Chapter 715 - 715 715 Fire in the Second Prince's Backyard

715: Chapter 715: Fire in the Second Prince’s Backyard 715: Chapter 715: Fire in the Second Prince’s Backyard Xi Fei nodded: “It must be kept secret, but complete secrecy is impossible, after all, such a big change cannot be concealed from some people.

Especially those mages, their perception is still very sharp.”

“I am aware of this, just prepare as I said for now, we will address future issues when they arise.”

Zhao Guang also had no solution for this, as he himself did not expect the changes to be so significant.

Fortunately, for the time being, others can only think about emulating the changes and are unlikely to come directly to him with troubles.

After some time, once he himself reaches the Legendary Level, there would be no more worries.

Unbeknownst to himself, Zhao Guang found that he was actually inviting troubles for himself, which was quite unexpected.

Forget it, let it be, and continue with my research, he thought.

Only in this way could he advance quickly.

The Golden Giant Dragon Crystal Core he had before had already been fully absorbed, causing the advancement of his Combat Energy to slow down.

Although his progress in Combat Energy was currently higher than that of his Magic Power, the progress in Magic Power would definitely surpass it soon.

That is to say, breaking through to the Legendary Level still depends on his progress as a mage.

However, while Zhao Guang was immersed in his research, the domestic war underwent another change.

“Strange, why have these two started to peck at each other again?”

Zhao Guang looked at the newly delivered report, which was different from the usual, because the Prince had stabilized the battlefront.

But the stability of the battlefront was not due to the improvement of his own command, but because the situation on the side of the second Prince had reverted to its previous state.

The two began to employ various cunning strategies, undermining each other.

As before, the one who made more mistakes would provide an advantage to the opponent.

And initially, the second Prince made some glaringly foolish moves, more so than the problems with the Prince’s command.

That was the reason the Prince managed to stabilize the battle line, which was quite astonishing.

Xi Fei organized the reports, so she saw them even earlier.

“It is said that there were issues in the second Prince’s rear, so Bo Yan has gone back to resolve them,” she said.

“I see, in that case it depends on when Bo Yan can return.”

Xi Fei shook her head: “I don’t think he will be able to return any time soon.”

Zhao Guang was puzzled: “What’s the matter, did something happen in their rear?

Surely it’s not a Sea Clan invasion.

That’s not right, even if it was a Sea Clan invasion, Duke Horace would be in front to stop them, what does it have to do with them?”

Bo Yan’s territory was just a good place for conscription, and while they had a good relationship with Duke Horace, that didn’t mean they were obligated to act in case the Sea Clan invaded.

In other words, the regular military strength of Bo Yan’s territory was not substantial, and even if they were to act, it would be futile.

Moreover, this force, currently engaged in fierce battle with the Prince, had become ragged following a series of sloppy maneuvers.

Once an organized military force, it now resembled a stitched-together monster.

After incorporating a large number of individuals not even qualified as soldiers, this army was almost incapable of forming a proper military formation.

Xi Fei shook her head: “They have not specified the circumstances, but our people have uncovered some issues.”

Because Zhao Guang was aware of impending issues in Bo Yan’s territory from early on, he had Xi Fei pay attention to that area upon his return.

Hence, Xi Fei had arranged for some agents to infiltrate there quite some time ago.

Perhaps due to training or the brief period of territorial development, these agents did not possess high professional skills.

However, after sending out many people, there are still some who successfully took root and gathered information from the other side.

“According to our agents, there seems to be unrest with an Undead Mage involved over there,” someone reported.

“There’s an Undead Mage over there too?

What’s going on?” Zhao Guang was incredulous.

He hadn’t heard about any Undead Mages slipping past the northern frontline.

Could it be someone who had entered in secret?

Although it was possible to infiltrate alone, wasn’t that just courting death?

After all, the Chirali Empire, although not having zero tolerance, absolutely despised Undead Mages.

Hadn’t Zhao Guang himself learned some Undead Magic and yet dared not reveal it?

He was afraid of being ostracized.

Even if it were him, he would probably face significant pressure.

However, this pressure didn’t just come from the Empire; it could also come from the Silver Tower.

“The details are unclear, but it’s certain that there’s indeed unrest caused by the Undead,” came the reply.

Zhao Guang was puzzled, “Unrest caused by the Undead?

What does that unrest mean?” If the Undead were causing trouble, then the number must be terrifying, enough to constitute a natural disaster.

This was one of the reasons why those powerful organizations and the Empire disfavored Undead Mages.

“We’re also baffled.

Allegedly, a mysterious surge in the number of Undead has arisen there.

It began in the slums, with many being transformed into Undead on the spot.

By the time it was discovered, it had already run rampant.”

Would an Undead Mage cause such a disturbance in the slums?

It seemed inconceivable.

Though slums might provide easier cover for unrest, once things get out of hand, there would be a roundup, leaving no escape.

The nobles might not care about the slum dwellers, but they take their city’s safety very seriously.

“It’s not very clear; we need to keep a closer watch.

But supposedly, what’s really troubling them are not the human Undead, but a large number of animal Undead.”

“A large number of animal Undead?

It seems this Undead Plague is quite severe.”

The Undead Plague could be regarded as a kind of plague, similar to any ordinary plague that can spread.

However, in general, this kind of power tends to be quite specific, for example targeting humans and similar humanoid creatures.

Undead Mages wouldn’t usually research plagues targeting animals.

Especially one that affects different species simultaneously and is also highly potent—it’s extremely rare.

“That’s exactly the issue.

Now even insects are said to be carriers of this Undead Plague.

Though they don’t last long, Bo Yan’s territory has been utterly overrun with the plague.”

Zhao Guang understood why Bo Yan was in such a hurry to take his people back.

At this rate, he might lose his homeland.

Bo Yan must have realized that he couldn’t count on the second Prince, and that his own domain was the foundation.

Even if he wanted to puppeteer the second Prince in the future, he couldn’t afford to lose his base.

If not by the future king, he could be undone by other lords, who would definitely not stand by idly.

“Keep observing, let’s see what else can happen.” After all, he wasn’t afraid of the Undead, and Bo Yan’s domain was far from his own.

Even if their lands were destroyed, it wouldn’t affect him much.

Besides, with Duke Horace so close by and yet to make a move, how could it be his turn?
