Initially, Qin Sheng and the other Knight thought today was just a small incident. It was nothing more than a few unknown forces eradicating their dissidents and destroying the other party's intelligence base.
Right now, everyone was in the stage of observing each other. I look to see how many people you have, and you look to see how many people I have. In any case, they were just hiding in the dark, and no one wanted to make the first move.
Therefore, Qin Sheng and the others were also trying to figure out the situation. Everyone felt it was not the time to make a move yet.
The appearance of supernatural beings was a very unexpected occurrence. Furthermore, the moment they appeared, it would be a battle of life and death.
Sometimes, when supernatural beings met, it would be very difficult for them to kill each other.
For example, in the Wang Clan's stronghold, the Pyro Company wanted to kill the old man who was playing with sugar paintings. In the end, the other party's Amber Golden Dragon guarded him tightly and did not give the Pyro Company a chance.
Meanwhile, when the Anjing House's Vanilla tried to kill a member of the Pyro Company, the other party managed to escape with his powerful physique.
Everyone had their own shortcomings. So when supernatural beings met each other, they would usually just exchange a few blows before retreating.
But it was different today. A supernatural being had crushed another person in a short period of time. This undoubtedly told all the supernatural beings in Luoyang City that there was a formidable opponent among them.
When Ren Xiaosu was ambushed, he was also caught off guard. Under such circumstances, he could only choose to stop hiding and activate his armor.
Of course, a lot of people knew about the existence of armor, but they might not know it was Ren Xiaosu who was wearing it.
Other than Fortress 178, Wang Fugui, and Yang Xiaojin, the only people alive who had seen his armor were the residents of Stronghold 146. However, the residents of Stronghold 146 did not know who he was. Fortress 178's troops had also ordered them to keep it a secret. Therefore, the outside world only knew another person wearing armor had destroyed a stronghold, but no one knew who it was.
This time, many more Luoyang City residents witnessed this scene. When the Knight and Luoyang City's troops arrived at the scene, someone was gesticulating and saying, "Are y 'all chasing after two people? Those two people ran away in panic, and when they got to the hooded young man, he tripped over one of them while eating a roasted sweet potato."
Qin Sheng and Old Li looked at each other. What the hell was eating a roasted sweet potato? Meanwhile, Zhang Qingxi remained silent at the side.
The passerby continued, "Just as that young man was about to stop the other person, someone in the alley behind him suddenly attacked him. Somehow, a ball of fire appeared out of thin air and enveloped the young man. But the young man was suddenly covered in armor, and he was completely unharmed in the fire."
What followed was the story of how the steel beast brutally killed the acrobat. Even if the passerby did not know what a supernatural being was, they could tell that the young man in the steel armor was much stronger than the other supernatural being.
It was a tyrannical and completely one-sided battle. Just by looking at it, they could feel their adrenaline pumping. They wished they could also become the protagonist of this battle.
"Steel armor." Zhang Qingxi muttered, "Is it the one from the Northwest?"
Actually, even Ren Xiaosu himself did not know that after the battle at Stronghold 146, he had already become as famous as Li Shentan. In the eyes of many people, he was even a supernatural being on par with Li Shentan.
After all, there were really not many supernatural beings who could take on an entire stronghold single-handedly.
Regardless of whether they knew the specific details, the iconic "steel armor" had already been registered with most of the forces. Everyone knew that Fortress 178 had such a powerful supernatural being.
But just as Zhang Qingxi finished speaking, he saw Lee Young-yoon give him a look. The three Knight Knight walked to the side. Zhang Qingxi asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?"
"Brother Qingxi, there's indeed someone from Fortress 178 in Luoyang City right now." Qin Sheng explained, "And he's the only one."
"You mean Ren Xiaosu?" Zhang Qingxi was stunned. "Didn't you two say he doesn't look like he's very good at fighting?"
"Ahem, it's a misunderstanding." Old Li said, "Didn't we talk about it in another meeting after that? That kid went into Stronghold 61 alone, so he might have been the one who killed the creeper vine."
"If that's the case, if he's really the person in the steel armor, then he might really be the one who killed the creeper vine." Zhang Qingxi muttered, "Why didn't y 'all say so earlier?"
Zhang Qingxi had made it clear at the meeting that if the descendant of the Knight Knight's founder was too weak, he, Zhang Qingxi, could give him a lifetime of glory and wealth, but he would never swear allegiance to him.
But from the looks of it, if the person they were looking for was really Ren Xiaosu, then Zhang Qingxi might not even be a match for Ren Xiaosu.
After all, Zhang Qingxi was not confident he could take on a stronghold.
"Are y 'all sure he's here to help?" Zhang Qingxi asked.
"I think so." Qin Sheng explained, "When the two forces were fighting, he even specifically called me to ask if I needed any help. I told him it wasn't necessary, so he should have been nearby at the time. When he bumped into those two people who were trying to escape, he immediately made his move."
"That's great news." Zhang Qingxi sighed and said, "Wu Dingyuan, Wen Meng, and the others still haven't returned yet. Something must have happened on the way here. It looks like we'll have to cancel the Qinghe University students' tours from now on. It's really not safe to go to someone else's territory now."
Every year, the Knight would send someone to bring the more outstanding students of Qinghe University on a tour. The Knight that Ren Xiaosu met at the black market back then was Wu Dingyuan.
The scope of the tour was very wide, and it was mainly to broaden the students' horizons so that they would not stay cooped up in the stronghold.
In the end, the enemy took advantage of this moment to attack. At this moment, there were only seven Knight members in Luoyang City, so their overall strength was slightly weaker.
This was also the reason why Qin Sheng and the others were so decisive in their attacks. At this time, they had to intimidate the troublemakers and stall for time.
The arrival of Ren Xiaosu and the powerful abilities Ren Xiaosu displayed undoubtedly made everyone feel a little more at ease.
"We'll definitely owe them a favor, after all. However, we can't just rely on outsiders." Old Li said with a smile, "Besides, our Knight isn't bad either!"
Zhang Qingxi looked at the large stronghold city. The night was still glorious and prosperous, but he wondered if this prosperity would remain after this chaotic battle.
News of the armored vehicles appearing in Luoyang City had already spread by word of mouth among the residents.
However, the people from the other forces did not know the truth like the Knight did. They were only speculating. Could Fortress 178 also be interested in the satellites in the hands of the Qinghe Group?
That was also possible. After all, Fortress 178 did not have the ability to launch satellites either.
But how many people from Fortress 178 had come?
For a moment, the situation seemed to have gotten even more chaotic. Everyone was surprised because they never thought Fortress 178 would get involved in this matter.
Even the commanders of Fortress 178 were thinking the same thing.
