Infiltration Plan Succeeds

"Hey bro, look! There's another one over there! (Unlucky Guy Number Two)"

Hearing the shouts of those around him, another cult member (Unlucky Guy Number Three) who was evacuating looked in the direction the other person was pointing.

"Isn't this age too old?"

"Being older is good, you have more strength and can do more work!" (Unlucky Guy Number Two)

After staring at the figure not far away for a few seconds, Unlucky Guy Number Three shook his head.

"Let's forget about it!"

"Dude, you're not scared, are you? (Unlucky Guy Number Two)"

Given his usual temperament, Unlucky Guy Number Three should have roared and shown his fearlessness through his actions. However, looking into the other person's sinister eyes, Unlucky Guy Number Three felt a strange unease. Coupled with the notification he had just received and the direction the other person had appeared in, he really didn't want to provoke this strange boy.

"Okay! I admit it, I'm scared. Can we leave now?"

Seeing that Unlucky Guy Number Three had backed down, Unlucky Guy Number Two pointed his index finger at him. (At this moment, Unlucky Guy Number Two still had a hint of mockery on his face.)

"Heh! It's just a little kid, why are you so scared?"

With that, Unlucky Guy Number Two walked toward the figure in front of him.

Seeing his teammates walk away, Unlucky Guy Number Three withdrew his hand that was about to stop them and stood at a distance, quietly watching how things unfolded.

"Kid, you'd better come with me, or you'll regret it!"

Seeing that another kind person had come to play with him, the silver-haired boy smiled and then obediently put his hands together.

"Hehe! What a good child!"

As he spoke, Unlucky Guy Number Two reached out to grab the other man. Just then, out of nowhere, a dim yellow ball of light appeared in front of the other man's fists, followed by a yellow rock spear thrusting towards his chest.

"Call out!"

Faced with the sudden attack, the Unlucky Guy Number Two turned into a wooden statue, standing there dumbfounded and motionless.

"Careful!"

"Call out!"

Hearing the sound behind him, Unlucky Guy Number Two regained a sliver of his senses, and guided by his survival instincts, he lunged towards the ground.

"Sizzle!"

The yellow rock gun grazed along the spine of Unlucky Guy Number Two, giving him a free half-parted look at the back of his head and his clothes.

"Bang!"

Not far past Unlucky Guy Number Two, the Yellow Rock Spear collided with Unlucky Guy Number Three's attack, but the latter was obliterated in less than two seconds.

Looking at the yellow rock spears that continued to fly towards him, Unlucky Guy Number Three instantly understood the reason for his unease.

"Old Six, he's the expert the two gentlemen were talking about! Run!"

After shouting, the Unlucky Guy Number Three, having fulfilled his duty as a friend, ran off into the distance without looking back.

After mentally cursing his own despicable character and 'luck,' Unlucky Guy Number Two prepared to escape, but as soon as he got up and before he could take a step, he felt something on the back of his foot.

"Bang!"

Just as he lowered his head, a head with silver hair appeared above him, and then the two heads collided.

"Ouch! (Unlucky Guy Number Two)"

Does it hurt a lot?

"It hurts! Of course it hurts!"

After answering, Unlucky Guy Number Two immediately realized something was wrong, so he looked down again to confirm the identity of the creature on the back of his foot.

When the image in his pupils became clear, Unlucky Guy Number Two suddenly felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and his back felt cold.

As a seasoned villain, Unlucky Guy Number Two knew how to survive, so he didn't hesitate to use his trump card.

"Brother, I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and let me go!"

Looking at the Unlucky Guy Number Two kneeling and begging for mercy, the silver-haired boy smiled and nodded.

"Alright! Then I'll let you off the hook!"

Upon hearing this, Unlucky Guy Number Two's face instantly turned into a chrysanthemum, but that chrysanthemum only bloomed for two seconds before being frozen. The reason... well, of course, is that someone really did release a horse!

"Hissing sound"

A horse neighed, and then a naturally formed rock-like steed charged toward the Unlucky Guy Number Two.

"Bang!"

"Oh~~"

After waving goodbye to the Unlucky Guy Number Two who was riding away on horseback, Old Suo glanced at the Unlucky Guy Number Three who was galloping away, and then disappeared into thin air.

"Damn it! I told you to leave, but you wouldn't. Now look what happened! Not only did you get yourself into trouble, but you also screwed me over!"

"I thought you guys had a really strong bond, but it turns out it's just a fake brotherhood."

"Plastic? What's that?"

"Um?"

Even that Unlucky Guy Number Two knew what happened after he finished speaking, so how could the smart guy Unlucky Guy Number Three not guess?

However, unlike Unlucky Guy Number Two, Unlucky Guy Number Three did not kneel down and beg for mercy. Instead, he stopped and assumed a fighting stance.

"Slap slap"

"The response is pretty good!"

