This was the usual method of the Immortal mercenary group. They would first kill all the people in the surrounding villages and turn them into an undead army. Although the level of the undead was very low, their attack power wasn't weak. One must know that the strength of the undead wasn't small. Plus, they weren't afraid of death or pain. They attacked without any regard for their own lives. They were an opponent that no intelligent race would want to face.
The Markey Dell clan's reputation in the continent was very high, and their strength was also very strong. Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one would dare to make a move against them. Because of this, after a long time, they would naturally relax a little. Therefore, each caravan would not send a lot of people.
This time, the Markey Dell clan was going to Montenegro Fortress to make a secret transaction with a mysterious person. The transaction was a Necromancer's Orb.
This Necromancer's Orb was found by a thief in an ancient tomb. This orb had a very strong death energy. It could turn an ordinary undead into an intermediate or advanced undead.
Although the Markey Dell clan wanted to keep this treasure, this information was known by a very mysterious person. That mysterious person offered a high price to buy this orb. The Markey Dell clan had no choice but to agree. They chose to do the transaction in Montenegro Fortress. This was because the transaction wouldn't attract people's attention. No one would think that such a treasure would be traded here.
However, they didn't know how this information was known by the Immortal mercenary group. The importance of this Necromancer's Orb to the Immortal mercenary group was self-evident. Therefore, the Immortal mercenary group wanted to rob it.
This time, in order to not let others know that they were going to Montenegro Fortress for the transaction, the Markey Dell clan didn't send a lot of people. They disguised themselves as an ordinary caravan and then spread the news that the location of the Necromancer's Orb was changed. They thought that this would be safe, but they didn't expect that they would still be blocked by the Immortal mercenary group.
The eight black mages of the Immortal mercenary group naturally didn't only know how to turn people into undead. Their black magic wasn't small. One must know that they used to be very strong black mages. In addition to commanding the undead army to attack the Markey Dell clan's caravan, they also used black magic to attack the caravan from time to time, which put a lot of pressure on the caravan.
Of course, the Markey Dell family wouldn't just send some ordinary mercenaries to deliver the Necromancy Orb. The people they sent this time were all experts from their family.
However, these experts were unable to take on so many people. Moreover, the ones attacking them were not humans, but undead creatures. In addition, the eight people from the Immortal Mercenary Group were using black magic to launch sneak attacks, causing them to suffer greatly.
Laura stood on top of the carriage, holding a wooden box in her hand. The box wasn't very big, only about 20 cubic centimeters in size. It didn't seem to be very heavy either, as a girl, it didn't seem to be very strenuous for her to hold it in her hand.
Laura was the daughter of the second successor of the Markey Dell clan, Karen Markey Dell. Karen Markey Dell was a magician. He was 40 years old and had just reached the sixth level. This kind of cultivation speed wasn't slow, but it definitely wasn't fast either. He didn't belong to the category of heavenly talents, but he was very fond of cultivation and magic research. He had no interest in doing business.
The Markey Dell clan was a famous business family on the continent. They didn't care about the level of the family's successor, the level of the warrior, or the level of the magician. They cared more about the family's successor's ability to do business, which made Karen's position in the family somewhat awkward.
However, Karen gave birth to a good daughter, Laura. Laura was only seventeen years old today, but she was a famous genius in the continent. Not only was she a genius in cultivation, she was also a genius in business. Laura didn't learn any ordinary martial arts, but rather the Knight's Skills. This was a battle skill that was much more difficult to learn than ordinary martial arts, and the requirements for the cultivator were very high.
Today, Laura was already a sixth level warrior. She was good at using spears, tower shields, horse bows, and scimitars. Her strength was also very strong. However, if you looked at her appearance, you would never think that she was such an expert.
Her skin was as white as snow, and she had long wavy golden hair. She had a pair of deep blue eyes, and the most unforgettable thing about her was her height. She was more than 180 centimeters tall. Such an identity made many men shrink back, not to mention her illustrious family background and strong martial arts.
What made people talk about her the most was that Laura was also a business genius. She was very talented in doing business. When she was young, she began to help her father take care of some business matters. Moreover, she was very successful in doing so.
