The Shadow Dragon Guard is an intelligence organization loyal to Jonathan Pendragon.
They have received strict training and basically possess the strength of fifth-level and sixth-level scouts.
All Shadow Dragon Guards only obey the orders of Grand Duke Jonathan and perform various exploration missions.
It can be said to be the secret army under the Grand Duke.
The number of Shadow Dragon Guards is small and training costs are high.
Its creation is modeled entirely on the Arthurian Hermit of the Crow.
At that time, the Black Crow Hermit's spies were all over the continent, responsible for infiltrating enemy countries, intelligence reconnaissance, assassination and destruction, etc., and assisted King Arthur in laying the foundation of the kingdom for future generations.
But thousands of years ago, when King Arthur passed away, the Black Crow Hermit disappeared overnight.
Later, after the new king of Pendragon was crowned, a similar intelligence organization would always be formed.
There used to be an organization called "Hidden Dragon" under the command of the old King Guser, but in the past few years after the old king lost power, it was dismembered and divided by various grand dukes.
Based on the members of the "Hidden Dragon", Archduke Jonathan developed the Shadow Dragon Guard, Archduke Chloé developed the Redbud Guard, and the more low-key Archduke Radhe founded the Blood Guard.
These three major organizations inherited the foundation of the "Hidden Dragon" and had a series of privileges under their respective Grand Dukes.
They will sneak into any city in the kingdom under the instructions of the Grand Duke.
Regarding the situation in the central and eastern part of the Kingdom of Avalon, this is the area where Grand Duke Jonathan and Grand Duke Chloé are fighting for each other. Both sides have arranged their sentinels in giant cities in this vast area and even in strategically located states.
The giant city of Lentax is no exception.
According to the strategy module, there are four Shadow Dragon Guard spies lurking in the city.
There are dozens of informants and dozens of secret outposts similar to "safe houses".
The Dabos Gladiator Twins and the Fire Mage Doris Hall are now rushing to one of the secret safe houses.
Through [Information Deduction] and real-time feedback from the strategy module, Zong Shen has a perfect grasp of the three people's itinerary.
He quickly left the first circle with Xiao Heizi, found a relatively hidden alley and started to use [Wandering Walk] to quickly travel.
The time difference is his biggest advantage. If he gains an extra minute now, he will be able to deal with it more calmly.
…
Just when the master and servant were on their way.
The three legendary strongmen from the giant city of Dabos were also rushing towards the safe house.
In order not to reveal their identities, they did not take any transportation.
The Shadow Dragon Guard who was originally responsible for the connection had no time to take care of it due to the urgent information that the transmission node was closed.
They must convey this news to Archduke Jonathan as soon as possible.
The Shadow Dragon Guard's ultra-long-distance communication method in the city requires a relatively cumbersome startup process.
After all, the distance from the giant city of Lentax to the imperial city of San Sebastian is very long.
If you want to achieve long-distance communication on such a distance scale, you have to use special high-level magical objects, and then you have to use those magic communication devices that are cumbersome to operate.
The former is very precious and is by no means a common commodity.
For example, the communication mirror used by Prince Carter is a high-level magical object.
You can easily contact the Duke in the Imperial City.
However, as the Shadow Dragon Guard is an intelligence organization scattered across various places, it is naturally impossible for them to arrange a high-level rare item.
They use a set of long-distance magic energy communication equipment similar to a crystal communication tower.
It needs to be set up and activated in advance, and the communication is very unstable. Communication across hundreds of thousands of kilometers even requires luck, so the Shadow Dragon Guard in the city must call continuously within half an hour.
Wait until the connection is successful before passing the information to the Imperial City!
This is already a relatively efficient communication method under the current distance scale.
Message delivery takes precedence over connectors.
Moreover, due to the sudden closure of the teleportation node, the fact that the Dabos Gladiator Twins and the Fire Mage arrived in the giant city early was due to changes in the itinerary along the way.
Therefore, the three of them had no choice but to go to the safe house and contact the Shadow Dragon Guard in person.
The prince who should have taken this matter seriously failed to receive the news in time.
This ultimately led to this embarrassing situation.
To be honest, Prince Carter's temperament is not good, and he often thinks one thing at a time.
Serving such a master is also a kind of torture.
Basically, the result was that the subordinates worked hard to get things done, but the prince himself didn't care.
In order to avoid suspicion, Archduke Jonathan could not use the communication mirror to contact him at all times.
This caused the prince to seem a little aloof and unconcerned.
Just as the Dabos Gladiator Twins and Doris Hall were rushing towards their destination.
Suddenly, an invisible force enveloped the three of them in the street.
A trance of spatial movement appeared, and the next moment, the three of them appeared in a green pasture.
The surrounding terrain is extremely flat, and it looks like it should be a grassland somewhere.
There is also a mountain range extending into the distance in the north.
The air is extremely fresh, and you can still hear the vibrating wings of crickets in the grass.
The meadow underfoot is soft and elastic.
The three of them understood that they were no longer in the giant city of Lentax.
I raised my head and saw a cotton-like white cloud slowly drifting by.
The only drawback is that there is no sun in the sky!
In the Endless Continent, the sun is an independent dimensional world.
This secret is not known to everyone, but as legendary strong men, the three of them still know about it.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west every day, shining on the entire continent at the same time.
But here, there is no trace of the sun in the sky.
All light sources come from the sky dome.
The entire zenith is like a lampshade, emitting even and soft light.
"You two, something doesn't seem right here..."
Under the cover of her pocket, the petite Doris spoke first.
She raised the fiery red orb in her hand and instantly activated a magic shield.
The crimson shield flowed like an inverted glass bowl, completely covering the three of them.
After successfully casting the spell, Doris came to a new conclusion.
"The elemental magic power is operating normally, but the free magic power is relatively thin."
"This is most likely a demiplane or an independent small world space."
Spellcasters pursue the truth and read a lot of books in addition to meditation.
Therefore, most senior spellcasters also have the status of bachelors of the city.
Doris was very knowledgeable and quickly analyzed a conclusion based on the surrounding situation.
Upon hearing her words, Bridger Sorenson, the more irritable brother of the Gladiator Twins, frowned immediately. He raised his right foot, gathered strength and then stamped it down suddenly.
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
The ground trembled momentarily, as if a heavy pile driver was hammering the ground.
The shock wave of dust visible to the naked eye swayed from the landing point at Bridger's feet.
His right foot fell towards the ground as he stomped, and a crack as thick as an arm burst out, extending along the point of output. Just such a stomp had an earthquake-like effect.
"Um…"
"Not a demiplane."
"The elements are evenly distributed here."
"Those demiplanes tend to have a single element that is more prominent."
Bridger Sorenson's gaze became extremely penetrating as he looked at the cracks, as if he wanted to see through the structure of the earth's crust.
At this time, the elder brother of the gladiatorial twins also noticed something was wrong.
He stretched out a strong arm, constantly fanning the air in front of his nose and sniffing.
This is his personal talent, with a sense of smell comparable to that of a Zerikan hunter.
"The air is very light, and there is not much smell from living things."
