At this point, Qin Xiao asked Slovic a question.
"I... I don't actually know how they found out my whereabouts. I only know that they have some infiltration within the capital."
Slovic said somewhat embarrassedly, but thinking that the other party might be dealing with these cultists, she looked at Qin Xiao with bright eyes.
"Mayor, do you think there's any hope if we ask General Hu for help?"
Qin Xiao pondered for a moment and said that he was not that arrogant. There might be two diamond-level enemies, and the possibility of failure was high.
They could handle all the Platinum-level enemies themselves; he, the Beastmaster, and Ye Qingya could easily deal with seven or eight Platinum-level enemies.
However, opponents don't follow the rules. If two Diamond-level opponents appear, then you'll have to seek backup from forces of the same level.
Ye Qingya thought about Qin Xiao's question for a moment.
"It should be fine. General Hu's mission is to ensure the safety of the secret realm's base."
However, there is also the task of developing this secret world. If we want to deal with the cult, he should approve.
And Xiao Qin, you should have already joined the Temple of the Gods, right?
Qin Xiao was taken aback. "Uh, I've joined, what's wrong?"
Ye Qingya smiled slightly, "Then things will be even easier to handle."
"You haven't forgotten your authority, have you? Even if General Hu doesn't cooperate or approve..."
If you forcibly mobilize forces to suppress and eliminate cults, the other side will have to obey.
However, this would make it difficult to explain later, and if injuries or deaths occurred, it would be hard to escape accountability afterward.
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, genuinely not having expected this.
The Imperial Shrine, I think, has this clause: mobilizing a portion of the three armies also carries the obligation to combat cults.
However, because this was in a secret realm, he subconsciously didn't think of this.
"In that case, Mayor, would you please return to the capital and inform General Hu to cooperate?"
Slovich and I drove along the town roads toward the city, trying to attract the cult's attention.
Since the enemy is hiding in the shadows, let's lure them out.
"Slovich, write a letter requesting your royal family's cooperation, and ideally, have the current emperor make a brief appearance."
Have the royal family announce to the public that you were enslaved by beings from another world, and that the royal family has come to rescue you. This way, the truth will be blurred.
And with such a large bait, I figured the other side was bound to show itself eventually.
Qin Xiao thought for a moment and then spoke to Slovic and Ye Qingya.
The plan is crude and perfunctory in every way, but precisely because of this, it has no flaws.
The other party wanted to abduct the royal family, so naturally, they were tempted; this was an open scheme.
I'm telling you straight up, I'm right here, come and get me if you dare.
The other party, confident in their strength, will surely be tempted to take the bait as long as they are outside the city.
If the other side were to send the Calabash Brothers to save their grandfather one by one, that would be even better.
Moreover, Qin Xiao and his group really didn't have enough time. Seven or eight days had already passed, and they had to finish the battle quickly.
There wasn't time to conduct thorough investigations, plan carefully, and strategize.
After this job, I'll be going back to Earth for university. It feels a little strange thinking about it.
Ye Qingya and Slovic remained silent for a moment.
"Little Qin, this plan is feasible. In this way, the unusual movements of General Hu and the royal family can be explained."
It can also lull cults into a false sense of security, making them believe that otherworldly beings are about to clash with the royal family.
However, this plan is too risky for you. What if General Hu and the royal family fail to arrive in time?
The pressure and danger you'll face then will be immense.
Slovic also looked at Qin Xiao with a conflicted expression.
Of course, she wanted to eliminate the cult, but now, as Qin Xiao's tamed beast, she also needed to consider her master's safety.
"It's alright. Even if they come at me from all sides, I have a way to escape," Qin Xiao said confidently.
To this day, he still has one trump card up his sleeve, which he has never revealed.
The form of the Peng bird.
As the saying goes, "A roc rises with the wind and soars ninety thousand miles high."
With Yoyo's speed, Qin Xiao was fully confident that even if he was blocked by a Diamond-level opponent, he could still yo-yo.
Ye Qingya was still a little worried, but Qin Xiao reassured her a couple more times, and Ye Qingya finally reluctantly agreed.
On Slovic's side, Qin Xiao also took out paper and pen and asked the other party to write a letter, revealing Qin Xiao's entire plan.
Qin Xiao didn't get too involved in the specific details, letting Ye Qingya take the letter back to the capital, where General Hu would make the arrangements.
With everything settled, everyone had almost finished their dinner.
Ilya built a rock house and slept peacefully through the night.
The next day, the group rode in Yoyo towards the edge of the Endless Forest.
Looking at the vast forest, Qin Xiao was somewhat moved; the harvest this time was truly immense.
If I have the chance, I might come back and take advantage of some more deals.
After traveling for three days, riding on their yoyos, they returned to the edge of the forest in just half a day.
Upon arriving here, Ye Qingya rode her cat and quickly headed towards the imperial city.
If all goes well, we should be able to reach the capital city by tomorrow morning.
After Ye Qingya left, Qin Xiao looked at Slovic, who was still somewhat absent-minded.
"Let's go, let's go around this town and show our faces."
Qin Xiao said casually, and then swaggered off on his horse, Ilya, carrying Slovich, toward the nearest town.
This time, there's no need to pretend to be an orc or a hybrid. What we need is to create an unusual situation. If we don't make a fuss, the cult probably won't be able to find us.
In the afternoon, Qin Xiao traveled along the official road and soon arrived at a large border city.
Looking at the city before him, Slovic murmured.
"This city should be the territory of the pig-men, and it is under the rule of Duke Wichita of the Empire."
Duke Wichita should be a Platinum 6-star, a Pigman, very strong in melee combat, but I have some doubts.
If there's anyone a cult is most likely to learn my whereabouts from, it's the Duke of Wichita.
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "That's perfect. If it really is that pig-like woman, we can take her down and leak our information."
Qin Xiao, carrying Slovic leisurely, entered the town after defeating several orc guards at the gate.
"Be careful of the City Lord's psionic crossbows. Although this city is small, it still has a considerable defensive force."
"It's alright. I don't know how you managed to resist the cult. It's quite bizarre. The city's defenses are so lax; they could easily occupy several cities."
Qin Xiao said somewhat speechlessly, he really couldn't understand how the Swan Clan Empire had managed to reach a stalemate with the cult.
If I were the leader of a cult, it would only take a year to isolate the Swan Clan's royal city and turn them into a cult.
Human rights are inherent, and men and women are equal.
With such a slogan and the advantage of high-end combat power, wouldn't ordinary cities surrender at the mere sight of them?
"That's not how it is, Master. Although the cult seems to have superior high-end combat power, they can't figure out our strength either, and they are very lacking in lower-level forces."
Male orcs are limited by rank, and they are severely short-handed. Even if they occupy a city, they simply cannot govern it.
Qin Xiao remained noncommittal; in any case, this cult was pretty stupid.
