Chapter 867: Chapter 737: Coordination

The City Guard here is still watching the commotion, unaware that the fortress there is about to collapse.

The one who shouted ”enemy attack” earlier was none other than the only A-level in the fortress, responsible for this Pioneer Team.

He is a seasoned old Pioneer Team member, having seen many ghostly fiend tricks.

It’s not his turn to watch the night today—in fact, A-levels don’t need to watch, but he also wasn’t deeply resting.

He was awakened by the noises and made a judgment in less than three seconds—an enemy attack!

Evidence? None needed; it’s the intuition of a battle-hardened veteran.

If they waited to find evidence before deploying, they’d be dead a hundred times over!

Anyway, even if the judgment was wrong, it’s just a false alarm; what’s the harm?

On a regular battlefield, reporting false military news could lead to execution, but in this battle, caution is most important.

This kind of small-scale battle doesn’t involve strategic situations, but people do die!

However, right as he shouted, an unusual pressure smashed over suddenly—yes, smashed.

Supreme pressure can steadily suppress A-levels, and an A-level Spiritual Attribute Awakened’s spiritual attack can dominate peers.

So, what’s the feeling of a Supreme spiritual attack on an A-level? Of course, it’s a smash! A crush!

Qu Jianlei unleashed this attack without holding back, continuing with spiritual power attacks on several B-levels.

Concerned about leaving traces of spiritual attacks? He’s really not worried about this.

Because times have changed, he now has comrades; he only needs to fight and slaughter, and other matters are handled by comrades!

Qu Jianlei wants to attack the Norton Family’s Supreme, but this is somewhat frustrating.

Qianfeng is mingled with a crowd, and he’s cautious enough, with his energy well concealed.

Making it exceptionally difficult for Qu Jianlei to pinpoint him and pull him out.

But this doesn’t matter, he just needs a little time.

However, among so many Pioneer Team members, there are bound to be smart ones.

Within seconds, someone noticed something was wrong, ”Hurry up, shoot! Repel the enemy!”

”I really want to shoot, but the problem is, where’s the enemy? Where’s the enemy? Tell me!”

”What the hell are you saying? Just shoot, don’t worry about where the enemy is!”

”That’s right, just shoot, those City Guard bastards are watching a show, can’t send messages, no one knows we’re under attack!”

The valuable trait of battle-hardened veterans is here, making relatively clear judgments based on experience without reminders.

Don’t think the decision of ”random shooting” is easy to make.

Random shooting can indeed serve as a warning, but more often it’s a ridiculous spectacle.

In any Pioneer Team, people who shoot without asking questions are mocked afterward at the very least.

In the worst cases, there’s a possibility of being secretly shot—this guy wastes ammo so much, affecting the team’s profits!

More often, such people are expelled from the team due to affecting the team’s honor.

Next moment, gunfire and cannons echoed, indeed random shooting.

Although prone to ridicule, the most important thing is warning the City Guard: damn it, we have a situation here!

However, unfortunately, most City Guards don’t know that this location has a fortress, belonging to their own camp!

”Enemy attack!” Suddenly, a shrill alarm pierced the quiet rainy night.

Followed by countless ammunition pouring down on the fortress, brilliant fireworks lit up half the sky.

”Stop firing!” A pressure soared from the fortress, precisely the always concealing Qianfeng Supreme.

”I’m Qianfeng, got ambushed by petty thieves, be highly vigilant, we’ll support each other, um...”

He didn’t want to stop talking, mainly because a spiritual attack hit his mind heavily.

He didn’t have time to utter another word before he softly collapsed to the ground.

Almost at the same time, someone inside the fortress noticed a flickering figure, ”There... someone is there!”

Unfortunately, internal and external communications were severed, with the Supreme and A-level both fallen, the message couldn’t be sent out.

Five kilometers isn’t far yet isn’t exactly near either.

At this moment, several thunderbolts rolled by, the previously crackling and barely restored communication was once again cut off.

However, one of the lightning bolts did illuminate a faint human figure.

At that moment, the rain suddenly intensified, and an elder among the City Guard quickly saw through the situation.

”Rain manipulation! The opponent has a high-tier Water Attribute Awakened!”

Meanwhile, the gunner in the fortress who saw the silhouette decisively aimed the cannon and fired.

Bear in mind, the Pioneer Teams are mostly fearless types, able to smile at death—even if dying, they’ll take a chunk out of you.

They earn money by risking their lives; even if they must die today, they’ll ensure to bring down one or two.

However, the next moment, everyone felt a darkness before their eyes, ”Damn, where’s the person? Where’s the light?”

This is precisely Claire employing ”Light Deprivation”.

Light Deprivation is a range technique; generally, range techniques are not mastered by C-levels.

However, light and darkness attributes are exceptions, able to affect Awakened even across ranks.

Back when Qu Jianlei was at B-level, he was ambushed by a Dark Attribute C-level in Central City, plunging into a mass of darkness.

The power of Dark Attribute Techniques is evident from this.

