Chapter 298: Chapter 170: One Man Guards the Pass, Ten Thousand are Unable to Open it_1

Huff, huff, huff!

Before the Undead Legion of Midwood City set out,

Missionary Gao Li also stood atop the city wall, making a final mobilization of the Necromancers.

"The Empire’s lackeys have infiltrated Midwood City time and time again,"

"According to intelligence, they will launch a full-scale attack on Midwood City within days."

"We cannot sit idly by! Thus, the ’King of Sudden Death’ will lead us all in a charge against the Imperial Faction!"

"You must follow the King of Sudden Death’s command without error! Hoddy, Black Feather, you two will assist the King of Sudden Death in the battle."

"As for me, I will coordinate the remaining Necromancers in Midwood City to provide backup assurance for you."

Faced with the orders of Missionary Gao Li, these Necromancers showed no impassioned response, merely pressing a hand to their chests as a signal.

Kill!!!

To kill the Imperial Army is to feast once more!

A green light flickered in the eyes of some Necromancers. Although Missionary Gao Li was relatively normal, not every Necromancer was like that.

However,

before Gao Li could continue introducing this Necromantic power to Lu Ran, telling him how to command them,

a Ghost Bee flew in and landed beside the ear of a Necromancer.

After contact with the Pet Beast, this Necromancer’s expression changed immediately, and he scrambled towards Gao Li, shouting loudly, "Lord Gao Li, something terrible has happened."

"Latest intelligence reports that a group of over two hundred Imperial soldiers is stealthily advancing toward Midwood City!!"

"It is suspected that they are about to launch an attack on Midwood City!!"

As this person finished speaking, the scene instantly erupted into chaos.

Gao Li, who had been composed, suddenly grew pale and shouted, "What??? Is the information reliable??"

"Absolutely reliable!! The Imperial Army is moving on a large scale, and their target is Midwood City!!"

"This is unexpected," he was shaken and looked at Lu Ran.

"Damn it, hahaha," however, at a moment when Gao Li found it hard to accept, Lu Ran was still able to laugh.

"Young Gao, I told you, the Imperial Faction’s treachery is never-ending. If you don’t strike first, they come to hit you. Do you believe me now???" Lu Ran laughed.

It seemed not only he was in a hurry, but the enemy Trialists were too.

In a hurry, everyone was in a hurry.

"I..." Gao Li was speechless, feeling fortunate that Lu Ran had already discovered the enemy’s invasion several times, which had led him to increase surveillance on the Imperial side, otherwise, they might indeed have been caught off guard by the Empire.

Fearful, Gao Li looked towards everyone.

"You all heard, our reaction was still a step slow, the Imperial Army is already on the way to attack Midwood City!!"

"Next..."

Before Gao Li could finish, the Bone Husky beside Lu Ran soared into the air on the winds, and Lu Ran was also swept up by the Wild Wind.

"Brother Gao Li, take your time to mobilize, I’ll go ahead and help you stall the advance of the large force."

"Remember to support me quickly."

With that, Lu Ran left in a hurry, leaving Gao Li momentarily stunned.

"Your honor is great!" Seeing Lu Ran going alone to buy time for them, a group of Necromancers was also taken aback.

What a good man, as good as Lord Gao.

...

Meanwhile,

on a treacherous path toward Midwood City, the Imperial Army indeed had mobilized.

Though intending to conceal their movement, such a large force could not avoid detection by the vigilant undead.

Most importantly, the Imperial Army did not dare to split up their troops.

They were not any special forces, just a band of weakened soldiers relying on their numbers. If they split up into several groups and were discovered, the outcome would only be more tragic, easily defeated one by one by the Necromancers with far superior stealth abilities.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" asked one of the nine Trialists, a Historian and a black girl, swallowing nervously.

Since a short while ago, her eyelids had been twitching non-stop.

"Don’t worry, we’ve made so many preparations, there’s no way anything can go wrong," the Beast Doctor said.

It was known that Midwood City was home to many Necromancers and a powerful Grass Attribute Pet Beast.

They had prepared countermeasures.

For example, they had plenty of Fire Attribute Weapons on hand, which they had generously provided to the Imperial Army as well.

As for the Light Attribute Weapons against the necro system, those were even more standard issue.

Under these circumstances, the Trialists didn’t see how they could lose.

"Besides, even if we die, it’s no big deal, since we won’t truly die," a young man from Southeast Asia said. "It’s just a bit of a waste of time, and I heard the sealing process is very painful."

"Does the opposing faction really have no Trialists?" asked a young man from Latin America, frowning.

"This kind of death immunity usually only occurs in PVP, in Trialist confrontations, right?"

"If it’s just a straightforward battle against the Secret Realm’s projections, there’s no death immunity, and you would truly die!"

"This Secret Realm was created after we chose our factions; if there are no Trialists on the other side, why is there still a death immunity mechanism?"

This was a common phenomenon. Usually, in Breakthrough Secret Realms involving Beast Trainer confrontations, there would be a notice: Trialist deaths are not permanent, and they will return to normal after 30 days.

Upon death, the body would be recovered by Infinite City, treated, and sealed.

At this time, the identity card would not be deactivated.

However, if the mission did not involve PVP, if it did not entail combat between Blue Star Beast Trainers, but rather PVE fighting against Secret Realm Beast Trainers, Evil Beasts, or completing a particular task—like Lu Ran’s prior challenge of passing the Grandmaster Chef exam—the death would be real.
