Of course, assassination is just one of the means; the Commerce Alliance has devised more methods to deal with Ye Luo!
The power of the Commerce Alliance is far from being as simple as Ye Luo imagined.
Although Ye Luo had been causing a disturbance in the heart of the Commerce Alliance for so long, they could do nothing about him.
But that was because Ye Luo was just one of three people at the time, with too small a target, plus his whereabouts were uncertain, so it was impossible for the Commerce Alliance to grasp his exact movements.
But once they grasp Ye Luoâs exact movements, the Commerce Alliance will naturally not let Ye Luo off so easily.
It can be said that previously, Ye Luo was in the dark, and the enemy was in the light!
But now, Ye Luo is in the light, and the enemy is in the dark.
Such a small change, in fact, changes quite a lot!
"Your Highness, up ahead is Bowang City. Once we pass Bowang City, our army will officially enter the Southern Territory!"
A general introduced the situation to Ye Luo.
Ye Luo nodded: "Pass on the order for the army to garrison for a day in Bowang to have a good rest. Once we enter the Southern Territory, Iâm afraid there will inevitably be another bloody battle!"
With Ye Luoâs order, the Werewolf Tribe army quickly moved into Bowang City.
Bowang City is not a big city; of course, the Da Yue Empire doesnât have many big cities to begin with!
Although Bowang City is called a city, if it were in the Great Tang Empire, it would probably only be called a town!
Because, at its peak, the entire Bowang City had barely less than 100,000 population!
As for now, due to the war, only a few thousand people remain in the city!
As the Werewolf Tribe army marched in, they naturally attracted the attention of these citizens.
Ye Luo didnât pay much attention to that; as the army settled in, he walked out of the camp to understand the situation.
...
"Old man, you say the Southern Territory has already collapsed, is that true?"
Ye Luo looked in disbelief at the elder in front of him because this elder had just told Ye Luo something he was unwilling to believe.
The Southern Territory has actually fallen!
"Your Highness, how dare this commoner lie? Both of my sons have joined the army, and itâs my second son, a centurion, who brought back the news, urging me to leave quickly. But Iâm reluctant to leave my homeland, so Iâve stayed. Itâs said that only a few cities in the Southern Territory are still holding out, the army has long since collapsed..."
Ye Luo frowned slightly; this news could not be considered good!
Since Ye Luo had no source of information, he had no choice but to rely on rumors among the populace to get news about the battle situation in the Southern Territory.
If what this elder says is true, itâs feared that Ye Luoâs mere fifty thousand werewolves would not be able to reclaim the Southern Territory!
Of course, Ye Luo couldnât fully believe the elderâs words; after all, the elderâs information source was just a message from his son.
And his son was merely a centurion, so the information he knew was likely not extensive!
Suddenly, just as Ye Luo was talking with this elder, several bursts of killing intent startled Ye Luo!
Could it be assassins?
Ye Luo remained calm but exchanged a glance with Feng Ling.
Ye Luo had long suspected that the Commerce Alliance would send assassins against him; he just didnât expect them to act so quickly!
The Lingyun Sword suddenly appeared in Ye Luoâs sight, and Ye Luo vigilantly surveyed his surroundings.
Because this time, Ye Luo only came out to scout the situation, and since this was inland Da Yue Empire, Ye Luo had only brought four guards and Feng Ling, even Ao Long was resting in the barracks!
So Ye Luo had to treat the situation with caution because no one knew how many assassins were lurking!
Ye Luoâs behavior was naturally noticed by those assassins. They understood that Ye Luo was already on guard, so they hesitated no longer!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Hundreds of tiny lights shot towards Ye Luo, and Ye Luo had no hesitation, raising his Spirit Power Shield immediately!
However, what came as a surprise to Ye Luo was that his Spirit Power Shield couldnât block those attacks at all!
It turned out to have spirit-breaking effects!
Ye Luo was slightly taken aback, and the Lingyun Sword in his hand spun swiftly, directly blocking all the attacks!
But after Ye Luo blocked those attacks, he discovered that those lights were actually small snakes!
Snake People?
There are Snake People in the Da Yue Empire too; could it be that the Snake People Tribe intends to take action against Ye Luo?
"Kill!"
A fierce roar was heard, and over a hundred assassins charged out!
All of them were half-step Spirit Martial experts!
The Commerce Alliance had quietly arranged for over a hundred half-step Spirit Martial experts to assassinate Ye Luo?
These people must have been lurking in the Da Yue Empire long before; otherwise, they wouldnât have been able to be mobilized so quickly.
Keep in mind that Ye Luo is currently deep in the Da Yue Empire!
How could the assassins from outside move in so fast!
Snake People, they were indeed all Snake People.
Could it be that the Snake People have truly betrayed?
Or, has the Commerce Allianceâs Snake People infiltrated here at this moment?
Ye Luo didnât know; after all, in the current situation, there wasnât room for Ye Luo to theorize.
"Protect His Highness!"
The four Werewolf guards, despite knowing full well that the enemy was overwhelmingly strong for them to resist, still surrounded Ye Luo.
Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard!
Ye Luo could distinctly feel the vibration coming from underground!
Ye Luo didnât hesitate and immediately leapt into the air!
But the four guards didnât react as quickly!
Boom!
A terrifying giant snake burst from the ground, swallowing all four guards in one gulp!
This!
Oh my god, it was a giant serpent with a head almost the size of a house!
How did it manage to stealthily lurk over?
Or perhaps, it had already ambushed itself here, waiting for Ye Luo all along?
If thatâs really the case, then how did these assassins know that Ye Luo would stop here!
Ye Luo frowned, looking at the giant serpent in front of him, realizing that this time, a fierce battle would be inevitable!
This damn thing isnât just a snake!
Itâs clearly already a Jiao!
Once a giant snake reaches a certain level of cultivation, it can transform into a Jiao, and if a Jiao continues cultivating, it can become a Jiao Dragon!
As for a Jiao Dragon, once it transcends the heavenly tribulation, it can transform into a Dragon!
Moreover, only a giant serpent with a special bloodline is qualified to transform into a Jiao and then a Dragon!
Ye Luo felt his luck in life was a bit too good; unexpectedly, on his first assassination attempt, he encountered such a Jiao Snake with a special bloodline!
"Young Master, be careful!"
Feng Lingâs figure appeared accompanied by a loud noise, already arriving behind Ye Luo!
A resounding crash was heard as Feng Ling blocked an attack for Ye Luo.
Ye Luo turned and saw behind him, silently, stood a person with a bizarre appearance!
Their nose was very long and pointed, but that wasnât the key, the key was, they had no hands, only a pair of wings!
