"Have they left the city?" Isaac, sitting cross-legged, couldn't help but open his eyes, a slight smile appearing on his lips. "Good, you should bring the Dark Guards over as well, and also send news about the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to the young masters of those few families in the suburbs. Let them prepare too."
"Remember! The task of taking down those young masters must be done cleanly!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Mans bowed and left the room.
As Mans left the room, four fully armed captains of the Dark Guards approached him.
"How did it go? What did the Gang Leader say?" asked the lead middle-aged, imposing man in B1 Level Battle Armor, who had only one ear, in a low voice.
"It's confirmed that the people from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall have left. It's now up to you," Mans looked at the middle-aged, imposing man in the lead. "If you can't secretly eliminate those young masters, the Gang Leader's grand plan will come to nothing."
"Don't worry, those leading young masters this time, each and every one of them, we will eliminate them all, ensuring the Gang Leader's plan is completed, thoroughly putting those clans at odds with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall!" The middle-aged, imposing man's eyes were filled with fervor and madness as he spoke.
"Good! Cut off your wings and change into those silver-gray clothes," Mans nodded, his eyes also brimming with excitement.
What the outside world knows is just that their White Feather Gang wants to take revenge on the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, spreading information about Black Obsidian's various gains and even planning to take action against them.
But in reality, their initial target was never the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. Instead, they intended to use the hall as a means to control the resources of those few Feather Race families in the suburbs.
They have thoroughly investigated the strength of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, even knowing that the person spreading news about Black Obsidian's possession of treasures in Chasing Light City is the eldest son of the Los Clan, Moke.
Moreover, not only do they know about Moke's defeat at the hands of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall in Azure Sky, but they also know of some of Black Obsidian's astonishing performances there.
When they learned about the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's performances in Azure Sky in detail, they were truly shocked.
No one expected the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to be this powerful.
The Gray Demon of Azure Sky!
With the strength of a single entity, they broke through the blockade set by multiple major forces of three cities. Such strength that even made the White Feather Gang feel apprehensive.
However, because of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's strength, it's given the White Feather Gang the opportunity to seize the resources of those few clans.
Those few Feather Race families in the suburbs, the White Feather Gang had also done plenty of secret business with them before, knowing many of their secrets. However, those families were too strong, beyond the current White Feather Gang's reach.
But if this time they can get the people from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to eliminate the young masters from those families, it will lead to an eternal feud between those families and Black Obsidian, weakening both sides. Thus, the White Feather Gang will not only have the chance for revenge but also acquire the resources from those families, a perfect double-edged plan.
Therefore, to ensure that the people from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall eliminate those young masters, and thoroughly oppose those families, they need to take action themselves.
"Captain Mans, we are ready," the one-eared, imposing leader stepped forward and said.
Mans glanced at the forty Dark Guards wearing silver-gray long-sleeved T-shirts and nodded.
"Good! Let's move out!"
In terms of appearance, the Feather Race and Human Race are actually quite similar, with the Feather Race having one pair of wings more. If the wings are cut off and they wear the attire of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to take down those young masters, no one will suspect that the Black Obsidian is not behind it, especially amidst the chaos of battle.
According to their calculations, this battle is expected to be indecisive, as the combined strength of several families is no less than the standing army of Azure Sky. Amid such an evenly matched battle, they can easily fish in troubled waters.
And by the end of it all, only the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall themselves would know it, and even if Black Obsidian later tries to explain to those families, it would be futile, forcing them to take the brunt and clash to the death with those families.
In a valley more than eighty kilometers from Chasing Light City.
At this moment, a group of Forest Race men and women, wearing deep black trench coats, equipped with Level A5 or above armor, and beast-like furry ears on their heads, indistinguishable from the Human Race in appearance, were swiftly retreating out of the valley.
With expressions of fear and confusion on their faces as they retreated.
"Insane! Absolutely insane! Is Chasing Light City really going to start a war with our Star Tower City? To send so many people!" shouted a seductive brown-haired Forest Race woman in Level A6 battle armor while running, glancing back at the large group stationed by both sides of the valley. "We've only hijacked a few supply convoys, do they really need to be this serious?"
"Boss Rosa, could it be that you cut off those guys' roots last time, provoking the suburban families of Chasing Light City to send people over?" said a nervous young Forest Race man following behind. "Those people seemed extraordinary, dressed very well. They might be offspring of those suburban families in Chasing Light City."
"Offspring of suburban families?" The Forest Race woman named Rosalina's face darkened, then she said fiercely, "Dared to taunt me before, and now they sent so many over. If I encounter them again, I'll definitely cut out another kidney for compensation!"
