"No one is causing trouble..."

"The Immortal Sect's envoys are on patrol. Who dares to cause trouble at this critical moment?"

Some guests put down their wine glasses, looked at each other, and discussed in low voices.

City Lord Xiao's face darkened instantly. He turned to the eunuch beside him and ordered, "Go and see what happened. If necessary, you can..."

"My Lord, this is bad!"

But just as he was giving his orders, a fully armed guard rushed in, shouting in a panic,

"What are you panicking about?! How dare you yell in front of the Immortal Sect's envoys?" City Lord Xiao scolded everyone, then asked in a deep voice, "What happened outside?"

"City Lord, a powerful enemy is invading!" The guard took a few deep breaths before speaking in a flurry, "Yangchong Gate has been destroyed, and the first cavalry battalion to arrive has been completely annihilated. Commander Chen is mobilizing the main battalion to suppress the enemy."

"Yangchong Gate destroyed?! The Third Cavalry Battalion annihilated?!" City Lord Xiao's expression darkened even further. "Ridiculous! How could there be an enemy nation surrounding Youcheng? There aren't even any other animals, so how could the enemy destroy the city gate?! Do you know that lying about military intelligence is a capital offense?!"

Although the seven major cities all had military camps, they were not actually for external use, but for internal use. Some people in the underworld were highly skilled in martial arts and could not be defeated by ordinary constables, so regular soldiers had to be dispatched to encircle and suppress them.

But even so, the main camp had not been mobilized for many years, and there were not many truly elite troops, and the 3rd Cavalry Battalion was one of them. It was completely nonsense to say that the entire army was wiped out in such a short period of time.

"No, he's telling the truth."

At this moment, Long Yan just walked in slowly and fired a cannon at the city lord's guards who were approaching him with knives.

"What a weak cold weapon..."

He looked at the guard who had a big hole in his chest and fell down in disbelief, and couldn't help but smile with some contempt.

I thought there should be extraordinary creatures inside the ruins, but I didn't expect that they were just ordinary people holding iron tools. The so-called elite soldiers couldn't even withstand half a round of artillery fire.
