When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...
Zhu Penghai's voice made Jiang Yuan's heart skip a beat. He quickly dressed and went downstairs, not dwelling on the fact that Zhu Penghai and Li Tiegen had come together. He simply asked, "What happened! The West Gate has been breached?"
Based on the attack of the ninth-tier spirit beasts last night, it was clear that the beast tide would not be able to enter the South City in a short time. However, the West Gate was breached in just one night, which was completely beyond reason.
"I'm not entirely sure, but according to the intelligence sent back by the brothers in our camp, it seems that the warlord's defensive forces were mobilized, which gave the beast tide an opportunity!" Zhu Penghai looked anxious, and from his equipment, it was clear that he was truly ready to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
"With the enemy at the gates, the warlord of Nancheng actually mobilized his troops to let the beast tide in. This is a mistake that will bring annihilation to Nancheng. How could a warlord make such a basic error!" Ning Yanlan frowned.
"It's hard to explain in a few words. Everyone in the camp is going to support Ximen now, and the warlord has imposed martial law on the whole city. I'm afraid something might happen to you, so I came here specifically to tell you not to go out unnecessarily and to stay here and recover from your injuries!" Zhu Penghai was about to leave with a large sword in his hand. The entire Gale Squad was already waiting for him, and he had to leave quickly.
“I’m an old man with some influence in the camp, so you can all stay here without worry. I’ll go with you to the West Gate to take a look!” Li Tiegen was also preparing to leave. With such a big incident happening at the West Gate, he couldn’t stay out of it.
The two rushed over only to give a special instruction before leaving in a hurry, leaving Jiang Yuan and his group standing there in a daze.
"Two million!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed in disbelief, clenching his fist.
"What should we do? Should we go help?" Li Xiang was at a loss. As a housewife herself, her first reaction upon hearing this was to run away as far as possible.
Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and then asked, "What are your plans? Are you going to help or will you wait here?"
He focused his gaze on Leng Yue, and only then on Ning Yanlan. For his own sake, he did not want Ning Yanlan to take any risks, but if he were to guard the West Gate, it would certainly take a long time, and Ning Yanlan had to be taken along.
“I think the West Gate was a point that the Southern City warlords deliberately abandoned,” Leng Yue said, pausing for a moment before continuing, “Think about it, which side would suffer the most damage if the West Gate fell?”
"Commoners!" Jiang Yuan replied without hesitation.
"Yes, civilians are one aspect. This means that the food and resources stockpiled in the southern city are beginning to show signs of shortage. The southern city warlords need to reduce food consumption, thus choosing to abandon some civilians. Another aspect is that if the southern city warlords withdraw their defenses, then the fall of the western gate will definitely be due to those civilian organizations taking over. If these organizations are constantly depleted of their manpower, who will benefit the most!"
Leng Yue's gaze was cold as she said in a deep voice, "Undoubtedly, he is a warlord of Nancheng. The weaker the other forces are, the more stable Sima Sheng's rule over Nancheng becomes."
"There's no other choice. Those civilians in Ximen are innocent!" Jiang Yuan also considered the pros and cons after Leng Yue's reminder, but what could he do? He still had to do what needed to be done.
Leng Yue sighed, and then Ning Yanlan said, "Ximen definitely has to go, but what identity should he go in? If we just show ourselves like this, we will definitely be targeted by Sima Sheng. In the end, we will not only fail to save people but also lose ourselves. That is a failure that we cannot accept."
"We have no choice but to disguise ourselves! And then go in the name of the Oath Squad!" Jiang Yuan's expression was solemn. It was a risky move, but there was no other option. If the Oath Squad wanted to grow, it had to face all kinds of difficulties, even if they were fraught with danger.
"Are we still going to the trading area today?" Leng Yue asked Jiang Yuan.
They can find what they need in the trading area, which will greatly increase their strength.
"Given the current situation, there probably aren't many people in the trading area. Let's postpone it for a couple of days!" Jiang Yuan said.
"Sister Li, please don't go. Stay home with Xiao Xin this time. Besides, we have a friend who didn't come. If he does come, we hope you'll treat him well!"
"good!"
Li Xiang did not refuse, as she herself did not have much desire to venture out into the world. However, Xiao Xin seemed somewhat sullen.
"Xiao Xin, I'll take you with me next time there's a team mission. This time was too dangerous. You should stay home and cultivate the Annihilation Soul Technique. Only by becoming stronger can you keep up with your older brothers and sisters!" Ning Yanlan squatted down to comfort Xiao Xin.
"Then let's eat before we go!" Li Xiang pointed to the food on the table.
"No!" Jiang Yuan shook his head. He took out several bottles of pills. "These are sixth-order embryonic pills. We should try to consume these as much as possible in the future. They will help us remove acquired impurities from our bodies and greatly benefit our cultivation!"
He originally didn't want to take out the sixth-tier embryonic pill so early, because it was extremely precious.
Six-tier Fetal Pill: A natural crystallization that inherits the creation of heaven and earth and absorbs the essence of the sun and moon.
Before obtaining the Fetal Pill, he disliked its name, finding it too disgusting. However, after taking one after being injured, he changed his mind. The Fetal Pill not only cleansed the marrow and tendons but also greatly replenished the body's energy.
Because the drop rate was 100 times higher than usual, which meant 100 bottles of Tier 6 Fetal Pills, totaling 1,000 Fetal Pills, there was no need to be stingy with such a quantity. So he gave them to Li Xiang and Xiao Xin as well.
"Then let's set off!" Ning Yanlan was driven by a sense of righteousness; she could not stand idly by while Ximen was breached and millions of disaster victims suffered.
How to disguise yourself?
Jiang Yuan said something very important: saving people is fine, but they don't want to see themselves in danger because of it.
"The concealing robe can hide my figure, but my face is a bit difficult to deal with!" Leng Yue put on the hood of the robe, but no matter how low she pulled the brim down, she couldn't hide her face. And a beauty like her would be too easily recognizable on the street in broad daylight.
