Born Sacred

Chapter 115: Joining The Vane Army!

Looking at Noah, who had broken through the army alone and was incredibly powerful, and feeling the sharpness of the demonic blade on his neck, General of Weston decisively chose to surrender.

Noah, who had captured General of Weston alive, was immediately warmly welcomed by the defending soldiers.

Noah did not participate in the negotiations with the local forces, leaving it to Rose, who was more adept at handling such matters.

After a friendly exchange, Rose returned with enough intelligence from the local forces, and the five of them began to discuss their next plan.

"That defending general recruited us. Once we agree, we will join the Vane Alliance, but not the army. If the Vane Alliance is the regular army, we are mercenaries. The Vane Alliance has a special organization specifically for strange and unusual individuals like us. We can accept missions from that organization, such as disrupting the Weston Army’s rear, assassinating General of Weston, burning grain supplies, and so on."

Speaking of this, Rose smiled, "That general sincerely invited us to join! Of course, it was mainly an invitation to Noah; we were just incidental. He must think that inviting a top expert who can break through an army alone will bring him a lot of benefits."

Noah was not surprised.

He already had a rough understanding of the experts in this world.

One type pursues the power to be concentrated within themselves, while the other is skilled in military formations.

The defending general belonged to the former, while General of Weston belonged to the latter.

And top generals like Lazarus and Garem must possess both, having both strong personal strength and skill in military formations.

Strange and unusual individuals are basically strong in individual combat, and very few are skilled in military formations. Forcing them into the army is not a good thing; it is better to use them as mercenaries, which can better utilize their abilities.

Noah and the others were naturally the same.

They had no objections to becoming mercenaries.

"By the way, joining the Vane Alliance requires a blood pact ceremony first. This ceremony has constraints on both sides. Once the alliance is betrayed, they will immediately suffer a backlash and fall into a weakened state, so Zara’s method is not feasible," Rose said, glancing at Zara.

Zara sighed, completely giving up on her bold idea.

The Weston camp must also have a similar ceremony.

Noah didn’t really care about the backlash. At most, he would die once and refresh his state. If necessary, he wouldn’t mind using it once.

"There’s also something strange. I haven’t heard any news of Lazarus." Rose frowned slightly, "In this mythical Three Kingdoms, Lazarus still has the reputation of being the strongest in the world. Even in North Province, the defending generals have heard of Lazarus’s name, yet he disappeared ten years ago."

Hearing this, Noah’s heart sank.

He had always found it a bit strange that with Lazarus’s reputation, if he were truly in the Weston camp, the Weston Army would definitely promote him greatly to demoralize the Vane Alliance. It wouldn’t be to the point where he couldn’t even be inquired about.

"Historically, Lazarus died about ten years ago." Claire’s expression changed slightly.

"Three-order Ghost God, Ghost God."

Noah was thoughtful, "It seems that even if Lazarus is still alive, his state is not quite right."

"However, since the dungeon is named Red Cliff, he will most likely appear here. Otherwise, searching all over the world would be too difficult."

For Noah, the top priority now was to determine Lazarus’s state and location.

"Let’s go. We’ll go to the Red Cliff area and join the Vane Army," Noah said in a deep voice.

He originally didn’t care whether he joined the Vane Army or the Waltham Army. The town they were in was still Waltham Army territory, and joining the Waltham Army was more convenient. However, on the Vane Army side, there was the famous top strategist Zion.

The strategists and advisors in this world also possess earth-shattering abilities.

Historically, borrowing the east wind was a matter of timing, but in this world, it was probably truly borrowed by Zion with great magical power.

Moreover, Lazarus’s sphere of activity was previously in the north and he also had interactions with Lazarus, so he would definitely know some secrets.

"Eh, are we joining the Vane Army? That’s a shame. I thought we’d be able to see the famous scene of Noah Thrashing Darius?" Zara said with a disappointed look.

"What are you thinking about all day?" Rose hit her playfully.

Immediately, the five of them said their goodbyes and left.

General of Weston was also taken away by them.

This person was named Kael Windsor, a member of the Windsor clan, a prominent family in North Province, and a former general of the North Province Army.

He was originally a surrendered general, no wonder he was sent out to carry out the mission of harassing the rear.

Kael Windsor had no integrity to speak of. After being captured by Noah, he immediately switched sides. However, Noah couldn’t care less about him and had Rose and the others kill him.

To everyone’s disappointment, they did not receive a system notification that the mission was completed.

"Either our mission target must be a true Three-order general, or the contribution and damage we did were too little and were not judged as being killed by us, or perhaps both reasons..." Claire analyzed, and by the end, her expression was a little ugly.

Kael and the defending general were both Tier 2. Although their attribute values exceeded 10,000 and entered the Three-order range, Noah did not feel his strength being suppressed when facing them.

After all, this was a Tier 2 dungeon. It was impossible for any random, unremarkable general to be Three-order.

If the mission wasn’t completed because Kael wasn’t a true Three-order, it wasn’t a big problem. With Noah’s help, it would be very easy to kill a Three-order general.

Even if they were required to make enough contribution in the kill, the difficulty was not great.

There were many generals in the Weston camp. If they faced a Tier 2 general like Kael alone, the four of them were confident.

What they were afraid of was that they would be required to kill a Three-order general and also make enough contribution, which was the most difficult.

Considering this was extremely difficult, Rose and the others were more inclined towards the last possibility.

"We’ll know when we verify it."

...

Riding the tall horses gifted by the defending general, the five of them traveled thousands of miles and approached the Red Cliff area, the Vane Army’s Stationed site.

It is worth mentioning that Lazarus in this world has already occupied the Two regions, with strong soldiers and horses, far from being comparable to his historical role as a mere bystander.

"Rumble~"

A roaring sound much louder than that of the Weston Army led by Kael rose. The ground trembled slightly. Noah and the others looked in the direction of the sound, only to see figures of Bennett approaching at an extremely fast speed in the distance. In an instant, they were before them.

It was a powerful cavalry force, all white horses. Even before they got close, a fierce and bloodthirsty aura surged towards them.

"Whoa~"

The fast-running Bennett’s cavalry came to an abrupt stop, stopping dozens of meters away from Noah and the others.

From extreme movement to extreme stillness, throughout the entire process, all the riders remained silent, demonstrating extremely high military discipline.

Among the Bennett cavalry, the leading general was eight feet tall, dressed in white robes and silver armor, with a face like beautiful jade. He leaped off his horse and cupped his hands in greeting towards the five of them:

"Brooks from Isolde, I have been sent by the strategist to welcome you."
