Scaling the Wall

Yuye took the opportunity to break free from his arm.

Weiaoyasi was subdued without resistance in the blink of an eye.

He was completely helpless.

He was just a prisoner Dou Qi had been sealed and who had been starving for many days, yet they had sent out High Rank combatants to deal with him.

Are orcs really that free now?!

****

Yuye coughed several times before she could catch her breath.

There was a shocking ring of marks around his neck.

"I... I'm fine," Yuye said.

Yise's gaze softened slightly.

Yuye could still speak normally. Given Weiaoyasi's strength in breaking the ropes, he had clearly shown considerable mercy.

She scolded the Hebana: "You're utterly useless!"

"Luckily, my brother was worried and sent me to check."

Yise gave himself a reason for being here.

Still furious, she kicked the Hebana out of the carriage and drove off with the driver.

Then, Yise grabbed Weiaoyasi by the collar.

"You better behave, or else—"

She narrowed her eyes and said in Common, "I'll tell you why flowers are red!"

Weiaoyasi's body trembled.

This is a phrase that a certain humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex would most often use when reprimanding him.

So these people are--

Weiaoyasi's eyes showed disbelief.

"You..." Yise gestured for silence.

Nearby, on a rooftop not far apart, Su Ming and Lang Yefu were lying on their backs between the tiles.

Below the two men, several guards who had been secretly following them were scrambling to their feet.

The horses these people were riding had suddenly spooked, throwing them to the ground.

After finally calming the horse down, they followed, only to find everything calm and peaceful, with Weiaoyasi showing no sign of fleeing.

The group had no choice but to return to the labor camp in frustration.

It seems I won't be making that second sum of money.

"That Niu Jiaode really knows no bounds," Su Ming remarked.

"That's the atmosphere here," Lang Yefu said.

Unlike lucrative positions like logistics, low-paying jobs require you to rack your brains and use every trick in the book to make money.

Su Ming opened his wrist screen and checked. The surrounding area was quiet as usual, with no further incidents.

"Let's call it a day," he said.

Raccoon Dog Dream Theater.

Yise paid the fare and sent the Hebana and the driver away.

After the theater doors were closed again, she reached out and lifted Yuye's chin to examine the purplish finger marks.

She felt quite sorry for him.

"We're here to rescue you, can't you see?" Yise complained.

"... This is a bit difficult," Weiaoyasi said truthfully.

You're not as cunning as your sister.

"There aren't many people in all of Taya more cunning than her."

A soft sound came from the roof.

Su Ming and Lang Yefu jumped down from above and landed on the ground. Yise gave some ointment to Yuye and told her to apply it herself. Then, together with Lang Yefu, they began to treat Weiaoyasi's injuries.

After all, Weiaoyasi's condition was far more serious.

Jinxiu slipped from Su Ming's forehead and leaned closer.

She flew around Weiaoyasi's slave mark twice, then reached out her small hand and pressed it against it. Tiny runes unfolded from her palm, glowing with a ring of light.

"Hmm, it's easier to deal with than the one on you," Jinxiu said to Lang Yefu.

"Just remove the actual effects; leave the surface mark," Su Ming instructed. "Don't let anyone notice anything amiss."

Okay!

Su Ming took out his phone and exchanged a few words with the support team behind him.

Weiaoyasi peered around and looked.

Where's my sister?

"Your sister didn't come to Water Chestnut Island," Su Ming replied.

"Do you want to speak to Weiaoyasi?" he messaged Zijin.

Zijin looked at the chaotic scene in the theater through the camera and sighed softly.

"There's no rush. Let's wait until his injuries are treated."

"OK."

Weiaoyasi, seeing the alchemical tools he had never seen before in Su Ming's hands, was filled with doubt.

It was also determined that he was the one in charge here.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Su Ming put down his phone, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"I'm your brother-in-law!"

****

A few days later, at the Cloud Fang City Garrison.

The investigation into the Black Claw Gang's destruction of the warning totem has been completed. The Black Claw Gang was the culprit, and no further clues were found. Furthermore, the person responsible was "perfectly" silenced by the Night Howl Gang.

The city guard captain reported the details to the bell-ringing priest Dalisuolei, who was in charge.

"Hubiang is that capable?" Dalisuolei saw through the problem at a glance.

"I also suspect he has someone backing him," the city guard officer replied.

Dalisuolei sighed.

The fact that Hubiang died so conveniently suggests that a higher-ranking orc official must have been involved, even without further investigation.

In order to maintain its rule over Ling Island, the Plundering Clock could not do everything personally and could only make extensive use of the existing orc noble class.

But these people were all secretly plotting to gain personal benefits.

"Let's hand it over to the Security Department for investigation," Dalisuolei decided.

"Yes," the city guard replied.

He breathed a sigh of relief at being able to hand over this thankless task.

But Dalisuolei knew in his heart that this was just a pretense. In reality, the matter was simply left unattended. During this period, the frequency and intensity of the attacks by the Taya Allied Forces on the front lines increased, clearly using their own coastal defense forces for real-world training.

