Chapter 8 After 8 Hours, Ci'en Village

Two Tails and Jiang Xiao were in a wooden house, sitting in a dilapidated dining room.

"Captain." Tiangou knocked on the door excitedly, gesturing to Two Tails.

Two Tails wasn't in a good mood. In the last battle, they captured two enemy soldiers, but both committed suicide. Even with starlight-suppressing handcuffs on, turning them into ordinary prisoners, they still found a way to kill themselves.

Jiang Xiao had seen those special handcuffs. In fact, he had even worn them himself. It was in the snowfields, when Hai Tianqing led the team and they were treated as prisoners, handcuffed and thrown into prison.

The magical handcuffs radiated a special light and had the special effect of cutting off starlight. Presumably, they were specially developed for star warrior criminals.

Two Tails turned her head and glanced at Tiangou, seeing a hint of joy on his face, and signaled him to come in.

"Captain." Tiangou walked in, saying, "Are you still annoyed about the prisoners, Captain?"

This kid is something else.

Bringing up what she doesn't want to hear?

Jiang Xiao sat on the dilapidated chair, playing with a military knife in his hand, "Maybe our analysis is wrong. Maybe Kang Kejinde doesn't care about that house as much as we thought. She just sent a team to investigate."

Tiangou said, "Kang Kejinde is very cunning and cautious. We've besieged her many times, and she's always escaped death. Sending a team proves that the house has special significance to her.

She knows it might be dangerous, but she still stubbornly sent people. She may be sincerely praying that this is just a personal act of revenge, that a team can solve the problem."

Jiang Xiao shrugged, spinning the military knife in his hand, noncommittal.

Two Tails asked, "What's the good news?"

Tiangou handed a piece of paper to Two Tails, hurriedly saying, "In the past 8 hours, our Shou Ye Army's summary of the frequency of Holy Ruins openings across the Kang Kejinde Republic."

Two Tails took the paper and nodded silently, "The trend is the same as when the E Ye Mountain Holy Ruins gradually receded."

Tiangou said with joy, "Yes, sir! According to this trend, within the next three days, there will be no more An Dian (Dark Hall) Other Dimension Holy Ruins opening within the entire territory! Our speed of destroying the Holy Ruins has far exceeded the speed of their opening."

Jiang Xiao turned to look at Tiangou, saying, "Three days later, we'll see the light of day again?"

Tiangou nodded heavily, "Our efforts have finally paid off! We can see the sun, and the people of Kang Kejinde can see the sun!"

Sunlight not only represents light, but also hope.

Especially for the Kang Kejinde Republic, where rumors are rampant and demons are rampant, light can destroy many things, even shatter lies, and effectively combat the An Dian organization.

It should be known that the enemy of the Chinese-Kang Kejinde joint army is not only An Dian, but also those wavering star warriors whose minds have not yet been eroded.

In broad daylight, under the clear sky. These are especially good words.

"Captain! Captain! Please respond!" Yingya's voice suddenly rang in everyone's invisible headsets.

Two Tails hurriedly responded, "Speak."

Yingya: "Traces of the An Dian organization have been found in Kelienna Town, with nearly a hundred members. The local military camp has been completely destroyed by the An Dian organization!"

Two Tails frowned and slowly stood up.

Yingya: "Several teams along the way gave the specific locations of the An Dian members before they were wiped out. According to their marching route, they are heading north!"

In the house, Two Tails crooked her finger.

Tiangou hurriedly took out a map from his pocket, trotted to the broken wooden table, and spread the map out.

Two Tails: "Locations."

Yingya: "Silent Canyon, Kelienna Town. Both locations reported the situation and have now lost contact."

Two Tails's finger pointed at Silent Canyon, slowly moving upwards, stopping at Kelienna Town. She said in a deep voice, "Why are you only reporting now?"

"The two patrol teams in Silent Canyon sent out distress signals. The Kelienna Town military also sent reinforcements, but none returned. By the time they wanted to report, the An Dian organization had already invaded the town's military camp."

Yingya paused, continuing, "They reported in detail that nearly a hundred An Dian organization members attacked the military camp, requesting support, and then they could no longer be contacted."

Jiang Xiao asked, "Nearly a hundred An Dian members, this is a big operation, right?"

Tiangou nodded, "And the biggest operation ever."

Jiang Xiao thought for a moment, saying, "They destroyed a military camp, demonstrating their strength, reaffirming their determination, and creating panic."

Two Tails's finger continued to move upwards, northwards, eventually stopping at 83 Cold Fir City.

Tiangou's expression was solemn, "83 Cold Fir City has the largest civilian shelter in the southeastern region."

Two Tails's hoarse voice came, "It also has the strongest military force in the southeastern region of the country."

Tiangou's expression was somewhat complicated, "Captain, do you think their target isn't the civilians, but the entire city?"

Two Tails sighed softly, "Nearly a hundred star warriors, flying through the sky and disappearing without a trace."

