Chapter 116: Lazarus Third Life!
Chapter 116: Lazarus Third Life!
The Isolde Camp.
Zarek.
Zara and Claire’s eyes shone brightly as they carefully sized up this famous Three Kingdoms general whose name had been passed down through the ages.
Three-order.
Noah’s expression shifted slightly.
Feeling his own strength being suppressed somewhat, he immediately understood.
These famous generals were indeed Three-order.
As for their specific attributes, that was unknown for now, but the sheer oppressive feeling alone was many times stronger than Kael.
"Please lead the way."
Noah said calmly, though he felt a little strange in his heart.
Brooks would actually send out a great general like Zarek to welcome him so far away.
This treatment was much higher than he had imagined, and somewhat unreasonable.
Although he had displayed the powerful ability to break an army alone, what he displayed was not his full strength.
What he broke was merely Ordinary cavalry led by a low-ranking surrendered general.
Such a feat, top-tier generals like Zarek could surely accomplish with ease, and even second-rate generals who were slightly less than top-tier could likely do it.
Noah was still an eccentric and extraordinary person, having not displayed any ability to command troops.
For someone like him to come and defect, facing the immense pressure from the Weston great army like Mount Tai pressing down, the Vane Army, who were desperate for talent, would value him.
But valuing him to this extent was clearly not quite right.
"Please follow me."
Zarek nodded.
He flipped onto his horse, gave a light shout, and saw the white horse beneath him suddenly let out a long neigh.
Its four hooves seemed to step on air as it galloped towards the sky as if on level ground.
"It’s flying, it’s flying!"
Zara watched, dumbfounded.
If Zarek took to the air, she wouldn’t be surprised, but for his mount to also be able to fly through the air undoubtedly gave her a great shock.
Rose slowly let out a long breath: "After all, this is a mythological Three Kingdoms.
Although it has declined now, it’s understandable that a treasured horse can fly."
"I’ll be right back."
Noah said to Rose and the others, then rose into the air and quickly chased after them.
The two sides, one in front and one behind, moved faster and faster, quickly breaking the sound barrier.
Upon reaching this speed, the white treasured horse seemed to have reached its limit and didn’t increase its speed further.
Before long, a high peak appeared before them.
The white treasured horse slowly decelerated and leaped onto the peak with a few bounds.
Noah followed closely, landing beside Zarek.
"I admire you."
Zarek cupped his hands.
Along the way, he had harbored some thoughts of testing him, and Noah’s performance did not disappoint him.
Peak top.
A young scholar with an elegant face and deep eyes stood up.
It was none other than Zosimus, whose name would go down in history.
"Thank you for your favor towards my Vane, but for now, please do not join my army."
Brooks bowed slightly.
Noah was startled.
He hadn’t expected that Brooks would say something to refuse him right upon meeting.
The Zarek beside him also had a look of confusion.
"Why?"
"An alien star has descended."
Brooks slowly uttered these four words.
He did not hide anything and immediately explained the whole story to Noah.
Only after listening did Noah understand.
It turned out that as soon as he entered the instance, he had alarmed the top strategists of this world.
"Looking at True Energy, observing stars."
These top strategists of the mythological Three Kingdoms could obtain revelations about the future, fortune, and misfortune by observing the stars.
As one of the top strategists in this world, Brooks was not only skilled in observing True Energy and stars but also possessed the ability to conceal heavenly secrets.
Ordinary astrological changes, he could completely conceal.
However, a powerful alien star like Noah, who could cause huge astrological changes, was not something he could conceal the heavenly secrets of.
Once he joined the Vane Army, he would definitely be detected by the top strategists of Weston.
At that time, the Weston Army would surely go all out to annihilate the Vane Army and eliminate the hidden danger that was Noah.
For the Vane Army, this would undoubtedly be a devastating disaster.
Don’t look at how the two sides were confronting each other in the Red Cliff area, seemingly evenly matched.
In reality, the Weston Army, which had unified the north, was far stronger than the combined forces of Vane and Lazarus.
It was just that, in order to decide the south in one battle, the Weston Army did not rashly seek a decisive battle.
Moreover, North Province was newly occupied territory and needed to adjust the Yin and Yang and gather fortune before it could play a role in the upcoming decisive battle.
Both sides were actively preparing for war, seeking an opportunity for victory.
"Not joining is also fine."
Noah’s expression was calm, showing no displeasure at being rejected.
The reason he wanted to join the Vane Army was merely to gather information.
If Brooks could provide the information he wanted, whether or not he joined the Vane Army would have no impact on him, and it would even be more efficient.
"I have three conditions."
Noah said.
"Please speak."
"First, I want to know all information regarding Lazarus."
Noah put forward the question he valued most.
"No problem."
Brooks agreed.
"Second, my companions will join your army. I hope you can provide them with some assistance."
The astrological changes caused by Rose and the others were far less significant than those caused by Noah, and Brooks could easily conceal them, so he readily agreed.
"Third, I want you to help me cultivate."
Noah looked towards Zarek, who was standing below.
The accumulation for the Hundred Battles Martial Canon was already sufficient.
But he had been slow to choose to break through.
Because Noah felt that his accumulation in cultivation techniques was not perfect, and rashly breaking through might result in a new cultivation technique that he wouldn’t be satisfied with.
The background of the mythological Three Kingdoms was incredibly powerful.
Although it had declined now, the inheritance had never been cut off, and there were still so many powerful generals.
Noah had a premonition that he could achieve a huge breakthrough in this world.
Hearing Noah’s third condition, Brooks was startled and did not answer immediately.
Below, Zarek’s eyes, however, flared with burning battle intent, and he said in a deep voice, "Zarek is ready at any time."
...
Noah, having reached an agreement with Brooks, returned alone to meet up with Rose and the others, and briefly explained the situation.
Next, the two sides went their separate ways.
Rose and the others joined the Vane Army faction, working hard for their main quest, while Noah began to look through the information about Lazarus provided by Brooks.
Lazarus was indeed in the Weston faction, the strongest combat power in Charles’s hands, the trump card that could decide the battle.
However, he did not command troops and conquer territories.
Because Lazarus’s state was very special, neither alive nor dead.
Even though he was in the Weston camp, he rarely showed himself.
"Living out a third life."
Noah’s eyes flickered.
That year, the eighteen lords attacked Draven, and the two sides fought a decisive battle in Lisbon, leveling the vast city of Lisbon and completely severing the last dragon vein of the great Han.
In this battle, Lazarus achieved the reputation of being the strongest in the world.
However, under the siege of many top-tier generals, he was severely wounded and on the verge of death.
After swallowing the remaining dragon vein of the Great Han dynasty, he returned from death to life, forcing himself to live out a second life, and his strength improved further.
In the Battle of White Gate Tower, Weston deployed his entire army to surround and kill Lazarus, this peerless fierce general.
Although Lazarus’s strength was greater than in his first life, unfortunately, the troops under his command were far inferior to the Weston Army.
Under the siege of countless soldiers and several top-tier fierce generals, he fell despondently, and his corpse was obtained by Charles.
The dragon vein he had swallowed back then had not been completely exhausted, allowing Lazarus to be resurrected from death once again.
Perhaps due to the insufficient remaining power of the dragon vein, Lazarus, who lived out a third life, lost most of his consciousness.
Although his strength became increasingly powerful, he became a war puppet in Charles’s hands.
