For Li Shuyi's Hero Trial, the preparation of the most important items was almost complete. Next, according to Bai Xiaowen's plan, she needed to work hard to practice her long-range shooting specialty.
The Hero Trial was Li Shuyi's battle alone. Without Bai Xiaowen to check and fill in the gaps, she had to become more comprehensive.
The summer vacation was about to end. September was an important month for teams to apply for the League Two qualification. The first match of the league would begin in October. Bai Xiaowen thought of Han Xu, whom he had not contacted for a long time. It was time to contact him and do some team training.
As usual, Bai Xiaowen checked the lord's interface of the White Stone Hill's fief order and prepared to transfer the day's supplies to the Super Gods for safekeeping. Saber Dazhong's shop had helped Bai Xiaowen earn more than 500,000 yuan in turnover in a season. Although a certain amount of transfer fees had to be deducted, the profit was still amazing. This stable source of income could not be slacked.
When Bai Xiaowen opened the warehouse interface, his eyes suddenly focused.
In the warehouse, the usual rye bread, snacks, and standard equipment were all gone. There were only piles of old ironware! Bai Xiaowen examined them. These old ironware were all damaged weapons, broken arrows, and so on. Some of them were even stained with blood and had no value.
"Something happened in the White Stone Hill."
Bai Xiaowen took a breath and said in a deep voice.
"Ah?"
Qiao Rui, Li Shuyi, Xiaojun, and the others who were chatting in low voices all looked up in surprise.
"According to the secret signal I agreed with Cecilia, if there is an abnormality in the warehouse transfer of supplies, it means that there is a problem in the White Stone Hill that she can't solve." Bai Xiaowen's expression was somewhat solemn. "I have to rush over."
"I'll go with you." Li Shuyi stood up and said, "If Cecilia can't solve the problem, it must be very troublesome. After all, I can help a little."
"I'll go too," Qiao Rui said.
"Okay." Bai Xiaowen nodded in agreement. Since there was trouble, there was no reason not to take two strong teammates with him.
"Brother, are you leaving again? Is it very serious? "Xiaojun asked.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and stroked Xiaojun's hair. "White Stone Hill is the economic foundation of our team. We can't afford any mistakes. Don't worry, it'll be a short trip this time. I'll be back in about a week. "
It had been six or seven months since the last time they returned from Whitestone Hill. Whitestone Hill's fief order only allowed them to stay for one day every month. Now that Bai Xiaowen had arrived at the Cain Dimension, even if the problem could not be solved, they would still have to return at the stipulated time.
"There's no time to lose. Let's go now," Qiao Rui said.
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and dialed Han Xu's number. At the same time, he said to Qiao Rui, "In addition to the three fixed members of our team, we also have a temporary member. I plan to bring Han Xu … Well, he's the MT of the League team. This time, the exploration of the Spiritual Realm is different from the usual missions. One more person means one more strength. It's also an opportunity for Han Xu to improve his strength. "
After the call was connected, Bai Xiaowen quickly confirmed that Han Xu was at Jinghai University. After a brief explanation of the situation, Han Xu did not hesitate to agree to the temporary team invitation. This was indeed an opportunity that many Awakened could not ask for.
Han Xu drove to the Crimson Fire District. The three of them made a little preparation. After explaining the situation to Li Beihai, they brought along the two white eagles, Yi One and Er Er, and went downstairs to meet up with Han Xu.
Four people and two birds stood in front of the Super Gods Building in the Crimson Fire Square. After Bai Xiaowen confirmed the status of each team member, he used the Whitestone Hill's fief order. In a flash of white light, he rushed to the Cain Dimension again!
…
Cain Dimension, Northern Whitestone City.
Unlike the peace and tranquility last time, Whitestone City was now filled with shouts and screams. Teams of black-armored soldiers were attacking the city. Arrows rained down from the city walls, and soldiers died every second.
"Hold on! Don't let the Ironthorn bastards reach the top of the city wall! His Lordship will be here soon! " A silver-armored knight shouted sternly. He waved his two-handed sword and killed two black-armored soldiers who rushed to the top of the city wall.
"Captain Tim! There's a problem at the west city wall. A few very powerful guys rushed over. Even Captain Phil was injured! "A Whitestone City soldier said, panting.
