The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Just when the situation seemed to be improving.

Suddenly, a large number of professionals appeared from all directions; judging from their armbands, they all bore the insignia of the city's garrison.

The group at the very front, whether real or fake bandits, suddenly experienced a large-scale collapse of the ground beneath their feet.

This is a trap set to entrap the enemy.

Moreover, its quality was clearly very high. During the short period of time that the ground collapsed, it even had an effect similar to a no-fly zone, and none of the mages who had the ability to fly were able to take off.

"stop!"

Song Gua stepped into the air and swept his spear horizontally, creating a rift between the formation and the crowd, stopping the people behind him from continuing to rush forward.

At this moment, Song Gua was not only the leader of the bandits, but also the backbone of this group in Shangjing City.

They're all bandits anyway.

"Hahaha! Bandits! Do you really think a rabble like you can stand against the Shi family!"

While ordering his men to continue the siege and lure away the star beasts, Shi Ji led his men in a surprise attack.

The Third Guard City is the territory of the Shi family.

Only they themselves know how many formations and traps they have set up around here.

Not only that, Shi Ji also summoned the other three garrison regiments from the Third Guard City.

Now, the Shi family, with a total of four thousand people, has completely surrounded the real and fake bandit gang, which numbers no more than three hundred.

Worse still, those who fell into the trap are now all hostages of the Shi family.

Numerous light chain towers rose from the ground around the pitfall trap. These were a type of defensive tower, but not an offensive one; rather, they were control towers.

The defensive towers fired long, glowing bolts that bound targets and suppressed their attributes.

The people who fell into the landslide are now all suspended upside down in mid-air by these chains of light.

"Put me down! You bastards! A family of corrupt officials! I am from the Huang family of Beijing! If you dare to lay a finger on me, my great-grandfather will grind you to dust!"

"I am Zhu Xin, the potential king of the Yanhuang Alliance! Who dares to arrest me! Who dares to hurt me!"

"I am Gou Bi, the rising star of the Gou clan! Third place in the Rookie King Competition! By daring to arrest me, you are going against the Gou clan! I declare you're finished!"

"I am Tong Zhan! The rising star of the Tong clan! The little tyrant of the capital! You dare touch me!"

So, it's clear whether the people who were captured were real bandits or fake bandits.

The bandits were seasoned veterans, and they were very adept at using the tactic of the enemy leading monsters away.

It's clearly a ploy to lure the enemy deep into our territory.

Therefore, the bandits were very cautious and did not follow too closely.

It's not that bandits aren't righteous.

Ghost Brother and Nanfeng kept reminding them not to follow too closely and to send out their pets to scout ahead.

But I couldn't persuade them otherwise.

Once the group from Beijing put on the hoods, they went completely mad and were unstoppable. It was as if they weren't chasing a star beast, but a group of naked beauties... or handsome men.

Song Gua's move failed to stop them, only keeping his own people outside the trap formation.

"Brothers~ save me or I'll self-destruct~"

Among the group of talented people from the capital who were arrested, one was actually a real bandit.

Four.

After checking the information on the local area network, Ghost Brother immediately gripped his machete and prepared to rush over.

"Don't be afraid, Sitiao! Your brother will save you!"

Nanfeng quickly grabbed him.

"Are you stupid?! Just let the old thief switch places!"

Brother Gui gets flustered when he cares too much.

"Shijo, why are you following so closely? Are you that agile? Didn't we say to keep a safe distance?!"

Four legs bound by chains of light, hanging upside down in mid-air, shrugging their shoulders.

"Brother Gui, I wasn't even involved in your battle. I was doing a hundred-ring quest for city building, gathering herbs, when I suddenly got arrested. Sigh..."

These four are the mainstays of the treatment sequence and should not be abandoned.

The positions of Song Gua were swapped, and the four were moved back to Glory City. Then, a cannon fodder group was brought over from the main camp to replace the four who were controlled.

When the arrested group revealed their identities, Shi Ji remained unmoved.

"Don't give me that! Everyone knows you bandits are the biggest liars! You think I'd believe you? I'm not falling for your tricks!"

Someone shouted.

"You fucking take off my hood and let me see! Then you'll know if I'm lying or not!"

Shi Ji sneered.

"Hmph, don't worry, I'll pick them, but not now."

Shi Ji's gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Gui Ge, who was wearing a West Wind hood.

Brother Gui is very famous in the eyes of various forces.

For the past six months, in Jiangnan City, all the resource battles and guild wars among the bandits have been led by Brother Gui.

He, Xifeng, had a relatively low profile within the main camp, but to outsiders, he was practically the second-in-command among the bandits.

"You! Listen to me! I know you bandits are ruthless; if you can't win, you'll just self-destruct!"

But don't forget, self-destruct is a skill, and once you're under the silence effect, you can forget about using it!

These defensive towers that control your allies are called Silence Chain Towers. I don't need to repeat what they do, right?

The bandits must agree to the Shi family's demands, or I will expose the identities of all your accomplices one by one!

Then, slowly torture him, slice by slice, bit by bit!

Knowing that the four had been replaced, Ghost Brother immediately became arrogant.

"You think silence works on us bandits?"

Shi Ji was taken aback.

Could bandits be that powerful?

Can silence lead to self-destruction?

Of course you can. All Song Gua needs to do is activate a cannon fodder character in advance, and then replace him at the exact time of his self-destruction.

Ghost Brother whispered, "Old thief, our men are all safe. What do we do now? Attack the Shi family, or retreat?"

The cannon fodder hanging upside down: "West Wind, am I pretty?"

Song Gua also lowered his voice, "These people from the capital are saved, after all, they helped us."

"Given the current situation between the enemy and ourselves, unless you can recall all the clones scattered in various places, it will be difficult to launch a counterattack. Otherwise, it will be difficult to win."

"We don't need to fight, just stall for time."

Ghost Brother started shouting at Shiji.

"What demands do you want us to agree to before you release them?"

Shi Ji snorted coldly.

"The entire bandit force has withdrawn from Glory City and compensated us with 30,000 reputation points!"

Ghost Bro chuckled.

"Damn it, we bandits are always the ones giving orders, and you dare to ask us for things? You really think you're something special?"

Shi Ji pointed at one of the "bandits" and sneered.

"You bandits always wear your faces covered, isn't it because you're afraid of your identities being revealed? Well then, let's start with him. Men, prepare for a live broadcast!"

Song Gua was having a hard time suppressing his laughter at the moment.

Thankfully, I was wearing a head covering.

The Shi family is even going to do a live stream; they're probably afraid of not leaving any evidence.

Shiji stepped onto a flying device and arrived next to the bandit he had chosen, placing his hand on the bandit's hood.

"West Wind, are you really not going to agree to the Shi family's demands?"

"Do whatever you want, we bandits are never afraid of our identities being revealed!"

"Still trying to deny it even when you're about to die! Are you ready for the live broadcast?!"

Someone below was filming with their phone.

"alright!"

Shi Ji sneered.

"Today, let the Shi family expose the true face of the bandits! Let's start from here!"
