Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 663
Chapter 663: The Arrogance of the Lizardmen
It was almost evening now. The Drondheim soldiers who were waiting outside the palace gate anxiously kept looking at the palace gate.
Although only darkness answered them.
“Ga…” The palace gate opened. Under everyone’s astonished gaze, an elven medical soldier stepped out of the porch. Behind him was a group of injured Drondheim soldiers.
Seeing this, the soldiers standing in front of the palace gate hurriedly went forward to support the injured soldiers.
Meanwhile, Comori walked through the crowd and arrived in front of the lizardman.
From the moment he walked out of the palace, he had become a fierce-looking undead warrior in the eyes of the lizardman.
“The people of Drondheim have surrendered to us. Please withdraw your troops,” Comori gritted his teeth and said.
This was what Bunduk had told him before he set off. The first choice was to let the lizardmen retreat, and the second choice was to lead them into the palace.
“Huh?” The man raised his eyebrows strangely, and then said with a flattering smile, “Soldier, we haven’t received the reward your Lord promised us.”
“Oh, right.” Comori pretended to suddenly remember and said, “The Lord asked me to invite you in.”
The lizardman looked at him in puzzlement but didn’t say anything. After thinking for a while. He just felt that this undead was really arrogant, and treated them so lightly.
After all, the reward offered by the Undead Kingdom was generous enough. Today, they were able to receive such a generous reward without doing anything. The joy they felt from this gradually reduced their dissatisfaction with the other party.
The lizardman still had a smile on his face as he said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you to lead the way.”
Comori did not dare to say anything else. He nodded and turned around to walk towards the main gate of the palace. Behind him was a large group of lizardmen.
When he passed by Drondheim’s group, the lizardman said mockingly, “With your combat strength, you still want to invade the Kingdom of Lizardmen? You really don’t know your place. Pray that your Lord will use Drondheim’s colony in exchange for your lives!”
Hearing this, the eyes of the Drondheim’s soldiers were burning with anger. They wanted to rush forward and tear the lizardman into pieces on the spot. However, they could only watch as they passed by.
“Did the commander really surrender? What’s wrong with the elven medical soldier?”
The officer asked while supporting one of the injured soldiers.
The injured soldier stared at the lizardmen soldiers and watched as they all disappeared at the entrance of the palace. He then picked up the weapons at his waist, “How is that possible? Everyone, follow me and charge in. All the undead soldiers have been annihilated. Lead them inside and wait to join us.”
On the other side, the lizardman led his troops and followed Comori into the pitch-black corridor.
“The palace is too dark.”
“I don’t know how you managed to subdue those Drondheim soldiers, but it looks like you guys fought with them. That so-called commander was indeed a stubborn guy. If it were me, under such circumstances, I would never think of going head-to-head with others.”
“How much longer until we arrive?”
Along the way, the lizardman kept talking to Comori, wanting to know more about the situation of this battle. He did not want to return to the kingdom and tell others that he had only stood in front of the palace for an entire afternoon. At the very least, he had to add some special background.
However, Comori did not respond to him much. After all, as a medical soldier who had never been on the battlefield, it was too difficult for him to control his mind and communicate with the enemy leader at the same time. Therefore, he could only nod his head in response and quicken his pace.
From the entrance of the palace to the room where Bunduk and the others were, it was probably the most difficult path that Comori had ever taken.
The lizardman felt that the other party did not seem to be willing to talk to him, and in addition, the team behind him was always noisy. His mood also became restless.
He turned to the lizardmen soldiers and shouted, “What are you arguing about! There’s nothing here and you’re still chatting so enthusiastically.”
The lizardmen soldier behind him carefully said, “Boss, they’re just saying, ‘I didn’t expect that the undead not only cleared us out this time but also invited people from the Elf Kingdom. It seems that the Elf Kingdom was still unwilling to let Drondheim take over a colony.’”
“The Elf Kingdom? Aren’t they the backup that Drondheim moved here? I haven’t heard that they are with us,” the lizardman frowned and asked.
Hearing this, Comori’s body stiffened, and then he walked like the wind. He ran toward the gate that was a few meters away.
“What?!” The lizardman soldier widened his eyes in surprise and raised his hand to point at Comori’s back. “But we have been following him all the way here.”
The lizardman could not react in time. “What did you say? He is obviously an undead…”
At this moment, the group had already arrived in front of the battlefield.
Looking at the corpses of the undead soldiers on the ground, the lizardman could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He could not finish the second half of his sentence.
“Save me!”
Comori ran toward the center of the house. When the lizardman soldier said the first sentence, his heart almost jumped to his throat.
Bunduk led the team and jumped down from the edge of the wall, each holding an open flame.
“You defeated the undead?” the lizardman asked after he reacted.
Bunduk did not comment. He looked past the lizardmen soldiers and looked at the path they had taken when they came.
The lizardman followed his gaze and suddenly thought of something. His expression immediately darkened.
As expected, the sound of marching troops could be heard behind him. All the Drondheim soldiers who had stopped outside the imperial palace rushed in.
“Scoundrel!” the lizardman gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, “Do you think that you can defeat us by using such a small trick to lure us here?”
“Actually, that’s not necessarily the case,” Bunduk replied. “If you guys leave this place, I’m referring to the Undead Kingdom. We’re willing to let you go.”
“Hehe,” the lizardman said disdainfully, “as people who march and fight, we don’t want to be ridiculed for the rest of our lives because of this. Moreover, it’s more than enough for us to deal with you guys.”
Bunduk’s expression became serious. Although what the lizardman said was within his expectations, the current situation was indeed not optimistic.
“Since you have already said so, then I have nothing more to say,” Bunduk replied seriously, “I hope you won’t regret your choice.”
“Today, all the people of Drondheim will die!” The lizardman revealed a fierce expression. Their four limbs were prostrating on the ground, and their lizard tails were raised high. Their appearances were extremely ferocious.
