"Attack!"
Almost instantaneously, everyone made a decision.
...
Xia Dating, is an alien dragon shrimp.
As the leader of the Fish Wine Cityâs army, his Divine Techniques allow him to listen to the ripples of waterâs vibrations, sensing distant images and sounds.
At this moment, this General Xiatou is leading a group of troops, striding up the mountain.
He feels somewhat lucky:
"This time, my abilities have proven themselves again!"
Were it not for his skill in perceiving images through waterâs vibration feedback, he would have seen the intelligence in advance.
The culprits are another group of Bone Demons; he would likely have been ambushed by those Bone Demons disguised as the original Bone Demon bandits of the stronghold, only to be attacked by these guys!
However, after avoiding this tribulation, he glanced at the ground full of corpses, and his heart couldnât help but sink.
Where did this group of Bone Demon forces come from?
Three Three Elements Realm elders, two Three Elements Powerhouses, wiped out so quickly; his heart shivered with fear, and he already had the intention to retreat.
Perhaps he wasnât here to support but to deliver himself to death.
These murderers occupied the victimâs house, pretending to be the owners, so he might as well go along with the plan and take the opportunity to leave.
He displayed a mild expression, looking at the Bone Demon Child on the mountain, clasped his fists towards the mountain, and said, "Are you having an internal conflict among your clan?"
Cultivation is not about fighting and killing.
Itâs about filling oneâs pockets and interpersonal relationships.
As a cunning demon, unlike other brutes, he is intelligent.
I pretend not to see you.
After all, without the Divine Techniques of eavesdropping, I indeed didnât know you were fake.
Everyone benefits from harmony.
Instantly, whispers spread through the crowd:
"He has lines."
"Finally, someone has lines."
"Exactly."
...
A Bone Demon Child, trembling and revealing a timid and simple gaze, came rolling and crawling: "Yes! Sir, we had an internal conflict but we will still offer tributes."
"Very good," General Xiatou said, "You handle the corpses first; next monthâs tributes remain the same."
They acted quite well.
If he hadnât known they were indeed the culprits in advance, he might have been fooled.
"Rest assured, sir," several little blacksmiths hurriedly said, showing a flattering look.
General Xiatou nodded, "After I leave, bring the main force from the city... everyone lives for the wealth from harmony."
At that time, regardless of whether you fight back or flee, this General will not be held accountable and can display anger at being cunningly deceived by thieves!
Ultimately, this avoids our current combat.
After all, although heâs greedy, he does not want to risk his life.
This Bone Demon Stronghold, despite being their cityâs black glove, has long been displeasing to him.
But as he listens to distant sounds, his face gradually turns red.
"Does he have lines next?"
"I donât know."
"Wait for him to speak; when the boss finishes deceiving us with lines, we start fighting."
"Exactly, fill in the lines of the Bone Demon Commander, those boss lines were all on this character."
"Bring a few more newbies who can act, go up, act sycophantic and beady-eyed like lickspittles."
"Indeed, as we all have to act in the future, now is a good time to practice the role."
...
Listening to whisperings from afar, General Xiatou fell silent.
He sensed a certain madness in the conversations, making him feel inexplicably creepy.
"Wa wa wa."
Several blacksmiths fell to the ground, hugged his thighs, crying with snot and tears, "Sir, sir, we just had an internal fight, suffered big losses; next monthâs tribute may not be achievable."
"Sir, we beg you," a blacksmith howled, "We will actively rob, and oppress the cityâs citizens in future."
Again, General Xiatou fell silent, goosebumps surfaced, and his body shivered with cold.
He forced himself to remain calm, "Everyone, your clanâs internal conflict, I will truthfully report it, I shall take my leave!"
He turned around to leave, but then he saw several Little Bone Demon Children surging forward, revealing maniacal and excited bloodthirsty smiles:
"Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahahahaha!!! The bossâs lines are finally delivered!!"
"Attack!"
