Chapter 1017: Chapter 669 Regent King

"So we just wait for the people of the Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty’s second empire to make a move?" Qiu Wentian asked, "Just sit here and wait?"

"This is the best strategy, since the second empire has attacked players before, it’s not wise for us to show up rashly," Li Changhe thought for a moment and added, "Although none of the four of us are assassin players, Brother Ting has an Assassin Rank heroic spirit form. Whether for tracking or monitoring, they can’t escape. Plus, with Chen Yu’s energy perception, as soon as they make a move, we will be able to respond."

Indeed, assassin players are most suited for this kind of situation, be it sneak attacks, poisoning, surveillance, or assassination... they can be extremely effective in complex environments.

Of course, assassin players are also very dangerous. Once discovered, they are basically going to be surrounded and attacked.

Inside the Yanyun division, there are two assassin players who have become team captains.

One is the captain of the fourth team, who, after being accidentally discovered during a stealth mission in the disaster fog, picked up an axe and slaughtered over a hundred Terror Devils.

The other is none other than Chen Guang (self-proclaimed)... Yes, this combat-murdering Extraordinary Soldier is actually a battlefield assassin.

He would stealthily approach his target and erupt with all his strength in the fastest speed within a certain range.

And it’s really bad luck for anyone targeted by him.

As long as they are scratched by his black sword, there’s basically no chance of survival.

Of course, rather than calling him an assassin, it’s more appropriate to call him a rapid assault striker. But that doesn’t stop him from glorifying himself.

In fact, Li Changhe had witnessed several powerful female assassin players.

One was his old teammate, Mo Mang, who had the skill to help most of her teammates conceal their presence.

However, during the Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty task, she lost one of her eyes.

Later, Li Changhe got his hands on an all-purpose medicine, and thought of sending it over to heal her eye. She returned it though and mentioned that she had already mastered explosive magic. It was quite chuuni. But in reality, she upgraded her injured eye into some sort of offensive Magic Eye.

The other was an enemy from Mysterious Island, Lady Nanzhuang.

Her combat skills were very strong, closely rivaling Qiu Wentian.

"The only pity is that I can only maintain the heroic spirit state for two hours. If the opponent’s actions take too long, I might not be able to see them through to the end," Yun Ting said, "Of course, compared to assassin players who risk their lives, my trait of being able to be summoned back by you at any time is quite safe."

As a Symbiotic Body, Li Changhe could dissolve Yun Ting’s heroic spirit state at any moment, and Yun Ting would be instantly brought back by the Seal of the Heroic Spirit.

If not for this assurance, Li Changhe wouldn’t consider letting Brother Ting take the risk of infiltration.

And for Yun Ting, the thrill of boasting and then escaping was stimulating indeed.

Soon, as the sky gradually darkened.

Li Changhe took out the flour-based food he had prepared; after all, players dared not consume food from this narrative world.

Especially after discovering the various differences in Xuan City. Therefore, Li Changhe often carried a lot of food in his backpack. In necessary times, he could always set up a noodle stall on the spot.

While eating, they discussed their next course of action.

It was just when Chen Yu had eaten two large bowls of noodles, and Xiao Nan and Qiu Wentian had teased him about eating himself to death,

Chen Yu’s expression shifted slightly, and putting down his chopsticks, he said, "They are reaching out to someone through Extraordinary Cause and Effect..."

"Reaching out to the Chenhai Empire?" Li Changhe’s eyes flickered, "Good. Let’s see what their plans are."

Elsewhere, Guo Yi and several invitees had a few laughs in a casual conversation before returning to their own rooms.

Accompanying him back to his room were two tall and broad soldiers, who were armored warriors not yet donned in their armor.

One of them was carrying a package the size of a suitcase.

After returning to their room, they dropped their smiles. Having checked that there was nothing amiss, they unpacked the parcel.

They took out a short flag and a blank scroll.

As one of the tall soldiers clasped the short flag with both hands, flowing ink drawings began to appear on the scroll.

Minutes later, the images of two figures sitting in chairs materialized on the scroll. The scene was lifelike, and the figures moved as though they were on an electronic screen.

Both individuals appeared quite elderly, but they possessed strong builds and an aura that commanded respect and intimidation.

"A lad from the Guo family?" one of the old men inquired.

"I’ve seen you, General Zhang. I’ve seen you, Regent King." Guo Yi knelt on one knee before the scroll and bowed with his fist in his palm as a salute.

"Hahaha, no need for such formalities. Sit." The elder who had spoken earlier waved his hand, "So you mean to say, you’ve entered Xuan City? Did you find any trace of your brethren from the last group?"

"We’ve been waiting here for quite some time, but there’s no sign of them." Guo Yi responded, "Perhaps they’ve already... but the good news is, the entrance hasn’t been sealed. Xuan City likely hasn’t discovered this place yet. The sacrifice of our predecessors hasn’t been in vain."

"Hmm... Proceed with caution." said the old man, "If anything seems amiss, leave Xuan City at once. An army group is fifty li from Xuan City. Xuan City must have sensed this as well, so they probably won’t deal with you openly."

"General, the Guo family fights to the death!" Guo Yi replied.

"Follow orders!" The elder’s voice trembled slightly, seeming quite angry, "There’s only you left from the Guo family, you shouldn’t have been allowed to... alas..."

At this point, another old man who had remained silent thus far spoke up, "Guo Yi, did you encounter anything unusual on your journey?"

"Unusual?" Guo Yi considered for a moment and then reported the incident of being attacked by bandits and the killing of Jindeng.

"You’re saying a small girl knocked a berserk soldier flying with a single punch?" The voice of the old general trembled. "Her surname... is it Mo? Does she have many invisible hands?"

"Zhang Liang, shut your mouth!" The other elder scolded sharply, even calling out the old general’s name directly.

"I knew it, we couldn’t hide it; they are bound to find us, they will definitely find us," the old general murmured to himself.

Guo Yi was puzzled by the reactions of General Zhang and the Regent King but still shook his head, "No, it was just a simple and powerful punch that sent the berserk soldier flying."

"I see..." the other elder spoke, "Then the three women and one man you met must be, the Exotic people."

"What’s that?" Guo Yi was puzzled. As part of the Auxiliary Army, his knowledge was limited.

He had thought the girl was a martially adept Transcendent.

The two armored warriors by his side, however, visibly tensed, a flash of dread crossing their eyes.

"If you come back alive, you’ll learn about it once you become an armored warrior. Right now, what you need to do is to complete the Task and stay alive," the elder said.

"Yes, for Chenhai!" Guo Yi saluted once more.

After that, the images disappeared, leaving behind the blank scroll.

Guo Yi, thoughtful, turned and saluted to an armored warrior beside him, "Centurion, what exactly are these Exotic people? Why do I feel like General Zhang fears them greatly?"

"Sigh..." the Centurion helped Guo Yi up and heaved a deep sigh, "You’ll find out. If you live to return, you will know all there is to know."

In Chenhai, civilians and members of the Auxiliary Army often saluted the armored warriors as a sign of respect.

And all the armored warriors knew that when they saw that one individual,

They had no choice but to kneel.

To beg the individual, to forgive their betrayal.
