Chapter 513: Chapter 513

This time, the operation was handled by Du You, Lin Yucha, and Lin Yushi, along with heavily armed warriors who comprised the main force due to their robust defenses. Therefore, the losses incurred during the entire battle weren’t considerable.

No regular troops were lost, and of the ordinary citizenry, only three rather unlucky people died.

After all, this was warfare, and it was virtually impossible to ensure every citizen remained unscathed. Even in normal life without war, many people meet with accidents daily.

"Master, shall we just follow them ?" Lin Yushi asked Du You.

At that moment, the trio sat atop the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, trailing far behind the Sandpeople. In the sky, a purple bolt golden eagle watched them from above, so they didn’t need to worry about losing track of their path, and the Sandpeople couldn’t see them either.

Without the soldiers as a burden, their mobility was significantly enhanced with just the three of them.

"Let’s just follow them. I hadn’t intended to invade their city initially, but it seems fitting to do so now."

The cities of the Sandpeople fell far short of those of humans in terms of defense, especially their Magic Arrays which were rough and not very powerful. Of course, Du You wouldn’t dare meddle with a major city, but he dared to invade ordinary small cities.

He was originally uncertain about a city located in an oasis, but now he had this summoning scroll. If planned well, perhaps it was indeed possible to take control of this city.

If he failed, he could still escape. He didn’t believe that a powerful Sandperson of the third tier could live in such a border city. As long as there wasn’t a third-tier presence, he wouldn’t care about a few level 20 Sandpeople.

If they didn’t succeed at the first attempt, they could try a second or even third time, they would solve this problem eventually. Dıscover more novels at 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥

The destruction of a border city would undoubtedly bring substantial benefits to Du You.

These Sandpeople had been fleeing continuously for two days because of the considerable distance. After two days, Du You finally saw the outlines of a small city within the border oasis. The city wall wasn’t entirely made of stone.

The framework was mostly a wood-stone structure, much like his own city wall. However, there were peculiar patterns on the wall which should have been to enhance the wall’s defense.

However, these Runes were directly drawn on the surface, not hidden inside like those in White Stone City. Du You could slightly tell that the level of these city walls wasn’t very high. Otherwise, he would have essentially given up.

The Sandpeople at the forefront had reached the base of the walls, and they confronted the Sand People Soldiers above.

"Who are you, and why are you approaching our city alienly?"

Once they recognized these individuals as Sandpeople, the Sand People Soldiers relaxed slightly. In this border area, conflicts among the Sandpeople were rare. The main enemies were humans from the Divine Flame Empire.

Their panicked demeanor clearly indicated they had been pursued and sought refuge here.

Indeed, one Sandperson yelled, "Our tribe has been destroyed by humans. They have mages, they... they are simply devils." The other Sandpeople started clamoring; the scene was chaotic.

The big commotion quickly drew the attention of the Sandperson upper classes. After understanding the situation, they realized such incidents were not uncommon on the borders.

"What should we do? Should we let these people in?" someone asked.

"Yes, let them in. We are short of hands. The last battle at White Stone City inflicted heavy losses on our army. This reinforcement is good and will help them recover quickly."

Recollections of the battle at White Stone City still made many people fretful. It had been very frustrating. Their plan had been very sound, and while it seemed rushed, they were confident it would cause severe damage to the humans. But who would have imagined that treacherous humans would deploy an elite suicide squad in the rear and disrupt all their arrangements.

Just recalling that battle made them grit their teeth in hatred.

"Okay, open the city gate. Let them in." These people never considered the possibility of Sandperson spies among them. Sandpeople were straightforward; even their internal battles hardly involved such deceitful ploys.

"Very well, they’re going in." From a distance, Du You watched the Sandpeople moving into the city.

There were two waves of fleeing Sandpeople, not just one. The other wave was a bit far off, but they would also arrive after a while. Du You had been following the first wave the entire time, and now it was time to act.

Xiaozi leaped down from the sky, and Du You jumped onto it. Using Xiaozi’s flight speed, he quickly drew closer to the panicked, fleeing Sandpeople. He activated the Summon Sand People Legion Scroll.

A large number of Sand People Legions appeared on the open ground. Du You hurriedly said, "Scatter, act like refugees, blend into the crowd up front and stop needless chatter. As soon as you’re inside the city, start killing." Du You couldn’t issue complicated orders because these summoned Sandpeople weren’t very intelligent.

They were like puppets, strong in battle but brainless.

Even how to act like refugees had to be explicitly explained by Du You. Fortunately, the Sandpeople were thrown into disorder and hadn’t considered the possibility of problems arising from Sandpeople running alongside them.

The procession was already chaotic, and many people didn’t know each other. Having several more unfamiliar faces was quite normal.

The Sandpeople blended into the crowd, and before long this group reached the city’s outer area. Upon seeing these people and thinking about the previous group, the Sandman Army in the city didn’t think much about it.

"Another group has arrived, and they seem similar to the ones before. Shall we let them in?"

The person guarding the city saw these Sandpeople and nodded, "Let them in then."

And so, the city gates were opened again. The inquiry this time was even simpler, only to confirm they were like the people before. They determined the enemy was human and so there would be no issues among their compatriots.

The stronger ethnic compatriots they had, the more jubilant they were. But this time, things were clearly different from before.

Once individuals entered the city gate, the situation suddenly changed.

Those considered as compatriots started moving. A group of obviously powerful Sandpeople gathered, witches among them started casting magic right away, strengthening the Quicksand Soldiers and summoning multitudes of Sand Snakes and other Summoned Creatures to launch attacks on their companions. Almost instantly, almost half of the soldiers guarding the city were slaughtered.
