At such a crucial moment, it went without saying how useful a person who had an accurate understanding of the entire situation would be. Thus, when everyone discovered that Han Shuo was explaining the situation of the various districts of Ossen City with great familiarity, they were momentarily stunned by Han Shuo's calm and natural performance.
"Brian, how can you know the situation of the various districts of Ossen City when you're here? After the appearance of those five traitors, many of the Dark Mantle's networks were destroyed. The five of them know the distribution of some of the Dark Mantle's main networks. Even the Dark Mantle can't easily grasp the situation of Ossen City. Could it be that you can? "Sabakas stared blankly at Han Shuo, asking in astonishment after a while.
Nodding his head, Han Shuo calmly admitted, "I can!"
When these words were said, everyone's expression was both surprised and delighted. However, the delight was clearly more than astonishment.
If what Han Shuo said was true, then Han Shuo alone could accomplish the intelligence gathering and monitoring that the various Dark Mantle networks were originally responsible for. In the current incomparably chaotic Ossen City, if Han Shuo could really understand the situation of every corner of Ossen City, everyone would be able to make the correct judgment and seize the opportunity to reverse the current unfavorable situation.
When the three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle, including the two sacred rank characters, heard Han Shuo say the two words "I can" so confidently, their expressions became lifeless for a moment. They even forgot about the numerous experts surrounding them.
While the few of them were indescribably shocked, Han Shuo seemed to think that they weren't shocked enough and continued to add, "Not only the situation of the four districts of Ossen City, but even the conversation between Ashburn and Charles, as well as the implementation and details of every step they took, I can see all of it without missing a single detail.
As long as I'm willing, I can clearly see any place in Ossen City, other than those areas with layers of barriers, as long as I'm given some time, I'll know what they're doing and saying. What I said is true. For example, right now, Ashburn and Charles have gathered together to discuss how to take down the northern district. Oh, they said that Count Boris has an officer called Bishop who's one of their men … "
"Eh, what's wrong?" When Han Shuo was halfway through his speech, he suddenly noticed that everyone around him was staring at him in a daze. He couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Are, are you a god?" Dark grand magus Crowley, who had lost to Han Shuo last time, stared blankly for a moment before speaking out the thoughts of everyone with a respectful tone.
Are you a god? The three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle, Lawrence, the two sacred rank archmages, and even Bollands, Emily, Phoebe, and the others suddenly realized that the words they wanted to say had been spoken in advance by this fellow.
To be able to see every region of a city clearly without missing out any information he wanted to know, such an existence, other than a "God", even a "Demigod" powerhouse could not do it. Could this guy in front of him be a "Hidden God" who had fallen to the mortal world?
Carrying this kind of doubt, everyone's gazes converged on Han Shuo's body, anxiously waiting for Han Shuo's explanation.
Han Shuo naturally wasn't an idiot. His short moment of doubt was swept away by Crowley's' Are you a god '. He immediately understood what the twelve mystical demons that were everywhere signified to the people of this world!
"No, this is a special effect that comes with the martial technique that I practice. It's nothing special. Oh, that's right, Bollands, I will impart this martial technique to you after some time. At that time, you will understand what's going on! "Han Shuo hastily explained.
When the sluggish Bollands heard Han Shuo's words, he was so happy that he almost fainted. Fortunately, Bollands hadn't lived in vain for so many years. He hastily stabilized his chaotic emotions and said with a trembling voice, "Thank you senior brother, thank you senior brother!"
Everyone's envious and jealous gazes instantly focused on the excited Bollands. Even sacred swordmaster Karel, whose heart was as calm as water, felt a little envious of Bollands. He thought that Bollands's eyes were really sharp, to actually find such a mystical senior brother.
"I also want to learn!" Phoebe's bright eyes fixated on Han Shuo's body as she said straightforwardly.
Han Shuo was slightly startled. He shot a glance at Phoebe, coughed dryly, and pretended to be serious as he said, "The sect's secret technique cannot be passed on to outsiders, not even to my wife!"
However, in his heart, Han Shuo thought, Since you have a request for me, then I must properly grab hold of it. I can't easily agree, I must at least let you know your place.
"Phoebe, don't mess around!" sacred swordmaster Karel frowned as he berated Phoebe.
Phoebe was most afraid of this teacher of hers. She resentfully glared at Han Shuo after hearing his words, and inwardly thought that when they were alone, no matter if she pestered him relentlessly or attacked him tenderly, she must definitely dig out this martial technique from him.
"I know Bishop. I didn't expect him to be a traitor. We must immediately head to the northern part of the city and stabilize the situation there." Lawrence's heart was burning with impatience. He planned to first head to the northern part of the city where Boris was. Up until now, only the northern city guard was still under their control.
