My Doomsday Territory

Chapter 445: Reconnaissance Mission

They got the lumberyard map from the mission entrusted to them, and with the “Scouting Eagle”, they probably knew the distribution of the people inside.

“…… Unfortunately, we have too few assassin-class hunters, or else we can directly sneak into to engage in assassination.”

Xiao Qingsheng decided to just face them head-on after decreasing their number by sniping them from afar, a simple but effective plan, divided into several ways to surround the lumberyard and ambush their enemies.

After explaining his plan, Xiao Qingsheng looked at the others.

The leader of the Purple Mountain Adventure Group nodded to show his approval, others, some expressionless… The Yongan mercenary group, the weakest bunch of them all, seemed nervous and scared, but Xiao Qingsheng couldn’t care less about them as long as they didn’t mess the plan up.

His gaze finally fell on a staff-wielding old man.

The “Blazing Raven Warlock” Liu Tianming.

In the joint team, there were four Ninth-level Hunters. Two of them were on the Warhammer, one was Purple Mountain, and the last was this lone wolf.

His name was famous even amongst the ninth-level hunters, consisting of top-level experts and elders known throughout Luoxia.

Liu Tianming slowly nodded his head.

“Understood!”

……

The lumberyard.

The warriors of “Heavenly Wolf Palace” were not careless. They kept their eyes glued on the walls and the sentry tower, vigilantly observing the surroundings, occasionally one or two demonic beasts came close and immediately shot.

Suddenly, a faint cracking sound came from the air. A warrior of the “Heavenly Wolf Palace” turned his head alertly. Black dots in the line of sight enlarged, inscribed with armor-breaking runes and wind runes of the feather arrow, shot through his pupil and went straight through the back of his head, bringing up a canopy of blood. The warrior of the “Heavenly Wolf Palace” Warrior fell on his back.

Similar scenes happened around the lumberyard in several corners.

A total of six archers reloaded their bow from their quivers and pulled the string of their bows …… their first series of attacks relied on a sneak attack, six rounds of arrows, and none of them fell short.

“The rune of wind is really good, not only improves the speed of the arrow, more importantly, it makes the enemy difficult to detect us. This method is the best for a sneak attack. If I kill more people and this mission is completed, I might become a 5-star in no time.”

In the distance, the “Heavenly Wolf Palace” warriors have noticed the assault. They took cover to hide from the unknown archers, which prompted the archer to find a new angle, either by adjusting their position or moving closer.

Meanwhile,

Adventurers of the warrior-class and assassin-class had all rushed forward.

An assassin stepped on the wall and silently appeared behind the warrior of “Heavenly Wolf Palace”, the dagger in his hand was like a butterfly through a flower, nimbly slitting his throat. The other hand skilfully covered the opponent’s mouth and slowly put the corpse down ……

Then the assassin flew out of the shadows, danced with his two daggers in his hand, poking several holes on his enemies without any sound.

In less than two minutes, this side of battle came to an end.

In addition to the captives, other enemies were killed quietly.

However, perhaps it was because he was accustomed to fighting against demonic beasts. He developed a habit of killing indiscriminately, and he almost killed the remaining three captives. Fortunately, he retracted his attack at the last second and only injured the captive, leaving several enemies half-dead.

“How about you go and catch some more? Be sure to control yourself this time.”

“No, our assassination attempt ended here. They are coming, and there are many of them. Get ready!”

A perception system ability person spoke up, and others soon noticed that countless powerful auras surrounded them from all sides.

……

Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Bullets flew, hitting the defensive walls.

Sparks flew.

The adventurers, mercenaries, also took out their guns to counterattack. However, the “Heavenly Wolf Palace” warrior at the front held their giant shields in front of their bodies, slowly advanced, and the bullets struck the shields, splashing and bouncing away, leaving not even a trace.

“That must be a rune shield, and it’s made of high-grade materials, damn, this group of Sakura Kingdom people, where did they get the materials and technology!”

A Yongan mercenary spoke in exasperation.

The enemy was stronger than expected, and they were exceedingly well-equipped. Their situation was not good, and the Yongan mercenaries complained about the plan.

At this moment,

WHOOSH!

A feathered arrow shot out, a flash in the air, a bang sound came from the distance, the heavy giant shield was shot through a hole the size of a ping pong ball, and the remaining momentum did not diminish. It shot straight through the rear warriors.