Ordinary people wouldn't even be jealous of such a heavenly girl because she was too outstanding. If a person was only a little more outstanding than you, you would be jealous of him. But if he was much more outstanding than you and wasn't on the same level as you, you wouldn't be jealous of him.
The Markey Dell clan wasn't the same as ordinary clans. Every successor of the clan would manage a part of the clan's business. When the time came to select a clan head, the clan elders would discuss who would be the best at managing the business and making the most profits. Then, the clan elders would jointly discuss who would be the next clan head.
Originally, Karen, the second successor, was just a name. Everyone in the Markey Dell clan knew that his business ability wasn't good, so he didn't have any competition for the position of clan head. At most, he could only be regarded as a crown prince.
But since Laura helped Karen manage the business, the income of Karen's business increased year after year. Now, Karen's business wasn't worse than the other successors.
Karen's share of the clan's business was mainly concentrated in the Purcell Duchy. Therefore, this time, the transaction was handed over to Karen. Of course, in the end, the one to complete the transaction was Laura.
Laura didn't think that her arrangement would be in vain. In the end, they were blocked by the Immortal mercenary group. Laura knew that this time, she was afraid that it was really dangerous.
Although Laura was a sixth-level knight, she still hadn't found a mount that truly belonged to her. Moreover, she hadn't participated in a real battle. Her rank as a sixth-level knight was completely obtained by passing an exam. Although her strength wasn't bad, when compared to those mercenaries who licked the blood of their blades every day, she was much worse.
Now that they were surrounded by the undead, even if she wanted to run, she couldn't.
For the first time, Laura felt so desperate. For the first time, she felt that death was so close to her. Laura bit her lip hard. Her delicate red lips were already bleeding.
At this moment, the scene that destroyed Laura's last hope appeared. Behind the undead army, a large number of undead appeared. These undead were tall and had a strange green body. At first glance, they were more difficult to deal with than the undead that had besieged them.
Laura's face was pale. She knew that she wouldn't be spared today. But this didn't make her collapse. Instead, it aroused her heart's fighting spirit!
When a person is in despair, there are often two kinds of reactions. One is that they completely collapse and lose all resistance, allowing others to slaughter them. The other is that they indignantly resist. Even if they die, they want to drag someone down with them. Laura was obviously the latter.
Just as Laura was ready to fight to the death, she suddenly found that the undead were attacking the undead that had besieged them.
This time, it wasn't only Laura who was stunned. Everyone from the Markey Dell clan was stunned. Their brains couldn't react to what was happening. Was there an internal strife in the Immortal mercenary group?
Laura didn't think so. She was a smart person. She could see that the undead that came later were not at the same level as the undead that had besieged them. The undead that had besieged them were people who lived nearby. Most of the weapons in their hands were farming tools. Except for the humanoid ones, most of them were domesticated magic beasts.
As for the magic beasts that came later, they were all magic beasts with very strong attack power. Moreover, with their green bones, it was obvious that they were poisonous and not to be trifled with.
Under the watchful eyes of Laura and the others, the green undead continued to pour in. The total number had reached more than a thousand. Nearly half of the undead that had besieged them had been eliminated. Moreover, the undead that had besieged them were disappearing at a very fast speed.
Laura had been paying attention to the green undead. She believed that the people who would help them would soon appear. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a huge undead to appear on the slope. This undead might not be the biggest among the green undead, but there were people on top of it.
Laura carefully looked over and found that there were four people on top of the undead. Two of them were standing on top of the undead's head. One of them was wearing a full body infantry armor, while the other was wearing a magic robe. The other two were sitting on top of the undead's chest. One of them was wearing a black magic robe, which made him look very strange. The other one was dressed as a maid, sitting next to the black magician.
Laura knew that the main characters had arrived. But at this moment, a sudden change occurred. Several black lights shot towards the four people. Laura's face changed. She knew that the Immortal mercenary group had made a move. The Immortal mercenary group must hate the four people. It was them who had destroyed their good deed. Laura couldn't help but nervously shout, "Be careful!" She didn't think that the four people would be so far away that they couldn't hear what she shouted.
