CHAPTER 695: CHAPTER 421: UNDERCOVER: A CHOICE BETWEEN TWO (PART 2)

Given the current population of the Elf Clan, they simply cannot withstand the siege of the hundred thousand skeleton army.

The hundred thousand skeleton army is entirely different from living races.

If it were humans, in the era of cold weapons, a hundred thousand troops wouldn’t be able to conquer a city defended by ten thousand.

Because humans feel fear, and when the casualty rate reaches 20%, the army is almost on the verge of collapse.

The undead skeletons are entirely different; they are a terrifying existence that knows no fear, feels no pain, needs no supply, and advances inexorably.

Given the current population of the Elf Clan, even if everyone participates in the war, they cannot withstand the siege of the hundred thousand skeleton army.

Moreover, there are those seven bone dragons, each incomparably powerful.

Therefore, Ke Yiming never considered that the Bone Sovereign would lose.

He even less expected that the Bone Sovereign would die.

An existence at the Demigod Level, even if defeated, has a very small chance of being killed.

When critically injured, a demigod can choose to escape, and no one below a demigod’s strength has the ability to stop them.

Even Terres, the strongest of the Elf Clan, does not have the capability to stop a demigod.

The Bone Sovereign was taken out entirely because of Lu Heng’s sudden betrayal, using the [Divine Judgment] fused with Rift Slash, cutting down the Bone Sovereign with a single strike.

The Bone Sovereign’s body, split in two, still attempted to escape.

However, the severe injury caused him to drop below demigod strength, unable to escape from beneath Terres’ sword, leading to his demise.

Upon learning the Bone Sovereign had died, Ke Yiming gave up the last of his thoughts and resigned himself, saying:

"Give me a chance to live. Once I return, I will be your spy and do whatever you ask, as long as you let me live."

Lu Heng did not respond to his plea, but turned his head, gesturing for two prison guards to bring a person over and lock him in Ke Yiming’s cell.

This person was none other than Bob Bellock, a high-ranking mercenary in the largest Superpower Mercenary Organization "Delegate" of the White Eagle Federation, and also a member of the Creator Organization, numbered 017.

It was the first time Ke Yiming saw the true face of a blue-blooded human; a brown-haired, sapphire-eyed Caucasian, not quite the typical White Eagle appearance, possibly mixed with foreign blood.

The two exchanged glances without saying a word.

Because they were both prisoners, their lives in the hands of others.

Lu Heng observed the two for a moment and said, "As you might have guessed, I do need someone to stay in the Creator Organization as an informant, but... I only need one."

With these words.

Both Ke Yiming and the blue-blooded man’s pupils dilated, as the words meant that only one of them could live.

The conflict with the Creator Organization had reached an irreconcilable level, and this issue had to be resolved sooner or later.

Moreover, Xie Shi’en had a grudge against the Creator Organization, and when he joined the team, he made it clear that he would seek compensation from the Creator Organization.

Su Muyu also needed to retrieve the Life Tree Vine from the Creator Organization.

Along with Lu Heng himself, having a life-and-death relationship with the Creator Organization.

Among the four team members, three needed to deal with the Creator Organization.

The inside agent must be kept, but only one is needed.

Lu Heng took out a dagger and tossed it over, saying, "The one who survives will be the informant."

The dagger landed before the two, the sound of it hitting the ground like the tolling of a death knell.

Both reacted quickly, without hesitation, almost simultaneously lunging for it.

Inside the Magic Prohibition Prison, without access to Source Energy, neither could use any skills.

Though Source Energy couldn’t be used, the physical qualities of a Superpower User wouldn’t be restrained by the Magic Prohibition Prison.

The blue-blooded man was a Perceiver, while Ke Yiming was a close combat Superpower User skilled in using cold weapons; their advantageous attributes were clearly distinct.

Ke Yiming was faster, reaching the dagger first and then pivoting around with a slash.

The bright blade light swept across the blue-blooded man’s neck; he clutched his neck with both hands and fell to the ground, blood gushing through his fingers.

After killing the blue-blooded man, Ke Yiming held the dagger with both hands and presented it to Lu Heng as an offering to prove his allegiance.

