Chapter 28 - Chapter 26: Thanks to Baiyi

Kami approached expressionlessly and shared the same suspicion after hearing the soldier's words.

This situation seemed like two invisible forces were clashing; one trying to infiltrate their ranks, the other preventing it.

Dongwu City is becoming... more and more complicated.

"Legion Commander, there's a teleportation array below, but it's one-way. It seems to have been installed a long time ago, and we've found the original residents, who know nothing about the basement."

A soldier approached quickly, holding some broken materials, raising them above his head: "Do you need to interrogate that resident?"

Kami looked at Mosen and spoke calmly, "There's no need. Right now, no one is more dangerous than the Scarlet Sect. We'll let them fight in the shadows. If the God's power descends, Dongwu City might be wiped out."

Mosen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the war intent began to gather anew.

He turned and walked toward the front of the army. The Demon Lion quickly charged, and he leaped onto it, waving his hand casually, "Advance quickly. We need to clear the East City District before two o'clock."

"Yes, we'll handle it ourselves!" Magat responded, grabbing a walkie-talkie to start giving orders.

The fifty thousand troops, initially waiting for orders, suddenly started moving and accelerated their pace. Now, even if they were clearing their relatives, it was inevitably a bit rough, though curses were less frequent.

Dongwu City had laws, issued by the City Lord's Mansion, and the first few statutes made it clear.

No person or unit could defy military orders, under penalty of execution on the spot.

So, while cursing diminished, some killings were unavoidable.

Garrett and Magat exchanged a glance, one holding an axe, the other a sword, and they charged out without hesitation, targeting the Rich District shops.

The entire East City District had only those places still lit up and lively.

"Tsk? Out of money?"

The smile on Baiyi's face disappeared a little as he looked at the red-eyed beastman in front of him and asked.

Those people not only hadn't stopped investigating their legion's anomalies but had also accelerated in their march, which was indeed unexpected.

The Black Night Rose's power in Dongwu City was stronger than he imagined, with at least thirty of their fifteen hundred members infiltrating.

That's a frightening number. From Sabo sending the message to now, it's only been a total of three hours.

This level of infiltration proved that there were at least over two hundred Black Night Rose personnel in Dongwu City.

Furthermore, the Berserker who tried to recruit him earlier had a Black Night Invitation, indicating that the Black Night Rose also had a Gold presence....

The ideal scenario was the Scarlet Sect at full battle strength, colliding from all sides, which would be the most beneficial for him.

For instance, it would allow safer infiltration into the Scarlet Sect and expose the Black Night Rose's danger to the sunlight, enhancing the value of some intelligence he held.

So, more time was needed.

Bang!

An angry table smack interrupted Baiyi's thoughts. The beastman gambler stood up with blood-red eyes, pointing at Baiyi and shouting, "You're cheating! How else could you keep following and winning?"

Baiyi helplessly spread his hands, "Do you have any evidence?"

The beastman's eyes turned even redder. He was breathing heavily, staring at Baiyi, looking on the verge of attacking. If he had evidence, he would have already flipped the table.

At this moment, some noise outside the door attracted Baiyi's attention. The inside of his sunglasses shifted scenery, and he shook the half-sack of Copper Coins he had just won in his hand.

"Don't make excuses if you're not skilled, go buy yourselves some late-night snacks."

As he said this, a hint of extraordinary fluctuation appeared in Baiyi's hand, and instantly, with a rustling noise, Copper Coins scattered everywhere. A dozen gamblers, already seeing red, stood stunned.

Even the beastman rushed to the gambling table, frantically grabbing money, hundreds of Copper Coins.

In Baiyi's eyes, it couldn't even purchase scrap materials, but in the eyes of the commoners, it was several months' wages.

A city wall divided two worlds.

Baiyi stood up and walked out. As he left, he took out a Bronze-level Invisibility Potion and drank it.

Baiyi thought for a moment and headed to the second floor.

A fat man holding a Barrett, full of rage, stormed downstairs, his face brimming with irritations from being interrupted, the bright red lipstick mark on his face indicating what he had been doing just now.

Baiyi went up to the second floor, leaned on the wooden railing, and waited quietly. He remembered this fat man, who was in the casino business, profitably so.

Although his Barrett was a restricted item, he bought five with extra money, making him a decent-sized customer.

Unexpectedly, this guy was also from the Scarlet Sect.

It seemed the Scarlet Sect had hidden quite a bit of strength.

"Who are you? Don't you know where this is? Making trouble in my place, do you want to die?" Chi Feng held the Barrett, pointing it at Magat's head, shouting impatiently.

Magat grinned, his Great Sword flashing slightly, a thick killing intent faintly visible.

Not everyone had Baiyi's influence. Pointing a gun at a Tianqi Legion warrior's head could indeed lead to death.

"I'm a warrior of the Apocalypse Legion, and the evacuation is the Legion Commander's order. Are you sure you want to disobey?" Magat asked, suppressing his emotions coldly.

Chi Feng's hand trembled, the gun barrel instinctively shifted a little, and he shouted loudly with a feigned bravado, "Permit! I need a permit with the City Lord's Mansion seal, or else you're illegal, and my losses will be your responsibility."

Saying this, his face showed grievance, pointing to the lipstick mark on his face, gritting his teeth and muttering softly, "Damn it, if you're coming, just come, why make such a big noise? Scared me soft, if anything happens to my brothers, I'll sue you until you're bankrupt!"

Magat grinned, the beastman's four sharp teeth showing, reached behind to grip his sword hilt, and said softly, "Are you betting your gun is faster than my sword?"

Chi Feng trembled again, his face visibly showing some simulated toughness, shouting loudly, "Someone, there's a tough guy here!"

Instantly, on the fifth floor of the casino, four Barretts aimed at Magat.

Bronze-level thugs appeared on the fifth floor, glaring viciously at Magat below.

"Damn..." Magat's smile slowly faded as he cursed under his breath. Baiyi's Energy Gun indeed improved the Dawn Federation's low-level combat power.

But it also allowed lower-level threats to reach the mid-level forces, leaving him displeased.

He glanced up with dissatisfaction before turning and walking into the snow and wind.

Chi Feng's expression relaxed slightly; stalling now was all he could do.

The four people upstairs exchanged looks, caressing their Barretts with some reluctance; a bronze-level ability dared not be so audacious before, but now it had forced a Silver to retreat.

We can only say thank Baiyi!

But Baiyi on the second floor didn't seem too friendly, as he seemed to realize that he couldn't find more Black Night Rose members in the images from his sunglasses!

The Black Night Rose members appeared to have put away their arrogance.
