C2120 Forced to Terminate
The thick branches were doing the same thing, crushing the bloodsucking bats trapped in them and scattering them across the snow.
Zi Ning was ready to launch a sneak attack on Mu Chen.
Seeing that these bloodsucking bats were so disappointing, she could not help but curse.
"The blood-sucking bats grow in the Eagle Sorrow Ravine, and I thought that they were very powerful, but it turns out that they are just a bunch of trash."
"Even if I create a few flaws, they can still let me launch a fatal attack on Mu Chen."
"Forget it."
"There are still a lot of fake intelligence. They have to run around in this ice continent and be played around by us."
The battle on the ground ended as quickly as it came.
In the first few minutes, due to the bombardment of the talismans, many of the team members' heads were harvested.
However, when the four city lords acted in person, the situation was immediately reversed.
The foreign warriors didn't want to fight with their lives on the line. When they were unable to push back the target, they focused their firepower on the deep pit that they were digging, and then they fled into the pitch black night.
This style was more like guerrilla warfare, preserving their own lives to the greatest extent.
In the face of the devastated battlefield, the three guild leaders finally felt a little more balanced in their hearts, and they also started to head back to the main city.
All that was left were these officials who were covered in wounds.
The battle was a complete failure.
"We are still too merciful. We should have exterminated all the foreign warriors from the very beginning."
"We should have stopped them outside the city and not provided them with any resources. They wouldn't be able to hold on for long before they retreated. Things wouldn't have been so bad then."
"It's useless to regret it. I think these people should have escaped the range of the main city long ago."
"Hurry up and deal with the wounded. Let's continue digging."
The situation at the scene was not optimistic. The healing pills could only barely suppress the injuries. It was still better to send these people back to the city to be treated in time.
The team members that were able to maintain mobility shouldered the responsibility of escorting them. They carried their companions on their backs and ran as fast as they could, trying to reduce the number of casualties to the minimum.
There were only four city lords and Mu Chen left at the scene.
They stared at each other for a long time, only leaving behind bitter smiles on their faces.
The deep pit had been attacked, and the burning energy crystals inside had also caused a series of explosions.
If they wanted to continue with the construction, they could only jump in themselves and use the swords and sabers in their hands to destroy the layer of frozen soil little by little.
Mu Chen did not plan to be the labourer and took the lead to speak.
"From a depth perspective, there are at least two to three hundred meters before we can touch the outline of the ancient city."
"This matter cannot be rushed, and we still need to rekindle our memories. Everyone should gather even stronger guards and station them here for a long time."
Xin Rujing nodded, agreeing with Mu Chen's opinion.
As the saying goes, sharpening a blade would not delay the chopping of firewood.
With just the five of them, it would take them a long time to dig out all the frozen soil.
After setting up a simple defensive array, they returned to the main city to arrange for new people.
What happened next did not have much to do with Mu Chen, because he did not have any authority here and could not mobilize the troops.
The next morning.
Hundreds of vivid portraits were posted at the positions of the city gates, all of them were the martial cultivators who had launched a sneak attack last night.
Their identities became the accomplices of the escaped criminals, and their bounties were also marked with a high price.
This was just the bluff of the City Lords.
Escaping the jurisdiction was equivalent to hiding among a vast sea of people; how could they be easily found?
The several respected elders who lived in the city lord's mansion were also very concerned about what had happened recently.
They could always hear all kinds of clues about the fugitives, but they didn't see anyone captured by the officials.
How could they let the escaped criminal get away with all kinds of crimes?
The elders also wanted to quickly calm down the storm in the secret treasury of the Guild Alliance.
Originally, this was a private property, but it had attracted the attention of all kinds of heroes in the martial arts world.
It shouldn't be.
"These four main cities are located at the northern edge of the Grand Cold Territory. The fugitives won't be able to survive in this environment for long."
"You need to increase the power of the search."
The four city lords nodded their heads repeatedly.
In the battle last night, the officials had suffered heavy losses.
There was no way to form a search team and go back and forth in the snowy land, so they could only agree verbally.
With a sudden change in topic, the elders started to talk about serious matters.
"The guild alliance is developing very fast. The hired warriors they belong to are carrying out all kinds of missions in more than half of the major cities."
"They are the same as the Divine Might Sect, and they are also the big figures of the Orthodox Dao. They are essential for the safety and order of the Celestial Realm."
"They feel that training in such a harsh environment is a good thing for the improvement of the martial artists' strength. They want to build a training ground here."
"What do you guys think?"
Mu Bai, 129th Heaven, Humbly Gentleman, and Xin Rujing immediately figured out what they were thinking about.
Powerful teams were stationed here to ensure the safety of the secret vault at all times.
The other party's motive was reasonable, so they had no reason to refuse.
Furthermore, the increase in the number of experts stationed in the main city would also have a positive effect on the ranking.
"Welcome friends from the Guild Alliance."
"We will definitely do our best as hosts and support the construction of the training hall."
"Hehehe, as the saying goes, a gentleman loves to take money."0
"The management fees handed over by the guild alliance in the future will definitely be high, but you have to create an environment that is beneficial to the development of the business."
"Elders, please don't worry. We will take full responsibility as if it's our own business."
The four city lords understood the implied meaning of the elders' words.
Privately owned property needed to be protected, and that was part of the work of maintaining security and order.
A sumptuous meal was served, and the room was filled with a peaceful and happy atmosphere.
The Council of Elders couldn't interfere with the specific management affairs, preventing certain members from privately expanding their forces and amassing ill-gotten wealth.
They could only maintain the order of the Heaven's Legacy Race or promote the development of the main cities through rankings or rules.
When Mu Chen woke up from the soft big bed, the sun had already risen high in the sky.
The leader of the bounty hunter organization, Apason, led Hashie and Cang Han to visit.
After last night's critical battle, the foreign martial artists had already disappeared.
The other forces were all paying close attention to the official's attitude, not daring to act rashly.
The northern ice field became a desolate and cold place again.
Apache thought that he could take advantage of this opportunity to let Mu Chen carry a precise instrument to scan the area without anyone interfering.
When he explained the reason for his visit, Swallowing Sky Lion and the other powerful Demonic Beasts also lost their patience and urged Mu Chen to immediately take action.
"Alright, let's set off now."