This dagger carried his fingerprints and the blue-blooded man’s bloodstains, serving as ironclad evidence of his betrayal of the Creator Organization.

In reality, the presence or absence of this evidence made little difference, but this better demonstrated his resolve.

Lu Heng took back the dagger and said, "You are indeed smart, but sometimes overly so. I’m sparing your life merely for more conveniently solving the Creator Organization.

"Just like this dagger, when I feel it becomes unwieldy, I will discard it decisively."

Ke Yiming lowered his head and said, "I understand. From now on, I am your dog; whoever you want me to bite, I will bite."

Lu Heng turned and walked out, taking a few steps before turning his head, glancing sidelong at him, and said, "Perhaps you haven’t realized yet, but your identity has been discovered by the Southern War Zone.

"Summoning main body, high level, located at the same longitude in Coastal; your flaws are too many.

"Even if the Bone Sovereign had won, you would have been a dead man upon returning."

Upon hearing this, Ke Yiming’s pupils abruptly expanded, and a cloud of despair shadowed his heart.

Lu Heng had not contacted the Southern War Zone, but before teleporting over, he had discussed the identity of the summoning main body with Jian Qing.

With Jian Qing’s ability, it was impossible not to identify Ke Yiming’s identity.

Confirming the identity was too simple; among high-ranking Superpower Users in Coastal, finding out who’s missing was as easy as pie.

This was no challenge at all for the Southern War Zone.

...

The fire of war ceased.

The Elf Clan held a return-to-nature ceremony for their fallen kin, then began repairing the city walls.

The seven bone dragons left behind a vast amount of Dragon Bone Material, especially the important parts of the dragon bones, each piece worth a fortune.

Lu Heng obtained a considerable amount of Dragon Bone Material, intending to take it back to Quenching Castle for weapon forging upgrades.

With the end of the battle, time was now the last day on the Abyss Battlefield.

Queen Orelana, though severely wounded, still summoned Lu Heng and the other three, bestowing rewards.

The foursome received the Moon Well Spring Water as a reward once more.

After this battle, the spring water in the Moon Well had become increasingly scarce. Even in such circumstances, Queen Orelana was willing to offer the Moon Well Spring Water, demonstrating their deep bond.

After granting the Moon Well Spring Water, Queen Orelana kept Lu Heng alone, sincerely saying, "Thank you."

"What I should do, the Abyss Battlefield will reward me." Lu Heng smiled warmly.

Queen Orelana turned to gaze long out the window, and when she turned back once more, it was as if a strand of light danced in her eyes.

She asked, "Do you still remember the promise we made by the lakeside?"

"I remember."

"At that time, I was actually uncertain; I didn’t even have the confidence of defending Kolos City. Our agreement was just a way to find a sliver of hope in my heart..."

Queen Orelana stood up, clasping Lu Heng’s hand, then continued, "But now I believe it; you are unlike any Summoner I’ve met before.

"If anyone can fulfill that grand aspiration you spoke of, it could only be you. We Quel’dorei are willing to realize this grand aspiration together with you."

...

Aside from Queen Orelana, Fiona was also severely wounded and had lost an arm.

She had ultimately shielded the queen from a blow from a skeleton dragon, her entire arm shattered into a mist of blood, her body covered in countless scars.

"Doesn’t Elder Seren master regeneration magic for limbs?" Lu Heng, noticing Fiona’s empty left sleeve, felt pity for this brave female general.

Fiona simply waved her right hand, saying heartily, "Don’t worry about me, there are clansmen more severely wounded in the city that need treatment, and Elder Seren is overwhelmed.

"This little injury is nothing; when the next summoning comes, I’ll find a chance to restore my limb."

Hearing this, Lu Heng said no more.

In truth.

The summoning to the Abyss Battlefield cannot regenerate severed limbs, as the body state is recorded at the time of teleportation.

This means that an arm severed before teleportation cannot be restored upon return.

However, there is another chance for limb regeneration.

That is the reward from a World Task.

Among the three choices in the World Task rewards, a limb regeneration option might appear.

However, the appearance probability of this reward option is not high and might correlate with the physical condition of the Summoner himself.

Of course, given the strength of the Elf Clan, they certainly have a way to help Fiona complete a World Task on the Abyss Battlefield.

The rest depends on luck.
