Shi Haishan City, East Inner City.
On the street leading to the forest in the east, a building suddenly shook. Rings of invisible shockwaves erupted from it, instantly engulfing the street within a radius of a thousand meters.
Figures flew up and fought each other. The intensity of the battle made one's scalp go numb.
The attacks of these experts that suddenly appeared were incomparably swift and fierce. Every time they made a move, they fought with their lives on the line.
In an instant, figures fell to the ground and crashed into the street, turning into corpses.
Boom …
The sound of an explosion rang out. The building broke in the middle, and half of it crashed down. Smoke and dust flew everywhere, accompanied by shrill screams.
"What's going on …"
"Where did these people come from? Why are they so powerful?"
…
In midair, Rita saw this scene and opened her mouth in shock. She did not understand what was going on.
Then, she noticed that the skills used by these powerhouses were very similar. Her first thought was that this could be internal strife?!
"Director Rita, there's an internal strife among the unknown forces. Is this a good opportunity?!"
From the communicator, the captain of the city defense team's voice rang out. There was a hint of excitement in his tone.
Rita immediately reacted. This group of unknown powerhouses had come at the right time. As long as she captured them, even if the Explosion Butcher and the rest escaped, she would be able to answer to her superiors.
As for how to answer, as long as these unknown powerhouses were dead, she would be the one to make up the story …
Rita immediately issued an order. She said fiercely, "Capture all these brutes who invaded the eastern street. If they resist, kill them on the spot!"
Boom, boom, boom …
Airships changed directions one after another, and security hover cars whizzed over, heading toward the group of unknown powerhouses who were fighting.
Seeing this, Hayashi River was a little speechless. He did not expect such a huge commotion. This was not caused by the bullet that contained mental energy that he had specially made.
The mental energy contained in the bullet was imbued with the secret technique of the Blood Spirit Ritual. Once it hit, there would be a strong mental suggestion.
This kind of mental suggestion could only affect a Realm Six powerhouse at most, and it did not last long.
Hayashi River's original plan was to instigate an internal conflict within the mysterious team and attract the attention of the city guards and city guards.
However, he didn't expect that once this group of people started fighting, it would get out of hand. This was beyond Hayashi River's expectations.
Of course, this situation was undoubtedly better than what Hayashi River had expected.
"It's about time. Let's retreat according to the original route …" Hayashi River said.
Bayern, on the other hand, was not satisfied. The blood in his body was slightly boiling, and he really wanted to continue contending with his pursuers. It would be even better if he could exchange blows with the captain-level experts of the city guards.
"Don't mess around here. It'll be troublesome if things get out of hand …"
"Didn't Mr Bayoun say that there are still a few old undying experts in Shihaishan City?"
Hayashi River glanced at them and said.
Bayun's body trembled. Not daring to stay any longer, he immediately steered the hover car and sped off in the direction of his original escape route.
"How strong are the old fellows in charge of Shihaishan City?"
Old Aidan and Hai Wuya looked over. As old fellows, they were very curious. When they were young, they had heard that there were old undying experts in the major cities of the Northern Lands.
However, no one had ever mentioned just how powerful these so-called experts were.
However, according to Old Aidan and Hai Wuya's conjecture, those who were qualified to be in charge of a city like Shihaishan City were at least at the advanced stage of the seventh realm.
Bayun was silent for a moment, and then told them a shocking secret. He had heard the elders in his clan mention that there was a high possibility that there were unparalleled experts of the eighth realm guarding Shihaishan City.
Eighth realm!?
It couldn't be …
Everyone in the car was speechless. They found it hard to believe, and felt that this news was a little fake.
It was no wonder that they did not believe it. From various sources, the number of known realm eight experts in the entire Sea-Ao Empire could be counted on one hand, and it was unknown whether they were still alive.
In the Northern Lands, Shihaishan City was an important city, but it was a little ridiculous to have a realm eight expert guarding it.
According to the news, there were only two known realm eight experts in the Northern Lands. One was in the Northern Kingdom, and the other was in the Centaur Corps' encampment.
"That's what the elders said. Actually, I don't really believe it either …" Bayun shrugged and laughed.
Whoosh … The large hover car flew past the east gate of the inner city, and headed for the forest area in the east.
At the same time.
In the eastern district of the inner city, the building had been completely destroyed. Balls of fire exploded, and people screamed as they rushed out.
Faced with the encirclement of the guards and city guards, this group of unknown experts had been fighting among themselves a second ago, and the next second, they had joined forces and launched a fierce attack on the armed forces in the city.
In a short period of time, this district was half destroyed, but there were not many casualties. After all, the people of the Northern Lands were tough, and every district had an underground defense room. Not long after the battle broke out, the people here had already taken refuge in it.
If that kind of escape speed was recorded, it would immediately go viral in the entire Empire. It would become the most positive and well-trained escape video teaching material.
In the flames of the explosion, the cracked ground showed many signs of corrosion, and gas wafted out from time to time. The guards and city guards nearby fell to the ground, twitching and foaming at the mouth.
"These bombs are poisoned?!"
"These damned brutes!"
…
The faces of the guards and city guards contorted as they angrily raised their weapons and charged at the unknown experts.
In the airship, Rita's beautiful face darkened as she watched the battle. She did not expect this group of unknown experts to have such combat power despite being heavily surrounded.
