began to gather.
Luo De looked towards the direction of Ancient Wood City, the fog growing denser.
The food wasn’t poisoned, the water was fine, and there were no magic fluctuations nearby.
Lomisa, what exactly are you up to?
Luo De thought to himself.
The nighttime fog was too dense, otherwise, he would’ve turned over the area with Black Flame and the others.
Luo De shook his head in regret and then mounted Black Flame to leave.
Wait, fog?
Luo De suddenly reacted, immediately turning to Lusen and asking,
"Lusen, can you disperse the fog around us?"
