818 Satellite City Battle (1/2)
Chapter 818 – Satellite City Battle
Jianye, Snow-War Rose Mercenary Group Headquarters.
Similar to Shanhai City, Jianye was in a holiday mood. During the Lantern Festival, Gaia also pushed out events to liven up the mood.
After all the festivities, not just the square, even the streets were littered with garbage.
Although there were no people on the streets, there were many lanterns leading the way. Ouyang Shuo and his men walked out of the teleportation formation and smoothly arrived at the base of Snow-War Rose Mercenary Group.
Three thousand odd men walked the streets, bringing with them large amounts of equipment. Despite their load, they travelled in total silence.
As tomorrow was the Satellite City battle, the Snow-War Rose Mercenary Group was in a tense mood. The moment Ouyang Shuo and his men arrived, they were seen by the guards who immediately reported their arrival.
When she saw Ouyang Shuo, Lin Jing was astonished, ”Little Shuo, it's so late, why are you here?”
Ouyang Shuo looked out at the streets and said quietly, ”Let's talk inside!” On the way here, he could feel that there were people monitoring the headquarters.
This served to further prove Ouyang Shuo's conjecture.
Noticing Ouyang Shuo's unusual expression, Lin Jing immediately knew the severity of the situation.
Entering the base, Lin Jing arranged for people to welcome the Divine Martial Guards and Personal Guards while she led Ouyang Shuo to the office. Xie Siyun also came after getting the news.
”Little Shuo what happened?” Lin Jing asked.
Ouyang Shuo did not know where to start. After all, Silver Hand going up against them was his personal conjecture, and he did not have any proof.
”You are all going to war tomorrow, so I brought a batch of equipment over.”
Lin Jing felt that something was up, ”Are you okay? Sending equipment so late at night?”
Xie Siyun smiled to dissolve the awkwardness, ”Where can we find such good stuff?”
”What equipment is there?” Lin Jing asked.
Ouyang Shuo said, ”100 Three-bowed arcuballistas, five thousand God-arm Crossbows.”
Lin Jing smiled too, ”Rich!”
It was not convenient for him to stay for too long, so he said directly, ”I received intel that in the battle tomorrow, people will target you. You must all be well prepared. The opponent is difficult, and they might be targeting me.”
Lin Jing and Xie Siyun exchanged glances, seeing the solemnness in the other's eyes.
Jokes were jokes but they were extremely clear that Ouyang Shuo was not a person who would randomly spout things. This late night visit definitely meant that things had reached a truly dangerous level.
To make the current Ouyang Shuo worry, how strong was the enemy?
Lin Jing nodded seriously, ”Ok, since it is not convenient for you to say it, I will not ask. With this batch of items, we have another layer of reserves. No matter what schemes they try, we will win.”
Ouyang Shuo got up, ”Then I'll take my leave.”
He had reminded them of what he could. What happened in the battle tomorrow would depend on the two of them.
The Battle of the Satellite Cities was one that Lords could not directly interfere in.
Leaving the equipment, Ouyang Shuo brought his men and hurried out of the camp.
...
In one of the small alleys, right next to the headquarters, stood two men dressed in black.
Seeing Ouyang Shuo walk out of the gates, one of them sad, ”That's right, it's Qiyue Wuyi. What is he doing here so late at night?”
”How would I know?” the other person said.
”Then did he find out about us?”
”That's not possible. Maybe what happened at Dali made him suspicious, so he wanted to remind them. Based on Di Chen's words, he is an old fox.”
”Then should we take the chance to take him out?”
”How? Can't you see that there are so many guards beside him? Even if we ambush them, we cannot keep them here. This person is really careful, coming out so late and still bringing so many guards.”
”What careful, he just does not have guts.”
”No matter what, let's just not alert him. Let's go!”
After a short while, the two of them disappeared into the darkness.

Gaia 4th year, 2nd month, 14th day.
9 AM, the nine imperial cities made an announcement at the same time.
”Imperial City Notification: to split up the players for the exploration of the mysterious underground world, a Satellite City will be released. Anyone who obtains the token and stabs it into the Lord's Manor meeting room will obtain the defending rights of the city. 24 hours later, the other guilds can attack the Satellite City. If one can defend the city for the 24 hours, they will obtain the permanent rights; if the guild destroys the stone steele, similarly, they will obtain permanent rights.”
