C319 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada Unaware of the Oriole Behind(1)

Just as the two of them were happily sharing the joy of victory, Sky High's preparations were over, and now it's time to close the net...

Auden and Ginger had basically suffered the same losses in this war. Now, both of them were on par with each other. No one had the strength to fight with each other anymore. The most important thing right now was to take down Ohring. Of course, this matter was much simpler. Because there were too few experts there, and the soldiers were too inexperienced.

Thus, after a discussion, the two of them decided to leave half of Ginger's troops behind. The other half would follow Auden to subdue the Ogren City. At this time, they had formed a solid alliance. It could be said that everything was within their plan. But they did not expect that the plan would never change so quickly.

After assembling the army, everyone headed north without stopping. Soon, they arrived outside the Ogren City. Just as they were about to take down this place in one breath, they discovered a phenomenon that neither of them had thought of. It turned out that the people they had arranged to surround the city were gone. Now, the city wall in front of them was completely clean, and the city gates were tightly shut.

"What's going on? Those people disappeared into thin air?" Although the people they had placed here were only from the second and third lines in their hands and did not have much combat strength. But compared to the soldiers in Ogren City, they were much stronger. It had to be known that the people here had never experienced any real battles, and those soldiers were just a bunch of cowards. Even if there were a few experts, they were useless because their strength could be ignored in a war.

But he had not received any news, and these people would not leave without following orders. But now, they were all gone, which puzzled them.

Facing the city that was about to belong to him, Auden finally could not hold it in anymore, so he sent one of his subordinates over. He planned to knock on the city gate to find out what exactly had happened.

But before this unlucky guy could reach the city gate, there was a whooshing sound on the city wall. An arrow shot out at lightning speed. This was not the kind of crossbow that an ordinary person held in their hands, but a special strongbow used to defend the city. An arrow as thick as a finger flew towards this person. Without any reaction, it directly penetrated his body. He was nailed to the ground.

"All of you, attack! Let's see what exactly happened!" Logically speaking, Ogrin would not have such a weapon, because he would never be threatened by the Devil Beast. Moreover, this was a commercial city, so how could there be a defensive strongbow? In addition, his people had disappeared without any warning, which made Auden and Ginger somewhat worried. After receiving the order, they immediately ran over, but just like the one in front of them, before they could get close to the city gate, several arrows flew over from the city wall.

Even with their dexterity and agility, they could not dodge so many attacks. In just a few moves, the people who were just sent over were nailed to the ground, and some still maintained the running posture.

"Bastard, what exactly happened!?" Auden angrily stomped his feet on the ground.

"Don't worry, something unusual might have happened. Or maybe we underestimated the strength of this place. Don't worry, we can even defeat the Ivano. Not to mention this place with no military power." Although he had some doubts, Ginger still tried to dissuade Auden. He wanted ___ to calm down.

"Then what should we do now? Should we just watch? Otherwise, we'll just charge over. There aren't any experts inside. We just need the two of us to open up a path. We'll just have to destroy those strongbow first." Auden, who had calmed down, said to him.

"Wait, let's see what's going on first." After saying that, Ginger stood up and shouted at the top of the city wall, "People of Ogren City, listen up. I hope you don't struggle for no reason. Leave your weapon and open the city gate. This will reduce your casualties. Don't let us attack again. Your city lord has already handed this place over. You better not be stubborn, or else what awaits you will only be death."

Just as they were waiting for the answer in the city, a voice that surprised everyone came from above, "Hahaha, don't lie to me anymore. That fatty has already died in Ivano City a long time ago. Furthermore, it was me who personally killed him. " As soon as his voice faded, Tian Qingtian's figure appeared on top of the city. "City Lords, it's been a few days. How have you been?"

The two of them stared at Qingtian, who was on top of the city wall, speechless. They didn't know why he had appeared here.

"What? Surprised? I didn't think it would be me. Are you wondering why I'm here? It's very simple. When you attacked Ivano City, I saw that there were no longer any city lords here. So, I took the opportunity to occupy it. Of course, this place will be mine from now on. It's best that the two of you don't pay any attention to this place. Oh, that's right. By the way, your subordinates are fine. They are still alive and well, only temporarily losing their freedom." Tian Qingtian said to them with a smile. Although his voice was very soft, what?

"You bastard, what do you mean?!" Auden was the first to lose his cool. This little bastard actually took advantage of the fact that the two of them were not paying attention to him and occupied Ogrem behind them. This should be his territory.

"What do I mean? City Lord Auden, what do I mean? Isn't it obvious now? This place is not bad. The prosperity here is not inferior to the Unfalling City. The second largest city on the continent is indeed different. After staying here for such a long time, it really makes me feel nostalgic and forget to return!" Tian Qingtian's words were neither warm nor hot. It made people even angrier when they heard it.

"Haha, you're really amazing, kid. I was wondering why you spared no effort to help us. It turns out that you already had plans. You are going to launch a sneak attack while we are attacking the Ivano. You have no time to worry about this place. Your plan was very successful. It wasn't until now that we realized... Impressive! Impressive! "Ginger wasn't as impulsive as Auden. Since Auden was able to stand there so calmly, he wouldn't hesitate to attack. It seemed like he had been planning this for a long time.

"You flatter me too much. Luckily, that guy is stupid enough. If you were stupid enough to cooperate with Tao, you wouldn't have risked your lives to get even with him. Of course, when the snipe and the clam fight each other, the fisherman will reap the benefits. As a person behind me, I will naturally take advantage of him. This is called the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Hahahaha..." Atlas had admitted it now, but these two could do nothing to him.

If they attacked forcefully this time, it would be different from the situation in Ivano. They had even brought the strongbow here, so they must be well-prepared. And judging from the number of arrows they shot just now, it must have been quite a lot. It was impossible to launch a sneak attack. If they attacked forcefully, the losses would be even greater. Moreover, he had definitely subdued this city in the past few days. The combat personnel inside had basically been replaced by his people. Judging from the way he used the strongbow earlier, it was fundamentally different from those straw bags of Oglin. In addition, the other party was defending the city, and they were still defending such a magnificent city. Even if all the people here were to go all out, there might not be any gains.

"I really didn't think that we would be fooled by this child. I've always wondered why such a smart person would be so enthusiastic about the matter of our peace. So it turns out that he had other plans. What should we do now? It seems that the situation in front of us is a little troublesome." Auden had already regained his calm and asked Ginger.

"What should we do? I know what to do. I knew this guy didn't have good intentions, but I didn't expect him to have such a big appetite. " Thinking about it, Ginger helplessly said to him," I can't do anything about it now, but we can keep putting pressure on him. After all, the entire south is our territory now. "

Hearing this, Auden could only say, "Don't be too proud. Let me tell you, what can you do even if you occupy this place? The entire south is now our territory. Ogrin is in the middle of the three forces. Let's see how you're going to survive in the future. "

"Oh, is that so? However, I don't think so. Use your simple heads to think about it. What am I worried about if I can stand here? As for you, do you think I don't understand the reasoning behind this? Right now, the two of you should think about what has happened to your own city! " Atlas's words caused the two of them to fall into an ice cellar. Could it be...
