They advanced through the dark sewers and cut through another iron fence.

Ji Chen saw a flash of light in front of him.

His heart shook.

At the exit…

On the map, four red dots stood above the exit, like guards.

It seemed that they were not completely defenseless against this place.

“Have you heard? Many invaders suddenly appeared in the Blood Sea. I heard that the water stronghold that has been breached is currently advancing towards the Holy City…”

“Hmph, those intruders will definitely be punished by Sir Krieg.”

“Stop talking. It’s better to guard this place well and prevent intruders from invading the city through the sewers…”

“Who would come from this smelly sewer…”

The soldier lowered his head in disbelief. A bone blade had pierced through his chest.

Before the words could be fully spoken, the body weakly collapsed to the ground, emitting a choked sound.

From the tilted perspective, dozens of serpent-like creatures with dragon heads crawled out of the sewer, and a man stepped slowly on the staircase they formed.

The soldier’s final thought was that there were indeed invaders in the sewer…

Jichen glanced at the corpses on the ground. This surprise attack was successful, without alerting other enemies.

As for the next plan…

He looked in the direction of the city gate.

Other players had probably reached the outskirts of the city by now, but it would be difficult for them to break through the city walls and enter the city with their own strength alone.

At this moment, they needed an unnamed hero to provide a little assistance.

A sturdy fortress is often broken from the inside.

As long as they could open the city gate from within, the players could swarm in, and capturing this holy city would only be a matter of time.

Jichen understood this very well, even though he had already infiltrated the city.

However, it would be difficult for him to break through the blockade of so many Krieg’s soldiers and find the warehouse where the crystals were stored.

Therefore, it was necessary to borrow the strength of other players.

With that thought, Ji Chen and the others headed toward the city gates.

The players ran through the wilderness and saw the walls of the Holy City from afar.

“Why is there such a tall wall? Without the cannons of the Bauhinia Alliance, how are we going to break in??”

“I remember that in ancient times, didn’t they use local materials to build siege weapons before attacking the city?”

“It is not difficult to build a ladder, but it is also very difficult to break in if we only use a ladder…”

Just as they were at a loss, staring at the city walls, sharp-eyed players suddenly noticed the drawbridge being lowered and the city gate slowly opening.

Although they didn’t know what was happening, they knew it was a rare opportunity.

They rushed madly towards the city gate.

The Krieg soldiers on the city walls were instantly dumbfounded.

“Send someone down to see what’s happening! Close the city gate and raise the drawbridge!”

“Alice.”

A beautiful melody filled the air, leaving them stunned in their tracks.

By the time the Krieg soldiers snapped out of their daze, the city gate had been fully opened, and a large group of players and troops had already flooded in, overwhelming them.

After seizing control of the city gate, a frontal battle ensued.

And the mastermind behind it all had already infiltrated the city.

“Quick, stop the invaders! We can’t let them reach Krieg’s palace!”

“They’re likely after the crystals. Protect the crystal warehouse!”

Soldiers shouted as they ran out from the streets.

Bubbles rose from the nearby water channel.

Jichen slowly emerged from the water, a smile playing on his face.

There were many waterways in the Holy City, connecting all parts of the city.

He could travel around without being noticed by anyone through the water channel. Moreover, most of the Krieg soldiers’ attention was now on the other players, which created an excellent opportunity for him to sneak in.

Moreover, the crystal warehouse that these soldiers mentioned…

His eyes lit up, and he led the army in the direction of the soldiers.

In the majestic and luxurious bedroom, the sergeant was reporting the situation of the battle.

“Lady Krieg, the invaders have already taken control of the city gates and are fighting with our soldiers in various parts of the Urban area.”

“We have also sent more soldiers to guard the crystal warehouses to prevent anyone from sneaking up on us.”

The officer lowered his head and did not dare to look at Krieg who was sitting on the throne.

After a long time, he said slowly.

“Have you figured out how the city gate was opened?”

His voice was cold and emotionless, like a glacier on a mountain peak.

“The surviving soldiers all said that they heard a strange song and entered some kind of hallucination or absent-minded state. When they came back to their senses, they found that the city gate and the suspension bridge had been opened from the inside,” the officer replied, sweating profusely.

“Oh? It seems that someone has already sneaked into the city in advance. As for the singing… it’s probably the effect of some kind of spell or artifact.”

“Such a magical effect, I’m quite curious… I’ll give you ten squads of the Forbidden Army. Find them and bring them before me.”

There was a hint of interest on Krieg’s face as she spoke in a calm tone.

As if this question intrigued her more than the invading players themselves.

In front of a gothic cathedral, hundreds of Krieg’s soldiers who were originally stationed there had fallen to the ground, no longer breathing.

Ji Chen stepped over the corpses and pushed open the church door.

There were hundreds of wooden boxes piled up inside.

He casually asked the Naga Warrior to pry open one and took a look.

The wooden box was filled with crystals that emitted a pleasant glow.

With a wave of his hand, he took all of them.

“Ding ~ You have obtained 4700 units of crystals.”

A total of 4700 units!

It was equivalent to robbing ten warships!

It was a bloody profit!

Even a mini-crystal mine would only produce 2100 units of crystals, and the crystals here were equivalent to more than two mini-crystal mines.

It was unknown how long Krieg had been operating in this mystic realm, but the number of crystals she had collected must have reached a considerable amount, and many of them were piled up in various warehouses.

This warehouse was just one among many.

Adding the 2,200 units previously acquired, Jichen now had a total of 6,000 crystal units.

He had achieved half of his goal of 10,000 crystal units!

Ji Chen nodded silently.

Next, he just needed to seize another crystal warehouse, and his initial objective for this journey would be accomplished.

With this in mind, he led his army to the next warehouse.

Less than half an hour after their departure, an officer arrived at the scene with a fully armed squad of Krieg Forbidden Army.

Looking at the scattered corpses of soldiers, a hint of gloom flashed across the officer’s face.

He knew he was too late.

Amidst the wreckage, he analyzed the traces of the battle.

Based on the condition of the corpses, a significant portion of the defending Krieg soldiers was killed without any resistance, completely matching the description given by the gate guards.

It appeared that the enemy who plundered this warehouse was the same group that had opened the city gates.

With the target confirmed, the officer waved his hand and said, “We must capture the enemies that Lady Krieg desires. Her will is our objective, and Krieg’s blade is the direction we advance!”

“Full speed ahead!”

The Krieg Forbidden Army shouted fervently, their faces filled with zeal, as they followed the officer’s lead to track down the enemy..
