CapĂtulo 1308: Chapter 1309: Infiltrating the Rear Lines (First Update)
The City Lord was stunned after hearing Lin Qianâs words.
Indeed, he had no understanding of the existence of this Human Clan before him.
In fact, in the past, he couldnât even imagine that the natives of the Nine Heavens would have the ability to invade their main base.
This was something he never dared to think about before, yet it was happening now.
The Human Clan before him exuded an aura of oppression that rendered him immobile, as if an exalted sovereign looking down upon a tiny ant.
The fully armed golden-armored guards beside him made him even more fearful, standing calmly yet insurmountably like high walls.
âIn this world, no one understands me either.â Lin Qian said, shaking his head slowly.
Who could know how deep his trump card was, and who could understand the profound heritage of the Huaxia Empire?
âI reckon, because you couldnât imagine I would attack you here, you havenât sworn a heart devil vow.â Lin Qian said, suddenly raising a book and asked, âTell me, how many tribes of the Netherworld Clan are left in these Nine Heavens, and where are they in the other Small Worlds?â
The City Lord smiled, looking at Lin Qian: âDonât underestimate our Eight-Eyed God Clan people.â
As soon as he finished speaking, the City Lordâs pupils dimmed, and he collapsed to the ground, dead.
He killed himself, destroying his soul to avoid revealing any information.
âGutsy, I wonder if the Eight-Eyed God Clan elsewhere is as gutsy.â Lin Qian stood up, gathering all the books in the study into the Xuanhuan Star for the Heavenly Art Department to research.
The contents detailed in these books were all related to the Eight-Eyed God Clan, intricately linked to the cityâs affairs as he was the City Lord.
To defeat the enemy, one must understand everything, leaving no detail unchecked.
Lin Qian rose and walked out of the City Lord Mansion.
The City Lord Mansion was situated atop a low hill in the center of the city, from which one could easily overlook the surroundings.
At this moment, inside the city of the Eight-Eyed God Clan, the battles had ceased, although many places were in ruins, with collapsed and dilapidated buildings.
However, not a single trace of blood or corpses remained in the city; everything had been thoroughly cleaned.
Throughout the entire city, only soldiers of the Huaxia Empire moved about, with not a single Eight-Eyed God Clan member surviving, leaving neither chickens nor dogs.
There was no mercy in the war against the Eight-Eyed God Clan, only life and death.
Lin Qian clearly understood this and would not relent.
âOriginally, I thought of sneaking in, biding my time to better understand the situation first.â Thinking of this, Lin Qian shook his head inwardly, âI didnât expect to have to act immediately upon arrival.â
Reflecting on this, Lin Qian could only feel helpless, his luck seemingly too poor.
In the city, the army of the Huaxia Empire was organizing the spoils of war.
There was considerable wealth to enrich the treasury of the Huaxia Empire, and Lin Qian had to manage it well to avoid wasting any resource.
As his army carried out their tasks, Lin Qian contacted Wei Ziliang.
At a mental command, a tactical map appeared before Lin Qian, showing Wei Ziliangâs position.
Currently, any living unit of the Huaxia Empire could be displayed on the tactical map, allowing clear visibility.
Seeing the situation on the map, Wei Ziliang was evidently far away and on the move.
With a flicker in his heart, Lin Qianâs voice emerged in Wei Ziliangâs mind.
âWei Ziliang, where are you now?â The voice from Lin Qian suddenly echoed in his mind, though Wei Ziliang wasnât surprised, having grown completely accustomed to Lin Qianâs various miraculous abilities.
Hearing Lin Qianâs voice in his mind, Wei Ziliang stopped his travel, standing within a forest: âYoung Master, I am in a forest. According to your instructions, I have been moving southward.â
Lin Qian remained silent for a moment before abruptly asking, âWhat place did you end up in after entering this Small World?â
âIt was a dense forest, and not within the area of the Eight-Eyed God Clan.â Wei Ziliang replied, then suddenly curious, âYoung Master, after you entered this Small WorldâŠâ
âOn a bustling street of an Eight-Eyed God Clan city, there was no choice but to act immediately and destroy the whole city.â Lin Qian said, frowning, âBad luck indeed, I wonder if the situation here will alert the other Eight-Eyed God Clan cities in this Small World.â
On the other side, Wei Ziliang was also at a loss for words, unsure how to describe Lin Qianâs misfortune.
From his observations and experiences, he could tell this Small World was at least a large Small World.
Based on the concentration of Spiritual Energy, one could infer this, as well as from the hardness of the earth and the grade of Spirit Wood species.
For a large Small World, the territory is vast, some presenting as a magnificent landmass whose size rivals that of a Boundary.
However, this similarity in size only refers to the landmass size of a large Small World, equivalent to the sum of stars in a Boundary, not comparing to the entire scope of the Void.
Fortunately, Lin Qian and Wei Ziliang entered this Small World almost simultaneously, so the difference in the portal space fluctuation they encountered was not significant, and their distances were not very far.
After confirming the distance was not so extreme, Lin Qian ordered Wei Ziliang to quickly make his way to join him.
Receiving the order, Wei Ziliang nodded and swiftly moved according to Lin Qianâs direction.
Meanwhile, back in Lin Qianâs city, Ghost Shadow and Qing Yue were sent out in all directions to explore the surrounding terrain.
Despite Lin Qianâs tactical map being able to show Wei Ziliangâs location, the entire map was still shrouded in darkness and unclear.
It was only by sending his subordinates out to explore that Lin Qian could then see detailed terrain and conditions on the tactical map.
Otherwise, he could only see his own units and the vague darkness on the map.
Expanding the perception range of the tactical map through exploration was very necessary.
At the same time, Lin Qian could also detect any movements of the enemy.
If their actions hadnât yet been noticed by the other side, wouldnât that be ideal?
After all, the battle here ended very quickly; the Eight-Eyed God Clan in the city probably didnât have time to react and relay information.
Half a month later, Wei Ziliang successfully reunited with Lin Qian.
At the same time, Ghost Shadow had successfully infiltrated other Eight-Eyed God Clan cities to gather intelligence.
