In a crossover anime, the only way to become stronger is by marrying a wife.

Fujiwara Chika said, "In addition, they also plan to launch a combined attack on us from both inside and outside."

"Isn't this method a bit too direct and crude?"

When she received this information, Fujiwara Chika was initially incredulous, but after thinking about it, she realized it was normal.

The attempt to bribe intelligence and find inside agents was so clumsy that shortly after the other party sent the message to Kawasumi Itsuki, Fujiwara Chika received a report from her informant.

"These three people are just ordinary people. What more do you want them to do?" Tsukikawa Shuu said with a smile.

“That’s true. I’m used to being taught by those bigwigs in politics, and I thought they could come up with some clever tricks.” Fujiwara Chika laughed as well.

To political families familiar with this kind of business, Kawasumi's act of planting spies and inside agents was considered an extremely low-level tactic, even a challenge to Fujiwara Chika's bottom line.

"Well, it won't cause any big trouble."

"That's what Fujiwara Chika said."

Just after receiving information that Kitamura Motoyasu, Kawasumi Itsuki, and Amaki Ren were preparing to launch a coordinated attack on Tsukikawa Shuu from within, Fujiwara Chika then received details about the specific individuals who were acting as spies, the number of people in the teams led by Kitamura Motoyasu and his two companions, and their respective strengths.

Compared to Kawasumi Itsuki's hasty search for an inside man, Fujiwara Chika's spies were already spread throughout all the known towns.

They either use money and power from the real world to lure people in, or they use the universal currency, refined ores, skill cards, weapons, and other resources from the inner world to bribe people. A comprehensive network has already been established in the inner world, and any unfavorable developments will be known immediately.

"It must be those three arrogant, bossy guys from the secret realm." Ichiji Nijika put her hands on her hips, feeling furious just thinking about how she faced those three guys in the secret realm.

They're clearly just three weaklings, yet they're so arrogant, acting like the whole universe revolves around them. They're so cocky and deserve a beating.

"It's just them, and this time they're planning something big," Tsukikawa Shuu said with a smile.

Killing was not allowed in the secret realm before, so everything still needs to be resolved in the inner world.

Originally, Tsukikawa Shu had also planned to deal with these three unstable troublemakers, but he wasn't in a hurry. He continued to grind dungeons, figuring that once the other players continued exploring and the towns became connected, he could travel freely to find these three guys.

I never expected happiness to come so suddenly, saving me all the trouble.

Now, Kitamura Motoyasu, Kawasumi Itsuki, and Amaki Ren have walked right into our trap, bringing along their strongest team members. If we wipe them out in one fell swoop, the remaining weaklings won't amount to anything. Besides, they have no grudge against Tsukikawa Shuu; they joined the strongest team simply for better opportunities. No one dares to jeopardize their future by going against Tsukikawa Shuu.

"Where are they now?" Tsukikawa Shu asked.

"We just set off. If they've been cutting across the road, they should be here in about half a day," Fujiwara Chika said.

"Alright then."

Tsukikawa Shuu slowly sheathed his katana. "Let's not run the dungeon for now. Let's wait for these guys to get here first."

The Goblin Dungeon is located in the outskirts of the city. While Tsukikawa Shuu was wiping out the monsters and destroying most of the forest, the once boundless forest has gradually withered away. In contrast, a wilderness has appeared around the Goblin Dungeon.

There's no need to rely on the town's walls for protection for these guys; wherever Tsukikawa Hiiragi stands, that's the most fortified fortress.

The group first exited the Goblin instance.

At this time, the area around the Goblin Dungeon was under orderly control and managed by the Elite Committee and other associations. There would be no situation where powerful groups would seize the Goblin Dungeon, and everyone would queue up on a first-come, first-served basis.

However, Tsukikawa Shuu and her group are an exception. They also have the strength to claim priority.

The law of the jungle remains unchanged in the underworld; the only difference is that the strong provide some protection and order to the weak. The essence of the underworld remains the same.

"Everyone in line, go back now. We're going to have a cleanup going on here," Hiratsuka Shizuka said to the people in charge of the goblin dungeon.

The group looked at each other, bewildered and unsure of what had happened.

However, they did not ask any further questions, nor did they dare to, and immediately followed the orders.

"The Goblin Dungeon will be open for the day. Those who remain can come back tomorrow. Remember not to crowd and to queue properly, otherwise the Moonlit Town Management Association will impose the most severe punishment on you."

After being informed and driven away by the personnel in charge, the teams waiting outside to run the dungeon reluctantly dispersed.

Some people were also dissatisfied and stood still, refusing to move.

"If you want to die, then stay here," the person in charge shouted at the group.

After being shouted at like that, and glancing at Tsukikawa Shu on the other side, everyone finally left.

