Chu Bai took a sip of tea.
Then, he looked at the city lord and asked, "There are so many soldiers in the city lord's mansion. Can't they solve this problem?"
The city lord shook his head and said, "There are actually not that many soldiers in the city lord's mansion. This matter needs to be resolved, but… We definitely can't suffer too great of a loss! Black Wind Mountain is also a stronghold that has existed for many years. Black Wind Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we really attack head-on, the losses will be unimaginable."
Chu Bai nodded.
"Then what do you need me to do? Destroy Black Wind Mountain?"
"No, you can't! Of course not!"
The city lord shook his head.
"This matter is difficult for all of my guards to do. How can I let you do it alone? I'm currently thinking of a way, but now, Tianhua City has a batch of resources ready to be transported to Zhongjiang City. I've sent some guards to escort them, but I'm still worried that there might be some accidents, so I hope that Brother Bai Ye can follow along."
[Ding. You've triggered the mission—Escort Resources. Mission reward: unknown. Mission punishment: none. Do you accept?]
"No problem." Chu Bai nodded.
"That's great! Set off immediately. After this matter is completed, go to Zhongjiang City and meet up with the city lord there. He'll definitely reward you. When you return, you have to be careful. Black Wind Mountain might have people watching nearby at all times. If they see our Tianhua City's Gold Guards escorting you, they won't attack. But if you're alone, it'll be very dangerous."
"No problem." Chu Bai nodded.
"Sorry for the trouble!"
"You're too polite, City Lord. By the way, do you know about the Heavenly Dragon Army?"
Chu Bai asked.
"Of course, I know. The Heavenly Dragon Army is a famous army in the Kamikaze Empire. The Heavenly Dragon Army has a long history, about 10,000 years. Why are you asking this?"
Chu Bai raised his eyebrows.
He had a Heavenly Dragon Token which could summon the Heavenly Dragon Army.
He did not expect the Heavenly Dragon Army to still exist after so many years.
"I just want to ask where the Heavenly Dragon Army is based."
"The Heavenly Dragon Army is located in the main city, Holy Wind City, and the surrounding cities. Of course, our Tianhua City also has a Heavenly Dragon Army, but there are only a dozen soldiers."
"I see."
Actually, Chu Bai only needed to know that the Heavenly Dragon Army still existed.
That also meant that this Heavenly Dragon Token still had an effect.
"Then I'll take my leave first. I'll bring your men to Zhongjiang City now."
"Good! They'll listen to your instructions. The supplies are ready, and you can set off immediately."
"Good!"
Then, Chu Bai walked out with the city lord.
Outside, a group of more than ten people was waiting.
They were escorting three carriages of supplies.
"This is Young Master Bai Ye. He'll be the leader of this trip. If there's anything, listen to his advice. Remember, your mission is to safely transport this batch of materials to Zhongjiang City and bring them to the city lord of Zhongjiang City. You have to ensure your own safety. Other matters have nothing to do with you, do you understand?"
"Yes!"
More than ten Gold Guards shouted in unison.
"Let's go!"
Following the city lord's order, Chu Bai led the twelve Gold Guards out of the city.
This trip was estimated to take five hours, which was not considered long.
Chu Bai felt that the reward for the mission might be quite a lot.
However, Chu Bai would not be that happy if it was just a gold-grade weapon.
Even so, he felt that it would be a gold-grade weapon.
After all, gold-grade equipment was still quite precious to current players.
However, Chu Bai did not like it.
Forget it, he would just treat it as leaving a good impression on the city lord.
Moreover, he did not know what he would encounter along the way.
What if this mission was not as simple as he thought?
Chu Bai and the others left the city.
In the dark, a few players from Feng Ling Dynasty were staring at Chu Bai's back.
"Guild Leader, Bai Ye has left the city."
A player secretly contacted Feng Ling.
"He left the city?"
Feng Ling muttered to himself.
In that case, the Heavenly Fire Sect should be about to make a move, right?
After all, he had received news that the people from the Heavenly Fire Sect had already been arranged to be stationed inside and outside Tianhua City. They were also secretly watching Bai Ye.
Once he left the city, they would find an opportunity to make a move.
"Don't alert the enemy. There's no need to follow."
...
Feng Ling said.
"Yes!"
Feng Ling was afraid that anyone who followed would be discovered by Bai Ye, so he would definitely be cautious!
If anything went wrong, it was very likely that the Heavenly Fire Sect's operation would fail!
The Heavenly Fire Sect did not have that much time to help him with this matter.
"Bai Ye!"
Feng Ling's eyes narrowed.
"I don't believe you can survive this time!"
Feng Ling clenched his fists tightly!
Bai Ye could definitely resurrect.
However, it did not matter. As long as he killed him once, his powerful equipment would drop!
...
Once he killed Bai Ye once, it would be easier to kill him again later on.
…
On the other hand.
Chu Bai led the team to the outskirts of a forest.
This was a small forest, and it was a road on the outskirts of the forest!
This was the only way to Zhongjiang City!
As this was the only way to get there, it would take a few hours!
If they did not take this path, they would have to walk for a day!
Moreover, this place was relatively safer. The forest would be full of monsters. Not only would the journey be long, but it would also be dangerous.
"Lord Bai Ye, this is the territory of Black Wind Mountain."
A Gold Guard walked to Chu Bai's side and said.
"It's okay. Just keep walking! As long as it's not a large group of bandits coming out together, there shouldn't be any problems. Moreover, they'll have to consider whether they should attack when they see that you're all Gold Guards."
"Understood!"
Then, they continued to move forward.
In the bushes not far away, there were a few mountain bandits in plain clothes.
"Third Leader, there are people coming."
A mountain bandit ran over and said.
"Good! Brothers, get ready!"
The third leader shouted softly!
"But Third Leader, the identity of the people who are here this time might be special."
"Oh?"
The Third Leader raised his eyebrows and asked, "How is it special?"
"It's very likely that they're from the empire. I saw more than ten Gold Guards escorting the supplies. Third Leader, should we attack or not?"
"People from the empire…"
The third leader hesitated for a moment.
Logically speaking, it was indeed better not to provoke the people of the empire.
If the people had nothing to do with the empire, they might not attract too much attention no matter how many people they killed. However, once they robbed the empire's resources, things might really get worse!
However…
"What are you afraid of? Now that the Great Master has become so powerful, so what if they're from the empire? Could it be that the empire will send troops to encircle and suppress us? The resources of the empire are definitely abundant. Listen to my orders and gather our brothers here. When they arrive, tell them to attack immediately when they hear the eagle whistle!"
"Yes!"
Not far away…
A few people were hiding in the trees.