The warriors of “Heavenly Wolf Palace” were so shocked that they had to start moving in a snakeskin position, but the arrows coming from the wall were still like maggots that were hard to shake off.

Battle Skill: “Precision Shot”!

Battle Technique: “Multiple Arrows”!

Battle Skill: “Arcing Arrow”!

The archers showed their true power at this moment, and the Yongan mercenaries who shrunk and dodged aside, occasionally strafing with their rifles, their eyes were straightened. A glimmer of hope filled their eyes.

Do their bow and arrow also come with a tracking function?

The “Heavenly Wolf Palace” warriors were even more desperate and accelerated their advance, and soon the distance between them and the city wall was less than two hundred meters.

“It’s my turn to make a move, don’t forget to reimburse me, chief.”

The adventurer with a rifle suddenly took out a machine gun with a hideous-looking painted flame pattern color from his tiny backpack, as well as a bullet box at least half a cubic meter in size. He opened the safety pins and pulled the trigger.

The tongues of fire spewed out. Any bullets that touched the enemies hitting the ground exploded into flames, like a highly explosive grenade.

This machine gun was like an RPG with a rate of fire of thousands …… one person and a machine gun effectively suppressed the enemy.

This was the charm of the gunner class. Rune firearms, rune bullets, with the corresponding battle skills, could easily tear through any battle formation.

It was an OP class belonging to the rich people.

Rune arrows cost a lot, but compared to the bullets that were consumed like water, arrows, at least after the battle, can be picked up and continued to be used …… and it was a more friendly occupation for civilian hunters.

But a large mercenary group such as Warhammer and Purple Mountain should be able to afford the cost of those rune bullets.

In the territorial investigation corps, a gunner detachment was set up specifically for fire suppression and long-range strikes. And with the increase in the number of abilities in the territory, Tang Yu also began to have the intention of creating a mage corps.

……

Long-range suppression, after all, could not last.

Under the charge of the warriors of the “Heavenly Wolf Palace,” regardless of the cost, soon, a melee fight began.

Xiao Qingsheng, with his fighter-class, jumped down from the city wall, and his “heavy sword” swept across the battlefield, blasting away several enemies.

This group of “Heavenly Wolf Palace” Hunters were elites, close to one-third of the thousands of Hunters, crossed into the Body Shaping Realm, not bad on the Awakening level, and much more in number.

The mercenaries of Yongan could only struggle to hold out their ranks.

However, the adventurers of Luoxia, who were even better equipped and had mastered three or four battle techniques/spells, seemed to be a match for the advancing “Heavenly Wolf Palace”.

On the one hand, Tang Yu’s price was not high. As long as the adventurer’s star rating reaches the standard, he could basically afford it, unlike other places, where there was no channel to learn. But, as long as it is public knowledge, there must be piracy, and Tang Yu couldn’t prevent adventurers from spreading it privately.

However, knowledge such as combat skills and training methods is high-end, and it is spread privately, but it is not as good as genuine learning. After purchasing combat skills or training methods, adventurers could enter the spiritual space, simulate and purchase the person’s body from the space. To demonstrate their combat skills and then spar with each other.

It could be the most intuitive and comprehensive learning, allowing buyers to acquire combat skills in the shortest time.

However, it was not necessary to teach them in private. Many adventurers have mastery of combat skills, but there were very few truly proficient people. How could they teach combat skills to others?

Therefore, after Tang Yu lowered the price of combat skills, the practice method was even more so.

The biggest consequence of inadequate combat skills and learning skills, imparting to others, was that the teaching was nondescript—at least there are no side effects.

The cultivation method is about the fundamentals. Once the practice is not proper, it is likely to cause side effects such as stagnation of qi and blood, the disorder of source power, and so on.

Cultivation needs to be cautious.

Tang Yu taught the practice method privately and finally got this problem…this happened in the territory. With the spread of some negative textbooks, it gradually disappeared from some people’s desire to learn without Kryptonite Crystal.

……

BOOM!

“Blazing Raven Warlock!!”

Liu Tianming controlled seven or eight crows made of flames to emerge around him, whoosh, flew around, blowing away several “Heavenly Wolf Palace” warriors.

