Chapter 494 - 500: Assassinating the West Sea Governor

Earth Dragon Realm’s ten major territories.

The natural scenery of West Sea City is the most perfect.

Golden beaches, warm sunshine, crystal-clear waters stretching for miles, everything seems so wonderful, easily outshining any seaside vacation spot people can imagine.

However.

The situation in the West Sea Province is extremely complex.

Firstly, in terms of geographical environment, the West Sea Province is a land of a thousand islands, fragmented and separated, with territories scattered and uneven, making management and governance very challenging.

Secondly, in terms of power and biological composition, the West Sea Province is alive with numerous ocean races and sea monsters, even underwater cities.

It is impossible for Mad Dragon Heska to completely control this region.

Therefore, back then, Chen Yu and her team chose to go to the West Sea Province, which turned out to be a rather good choice, as the complex environment is more suitable for growth.

Unfortunately.

They didn’t have much luck.

The Earth Lords of the West Sea Province are generally not under Heska’s control.

Yet the Governor Minius was a Dragonman personally cultivated by Heska at great cost.

Minius and the Mad Dragon King aren’t of the same tribe, and he was once a member of Mist Dragon City, having great respect and fear for the Mad Dragon King, thus not daring to procrastinate and executed Heska’s will promptly.

Hang Yu soon arrived at the West Sea Province.

He didn’t get to meet his acquaintance Chen Yu.

Because just as Hang Yu arrived in the West Sea Province, Governor Minius once again ordered his trusted generals to accelerate the pace of encircling humans, clear the last few cities, and completely wipe out human bases in the West Sea.

No choice.

At critical moments.

Chen Yu couldn’t be distracted.

She busied herself organizing resistance and simultaneously reached out to Hang Yu for help.

No one in the West Sea Province can deal with the mighty Governor Minius, and Hang Yu arriving at this time could potentially turn the tides with his strength.

Er Gou arrived together with Hang Yu.

The Dog is now a 16-level super Husky.

He advised, "Woof, this dog thinks it’s better not to step into this muddy water. This dog learned that the main army of West Sea City had been exhausted in previous battles, and much of the town has already been lost. With just this remaining group of humans and a few remaining broken cities, how can they possibly defeat a Governor’s Legion!"

What Dog said made sense.

The human legion was basically wiped out.

Thousands of humans holding a lonely city will soon be surrounded by a large army; under such circumstances, not even ten Hang Yu’s could reverse the war situation!

Er Gou continued, "It’s not about standing by and doing nothing, but there’s simply no way to save them. It’s better to persuade them to give up quickly, hide back in the real world for ten days or half a month, wait for the storm to pass, and then speak."

"You can’t think like this. Across the ten major regions of the Earth Dragon Realm, the overall level of people in the West Sea Province is noteworthy. We need this troop to fight against the Mad Dragon King, so we must find a way to save them!" Hang Yu said, "Let’s give it a try!"

Contact Chen Yu.

First, understand the specific situation.

Chen Yu and roughly five thousand humans are currently trapped in a small city called Black Reef City, with less than five thousand troops left in the city. Even relying on city defense cannot hold out for long.

Now preparing to attack Black Reef City.

Minius’s number one general, who is a Deputy City Lord-level figure.

He has just pacified two towns and is leading the Governor’s Legion, forcibly recruiting nearby Minor Lords to continue expanding the army. It’s estimated that within a day or two, they will launch a fierce attack on Black Reef City.

Minius didn’t personally take action.

However, there’s no suspense about the outcome!

The troops alone from Sea-viewing City numbered ten thousand elite soldiers.

With this force, plus the joint leadership of several Minius war generals, added to the expansion by Minor Lords, leveling a mere Black Reef City is hardly more challenging than toppling a sand castle.

Yes, Black Reef City, calling it a city, is actually not much bigger than a town.

This city is a territory on an isolated barren island, similar to Volcano City within the Red Mountains of the Desert Province, with limited potential and low defense and hence has a particular disparity in strength!

Even if Hang Yu wished to join the battle.

Facing the challenge head-on offers no hope whatsoever.

Unless other maneuvering methods are taken; for example—assassination!

This was the only plan Hang Yu could come up with, given the layout and situation of the West Sea Province.

Hang Yu said to the Husky beside him, "Let’s find a way to take out this Minius!"

Er Gou was startled, "Woof, boss, I didn’t hear you wrong, did I? You want to take out the West Sea Governor? How is that possible! It’s not that this dog doesn’t believe in the boss’s strength, but he’s the governor of a province, surrounded by experts!"

Hang Yu smiled and said, "Minius is indeed a Governor-level strongman, but now is when he is least prepared."

He shared the situation he had explored with the Dog.

"Minius didn’t take humans seriously at all, not even personally stepping forward to wipe out the humans, but instead dispatched over twenty thousand city and territorial troops, along with allied aborigines, to encircle and suppress humans."

Simply put.

Minius’s approach is much like Nazg’s.

The difference is that when Nazg went to Sand Spring City, he was personally involved, while Minius only dispatched a few deputies, plus several in-city experts, leaving himself in Sea-viewing City.

He really had no need to make a personal trip.

The West Sea humans don’t even have a main city, scattered across various regions are purely scattered sand, posing no threat whatsoever. Like a group of ants crushed at will, why use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken?

Because of this.

The Governor’s Sea-viewing City is currently experiencing a rare vacuum.

Most of the Governor’s main deputies and experts were dispatched to various places to clear humans; over ten thousand troops were withdrawn from the city, and the Governor himself could never possibly imagine that this weak group of humans would actually attempt assassination.

Minius would never have imagined.

There would be such a fellow among the humans.

Whose strength was entirely comparable to that of Governor-level strongmen.

Hang Yu said to the Dog, "Based on my preliminary understanding of the West Sea Province, the territory distribution in the West Sea Province is very loose; there are many independent territories, Earth Lords are scattered and hard to manage."

"Under such circumstances, as long as the Governor is completely taken out, the West Sea Province is bound to descend into chaos. The troops besieging the humans, for the safety of the main city or for their interests, are likely to call off the siege and return."

Er Gou nodded his dog head, "Woof, this dog understands, boss is using the strategy ’Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao’... but what if the outside troops don’t come back and still overrun the human towns?"

"You jinx!" Hang Yu glared at the Husky, "This is the only way, and the only feasible thing I could accomplish. As for what happens in the end, it’s out of my control; let’s leave it to fate!"

Man plans.

Heaven decides.

Hang Yu was uncertain if he could successfully take down the Governor; likewise, uncertain if the changes in the West Sea Province post the Governor’s demise would be as expected, but at this point, all he could do was try.

If successful.

Everyone will be delighted.

If unsuccessful, he tried his best, and can only blame Chen Yu and her team’s bad luck.

This act isn’t purely to aid the people of the West Sea Province; Hang Yu is worried that finding Relic City might be obstructed by local forces. Therefore, before taking action, stir the water up a bit to create a cover for himself.

Move forward at full speed.

After another half day or so.

Hang Yu arrived near Sea-viewing City and began infiltration.

For ordinary people, attempting infiltration into a Governor-occupied main city is easier said than done.

Such cities are protected by a full 360-degree barrier, with various warning mechanisms and anti-infiltration traps.

Cheeky Hang, however, was unconcerned.

He possessed spatial abilities and stealth ultimate techniques, daring to even venture into Mist Dragon City, and taking a bit of care now is no big deal!
