Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

The next morning, Luo Xuan went out for breakfast as usual, and also did some exercise.

After having breakfast at the familiar snack street, Luo Xuan strolled over to the nearby park.

Luo Xuan planned to exercise for a while before going shopping.

This park is a typical neighborhood park. It is not large, but it can meet the basic needs of nearby residents for taking their children for a walk.

There are also some basic fitness facilities and fitness trails in the park, which can fully meet Luo Xuan's needs for simple physical activities.

After jogging for twenty minutes to warm up, Luo Xuan then worked out on the exercise equipment for ten minutes.

Although it was just some low-intensity activities, Luo Xuan still broke out in a sweat due to the hot summer weather.

After exercising, Luo Xuan felt very comfortable and stretched as he walked toward a nearby supermarket.

The instant noodles and bread that Luo Xuan had previously stored at home were almost gone, so he needed to replenish them this time.

Luo Xuan selected a box of classic flavored instant noodles, then grabbed a bag of sausages and bread. After paying, he carried them home.

Shortly after Luo Xuan stepped out of the supermarket, he felt his phone vibrate continuously in his pocket.

At first, Luo Xuan didn't pay much attention. In addition, he was carrying a lot of items and it was inconvenient to use his phone, so he decided to take the things home and put them away before checking the information.

Unexpectedly, the phone's vibration alerts not only didn't decrease, but actually became more frequent.

Luo Xuan vaguely sensed that something big might have happened. With no other choice, he found an open space, put the things down at his feet, and took out his phone to check.

As Luo Xuan took out his phone, it continued to vibrate.

As soon as I took out my phone, a series of message notifications popped up impatiently.

After quickly scanning through the general information, Luo Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

His premonition came true; something serious had indeed happened.

Luo Xuan tried to remain calm, then carefully reviewed all the messages in the group, and finally figured out the whole story.

The gist of the story is that Ye Cheng and the other two, who were called on by Zhao Wenjie to go on a mission, encountered an accident during the mission.

Third-tier lord Ye Cheng died on the spot, and second-tier lords Lin Mufeng and Ding Qisong were also severely injured.

If it weren't for the timely support from the Liangyi Division, Lin Mufeng and Ding Qisong might have met with misfortune.

Zhao Wenjie felt very guilty about this in the group chat.

Shen Ce was extremely agitated, repeatedly asking Zhao Wenjie why he hadn't protected Ye Cheng and the other two.

On the contrary, Lin Mufeng and Ding Qisong were speaking up for Zhao Wenjie.

"Don't say that, Xiao Shen. Captain Zhao did his best, and the tasks he assigned to us were relatively easy," Lin Mufeng said.

"But I never expected... or maybe it's our own fault for being incompetent!"

Ding Qisong also spoke up, saying, "I've dragged everyone down with me! I'm the one who caused Brother Ye Cheng's death!"

It is clear that Ding Qisong feels the most guilty about Ye Cheng's death.

Through the conversations of the others, Luo Xuan understood the origin of the tragedy.

Ultimately, it's all the fault of the Xie Ling Cult.

As mentioned before, the Xie Ling Cult is likely to target Su City in the future, so the Liangyi Division branch in Su City has been on guard in secret.

The last mission was when the Liangyi Division accidentally intercepted information from the Xieling Cult and learned that they had infiltrated the outskirts of Su City.

In order to prevent the other party from entering the city and causing irreparable losses and damage, Director Jiang Chen decided to take the initiative.

The Liangyi Division mobilized its elite forces, even calling on peripheral forces like Ye Cheng and his two companions, all in an effort to achieve a decisive victory in one fell swoop.

To everyone's surprise, this was a conspiracy by the Xie Ling Cult.

They had already arranged for people to infiltrate Su City and then deliberately sent out false information that was intercepted by the Liangyi Division.

To make the message more credible, the cult deliberately sacrificed several members, including a leader.

However, even though the opponent had laid an ambush first, Ryougi still managed to inflict heavy damage on the opponent despite the unfavorable situation.

However, the Two Realms also paid a heavy price.

Zhao Wenjie himself was injured, Deputy Director Ren Xiaoyuan was seriously injured, and almost all the other staff members were injured.

With their superior strength and close cooperation, along with the assistance of other local forces in Suzhou, the Suzhou Liangyi Division withstood the enemy's ambush and turned the tables on them.

Apart from a few small fry who escaped, the members of the Xie Ling Cult who attacked Suzhou, including the spies who had infiltrated Suzhou earlier, were wiped out in one fell swoop.

It was a resounding victory, but also a Pyrrhic one.

"What exactly happened? How did Brother Ye sacrifice himself?" Luo Xuan asked.

Back then, everyone was dreaming about the future in the group chat, and we wanted to become stronger together.

Unexpectedly, a sudden turn of events led to Ye Cheng's permanent demise.

Luo Xuan wanted to know more about the details of Ye Cheng's death, both for the sake of a possible opportunity for revenge and to remind himself so that he could have a reference to make a choice if he encountered a similar situation in the future.

"Brother Ye Cheng was fine originally; he's stronger than all of us," Lin Mufeng said haltingly, describing what he knew of what had happened.

"However, after being severely damaged by the Ryougi Division, some of the remaining members of the Xieling Society resorted to desperate measures and launched suicide attacks, while others tried to break out of the encirclement."

"To prevent the enemy from escaping, Ye Cheng, who was the strongest fighter in the vicinity at the time, took the initiative to step forward and block the enemy."

"At first, everything was fine. After a fierce battle, the Xieling Cult's remaining fighting force was only so-so. Brother Ye, together with the rest of us, even gained the upper hand."

"But for some reason, the enemy's strength suddenly increased significantly, and the ranged units in the back row suddenly started focusing fire on them."

"I was targeted by the enemy, and Brother Ye pushed me desperately to save me, but... but the price was that Brother Ye himself was shot in the leg with an arrow."

"And then..."

Lin Mufeng didn't finish speaking, but Luo Xuan could already imagine it.

On such a brutal battlefield, being shot in the leg meant a significant impact on mobility, especially with the enemy having a large number of ranged units focusing their fire.

"Let me add some details," Ding Qisong said at this moment. "Lin Mufeng may not have seen it, but I saw that the other side took out several pieces of equipment, which greatly increased the power of their ranged units."

"Looking back, this must have been a trump card prepared by our opponents, meant to catch us off guard."

"I happened to glance at it and saw that one of them seemed to be called 'Pale Bone Bow'."
