CHAPTER 80 UNDEAD, CITY LORDS

After returning to the surface, he directly returned to Eligan Kingdom and put the Demonic World Orb back in the spirit-gathering array again.

He then returns to the lower realm and stays in Sword Slash City, waiting for his disciples to finish their task.

He also trained the orphans and the slaves who had the aptitude to become swordsmen. What he found unexpected was that his sword realm was getting stronger. It seems training them proved to be a great way to train his understanding of the swords.

A month came, and the deadline for his disciples to finish their task was over, so he brought them again to search for another capital city.

While travelling, he was asking about the experience that his two disciples acquired in Sword Slash City for Peach; he already knew that she had the ability to lead an assassination group.

"At first, I didn't know what to do; my master only taught me how to fight, so being a leader gave me great pressure, but at least I have gained the ability to teach the basics to the children," Scarlet happily explained.

"This wasn't my first time to manage because Miss Shelia would train me in the art of managing," Mira just casually explained her experience.

He then smiled and nodded, telling them that he was satisfied with their abilities.

They keep on travelling, and Shadow also shared what he did and how he managed stuff during the past month.

When listening to Shadow, the three girls have learned a couple of things, making them enlightened.

After travelling for two months, they finally arrived n the ccapital city.

The city is not as great as Sword Slash City or Sgety City; it is on the same level as Frevi City.

The city is called Breezy Wind City; it was named after the always breezy weather of the city.

The strange thing is that the atmosphere in the city was heavy, and they could not see any people going out; they only saw soldiers patrolling.

"Let's go to a bar to acquire information about the situation in the town." Shadow decided to learn what was happening in the city and why it seemed off.

After they toured the city, they finally found a bar. When they entered, they saw many depressed people, and they continuously let out a sigh.

Shadow and the girls sat down and ordered a drink. They also used their spiritual sense to hear what the others were talking about.

*Sigh* "When will this war end? The deaths of our kind only make those bastards stronger. Even though we had three capital cities on our side, those damnable beings are still winning." A drunk soldier slams his fist on the table.

Then his partner patted his soldier and also spoke in a depressed tone: "You know we could not win with those undeads; the more deaths, the more powerful they became, and with them, they have disgusting methods to harm us."

The angry soldier then started crying, "My brother turned into a zombie after the battle, leaving his wife and daughter."

Hearing the talk of the two soldiers, Shadow finally knew why the whole city seemed depressed.

Their enemy was actually the undead race, a race that is very troublesome to deal with. Even with the alliance of four capital cities, they were still on the losing side.

Shadow then left the bar and went to the city lord mansion, where they easily snuck in.

After getting inside, Shadow searched the whole mansion; his target was the city lord.

Even after repeatedly searching, they still did not find the city lord.

They finally realised that he was not home, so Shadow started to look through the city lord documents until he finally found a letter saying that there was a meeting between the four alliances.

"The three of you go to the battlefield and find out the strength of the undead."

Shadow then left his destination, Schlet City, one of the alliance cities of Breezy Wind City, and also the location where the meeting between the alliance took place.

After arriving in the city, he directly barged into the city lord mansion, disregarding the guards that were stopping him.

Inside the mansion, the four city lords were discussing their plan for the undead when suddenly they heard a commotion outside the room.

One of the city lords shouted at the guard, "What is happening outside? Don't you know that we were discussing something very important?"

The guard answered nervously, "Sir, someone barged into the mansion, and we could not stop him."

Hearing this, the city lord of Schlet City became angry but also startled. 'Someone managed to barge into my mansion, even though all the guards could not stop him.

Suddenly, the door in the room was flung open, and Shadow entered the room.

The four city lords became nervous, especially when they felt the aura of a king from Shadow.

They look at each other in shock; they know that the person in front of them is a person of great importance.

All of them bowed courteously. They then spoke at the same time, "Arnold, Vecyor, Shandolf, and Frios greet you, my lord."

Shadow just laughed it off and gestured for the guards to leave.

Realising this, Arnold, the city lord of Schlet City, commanded the guards to leave.

After all the guards left, the four city lords looked at Shadow, waiting for him to speak.

Shadow looks at the four city lords and says, "I am here today to ask you to submit to me. If you do, my kingdom will help you defeat the undead."

The four of them look at each other; they seem to be thinking deeply and hesitant.

Suddenly, one of the city lords spoke, "I agree with your proposal. Please give me your name, my lord."

Shadow looks at him and remembers that this person was Shandolf.

He then smiled at him and proudly proclaimed, "I am Shadow Eligan, the ruler of Eligan Kingdom, which resides on the higher realm and owns one Grade 1 world and one Grade 2 world."