Suddenly, he felt his ankle was grabbed. He looked down and saw the hunters who should’ve been dead grabbed his feet, their tattered face and mouth splashing blood on the white snow, their mouth open to bite down their target.

A flame fluttered and blew the dead body completely to pieces.

Liu Tianming looked around and saw many tattered corpses staggering to stand up. Their movements were still a little sluggish, but soon, it burst out not inferior to the power and speed of the living, extremely difficult to deal with.

The bones in their body could even be extracted and turned into sharp weapons.

There were several adventurers on their side, just without defense, seriously injured and killed.

Xiao Qingsheng leaned over him and said, “We must kill that person first!”

Liu Tianming did not move to glance at the distance. He nodded slightly.

Soon, Xiao Qingsheng joined hands with the other two and broke out towards the distance, followed by Liu Tianming. The four of them were like a flatboat in the ever-tumbling waves, in danger of capsizing at any moment.

“This is it! Look at my combination spell.”

Liu Tianming raised his staff, his hunter natural ability “Blazing Raven” instantly coalesced. A dozen fire crows flew out in mid-air, gradually converged and fused; the fireball rapidly increased in size, immediately turned into another move, “Fireball”.

When the huge fireball came down, “Shadowy Skeleton,” Kawada Seiichi’s face suddenly changed, and countless white bones shot out from the ground, forming a bone cage in front of him.

BOOM!

The blazing fire exploded, the bone cage shattered, and Kawada Seiichi’s only remaining hair was burned away, his face scorched black, and he fled into the distance in a hurry.

……

Xiao Qingsheng and several people did not chase after him, and a moment later, they escaped from the encirclement of the “Heavenly Wolf Palace” warriors.

Everyone suffered injuries, and several adventurers died. But the enemy behind them, still chasing closely.

“Those sakura kingdom people are so strong.”

“Are you trying to say that they came from the Sakura Kingdom?!”

“It’s not impossible. The secret realm can connect people from all over the world. The demonic beasts still come from the other world. People from the Sakura Kingdom came to Daxia, and it’s nothing surprising.”

“So what now? Will the mission still be continued?”

Although they were in a mess, their mission was not to kill their enemies.

The task of “scouting the enemy situation in White Tree Heights” was mostly accomplished. However, Xiao Qingsheng thought about it and then said, “You guys go first! I’ll draw them away. I have the scrolls, and I can get out at any time.”

Xiao Qingsheng blocked the enemy for a moment, and instead of fleeing in the direction of the Yongan Shelter, he bypassed the “White Tree Heights” and rushed towards the sea.

He wanted to lure away the enemy and intended to continue scouting the enemy and prove his suspicions.

Beside him, there was also “Blazing Raven Warlock” Liu Tianming …… Both of them were ninth-level experts, and they ran fast and distanced themselves from the pursuit of “Heavenly Wolf Palace”.

The two darted for hours.

The two people gradually approached the shoreline. They saw ranks of Sakura Kingdom reserved armies stationed around the coastline. Xiao Qingsheng’s eyes turned bright. They continued to rush towards the coast.

The two people did not know how long the battle lasted earlier, Xiao Qingsheng had been covered in blood, and Liu Tianming’s source power was almost gone. He gulped several bottles of source power potion, which made his face turn blue.

Careless, Xiao Qingsheng rushed too fast. Deep into the heavy siege, he glanced out of the corner of the eye and saw a man dressed as a ninja with a ninth-level aura suddenly appear behind Liu Tianming. He could not help but shout, “Watch out!”

Liu Tianming suddenly turned around and slammed his staff onto the ninja.

The ninja’s head burst open like a watermelon.

The corner of Xiao Qingsheng’s mouth twitched slightly. He recognized that move, stick-like combat technique “head blow”, he could not help but be speechless and also relieved.

In a rush to kill, two people were getting more and more injured, but they were finally out of the woods before their eyes were several huge ships, quietly moored in the sea. Under the ship, countless small people were like ants, walking back and forth carrying supplies.

They also saw a simple camp.

Xiao Qingsheng gulped, “We seem to have found valuable information ……”

The two were planning to get a little closer when suddenly, their hearts seemed to stop abruptly for a beat, and a strong sense of crisis enveloped them.

A man holding a blood-red blade, with great speed, crossed from a distance. The blade aura seems to cut their cheeks.

The man’s face was expressionless, but both of them knew… He was furious.
