"What! There’s an issue with the food supply at the back. What exactly is going on?"
Faced with the information from the rear, the Beastman city lord, struggling with a chaotic city, roared in fury.
The ssenger, bending his back and speaking carefully, said:" My lord, we don’t exactly know what happened. But if you don’t think of a solution, we are not going to have a single grain harvested this year."
"Damn it, shift the fourth and fifth legions there! Moreover, bring along ten priests, this must be human mischief."
Never expecting this severity, the Beastman city lord imdiately prepared to dispatch his army to chasten the despicable human mage. They hadn’t yet captured the human who recently stirred up trouble in the beastman city, and now another had appeared.
Who else could cause such chaos if not humans? He had been the city lord for many years, and this was the first ti he faced such a situation.
The poor city lord felt as if his beautiful mane was about to be pulled clean off his head.
Outside the city, two stealthy individuals discussed, having heard this.
"Under these circumstances, this could not have been done by the inhabitants of this world. After all, this is an ordinary first-tier Derived World. I don’t rember any similar intelligence, so it must be that man’s doing."
"Wait, Jing Tian, we don’t know whether he’s alone or part of a team. Let’s just give up."
Song Xia grew increasingly suspicious: "Have you forgotten? We just found out that Wood Shield City has been destroyed. This is not the work of a single man."
"Don’t worry, even if anyone survived, there’s likely only one left. Creating such upheaval was probably for the purpose of an advancent quest. While we don’t know why soone who’s completed it refuses to leave, this is our golden opportunity."
After a brief silence, Song Xia finally agreed: "Alright, I’ll go along with your madness this ti. Eliminating a genius from the China Region is comndable."
As from the East Sea District, they were naturally antagonistic towards the people of the China Region who occupied fertile land. This antagonism began a thousand years ago and remained unchanged despite over five hundred years of historic changes. Secret maneuvers were commonplace.
If the Asia Alliance were not so powerful, they would not have submitted. But such submission did not sit well with them. They harbored resentnt and desired a higher position within the Asia Alliance.
The two individuals quietly left with the Beastman army, heading in the direction of the rear food-producing areas.
However, these two constantly hid within the Beastman army and had no intention of erging.
On the other hand, upon discovering the Beastn, Du You hid himself and quietly observed them. The beastman army was thousands strong.
There was no hope in a direct fight. It seed he could only hit and run.
Just as the Beastn arrived, they saw the sandstorm ravaging the land and the crops being constantly destroyed. The Beastman leader’s eyes turned red.
"Where’s the farm manager? Get the hell out." The leader roared.
"Reporting to the Wild Wolf Captain, the farm manager is dead. We found a lot of corpses over there. They seem to have been killed by arrows, but we found no weapons. Their wounds have magic fluctuations, likely the work of a mage."
"Perfect, those despicable humans again, attack that area."
The Wild Wolf Captain pointed towards the sandstorm, and the Beastn began hurling their weapons towards it. Those without ranged weapons picked up the rocks on the ground and threw them over. However, there were no signs of life.
So cannon fodder Half-Beastn rushed in and due to their levels being too low, they were killed by the sandstorm in no ti. This convinced them that the sandstorm was unnatural.
"How are we doing? Have you found anything?" Song Xia asked, carefully addressing Jing Tian.
Jing Tian was staring at the detector: "We’ve got it, there’s an energy source underground, surrounded by the sandstorm. Only one person, it must be that mage. It was hard to attack him yesterday when he was in the sky. Today we’ve co prepared, we must succeed."
"Then be quick about it and don’t waste ti. Success will help us gain a higher position and lay more plans. We need to bring back enough Crystal Coins this ti."
The two tinkered with the Magic Gathering Cannon. anwhile, Du You was getting ready to make his move.
Just as Du You was about to act, the two had already calibrated their Magic Gathering Cannon. The target was the Death Scorpion underground. "Perfect, this is the place. You’re dead."
Jing Tian’s eyes grew wide as he brutally unleashed the Magic Gathering Cannon. A red light beam shot straight out, flashing into the sandstorm. The sudden appearance of the red light imdiately caught Du You’s attention.
"It’s them again. This attack is stronger than yesterday’s. Wait, those are two humans, not Beastn."
Du You squinted, finally noticing the two humans hiding in the troop. Their tiny stature was incomparable to the Beastn, so he hadn’t noticed them earlier. The odd thing in front of them, akin to a pot cover antenna, must be the Magic Gathering Cannon ntioned earlier.
"Why... why isn’t it disappearing? Isn’t he dead yet?"
The two n from the East Sea District looked incredulously at the scene ahead. Unbeknownst to them, the Death Scorpion was actually quite small. They had aid for the magic concentration area, but the sandstorm distorted their aim, causing a minor deviation.
But this slight deviation allowed the Death Scorpion to avoid a fatal blow. Although it was severely hurt, the Death Scorpion wasn’t the kind of creature that fought using its own body. As long as its skill didn’t cease, the sandstorm wouldn’t either.
"This is bad, we should leave imdiately. We’ve surely been discovered by that person." Song Xia was tense.
"No, we’ll go one more round. There’s still one last chance. If we leave now, the mission would certainly fail. This last strike can surely kill that human. We must launch it regardless."
"Stop wasting ti, if we don’t go now, we might not have the chance."
"It’s just a person. Even if we fought face-to-face, we might not lose. If you’re scared, go back by yourself."
The two began quarreling over whether to stay. anwhile, Xiaozi in the sky began her attack. Thunder Light Orbs rained down from the sky, their targets were those two individuals.
Song Xia abruptly drew his long knife and slashed, splitting the Thunder Light Orb in half.
