Chapter 482: The Operation Began, the Trap Was Beheaded
In one night, Serene Spring City and Devil Flame City had sent out countless scouts to investigate the roads leading to the nearby cities.
It was not until daybreak that the scouts gathered all the information and reported them to their respective city lords. The two city lords immediately used their own methods to report the situation to Vincent.
In the study of the City Lord’s residence, Vincent sat in front of his desk and looked at the detailed information that Kurt had personally summarized for him. He nodded and sighed. “Five armies from different places have already appeared in the vicinity of Devil Flame City. Four of them have already been identified, and they are all personally led by the City Lord Three armies have appeared in the vicinity of Serene Spring City. Their identities have been confirmed. They are led by the City Lord or the general of the city that they belong to! Ramirez was able to trick eight cities into sending out troops in such a short period of time. It seems that I have underestimated his control over the Dark Elves!”
Kurt, who was standing respectfully by the side, said seriously, “But even if the demons are ambitious, they cannot escape Sir Vincent’s scheme! The plan you made yesterday was very brilliant. Once it is implemented, it will definitely resolve the current conflict!”
Vincent nodded and said, “You don’t have to participate in tonight’s operation. Go and call Monica and Melissa for me!”
“Yes!”
Kurt nodded, turned around, and walked out of the study.
Not long after that, Melissa and Monica arrived one after another. The only thing that made Vincent surprised was that Sophia was still following behind Melissa.
The shackles on Sophia’s feet had been removed, leaving only the iron chains that were locked tightly on her wrists. She was no longer as restricted and could move around freely to a certain extent.
After seeing Vincent’s gaze, Melissa quickly explained, “Master, don’t misunderstand. I removed the shackles on her feet to make it convenient for me to bring her around the city. I’ll put them back on her after the inspection is completed!”
Vincent shook his head and said, “There’s no need to explain it to me. You have the final say in all the administrative matters in Serene Spring City! You must remember that you are the City Lord of all the residents in Serene Spring City. You are the City Lord from the Carter family. You do not represent me. You just have to do what you think is right!”
Melissa quickly nodded and straightened her body. She turned her head to look at Sophia proudly. At that moment, Sophia was like a lazy lady playing with a pet cat. She looked at Melissa very lazily and smiled at her.
Vincent naturally took all of this seriously, but he did not care. He just continued to look at the information on the table.
Monica, who was standing opposite Melissa and Sophia, coughed a little awkwardly and said, “The temple in Serene Spring City has started construction. I have also re-selected a part of the clergy and handed over the complete doctrine to them. I believe that before the temple is built, all believers will be able to learn the complete doctrine and become pure believers of fire!”
Melissa finally came back to her senses after listening to Monica. She nodded and said, “Thank you! Now it is time for me to fulfill my promise. From today on, you are not only the High Priest of Devil Flame City but also the High Priest of Serene Spring City. Everything in the temple is under your control. The sacrificial ceremony that requires the City Lord to attend every year will also be presided over by you. At that time, Dave and I will also listen to your orders!”
Monica said nervously in a low voice, “I wouldn’t dare. Everything I do is for Vincent!”
Vincent suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two women, “Alright, let’s get down to business!”
He said in a deep voice, “Now that all the information has been gathered, it’s time for us to respond! Tonight, we will take the initiative to attack and take down all the city lords or generals who came with their armies. We will also let Ramirez, who is hiding in the Imperial City, know that as long as I am here, his schemes will never succeed!”
When Melissa and Monica heard this, they could not help but reveal excited and expectant expressions.
Melissa said very happily, “We will act tonight? That’s great! We will be able to witness master’s powerful means again!”
Monica said with some worry, “I’m afraid that I will drag everyone down. Why don’t we call for more helpers from Devil Flame City?”
Vincent shook his head and said very decisively, “This time, Devil Flame City will face a crisis that far surpasses that of Serene Spring City. Hence, we won’t be able to mobilize manpower from there. However, you don’t have to worry. Now that you’ve mastered the power of modification, not only will you be able to protect yourself but you’ll definitely be able to help!”
Monica listened to Vincent’s approval and was greatly encouraged. She nodded and said, “I’ll definitely complete the task that you’ve given me!”
Vincent stood up and placed his hands on the desk. He said in a deep voice, “Alright, I have already asked Kurt to tell the elves in Devil Flame City to start moving. The two of you should hurry and get ready. As long as the sky turns dark tonight, it will be time to move before sunrise tomorrow morning!”
Monica and Melissa responded in unison, “Yes!”
After Vincent waved his hand, Monica and Melissa immediately turned around and left the study. They rushed straight out of the city.
