Chapter 266: Open the City Gate
“What’s wrong? Why did Tu You tell us not to open the city gate yet?”
Xiao Yi Fei couldn’t understand the message on the optical computer, but Sang Jing Wen said, “Since Tu You said to wait, then let’s wait.”
After speaking, he looked at Shi Feng, Lin Shao Qing, Xue You, Xi Rui, and the others: “Shi Feng, Xi Rui, you two take your people and be on guard first.”
“Yes.”
The two each led a team of orcs and walked out directly.
Xue You sensed Li Ming’s aura and directly projected his image using a magic array: “This little rat has entered.”
Sang Jing Wen looked at the team that had entered and frowned slightly: “Xue You, can you sense their supernatural ability levels?”
“There are seven people similar to you, also spiritual cultivators, and five level five supernatural ability users, and five level six ones. We can deal with the invisibility rats directly, it’s not a big problem.”
Sang Jing Wen: “Okay, I understand. Let them in first, and have five invisibility rats follow each of them, sticking close.”
Xue You was stunned for a moment, then smiled: “Alright, but five to watch one, are you looking too highly upon these people?”
Sang Jing Wen: “Ensure there are no mistakes. We have plenty of invisibility rats anyway.”
Xue You: “Fine, you’re in charge now.”
Invisibility rats have extremely strong reproductive capabilities, and they had already had several litters.
Fortunately, all the invisibility rats could be stored in a single card, otherwise, with so many rats, it would be difficult to use them if each required its own card.
Sang Jing Wen: “Han Song, Zhou Changyi, Wang Jin, Zhao Shijun, each of you will lead a team of demonic beast legions to patrol from the City Lord’s Mansion towards the city wall. Once you find any intruders, kill them without mercy.”
Han Song looked at the screen and then at Sang Jing Wen, somewhat confused about the meaning of this action: “Brother Wen, should we kill these people if we see them too?”
Sang Jing Wen: “Kill them. At least, we need to show them on the surface that we are on high alert.”
Zhou Changyi instantly understood Sang Jing Wen’s thoughts, and for a moment, he couldn’t reconcile the current Sang Jing Wen with his usual self.
Han Song was about to ask why they were doing this, but Zhao Shijun grabbed him and took the demonic beast legion cards from Sang Jing Wen, saying, “We understand, Brother Wen. We’ll leave now.”
“Okay, go.”
Han Song was still asking outside the door: “Why? Didn’t we already have invisibility rats monitoring them? Why do we still need to patrol and kill them if we see them?”
Zhou Changyi glanced helplessly at Zhao Shijun. Seeing that the latter had no intention of explaining, and Wang Jin remained silent, he could only patiently explain slowly: “Big Brother, think about it. If we saw them while patrolling and didn’t act, how would you feel?”
Han Song: “I’d definitely think it was a trap!”
Zhou Changyi: “Then what if we chased and killed them the moment we saw them?”
At this moment, Han Song suddenly realized: “So that’s how it is. Brother Wen’s idea is to lure them all in and then carry out a massacre!”
Wang Jin finally spoke: “That’s right. We don’t know if they have any communication methods, so we can’t alert them. But if they show themselves, we can openly kill them first.”
Zhao Shijun: “Big Brother, haven’t you noticed that the cards we have are all low-level demonic beasts?”
Han Song’s thoughts had been entirely focused on why they needed to act when there were invisibility rats following them, and he hadn’t paid attention to the cards in his hands.
Seeing that they were all uniformly white cards, Han Song exclaimed in surprise: “Tsk tsk, this Sang Jing Wen is quite ruthless. He’s planning to create the illusion that although there are many experts in the city, their combat power is not strong!
Currently, the most conspicuous ones are us. But we are assigned to patrol. Although Sai Yue and Xi Rui have high magic levels, they are not spiritual cultivators or supernatural ability users, so outsiders have no idea of their true strength. Even Li Ming doesn’t know how the demonic beasts in the city are classified by level. He probably thinks that the strongest combat power in the entire city is us.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Shijun found it amusing. Although Hai Cheng had many patrolling demonic beasts, they were mostly ordinary ones. High-level demonic beasts were all held by supernatural ability users.
Fusion with demonic beasts also took place in specialized locations, with a level of secrecy that ordinary people like Li Ming couldn’t access.
Han Song: “I’m actually a bit curious when the battle armor will officially make its debut. It will definitely blind these people!”
Zhou Changyi: “It’s unlikely. Their supernatural abilities are not even comparable to ours. If those high-level demonic beasts are deployed, they can basically wipe everyone out. It probably won’t be the battle armor’s turn to appear.”
They had seen the battle armor and its integration with people. Although some were used by ordinary people, their combat effectiveness was not bad. There were also high-level demonic beasts feeding moves to those operating the battle armor, leading to rapid progress.
Even elders, when using battle armor, with the defense system activated, even Han Song and the others couldn’t easily break through their defenses.
No wonder Xi Rui said before that she lost a few battle armors in the Monster Transformation World, and it almost cost her half her life.
Zhao Shijun: “Alright, let’s stop chatting and get to business. I’ll head towards the seaside, what about you guys?”
“I’ll take this side then.”
“Okay, then let’s go our separate ways. Be sure to pay attention to your safety and return safely!”
Although Han Song didn’t think there would be any danger, he still hoped everyone would return safely. That was the most important thing.
Zhou Changyi, whose face was usually expressionless, also showed a smile: “Don’t worry, Big Brother. We will all return safely, and so will you. After this matter is over, we’ll go pick up Xiao Lei and bring him home!”
“Yes, and then we brothers will go get some drinks and get thoroughly drunk!”
“Okay!”
The four walked off in different directions, their steps firm and their backs straight.
Inside the house, Sang Jing Wen received a message from Tu You saying it was okay to open the gate. He immediately stood up: “Open the gate, let’s go meet Li Ming’s boss!”
Xiao Yi Fei jumped up from his chair with a whoosh: “Let’s go, let’s go, I can’t wait to see the battle armor legion!”
Xue You: “Then you guys go. I’m going to take a nap. These days are so annoying!”
After speaking, he walked towards the hospital. Sang Jing Wen immediately understood his intention, but the others didn’t. Sang Jing Wen pretended not to know.
“We’ll call you after we’re done.”
Xue You just waved his hand and said nothing.
Xiao Yi Fei looked at the two of them curiously: “What are you two doing? What kind of charades are you playing?”
“Nothing, let’s go out and take a look.”
As soon as Sang Jing Wen and Xiao Yi Fei stepped out, they saw a flying boat approaching them. Xiao Yi Fei’s eyes widened: “My heavens, this boat can fly!”
Xi Rui returned with a team of people and walked up to Xiao Yi Fei and the others: “There are less than a hundred people on the boat. We can temporarily not expose the existence of the battle armor.”
Sang Jing Wen thought for a moment and sent a message to Grandma Yun Xiang: 【 Grandma, the battle armor group will stand by for now. You just need to lead a team of patrol soldiers to guard the main entrance. 】
【 Okay, I understand. I’ll go now. 】
