64: Action Begins

For the next two days, the random teleportation remained unreliable.

The Vanguard Team sent out all returned without success.

This made Ye Chen even more anxious.

After several days, the development of the Abyss was basically stagnant, and it urgently needed a grand invasion to accelerate its progress.

The only thing that comforted him was that there were already over six thousand Little Devils in the Abyss, not far from forming an Abyssal Army.

He wondered when the magnificent sight of the Endless Abyss simultaneously conquering myriad worlds would appear.

At this moment, Lorraine also anxiously awaited the desired result.

Two Sky Knights, escorting an envoy from the Sari Kingdom, flew through the air and landed outside Kain City, then walked into the city.

Led by the envoy, they walked directly towards the tavern where Lorraine was staying.

In the tavern's first-floor hall, Lily and the previously missing team member were listlessly staring at the tavern entrance.

When the three entered the tavern, the team member's eyes lit up upon seeing the Sari envoy.

He nudged Lily, who was about to fall asleep, with his elbow and subtly indicated with his chin to look towards the entrance.

Lily's spirits lifted, and she looked at the three approaching them, realizing these were the people the Commander was waiting for.

She motioned for the three to follow, and they quickly ascended to the second floor.

Inside Lorraine's room, the envoy introduced their identities to a few people.

The two Sky Knights were the Roman Empire's national treasures and the top powerhouses on the entire continent.

Their strength corresponded precisely to the power of Transcendent Fifth Rank!

Lorraine was delighted; with these two, the main characters of her play were finally complete.

According to them, ten Earth Knights and a thousand-strong Great Knight team were following behind them and would arrive in the next two days.

This was already the Roman Empire's strongest unit.

Lorraine shook her head, refusing to wait.

"This time, I merely wish to ask the two of you to deal with the Vanguard of the Abyss; your presence alone is sufficient."

"The Lord of the Abyss has been urging me to prepare for the invasion of this world; waiting any longer might cause complications."

"Without further ado, we shall act tonight! At that time, you will do this..."

As evening approached, Lorraine, accompanied by several attendants, arrived at the Vanguard's temporary camp outside the city and issued orders.

"The Lord of the Abyss issued an order two days ago, instructing us to find an opportunity to cause a disturbance within Kain City to attract the attention of the city's defenders."

"When the time is ripe, the Abyss's teleportation gate will open directly within the city, and the Abyssal Army will arrive instantly."

"Tonight, we will infiltrate the South City Gate and attack the defenders there, drawing the City Guard to reinforce the South City Gate."

"Thereafter, the Abyss teleportation gate will open in the city center, and at that time, Lord Demonic Dragon will personally conquer this city."

A Shadow Assassin, who had previously investigated the city's defenses, asked in confusion:

"According to the intelligence we gathered before, the strongest native residents in the city are only Rank Two; why would Lord Demonic Dragon need to act? A few of us could take Kain City."

Lorraine's face darkened, and she sternly rebuked:

"Fool! Do you truly believe Kain City's strength is so weak?"

"In the past few days, a few of us, disguised, secretly investigated the strength of the powerhouses within the city and discovered that there are Rank Five powerhouses stationed there."

"Rank Five? Impossible! We investigated carefully; even Rank Three..."

The Shadow Assassin quickly denied it, but Lorraine directly interrupted his subsequent words.

"The intelligence we painstakingly gathered, could it be to deceive you?"

"In any case, we will act tonight; whether it's true or false, we'll know after a test."

Lorraine made the final decision, and the Shadow Assassin did not retort again, as she was, after all, the Commander of the Vanguard Team.

The Rank Three Blood Bat Commander, however, took a deep, thoughtful look at Lorraine.

As night deepened, Lorraine led a few individuals directly to the South City Gate.

Several guards at the city gate had already been killed by the Shadow Assassin, and control of the city gate had been seized.

"Screech——"

The heavily aged and decaying city gate let out a piercing screech, attracting the attention of the defenders on the city wall.

"Who's there!"

The defenders heard the sound of the city gate opening and quickly peered down, only then discovering the corpses on the ground.

"Alert! Assassins!"

The city wall immediately fell into chaos, and moments later, the crisp sound of gongs echoed throughout the entire South City District.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Large numbers of City Guards immediately poured out of the City Guard Station and rushed towards the South City Gate.

The two armored City Guard Commanders at the very front even rose directly into the air and flew towards the South City Gate.

In just a moment, the two commanders arrived at the South Gate, and one of them roared:

"Who dares to trespass upon my Kain City, you insignificant wretch! Everyone hold steady, reinforcements will arrive shortly!"

With that, the two, without waiting for the City Guards behind them to catch up, directly charged into the Vanguard Team and began slaughtering.

Lorraine,
