Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 618 Night Shadow City

Under a gloomy sky, amidst a dense jungle, a colossal city surrounded by walls stands on the land.

On the towering walls of the giant city, agile shadow troll warriors patrolled vigilantly. Their armor and weapons, gleaming with spiritual light, revealed their superior equipment, at least Tier 3 transcendental gear.

Below the giant city, the massive city gate, entwined with vines, stood open. The guards watching the gate all wore solemn expressions, gripping their weapons tightly, as if an enemy were about to invade.

Even the Shadow Trolls passing through the city gates were mostly in a hurry, unlike usual when they had the leisure to argue and chat.

"So what exactly happened? Why did the higher-ups suddenly make us so vigilant?" A young Shadow Troll guard scratched his head, looked around, and asked quietly.

Beside him, another shadow troll guard, who was noticeably older, coughed lightly. After seeing many troll guards turn around, he smiled and said, "I don't know either. I'm just an ordinary warrior. You should ask the captain."

Upon hearing this, the troll guards at the city gate all turned around, their eyes fixed on what was behind them, their expressions filled with curiosity.

Although they were just ordinary troll warriors guarding the city gates, guarding the city gates was a lucrative job. Ordinary city gate guards might be a position for ordinary trolls like them, but the position of captain of the city gate guards was something that ordinary trolls like them could never hope to attain.

Like their guard captain, whose strength is only at the peak of the third tier, he comes from a noble family, and his father is even a fifth-tier expert. If his talent weren't truly terrible, he wouldn't have stopped at the third tier so far.

Even so, the captain, being a descendant of nobility, knew far more than the ordinary guards.

“I don’t know much, and even if I did, I couldn’t tell you most of it. But there are some things I can tell you. Remember them and don’t tell anyone else,” said a shadow troll man whose clothes were noticeably more luxurious. The smug look on his face was barely concealed by the way he raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, yes, we know that, don't worry, Captain."

"That's right, Captain. You know us all too well. You would never let a single word slip out."

The Shadow Troll Guards all knew their captain's personality, so they all flattered him and echoed his sentiments.

"Ahem, let me tell you, the reason we've been asked to be on high alert is supposedly because other tribes have been infiltrated and attacked by the enemy, and the totems of several tribes have been destroyed as a result," the troll guard captain said in a low voice.

"As you know, our tribe's Shadow Totem is located within our Nightshade City. Therefore, the city lord is worried that we might also be attacked, which is why he has strengthened the defenses at the city gate."

Upon hearing this, the troll guards were all shocked. Although most of them were only at the third level and were just ordinary troll warriors, they were quite clear about the importance of the Shadow Totem, a treasure of the tribe.

Therefore, upon hearing this, they were immediately shocked, followed by a surge of anger. It was unforgivable that an enemy would dare to attack the Shadow Totem.

However, the anger quickly subsided, and fear and worry followed in the hearts of these troll guards.

After all, any enemy capable of attacking a totem must be exceptionally powerful, far beyond the capabilities of ordinary troll warriors like themselves.

If such an enemy were to actually attack the Shadow Totem, wouldn't the guards protecting the city gates be in grave danger?

Thinking of this, many troll guards turned pale, and some even lost control of their aura, leaking magic that puzzled the people queuing to enter the city. They only withdrew their power after being reminded by their colleagues.

The other troll guards didn't blame them, after all, the news their captain had given them was truly terrifying. Given their strength, if an enemy were to try and infiltrate or break into the city, they, the guards, would be the first to suffer; the chances of them being killed instantly were far too high.

"Captain, what should we do if the enemy really invades?" A relatively calm troll guard swallowed hard and asked nervously.

The other troll guards all turned their gazes to their captain. He was the only one here who knew the most, and only he understood the true arrangements for them. "Don't worry, if they really intended to use you as cannon fodder, I wouldn't be here with you," the Shadow Troll captain grinned, waving his hand.

Upon hearing this, his troll guards finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me tell you a secret: the entire Nightshade City is now on high alert. The skies above the city are completely blocked. Any creature that enters will be detected and dealt with immediately. The only places that are not blocked are the city gates in all directions."

"But the defenses at the city gates will not be weakened. If the enemy does choose to infiltrate through the city gates, they will definitely feel the power of our Nightshade City."

As he said this, the Shadow Troll captain had a slight smile on his face, clearly quite confident in the defenses of the area. However, he then seemed to think of something and added, "Of course, after today, there's even less to worry about."

"Why? Is something different today?" a young troll guard asked curiously.

The Shadow Troll Captain smirked and said, "Of course it's different. I received news from my home that because other tribes' totems were attacked, the main city specially sent a powerful figure to support us in order to ensure the safety of our Shadow Totem. It is said that the person who came is even higher in status than Lord Milo, who went to support Okan Fortress."

"What? How is this possible? Lord Miluo is a peak fifth-tier expert. If our tribe still had such an expert, he should have been sent to Okan Fortress long ago."

The situation at Okan Fortress was widely known during this period, as almost all the powerful warriors had been transferred there at once, and such a thing could not be kept secret.

Therefore, many trolls were pessimistic about the situation of Okan Fortress, and thus knew very well the extent of the power that the six troll tribes had mobilized to protect it.

Logically speaking, let alone a peak fifth-tier being, even an ordinary fifth-tier troll could be quite useful in Okan Fortress. So why would such a being remain in the tribe?

"I'm not sure either, that's all I've heard. Anyway, once the powerful figures from the main city arrive, we won't have to worry about safety anymore," the Shadow Troll captain said casually, shaking his head.

Over the next few hours, the troll guards at the city gates started chatting again, trying to ease the anxiety and fear that still lingered in their hearts.

Deep underground, several kilometers away from the east gate of Nightshade City, a huge cave was created. Within the spacious space sat nearly twenty powerful beings, and the leader among them was none other than Ye Mo.

Almost an hour had passed since he arrived at Night Shadow City, but Ye Mo was not anxious about it. After all, ensuring safety was his top priority, rather than completing the mission.

Therefore, after arriving here with his magical beasts and spirit pets, he immediately ordered his magical beast subordinates to build a base in the surrounding area and arranged for his spirit pets to go to Nightshade City to gather information.

After spending so much time, they finally completed the backup plan and confirmed that the location of the Shadow Totem had not changed and was still within Nightshade City.

"Finally all set up. Now, let's get started." Ye Mo wiped away imaginary sweat, turned to look at the spirit pets and magical beasts that had been preparing for so long, and said with a serious expression.

"Roar!"

"Ow!"

The monsters, who were getting impatient, responded in unison, with the Ice Storm Bear's voice being the loudest.

Meanwhile, Hanhan, Isaac, and Bailing were already prepared, their bright eyes showing that they were in top condition and ready to fight at any time.
