I have an eye of truth
#241 - It's time for us to negotiate terms.
That day, as several people were continuing to adapt to their powers, they suddenly saw Lingling running over anxiously.
“Lingling, what’s the rush?” Zi Qing stepped forward to support Lingling.
Lingling quickly said, “Look, this is the news I just received. Fallen City is now surrounded, and a large number of insects are preparing to attack, possibly for revenge. The internal situation of Fallen City is chaotic, and they are preparing to invite us over.”
“A chaotic situation, how could this happen?” Everyone was a little surprised.
Taking the information to look at it, everyone gradually understood. It turned out that what they had done before had become widely known. If nothing had happened, these things would have been suppressed after a few years.
But now it was different. Suddenly, there was a situation where insects surrounded the city. Under this circumstance, the previous conflicts were completely amplified. The current problem was that the adventurers did not trust the city's higher-ups.
Not only the adventurers, but even ordinary people did not trust the city's higher-ups.
Although those citizens stood on the side of the city's higher-ups for their own safety, they were only doing so to get the adventurers to participate in the battle.
In fact, many citizens hoped that adventurers would participate in the battle every day, and at the same time, they hoped that the higher-ups would conduct an internal cleansing and deal with some people who had committed crimes in the past.
This was where the problem came in. How many of those higher-ups had not committed crimes? Everyone was just hiding it usually.
When a city's atmosphere became problematic, it was almost impossible to find a few truly selfless higher-ups in the city.
“Now the people over there have made a request that we must go over. Only after our interests are compensated will they regain trust in the Fallen City's higher-ups. What should we do now?”
The last contribution was not small. If they could replenish what they needed, it would be a big profit.
As for those things that they had chosen to take away before, although they couldn't use them, there was absolutely no problem with their value. And Fallen City would definitely not dare to take these things back.
If it happened again, then Fallen City's credibility would completely collapse.
At that time, even if the insects didn't attack Fallen City, the city itself would face a huge crisis.
Wang Yang could even imagine that if it really happened again, then there wouldn't be many adventurers left in Fallen City. Perhaps even civilians and soldiers would leave Fallen City on a large scale.
Without civilians and soldiers, wouldn't this city be just an empty shell?
“Based on my judgment, the target of those Others is probably not Fallen City, or rather, not just Fallen City,” He Yingxue said.
“Look, although the insects' actions from the initial attack to the final encirclement seem similar to usual, they have revealed many signs, giving the people in the city plenty of time to prepare. Now, when Fallen City makes this request, the insects have actually slowed down their offensive.”
Everyone nodded slightly. This was indeed a problem. Logically speaking, since the city had already been surrounded, the next step would be a full-scale attack, but this time the Others were obviously not doing that.
They even slowed down their offensive, giving the city a chance to breathe. This situation was like setting up an ambush to attack reinforcements.
But now it was impossible for other cities outside to come to support because the entire area was a scene of insect riots. Not only the multi-legged worms, but now many insects were starting to erupt on a large scale.
This was certainly not a normal situation. This was triggered in advance by the Others.
After this outbreak, there would be very few insects here for a long time.
Without support, but still setting up an ambush to attack reinforcements, then the only possibility was that these guys were here for revenge. Not only because of Fallen City, but also because of them.
This time they lost a lot of Others, and the biggest loss was that commander-type Other.
“It seems that they are acting like this because of the loss of the commander Other. The real target should be me,” Wang Yang said, pointing at his nose.
“That’s right, so as long as we show up, we will fall into the enemy’s trap.”
“But if we don’t go, I’m afraid it will greatly damage our reputation. This is a difficult choice to make,” Zi Qing thought with a frown.
This time it was a full-scale war, not that simple. On the battlefield, even if they were strong, they wouldn't be able to exert too much power unless they could find the Others and deal with them directly.
But the problem was that, after the last sneak attack, those Others must have made full preparations. A sneak attack was definitely not an easy task.
“If only we hadn’t continued to adapt in this place. If they launched an attack after we left this floor, even if there was any problem, it wouldn’t be our fault.”
Yes, if they had already left, then no one would blame them.
But now that they were still on this floor, things were a bit troublesome.
“We must go, but we can negotiate terms,” Han Shuang suddenly said.
“Negotiate terms? Do you have any ideas?” Zi Qing looked at Han Shuang. Although Han Shuang usually didn't have a strong presence and didn't like to talk much, it didn't mean that Han Shuang was stupid. On the contrary, she was very smart.
Han Shuang said, “Since it is a battlefield, once a war breaks out, everyone needs to participate. We can also take this opportunity to let them launch an attack, attract the enemy's attention, and disrupt their deployment.”
“You mean, this time we won't try to find a solution after entering the city, but directly launch an attack from the outside? That's not bad. We can even organize a team to go and rescue them.” Zi Qing's eyes lit up.
Directly launching an attack to relieve the city would definitely be more effective than running over ourselves.
If they rushed over themselves, it would basically be the same as courting death. Those Others must have prepared methods to deal with them. But if they attacked from both sides and disrupted the Others' deployment, there would be no problem.
They could even take this opportunity to wipe out the Others in one fell swoop.
The biggest problem now was how to find the Others. If it were other people, they might not have a way, but they were different.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Wang Yang was a little confused, “What are you looking at me for? Wait, you don’t want me to go find those Others again, do you?”
“Of course, only your detection ability can easily find them. We can’t do it.”
The Shadow Assassin was a special existence, not a living being. Even if the opponent's insects were dense, as long as the Shadow didn't come out, it wouldn't be discovered. There weren't such troublesome enemies on this floor yet.
Although there were a lot of insects, they were not good at setting up barriers or anything like that.