If handled improperly, it's hard to say whether the enemy might suddenly launch a full-scale attack, tearing a huge hole in the orcs' defenses.

Meanwhile, the underground project has reached a critical stage, and there's also an annoying fat airplane in the sky that comes to check in at irregular intervals every day.

The tasks are numerous and complicated, it's incredibly frustrating!

Orcs are just expendable and disposable pawns; their job is to hold out until the Plane Gate opens.

"Then just throw all this waste away!" Dalisuolei thought to himself.

"You need to manage the city's defenses well," he instructed. "I doubt the people behind the scenes can cause any trouble."

"Rest assured, sir," the city guard officer declared loudly, "Our defense zone is impregnable; not even a mosquito can get through!"

****

Inside the city wall, four large "mosquitoes" are looking up at the top, carrying bulging backpacks.

The wall top has been restored to its former order, and patrolling guards, carrying long halberds at an angle, stroll lazily past the brazier.

Su Ming and his group were originally planned to be three people, but Weiaoyasi insisted on coming. In his words, if he could even mess up the matter of choosing a target for revenge, he would be a complete waste if he didn't contribute anything in the rest of the process.

"Weiaoyasi is a good swimmer," Zijin chimed in, "I personally taught him."

Weiaoyasi looked terrible.

"You used a bone dragon to carry me underwater, is that teaching?!"

"That's to increase your resistance to drowning," Zijin said matter-of-factly.

Su Ming remained silent.

However, given that Weiaoyasi grew up under the dual care of Atiya and Zijin, his resistance is truly extraordinary.

Yise took out the Wolf Fang Key and, following Professor Lang Yefu's instructions, infused it with Magic Power, successfully connecting it to the tampered totems.

She quickly disabled its ability to detect humans.

Weiaoyasi took a deep breath and deliberately stepped forward into the range of the warning totem.

If anything goes wrong, he'll have to take the blame and cover for the existence of the other three humans so they won't be exposed.

"Your brother is truly capable when it comes to matters," Su Ming said to Zijin. "You can order him around as you please," Zijin replied generously.

****

Five minutes passed, Weiaoyasi did not trigger any alarms. His previous act of switching the goods had successfully achieved its purpose.

Several people carried supplies and easily scaled the city wall.

Without the warning totem to alert them, the guards on duty would have no chance of spotting them.

The four landed on the other side and quickly disappeared into the night.

"Weiaoyasi, are you alright?" Su Ming asked.

Although he has been receiving treatment, only a few days have passed since he was rescued, and Weiaoyasi's injuries are still far from healed.

"If a fight breaks out, there will be a problem," Weiaoyasi admitted.

"But this kind of outing is nothing."

"If you can't hold on, just say so," Su Ming said.

"Okay, brother-in-law," Zijin quickly corrected.

"We're not at that stage yet, so don't make any rash statements!"

"Sister, the fact that you didn't scold me means it's come to this," Weiaoyasi bluntly stated.

Zijin paused, then fell silent.

****

Behind them, Chloe was very surprised.

"Hey, you've given up so easily?" She nudged Zijin with her elbow.

"I've done a whole bunch of things because I'm jealous of him, what more do you want?" Zijin said irritably.

Chloe, however, brought up old grievances.

"Didn't you say before that you hadn't thought about marriage or anything like that?"

Zijin rubbed her face.

"Stop talking." "After discussing it with Su Ming that day, the question of what kind of dress I should wear to the wedding kept popping into my head."

She sighed.

How did I become like this?

Upon hearing this, Chloe immediately burst into laughter.

"You bastard... you've finally met your match..."

Zijin glanced at her sideways.

"Laughing at me? What about you and Xialike?"

Chloe's laughter stopped abruptly, and her eyes darted away.

"Our situations are completely different, okay?"

"So when will you hold your wedding ceremony?" Zijin pressed.

"..."

About five kilometers Cloud Fang City, near the road, a horse-drawn carriage was parked.

Seven or eight orcs were resting around the campfire, most of them asleep, while two were on night watch.

Yuye lay in the carriage, breathing softly.

Suddenly, the neck ring vibrated, and she immediately woke up.

Yuye opened the carriage door, jumped down, and found that the two orcs on night watch had already fallen asleep.

Su Ming and his group walked out from the darkness beside the road. Ximina, holding a flute, cast Sleep Spell on the others as well.

"Mr. Graves, Miss Yuumi!" Yuye.

This carriage was brought out of the city by Yuye during the day.

Yuye is a half-cat person and can pass through normally. The goods in the carriage are just various materials and some food, so it's impossible for them to detect anything wrong.

As for the orcs accompanying them, they were all employees of the Raccoon Dog Dream Theater.

Su Ming offered each person an overtime wage of thirty copper coins to escort a carriage out of the city and hand it over to his "family's" caravan.

Naturally, people flock to it.
