"Was I seeing things?"
Some soldiers on the city wall also saw Shi Wuxie's situation, and couldn't help but rub their eyes, but upon closer inspection, they saw nothing.
Just now, why did I feel like I saw a black reflection on the skin of the man in red?
"What are you seeing things?"
Upon hearing this, another soldier responsible for launching the missile asked in confusion.
"No, no."
The warrior shook his head and looked in the direction of Shi Wuxie with some concern, saying, "Lord Red is getting further and further away. Don't we really need to call him back?"
"Yes, it looks dangerous to me too."
Another soldier said worriedly, "A scout came back and said that, apparently in order to capture our commander, many teleportation arrays have appeared in the Endless Ruins. Some people have been taken away before and their whereabouts are unknown. I'm worried that Lord Red Robe will also be taken away."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the soldier was immediately shocked and said, "How come I don't know? Who told you this?"
"I overheard it by accident."
Upon hearing this, another soldier quickly covered his mouth, looked around, and whispered, "When I heard it, the lord was just saying that he was worried that if it were leaked, the Yaksha would be on guard. The lords are already thinking of a countermeasure and are planning to use this to their advantage, so they didn't say it out loud."
"I see. But when will those adults come up with a solution?"
The soldier said somewhat disapprovingly, "Otherwise, if things continue like this, I'm afraid many people will accidentally fall victim to it."
Not only adults, but also spies.
"No, you'll be fine as long as you don't leave the city."
Another soldier whispered, "Didn't the general recently issue a notice that we shouldn't go out freely and should focus on defending the city?"
"So that's how it is."
The soldier nodded in understanding, then asked, "So, is this why our defensive line has stopped advancing?"
"I'm not sure about that, but the Yakshas have been fighting really hard lately, so I guess they can't advance any further."
Another soldier shrugged and said, "However, we can't rule out the possibility you mentioned."
"What do we do now? The lady in red is still down there."
The warrior was still more worried about Shi Wuxie's situation, "The Red-Clothed Lord is unaware of this, what if..."
"Um…"
Upon hearing this, another warrior said with a strange expression, "Actually, I quite hope that Lord Red Robe will be taken away. With your strength, it would be a piece of cake for the opposing camp to wipe out the entire enemy force."
"Well…""
This statement left the soldier speechless for a moment.
Because that is indeed the case.
Didn't you see? Shi Wuxie is an unkillable monster!
Therefore, for the sake of the greater good, the two warriors ultimately chose to remain silent, but they would occasionally keep an eye on Shi Wuxie's situation to prevent him from being accidentally taken away by the teleportation array.
After all, that's what they say, but if they actually fall into enemy territory, the odds are probably against them.
Below the city, thanks to the new weapons, the warriors were much more relaxed. They no longer needed to specifically target the yakshas jumping down from above, and all they had to do was prevent them from climbing onto the city walls.
This situation was something the soldiers had never imagined before; they were all somewhat stunned and found it hard to believe.
