Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Lauren glanced at it: "A concentrated annihilation artillery."

"Yes, annihilation cannons, three in total. Putting aside the manufacturing cost, just the personnel responsible for guarding and operating them would require a full fifty people. Acting Lady has spared no expense in deploying this weapon, which is even considered an ace in a four-digit community, in a completely unnecessary place... That's her opinion of the Heavenly King General."

Arc Light looked at Lauren with a hint of disdain.

"You should have a proper understanding of our opponent. His abilities may be far more complex than you think."

"..."

Lauren was criticized to her face, and of course she was embarrassed.

He scoffed and said, "General Tianwang is now nothing more than a toothless, sick tiger. I will prove that the acting lord's caution is completely unfounded."

There's not much point in dwelling on this topic.

The organizational structure of the Divine Sound Society is quite unique, even in the entire Ascended World.

It is a true behemoth, with over 100,000 adventurers under its command, and almost none of them are mediocre; the vast majority are at least at the seventh realm.

However, the Shenyin Society's true direct "agency" is very streamlined, consisting of only a little over a thousand people.

The remaining 100,000 people were vassals of what was known as the "hunting corps".

When launching an operation, Shenyin will direct a certain "hunting group" to go on the expedition and select an elite squad from the "proxy group" to lead them.

The same applies to the campaign against 96511.

Currently, almost all the fighting force within Heavenly King City consists of members of the Lauren Hunting Group. The High Priestess of Arclight has only arrived alone, but she is issuing orders; all decisions require her approval to be implemented.

Lauren was naturally unhappy about this!

only--

what else can we do?

Lauren watched Arc Light's retreating figure and thought to herself, "The Divine Sound Society is really... going too far! The people on duty are my people, the people deployed are my people, and the people charging on the front lines are also my people! In the end, all the limelight is on Arc Light, and she's still so rude to me... she deserves to die!"

Despite her anger, Lauren could only endure it.

Who wouldn't want to be the lord of a city, or even the general of a community?

The local powerful families have been entrenched for a long time; their strength may not be great, but it's not insignificant either.

The Divine Sound Society is renowned and has long cultivated immense power. If it weren't for their banner, how could they have so easily subdued Heavenly King City?

Although Lauren contributed his manpower and effort, without the protection of the Divine Sound Society, he couldn't really make a splash or withstand the fierce attack of the local bullies!

This is why the hunting party became a vassal state.

Thinking of this, Lauren felt...

I'm getting more and more resentful!

"They don't care about fists, they care about reputation. I do all the dirty work and hard labor, and in the end, I have to share half with others, and I'm supposed to be grateful! What kind of world is this? Is the Divine Sound Society's reputation really that great? Go to hell!"

Lauren, her face full of anger, followed Arclight angrily.

……

……

"General Zuo, good night."

Tenno-jo Castle, a certain residence.

Zuo Chang led Mu Suogen to a house and knocked on the door.

Musogen was slightly taken aback. He looked at the tall woman who opened the door and realized that something was unusual.

Upon closer inspection—

yeah?

Dragon scales!

The woman who opened the door had shimmering blue and white scales crawling on her high breasts. Mu Suogen initially thought they were decorations, but upon closer inspection, he realized they were actually scales.

He looked down again and sure enough, he saw a thick dragon tail hanging down behind the woman.

This is actually a dragon!

Zuo Chang looked at her and asked, "Who are you? I don't think I've seen you before."

"Your reputation is legendary. When you visited Community 2, I saw you once from afar in the crowd. At that time, I was immediately captivated by your charisma!"

This dragon is quite talkative.

She placed her palm on her chest and said, "My name is Wu Meng. Please take care of me."

Please take care of me.

I can take care of it.

Zuo Chang asked, "Have any members of the Divine Sound Society come here?"

“That’s exactly what I wanted to tell you. I just received intelligence that Arc Light and Lauren are on their way here.” Wu Meng gestured with her hand. “This way, please. My father has been waiting for you for a long time.”

Zuo Chang nodded and quietly followed behind Wu Meng.

