77: Chapter 76: Hunting for Gold Face (Part 1) First Update

“Your Excellency—” Owen Bertram shouted towards Burning Hillock: “Our Lord Algernon is here in person, wishing to speak with you.

Please reveal yourself and meet with us.”

There was only dead silence in the Burning Hillock, no response.

Owen Bertram yelled a few more times, but the Golden Face Killing God still refused to reveal himself.

“Enough.” Jeffery Cooper called him back: “Don’t shout anymore.

If he doesn’t want to show himself, we shouldn’t force him.

We’re here to help, so don’t cause any unnecessary misunderstandings.”

Jeffery Cooper waved his hand: “Go back to the village.”

After their return, suddenly a Military Officer came running from outside the village: “Lord Algernon, another group of rogues is heading towards Extinct Village.

There are five people in their party, all cultivators.”

Jeffery Cooper’s gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow: “Vanessa, take Owen Bertram and go provide support.

Make sure to intercept them outside the village.”

Just as Vanessa was about to refuse, Jeffery Cooper coldly asked: “Vanessa, are you going to defy orders?”

Owen Bertram secretly pulled Vanessa’s sleeve and winked: hurry, let’s go.

Vanessa reluctantly accepted the order and left.

Vanessa was preoccupied with her thoughts, while Owen Bertram was casually curious, looking around as they left the village.

Vanessa sighed: “You’ve passed Horizon Bureau’s strictest inspections.

From now on, no one will stop you from entering or leaving the village.

You’ll have plenty of time to get a good look.”

Owen Bertram just smiled, not responding.

After some consideration, Vanessa said: “I’ll tell you some things so you won’t be clueless…

You need to be more vigilant in the future—Jeffery Cooper has thoroughly used you and then discarded you like trash.”

“Yesterday, you helped him draw out the Golden Face Killing God and learned some important information about Burning Hillock from him—before that, we knew nothing about Burning Hillock at all.”

“Today, Jeffery Cooper and his troops displayed their military prowess outside Burning Hillock, and you helped him determine that the Golden Face Killing God is fierce on the outside but weak on the inside; in fact, he doesn’t have the power to directly confront our army, so he never showed his face.”

“Next, Jeffery Cooper will launch an attack on Burning Hillock.

Whether it’s capturing the Golden Face Killing God or opening up Burning Hillock, none of these achievements will have anything to do with us—we’ve been led away by the fake intelligence.”

“I don’t care about these achievements, but you must.

Without them, you’ll still be a Trial Training General with no power to resist when Jeffery Cooper targets you.”

Worried, Vanessa carefully explained these matters to Owen Bertram.

She was preparing to remind him to be extra cautious when she looked up and found Owen Bertram staring at her in astonishment.

“What’s wrong?” Vanessa asked curiously.

“I didn’t expect you to understand these things…”

Vanessa snorted and said, “I’m still from a prestigious family after all…” She suddenly realized his implication, placed her hands on her hips and glared at him: “What do you mean by that?

Are you calling me stupid?

Does figuring this out really surprise you that much?”

Owen Bertram had accidentally revealed too much, so he quickly shrank his neck: “I didn’t mean it like that…” He then comforted and deceived: “But don’t worry, Jeffery Cooper won’t succeed.”

Having successfully changed the topic, Vanessa asked back: “Why are you so sure?”

Owen Bertram smiled mysteriously: “None of you know Burning Hillock as well as I do.

Trust me, Jeffery Cooper is in for a surprise.”

Vanessa’s eyes sparkled, and she clenched her fists and waved: “I’ve been looking forward to his downfall for a long time!”

Owen Bertram pointed ahead: “Let’s go, let’s do the interception mission diligently.

Hmm, I don’t think any cultivators will come.

This mission should be called ‘Mission to Watch a Play’.

Hehe.”

Up until now, everything had gone according to Owen Bertram’s predictions with Jeffery Cooper’s actions.

The moment Jeffery Cooper laid eyes on the Mechanical Dao Soldiers, greed must have taken root in his heart.

Outside Burning Hillock, he watched Vanessa and Owen Bertram leave, a triumphant expression in his eyes.

Fabian carefully observed and then signaled the troops to move!

Twenty Military Officers, carrying huge shields, stormed into the area of Burning Hillock.

They formed a formation, the Magical Instrument as their large shields surrounding them, constructing a mobile Iron fort.

But the moment they entered the Burning Hillock territory, they felt an intense heat squeezed into their bodies from all directions.

Before they could adapt to the heat, a crossbow arrow suddenly flew towards them.

With a snap, it penetrated the large shield and embedded itself straight into the forehead of the shield-bearing officer!

The officer stood stiffly, his eyes wide, as a trickle of blood slowly slid down from the wound.

Beneath the iron fort of the large shield, the other officers stared blankly at their comrade.

Time seemed to stand still until their comrade fell, and everything suddenly changed.

The sound of continuous crossbow arrows tore through the defense of the large shields like a downpour, the officers trembled with arrows embedded all over their bodies, and slowly collapsed.

Owen Bertram, of course, would provide armor-piercing arrows for the Bobo Sand Plate Shattering God Breaker.

Armor-piercing arrows crafted with Tier-4 Spiritual Flame indeed gave Jeffery Cooper a great surprise.

Everyone from the Horizon Bureau, standing outside the boundary, had their hearts pounding and faces of astonishment: before, they had only heard Owen Bertram talk about the power of these crossbow arrows, most of them didn’t think much of it, especially Jeffery Cooper.

He thought it was just a countryside cultivator bragging about his lack of experience.

Could such fast-firing crossbow arrows possibly exist in this world?

But when they personally faced the torrential power of these crossbow arrows, they realized that not only had Owen Bertram not exaggerated, but he had even underestimated the power of the arrows.

Owen Bertram would, of course, “downplay” the power of the arrows.

If he had told the truth, and they believed it, preparing thoroughly, his plan would have been much more difficult to execute.

At this moment, Owen Bertram and Vanessa had arrived at a watchtower outside the village.

Birds sang, insects chirped, and the sky was a vast azure blue – where were the “enemies”?-

Both of them were well aware of the situation and calmly stayed there.

Vanessa elbowed Owen Bertram: “Why are you so listless, almost falling asleep?”

“I’m just bored.” Owen Bertram certainly couldn’t tell her that he was secretly watching the Mechanical Dao Soldiers.

He marveled inwardly: How did you become a revered Lord, Jeffery Cooper?

You’re simply a master at sending people to their deaths—twenty in one go.

These twenty Military Officers were Jeffery Cooper’s elite troops, all with Heterotext Hierarchy cultivation.

It’s not easy to train such a team, that’s twenty precious Demon Beast Glyph Bones!

But now Jeffery Cooper didn’t have time to care about his losses.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he yelled: “Fabian!”

“I understand!” Fabian waved his hand again, and two more Prescotts under Jeffery Cooper’s command stood up.

The officers nearby stepped forward, stacking armor on them: a soft inner armor, wrapped in outer armor—all layers of armor connected by array patterns to strengthen the defense!

Magical Instrument shields also rose up and floated around them automatically to protect the wearer, and a defensive amulet hung around their necks as well…

With his lance leveled, Fabian pointed ahead, about to shout an order to charge when Jeffery Cooper suddenly spoke calmly: “Prescott, we have another set of that equipment.”
