Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Chapter 379: Chapter 170: Assassin, Dark Weapon Mastery_2

”Second Child, are there any other enemies behind those four people, or to the south or west?”

Yi Tian asked Second Child. Trouble was piling up one after another, leaving Yi Tian perplexed.

At this moment, the mist refused entry to any living creature.

For the enemy to enter the mist, there must be a High Priest or the like, activating an altar.

”Daddy, no! I don’t hear any heartbeats at all.”

The enemy can hide, but they can’t fake their heartbeat.

”Ignore the ones to the north for now. They can’t land anytime soon. Focus on responding to the sneak attack from the Great Fei Kingdom first.”

”Second Child, keep an eye on the surroundings at all times. The moment you notice anything unusual, tell Daddy right away,” Yi Tian instructed.

”Daddy, more are coming! Eight Red Race warriors are approaching from the east. They’re very powerful, and it seems they’re all S-level.”

Just as Yi Tian finished speaking, Second Child suddenly exclaimed.

Thirty kilometers east of the mist, at the edge of the forest, eight S-level Red Race warriors had just entered Little Kiddo’s sight.

Originally, Second Child’s Thousand-Mile Eye could only see ten kilometers beyond the mist. Once her Spiritual Power reached a thousand, her Spirit greatly improved, and now her Thousand-Mile Eye could just see thirty kilometers outside the mist.

”They shouldn’t be able to enter the mist, right?”

Yi Tian frowned, then suddenly relaxed, hitting the nail on the head.

Though his Territory Points had increased, his own power hadn’t really improved; only one more Thunder Yuan had joined the territory’s strong combat force.

Yi Tian could accept a single S-level warrior showing up, but for eight to come at once was too much.

Yi Tian guessed that these eight Diamond Warriors were support sent by the Red Race.

These Red Race infiltrators aimed to kill him.

When the Lord dies, the mist fades.

The Red Race S-level warriors would then seize the chance to enter.

Their main target might well be the Earth Bear.

Moments later, Yi Tian’s guess was confirmed.

The eight S-level Red Race warriors just stood outside the territory in the mist, never entering.

This finally put Yi Tian at ease.

...

Territory, east shore.

With a splash, the sound of water.

”Chief, Earth Bear’s nose is sharp—do they already know we’re here?” No one was visible, but a voice sounded out of thin air.

”According to ancient records, Earth Bear’s nose is keen, able to distinguish anything by smell. That’s why we’re attacking at two in the morning. The State Preceptor says, when the Earth Bear is deep asleep, it can’t tell one scent from another.” Another voice replied.

The Great Fei Kingdom had studied the habits of the Earth Bear, but didn’t realize just how different the two bears’ personalities were.

Big Bear was smart, alert, and quick to react.

Thanks to training, he had led Second Bear out of danger many times.

Both Earth Bears were born on the same day with identical talents and potential, but Big Bear was significantly stronger than Second Bear.

”Reports from ransomed captives say the Lord lives in the very center of the Inner City, in a villa. Once we’re inside, head straight for the Inner City. Kill the Lord first, then our main force moves in to seize the Lord’s beasts. All other resources are ours for the taking.” The Red Race Assassin Commander laid out the plan of attack.

To guarantee the plan’s success, all 250 Red Race assassins carried Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that could temporarily restore their strength.

With the resources of a nation, obtaining a few A-level treasures that cure all ailments came easily.

The Plague Body, once inside the blood-colored mist, would remain unstained.

Being fellow plague-bearers, in the same Spiritual Qi environment, the power gap between Lord and Indigenous People was evened out.

”Understood!”

The assassins of the Red Race responded in low voices.

The group crept stealthily to the East City Gate.

The gigantic city was deserted above, nighttime especially tranquil!

”Sources say, at night the Lord never posts patrols on the city walls. Still, aren’t there supposed to be Iron Armor Mechanisms? Why don’t I see any?”

The Red Race Assassin Commander glanced at the empty wall and spoke in a low tone.

”Commander, those Iron Armor Mechanisms may have been moved elsewhere. The Lord has lots of Elemental Warriors, but nobody ever heard of him sending them out on night patrols.” another voice replied quietly.

”Our Black Blood Hall acts swiftly; the absence of Iron Armor Mechanisms saves us trouble. But climbing the wall, the Cloud Void Stone can’t hide everyone. Deploy the high-level siege rope and start scaling the wall.”

”Take your Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, bring all your abilities to their peak—kill with a single strike!”

The Red Race Assassin Commander gave the order.

”Yes!”

The Red Race assassins began spreading out to scale the wall.

At least half the warriors lost the concealment of Cloud Void Stone, revealing themselves.

They all wore nightclothes, black hats, and masked their faces with black fabric.

None carried long weapons; each was armed with short swords and daggers.

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...”

On the city wall, Yi Tian and the others didn’t need Second Child to report by sound—they all heard the assassins shooting siege ropes at the base of the female wall.

”Rustle, rustle...”

Then came the sound of climbing up the wall.

With no resistance, the Red Race assassins scaled the wall quickly, using their hands.

Yi Tian signaled all combatants to take a sip of Osmanthus Wine.

He also nodded to Tai Zhong, and Tai Zhong understood.

Tai Zhong grasped a Beast Core and slapped it on the female wall.

Along the whole east female wall, all the beast cores shattered in the recesses, flooding the runes with energy.

The runes activated, light flashed downward at the speed of light.

Instantly, white light flickered.

The Gravity Array resonated with the wall, doubling its power by 100%.

The Red Race assassins, halfway up, were suddenly struck with crushing gravity, barely hanging on.

With the sudden weight, they could barely move, unable to adjust in such short time.

”Bad news! It’s a trap!”

The Red Race Assassin Commander shouted.

But it was too late!
