In Qin Shilei's plan, Dark Night was to be forged into an invincible and victorious special operations team.
In the near future, each of them would be peerless experts in the Golden realm.
Whether it was invading beasts or foreign races attacking the Qin'an King's mansion, Dark Night would be the first to respond.
With the invasion of the Indians, it was time for this team to be deployed.
Soon, the members of Dark Night mounted their respective pets, the Wind Chasing Eagles, and flew towards Aya City.
Qin Shilei flew westward at a leisurely pace, only half an hour after everyone else had departed.
By the time he met Shen Feixue, all members of Dark Night had safely arrived in Aya City.
Aya City Lord's Mansion.
Qin Shilei sat in the main seat. To his left were Shen Feixue, He Kaige, Luo Xiangyun, and several high-ranking officials from the Flying Snow Sect. To his right were Mu Ziping and the five captains of Dark Night.
Shen Feixue spoke first, "Ten days ago, we discovered people secretly contacting Indians within the city guard. Our investigation revealed that these were scouts sent by Budolong.
After intense interrogation, we learned that they intended to contact the Indians in Aya City to reclaim it."
He Kaige added, "Budolong is more than 400 kilometers away from Aya City. Their City Lord is Tyler, ranked ninety-ninth, a peerless expert in the first star of the Golden realm. They have approximately two hundred thousand experts above the Silver realm. They are likely to send a hundred thousand elites to attack Aya City."
Although Aya City was controlled by Shen Feixue, she had absolute control over only the Flying Snow Sect, which numbered just over forty thousand people.
Furthermore, only thirty thousand of these forty thousand had reached the Silver realm.
Facing Budolong's army of one hundred thousand with only thirty thousand, they held no advantage.
While Shen Feixue had the advantage of defending the city, the Indians within the city might turn against them. At that point, it would not be thirty thousand against one hundred thousand, but possibly thirty thousand against three hundred thousand.
However, Shen Feixue and the others showed no signs of panic.
It was because their King, Qin Shilei, had arrived. Countless miracles had led them to believe that as long as Qin Shilei was present, they would surely achieve ultimate victory, no matter how many enemies there were.
Qin Shilei said calmly, "I will not act unless absolutely necessary. This time, Dark Night and your Flying Snow Sect will be fully responsible. I hope you can achieve a brilliant defensive counter-attack."
After speaking, he leaned back in his chair and remained silent.
Upon hearing this, everyone understood that Qin Shilei wanted to test them. They no longer hoped for Qin Shilei to suppress the invading enemies with overwhelming force but instead contemplated how to eliminate the enemy with the least cost.
Mu Ziping was the first to ask, "City Lord Shen, have the spies within the city been cleaned up? Have scouts been dispatched to investigate Budolong's movements?"
Shen Feixue replied, "We intended to use these spies to transmit false information to the enemy, so most of them have only been monitored, not apprehended. I have also dispatched scouts to Budolong to investigate. They have already assembled their troops and are preparing to march towards Aya City."
Mu Ziping suggested, "City Lord Shen, I propose we apprehend all these spies, force them to transmit the final message to Tyler, and then publicly execute them.
While keeping the spies might allow for some maneuvering, it could also lead to the incitement of the Indians within the city.
Currently, we have more peerless experts than they do, and we possess the advantage of city walls. I believe we do not need to keep these spies who could become hidden dangers."
Shen Feixue found his reasoning sound. She glanced at Qin Shilei, who did not object, and agreed, "Alright, I will immediately arrange for people to apprehend them all."
"Dark Night will be responsible for apprehending the spies. You, Feixue, only need to provide their names and locations," Qin Shilei's calm voice suddenly rang out.
"Yes, sir!" Shen Feixue and Mu Ziping replied in unison.
Led by Shen Feixue's subordinates, five hundred members of Dark Night moved out swiftly.
Qin Shilei, riding his Golden Winged Thunder Roc, followed behind everyone, observing their every move with a poker face.
One by one, the spies were quickly identified and apprehended.
Soon, Mu Ziping and his team arrived at a camp belonging to the Giant Elephant Gang.
In broad daylight, the Giant Elephant Gang's gates were tightly shut.
A Dark Night member immediately stepped forward and kicked the iron gate of the compound flying.
Dozens of people quickly rushed out from inside, and more poured out from the buildings.
Mu Ziping said coldly, "By order of City Lord Shen, we are here to apprehend spies sent by Budolong. Hand over the spies obediently if you know what's good for you."
A bearded Indian immediately stepped forward and said sternly, "There are no spies here. Please leave our Giant Elephant Gang quickly."
Mu Ziping said indifferently, "I will give you three minutes. If you do not hand over the spies, you will be considered traitors to Aya City and City Lord Shen. Traitors will be executed without mercy!"
In less than two minutes, more than three thousand members of the Giant Elephant Gang had emerged from various parts of the compound.
The leader was a middle-aged man riding on the back of a mammoth.
"This is the territory of the Giant Elephant Gang, our Indian land. There are no spies here. Get out, or I will have my elephant herd trample you into meat paste."
Mu Ziping raised his hand, checked the time, and said calmly, "Time's up. Attack!"
At his command, the shield warriors immediately raised their great shields.
The archers and ability users behind them simultaneously unleashed their attacks.
Over a hundred arrows shot towards the Indians like lightning. More than half of them were aimed at the leader of the Giant Elephant Gang.
Under such a dense and powerful barrage, the leader of the Giant Elephant Gang, despite his best efforts to dodge, was inevitably riddled with arrows, and even his mount, the mammoth, was not spared.
Fireballs the size of washbasins roared towards the opposing crowd, igniting and burning the Indians in their path, and exploding among the ranks, turning over a dozen people into charred corpses.
Ice cones, earth spikes, and vines attacked the enemy.
After a brief period of chaos, the members of the Giant Elephant Gang charged forward, shouting.
However, before they could even run ten meters, they were bombarded by countless deceleration and control abilities.
Meanwhile, their various ranged attacks were blocked one by one by the shield warriors of Dark Night with various defensive abilities.
Although the Giant Elephant Gang outnumbered Dark Night, their strength was far inferior.
Moreover, Dark Night possessed complete offense, defense, and control, and their coordination was tight.
From the moment Mu Ziping gave the order, the destruction of the Giant Elephant Gang was sealed.
In less than ten minutes, the entire Giant Elephant Gang had been annihilated.
Blood flowed freely, and scattered limbs and severed arms were seen everywhere.
Witnessing this tragic scene, the surrounding Indians collectively gasped.
Some in the crowd attempted to incite others to attack Dark Night.
However, as soon as they noticed the giant eagle flying in the sky, they suddenly remembered the terrifying Eastern face that had appeared before.
Their thoughts of causing trouble were completely extinguished.
Qin Shilei, hovering in the sky, was reasonably satisfied with Dark Night's performance.
He no longer followed them and turned back towards the City Lord's Mansion.