This was a gathering of one-third of the armed forces in the city!
The guards of the Northern Lands were established in the Northern Lands, and their level of elite was far higher than the guards of other parts of the Empire.
To a certain extent, they were comparable to the Empire's special forces, not to mention the strength of the city guards. Rita could not accept that such a strong team had suffered such heavy losses.
"Listen to my orders. Don't care if they're alive. Kill these brutes with everything you have!"
Rita was so angry that her body was trembling. She was about to go crazy. This kind of loss was ten times greater than she had expected.
In an instant, the guards who were chasing after Hayashi River turned around and headed for the eastern part of the inner city to provide support.
Explosions, gunshots, and whistling sounds were endless, but there was not much chaos in the city. The people in the nearby streets even went to high ground to watch the battle from afar. Many were even recording videos.
…
Sitting in the hover car, Hayashi River and the rest monitored the battle situation on the eastern side of the inner city through the holographic screen. They were shocked by the strength of the guards, city guards, and the mysterious troops.
"These guys are so strong!"
Fowler touched the fake beard at the corner of his mouth and could not help but exclaim. This was much stronger than the armed forces of the Forka Tower.
Old Aidan and Hawuya nodded as if it was only natural. The two had stayed here for a long time, and they often carried out mercenary missions. They had a deep understanding of the strength of the Northern people.
"The troops of the Northern Lands are so strong!"
Hayashi River nodded in agreement. He thought that it was no wonder that group of people from the Grand Star Ao County were so afraid of the Northern Lands for so many years.
In such a place with such strong customs, how could the people who sat in that position sit still …
"This mysterious troop doesn't look like an ordinary armed force. Which organization in the Northern Lands do they belong to?"
Hayashi River's plan this time was to solve Madam Butterfly's problem, and to find out more about the background of this mysterious troop.
They were related to the fire goblin village in the Samhae Mountain Arcane Realm, and they had been chasing after Ramila. Hayashi River was quite confident that he could find out the inside story of the explosion of the experimental base from this group of people.
…
Late at night.
The eastern part of the inner city was filled with smoke. One by one, the hover cars left and returned to the guard building.
In the Shihai Mountain City Prison, in the interrogation rooms, the captured brutes were being interrogated. Rita even personally went into the interrogation, torturing these unknown brutes to the point where they were on the verge of death.
"Haven't they been able to open their mouths yet?"
In the office of the chief of the guards, the three captains and vice-captains of the city guard team were all seated. They were very dissatisfied with the interrogation work of the guards.
If these criminals were brought to the city guard team, they would definitely be able to open their mouths in less than ten minutes. The interrogation room of the city guard team was the most terrifying place in the Northern Lands for these murderers.
The office door opened, and Rita walked in with a face full of exhaustion. Looking at the faces of the three captains, she knew very well what they were thinking.
"Don't think about bringing these unknown brutes back …" Rita pinched the space between her eyebrows to ease the exhaustion of the night.
"Why? Chief Rita, have you already gotten a result? "The captain of the city guard team said indifferently with a straight face.
Yes, a result?!
They wanted a result. Otherwise, who would bear the responsibility for such a huge loss to the city guard team?
"Of course, I have a result. I'm just afraid that the three captains don't want to hear it …"
Rita stared at the three of them and walked to the desk. She did not continue speaking, instead, she used her finger to write four words on the desk and then erased it.
The eyes of the three captains of the city guard team suddenly widened. Their expressions changed as if they had seen a ghost.
"This is what you got from the interrogation?" The face of the chief of the city guard team twitched. He kept shuffling his feet, wanting to leave the place as soon as possible.
Rita shook her head and smiled bitterly. "I found some clues from their habits. I've interacted with their members before …"
Hearing this, the faces of the three captains of the city guard team turned even uglier. They did not like to interact with a woman like Rita.
However, they had to admit that the reason this woman was able to sit in the position of the chief of the guards was because she was smart and capable.
If Rita said so, then the possibility was not too far off …
"This is going to be troublesome!"
The faces of the three captains of the city guard team turned even uglier. They had captured the members of the city guard team, yet they had suffered such a huge loss. How were they going to resolve this storm tonight?
At this moment, a knock on the door shocked the three captain-level experts. Rita got into a stance and was on full alert.
There was no other reason than that the knock did not come from outside. Instead, it was a figure in a white cloak standing in the office, knocking on the door.
"The three captains of the city guard team and Chief Rita, my master sends his regards to the four of you …"
As the figure in the white cloak spoke, he flipped his palm. There was an exquisite coat of arms in the middle of his palm. On it was the image of a green teacup.
Seeing this coat of arms, the four people present turned pale. Rita's two plump legs trembled uncontrollably. She did not expect the owner of the green coat of arms to send a subordinate to handle this matter.
At the same time.
On the light screen, Hayashi River was also monitoring the situation in the office. He turned to look at Bayern and asked, "Do you recognize the origin of this green teacup coat of arms?"
Bayern shook his head. Instead, it was Old Aidan and Hai Wuya's expressions that changed. The two old fellows showed rare expressions of reverence.
"Speaking of which, we do recognize this coat of arms …"
"Looks like it's not fake that Shihaishan City has a level-eight powerhouse …"