Tiangou pressed a hand to his temple. Individual battles, team battles, and large-scale group battles are completely different. One could imagine how tragic this battle would be.

Yingya's voice came from the headset, "Are we going to support them?"

Two Tails tapped the map lightly, turning to look at Tiangou.

Tiangou thought and thought, saying, "Our jurisdiction has only opened 3 Holy Ruins in the past 8 hours. The nearby teams easily resolved everything."

Two Tails turned to look at Jiang Xiao, whispering, "83 Cold Fir City is less than 60 kilometers from Ci'en Village."

Jiang Xiao leaned forward, grasping Two Tails's long fingers, using them as a pencil, drawing a shape from 83 Cold Fir City to Kelienna Town, then to Ci'en Village, forming an almost equilateral triangle.

Jiang Xiao: "Is Kelienna Town also 60 kilometers from Ci'en Village?"

Two Tails was slightly stunned, looking down at Jiang Xiao, saying, "Drawing us away from the real target."

Jiang Xiao nodded in Tiangou's direction, "I think our guess is wrong, but Tiangou thinks it's right. After all, the madwoman did send a team to investigate.

If Tiangou's idea is correct, then it means that the madwoman really cares about her little wooden house. No matter what twisted feelings she has for this little wooden house, in short, she cares, right?"

Tiangou's expression was solemn, saying in a deep voice, "This is an extremely selfish and narcissistic person, whose inner feelings are above anything else. She only sees herself.

Knowing it's a trap, she still sent a group of elite teams to die, satisfying her illusory fantasy, hoping that burning the wooden house was just a personal act of revenge."

Jiang Xiao asked, "Can she do something like sending a hundred elites to their deaths, causing all the surrounding teams to rush back to support, while she herself revisits her hometown?"

Two Tails shook her head, "After all, she's a leader. I think this is a long-planned action, it shouldn't be purely to satisfy her own selfish desires."

Tiangou said, "Regardless of whether it's a long-planned action, I think she will come here."

Yingya's disdainful voice came, "Come back to do what? Look at the house burned to ruins?"

Tiangou said, "If my home was burned down, and people told me that my house had become ruins, what do you think my first reaction would be?"

Jiang Xiao said, "Go back and see."

Tiangou nodded, "Moreover, this place has extremely special significance to her. So regardless of whether the attack on 83 Cold Fir City was long-planned, whether she's just passing by, I think she will come."

Jiang Xiao weakly said, "What if her ultimate goal isn't Cold Fir City, but Ci'en Village? Are we here, waiting for nearly a hundred star warriors to come to our doorstep?"

Tiangou looked down at the map, saying, "According to their marching route, they are indeed heading north all the way. It should be Cold Fir City, where they have a target to kill, and star warriors waiting to be co-opted. Speed is of the essence. Since they have planned it for a long time, they can't take detours and waste time. It can only be the madwoman coming."

Two Tails looked at the two, pressing the invisible headset, "Be our eyes."

Yingya: "Received."

Two Tails paused, continuing, "Be careful."

Yingya: "Don't worry, Captain, no one can see through my concealment skills. But I have to ask for instructions, I need to temporarily turn off communication, even the slightest sound will expose the target."

Two Tails: "You may."

As Yingya's voice disappeared, Two Tails said to Tiangou, "Go to the highest building, keep the communication open."

"Yes." Tiangou's words were firm, turning and leaving.

Two Tails sat on the chair, her legs crossed, resting on the dilapidated wooden dining table, slightly raising her head, looking at the dark ceiling, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing her preoccupied appearance, Jiang Xiao didn't dare to disturb her.

After enduring for a long time, Jiang Xiao walked to the window, reaching a hand out.

In an instant, layers of overlapping space opened outside the window, and two hands suddenly stretched out from the space, one hand holding a bag of cream puffs, and the other hand holding two bags of pure milk, handing them to Jiang Xiao.

Two Tails clearly felt something, turning her head, expressionlessly looking at Jiang Xiao.

The arm instantly retracted into the space, and the layers of overlapping space also disappeared without a trace, but left a cut mark on the muddy ground.

Jiang Xiao took the food, lowered his head and walked back to the dining table, carefully opened the package, and said quietly, "If our guess is wrong, if the madwoman really comes here with nearly a hundred star warriors..."

Two Tails's narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment of silence, she beckoned to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao opened two packages of cream puffs and threw one to her, casually throwing a bag of pure milk onto her table.

Jiang Xiao always thought his last supper should be a barbecue, but there was no way, conditions were what they were.

Just as Jiang Xiao tore open the packaging bag, Two Tails across the table, ate a cream puff in three bites.

Jiang Xiao looked at the cream left on her lips, thinking silently in his heart: It should be very sweet, right?

So… so he took action, took a bite of the cream puff in his hand, confirming his point.

Well, it was indeed very sweet.
