An army of 20,000 men, consisting of Dehrim and the Elven Nation, finally reached the territory of the Lizardmen on the morning of the fourth day after their departure from Cumberland, and the continuous days of trekking did not diminish the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

Bhandak and Darek stood with the army behind them under the gates of the main city of the Lizardmen.

On the city walls stood a column of lizardmen defending the city. After seeing the soldiers approaching the city, he immediately raised the white flag.

Both groups excluded by the lizardmen were planted under Dehrim's men. By now, the soldiers left to garrison the main city were simply not enough to fight the army outside the city gates, and it was even very likely that the army would be defeated.

Bandak and the others didn't expect the lizardmen to surrender so easily. At this time, the gates of the main city had been opened by the soldiers of the lizardmen. Gradually, several columns of lizardman soldiers came out of it, and the lizardman at the forefront seemed to be the leader of the team. The captain of the guard held a white flag in his right hand and made a gesture of begging for mercy and surrendering.

Suspiciously, Bendak dismounted from his horse and asked the lizardman leader, who was the representative of the surrender, "You are surrendering on behalf of the lizardmen?" ”

"Yes, all the remaining warriors of the lizardmen are here." The lizardman replied.

When Bandak heard this, he raised his head and counted roughly: there were only about seven or eight hundred lizardmen soldiers present.

With this combat power, if you fight hard with your own troops, it is indeed like hitting a stone with an egg.

At this point, Gabr walked up to Bandak and asked the lizardman leader, "What about your lord?" ”

"The lord has abandoned the city and fled." The lizardman pleaded pitifully, "You can do whatever you want, but can you please let us live?" ”

Bandak's complexion did not change in any way, as he had seen countless times. Since you have chosen to become a warrior, you will fight on the battlefield. So how is it possible not to have blood on your hands. At this point, the lizardman behaves as a loser, which he can understand, but will not sympathize.

Gabriel frowned, and then beckoned his army to tie up the lizardmen soldiers with ropes and temporarily take them into captivity.

The lizardman leader was held hostage by several soldiers and entered the city with them.

Walking into the lizardmen's main city, Gabul said to the lizardmen leader, "Did your lord run away on his own?" Or take his treasure with you? ”

"The lord fled with a few of his bodyguards, who didn't seem to have much with them because of the urgency for time." The lizardman leader replied in a panic, "Lord's treasure vault, I know where the location is. If I take you there, will you just let us go? ”

"Hmph, let's find it first." Gabriel snorted softly.

After that, the leader of the lizardmen led them to the palace in the main city of the lizardmen.

It is said that it is a royal palace, but the appearance is not as amazing as the royal palace that Bandak has seen before, I don't know if it is due to insufficient budget or what. The exterior of the palace is very simple, and it feels like an ordinary residence with a slightly larger area.

As the group reached the palace gates, Gabriel ordered his elven soldiers to scour the Lizardmen's main city for resources.

Bandak and Derrick, on the other hand, did not make any moves, and they only went to collect actual results. Natural resources and the like are of no particular use to Dehrim, who is far away.

So they don't have to think about getting a piece of the pie.

The space in the palace is still relatively small, so only the three of them and a few other warriors who went in to check on it were Bandak and the others.

"Your lord is really doing a pretty simple life." Gabr looked around the palace and finally commented. The kitchen in charge of meals in the palace is estimated to be the size of a toilet in the Elven Palace.

The lizardman soldier shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You'll know if you follow me." ”

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the lizardman opened a secret door. There is a corridor inside.

Bandak and Darek followed the lizardmen into the secret door. The space inside the door was pitch black.

"Huh? How can there be ventilation here? Darik wondered as he felt a chill on his face.

"This section was originally lit, but because the cost of lighting was too high, and the collection inside was not suitable for an open flame environment. and was discarded. ”

The group followed closely behind the lizardmen to the other end of the hallway.

"It seems like there's a lot of space in there." Gabr said, vaguely hearing back as the words fell.

It didn't take long for them to reach a clearing.

The walls of the open space are inlaid with high-priced fluorescent stones, which makes everyone's vision clear.

"Wow!" Darek couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the boxes full of expensive treasures piled up in groups.

"The lord didn't take his treasure with him. I guess I'm worried that I'm going to attract the attention of others. The lizardman spoke.

"So many belongings have been hidden by him. If the people around him know, he will also feel jealousy. Bandak then asked the lizardmen, "How did you know where your lord's treasure is?" ”

"I just accidentally broke in." The lizardman bowed his head.

"Then why don't you take these treasures with your soldiers? That's enough for all of you to enjoy for a lifetime. ”

"There are still families of soldiers in the city, and it is completely impossible to move from the city to the city." The lizardman replied, "Rather than think of offering you these treasures." Maybe it can be exchanged for a glimmer of life. ”

"Hmm." Bandak nodded, but did not comment.

The soldiers waiting outside the palace gate were called into the dark room. Responsible for packing up and counting these treasures.

The soldiers who had been sent out to search sent someone back to spread the word that a freshwater lake and an iron ore had been found on the outskirts of the lizardmen's main city.

Gabul was overjoyed and said to Bandak lightly, "The ability to sweep away the lizard people this time is mainly due to Dehrim's army. ”

"It should be a victory for mutual cooperation." Derick modestly responded.

"No, no, no, this time without your assistance. It would be impossible for the troops of the Elven Kingdom to achieve such rich results. Gabriel couldn't help but continue to praise: "Thank you so much for every reinforcement from Decherim. ”

After smiling and refusing, Derrick finally accepted Gabriel's heartfelt thanks.

The amount of financial reports stored in the dark room was indeed staggering, and more than a hundred soldiers worked in the dark room for a long time before finally completing the task of sorting everything out and starting to keep a record.