Before the sky turned dark, Melissa and Monica had each arrived at a military camp built deep in the mountains and forests. They took advantage of the evening skies and quietly opened the space door. They then walked toward the center of the camp in the parallel space.
The camp that Melissa was currently in was the camp belonging to the troops of Extreme Demon City that was near Serene Spring City and the one leading the troops this time was the City Lord of the Extreme Demon City, Mcgee!
At that moment, Mcgee was eating barbecue in his own tent. He did not notice Melissa who had walked into his tent quietly. She was standing in front of him, sizing him up from head to toe in the parallel space.
Melissa sighed in excitement, “Master said that before dawn is the time to act, so we can start now!”
She could not wait to open the space door. She reached out her hands to grab Mcgee. She was ready to drag him into the space tunnel.
“Who’s there?”
At the same time, Mcgee put down the roast meat in his hands vigilantly. He raised his head and glared in front of him. He looked at the pair of arms stretching out from within the void. The hands grabbed Mcgee’s wrist and wanted to drag Mcgee into the illusory door.
Melissa realized that she had been careless. Mcgee was City Lord. He had to have at least the strength of a level 40 creature. He was far from an existence that she could contend against!
Her sudden attack had failed and she was restrained instead. Melissa could not help but panic for a moment. In a moment of desperation, she could only pull back her free arm and pull out the Devil Dragon’s Spine from her waist.
The Devil Dragon’s Spine, which was like a soft whip, transformed into a straight longsword. She then slashed directly at Mcgee’s wrist.
Mcgee was unable to estimate the opponent’s strength at that moment but he knew that the Devil Dragon’s Spine was once a weapon that belonged to the apostles. Therefore, he did not dare to be careless and chose to let go of Melissa’s wrist.
After escaping successfully, Melissa did not dare to stay any longer. She did not believe that she could harm Mcgee with the Devil Dragon’s Spine. She quickly retreated and even forgot to close the space door.
She only wanted to stay away from Mcgee’s tent and come up with a long-term plan. Otherwise, she would fail the mission given to her by her master.
Mcgee stood up with an angry expression. He looked at the arms that were withdrawing rapidly back into the space door along with the Devil Dragon’s Spine. He suddenly realized that the strength of the other party might be much lower than he had expected. That was why the other party did not dare to confront him directly. As the other party was already thinking of retreating, it was the best time for him to take the initiative to attack!
“If you dare to use such a dirty trick to sneak attack me, don’t even think about escaping today!” shouted Mcgee.
He then took a step forward and entered the space door.
Melissa, who was retreating quickly, widened her eyes in disbelief. She did not expect such an unexpected surprise!
As long as Mcgee entered the space tunnel, regardless of whether he was active or passive, the plan would be considered a success!
“The space door is closed!”
At that moment, Melissa finally calmed down. Her first reaction was to close the space door behind Mcgee. She then stood on the spot, looking very nervous and wary of Mcgee.
After Mcgee noticed the movement behind him, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at Melissa. He snorted coldly and said, “Do you think that you can defeat me by locking me here? With your strength, no matter where you are, you are no match for me!”
Melissa said nervously, “First of all, I want to emphasize something to you. I have never thought of defeating you. My mission today is to invite you here! I don’t know what to do after that!”
Mcgee frowned slightly because he did not understand what Melissa meant. However, he had a vague feeling that Melissa might not be the only one in this mysterious space!
At the same time, in the study room of Serene Spring City, Vincent put down the documents in his hand and raised his head to look at the sky that had completely darkened. He then took out the Lingluo Race’s tunnel token and gently drew it in front of him. The moment he arrived at the door, it opened abruptly.
Behind this door was the eternal space tunnel that the Lingluo Race had used to open for countless years!
After Vincent walked into the tunnel, he saw that the spider webs and cocoons that the ancient Zerg had left behind were still intact. Under the dark night, the entire tunnel could not help but look a little eerie.
However, Vincent did not care about it. He raised the tunnel token and poured psionic power into it.
Soon, a light screen appeared on the tunnel token.
The light screen showed a clear, straight main road surrounded by gray fog. Not far away, there were two glittering spots of light, one of which was emitting green light, and the other was an eye-catching red light.
The tunnel token could control all the movements in the parallel space-time. The straight main road symbolized the eternal space tunnel, and the fog around it symbolized the area where modification authority could be used to open up a temporary tunnel.
The two spots of light represented the individuals in the parallel space-time. The green indicated that the individual could enter and exit freely, while the red indicated that the other party did not have the ability to enter and exit the parallel space freely.
Vincent wanted to use this parallel space-time to solve the problem at hand!
“Space jump!” whispered Vincent.
However, his position did not change at all.
On the other hand, Mcgee who was in front of Melissa had suddenly disappeared.