"You guys leave first, I'll seal off Mt. Ordas!" One of the three heavyweights, Candide, hesitated for a moment before saying to everyone with a gloomy expression that never changed even after ten thousand years.
Space sacred magus Sabakas hesitated for a moment after hearing Candide's words, then nodded and said, "Alright, it's good to seal off Mt. Ordas for the time being. At least after the northern part of the city falls, we can still temporarily hide in Mt. Ordas, or leave Ossen City through the magic array on Mt. Ordas. Oh, fortunately, the authority of the Dark Mantle has always been in the hands of the three of you. Otherwise, if those fellows were to find out more of the Dark Mantle's secrets, I'm afraid we would really be in big trouble this time. "
From the conversation between Candide and Sabakas, Han Shuo understood that the Dark Mantle was still hiding many secrets. Han Shuo had never heard of sealing off the mountain. However, it seemed that the entire Mt. Ordas could be sealed off. The two of them said that the Dark Mantle headquarters could still be the last stronghold once the mountain was sealed off. This meant that the safety of Mt. Ordas after being sealed off should not be a problem.
"Candide, I'll leave this place to you for the time being. This is our badge." Amyes held the badge that represented his identity and solemnly handed it over to Candide.
"Be careful!" The other member of the three heavyweights, Cecilia, similarly handed over the badge that represented her identity to Candide with a solemn expression.
"If Mt. Ordas is to be sealed off, it can only be activated with the identity badges of the three leaders. Once Mt. Ordas is sealed off, all the entrances and exits and the common magic array will be sealed. Apart from the few of us, anyone who doesn't know the method can forget about freely entering and leaving Mt. Ordas." Amyes explained to Han Shuo, Lawrence, and the others.
Even Han Shuo didn't know about this secret. When Han Shuo looked at Emily, he discovered that Emily also had a puzzled expression on her face. After carefully observing the surroundings, Han Shuo discovered that there were quite a few Dark Mantle higher-ups here. However, the ones who truly knew about this secret were probably only the three heavyweights and the four elders.
From the looks of it, as the largest and most terrifying organization in the Empire, the secrets hidden by the Dark Mantle shouldn't be as little as what everyone had seen. Sealing off the entire Mt. Ordas was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
After Amyes finished explaining, everyone made a prompt decision. Taking advantage of the fact that Mt. Ordas had yet to be sealed off in Candide's hands, they used the existing transportation array here to directly reach the Dark Mantle's branch stronghold in the northern city district.
The northern city district was similarly attacked. Han Shuo's mansion was here. However, compared to the other districts, the northern city district was still considered safe. Those who attacked Han Shuo's mansion, regardless of whether they ultimately achieved their objective, had all left the northern city district before the knights of the northern city army arrived.
Arriving at Boris' castle in the northern city district, the powers that were inclined towards Lawrence gathered together. As Han Shuo could clearly see the distribution of Ashburn's forces and knew the details of their next steps, Han Shuo had become the most important person.
Under Han Shuo's description, the distribution of Ashburn's and the eldest prince's forces, the secret movements of the various nobles, the current situation within the imperial palace, and the movements of the other two princes were all discovered by everyone.
Within the extremely chaotic Ossen City, Lawrence's side had someone like Han Shuo who could see through the entire situation. The benefits to Lawrence's side were quickly manifested.
Under Han Shuo's guidance, the twelve traitors within the northern city guard, led by Bishop, were all executed over the next two days. Some of the nobles who had luckily escaped and rebelled against Ashburn were escorted into the castle by sacred magus Sabakas. Two attacks against Ashburn and the others from the northern city guard were ambushed by a trap that had been set up beforehand. The leaders were killed on the spot.
With Han Shuo's existence, Lawrence, old Hahn, and the other military strategists were adept at using the power in their hands. Under the circumstances of not using their own side, they firmly defended the northern city district. Furthermore, they slowly accumulated the power in their hands, forming the only power in Ossen City that could threaten Ashburn and Charles.
However, Ashburn, Charles, and the others' advantage was too great. Currently, four-fifths of Ossen City was under their control. The power in their hands was also four times that of Lawrence and the others. The temporary victory of the northern city guard didn't seem to be enough to reverse the overall situation.
On the third day when everyone was anxiously pondering on how to resolve this problem, Han Shuo suddenly discovered through the mystical demons that there was an iron-blooded army of fifty thousand stationed at the northern city gate of Ossen City.
It was also on the same night that a skinny middle-aged man grabbed Fanny and scolded Han Shuo the entire way. He barged into the northern city district's castle and brought new trouble to Han Shuo!
