Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 595: Chapter 279: Goodbye Doll

No matter what No. 2 Border City’s intentions were or what conspiracies the various sects of the Ember Church might have had,

Li Yelai had to establish contact with the reinforcements from No. 3 Border City.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to exert any influence within No. 2 Border City.

To the officials of No. 2 Border City, if you’re a damned Chaos Chosen and dare to reveal yourself, they will crush you!

And from the Blood God Faction’s perspective, he couldn’t possibly command the Church’s Fifth Legion to attack ‘friendly forces,’ could he?

Moreover, within No. 2 Border City, Li Yelai also didn’t dare to use his ultimate trump card, the Lucky Wheel.

That kind of thing could only be used in the enemy’s main base; inside the Giant City, it could only gather dust.

After a brief rest, Li Yelai inquired within the estate about the whereabouts of his legion.

It was the Fifth Legion led by the Emperor’s Fall Chosen One, which had almost lost its entire composition previously, but had regained a not insignificant combat power after the Main Base’s allocation, and was one of the main forces in this operation.

The one who responded to Li Yelai was the messenger, who was also the Divine Chosen Servant who had led the team to support Red Fury, Cheng Mei.

She was assigned by Fen Xiao to take care of the Divine Chosen’s daily needs.

“Sir, your legion has already begun to arrive at the sub-branch,” Cheng Mei, dressed in a women’s suit, had quite the presence.

Not only was she a servant to the Burning Roar Chosen One, but she also managed a significant company within No. 2 Border City.

Who would have thought that such a formidable-looking businesswoman would actually be a high-ranking member of the Ember Church?

As she poured a cup of tea for Li Yelai, she explained, “The Spiritual Ability Soldiers will be sent into the Giant City in batches.”

With that, she handed the cup of tea to Li Yelai.

The Demon General White Cliff snorted coldly, stepped forward to take the tea cup from Cheng Mei’s hand, and after passing it to Li Yelai,

then stood in front of Cheng Mei and asked, “Can you really get so many people in? Wouldn’t the Giant City notice? Although the Fifth Legion is not at full strength, there are over three thousand veteran soldiers and more than two thousand of the Bloodsucking Ghost Army.”

White Cliff was somewhat wary of Cheng Mei; she suspected that Cheng Mei was trying to seduce the Divine Chosen One.

And she didn’t want her to get any closer.

Having one Hong Zhuang was already quite uncomfortable for White Cliff; there was no need for another! It would only hinder Lord Di Yun’s quest on the path of slaughter!

Women only interfere with the speed of drawing the sword!

Cheng Mei didn’t mind and replied with a smile, “Please don’t worry, White Cliff Demon General. We have our ways: the guards of certain merchant caravans, some migrants from the wilderness, even some secret channels not recorded by the officials… All are means of our infiltration. We have operated in this Giant City for decades. During this time, our sub-branch has been wiped out twice, and one Divine Chosen has died. But now, we are deeply intertwined with the Giant City.”

Li Yelai, sitting on the sofa, felt a heavy heart, which illustrated the terrifying infiltration strength of this sub-branch.

Twice wiped out, and even a Divine Chosen killed, they could still rise from the ashes?

Indeed, the cleansing operation in No. 3 Border City also unmasked a large number of Chaos followers, and even traitors from within the Processing Department.

But even so, they were unable to completely eradicate Chaos believers.

They lurked beneath the prosperity of the Giant City, ready to reveal their tusks at any moment.

The corruption of Chaos was pervasive.

White Cliff continued, “The veterans might pass through your channels into the Giant City, given that they are Spiritual Ability Users—smuggling in or hiding wouldn’t be too difficult. But what about those Bloodsuckers? It’s very hard for Bloodsuckers to maintain their sanity!”

Indeed, the uniqueness of the Bloodsuckers lies in their terrifying melee combat strength and the fact that the sight of blood sends them into a complete frenzy.

On the battlefield, deploying Bloodsuckers could result in a massacre. In fact, the Border Iron Guard was established to face the Bloodsuckers.

But in peacetime, this special troop is prone to fighting among themselves.

They possess some rationality, but not much, if any.

Only Divine Chosen and Demon Generals can command them. But once blood is spilled, they become like possessed fiends, even attacking their comrades.

That’s why, typically, sub-branches don’t keep Bloodsuckers.

Only the Main Base has sealed blood veins that can temporarily contain Bloodsuckers, allowing them to store large numbers of them.

Veteran soldiers might still smuggle in, but likely not the Bloodsuckers. And it wouldn’t take much for an accidental exposure.

“Please don’t worry,” Cheng Mei said with a smile. “If the Bloodsuckers can’t enter the Giant City, they will stay outside. Once the operation starts, we will take down the high walls and let them begin their bloody carnage.”

I see, Li Yelai felt it was a pity; otherwise, he could have used the Emotion Pocket Watch to incite a riot among the Bloodsuckers, turning them against each other, and then let it be discovered by No. 2 Border City.

It could also serve as a reminder to the officials, alerting them to the Chaos Faction’s conspiracy from another angle.

Thus, Li Yelai nodded slightly, “Tell me their location, I need to ensure the current state of my subordinates.”

“Of course, but please ensure you’re disguised and do not employ your powers. The Processors of No. 2 Border City are not to be taken lightly,” Cheng Mei cautioned.

“Hmph! Who do you think you’re questioning?” White Cliff chided, her voice cold.

Cheng Mei paused, realizing her reminder might have been too redundant.

This was a Chaos Chosen, after all. Revealing himself while simply walking the streets would indeed be preposterous.

Even the Blood God would probably laugh in anger.

Therefore, Cheng Mei bowed and said, “You may use any vehicle in the garage. Sir, would you like me to accompany you?”

“No need, let White Cliff and Hong Zhuang follow me,” replied Li Yelai. “Just give me the address.”
