I have an eye of truth

The city-wide celebration began, but this time the adventurers were the ones feeling miserable.

The adventurers had proposed that they would only take action after Wang Yang and the others returned. But their abilities were too strong, and the matter was resolved as soon as they came back, so they weren't needed at all.

Not only did they not get any benefits, but they also didn't receive any credit. Afterwards, the common people would still complain about them.

No, they didn't even have to wait until afterwards; it had already begun. The adventurers were drinking in the tavern, their expressions very resentful.

Looking at the screen inside the tavern, it was broadcasting the City Lord's speech. That's right, he was no longer the Acting City Lord, but had become the real City Lord. Through this incident, the City Lord's contribution was very great, and he had firmly secured his position.

From time to time, they could also see civilians pointing at their side of the tavern, making them even more uncomfortable.

"Alright, what's with all these long faces? You need to think clearly; we weren't without merit this time."

"What merit do we have? We didn't even lift a finger!" someone objected.

"Who said we didn't? If they hadn't forced the city's higher-ups to call the Sky Battle Team for help, how could we have resolved the matter so quickly? And don't forget, the Sky Battle Team are also adventurers."

"That's right, this is the merit of us adventurers!"

Someone suddenly understood and cheered loudly. Hearing these words, the atmosphere here finally recovered somewhat.

In any case, the adventurer group is nominally a unified entity.

This time, the City Lord was in high spirits, his contribution was truly too great. The surrounding Others and insects had already begun to disperse. There was no way around it; the Others knew they couldn't break through Impregnable City, so they could only leave.

As for the insects, they were constantly attacked by the giant bees left behind by the Legion Others, and now they had erupted with ferocity, attacking each other, with some insects even attacking their own kind.

They still hadn't stopped yet; if this continued, I'm afraid not many insects would be left in the end.

At that time, they would just have to go out and pick up some corpses.

As for the situation of using large-scale weapons before, this time the city directly revealed it, pushing Wang Yang to the position of hero once again. At the same time, it also explained the reason for using the electromagnetic energy-gathering cannon.

Otherwise, if someone used this to make a fuss again, they would also be very passive.

Sometimes, explaining things clearly one step ahead is much better than explaining afterwards.

The celebratory banquet did not start immediately, but was being prepared. There was no way around it, because the outside was too chaotic. Although the other members of the Sky Battle Team had already entered the city, the most important person, Wang Yang, had not yet entered.

Looking at the chaotic scene outside, it would probably be impossible to enter for a while.

At this time, Wang Yang was not worried at all, because he was secretly having his Shadow Assassins assassinate those insects. The chaotic battlefield had become the best place for Wang Yang to collect energy.

The Shadow Assassins came and went without a trace, and those insects who were in the midst of battle often died without even knowing how they died. Once the insects in one area were killed, Wang Yang would come out, just stand next to them for a while, and absorb the energy.

Afterwards, things like collecting crystal cores were quickly taken care of by the Shadow Assassins.

Even some corpses that he didn't kill himself, the crystal cores were collected anyway.

As for leaving them for Impregnable City, Wang Yang wasn't that noble. Those guys were still messing with him before; if it wasn't for the crisis looming, they would never have softened.

Wang Yang wouldn't indulge these people; he directly took all the crystal cores. Anyway, there were still so many corpses left, enough for Impregnable City to make a big profit.

With nothing to do, Wang Yang held the communicator and looked at the screen, which was broadcasting the City Lord's speech.

"Hehe, this City Lord is quite interesting, he's starting to win over the adventurers. I don't know if it's intentional or for some other reason." In his speech, the City Lord began to talk about the benefits of the adventurers.

Any discerning person could see at a glance that this was to exonerate the adventurers.

The City Lord was already helping without the adventurers having to explain themselves. There was no way around it; the adventurers in the city did not participate in this battle, so now the common people had a lot of complaints about them.

But the City Lord also knew that adventurers were an important part of the city. Without these people, many things in the city would not be done, which would cause big trouble.

Although it would be satisfying to let the common people and adventurers fight, what about afterwards?

As the City Lord, he had to consider the entire city, as well as the interests of his family and the entire upper-class interest group.

If the adventurers were all forced to leave Impregnable City, even if they survived this crisis, Impregnable City would still have big problems. There was no way around it; all the capable people had either joined large forces or become adventurers.

Those who stayed in the city to become soldiers were either people they had cultivated themselves, or people with insufficient abilities.

This was a kind of trend in this world, and they had no way to change it on their own.

So, now the City Lord could only compromise. And because of the City Lord's explanation, the people's resentment also began to gradually weaken. Afterwards, there would definitely be many experts and public intellectuals coming out; these were all established routines.

The battle of the insects would not end in a day or two. Wang Yang kept wandering outside. On the first day, a large number of insects completely wrapped the city, constantly fighting frantically, making people afraid to enter and exit.

And at this time, Impregnable City had already begun to work on opening up underground passages.

The Sky Battle Team, as a celebrity team, directly helped, and Impregnable City broadcasted them live.

On the second day, the number of insects outside had decreased a lot. After all, under this kind of melee, the rate of decrease in number was very fast. Wang Yang could actually enter the city, but he still stayed outside.

But by the third day, the insects had gradually decreased a lot, and Wang Yang had to leave.

On the one hand, it was because people in the city were urging him, otherwise the celebratory banquet would not be able to be held.

On the other hand, it was because Wang Yang had gained a lot; his space bracelet was almost full. Relying on those crystal cores and some smaller but valuable things, he could fill his space bracelet, so you can imagine how big Wang Yang's harvest was this time.

Such a large sum of wealth, I'm afraid the higher-ups of Impregnable City would be envious if they knew.

The most important thing was that, as the insects decreased, the army was about to start moving out. Once the army moved out, it would be useless even if he continued to stay here. Could his collection speed alone compare with the army?

Even with the help of the Shadow Assassins, there were only four hundred Shadow Assassins in total, but how many were there in the army?
