294 THE RAID ON THE CITY FORCE-“When are we going to begin?” Li Meng asked Lion Ti.
“The scouts have returned and we have managed to confirm the location where the city force’s campsite. You will be escorted by one of the scout teams to the location.” Lion Ti’s word was accompanied by a man in a black sneak-suit who appeared. ” This is the leader of the scout’s team. He will be assisting you in every possible way he can.”
“I thank the vice-leader to have enough faith in me. I will show you that your belief’s very not unfounded. I will make the city force bear a loss they will remember and make them sink back to their stupid hole.”
“My trust in you doesn’t matter. Since our leaders have decided to show their support, so will I. I wish you good luck for your expedition.”
“I wished myself lucky too.” Li Meng turned around and left to meet the group.
“The men we have chosen to accompany you for the mission are some the best fighters among the Mad-lions. They are not only incredibly talented but extremely skilful. Make sure to bring them back alive.”
The group soon came into sight, but Li Meng was shocked. He could see a group of pathetic looking people, who didn’t look skilful at all. All of them were in the early Qi King level, and they weren’t even carrying any decent weapon.
“So this is what you meant by skilful peoples.” LI Meng commented.
“Do we have a problem in here?” Long Ti asked with a mocking grin on his face.
.....
” Not at all. I will manage with them. All you need to do is wait for the good news.” Li Meng ordered the group to follow him.

Crimson Lord world-
“What is your plan for this battle?”
“I think it’s time to use the latest version of our Qi bombs. I was thinking of using them in future, but it seems I am going to take a good amount of loss today.”
“Even if you hand those bombs out, the most each can do is seriously injure a group of early Qi King level. All the fighters within the city troupe are of intermediate Qi king and better.”
“That is the exact reason why I said you to learn from my actions. If you can’t overcome a hurdle with quality, you still have the option of using quantity.”
“Do you understand the amount required? You would need to a lot of the bombs to do some considerable damage.”
“I am thinking about using a fifth on the city forces.”. LonG tao replied.
“Are you insane? A fifth ould be enough to annihilate a group of advanced QI Kings in an instant.”
“Exactly. I need the city forces to learn their place. They aren’t allowed to stay within the Taiwan mountains. They would pose a hurdle to Sheng Luo, and I don’t want it. The Crimson Dominators needs to concentrate on the Mad-lions for now. Once Sheng Luo breaks through the Qi Emperor level and takes the inheritance, he would take care of the city forces by himself.”
“Good idea. I guess we need to prepare the amount required.”
“Take out half of the whole storage.” The Keeper instantly turned around to face Long Tao.
“What would you do with half of the Qi bombs?”
“I am not only planning to take care of the city forces. The Mad-lions needs to be taught a lesson.”
“But why are you taking such drastic steps?”
“I initially wanted to control the group of fighters and scouts accompanying me and unleash a small massacre with the mad-lions for fun, but it seems that would be coming to fruition since these lousy bastards would get themselves killed. I can only use them to plant the bombs and display a firework to the Mad-lion group.”
“That is some firework we are talking about.”
“Have all my avatars within the Crimson Lord world come out and spread through the path. Half of them will take care of any scout following us. The other half will be in charge of the group present here and taking care of the city forces.”
The Keeper nodded.
..................
The City force’s campsite-
“When shall we commence our next attack. We have already plundered and taken control of five bandits groups in the eastern borders. The city has taken control over these five areas.”
“Our soldiers are exhausted from the continuous battles. We need to rest for a bit. I say we delay the next attack by a day.” One of the leaders spoke up.
“We can’t lose this momentum. Although the forces are exhausted, their spirits are at an all-time high. This momentum is going to help us win another battle or two. We can have the rest after that. We need to make use of our resources.”
“I want to have a vote. Those who wish for the expedition to continue to raise their hands.” More than half of the leaders raised their hands.
“I guess the next plan of action is decided. We will be attacking at dawn. A new group of enemies will also be waiting for us.”
“IS that news from our scouts?”
“An informant of mine came up to me with the news. The Mad-lions seems to have sent a group to lay an ambush for us within the path. They are supposed to attack us within the creek.”
“Is the source trustworthy?” One of the leaders asked.
“I have personally trained and nurtured him. He is the most loyal followers of mine within the bandit group. I trust his words since he reports everything he hears.”
“What if the enemy is using your follower to lure us into a trap?”
“I said he is one of my followers, not all there is.” The vice-leader of the independent association laughed with a cruel smile.
” I guess the vice-leader has planned for this expedition for a long time. The enemy wouldn’t see this coming.”
............................
“I hadn’t expected this? There was a mole capable enough of learning about the expedition. The vice-leader seems to have some deep pockets and high capability to have managed to done something like that.” The Keeper commented.
“I don’t think it is the vice leader’s achievement. I think this was set up by the Mad-lions. The followers he is talking about should be someone from the Mad-lions who is portraying as his follower.”
“So someone is playing double agent here.”
“I also have a premonition that the vice-leader is not the one with actual control. There should be someone helping him from behind the scene. An advanced Qi King isn’t capable of such a huge feat.”
“What are you suppose to do now?”
“We follow the plan. There can be as many moles as possible. My plans aren’t known to anybody. Tonight will be a great night for the city forces. They would never forget this.”
..........................
Later that night-
While the camp was deep in sleep, multiple figures came out of their tents and went into the forest. The awkward thing about these people was the fact that they were moving as if they were being manipulated by someone.
A group of people appeared in front of them holding large boxes.
The group just received the boxes and returned to the campsite. Once there, they began to spread out and go from one tent to another placing small loads of spheres in and out of the tents.
Soon enough all the spheres were placed in various locations, except for one box. The group sneakily approached the main tent where the meeting was being held. The leaders were still busy planning their next move for the upcoming battle. The figures just placed the remaining boxes around the tent, while slowly spreading the contents around.
..........................
Within the main tent-
The vice leader of the independent cultivator association was busy talking to the man accompanying him. Although the man looked like a subordinate, there was something amiss about him.
“Are you sure about the next move sir?” The vice-leader asked in a low voice.
“I am positive. Yous should just attack the group that is laying the ambush. They are constituted of weaklings.”
Just when the figure was about to say something more, he suddenly felt a moment outside the tent.
“Who the fuck is in there?” The man waved his hand and grabbed the air in front of him. Soon enough a figure appeared within the view, injured and suffocated.” Who are you?”
“That is one of my men.” One of the leaders spoke up. He then looked at the man and asked. ” Why were you sneaking around the tent.” To his surprise, the man didn’t answer.
The man beside the vice-leader looked serious and began to operate his qi when the injured man gave out a brilliant smile. He looked the everyone around and opened his mouth.
“Boom.”
Every single sphere blasted apart.
....................
The calm night sky was suddenly shaken by a loud bang within the middle of the forest. Li Meng who was standing far away from the place saw the whole place light up one after the other and said with an appreciative smile.
“That is one beautiful firework I created.”