"Damn it …" Knight Tim snorted angrily. "You guys guard this place! I'll be back soon! "His blood-stained cloak fluttered as he turned and ran to the west.
However, before Tim arrived, he heard a loud noise and the earth rumbled and shook.
As smoke and dust filled the air, a large part of the west city gate collapsed. Amidst the creaking sounds, a five-meter-tall steel war puppet was leisurely smashing the city wall with its heavy steel fists.
"The city wall … is falling …" Tim felt a chill run down his spine.
"The enemy has rushed into the city! Captain Tim, what should we do?! "
Tim shuddered. Cecilia's instructions appeared in his mind again.
"Hold on, fight the enemy in the streets! We can't let down His Lordship and the Governor's trust in us! "
Tim raised his two-handed sword and shouted, "Charge! For Whitestone City! "
The Whitestone City soldiers responded with shouts and rushed to meet the enemy without any regard for their own safety.
Below the city wall.
A handsome young man dressed in martial attire and riding a white horse looked at the west city wall that had already been breached and smiled proudly.
"Harold, tell those mercenaries that they can kill, but they must not deliberately destroy the important buildings in this city, especially the research institute. This is the property of the Ironthorn family. "
Beside the young man in martial attire, the old butler Harold smiled and said, "Young Master Stantine, please rest assured. When we signed the contract, I already explained this point. I have to say that those mercenaries are quite capable. They took the lead in breaching the city gate, so the commission was worth it. "
Baron Stantine snorted coldly. "If it weren't for the family's elites being used to trap that woman Cecilia, why would I need to find these bumpkin mercenaries? A bunch of vulgar fellows. "
Harold could only change the topic. "Young Master, you don't have to pay attention to them. As long as we take Whitestone City and obtain the formula for the plague's nemesis, the Ironthorn family will become the only master of the north. Your position in the family will also be more stable. You will be the future king of the north. "
These words made Baron Stantine burst with joy. He pretended to be reserved and said, "Now is not the time to celebrate. Order the soldiers to charge and kill all who resist! "
… …
Plop.
Tim spat out a mouthful of blood and his body fell heavily to the ground. His HP had already dropped to the bottom.
A burly man with a double-edged axe carried the axe and walked forward with a relaxed expression. He laughed loudly. "This city's defense is too weak. It doesn't even have a leader. What's the use of relying on a group of elite knights?"
Behind the double-edged axe man, a thin cloaked man said with dissatisfaction, "This city's defense is still very strong. If it weren't for my war puppets breaking the gate, would you be so relaxed? Talic. "
A slender curly haired woman next to him said, "Don't complain, Eugene. Hurry up and release your puppets again. Completely destroy the enemy's morale."
Puppeteer Eugene shook his head. "No. Every time my puppets are activated, they consume psionic points. Maintaining them also requires psionic points. In order to break this damn gate, I've already spent over 3,000 psionic points! Who will bear my losses? We're about to win anyway. If we win now or later, we'll just lose some soldiers of the Ironthorn family. It has nothing to do with us Awakened ones. "
The double-edged axe man Talic arrived in front of Captain Tim. "I want this elite's head." He swung his axe down.
Tim rolled on the ground and dodged the axe. He was already heavily injured. Seeing the soldiers of Whitestone City being killed one after another, despair welled up in his heart.
"These mercenaries without any morals are actually so powerful … … I'm sorry, Lady Cecilia. I'll have to disappoint you."
Talic's axe missed and said with dissatisfaction. "What are you still holding on for? You're ridiculous. Hurry up and die. "He stepped forward again.
Suddenly, a white light flashed. Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh. Four figures appeared on the battlefield.
"Who is it?" In this small battlefield, the attacking Ironthorn soldiers were stunned. They had never seen such a way of appearing. It was as if a living person had appeared out of thin air.
"Awakened ones? How come there isn't even an initial entry point? "The double-edged axe man Talic, the puppeteer Eugene and the curly haired woman Judith were all puzzled. Without knowing whether the newcomers were friend or foe, the three of them chose to observe for the time being.
The four members of the White Phoenix team had just seen the outside world when they heard the battle cries.
"Looks like we're in big trouble. We've actually been invaded by foreign enemies." Li Shuyi narrowed his eyes and said.
