Chapter 1152: Chapter 1017: Ambushed Chapter 1152: Chapter 1017: Ambushed “`

“It’s strange, that strategist even gave me a map, told me to try several routes, and said the terrain would be rather complex. Why does it seem so easy to find?” Shen Kun muttered to himself.

Following the raiding party, over three thousand people passed through the winding underground river and arrived beneath the natural lake.

The natural lake is probably located in the southern part of the middle city, in fact, not far from Mu Qingyi’s former residence.

The reason why they found this place so smoothly was naturally because Mu Qingyi was very familiar with this underground river. Guided by her, the soldiers even took fewer detours and approached the natural lake directly.

“Send some demon spirits first to see if there are guards,” Shen Kun said to his deputy officer.

One of the deputy officers immediately led some of the more elite Soul Pet Trainer Masters from a small cliff at the lakefront, searching the inner city garden for ambushes.

After a search, there were no signs of enemies. At that time, Shen Kun also took out the city map and said, “This is the first place we’re going to take down, there should be a few strong ones stationed there, everyone must not take it lightly.”

Shen Kun repeated the attack points to everyone, then the teams moved up to the surface, entering the inner city gardens.

Chu Mu had no particular opinion on these matters, just following them was fine.

The city garden was large, originally the land of the Empress of the Mu Clan. Now it seemed somewhat neglected, probably not tended to for a long time.

The lakeside was overgrown with weeds, which provided excellent cover. A group of over three thousand passed by the weedy lakefront, walked through a small grove, and gradually neared the streets outside the palace walls.

As usual, a group of demon spirits went ahead to scout, with the main force following later.

After confirming there was no ambush, over three thousand demon spirits entered a stealth mode in the dark night, silently crossing the street outside the palace walls.

Around the territory of the Mu Clan, the Soul Covenant had built many magnificent structures: various pavilions and towers, high walls and deep courtyards, lavish yet elegant. Fortunately, most of the Soul Pet Masters living here had already gone to attack the City of Wufang, and it was assumed that most of those remaining were the families of the Soul Pet Masters.

Due to the existence of the Neutral Faction, both sides were restrained from massacring the innocents, and, in fact, many wars in history were the battles of different military regimes. Even completely hostile parties absolutely could not commit city slaughters, which would enrage both gods and men. On one hand, rulers were also responsible for all future citizens after taking a city, and on the other hand, countless indifferent Soul Pet Trainer Experts resided within the Human Domain. It was possible for certain experts to have connections within a city, and while these Soul Pet Trainers might not be able to contend with forces, it would be effortless for them to kill a few commanders.

Of course, small-scale massacres, hostages, and vengeance still occurred. War couldn’t be that civilized, often valuing lives less than that of livestock in the eyes of opposing forces.

The raiding party naturally wasn’t interested in visiting the families of the Soul Pet Masters. They hid in the dimness, inching closer to the most central spot of this area, their target for tonight–the City Lord Mansion.

If they could capture the enemy city lord and destroy several key locations, the collapsing Spring City Army, without any route of retreat, would inevitably crumble!

The City Lord Mansion was located in the very center, with many sentry posts.

These sentry posts were easily handled by the assassination experts of the Nightmare Demon Palace, and they soon made it to the front of the City Lord Mansion.

The space in front of the City Lord Mansion was quite broad, with only a newly constructed water altar in the middle.

“Why is this place so open?” Shen Yue whispered softly.

“Yeah, there are some guards, but they won’t be hard to deal with. Just kill our way through!” said Shen Kun.

Although there were several long lines of defense leading to the City Lord Mansion, such defenses surely couldn’t stop three thousand elites of the Three Great Palaces!

“`

“Kill!!!!”

The command from Shen Kun echoed, and instantly all soul pet trainers started chanting spells, summoning their soul pets!

This time it was a surprise attack, and most of the elites chosen were demon beasts from the “Demon Beast World.” After the multicolored summoning arrays flickered, the entire street was almost filled with soul pets bearing green faces and fierce fangs, looking incredibly ferocious!

“Roar Roar Roar Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Howl Howl Howl Howl Howl!!!!!”

The murderous aura was overwhelming, and the wild beasts sprinted furiously, shattering the silence of the night. Terrifying energy almost shattered the street, and buildings on both sides teetered on the brink of collapse before crashing down with a thunderous roar!

For a moment, the sky was filled with dust and the surge of ferocious beasts flooded down the wide and straight street toward the magnificent City Lord Mansion!!

Soon, all the soul pets and their trainers rushed into the spacious area in front of the City Lord Mansion. One after another, the mad beasts roared as they slammed into the high rock walls of the City Lord Mansion, trying to crush it directly!!

“Boom!! Boom!!!!!!!!!”

Wave after wave of skills were unleashed, and the outer wall of the City Lord Mansion easily collapsed.

Seeing how fragile the outer wall’s defenses were, Shen Kun couldn’t help but reveal a smile and loudly shouted the kill order!

However, as he issued the command, in the midst of the dust, Shen Kun suddenly saw that behind the outer wall, there appeared another wall made of plants!!

This plant wall was incredibly thick, composed of countless roots and vines interweaved like a horde of pythons entangled together, their presence formidable!!

The appearance of this plant wall instantly stiffened the smile on Shen Kun’s face. He deliberately glanced at the newly cleared space and suddenly realized something!

Almost at the same time, on the three other sides of that spacious area in front of the City Lord Mansion, the same kind of plant walls appeared and shot up from the ground!!

These four plant walls trapped almost half of the soul pet trainers and their soul pets. Then, from the previously quiet courtyards, a surge of battle cries emerged, and suddenly countless elemental soul pets appeared atop the houses!

Spells were chanted, and colorful elemental skills brutally smashed down on all the soul pet trainers trapped within the plant walls. The blasts erupted terrifyingly within, and instantly blood and meat chunks splattered everywhere, with screams of agony filling the air!!

“We… We’ve been tricked!” Shen Yue’s face turned pale!

Shen Kun stood there, frozen in shock; he had absolutely not anticipated such an ambush inside the City Lord Mansion!

Similarly, Chu Mu, Mu Qingyi, and Ye Qingzi had not expected such a sudden twist, and they had especially used Soul Sense before to scout for any obvious enemy ambushes… there were none.

Clearly, the enemy had set up barriers to block Soul Sense detection and then waited for them to fall into the trap!

Watching countless blood flowers blossom from within the plant walls, Chu Mu’s expression slowly darkened, and his eyes grew a few degrees colder.
