Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 907: Chapter 428: Halting the Enemy’s Advance (2)

Of course, the officials are merely curious about future intelligence; having one less enemy is always for the best.

“So powerful…” Cheese sighed, the Emperor… an existence above the King.

But she quickly realized, whether it was Yunling or Scale Remains’ future, Li Yelai and Doll seemed to have no intersection.

As for Scale Remains’ future, it goes without saying that Li Yelai in that future is a Wilderness Ranger, having no direct relation with Giant City.

Perhaps they don’t even know Doll, naturally, likely don’t know herself either. She and Doll have no chance… it might be some Ranger.

Whereas in Yunling Civilization’s future, Doll and he aren’t lovers. They are quite indifferent to each other; conversely, my relationship with him should be good…

‘So that’s it, in that future… I and he are…’ Cheese’s heart suddenly surged with intense annoyance and anger.

The Heartless Fruit’s temptation rose again.

‘Yes, this was the original path….’

‘Worried about getting into a mishap, not daring to express any affection, what’s wrong with that?’

‘She’s the villain! The thief!’

Cheese tried her best to suppress the malice rising within, picking up coffee to calm the discomfort in her heart.

Due to the darkness all around, Li Yelai didn’t notice her anomaly but reminded: “It’s almost time…”

Cheese glanced at him, her originally angry and unwilling mood slowly subsided.

If not for the Heartless Fruit…

“Yes, it’s almost time…”

“Don’t worry, the plan will succeed… I will surely attract all their attention…” Li Yelai whispered, indeed having come up with an idea.

…

With each passing second, the rainwater grew increasingly torrential.

Thunderbolts fell, awakening countless beautiful dreams unaware.

Inside the City Lord Mansion of Green Flood Dragon City State, a middle-aged man was awakened by the sound of a thunderbolt.

He woke up from a bed adorned with a jade-like body.

Seeing next to him a youthful and delicate yet lifeless girl.

The girl was young, but her beauty was beyond concealment. She was a beauty in the making.

She was the youngest daughter of some great noble, deeply favored.

Unfortunately, she could no longer wait for the moment that her charm blossomed. Her neck was brutally strangled…

Looking at the girl’s painful and terrified expression, a trace of reluctance flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes: “Still couldn’t hold back… What a sin it is.”

He indeed felt sorry, he had plotted for a long time to obtain this trophy, only for it to be damaged like this.

“But rest assured, uncle will preserve you well.” The middle-aged man lifted the girl’s petite body, walking towards the dark room of the chamber.

This was his peculiarity, loving to preserve beautiful women. Whenever the night fell silent, he would gaze at his collection. It brought him immense satisfaction.

Even within the city state, this was an act that could not see the light of day.

If discovered by the family, he would likely face execution. The nobles cannot afford to lose face.

So, for these years, he had hidden deeply, not daring to display any desire.

Until a few days ago… he overthrew the previous generation family, becoming a true great noble. He no longer had to conceal his desires!

He attacked the allied nobles, killed their vital force, seized the spoils of war, and gained greater power.

Looking at the body in his arms, still bearing a trace of warmth, the middle-aged man sighed lightly, then smiled again.

Now he could add another piece to his collection…

Moreover, thereafter, his collection would grow ever larger!

“Among those outsiders, there are quite a few decent ones. Unfortunately, those prisoners, the lord prohibits touching them. Otherwise, you might have lived a few more days.” The middle-aged man patted the girl’s face, fantasizing about the outsiders’ taste.

Before the outsiders clashed with the city state, he had set his eyes on a few beautiful girls.

But during that period, he dared not act.

Now, he was fearless.

“I truly hope those search teams can find them.” The middle-aged man thought, reaching to open the dark room’s door.

However, at the moment of opening, he saw dense black smoke and flames at the deepest part of the storage room.

“No!” He shouted in terror, watching helplessly as his most prized collection burned in the flames as sacrifice, each exquisite body turning to fuel in that instant.

Amid the dense black smoke, he saw a silhouette.

That was… an outsider!

An outsider, a handsome young man!

He extended both hands and slightly bowed, speaking in slightly imperfect city state language: “City Lord, are you pleased with this gift?”

One by one, golden peas fell from his palm.

“I’ll kill you!” Tears of anger burst from the middle-aged man’s eyes as powerful spiritual energy surged forth!

As his spiritual energy flowed, the strong guards protecting the City Lord Mansion were instantly alerted.

Vibrant spiritual energy quickly rushed forth.

However, that handsome male, behind him, appeared streaks of golden light, hundreds of imitative Heavenly Soldiers raised their weapons.

Simultaneously, the man coldly uttered: “Thunderbolt!”

In an instant, amidst the inky thunderclouds, the lightning flashed! Bridging heaven and earth!

Piercing alarm bells sounded almost simultaneously.

“It’s the outsiders!”

“The City Lord Mansion is under attack!”

“Quick! Go support!”

In the darkness, voices rang out, pointing the bewildered city state strong people to the right path.

The city state strong people were both shocked and angered: “Daring to offend the City Lord? Kill!”

They charged furiously into the rainy night.

Among them, a city state general swept his gaze over the beggars and slaves avoiding the rain on the street without pausing and continued rushing towards the City Lord Mansion.

As he moved away, those few beggars and slaves instantly dashed into the darkness, accelerating faster than the general towards another direction.

Among them, someone unraveled the ornament around their neck, restoring their voice.

Their movements were extremely swift, reaching the dungeon in a flash.

A dungeon guard sensed the danger and was just about to signal an alarm, only to feel a pain in the chest.

As weakness overtook, he saw several figures behind him, the faces of his comrades, and… his own face?

….

Simultaneously, in a certain building within the city state.

“What’s happening?”

“The City Lord Mansion is under attack!”

“The official’s decapitation action?”

“Ensure that City Lord is protected; he’s our faithful believer.”

“We haven’t lured them here yet, but they’ve come themselves. Desire Demon Army, march out!”

Dozens of elite charged out, and some Monster Army hidden within the city state awakened at that moment.

And at a mountain top tens of kilometers away from the city state, a young man with a clear appearance was playing with the Ranger Coin in his hand.

He noticed the changes in Green Flood Dragon City State but didn’t care.

His goal was only one…

“Will you take action, Night General…”

…

The rescue mission initially proceeded smoothly, Moon Shadow’s feint forces drew much of the city’s military units away.

But when the rescue team delved deeper into the dungeon, it inevitably triggered alarms.

Inside the dungeon, elite of the Jile Sect were stationed. Before they were annihilated, signals were sent.

When the rescue team painstakingly released restraints, leading those comrades already mentally confused out of the dungeon.

Legions from Jile and the city state were also rapidly encircling.

“Didn’t I tell you… not to come save us… they were only waiting for you to fall into the trap…” Some rescued comrades painfully said: “Can’t you see it?”

“Fear not, we’ll charge out!”

Official strong people carried the wounded and plunged into the rain-drenched night.

Golden peas fell, imitative Heavenly Soldiers transformed into sound golden blare.

“Before more enemies arrive, break through!”

Meanwhile, in the forest outside the city state, fireworks ignited.

Scarlet fireworks stood out starkly against the dim rainy night.

They were the most favorable response from scattered Ye Boshou!

They didn’t even know this operation or entirely disapproved of the rescue mission.

Yet, upon sensing their comrades were in danger, they chose to expose their position!

‘I have arrived at the battlefield!’

‘To block enemies!’