Bai Xiaowen's insight was stronger. He looked around and understood the general situation.
"Looking at the emblem on the enemy's armor, it should be the emblem of the Ironthorn family of Blackrock City. As for the three people standing in front of us … they probably came from the same place as us. "Bai Xiaowen's mouth showed a sneer.
Qiao Rui glanced at the three people opposite him. "They're all elite professions. Do you want to communicate with them? "
"We don't have time. Just do it. You dare to come to my territory without knowing the situation. You'll have to pay a price. "Bai Xiaowen said lightly.
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean by your territory —"
The three of them just opened their mouths and wanted to ask for clarification. Bai Xiaowen had already made his move! He made a pressing motion with one hand, and a powerful spiritual deterrence burst forth. All the enemies within the range of Bai Xiaowen's spiritual power felt a mountain-like pressure, and they all knelt on the ground one after another.
The Haoshoku Haki was terrifying …
Li Shuyi and Han Xu rushed out at the same time. It was a combination of Brutal Charge + Aid. The two rushed to the front of the three hunters almost at the same time.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Li Shuyi directly activated Demonic Fire Dance. His two swords emitted flames as he stabbed at the axe-man. The axe-man's spiritual power was less than 30% of Bai Xiaowen's. He was currently in a stunned state and could not fight back.
Vital Attack! Vital Attack! Critical Attack! Vital Attack!
Li Shuyi slashed four times and the axe-man's HP fell to the bottom. He quickly used the dispelling item and rolled over to avoid the additional attack. He shouted with lingering fear.
"What kind of monster is this? One slash can actually deal three damage! It also reduced my armor! "
Not far away, Qiao Rui blew the Soul Bamboo Flute. A Scale of Destruction turned into a sound wave arrow and shot at the axe-man as a finishing blow.
Talic the axe-man was scared out of his wits. He stuffed blood food into his mouth and shouted, "Eugene, save me!"
Eugene the Puppeteer cursed and had to use the dispelling item to remove the fear state. His heart ached as he summoned his puppet and blocked in front of Talic. He relied on the puppet's massive body to take the sound wave arrow head-on.
"Fortunately, the damage isn't very high. It only dealt a little more than 100 points to the War Puppet." Eugene heaved a sigh of relief.
Qiao Rui kept blowing the flute as a second sound wave arrow shot out.
"It's actually a basic spell? It can deal 100 + damage? " Eugene's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "That woman's spiritual power must be super high … A hero class!"
The three looked at each other and quickly reached a consensus.
Run!
However, before they could take two steps, a group of skeleton swordsmen led by a huge zombie monster in strange clothes blocked their path.
"So many summoned creatures … Another hero class!" the curly-haired Judith cried out in despair. They could still escape if there was one hero class, but two … They did not even have the right to escape.
"We surrender! We demand the loser's terms! "
The three were very tactful.
"Each of you has to pay at least 10000 psionic points. If it's not enough, use items as collateral!" Bai Xiaowen glanced at the three who were almost kneeling and begging for mercy. He snorted and said, "Time limit: 30 seconds. No more waiting."
"It's so expensive. I'm only level 6. I should only take 6000 points …"
The curly-haired Judith still wanted to argue, but Bai Xiaowen waved his hand to stop her. "20 seconds left."
The three elites were devastated. They could only painfully hand over their psionic points and sign the loser's terms. They raced against time to escape from the battlefield and quickly return. If they violated the terms, the price would be even greater.
Captain Tim looked at this scene in a daze. The three seemingly powerful mercenaries did not even have the courage to fight. They were intimidated by the Lord.
Hope reignited in Tim's heart. He shouted, "My Lord!"
"Yes. After dealing with the awakened who stirred up the situation, it's time to understand the situation … Tim, what happened? Where is Cecilia? " Bai Xiaowen walked over and took out a bandage to bandage Tim's wound. Then, he fed him a bottle of Advanced Health Potion.
Tim gasped in pain. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's all because of the despicable Ironthorn Family!"
Tim regained some of his mobility and followed Bai Xiaowen up the city wall. When Bai Xiaowen overlooked the battlefield and looked for the enemy's general, he told Bai Xiaowen the whole story.
