Chapter 474: Chapter 317: Today, the Legend of Duo Lai (5.6K) _2
Inside the brocade bag given by the Lord, there were no ingenious strategies related to the meeting either.
She turned it over and over and couldn't find anything, so, of course, she was even less willing to go. She never liked it in the first place, as communicating with strangers is so much harder than shooting down a group of fourth-order bosses.
As a result, Seventeen stayed indoors, not showing her face even during the war.
It wasn't necessary for her to show up, was it? All she had to do was pull the string of the Whisper Bow and activate the Ten Thousand Arrows Treasure, and her shooting range would cover several kilometers. She just needed to find a suitable sniping spot, and she could carry the entire field.
However, the Tianyuan small squad couldn't be completely unconnected to Shiling City.
Strategic arrangements, tactical planning, distribution of spoils of war, and so on, someone needed to negotiate and communicate with Shiling City. Vampire Count Gibby, the second-in-command, thus made his dazzling entry.
Perhaps because he came from a family of vampire nobles, Gibby was as comfortable and familiar at the gathering site as if he were at home.
Seventeen doesn't want to go? He'll go.
He wished there were gatherings every day.
Nowadays, he represented both General Seventeen and his Lord; wherever he went, he was a guest of honor. How could he not like it?
"OK, I'll continue to represent us from Tianyuan."
Gibby declared that he would defend the honor and interests of Tianyuan.
He is a vampire, after all!
Soon, Gibby returned to the attic and knocked on the door.
"Boss Seventeen, guess who's come to visit."
Seventeen wondered, isn't it that no matter who comes to visit, they should be turned away?
During these times, Master Cui Long was too busy to come over, and it didn't matter which other Lord might find this place, Seventeen had only one response, "Not in."
She was cultivating.
She was just about to say she wasn't there when she heard a familiar voice outside the door.
Bang!
"Sophia? Lian Yue?"
The wooden door banged open, splitting the frame in half, teetering on the brink of collapse.
Seventeen's hand, which was pushing open the wooden door, froze in place.
...
"You weren't able to get in touch with the Lord either?"
Seventeen couldn't hide her disappointment.
Lian Yue crouched on the table, her big tail swishing back and forth.
Sophia consoled, "Don't worry about Black Crow, I'm sure the Boss and the others are fine."
They had rushed over from the interior.
When the two worlds merged, they were pulled into a certain place in Eternal World along with Baijiang City. At first, they assisted the Baijiang officials in resisting and killing several waves of monster waves.
Soon, reinforcements arrived. Heeding the Lord's instructions, once the residents of Baijiang City had been safely relocated and there were no other areas in immediate need of support, they set off for Pan Shi City.
Only after arriving at Pan Shi City did they learn of major changes in the location of Shiling Town, and the iron train heading to Shiling Town had been disrupted long before.
Even Pan Shi City was unclear about the exact location of Shiling Town, only able to lock down a rough range.
There were no safe routes to Shiling Town either.
Of course, this didn't pose a problem for the two fourth-order epic strong like Sophia and Lian Yue. Sophia spent a day and a half gathering detailed information in Pan Shi City before leading Lian Yue and a group of elities who had stayed in Baijiang City across the wilderness.
She had even learned that Pan Shi City would soon be assembling a joint army to march towards the Territory of Stone Ridge Town, forging a safe trade route, but how could she possibly wait that long.
So they started to traverse the wilderness.
Without clear coordinates, lacking landmarks and route maps, their journey was not smooth sailing. Sometimes they would get lost or encounter powerful monsters lurking about.
Some exceedingly powerful fourth-order peak monsters, whom Sophia chose to avoid temporarily — Lian Yue, on the other hand, wanted to fight, but was dragged away by the tail by her.
With Sophia's powerful Black Crow radar ability, the group bumped and thumped their way to the 'New Stony Hill City Area'
Sophia said, "When we entered Shiling City, I found out that reinforcements from the Pioneer Group would arrive soon, by tomorrow. Once they do, Shiling City will officially sound the counter-offensive, and we need to use this opportunity to pry information about the surrounding regions from the mouths of the monster leaders, to see if there are any clues to our territory."
"Before that, you can level up first, these are the level-up fragments we found on the way here."
Sophia took out two fragments that glimmered with an unusual brilliance.
She had become quite the expert at finding these fragments.
Now, she is Sophia - late four stage.
Seventeen's mouth was agape.
Sophia continued, "In the counter-offensive tomorrow or the day after, we need to capture the tribal leaders alive. Then see if there is any expert in Shiling City who is good at interrogation and soul searching, if not, we also have a few Elite who have just entered the third-order in our team. Next, we have to..."
After listening, Seventeen kept nodding: "Uh-huh."
Sophia: "If we can't, then we should..."
Seventeen: "Uh-huh, right."
Sophia: "Maybe, we can also..."
Seventeen: "Uh-huh, uh-huh."
Sophia: "..." She looked over at Lian Yue who was using her tail as a broom sweeping the table, and wanted to facepalm.
Perhaps, she didn't need to discuss any battle plans with these two at all.
But she had no one else to discuss with.
Help, Black Crow!
...
At the same time,
"Pfft—"
Rakshasa thrust out his spear, the long spear like a celestial dragon, directly shredding an aggressive monster before him.
After the battle, he looked around.
Azure Sky Giant Trees towered like majestic buildings, blocking the sunlight. Standing here, it felt like being surrounded by high mountains with no clear view in any direction, also not knowing precisely where one was.
