Chapter 1770: Pretending? We Actually Did It!
Sunken Dragon Pass.
In the midst of the celebration,
As Commander Lin's voice fell, fireworks erupted once again across the entire city, colorful flames bursting through the night sky.
Behind Commander Lin, Wu Quan slowly raised his palm, an intangible force of domination surging forth. In the next instant, the scattered fireworks streaked across the sky, forming the massive emblem of the Night Watch, filling the heavens above Sunken Dragon Pass.
This scene left the many Night Watch members present utterly stunned, momentarily lost for words.
"Next, Commander Lin will address everyone." The broadcast voice announced, followed by a wave of enthusiastic applause.
"Pretty elaborate setup." Kira couldn't help but冷笑. "Right now, Lord Ares and the others should be making their move... Soon they'll understand what it means to reap what they sow."
Commander Lin stood in the void, parting his lips to speak when a piercing alarm suddenly echoed throughout Sunken Dragon Pass!
Crimson lights flashed, and the fireworks overhead ceased abruptly. The Night Watch members exchanged confused glances, seemingly unaware of what had transpired.
A high-ranking official gently pressed his communicator, listened briefly, then swiftly moved to Commander Lin's side, whispering something. Commander Lin's expression changed dramatically!
"Cancel the celebration! All Night Watch, hold your positions!"
Commander Lin's low voice resounded through Sunken Dragon Pass. In the next moment, the numerous high-ranking Night Watch officials behind him, along with the Human Apex and human deities who had come to observe, simultaneously launched themselves skyward, transforming into arcs of light that streaked toward the northern and southern borders of Great Xia!
As these figures departed, the vast Sunken Dragon Pass was left with only a group of bewildered young Night Watch members staring at each other in confusion.
Turek couldn't help but laugh at the sight:
"As expected, this celebration was destined to end in chaos."
"Chaos? The look on that Commander Lin's face just now was absolutely priceless... It seems Lord Ares's operation is going quite smoothly!"
"These high-ranking officials have truly lost their minds. Everyone rushes off to support the southern and northern borders, leaving a bunch of wet-behind-the-ears children here... Isn't that just asking to die?"
Turek and Kira exchanged glances, both seeing the excitement and bloodlust in each other's eyes.
Since Lord Ares and the others were slaughtering civilians along both borders, they naturally couldn't just wait idly. There was still a group of Night Watch骨干 here—if they could massacre this place too, the Night Watch wouldn't just be wounded; they'd be crippled.
Bang! Bang!!
The two immediately abandoned their disguises, their Crimson Cloaks bursting into the air. They launched themselves forward like two savage beasts, charging in different directions!
Two Klein-level auras erupted violently!
Among the young Night Watch members in the venue, the highest realm was no more than Sea Realm. Before these two foreign divine proxies, they had absolutely no means of resistance.
Terrified screams erupted from the venue. The Night Watch members were momentarily paralyzed with fear, instinctively fleeing backward. It took them a moment to regain their composure and draw their Straight Blades to fight, but they couldn't withstand a single move, being cut down on the spot.
At the same time, aside from Kira and Turek, five more hidden foreign deity proxies appeared throughout the venue, grinning wickedly as they charged toward the weaker Night Watch members around them!
They were divine proxies from the [Hidden Gods] and [Divine Desire Paradise], unlike Kira and Turek who had missions to relay intelligence. They were here purely to gather intelligence. But now, seeing the Olympian Gods' plan working, they discarded their disguises as well, beginning this carnival of slaughter.
Streams of blood splashed through the venue,凄惨的嚎叫声此起彼伏. This lively festive celebration quickly transformed into a crimson sea.
This one-sided slaughter ignited the killing desire in their hearts. The more they killed, the more excited they became, unable to help but roar with laughter.
"Great Xia Night Watch! Nothing but a bunch of foolish, weak rats! Hahahaha..."
Before their words could even fade, the surrounding environment began to dissolve bit by bit.
The bloodstained earth vanished, the scattered bodies gradually became transparent. The festive venue that had been filled with stalls suddenly became堆满了一具具冰冷庞大的军械. In the empty, deserted Sunken Dragon Pass, these seven figures who had been chasing the air like madmen suddenly froze in place.
Brilliant fireworks continued to launch ceaselessly into the sky, their radiant light illuminating the clouds—the celebration seemed to continue unabated...
But the interior of Sunken Dragon Pass before their eyes had transformed completely, deathly silent and ice-cold, entirely different from the festive venue just moments ago.
In the air, only the lingering melody of instruments remained, floating faintly in their ears.
"Where did everyone go?"
Turek茫然地环顾四周. Besides the seven of them, not a single soul remained.
"There! There's one!" Kira exclaimed as if he'd discovered something, pointing toward a section of the wall.
On the high walls of Sunken Dragon Pass, the nine crosses bearing the corpses of the gods still stood. Where Commander Lin and the other high-ranking officials had been standing, a solitary figure stood proudly.
His black cloak billowed in the sea breeze. Before his lips, an ancient stone xun (clay flute) slowly lowered, and the melodious music ceased.
He slowly raised his hand to remove his hood, a mocking smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
"Hello there... guests from the Mist."
Turek stared at that familiar face, his pupils contracting sharply!!
"He's Great Xia's Mind God, Wu Tongxuan!!"
Upon hearing the name Wu Tongxuan, everyone's hearts shuddered.
Kira recalled the dreamlike scene from moments before, his expression阴沉. "Fake? Everything just now was just an illusion you created for us!?"
"That's right." Wu "Old Dog"... no, Hu Jia's lips curved slightly upward as he spread his hands. "It seems our guests had quite a blast... Although I could have silently killed you all within the mental world, it seems more entertaining to let you witness reality firsthand."
"That's impossible... When did you pull us into the illusion?!"
"The moment you approached Sunken Dragon Pass and heard my xun music."
"...So you knew all along?" Kira's eyes widened. "You designed this entire illusion just to trick me into passing along false intelligence? To lure the Olympian Gods into Great Xia?"
"Looks like you're not entirely stupid." Hu Jia shrugged.
Kira's face turned deathly pale. He knew their plan had completely failed... His gaze swept across this cold, deserted Sunken Dragon Pass as he苦涩地laughed, "To trick us into relaying intelligence, you actually went so far as to stage such a grand celebration... What an extravagant scheme."
Hearing these words, Hu Jia's brow rose slightly.
"Pretending? Who was pretending? We actually did it!"
All seven foreign deity proxies stood frozen in place.
At the same time,
Hundreds of miles from Sunken Dragon Pass on the sea, a ship packed with Night Watch members was silently sailing.
Over a hundred Night Watch members lay sprawled throughout the ship's cabins, as if in deep sleep. Cords of因果 (karmic threads) drifted from their bodies,汇聚向船头的方向...
There, dressed in logistics attire, Lin Qiye held the [Causeless Cause] aloft in one hand, letting out a leisurely yawn.
