How can there be such a strong superpower?

They come out because of the unknown.

And the reason I feel uneasy at this moment is also because of the unknown.

ground.

Anna looked at the three silent priests, her face pale and her mind blank.

Her mind is like a mess now.

All kinds of messy thoughts kept popping up and disappeared in a flash.

And the only thing she could confirm now was—

Things are going to change...

at the same time.

High in the mountains.

Zhou Jian held a telescope, watching the scene in the distance, and suddenly whispered, "Sure enough... No matter who it is, as long as they have witnessed such an attack, they will be terrified. Even if we no longer have such weapons, they will still feel fear."

"..."

Chen Lusi didn't have a telescope, and it was a bit difficult for him to see with just his eyes. So when he heard Zhou Jian's words, he probably guessed that the matter had been resolved, so he withdrew his gaze.

He slowly stood up, then reached out to untie the ponytail at the back of his head, pinched his wet long hair, and looked up at the sky.

The heavy clouds in the sky seemed to be dispersing.

It's going to clear up.

……

Four hours later.

Headquarters of Tiance Mansion.

Ji Xin held the laptop computer in his hands, lowered his head and quietly looked at the briefing on it. His expression did not change much, except that his movements would occasionally pause.

The two tall golden retrievers didn't dare to disturb her. They lay beside the wheelchair and rubbed her ankles with their heads from time to time.

She spent quite a bit of time reading the briefing word for word, and finally fixed her gaze on the paragraph describing Chen Lusi, falling silent.

Shan Li, who was standing behind Ji Xin, also saw the report.

But her reaction was a little bigger than Ji Xin's. As she read, her proud breasts kept rising and falling with greater and greater amplitude.

At the end, she, who was usually taciturn, even spoke up and whispered the name of the most dazzling person in the report.

"Chen Lusi..."

"..."

When Ji Xin heard Shan Li's voice, he came to his senses and slowly closed his notebook.

When the two golden retrievers saw this scene, they seemed to know that Ji Xin was done with her work, and they immediately stood up from the ground, then looked at her and wagged their tails desperately.

But Ji Xin ignored his dog. Instead, he tilted his head slightly and suddenly asked, "Shan Li, do you think this can scare those old guys?"

Shan Li was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "Yes...if what's said in the report is true, it's completely possible."

"..."

Ji Xin reached out and gently stroked the golden-haired animal's head. For the first time, an expression appeared on her cold little face: "I think so too."

Shan Li looked at Ji Xin's profile and was a little surprised.

"The weapon he's holding obviously can't be called 'cutting edge'... maybe change the name from now on."

Ji Xin kneaded the dog's head and continued, "Let's call it 'Heavenly Punishment' from now on. Then, have Luo Shan from Kunlun come over. We need to make him a weapon tailor-made for him, one that won't break down so quickly... Also, there are some things Luo Shan should definitely know."

Shan Li nodded gently: "Yeah."

"But not before that."

Ji Xin looked ahead and said softly, "Let's spread this news first. I guess a lot of people are waiting anxiously."

At the northernmost tip of the country, everything has settled.

Li Zheng began to send people to clean up the mess.

And at the same time.

domestic.

In the large group of Tiance Mansion.

The topic we started yesterday is not over yet...

I am a mortal: [Brothers, is there any news from the north?]

Feng Qingxue: [Yes, are there any brothers from the north? Can you tell me what's going on?]

Chong Chong Chong: [Are you crazy? Even if you know something like this, you can't tell me...]

Feng Qingxue: [We are not forbidden from discussing this now, so it should be okay, right?]

Jiu Meng Shi Ci: [I think no news is the best news. If there really is any news, or if they urgently summon others to support us, that would be a big problem! It's good that everything is calm now! Who knows, the 'first rider' position might have been taken away! [Happy]]

Green Lantern Night Wanderer: [What the hell! Do you really think this is a joke? It's only been a short time, and you're already saying it. That's the infamous 'First Rider'! How could he be eliminated in just a day and a half? Even if that mysterious master who killed Yan Kan went with them, it wouldn't be that fast! Can you think before you speak?!]

Jiumengshici: […Qingdeng Yeyou, which team are you from anyway? Why do you like to argue so much? I just mentioned a possibility, and you jumped out? What do you mean? Do you want to challenge me? Yesterday I sent you a message and you argued with me, and now I send you a message and you're arguing with me too. What's wrong? Can't I just speak up? Is it wrong for me to trust my colleagues? If you like to argue so much, why don't you find a single-player group?]

Green Lantern Night Tour: [Telling the truth is a problem? Asking you to think before you speak is a problem? I'm not saying that you're wrong to trust your colleagues, but why don't you take a look at what you've been saying these past two days? Something like, 'There's a man named Chen Lusi... How did Feng Zhen die? Have you forgotten? And what happened in the Ape Realm? There's definitely no problem if he goes with you', 'It's good that everything is calm now! Maybe the 'First Rider' position has already been lifted up! [Delighted]'

Are you even thinking about what you're saying? Is it even possible to think with your ass? I'm reminding you that Chen Lusi can't control the outcome of this battle! This incident can't be resolved so quickly! Are you being unreasonable?