In this chaos, Qu Jianlei moved like a phantom, darting towards the bunker.

With the cover of Water Attribute tendencies, his figure became even more elusive, extremely hard to catch.

Never mind that the gunner’s sight was deprived, even if they could see him, they might not be able to hit him.

Moreover, he was clad in Golden Armor, so occasionally getting hit by a shell was not a big deal.

The bunker door was very sturdy, theoretically able to withstand Supreme Range Techniques.

But that was just theoretically; while the door might hold, the surrounding walls might not.

Just as Qu Jianlei was puzzled beforehand, how this bunker was secretly built without him noticing?

Through his perception, he realized he was not wrong; the bunker indeed only had a sturdy door.

Outside the Norton family’s estate, there are actually three more bunkers, also very well hidden, but the defense has been taken over by the City Guard.

Qu Jianlei believes these three bunkers were already built before.

The Norton Family likely thought these were already known to outsiders, so they handed them over to the City Guard, whose defense level is ordinary.

Only this bunker was given high expectations, with the main ambush force stationed here.

Qu Jianlei didn’t use the door but instead wielded his Long Blade, directly breaking through the ground beside the bunker and charging in.

As soon as he rushed in, a mass of water vapor followed him, and then a gust of wind faintly swept through.

Xiang Xue and Flower Scorpion’s armor was quite poor, so before charging in, they were wearing Xiao Qin’s Wood Armor.

Although the bunker was hidden, the inside space was not small, mainly underground.

Qu Jianlei led the charge at the front, with the two women following behind, engaging in a slaughter.

He mainly targeted the Awakened, especially several B-level and A-level ones, whom the two women found difficult to defeat.

Xiang Xue primarily dealt with Modified Warriors, leaving noticeable marks from Water Attribute Techniques.

Flower Scorpion focused on picking up leftovers and scavenging for spoils, even storing the bodies of B-level and A-level Warriors in the Storage Talisman.

She had been instructed, knowing the boss needed spiritual power to handle these stubborn guys, leaving no traces.

Moreover, Claire’s actions exposed the fact that their side had a Dark Attribute Awakened, necessitating the complete elimination of everyone inside the bunker.

This round of slaughter seems lengthy when described, but in reality, it lasted less than a minute before the three of them rushed out like a gust of wind.

Next up was their escape, and within three minutes of leaving, a large number of City Guard troops surrounded them, firing artillery.

Another two minutes passed, two Attack Ships arrived, followed by a Supreme after a few minutes.

This reaction cannot be said to be untimely, but unfortunately, it was still late.

The Supreme took in the scene, frowning slightly.

”There are only traces of Electromagnetic Attribute and Wood Attribute, the other traces have been cleared.”

Xiang Xue’s Water Attribute tendencies allowed her aura to completely disappear, as did Flower Scorpion’s; there’s always the wind with rain.

The aura of the Dark Attribute easily assimilates into the night, though Claire was only C-level, and Qu Jianlei intervened to help a bit.

Nevertheless, the City Guard is aware that today’s assailants include a Gold Attribute Supreme and a Water Attribute Rainmaker.

In short, the intruders today numbered at least four.

Worse still, all Awakened above B-level in the bunker have vanished, neither alive nor dead, just missing.

The warship and Supreme quickly commenced a massive search around the vicinity.

But regrettably, they arrived a tad late and found no trace of the adversaries despite thoroughly sweeping the area.

Qu Jianlei was now wearing a Space Mecha, flying close to the ground, leading the group to the edge of the rain clouds.

Celestial Handle, the Star Domain Central Star, is equipped with an extensive monitoring system, with satellites numerous as cattle.

However, for satellites, the night is inherently unfavorable, not to mention the cover of rain clouds?

Moreover, the agile Space Mecha is designed for space combat, with fairly decent invisibility features.

Coupled with Qu Jianlei choosing to travel through wilderness, flying low, they managed to reach 200 kilometers away without incident.

Once landed, Qu Jianlei put away the Space Mecha, and Xiang Xue couldn’t help but ask, ”Why not kill this guy?”

Turns out Qu Jianlei was still holding onto the Supreme Qianfeng.

Qu Jianlei chuckled, having rendered this person unconscious with his spiritual power and subsequently placed restrictions, worrying not about any resistance.

”I still have use for him and promised someone else.”

This battle was lightning-fast, exceptionally swift with the collaboration of comrades making a marked difference.

If it were him alone, the fight would not have been so effortless.

He wouldn’t have been able to cover all aspects in minor matters, and the possibility of capturing a Supreme alive remains uncertain.

This place is quite a distance from Xiang Xue’s off-road vehicle, about more than a hundred kilometers.

Fortunately, Qu Jianlei still had two motorcycles in hand.

Nonetheless, six people plus an injured person squeezing on two motorcycles was a bit unsightly, so Xiao Qin rode a motorcycle carrying Xiang Xue away.

Over two hours later, both the motorcycle and off-road vehicle returned.
