Chapter 113. The Alien Race’s 300,000-Strong Army is Ready

With the brief rebellion quelled, Lin Nuo began to walk out of the alley, appearing in front of everyone.

“Senior Brother!”

Seeing Lin Nuo emerge, Su Kexin ran over excitedly,

“Senior Brother, where have you been? I was so worried about you!”

“Just went for a stroll.”

Lin Nuo replied calmly, instinctively glancing around. A group of rebel soldiers had already been suppressed by the city guards, and several corpses remained on the ground.

“It seems this city isn’t very peaceful.”

Liu Shuqin said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Junior Brother, you came all this way and saw such a terrible scene.”

“No need to blame yourself. We didn’t come for a vacation; this situation is quite normal.”

Lin Nuo continued with a composed expression,

“The area is basically under control. We just need to hold out until the imperial reinforcements arrive, and you will achieve great merit.”

“I really haven’t done much.”

Liu Shuqin spoke with a hint of guilt,

“It was thanks to a master’s assistance; I merely came to clear up the remnants.”

Liu Shuqin was aware of her own strength and was frank, admitting that it wasn’t purely her credit for suppressing the rebels with her Liu family army. The main credit lay with that mysterious person.

Lin Nuo said, “The master likely helped for a reason, perhaps because of your virtue.”

“Junior Brother, do you know who it is? Or is it…”

“I just saw him leave, but I don’t know who he is.”

Lin Nuo interrupted Liu Shuqin. He had a hunch that Liu Shuqin might suspect him, but as long as he didn’t admit it, she couldn’t do anything.

The plan for rebellion in Wutu City had already been crushed in its infancy. Wutu City should have fallen, and Liu Shuqin should have had a hard battle, perhaps even dying, but he chose to change all that.

However, to make up for past regrets.

A regret of a once-powerless weakling.

He felt it was right, so he acted. Life is about reversing fate, changing not only his own but also that of others.

As long as she could survive, that was enough.

“Report, the alien army outside the city has begun to withdraw!”

The guard from the city gate hurried over to report the good news to Liu Shuqin and the others.

“That’s fantastic! With the alien army retreating, the pressure on Wutu City will be greatly reduced.”

The city lord couldn’t help but sigh. It was a tough time, and the alien army outside was restless. Their retreat was undoubtedly good news.

This was also in Lin Nuo’s expectations. Once the internal rebellion failed, the alien army outside would withdraw; otherwise, would they just wait to be cursed at by the people of Zu’an?

Besieging a city without success is extremely troublesome, especially since this time the aliens intended to achieve victory in one go, not planning for a prolonged battle. With the internal rebellion failing, they naturally retreated to support other areas.

“In that case, you all hold your ground well; the war will soon pass.”

Lin Nuo’s gaze shifted to Su Kexin,

“Junior Sister, let’s go to Hu City.”

“Ah, Senior Brother, we haven’t been here long; can’t we stay a little longer?”

“We didn’t come for travel; time is of the essence. Let’s go; Hu City still needs our support.”

Lin Nuo had calculated the time well. Now that the rebellion in Wutu City had calmed down, there were about five days left until the meteorite would fall, and even after reaching Hu City, they couldn’t immediately rush to the meteorite site. Judging by the current situation, Hu City was likely on the brink of falling, and the meteorite landing site was already occupied by the aliens.

He needed to help the garrison retrieve the site first, then let Su Kexin hold it down. When the “Heavenly Flame” meteorite lands, Su Kexin would simply be done for.

This plan was entirely feasible; considering Su Kexin’s sudden burst of power, she likely wouldn’t be able to withstand it!

Lin Nuo took Su Kexin and ran, both heading towards Hu City to confront the enemy.

Watching Lin Nuo and Su Kexin fly away on their swords, Liu Shuqin sighed deeply. Lin Nuo and Su Kexin had come to her hometown of Wutu City. Now that the internal strife had calmed, she wanted to show them her hometown; every hill and tree, the local customs and specialties, she wished to share with them.

But they hurried back and forth, with Su Kexin chatting a little, while Lin Nuo only exchanged a few words before parting ways.

She felt a gap between herself and him; this gap stemmed from their realms, as it seemed Lin Nuo’s realm was considerably higher than hers, and her perspective paled in comparison.

That mysterious person…

But, her Junior Brother shouldn’t be familiar with this place, right?

…

Three days later.

On the border battlefield, with sand swirling, several leaders in the alien camp were discussing their upcoming attack strategy.

“The ally from Wutu City, Ha Lu, has failed and died in his estate. The army of the Puhan Dynasty’s reinforcements has also arrived at Wutu City. We can’t launch another attack from Wutu City. I’ve ordered our troops to retreat and support the Great King.”

The general who had retreated from Wutu City reported to the alien army leader, Degu Luo.

“Report, Great King, our army is coming to support you. Please give the order!”

At that moment, another leader reported, having brought several tens of thousands of troops for reinforcement.

“Report, Great King, our allied army, the Helong Alliance, has dispatched experts to support us.”

A messenger arrived to deliver the report, and Degu Luo ordered them to be introduced. Two robust and fierce-looking men entered; one wielded a great sword, and the other a big axe, their faces extremely menacing.

The Helong Alliance was a fallen underworld organization, but recently, with the help of Xuanyun Sect’s Yu Zheng and Mu Yiting in stealing secret methods and various materials, it had risen again. To expand its power, it decided to assist the alien race in invading the Puhan Dynasty. Once chaos engulfed the world, the underworld’s Helong Alliance would profit from the situation.

“Great King, these two men are from the Helong Alliance to assist. The sword-wielder is called Chu Zun, and the axe-wielder is called Han Dong, along with their over ten thousand troops, to help you conquer Hu City!”

“I humbly follow the Great King to breach the city!” Chu Zun and Han Dong both bowed and saluted.

“Very good!”

Hearing their words, the alien king, Degu Luo, was especially delighted.

“With the Helong Alliance’s assistance, we will undoubtedly achieve twice the result with half the effort. The day before yesterday, our stronghold was attacked by the Puhan reinforcements, and we had no choice but to retreat. Now it’s great; we have gathered 300,000 troops, and we can definitely annihilate them in one stroke.”

“Great King, we’ve deduced that the attack on the stronghold the day before yesterday was a ruse set up by someone named Lin Nuo; it is advisable for the Great King to take it seriously.”

A minister advised Degu Luo, the alien army leader.

“I think we should split our forces to attack Hu City, with the main strength concentrated on retaking the stronghold first, then attacking Hu City, while other elites launch side attacks to take them down.”

“Then let’s divide our forces into two cavalry units, launching side attacks while the main army assaults from the front.”

Degu Luo laughed heartily, having gathered all his troops. Now they could directly attack, storming into the heart of the Puhan Dynasty, seizing power and vast lands for themselves.

“Come, everyone, let’s drink this toast, wishing us smooth sailing for the upcoming assault!”

The group raised their cups in cheers, pre-celebrating the success of their impending attack.
