* * * Fort Lasberg, in front of the Han family's residence.
Larikson, Hofs, and their subordinates had finally arrived at this place. The Hushveil City divine guards who had been fuming with anger all along the way stopped in front of the Han family's residence. Their faces were filled with worry and vigilance.
From the outside, the Han family's residence was shrouded in strange dark clouds. Thick smoke lingered in the air and it was impossible to tell what dangers lurked within. The Hushveil City divine guards who had suffered heavy casualties from the energy crystal cannons had grown fearful of the Han family. They no longer dared to venture into the city.
After Larikson and Hofs arrived at the House of Han, they immediately gestured for their subordinates to stop after they saw the unusual situation in the House of Han. The two wore gloomy faces and were secretly probing the situation inside the House of Han with their divine souls.
After a long while, the two were astonished. Hofs softly cried out, "Something's wrong. My divine soul seems to be blocked by layers upon layers of thick fog. I can't sense any signs of life. That's impossible. Those fellows must be in there. They must have used some special method to cut off our soul probing! "
Larikson nodded in agreement. "That's right. I can't sense any signs of life either. But I am certain that none of the Han family has left Fort Lasberg. According to my sources, they have been defending Fort Lasberg all this time. Those who have left Fort Lasberg are just some unrelated people. "
Hofs knew that Larikson had communicated with Wallace, the City Lord of the City of Shadows. He bunched his brows when he heard Larikson's words. He sneered and said, "Wallace sure is a petty man. But this is a good thing for me. After we exterminate the Han family, I will spread the news. If Brian is still alive, he will know what role Wallace played. When that time comes, Wallace will be on our side whether he is willing or not! "
"That's right! Wallace has his own plans, and we have ours as well! Hehe, although we are the direct actors in this matter, Wallace will not be able to get away with it! " Larikson had no intention of letting Wallace off the hook. He had long planned how to drag Wallace into this mess.
"I didn't expect this Han family to be so hard to deal with. It seems like we have to be careful!" Said Hofs to Larikson in a grave expression as he stared at the Han family shrouded in thick mist.
"Let's try attacking the fortress from a distance like we did earlier," Larikson suggested.
Hofs nodded and commanded, "Move a distance away from the Han Residence and attack together with them! Hmph, let's see if the Han family can withstand our joint attack! "
The divine guards of Hushveil City did not hesitate after hearing Hofs' command. They shot more light curtains of divine energy at the Han family shrouded in mist. They wanted to probe the situation inside the Han family.
The intertwining light screen fell into the foggy Han family, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, without any signs of life. Hofs and Larikson focused their attention but did not hear any screams from the Han family. Not only that, when the various attacks landed on the Han family, there were no violent explosions.
Something's not right!
Needless to say, everyone knew that the House of Han, who was shrouded in thick fog, would not be easy to deal with. With the precedent of what happened in front of the fortress, they were all like birds that were startled by the mere twang of a bowstring. The first thing they thought about was how to protect their lives.
"Everyone, be careful. You, you, you, and you! The few of you, go inside and see what's going on. They might just be putting on a show, "said Hofs as he pointed out a few more cannon fodder and ordered them to enter the Han family first.
The hearts of the Hushveil City divine guards who were called out sank. They slowly and nervously entered the Han family. As soon as they entered the Han family shrouded in mist, they discovered that their vision was greatly affected. They could not see anything more than ten meters away. When they stepped on the flat ground of the Han family, they felt as though they were riding the clouds. They felt that everything around them had become so unreal.
Larikson and Hofs focused their divine souls and paid close attention to every movement of the cannon fodder. They discovered that after the cannon fodder entered the Han family, they did not encounter the ferocious attacks that they had expected. With that, the two felt a little more at ease. However, they did not dare to let their guard down and continued to sense the movements of the cannon fodder.
Gradually, the few of them went deep into the Han Residence. However, after going around and around, they realized that they had no idea where the exit was. They walked around in the foggy area, but they couldn't find the end. They couldn't see a single building, and they couldn't sense any signs of life …
Larikson and Hofs wore puzzled expressions. They could sense the divine soul auras of the cannon fodder and their general location. However, the two discovered that the cannon fodder were only circling around a small area. No matter how hard they tried, they would not venture deeper.
Hofs felt that it was rather odd and he had been cursing the cannon fodder outside. However, the cannon fodder that he had sent into the Han family did not seem to hear his voice at all. They were still circling around a small area as though they had lost their way. They could not venture deeper nor could they find a way back to report to their superiors.
