I Use Illusions to Control the Whole World

[A rare illusion-type novel on the market: Nightmare Invasion + Original Instances]

Su Mu had the same dream every night.

And every time he woke up from the dream, his mental power woul...

Chapter 383: Disunity makes it difficult to lead a team

"My Lord Marquis, the situation is like this. The Golden Nightmare is not very strong. It is too cunning and comes and goes without a trace. Lord Yuchi has fought with it many times and even set up a trap, but it never took the bait. As soon as there was a slight disturbance, it would immediately flee.

So it's useless for you to bring more people with you. On the contrary, it will alert the enemy. Lord Yuchi has specifically told you to go to the base to rest after you arrive. After resting, stay in the coastal city to clean up those who have sneaked into the city. Leave the front line to Lord Yuchi."

The sergeant seemed to be afraid that Su Mu would feel looked down upon, so he hurriedly added: "The front line is a large-scale military operation, which is not conducive to your special operations team to fight, but it is different in the city. You have seen the current state of the coastal city, which is caused by those who slipped through the net.

They took advantage of the border wall not being fully built to sneak into the city and wreak havoc. There are so many people in the city that we can't do anything. Your special operations team is made up of nightmare apostles, so they will definitely be more adept at dealing with this situation, so... what do you think?"

Su Mu nodded: "Lead the way."

The group followed the sergeant to the base, and through observation along the way, they gained a deeper understanding of the basic situation of the coastal city.

Although the Seaside City has been invaded by some nightmares, there are still a large number of residents in the city. It's just that these people usually dare not go out unless there are special circumstances. It's okay during the day, but especially at night, the Seaside City is as quiet as a ghost town, and residents dare not make too much noise even at home.

After arriving at the base, Sumu could see from afar the huge high wall built around the coastal city.

It was a high silver wall shining with a cold metallic luster, winding and crouching like a giant dragon, like a steel backbone standing between the earth and the ocean.

However, this high silver wall has not yet been completed and there are still many gaps.

"Fuck, such a large city wall can't be built entirely with mithril? How much money would it cost?" Lin Nanxing was shocked.

"How is that possible?" Lin Lingling clasped her hands behind her head and looked at the city wall. "That's a city wall made of mithril alloy. It's just that some mithril is mixed into other metals. If it were made entirely of mithril, all the mithril mines in the entire Red Flame Empire wouldn't be enough."

"My Lord Marquis, the conditions are very simple. We are sorry to trouble you to take a rest for a while." The sergeant said politely.

"No need. Take out the information about nightmares in the city and the map of the coastal city." Su Mu waved his hand.

The sergeant was slightly surprised: "Are you going to take action now?"

"Um."

"Yes, please wait a moment."

The sergeant turned and left, and soon came back with a thick stack of files and maps.

"Mr. Marquis, the information and maps about Nightmare are all here. I have also said hello to the city guards and law enforcers. If you encounter any problems during your operation, you can contact them. I have a mission to complete, so I will take my leave now."

"Well, go ahead."

The sergeant saluted respectfully and then led his men away.

After he left, Lin Nanxing came over and said, "Captain, although this man looks quite polite, I feel like he doesn't care about us. The same goes for the Golden Powerful Yuchi Hong who is in charge. Can't he spare any time? No matter how cunning the Golden Nightmare is, we have so many experienced Nightmare Apostles who can definitely help him, but he doesn't even want to meet him."

"No need to worry about it." Su Mu didn't say much, but took out the files and maps and started looking through them.

A moment later, he gathered more than a hundred Nightmare Apostles and began to issue tasks.

More than one hundred nightmare apostles were in a loose formation, wearing strange and non-uniform clothes, giving off an aura that kept strangers away, like a hundred ruffians.

Just as the sergeant said before, these nightmare apostles are indeed not suitable for large-scale combat. They are more suitable for working alone or in small teams.

If they gather together, they are a pile of shit; if they scatter, they are stars in the sky.

Moreover, these more than one hundred people obviously had different thoughts. Some were very excited and eager to try, some looked indifferent as if they didn't care about anything, and some had obvious resistance on their faces, as if they were very disgusted with coming to the front line.

The impact of the world's destruction is the weakest on the Nightmare Apostles, because they may not live to see the day the world is destroyed. Some of the psychologically twisted ones even think that this is a good thing, since everyone will die and they will not be alone.

The reason why such a group of unruly people can gather here is, firstly, because of the order of the Red King, and secondly, because of Sumu's reputation.

As the captain of the first team that stood out and who had returned safely from two exploration missions, these Nightmare Apostles naturally understood Su Mu's strength.

However, these external factors can only force them to come to the front line. As for how much effort they are willing to contribute, only they themselves know it.

The only way to motivate this group of people is to lure them with benefits.

"If anyone among you feels the signs of a nightmare and is about to be pulled into the nightmare world, please raise your hand." Su Mu looked at everyone and smiled gently.

Everyone looked at each other, and after a moment, a few people raised their hands.

At this time, a burly man with a height of two meters walked out of the crowd. When he walked out of the crowd, everyone discovered that the burly man's left hand was not a human arm, but a metal left arm made of mithril alloy. The precise gears were looming, and the small muzzle and retractable blade were cleverly hidden in it.

"Captain Su, my nightmare symptoms are already very strong. I will probably enter the nightmare world in the next two days. You asked us to raise our hands. Do you intend to exempt us from this mission? After all, if we get injured in Seaside City, it will be difficult for us to survive the next nightmare world."

The burly man expressed the thoughts of most people. These nightmare apostles did not want to get hurt while saving the coastal city. They could certainly save some people, but if they got hurt, who could save them after entering the nightmare world?

Most of the Nightmare Apostles are selfish, because it is difficult for those who are not selfish to survive to this day.

Under the gaze of everyone, Su Mu shook his head: "Everyone must participate in this mission."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people changed their expressions, especially the burly man who stood out first, whose expression looked even uglier.

"Captain Su, although we respect you, our lives are also our lives. You know the dangers of the nightmare world better than we do. To be honest, we are lucky to be alive until now and even promoted to silver. For us, it is not easy to be alive. If we are injured in this mission, even if it is a minor injury, we may die when we enter the nightmare world!"

"Yes, Captain Su, you have become an imperial noble and are willing to work for the empire, but we are nothing. We are just trash that can die at any time. We are not as noble as you!"

Everyone was talking at once, and people's hearts were becoming increasingly agitated, but Su Mu still had a smile on his face.