Jiumengshici: [Isn't this a fight??? I just expressed my hope! And you just spew a bunch of nonsense! If I get my period and complain about a headache, are you going to come over and tell me I farted? Pull out a few papers to tell me that periods can't cause headaches!?]

Green Lantern Night Wanderer: [I don't want to argue with you. I'm just expressing my thoughts based on a normal person's judgment and pointing out your mistakes.]

Shaking his head and crying: [Fight, fight! Just don't give me up if you get caught! I'm willing to be a witness!]

Just the Rain: [Wuhu~ Let's fight! Private duels are not recommended, but you can submit a sparring request.]

Jiang Yingchenfu: [What are you doing...? You're so energetic, why don't you go help out up north? Or you can come help me, there are so many legendaries activated in Jinling lately.]

Lone Star: [What are you arguing about? I have a headache.]

Yekongzhong: [Just a reminder to you two, just keep arguing, don't get too excited and start a fight. If you get caught, you'll be sent to the security forces for reform. Don't ask me how I know this.]

Jiumengshici: [@青灯夜游, you claim to be a normal person, but the truth is that I am not a normal person, right? ]

Green Lantern Night Wanderer: [Excuse me for being blunt... you're not. I don't think a normal person would say something like that. You're brainless.]

Jiu Meng Shi Ci: […Send me the address! ]

The whole group suddenly started quarreling.

Seeing the smell of gunpowder getting stronger and stronger.

Someone wants to give some advice.

But just then...

The administrator 'Want an obedient dog' suddenly appeared, and then all members received a message.

...New group announcement.

The title of the announcement is quite eye-catching - 'Regarding the results of the handling of the 'First Rider' impacting the boundary line'.

This group of announcements just popped up.

The entire group fell silent in an instant.

Everyone who was watching the group clicked on the announcement immediately after seeing the title.

The announcement was not long... only a few hundred words, but everyone who read it was stunned after seeing the first sentence.

[Special operation successful, the 'First Rider' has been eliminated.]

[The first knight leader, Jeffrey, was killed on the spot.]

[The first knight leader, Hamiti, was killed on the spot.]

[Other important members were killed on the spot.]

[Jinling Changsun Cang, traitor, killed on the spot.]

[There were no casualties on our side.]

Two individuals made outstanding contributions: Chen Lusi and Li Zheng.

【…】

The announcement is really simple.

There are almost no details.

But those rows of people being killed on the spot were more impactful than any details...especially when the names of Jinling and Changsun Cang were added, it was even more impactful.

This is in stark contrast to the final result of no casualties...

Everyone who saw the announcement was a little stunned.

...Is it really solved?

Or zero casualties?

And what does this list of outstanding contributions mean? Li Zheng was the leader, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this operation was actually a prestige exercise for the garrison, so it wasn't surprising that Li Zheng's name appeared on it.

But there is only one name at the end: Chen Lusi... What does it mean?

Didn’t the others contribute anything? Did he alone praise all those people above him?

Not so! ?

Everyone was a little confused.

The large group also fell silent.

The first person to react was the member with the ID 'Jiu Meng Shi Ci'.

Perhaps he was worried about it, and as soon as he came to his senses, he immediately sent a message.

@青灯夜游, come on, normal person, please share your opinion based on your normal judgment.

【Qingdeng Yeyou withdrew a message.】

The message about Jiu Meng Shi Ci has just been sent out.

A prompt popped up...

And this seems to be a signal.

soon.

The whole group exploded.

“!!! Is this true?!”

"They set off yesterday and issued a notice today... Are the security forces that strong?!"

"I feel like we are just trash now..."

"The first knight position... I remember the hiring price on the black market was quite high, right?"

"Seventh highest, this is currently the only Empowerer mercenary organization that doesn't clearly enjoy 'support' yet manages to climb into the top ten despite charging fees. Otherwise, why do you think they dared to attack the northern border? And even managed to escape with only a dozen or so bodies left behind?

Now that the announcement has been made, there's probably no need to keep it secret anymore. I'll just be honest. I was part of the support team during the recent attack on the north. Their advanced weaponry was truly off-putting! It was stronger than anything I'd ever seen. They didn't want to engage us, so they sniped us from a distance, which was incredibly troublesome.

And I suspect they have more powerful "cutting-edge" weapons, because they were obviously just trying to harass us at the time, so I have no idea...how the garrison managed to resolve the battle so quickly this time.

Because given the guards' cautious nature... they definitely wouldn't have gone out to die in the dark last night. The most likely scenario is that they set out that morning, so they wouldn't have been there all day! How on earth did they manage to eliminate the First Rider in such a short time? The First Rider was really outmatched and was just sniping from a distance. How did the guards handle that?"

"...The mysterious master who killed Yan Kan in Jiangchang City has taken action?"

"I don't know. What I'm more concerned about is the name specifically mentioned in the announcement... If it was really that mysterious master with the blurred face who took action, then why did they specifically mention Chen Lusi's name? He must have done something! But what exactly he did, I guess only those who were there know."
