Page 817Chapter 817 – You Think I Won’t Know If You Don’t Say It?
Xianyang, Blood Evil Mercenary Guild Headquarters.
Blood Romance looked at the mysterious person in front of him and expressionlessly said, “So you’re saying that as long as I work with you, I can smoothly take down the Satellite City in Xianyang Imperial City?”
“100 percent.” The mysterious person said confidently.
Blood Romance laughed mockingly.
“What are you laughing at?”
Blood Romance gazed at him like he was looking at an idiot and said, “To take something that belongs to me to trade with me. Is your brain working?”
“You!” The mysterious person hailed from a noble family and had never been humiliated like this before. He wanted to actually fight Blood Romance on the spot. However, thinking back to the mission handed to him by the organization, he suppressed the anger in his heart.
The mysterious person said, “I do not understand what you’re saying.”
Blood Romance shook his head, “With or without yours help, the Satellite City already belongs to the Blood Evil Mercenary Guild. Do you understand?”
“Preposterous!” The mysterious man finally lost his temper, “So there is no room for negotiation?”
Blood Romance gestured for the mysterious person to leave, “I will not send you out.”
The mysterious man looked at Blood Romance and coldly said, “Do not think that you’re strong just because you rule Xianyang City. The strength of the organization is not something you can mess with. Wait and see!”
Since he had messed up the mission, the mysterious man was in a terrible mood.
Blood Romance’s expression did not change as he made the same gesture once more.
“Scoff, what an arrogant fellow!”
The mysterious person left those words behind before disappearing into the night sky.
After the mysterious person left, Blood Romance’s expression finally changed; he looked both emotional and excited, but his expression also contained a hint of hate. Such a complicated expression was truly rare.
“You think that just because you did not introduce yourself that I will not know who you are? Silver Hand!” Blood Romance’s expression suddenly turned cold; he actually knew of the existence of Silver Hand.
This huge show in the wilderness was getting more and more interesting.
Nanjiang, Shanhai City.
The night had arrived and the bustling night city finally became quiet and peaceful.
The masses could not block off the exhaustion and sleepiness as they slowly went their own ways. Only the lamps that stubbornly burned in the vast night sky remained.
After accompanying Song Jia, Ouyang Shuo did not rest and instead came to the reading room. The huge reading room was silent; under the cover of the night sky, it even seemed a little evil and gloomy.
Ouyang Shuo did not think too much of it, only when he was here could he truly calm down and plan for the future of the territory.
Many of the plans of the territory were thought of by Ouyang Shuo on such nights. Here, under this silent night sky, Ouyang Shuo’s train of thought grew exceptionally clear.
When viewing the lanterns at night, Ouyang Shuo felt uneasy. For someone whose cultivation had reached such a level, any random movement in their hearts represented something unusual.
As such, he came to the reading room as he wanted to find the source of his uneasiness.
The moment he sat down, Ouyang Shuo saw two secret letters placed on his table. Obviously, they were sent tonight. It was the Lantern Festival, so to get letters so late was truly unusual.
Ouyang Shuo bore the uneasiness in his heart and took a look at both letters; one was from Jianqi Leiyin and the other was from Bai Hua.
“Why would Jianqi Leiyin write to me at such a time?”
Ouyang Shuo could not help but frown as this matter was getting weirder and weirder. He had not had much contact with Jianqi Leiyin, and it was the other female players who were closer to her.
The most recent exchange was still the time when they were discussing the equipment deal.
“Did some situation occur that made her need an emergency set of equipment?” Ouyang Shuo could only guess, and he did not dare take it lightly and immediately ripped open the letter. There was only one short line.
Ouyang Shuo read out, “Sorry, please be careful.” He did not understand, “What is she saying?” Only then did he notice the names of a few guild leaders written at the bottom.
“Aren’t these the guild leaders of the top few guilds in Luoyang?” Now Ouyang Shuo was extremely confused.
Since he did not understand the matter, Ouyang Shuo decided to leave it aside first and open Bai Hua’s letter first. He had a feeling that this letter would give him the answer.
As expected, Bai Hua’s letter was regarding Moon Shines over the River being captured in Dali. Her words revealed her anxiousness and uneasiness.
Looking at the letter, Ouyang Shuo could not help but frown.
He had the gut feeling that Silver Hand was in action.
Jianqi Leiyin was probably asking him to be careful of Silver Hand, which meant that Tingyu Floor had been taken down by Silver Hand.
“What terrible news.”