Although we don't know what happened, offending Tsukikawa Hiiragi is a death sentence. The sumo wrestler who opposed the establishment of a new order is the most typical example of what happened to him.

"Have you confirmed all the spies in Yuelong Town?" Yuechuan asked.

“They’re keeping a close eye on it. I’ll have the committee handle it,” Fujiwara Chika said.

"For now, let's not alert them," Tsukikawa Shuu said. "We'll take them all out when they all come together."

……

……

At this very moment, Kitamura Motoyasu, Amaki Ren, and Kawasumi Itsuki were leading a large group of people, rushing towards Yuelong Town at breakneck speed.

All the players present were level 25 or above, with excellent travel abilities. Moreover, because they were all experienced, they were able to avoid areas occupied by powerful monsters and quickly head towards Moonlong Town.

There is usually no contact between towns because everyone is slowly leveling up and collecting resources, so progress is slow, and the travel time also needs to be considered.

But now their goal is clear: to kill Tsukikawa Shuu!

If we take down Tsukikawa Shu, with their large force—the strongest players from three towns combined—it won't be difficult for them to conquer Tsukigawa Town, another beginner town!

Chapter 204

They avoided the habitats of high-level monsters along the way, heading towards Moonlong Town as quickly as possible.

If we proceed at the usual pace of grinding monsters and gathering resources, it will still take some time before we reach Moonridge Town.

As they continued on their journey, Kitamura Motoyasu and his companions gradually began to discover traces of player activity.

"Look over there, these are signs of a battle."

Kitamura Motoyasu suddenly stopped, bent down, and looked at a patch of scorched earth at his feet.

"These are the marks left by the fireball exploding."

He held up the clod of soil and said, "We're almost there!"

"So, we're almost at Yuelong Town."

The people behind were somewhat pleased.

Their journey was essentially a forced march, which was naturally uncomfortable. They had been traveling for almost a day, so it was impossible for them not to be tired.

“That doesn’t make sense. According to our calculations, we should still be quite a distance from here to Yuelong Town.” Tianmu Lian frowned. “Logically, we should arrive around dawn the next day.”

"How did these battle marks appear here?" Kitamura Motoyasu asked.

"Is it possible that the people of Yuelong Town have already cleared this area?"

Some people have offered their guesses.

"Impossible, how could anyone have traveled that far at this time?"

"Yes, you know, this place is no longer within the outskirts of Yuelong Town. According to the original map, it's still nearly two kilometers away from Yuelong Town! And there are many powerful monsters lurking along this route!"

"But judging from the traces here, it doesn't seem like a battle that just happened between passersby. And have you noticed that the closer we get, the fewer powerful monsters there seem to be, and the fewer monsters there are?"

Everyone was talking about it.

But Kitamura Motoyasu quickly gave his own conclusion.

"Hmph, I couldn't possibly have left the town this far. This is probably just a battle trace left by someone who occasionally went out to explore for treasure. It's impossible that those people who were clearing out areas to gain experience walked here!"

Kitamura Motoyasu said.

“I think so too. After all, the three of us are lucky to have managed to get five kilometers away from the town’s outskirts. The monsters five kilometers away are much stronger,” Kawasumi said.

"Um……"

Tianmu Lian then took another look at the scorched earth.

But no matter how I looked at it, I couldn't see anything.

Is it possible for anyone in the Otherworld to extend their reach this far from a town? It's highly unlikely.

The only explanation is that some players, oblivious to their fate, stumbled upon this place, encountered monsters, and engaged in a significant battle, leaving behind these traces.

As for the fact that we're currently at the peak of monster activity, the closer we get to Moonlong Town, the fewer monster lairs there are. This can only be explained by the nature of Moonlong Town's environment.

The same principle cannot be applied to different starting villages.

Putting aside these unnecessary thoughts, the group of over twenty people continued on their way.

Without any means of transportation and encountering various monsters along the way, the actual travel speed of twenty people is not fast. The time taken to reach the walking speed in the surface world would be considered quite fast.

"What did those spies in Yuelong Town say before?"

As the group hurried along, Tianmu Lian asked.

"Sigh, you don't need to worry. What's the point of all this talking?" Kawasumi Itsuki glanced at the chat with obvious impatience and said unhappily.

"This concerns whether we can successfully encircle and annihilate Tsukikawa Shuu. It's not unreasonable to ask more questions, is it? What if something really goes wrong?" Amaki Ren frowned and said.

"Okay, okay, I'll show you the chat history, okay?"

Kawasumi Itsuki impatiently brought up his system interface and displayed the chat information to Amaki Ren.

Since it was time to travel, Tian Mulian couldn't slow down to take a closer look.

However, judging from the general content, there are indeed no problems, everything is under control, and the process is proceeding according to the previously set steps.

"Tell them not to make any rash moves, to lie in ambush first, and then we'll attack together!" Tianmu Lian said.