Rosalina, as the Deputy Gang Leader of the Six Forest Gang, ranked in the top ten among the wilderness gangs outside Star Tower City, was a legendary woman well-known in the outskirts of Star Tower City.
At a young age, she became a Martial Artist before the age of twenty-four, a genius beauty among the wilderness gangs of Star Tower City, with no outside forces daring to disrespect her.
But today, Rosalina was genuinely frightened.
Over a thousand people!
Each and every one at least an advanced apprentice, with nearly half as quasi-martial artists, and all those quasi-martial artists are wearing A6-level battle armor. The leaders even wear B Level battle armor.
Such a setup is comparable to the large-scale confrontations between major suburban factions.
And these people suddenly appeared near the valley, precisely in the activity area of their Six Forest Gang. It's hard for her to believe they aren't targeting her.
So, the moment Rosalina discovered these people, she dashed away as fast as a rabbit spotting a hawk, faster even than her peak speed, fearing being encircled and killed.
"Boss Rosa, it seems these people didn't follow us," the Forest Race youth glanced at the stopping Feather Race team behind and said curiously, "They don't seem to be after you."
Hearing this, Rosalina also stopped and carefully looked at the Feather Race team stationed in the distance.
"No way, they're really not coming over." Rosalina stared in astonishment at the Feather Race youths discussing on both sides of the valley, "With such a setup not targeting me, who are they going after?"
Such a large operation, she has never seen in her entire life.
Even when the large suburban factions of Star Tower City hunted mid-tier monsters, they never dispatched so many people. It's hard to imagine who they're targeting with such numbers.
"Boss Rosa, do you think they're targeting some big shot?" the Forest Race youth whispered.
"Targeting a big shot?" Rosalina pondered for a moment, then shook her head, "Impossible. What kind of big shot in the wild needs such a terrifying scale? Even those big shots in the suburbs wouldn't merit such a treatment. I noticed not just the Feather Race; there are some Ape Race experts too."
"So, these people aren't from a single faction but a coalition of multiple factions."
"Can you imagine what kind of faction they are targeting with so many forces united?"
The Forest Race youth shook his head, unable to imagine what kind of faction would require such a collaboration of major suburban powers. Even the top ten forces in the suburbs of Star Tower City probably wouldn't get this treatment.
"Such a terrifying setup." Rosalina looked at the young masters who finished discussing, suddenly having a flash of insight, "Could it be that something highly valuable is being transported along this route?"
Rosalina reckoned that so many forces willing to join hands to target one faction was unlikely. After all, factions within the city are competitors, making such an alliance improbable unless something extremely tempting appears.
The only possibility is something valuable enough to make these major powers want to seize it. Because the treasure hasn't arrived yet, they haven't started fighting.
"Boss Rosa, we should leave quickly before these major powers turn their attention to us. If that happens, it might be too late to escape." The Forest Race youth became more worried.
Such a treasure that can attract so many major suburban powers must be extremely important. Once they acquire it, any faction would likely kill to silence witnesses and prevent the news from spreading.
"Alright, let's go. We can't stay here any longer." Rosalina nodded, agreeing that this was not a place to linger.
However, just as Rosalina and her team took a few steps, a convoy quickly drove up from the distance.
As this convoy of ten large transport vehicles appeared, Rosalina was immediately stunned.
All those stationed on both sides of the valley moved, rushing toward the ten large transport vehicles, which Rosalina was very familiar with.
They were the supply convoy for Fenglin Town, the very convoy that must be robbed by all major gangs near Fenglin Town.
"Are they crazy? Robbing their own convoy?"
Rosalina watched as the major faction teams blocked the road, filled with confusion.
Due to recent friction between Star Tower City and Chasing Light City, the high-ranking officials of Star Tower City specifically ordered their gangs to rob the supply convoy heading to Fenglin Town.
However, now it seemed that the major forces, both Feather Race and Ape Race, clearly came from Chasing Light City. Such a grand setup to rob their convoy was incomprehensible.
"Boss Rosa, it looks like someone is coming down from the convoy."
Prompted by the Forest Race youth, Rosalina curiously used binoculars to look over, puzzled about what Chasing Light City was up to.
On the road in the valley.
"Brothers! Up ahead! Up ahead, someone is blocking the road!"
"There must be over a thousand of them! Is this the newbie treatment?"
"What the hell! Look! There are even a few martial artist level bosses wearing B Level battle armor!"
"This scenario gets full marks from me! I'm taking this boss's equipment! Don't any of you dare snatch it!"