Upon seeing the other party appear, Unlucky Guy Number Three did not hesitate and immediately mobilized all the magic power in his body to unleash his strongest attack.

"Call out"

"Ham!" (Sound of chewing)

"Ham!"

"Since you treated me well, I'll let you run for ten seconds first!"

Ten seconds later, Old Suo opened his mouth and unleashed a Roar of the Sky Dragon at the back of Unlucky Guy Number Three.

"Call out!"

"Bang!"

The Unlucky Guy Number Three, after being hit in the heart, scraped a deep groove in the ground before disappearing without a trace.

"Done!"

"Oh no!"

After exclaiming in surprise, Old Suo hurriedly ran towards the spot he had just been... oops! He vanished in a flash.

"Brother, where are you?"

"Waaaaah... waaaah..."

The Black-haired girl was crying when a wooden crate on one side stood up. The next second, a Red-haired girl rushed out, dragged the Black-haired girl under the crate, and ran towards the other end of the street.

"Hmph! You brat, trying to run away?"

"Let go of that girl!"

"Heh heh! You little brat, you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep!"

"Let go of me!"

"Bang bang"

"Slap slap"

After a brief silence following a series of punches and kicks, Yin Xiao's voice rang out again.

"Hmph! You little brat, you dare to lay a hand on me? You're asking for trouble!"

Not long after the words were spoken, footsteps sounded and were approaching the wooden box where the Black-haired girl was hiding.

Hearing the commotion outside, the Black-haired girl tightly covered her mouth, afraid of making a sound that would attract the other party's attention.

"Thump!"

Just as the atmosphere inside the wooden box was about to freeze, a crashing sound suddenly came from above.

"Huh? There are still people here?"

Hearing the sinister voice getting closer and closer, the Black-haired girl was terrified, and in her heart, she cursed the ancestors of the guy above her.

"You want to arrest me?"

"Heh! Kid, you're quite humorous!"

"That's what I think too, so... the Fire Dragon's Roar!"

"Call out"

"A mage?"

"Boom!"

"Hehe! You run pretty fast!"

After the sound from above subsided, the surroundings returned to calm, but the Black-haired girl did not immediately come out to check the situation; instead, she chose to continue waiting.

A moment later, footsteps and shouts rang out again on the street.

"One team stays to rescue the civilians, the second team puts out the fire, and the rest of you follow me to hunt down the bandits!"

"Yes!"

After peering through the crack at the street and confirming that it was indeed the kingdom's army outside, the Black-haired girl mustered her courage and climbed out of the wooden box.

Looking at the large pit not far away, the Black-haired girl instantly recalled what had happened not long ago.

"Fire dragon? Mage?"

After muttering to herself, the Black-haired girl scanned her surroundings, but there was nothing there except for ruins.

"Although I don't know who you are, I will definitely find you and repay you!"

After making a vow to herself, the Black-haired girl rushed out of the alley and ran towards her home.

High above

"Herder, how's it going? (Old Suo)"

"Senior Brother August has already blended in with Junior Sister, and the two girls you instructed to keep an eye on have also successfully escaped danger."

Upon hearing Herder's answer, Old Suo nodded and said, "Very good!"

"By the way, where is Athena?"

As soon as Old Suo finished speaking, the space in front of him trembled, and the next second, the Space Warrior Princess appeared on the wind boat.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Once Athena straightened up, Old Suo immediately asked, "How is Tingmei?"

"Tingmei has captured several hostages and has already determined the exact location of their stronghold!"

"Notify Tingmei to hand over the hostages to the Royal Army, and then immediately return to the Empire to keep a close watch on these cultists."

"Yes!"

After saying this, Athena disappeared from the wind-borne boat.

"Herder, go to the border first, meet up with Tingmei and the others, and then return to the Empire together."

"Yes, teacher!"

He glanced back at the direction of Kaelum, then Old Suo piloted his windship toward Magnolia.

A rare mid-air crash occurred over Magnolia due to driver fatigue while flying at high altitude.

As the bluish-white windboat capsized, a seasoned driver hurtled straight down towards the building below with a piercing whoosh.

"Call out"

"Huh? What's that? (Passerby A)"

"It looks like a person!" (Passerby B)

"It's not just a resemblance, it's a real person! (Passerby C)"

"Holy crap! Falling from that height, you'd be smashed to pieces!" (Passerby B)

"Smashed into a meat patty? I think it's more like smeared into a meat skewer!" (Passerby Ding)

Why? (Passersby A, B, and C)

Faced with the three people's questions, Passerby Ding did not speak, but instead raised his right hand and pointed ahead.

"Oh! I see!" (Passersby A, B, and C)

As soon as the three finished speaking, a sound of a building collapsing came from ahead, followed by a violent tremor of the ground.

Looking at the scene ahead, passersby A, B, C, D... (many numbers omitted here) were all dumbfounded, because a building that could be considered a landmark of Magnolia had been destroyed.