Musuogen was slightly nervous.

He had long realized that Zuo Chang might have some plans, and as a general, it was unlikely that he could act alone.

but……

"Community 2? This dragonman's surname is 'Wu'?! Could it be that the 'Dragon Strategist' has also joined Community 2? That can't be!"

Friends, something terrible has happened! I might be going through a rebellious phase, or maybe... I'm just fed up with stories. I'm sitting in front of the computer and my mind is completely blank; I can't write anything at all!!

Yesterday we agreed on three updates, but only two were posted.

We said 8 o'clock today, but it's almost midnight!

Why did this happen...? How did I... become such a pathetic mess...?

Chapter 261 This move is called Oppression

Its position as the No. 1 community in the world has changed hands many times over the millennium.

However, the "No. 2" community has endured for a long time, remaining a dragon community from beginning to end without ever changing.

In terms of prestige alone, the Heavenly King General was merely a flash in the pan, dazzling but not lasting; while Community No. 2 was like a dark cloud, always looming over everyone's head.

"Dragon Strategist" is a renowned immortal and supreme powerhouse. He made great contributions to the establishment of Community No. 2 and had already established his illustrious reputation eight hundred years ago.

only--

After the "Dragon Princess" took over power from her father, the Dragon Strategist went into seclusion, traveling the world and disappearing from the public eye.

How did you suddenly appear in 96511?

With some doubt, Mu Suogen followed Zuo Chang toward the reception room.

The reception room was shrouded in mist.

The room was filled with wisps of white smoke. When Mu Suogen looked up, he could only see about a foot. When he looked down, he couldn't even see his own shoes.

"General Heavenly King, is that you?"

An aged voice rang out from within the white mist.

Zuo Chang stopped and asked, "Don't you recognize me?"

"You know I'm blind. I judge people by their aura. The last time I saw you, your aura was withered and cold, like a corpse, which opened my eyes. But now you have too much of a human presence, completely different from before, just like everyone else!"

Long Ceshi's voice was flat.

He was simply stating facts, as if he had no bias.

Zuo Chang asked, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Good fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune. Whether something is good or bad, it's not up to the old dragon to decide."

Humph--

Long Ceshi exhaled a white breath, and the room was filled with billowing smoke.

His voice carried the calm tone typical of an elderly person: "It's up to you."

Wu Meng brought over two cushions and had Zuo Chang and Mu Suogen sit down, then offered them tea.

Zuo Chang sat cross-legged, holding a teacup: "After I was defeated by the gods, I understood some things. That's probably why I've become just another ordinary person!"

“Your actions are indeed insane. I still don’t understand why you charged at the gods. Extreme madness inevitably leads to destruction, and your failure is to be expected.”

Long Ceshi remained silent for a moment.

Then, he suddenly said, "Silence."

click-

The door was opened again.

“Arc Priest, Mr. Lauren, this way please.”

A sound rang out, and the arc of light seemed to have arrived.

Mu Suogen straightened his back and reached for the Book of the Rootless at his feet, but Zuo Chang raised his hand and waved it in front of him, signaling him to calm down.

Dragon Strategist's breath has a powerful isolating effect, making it the best means of disguise.

As long as Zuo Chang and Mu Suogen don't make too much noise, even within three meters, probably no one will be able to detect their movements.

The Arc Priest was very polite.

She bowed to a pair of emerald green eyes emerging from the white mist and said, "Are you... Senior Dragon Strategist? I've long admired your name!"

"Hehe, it's me. I was planning to visit the city lord's mansion after dawn, but I didn't expect you to arrive first... I'm sorry for being so impolite. Please have a seat and some wine."

At Long Ceshi's command, someone immediately brought over a chair and a pot of wine.

The chair is an ordinary chair, but the wine is no ordinary wine.

The wine poured from the pot into the cup shimmered with a faint blue light, as if radioactive material had been added.

This is "Dragon Saliva Wine," a wine said to be chewed by a beautiful dragon maiden. Drinking it not only strengthens the body but also dispels evil spirits and slightly increases the drinker's cultivation.