Hofs gradually grew impatient. He pointed at a few of his subordinates and instructed, "The few of you, go in from the other side. There might be some kind of spatial folding boundary set up inside. Keep an eye out. Don't be as useless as those guys who still can't find a way to get in or out."
"Don't worry, my Lord. I cultivate in the edict of space. If there is a spatial folding boundary set up inside, I should be able to detect it," one of the divine guards assured Hofs before he dived into the boundary.
Another group of soldiers charged into the Han family. They continued to wander around the misty area, trying to venture deeper into the Han family. However, for some unknown reason, as soon as they entered a specific area, they would all be knocked out as though they were drugged. They would wander around in a small area like the first group of soldiers.
Hofs knew that the Han family would not be easy to deal with. He did not send any more of his subordinates deeper into the Han family. He turned to Larikson and asked, "What do you think?"
"There must be some kind of spatial energy inside. Otherwise, there's no way such a thing could happen. However, the person who set up the spatial defensive boundary must have a profound mastery of the energy of space. Your subordinates couldn't detect any clues at all. That's why they were trapped inside, "Larikson explained to Hofs after thinking for a moment.
"What should we do then?" Hofs glanced at the few people around Larikson and said in a deep voice, "I think it's time for you all to show your sincerity, right?"
Hofs and Larikson had come together with Larikson. However, up until now, Larikson and his companions had only sent out Hofs' subordinates from Hushveil City. Larikson and his companions had yet to make a move. It was clearly not a result that Hofs would like to see. In any case, it was time for Larikson and his companions to make a move.
Larikson put on a mischievous smile and nodded, "Alright." He turned to a highgod of lightning behind him and said, "Kinu, go in and have a look. Your energy of lightning can affect space. I believe that if you bombard the barrier with your energy of lightning, you should be able to destroy the spatial energy! "
The highgod named Kinu bowed at Larikson and without saying a word, he turned into a bolt of lightning and flew towards the Han family shrouded in mist. As soon as he moved, thunder rumbled in the sky. Tiny lightning bolts slowly emerged from the dark clouds and gathered above the Han family.
… …
Inside the Han family, on top of a building shrouded in layers of mist, Bollands wore a gloomy face and shouted, "Open the Mirage Window and lure them in!"
"Hehe, that's exactly what we're going to do. That guy cultivates the power of lightning. Let's give him a way out of this embarrassing situation. Retract the fog for now and leave this matter to me! "Gilbert shouted excitedly as he dashed down while waving his arms and legs.
Other than Han Shuo, Bollands, Sanguinar, and Gilbert were the most familiar with the demonic formations in Fort Lasberg. Before Han Shuo left, he had explained the power of the demonic formations and how to activate them in detail. As all three of them had cultivated in demonic arts, they knew very well how powerful demonic formations could be. Under Han Shuo's guidance, they knew the situation inside out.
Sanguinar, Gilbert, and Bollands got to work. They temporarily concealed a portion of the demonic formations and activated another portion of the demonic formations that were used to create illusions.
"Everyone, after a while, the fog will disperse, and the Window of Illusion will be able to clearly show our appearances to the people outside. When that time comes, everyone has to pretend to be scared. It's best if you can add some movements that suggest that you're ready to escape, "Sanguinar instructed Phoebe and the others.
"Don't worry, we know what to do." Emily smiled, indicating that she understood Sanguinar's words.
… …
Kinu entered the depths of the mist and summoned the energy of lightning above his head. Bolts of lightning shot down from the void and bombarded every corner of the Han family.
As though some strange mechanism had been triggered, the thick mist that shrouded the Han family suddenly dispersed. Even the ominous dark clouds that were hovering above their heads started to sway. It gave the illusion that the clouds would dissipate at any moment.
As though the mist had parted to reveal a rainbow, the Han family that had been blurry all along started to reveal the buildings inside to the outsiders. The members of the Han family wore terrified expressions. Helplessness and despair were written all over their faces. They were at a loss of what to do as they stared blankly at the scene outside. Many of them were fleeing in panic.
The realistic scene had fooled everyone. Hofs had been waiting for this moment. He thought that the Han family's barriers had been destroyed by the highgod's attack.
Hofs licked his lips cruelly and howled, "Charge in! Kill them all!"
