Chapter 70: The Big Fish Is Hooked

Xiao Jiu appeared in front of Qi Bei like a ghost, while Huan Ying who was being teased by him shouted in a coy voice and ran away.

Whats happening over there at Starfall? Qi Bei asked innocently.

Qingmu hasnt come out, but I found a green bird flying out of his yard. The bird flew to a clinic in the slum areas of the Western City District and after a while, it flew back and then out of the city towards the direction of the sheltered valley. Xiao Jiu said.

The Star Master lives in a clinic in the slums? Qi Bei was surprised. He couldnt imagine why one of the leaders of the three major forces in West Spirit City would live in the slums.

I dont know, but I asked around. The doctor in that clinic is named Murong. People call her Doctor Murong. She has difficulty walking with her legs and shes said to have a strange disease. She has been providing free medical treatment for the poor in that area for three years. Xiao Jiu said.

Qi Bei nodded. Even if Doctor Murong was not the Star Master, she must have a great relationship with Starfall.

Just then, Thirteen appeared like a ghost and said, Master, I just found out that Starfalls mercenary group is assembling.

Qi Bei stood up and smiled, The big fish is hooked. Has the trap in the sheltered valley been set up?

Its already set up. Thirteen said.

Thats good. Lets cut off one of their arms first. Our chips should be heavy enough then. Qi Bei rubbed his newly grown beard, and his sly appearance did not match his image at all. He seemed like a kid pretending to be mature.

Of course, Xiao Jiu and Thirteen did not think so. Since returning from the Undead Mountain Range, Qi Bei had become unfathomable.

Under the starry sky, the Star Mercenary Corps, the mercenary army which was under the jurisdiction of Starfall, with more than 8,000 people, rushed towards the sheltered valley in the blizzard. It could be said that Starfalls mercenaries came out in full force.

Because they came out in full force, the departure of the Star Mercenary Corps was very secretive. They were afraid that if Blood Wolves and Shadow Clan found out, they would gather and attack the headquarters.

This operation was led by the three Star Generals- Qingmu, Bisha, and Gu Xing among the eight Star Generals of Starfall.

Qingmu, dont you think theres something wrong with this? Bisha said to Qingmu. He was a thin and short middle-aged man with a pair of eight-character mustaches. He looked sneaky and not like a Star General who held great power in a region. Instead, he looked like a thief on the street.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Is there a problem? Qingmu asked, and the cold-faced Gu Xing next to him also looked over.

The expressions of the three Star Generals all changed. No way!

Attack! Qingmu immediately gave the command to attack.

Countless arrows and dazzling magic rained down on the tents in the sheltered valley. Then, a group of Star Mercenary Corps at the mouth of the valley rushed in, shouting loudly.

But just then, thick black smoke suddenly billowed from the tents, engulfing the entire valley including the mountains.

Bad news, its a trap, retreat quickly! Bisha shouted sharply.

But it was too late!

Boom!

A huge explosion shook the two mountains, causing the members of Star Mercenary Corps to collapse on the ground. When the black smoke met with fire, it instantly turned into dark green, and the mercenaries fell one by one like wheat being cut.

Only a few dozen people held their breath and hurriedly escaped, including the three Star Generals.

But when they rushed out of the dark green mist, they were greeted by hundreds of magic crossbows aimed at them.

Leading the charge was Lie Feng, who stepped forward and shouted coldly, Surrender now, my Lord is merciful and doesnt want your lives. But if you resist, youll be the ghosts under the blades of our Black Armored Army.

What about our brothers Gu Xing was furious. If all those mercenaries died, he couldnt live either.

Dont worry, theyre just unconscious. Theyll wake up once they take the antidote. Lie Feng said.

Gu Xing threw his spear and sat down on the snow.

Qingmu and Bisha also put down their weapons with bitter smiles. The situation was already lost, and they didnt need to die for no reason.

The rest of the mercenaries also yielded when they saw that the three Star Generals had surrendered.

The Lord is really insightful. If we ever go to war, well definitely make those Orc armies cry for their daddies and mommies. After tying up these people, Lie Fengs devotion toward Qi Bei had reached the extreme.
