Abe the Wizard

Chapter 770: Ken’s Adventure Squad

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Ken’s adventure squad was a powerful adventure squad consisting of knights and wizards. Their captain was a head commander, and this adventure squad was named after him.

This naming scheme was very common since a powerful leader could attract powerful members.

Head Commander Ken and his 54 members took advantage of Wolf’s loophole and bypassed the defense. After they arrived at a depth of the wolf garden and headed towards Niyan City

Daryl, the patrol, had the sharpest eyes. He pointed at a tall beam of light in the cloud and said, “Captain, what is that?”

“1,2,3,4,5,6, 6 soul beams made out of earth qi!” Head Commander Ken mumbled to himself. He was stunned.

Every soul beam signified the death of an elite orc priest. There were 6 of them, which meant 6 elite priests were murdered on the roads up ahead.

How long a soul beam could remain depended on the rank of the elite priest, but normally it wouldn’t be more than a few hours, which also meant those elite priests were killed long ago.

“Is that Niyan City?” Head Commander Ken turned and asked.

A beginner wizard took out a map and looked at it in detail. He then nodded in certainty, “captain, yes it is!’

“Let’s go have a look!” Head Commander Ken thought for a moment and lowered his voice.

Although he knew the risk, his immense curiosity didn’t want to miss an opportunity to witness a rare scene.

The reason a Head Commander like him had set up an adventure squad was that he didn’t want to live a stale life. He had to keep stimulating himself between life and death, exploring the mystery of the world.

6 elite orc priests killed in one spot were almost unseen for the past 1000 years, but it had just happened in front of him. He might be able to be a part of this legendary incident.

Although he might only be playing a little minor role in this legendary incident, his age would still be known for generations.

“Captain, if the battle there still has not ended, it will be suicide if we continue!” A beginner wizard warned.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I will regret it for the rest of my life if I miss it!” Head Commander Ken yelled with his eyes glowing.

“Yeah. For a thing like this, it’s worth dying to see!” Another knight also yelled with excitement.

Most of the members of the adventure squad wanted to continue.

“If you don’t want to go, you can stay. But if you want to, follow me!” Head Commander Ken yelled and padded his warhorse. Afterward, he speeded towards the soul beams.

The other members of the squad also dashed forward. Even the ones who hesitated did not stay. They were in the orc’s territory. Staying at once spot with a small number wouldn’t be safe as well. It was best to follow the masses.

As they approached the soul beams, Head Commander Ken felt like he was approaching hell. Something scary was lurking within. His intuition kept sending him warning signals.

“Stop!” He lifted his hand.

After his members heard his voice, they quickly stopped their mounts.

“Geoffrey, use your power of the will to sense what is upfront!” Head Commander Ken turned and said to beginner wizard Geoffrey. He still trusted his intuition quite a lot.

Wizard Geoffrey unleashed his power of will and carefully moved his mount forward. When he was 10 meters from the city wall, he suddenly came to a halt. His face changed.

“Captain, it’s a death ground!” He turned and said to Head Commander Ken.

Death grounds were special to the orcs. It would never be seen in the human world.

Just like the area outside of Miracle City. It was a death ground, a place piled up with countless years of dead bodies. It was drenched in death qi. Nothing could survive on it.

Making a death ground was not easy. The reason now could exist outside of the Miracle wall was because the orc empire had sent countless Pecker Orcs to death by attacking the Miracle Wall.

According to the map, this place up front was a Wolf City named Niyan. Although it was not huge, it was still a decent-sized city.

How could a city like this turn into death ground, and there were even 6 soul beams within it.

For the death ground outside of the Miracle Wall, only powerful head commander level human or orcs other than wizards or priests could survive.

If normal knights wanted to pass through the death ground outside of the Miracle Wall, the Miracle wall had to open up with passage blocking out the death qi with energy.

Death qi could drain the life force of humans and cause great injuries.

So many adventurers had set out from the Miracle wall because the Kingdom of St Ellis supported them. As one of the 3 big kingdoms, no one would stop them if they wanted to avenge the Orc Empire.

Even Miracle City had supported them a lot. They ignited their teleportation circles and teleported many adventurers and knights from the Kingdom of St Ellis out of the Miracle Wall.

“Captain. Look inside!” Daryl, the patrol, yelled as he pointed at 20 less noticeable beams of light nearby.

“My spirit, what happened here?” Head Commander Ken was horrified.

Although the death of 6 elite priests was scary, elite priests were so detached from the common world they were almost like gods to Head Commander Ken. It was nowhere as scary as seeing the death of 20 top-level fighters like himself.

“Geoffrey, you go in and see!” Head Commander Ken knew the power of death ground. Although he could go in, he could not stay for long. It would affect his body.

Wizard Geoffrey was the only one in the squad that was immune to death qi. As long as that death qi didn’t explode, he should be safe.

“Yes, captain!” Wizard Geoffrey said and jumped down from his horse.

Warhorses could not survive in death qi. They would drop dead the moment they entered. Therefore, Wizard Geoffrey left his horse and walked through the almost fully destroyed walls of Niyan City.

After a while of walking, he spotted a team of wolf riders. Although he didn’t know their rank, he was certain that they were very skilled looking at their gears.

Those wolf riders were dried to their bones, laying on the ground like they were dead. Their mounts were even stranger. It seemed like they had just undergone some great trauma and were scared to death. Their eyes were poking out, internal juices and blood gushed out from their mouths.

Suddenly, Wizard Geoffrey sensed something in the houses upfront through his power of will. He slowly stepped forward. The houses were not destroyed, but there were tens more wolf riders lying on the ground.

Their mount wolves were just like the ones outside. They were shocked to death with internal substance pouring out of their mouths. The wolf riders were also dried up.

Wizard Geoffrey felt his heart drop. If each house had this many wolf riders, how many wolf riders were in this city altogether? Were they all dead?

He left the house and kept walking forward. All the houses 30 meters from the City gate were intact, but an unimaginable scenery soon emerged.

What he saw was a demolished city. Everything was in scattered pieces. It seemed like the houses he just saw were the only thing still intact.

In this city of ruins, Wizard Geoffrey saw the scattered pieces of wolf riders. The entire city had become a tomb, a tomb for wolf riders.

What power could do this? What could turn a city into a death ground? How could 6 elite priests, 20 top-level orc fighters, and countless skilled wolf riders die in this place?

Wizard Geoffrey felt more shock with each step. He sensed no signs of life.

Of course, that was because Abel had scanned this place with the commander spirit before he left.
