"Bandits have entered the city!!"

The nightmare for the Shi family's garrison regiment has begun.

Those who had just rushed out of the city gate and were frantically attacking and taunting at the edge of the barrier were no match for the bandits' charge.

Some were trampled to death, some were run over to death, and some were killed by skills flying everywhere.

After the bandits entered the city, they quickly cleared out the guards on the city walls.

If the city walls weren't so impenetrable, the bandits would have torn them down too. The phrase "locusts crossing the land" doesn't even begin to describe them; it's more like "huskies crossing the land"!

The garrison quickly retreated and regrouped in the inner city.

Of course, there are also third-tier professionals in the Shi family's garrison.

However, those willing to do such arduous tasks as long-term garrison duty are mostly ordinary third-tier soldiers with low family status and average combat strength.

Most of them have reached that position simply by getting older.

Age has begun to affect their combat effectiveness; their aging bodies can no longer support many tactical maneuvers or the execution of highly difficult skills.

With the bandits' morale now high, the Shi family's morale has plummeted.

Ordinary third-tier professionals cannot play a decisive role in turning the tide of battle on such a large-scale battlefield.

Once everyone reaches Lv40, even the cannon fodder bandits are still S-rank professionals, possessing considerable strength in the second job advancement.

Not to mention the other bandits above cannon fodder level, they could easily overwhelm ordinary level 3 bandits.

In addition, a large number of summoned creatures provide assistance.

Now, the real advantage lies with the bandits!

Therefore, the Song hexagram did not allow Jiuwan to use the fusion of the balance scale.

After all, Yue Sheng was still overseeing the battle, and he was worried that Yue Sheng would recognize the power of the Dark Artifact.

This kind of shady stuff should be used discreetly, not openly, hehehe...

It was precisely because Yue Sheng was overseeing the battle that Song Gua did not intend to personally lead the charge in this battle.

For some reason, Yue Sheng seemed to be suspicious of him.

Therefore, Song Gua avoided appearing in front of Yue Sheng as a bandit.

In the dimly lit underground air-raid shelter of Jiangnan City, Song Gua sat on a tattered sofa, his elbows resting on his thighs and his hands crossed, supporting his chin.

"kill."

The bandits entered the city for only three reasons.

It took the lives of the family members and the dog.

The feud with the Shi family will ultimately end with one side completely collapsing.

However, the Shi family, located in Xichuan City, not only has a complex web of power, but also has many connections in the officialdom.

With only three thousand bandits, Song Gua's attempt to eradicate them completely was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

But for now, we can do what we can do right now.

That means crushing the Shi family's forces in Glory City until they have no chance! Crushing them until they're terrified! Crushing them until they dare not interfere with the bandits' activities in Glory City anymore!

Some people will behave themselves after being scolded.

Some people will behave if you beat them up.

But some people, even if you don't value their lives, they won't behave.

The Shi family is the third type.

If afterwards, the Shi family were to send experts to Glory City to retaliate.

No problem, Song Gua can just lead all the bandits to rob his warehouse in Xichuan City!

Wherever I have a clone, I can lead an army there with a single thought, no matter how far or wide. Can your family do that?

This abnormal mobility means that when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires out, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue!

If the Shi family were to wage a full-scale war against the bandits, they would ultimately be utterly destroyed.

The bandits' elusive nature became widely known after the battle of Nanshui City.

Unless the Shi family is foolish, they wouldn't risk the safety of their headquarters in Xichuan City for a trivial matter like competing with bandits for prestige.

Inside the Third Guard City, blood flowed like rivers, and corpses littered the ground.

The bandits and the Shi family's garrison engaged in close combat, fighting to the death.

"Don't kill me! I'm just here on garrison duty! I'm innocent!"

"Bullshit! You were the one shooting arrows most enthusiastically from the city wall just now, what the hell are you pretending for! I'll chop you down!"

"Don't kill me! I really didn't attack you! I'm just maintaining the formation! I'm innocent!"

"The formation you maintained killed over a dozen of our brothers, and you still claim innocence?! I'll chop you down!"

"Don't kill me! I'm just an accountant, I'm not even a combatant!"

"Hmm...you're not lying. But we bandits aren't saints. Blame it on you for associating with the Shi family! I'll chop you down!"

The casualty ratio between the two sides was extremely high.

The Shi family, with an average of ten people, couldn't even exchange for one bandit's head.

Even if they manage to switch places, this bandit will still self-destruct, taking another wave of enemies with him.

There are three factors contributing to the large difference in combat strength.

The bandits were well-equipped, thanks to the Shi family's warehouse. Even the Shi family members themselves might not be able to use such good equipment.

The bandits have exceptional professional talent. Consider that Yunshan City produces one S-level professional every year, which is worthy of extensive media coverage. The fact that all the bandits are S-level professionals is an absurd concept.

The bandits were in high spirits, needless to say. A bunch of people who didn't care about their lives were fighting you to the death. In terms of morale, the Shi family had already suffered a crushing defeat.

Song Gua was still not entirely satisfied with this result.

Just as he was preparing to send all his officers to the battlefield to speed up the progress.

A sudden change has occurred!

We will never know what kind of shady deal was made between the Dark Mirror and the Dark Cross.

In conclusion, judging from the results...

The Dark Cross agreed to consume its own primordial soul power to generate a large amount of life force for the Dark Bronze Mirror to use—this life force is not the same concept as the power of the origin of life.

The cross had previously been transformed into a dark bronze mirror, absorbing the life force of over a thousand members of the Shi family's garrison.

In addition, there is this wave of strong support.

The Dark Copper Mirror obtained enough raw materials to create a mirror image.

What's missing now is the "mold".

And the mold is right in front of you.

"Come on, it's time for my performance! Show time!"

Master Yan leaped out of the bushes, holding a whisk in one hand and a dark bronze mirror in the other.

He spun and jumped with his eyes closed.

It's like a shamanistic ritual.

The clear sky, which had been cloudless for miles, was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and a cold wind rose from all sides.

The bandits and the Shi family, blinded by rage, were completely oblivious to the changes around them.

Yue Sheng, who was monitoring the battlefield five kilometers away, sensed something was amiss.

"Zi Yuan, what's going on with this aura?"

Zi Yuan's rant.

"We're professionals, not cultivators. We don't have divine sense. How the hell am I supposed to sense something like 'aura'?"

Yue Sheng frowned.

He certainly didn't have any ability to sense auras; it was just an intuition.

Suddenly, above the layers of dark clouds above the Third Guard City, a huge bronze mirror broke through the clouds.

It is so large that a single city cannot contain it.

The jet-black mirror, with its gleaming surface, reflected everyone in the city.

"What is it?"

"Holy crap! What the hell?! That mirror is huge?!"

"Wow~ wouldn't it be awesome to use this mirror to do my makeup?"

The appearance of the enormous bronze mirror covering the entire city of the guard caused both sides in the battle to stop, staring in awe at this spectacle.

Everyone noticed.

The reflection in the mirror is partially disappearing.

Those who disappeared were the Shi family members; those who remained were all bandits!

Ghost Brother felt a pang of heart palpitation.

"You old scoundrel, I have a bad feeling about this!"

The south wind also said.

"I feel like we need to get out of here. This thing... it's a damn Dark Artifact!"

When the handle of the mirror also emerged from the dark clouds, everyone saw the iconic golden Eye of Horus on it!

Song Gua immediately contacted three curious men and asked them to find three VIPs to gather information.

"What is this big mirror? A dark mirror?"
