Cadker's speed was indeed fast.
It only took him two days to gather a group of 50 Grey Dwarves.
Although the Necromancer had other ideas, it didn't mean that Cadker didn't have his own.
This sharp Gray Dwarf Archon had realized that this was a favorable opportunity. Even though he and Verna knew that this operation was initiated by Jenn, with a little manipulation, the Brandon Stone City residents who weren't aware of the situation would think that this was an attack against the Goblins.
On the other hand, the Necromancer would participate in the battle at his request … If he could create such a false impression, it would be beneficial for Cadker to rule over the entire Brandon Stone City.
After all, there had been more than one rumor that their Archon was capable of controlling the Necromancer who lived outside the city. To them, this was a good opportunity for Cadker to display his influence over the Mages.
After all, it wasn't the first time that someone had whispered about whether their Consul could control the Necromancer who lived outside the city. To them, this was the best opportunity for Cadker to display his influence on the Mages.
But now, looking at Zayen and the others standing not far away, Cadker was not so sure anymore.
Jenn nodded at the smiling Gray Dwarf Archon.
Looking at the smiling Gray Dwarf Consul, Zayen nodded at him.
On the contrary, Jenn was dressed like a successful noble.
On the contrary, Zayen was dressed like a successful nobleman today.
He wore a pair of well-ironed trousers, a pitch-black ceremonial robe with dark red patterns, a cloak with golden edges, and a pitch-black cane in his right hand, which was wearing a white glove.
Now, he looked more like a high-spirited noble. The only similarity between them was the reflection of the glasses under the shadow of the hood.
But now, he looked more like a high-spirited noble. The only similarity between the two was the reflection of the glasses under the shadow of the hood.
Enoya and Verna stood on both sides of Jenn.
The former carried out her duties as the adjutant faithfully while the latter displayed an indifferent look as though she wasn't concerned about everything before her.
However, there was one more person beside them.
It was a young lady with long, silver-whitish hair clad in a Mage robe.
Cadker glanced at her curiously, but he was smart enough not to ask. Most of the mages were mystics, so Cadker didn't want to cause too much trouble.
So, he quickly refocused his attention on Zayen and said enthusiastically with a smile on his face.
"Of course, my lord. As you can see, I have gathered the bravest warriors in Brandon Stone City.
The Axe of Miraba! "
As he spoke, Cadker turned around abruptly and raised his hands high up at Jenn in high spirits.
It was only at this moment that he put aside the shrewdness and cunning of an archon and displayed the bravery that a gray dwarf should have.
"Their blades and axes are unparalleled. No one can stand in front of them in one piece.
They are the symbol of the grey dwarves' wrath. Those damned hairy bastards will scream and die under our blades! "Cadker laughed heartily as he spoke.
"Don't worry, my lord. I guarantee that these dwarves will build a steel wall for you. I guarantee that no accidents will happen."
"I hope so."
Zayen did not have much to say about Kardecker's boasting.
Because he sharply realized that even though these gray dwarves looked brave and bad-tempered, they were in line with the standards of a first-rate warrior.
But their equipment was grey and dull, and Zayen even keenly captured traces of damage in the gaps between the grey dwarf warriors' armors.
It was apparent that these armors hadn't been maintained for a long time and some of them might even be scraps from the warehouse.
It was apparent that these dwarves might be brave, but they definitely weren't the most elite warriors. Or perhaps, they weren't the elite warriors that Cadker was most proud of.
"Standing at the front is Tog Hammerstriker. He is the pride of our Brandon Stone City, Mage.
I believe that you will have a pleasant cooperation … "Cadker paused and shot an undetectable glance at Verna before retreating.
"… Stone above. I wish you all the best."
Elise stood quietly behind Jenn with knitted brows.
She couldn't understand why the underground city lord, Jenn, would be so concerned about a small group of Goblins and even eliminate them personally.
But she was unmistakably aware of the fact that Zayen had a very strong control over Brandon Stone City.
He was actually able to persuade the Grey Dwarf Consul to give him a group of elite Grey Dwarf Warriors to wipe out the Goblins, which was simply unbelievable to Elyse.