Ouyang Shuo muttered, “You want to act from the outer circle?” His mood was getting worse and worse. It seemed like the opponent this time was much more difficult than the Yanhuang Alliance as they were far calmer and craftier.
They did not target Shanhai City right away and instead wanted to use warm water to cook the frog, removing Shanhai City’s allies one by one before giving them a deadly blow.
“What a patient opponent.” Ouyang Shuo concluded.
Ouyang Shuo was worried that Bai Hua might do something rash.
After sending out the letter, Ouyang Shuo was still feeling unsettled. On the eve of the Satellite City battle, both Qingfeng Pavillion and Tingyu Floor were hit, so what about the other guilds related to Shanhai City?
Like Blood Evil Mercenary Guild, Laojun Temple, Streamer, and even Shadow Alliance and other second rate guilds, would they face the same problems?
Or had they already faced problems but just did not tell him like Jianqi Leiyin did?
Ouyang Shuo had no idea and his mind was in a mess.
He needed to deal with all this.
In the silent reading room, Ouyang Shuo sat alone on his chair, thinking with his eyes closed. He wanted to break through the fog in front of him but did not know where to start.
With the way Silver Hand acted, since they struck, they were not doing it for fun. Amongst all the guilds, probably only War-Snow Rose would not be targeted by them.
Silver Hand probably knew about the relationship between the two.
Ouyang Shuo immediately realized that they will be in danger, so he wanted to write a letter to Lin Jing to tell her to be more cautious.
Right after he wrote a line of words, he placed down his brush.
“No, it’s too late.” Ouyang Shuo raised his head and looked at the night sky. Unknowingly, it was the middle of the night and the sky would be bright in just three to four hours.
Thinking about this, Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate. He decided to make a trip to Jianye.
“Men!”
“Monarch!” Hearing the voice, Xu Chu who had been guarding outside walked into the reading room.
Ouyang Shuo said, “Gather the troops; I will make a trip.”
Xu Chu nodded, “Do you need the Divine Martial Guards?”
Ouyang Shuo pondered and said, “Bring them! The world was so unstable right now, and he had to stay on guard.
“Also call Xiahou Dun over.”
“Yes Monarch!”
Xu Chu turned around to prepare.
However, Ouyang Shuo still felt uneasy; this was the first time he had truly felt the pressure that Silver Hand could exert on him.
“Monarch!”
Before coming, Xiahou Dun splashed his face with water to freshen up. The Monarch had summoned him at night, so it was probably for an emergency. Naturally, he did not dare take it lightly.
Ouyang Shuo said, “Thank you for your hard work, Mister Xiahou.”
The Monarch was still working in the reading room, so how would Xiahou Dun dare say that he was working hard?
As time was of the essence, Ouyang Shuo directly asked, “In the Combat Logistics Department Armory, how many Three-bowed Arcuballistas and God-arm Crossbows do we have?”
Ouyang Shuo was still worried about War-Snow Rose and wanted to send them another set of equipment. To the guild, these two were the best weapons for defending the Satellite City.
Even the P1 Type Cannon did not have as much killing power as the Three-bowed Arcuballistas, not to mention how inconvenient it was and hard to transport it was at this moment.
Xiahou Dun immediately replied, “250 Three-bowed Arcuballistas, 15 thousand God-arm Crossbows.”
God-arm Crossbows were the long ranged weapons that the guilds loved, so they would more or less purchase all of them. Hence, there were not many left in the armory.
Luckily, Ouyang Shuo had a limited carrying capacity, so he could not carry much either.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, “Okay, lead me there. I will take 100 Three-bowed Arcuballistas and five thousand God-arm Crossbows. Record it down.”
Even though Ouyang Shuo was the Monarch, he could not casually take the items. There were rules for everything, and if he randomly used stuff, people would use his name to take items from the armory.
If that happened, the rules would all be messed up.
“Yes Monarch!”
Xiahou Dun nodded and led the way.
For such a large batch of equipment, even though Ouyang Shuo’s storage bag had been upgraded, he still could not fit them all.
Furthermore, the crossbows all required ammunition.
The bolts of the God-arm Crossbows could be left to War-snow Rose to prepare on their own, but the Three-bowed Arcubalistas were unique to Shanhai City.
Ouyang Shuo was only in charge of carrying the 100 Three-bowed Arcubalistas and their ammunition – that was his maximum.
The remaining would be brought by the three thousand Divine Martial Guards.
After loading up, Ouyang Shuo did not delay and brought all of them to teleport out of the teleportation formation in the imperial city, disappearing into the night sky.
