Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1917: Chapter 177: Who Could Withstand Such a Trial? (Part 3)

“Bang!”

Before the Black Iron Tower could finish speaking, a heavy object struck the back of his head.

Dazed, he instinctively turned around, only to see a girl in purple combat attire floating behind him, holding a large gold brick.

Who else could this girl be but Wang Ying Xuan?

The door guard of the Black Iron Tower stared at her blankly, opened his mouth, and with difficulty spat out a few words: “I… will not…”

“Boom!”

The Black Iron Tower door guard collapsed.

Wang Ying Xuan quickly put away the gold brick she used to hit him and swiftly called out for everyone to retreat: “Quick, quick, quick, the patrol team will arrive in less than half a stick of incense. We need to make a run for it, I have the badges and disguises all prepared.”

Wang Licui and the others immediately followed her deftly.

As they were leaving, Zhang Huaibing didn’t forget to retrieve the bag of Spirit Stones.

It was evident that this entire operation had been pre-planned. Lan Wanni and Wang Licui would distract the door guard, allowing Wang Ying Xuan to sneak up behind and launch a surprise attack.

The plan was simple, yet very effective.

It was unclear how Wang Ying Xuan managed to do it, but she had clearly mapped out the terrain outside the training camp and even acquired a full set of soldier uniforms from within the base.

Everyone followed her as they fled, avoiding patrols and changing disguises. They quickly used the stolen badges to blend out of the Immortal No. 3 base and swiftly disappeared into the outer battlefield.

It wasn’t long.

This matter was soon reported to the sub-command station.

Upon learning of the situation, Princess Su Yun’s expression changed, and she immediately glared at Wu Yinghao beside her: “Wu Yinghao, is this what you said couldn’t cause any trouble?”

Wu Yinghao looked ashamed and aggrieved: “Your Highness, this is my fault. I’ll immediately lead people to capture them back. And I’ve already ordered all checkpoints to be on high alert, and a copy of their images has been sent over, ensuring they won’t go to the front lines.”

“Blame me. I overestimated you.” Princess Su Yun pressed her forehead, her headache intensifying, “I shouldn’t have entrusted those kids to you. What would I tell the Immortal Supreme if something happened?”

Though she knew they were bold and full of tricks, she didn’t expect their courage to be this immense. Even knowing the dangers of the outer battlefield, they dared to venture out!

The outer battlefield was far from being as peaceful as the Immortal Dynasty’s territory, and absolute safety couldn’t be guaranteed even in one’s own defense area. Moreover, with the tense situation on the outer battlefield, small bands of outer demons continued to emerge, anything could happen.

Even though these kids were top-notch among their peers, with extraordinary strength, she truly couldn’t be at ease.

Princess Su Yun sighed. Just as she was about to order a search, a report came from outside: “Your Highness, subordinate Wang Dingfeng has important intelligence to report.”

“Wang Dingfeng?” Princess Su Yun took a deep breath, calming her mood before speaking, “Come in.”

As soon as she finished speaking.

A tall, lean middle-aged man “drifted” in like a ghost.

His steps were light and soundless, his movements nearly silent, and even the fluctuations of Mysterious Energy on him were completely restrained. It was clear he was well-practiced in reconnaissance work, forming a professional habit.

He was one of the younger Divine Skill Elders of the “Ding” generation from the Han Yue Wang family and a commandant of the Princess Mansion.

Due to his rare inherited Wind bloodline that excelled in stealth and speed, and his meticulous nature, he was appointed as the Scout Commander for the Princess Mansion.

Princess Su Yun was a promising candidate for ascension, and various forces had long allied with her, making her Princess Mansion filled with talent and masters alike.

“General Wang, you didn’t use the military’s information transmission system and instead hurriedly used Divine Skills to personally deliver the message.” Princess Su Yun calmly said, “Could it be, you’ve gathered critical intelligence?”

Wang Dingfeng’s speed was incredibly fast, and using his Divine Skills for travel was quicker than the Spirit Birds specifically reared for message delivery by the Immortal Dynasty, with less risk of error.

“Your Highness.” Wang Dingfeng took out a piece of intelligence and respectfully presented it, “My scouts discovered a Demonic Clan army moving suspiciously. After some careful investigation, it’s confirmed that the Demonic Army is responsible for transporting human captives. However, the opposing force is quite strong, and we didn’t dare to alert them.”

“Human captives?” Princess Su Yun immediately perked up and carefully examined the intelligence.

Suddenly, her expression changed dramatically: “Over thirty captives? And the destination is the Gluttonous fortress, where Gluttonous Demon King is stationed?”

“Exactly.” Wang Dingfeng’s eyes also flamed with anger, “From the data collected, it’s evident that these captives are mostly young people, likely young Sky Prides from various Prominent Families or the Sacred Land Immortal Palace taken in recent years.”

The Gluttonous Demon King was notorious; if these human captives fell into its hands, the outcome was predictable.

Moreover, the Demon King, self-proclaimed to have refinement, was particularly picky, refusing to consume the old or the weak, with a keen preference for youthful and vigorous Sky Prides of the human race, and had even researched various ways to consume them.

The human race did wish to eliminate it, but the Gluttonous Demon King was formidable, its army substantial, with the Yincha Demonic God backing it.

“Despicable!” Princess Su Yun shattered the table with her jade palm, her face livid with anger, “If these human captives suffer, no matter the cost, this princess will dismantle the Gluttonous Demon King! Yinghao, gather this princess’s troops immediately, we must launch a rescue operation.”