But this also left her deeply worried. It was apparent that the underground city wasn't just a legend to the races of the Dark Underworld.
This also meant that if the Black Agate City came to provoke Zayen again, their fate would be predictable.
Unlike the deeply worried Elise, Enoya stood behind Jenn calmly and narrowed her eyes at the farce directed by her master.
In Enoya's opinion, Jenn's greatest strength wasn't his magic or battle skills, but his wisdom.
He was always able to achieve his goal by revealing the asymmetry between the various pieces of information.
Just like what he was doing now.
He clearly saw through Cadker's greed for power and used it to give his own suggestion.
Cadker didn't know Jenn's true identity. To him, this Mage was just a Mage and nothing more.
But on the other hand, Elise's information was different. She knew that Jenn was the underground city lord and subconsciously believed that the Grey Dwarves knew about it too.
Therefore, in Elyse's opinion, Cadker's act of lending soldiers to Zayen became ironclad evidence of the alliance between the two forces.
This was what Jenn loved and was best at — grasping people's hearts, toying with them, and manipulating them.
In his hands, this had almost become a wonderful art. Enoya even believed that even if her master didn't have the so-called 'system' that he mentioned, he could still make a name for himself in the Underdark.
Of course, Enoya also knew that the information that Jenn revealed wasn't that simple.
But now, Elise wasn't in the mood to care about this because there was a more important and troublesome matter in front of her …
"Ugh …"
Looking at Zayen's back in front of her, Elyse lowered her head, the blush on her fair face reaching her neck.
But even so, she still hugged her body and looked to both sides.
It was no wonder that Elise was so uneasy at this moment because there was nothing on her except for the Mage robe and a pair of leather boots. In other words, Elise was once again 'naked'.
This made the young lady extremely depressed, but what could she do?
It was clearly Elyse herself who said that she would do anything for him.
But Elise didn't expect Jenn to actually take advantage of the situation and make such a shameful and shameless request.
Jenn only gave her two choices: either go out in the clothes that were even more revealing than a tavern prostitute, or go out in only a Mage robe.
Both are not willing?
Then spread your legs and let me have a good time.
Anyway, you said it yourself. As long as you can do it, you're willing to do anything.
Words can't be said indiscriminately, and food can't be eaten indiscriminately. Now, Elise could be considered to have personally experienced the truth contained in this sentence.
The so-called lesser of two evils, in the end, Elise still chose to go into battle naked.
No matter what, at least it looks normal from the outside, doesn't it?
But now, Elise was already regretting her choice.
The Mage robe that Jenn brought was indeed beautiful, well-fitting, exquisitely made, and comfortable.
This was indeed a superior piece of clothing, and logically speaking, Elise shouldn't have any dissatisfaction.
The problem was that this piece of clothing was so comfortable that many times, Elise felt as if she was wearing nothing, which made Elise have to constantly confirm that she was indeed wearing this piece of clothing and not naked. If she had seen "The King's New Clothes", then Elise would definitely have deep feelings for that King.
But Elise wouldn't feel very comfortable like this. She awkwardly stretched out her hand to cover her chest to cover the small bulge in front of her chest.
The exquisite fabric slid across her skin along with the girl's movements. In an instant, Elyse felt a tingling electric current spread throughout his body in his chest, which almost made her scream.
"Then, let's go, Miss Elise."
Just when Elise was flustered, Jenn's voice appeared in her ears. Looking up, she could see the young man in front of her smiling and extending his right hand to her. His posture was respectful and elegant — as noble as a noble.
It was as if they weren't in the rubble of the Underdark, but at a luxurious palace dinner, and he was inviting her to dance with him. This was completely different from the impression he gave before. Now Elise felt more and more that she couldn't see through this man.
He could be as vulgar as a hooligan, but also as noble and elegant as a noble. It was the first time Elise saw such contradictory characteristics appearing in a person at the same time.
Who is he?
He stared at Zayen's face, which was covered by the hood, and could barely be seen.
Elise hesitated for a moment, then reached out and held Jenn's outstretched hand.
But the young lady didn't notice that at the same time, a bright red brilliance flashed across Jenn's eyes.
