322: Return in time

An hour later, Qin Shilei and Luo Xiangyun returned to the city Lord’s Mansion.

This time, they had killed the leaders of eight factions who had not sent anyone to attend the grand ceremony.

There were also thirteen faction leaders who had just happened to watch Luo Xiangyun’s live broadcast, and when Qin Shilei arrived, they immediately knelt and begged for mercy.

Qin Shilei gave them a slight punishment and then spared them.

In addition, there were three factions that had already fled Aya City with their entire groups.

Qin Shilei merely left a message: "They are not allowed to step into Aya City again."

These factions all had over two thousand people.

As for the smaller factions, Qin Shilei didn't care whether they had sent anyone to attend the grand ceremony.

Looking at the murderous Qin Shilei, Timos and the others felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles, fearing that he would summon a furious lightning bolt to blast them into ashes if he was displeased.

"Hmph," Qin Shilei said coldly, "As long as you can defeat me, we will hand over the position of city Lord.

If anything happens to city Lord Shen, I will make all of you be buried with her."

Timos and the others’ faces all changed dramatically, their mouths half-open, wanting to retort, but facing Qin Shilei’s icy eyes, they could only swallow the words on their lips.

Qin Shilei suddenly seemed to remember something and looked up to ask Timos, "Where did your other army of a hundred thousand people go?"

Timos’s eyes darted around, and he replied nonchalantly, "Perhaps they were sent out by the city Lord to search for supplies. I’m not entirely sure about the specific situation."

"Really?"

"Absolutely true, I truly don't know."

Qin Shilei’s eyes suddenly turned a brilliant purple.

He asked again, "Where did your other army go?"

Timos replied blankly, "Our people discovered that Great Xia Country also has a walled city near the border, and there are few people inside.

city Lord Eugene then sent the Third Army to attack that city.

They should have already arrived at that city by now."

"Damn it!"

Qin Shilei’s expression changed slightly, and in a fit of rage, he immediately drew his sword and split Timos in half.

The faces of the surrounding India people changed again, and they turned to flee into the distance.

"Stop!" Qin Shilei said coldly, "Anyone who takes another step dies!"

Those people had no choice but to stop abruptly.

"Mr. Qin, Timos was the one who lied to you; it has nothing to do with us at all," several of Timos’s subordinates quickly spoke up, shifting responsibility.

"Hmph, trying to lie in front of me, he was courting death. I hope you all take this as a warning."

Qin Shilei waved his hand, as if shooing away flies, and said, "Get out!"

Xu Jun, who was standing by, stepped forward and said in a panic, "city Lord, let's hurry back immediately. If we're late, something unexpected might happen."

Xinluo City, apart from the Longhu Battle Group led by Xu Jun, also had a small number of Evolutionaries who went out to kill mutated beasts nearby, totaling only twenty to thirty thousand people.

Now, Xu Jun was not in Xinluo City.

If those India people accidentally attacked Xinluo City, the Great Xia people inside would probably suffer terribly.

"Yes, let's go back immediately."

Qin Shilei turned and took out a Telepathic Talisman, handing it to Shen Feixue, "They shouldn't provoke you for a short period, but you must also remain vigilant.

If you encounter any insoluble problems, you can contact me through the Telepathic Talisman. Take care!"

After speaking, he lifted Xu Jun, jumped onto Xiaoqiang's back, and flew back to Xinluo City at high speed.

In a small town thirty to forty kilometers outside Xinluo City.

The hundred thousand Evolutionaries sent out by Eugene were currently stationed in the town.

There were also hundreds of discarded corpses along both sides of the town's roads.

These people were Evolutionaries who had come out of Xinluo City to kill mutated beasts, but they had unfortunately encountered the India army and were killed.

"General, the city ahead has its gates tightly shut, and there are about ten thousand troops stationed inside," a scout walked into the temporary command post to report.

"Good, continue to send people to keep an eye on it."

Carol turned and instructed, "The Second Army will send three hundred elites, disguised, to accompany those ten Great Xia people to trick open the city gate.

The First Army will follow up quickly; after the city gate is tricked open, you must seize it.

The rest of the soldiers, listen to my command: kill into the city, annihilate all Great Xia people, and uphold the might of India!"

Everyone in the command post echoed, "Annihilate all Great Xia people, uphold the might of India!"

A small convoy immediately left the town and headed towards Xinluo City, with the mighty hundred-thousand-strong India main force not far behind them.

In less than half an hour, the three hundred and ten people finally arrived at Xinluo City's West Gate.

Several traitors stepped forward and shouted loudly towards the city wall, "Officers above, we are refugees from Baoshan city; please open the city gate and let us in."

The gate official took out his binoculars and carefully observed the people below.

He found that they were indeed his compatriots.

As for the India people, they were all wearing helmets, so nothing could be seen.

The gate official, suspecting nothing, ordered the city gate to be opened.

These three hundred and ten people had just passed through the city gate and entered Xinluo City.

Suddenly, a series of roaring car engines came from the distance, and countless trucks were speeding towards them.

The gate official picked up his binoculars again and looked towards the convoy.

He found that the drivers had the appearance of 'Ah San Ge' (a derogatory term for Indians).

He immediately shouted, "Alert! Sound the alarm! Close the city gate!"

As the alarm sounded, screams also erupted from below the city gate.

The gate official was startled and leaned over to look below the city gate, only to find that the group of people he had just let in had already killed the compatriots who opened the gate.

They were now holding the city gate, waiting for the India people outside the city to enter.

The gate official looked up again towards outside the city and found that the India people were only one to two hundred meters away from the city gate, while the Evolutionaries coming to reinforce from inside the city would take at least several minutes to reach the city gate.

This was bad!

Guilt, regret, and anger instantly filled the gate official's chest.

"Get down there and kill these damn traitors!"

The gate official roared, leading the small squad on the city wall to charge down towards the city gate.

They were only seventy to eighty people, and facing the three hundred hand-picked elites of India, despite fighting desperately, it was futile.

After eliminating twenty to thirty of the enemy, they all gloriously sacrificed themselves.

By this time, the main India force outside the city had already reached the city gate and completely controlled it.

A continuous stream of India people began to enter Xinluo City through the city gate.

"Haha, this city is ours!"

"Kill, kill all Great Xia men, rob all Great Xia women!"

"Despicable Great Xia people, if you know what's good for you, kneel and beg for mercy!"

"Long live India! We will make the India flag fly over the entire Great Xia Country!"

As the India people cheered madly, the reinforcing Great Xia people from the distance finally arrived late.

A fierce battle was about to erupt.

Both sides attacked desperately.

However, most of the powerful Evolutionaries in Xinluo City had gone out hunting, and the strength of the remaining Evolutionaries was generally average.

And their numbers were far inferior to the enemy's.

As soon as the battle began, Xinluo City was forced to retreat steadily, and casualties were continuously increasing.

"Haha, you scums, how can you resist our brave India people? Just surrender obediently!"

Carol stood on a high place, laughing triumphantly.

"Whoosh!"

A clear eagle cry suddenly came from afar.

"It's the city Lord's pet."

"Heaven help us, the city Lord is finally back, our Xinluo City is saved!"

"Everyone hold on, the city Lord is back to save us!"

The Xinluo City Evolutionaries, who were being pushed back steadily, suddenly felt an invisible surge of power, staunchly blocking the enemy's offensive.
