Chapter 612: Keep Them, They Are Still Useful

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Jin State’s people rushed into the tent in a panic, their faces full of terror and their bodies covered in blood.

Xie Rui, who was about to die from the pain, almost jumped out of bed.

“How is that possible?”

The guard who came in wiped the blood off his face. The terror in his eyes was particularly conspicuous in the dimly lit tent. “That she-devil of Sky Alpha City is too terrifying. She killed almost all of us. I don’t know what weapon she was holding, but when it hit people, they wouldn’t be able to move. Your Highness, you should leave quickly. They’re about to kill their way here.”

Xie Rui didn’t want to believe that the thousands of men he brought with him had been killed by those nobodies in Sky Alpha City. Then again, his men would never lie to him.

“Your Highness, the mine may be important, but if you end up in danger, the gains will not make up for the losses. It’s better to leave first!”

Lord Li immediately came back to his senses and ordered his men to pack up and take Xie Rui away at once.

Deputy General Wang, who was secretly observing the situation, was so shocked by Su Ying’s killing rate that his expression changed drastically.

Deputy General, they really killed all the soldiers of the Jin State. What should we do?” Su Ying had told them to get the hell out of the northern wilderness. Now that the Jin State’s people had been dealt with, if they didn’t leave, would Su Ying let them off the hook?

“Have you sent a message to the General?”

“I’ve already sent a message back.”

“Decamp and retreat first. Retreat to a safe distance before setting up camp again. We’ll act according to the situation.” He didn’t come here to fight a war, but he also did not want to end up sacrificing himself without getting any benefits.

“Yes, Sir. I’ll proceed with the arrangements now.”

The Jin State’s soldiers did not dare to fight Tiger Might and his men until the end, so they could only retreat.

“City Lord, the Nan State’s side has also retreated.”

“Send someone to follow them and see if they have really left the northern wilderness. If not, then kill them all.” She had said that as long as they were willing to leave, she was prepared to forget what happened before. If they insisted on seeking death, she did not mind sending them on their way to the netherworld.

“Yes, City Lord.”

However, she did not intend to let Xie Rui off easily. Meng Zi and the others leaving the Tiger Base definitely had something to do with him. He still wanted to flee when he had planted old grudges? Dream on!

Su Ying blew her whistle, and a moment later, a pure black powerful steed galloped up to her.

When the powerful steed approached, Su Ying nimbly mounted the horse and went in pursuit of the retreating Jin State’s troops.

Tiger Might also brought his men and followed her.

“Don’t let them escape!”

“Yes, Sir!”

Xie Rui’s trusted aide took Xie Rui with him and fled as fast as he could. However, no matter how they ran, Su Ying and her group kept getting closer and closer.

“Stop them! Take the First Prince away!” When he saw that Su Ying was about to catch up, Lord Li pushed Xie Rui into one guard’s arms and raised his sword to stab Su Ying.

Su Ying, who was sitting on her horse, swung the electric baton in her hand and struck Lord Li’s head viciously. Lord Li heard the sound of his skull cracking, and his eyes were wide open as he fell to the ground and died.

Su Ying looked into the distance and slowly raised the tranquilizer gun in her hand.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! The guards escorting Xie Rui were shot and they fell to the ground.

The heavily injured Xie Rui fell to the ground when there was no one supporting him.

The remaining Jin State’s guards looked at Su Ying in horror as she approached.

“If you don’t want to die, scram now.”

The guards’ faces turned pale. They were already exhausted and could never be a match for Su Ying at all.

However, they did not dare to flee. If they fled back to the Jin State, only death awaited them there.

“Take them down.”

The bandit leader and the others gave a ferocious roar and dashed forward to engage those guards.

Those guards were already terrified, so how could they be these people’s match? Thus, they were taken down in the blink of an eye.

Su Ying’s horse trotted over to Xie Rui and she gazed down at him from her high vantage point.

Xie Rui’s wounds were hurting so much that he almost fainted. He raised his eyes to look at Su Ying and his heart almost jumped out of his chest in terror.

Let… let me go. I… I’ll bring my men and leave immediately.” He knew that Su Ying wouldn’t yield to force, so he had to use the soft approach. As long as he could walk out of this place alive, he would definitely think of a way to flatten this damned place and personally take Su Ying’s head!

The corners of Su Ying’s lips curled up in disdain. “It’s not like I didn’t give you a chance. Now you know fear? It’s too late.”

“Bring him back.”

“Yes, City Lord.”

Tiger Might led his men to pursue the remaining Jin State’s troops while Su Ying returned to their camp with Xie Rui.

After chasing away the people from the Jin and the Nan States, Su Ying immediately ordered her men to set up checkpoints around the mine and guard the entire mining area. The next thing they had to do was to start mining.

“Get those who are good at mining to come over tomorrow.”

“Yes, City Lord.”

It was not that simple to excavate a mine. If they relied solely on human labor, the risk would be too high and the process would be slow.

At night, while Tiger Might and the rest went to clean up the mess, Su Ying returned to her tent and entered the interspatial store.

She wanted to see if there were any tools in the interspatial store that could help with mining.

After rummaging for a while, she managed to find some items she could use. However, she was not in a hurry to take them out. She was not a professional miner, so she had to wait for those miner guys to have a discussion and review the specific implementation methods before making plans.

By the time Su Ying came out of her interspatial store, the sky outside was already bright.

“City Lord.”

As soon as she came out, Tiger Might’s voice rang out outside the tent.

“Come in.”

Tiger Might walked into the tent and was a little surprised to see that Su Ying was still wearing the bloodstained clothes from yesterday.

“What’s wrong?” Su Ying asked as she sat down on a chair.

“City Lord, we captured some Jin State’s people yesterday and interrogated them through the night. They said that they knew about the discovery of the mine in the northern wilderness because someone sent a letter to them. The First Prince of the Jin State sent people to investigate after receiving the news.”

Su Ying’s almond-shaped eyes darkened slightly. “There’s a spy.”

That’s right.” While Su Ying and her entourage were not around, Tiger Might and his men had also taken in a few people, but not many.

It’s our fault. City Lord, please punish us.”

Sky Alpha City was their stronghold. If there were spies inside, their internal structure could very likely be broken apart. This was indeed not a small problem.

“Do they know who sent them the message?”

Tiger Might shook his head. “They’re just the lowest-ranked pawns. Some of the news was just hearsay. They don’t know anything that’s too secretive.”

“How about Xie Rui?”

“He fainted after he was brought back.”

Take those people back to the city today and watch them closely. We’ll keep them since they are still useful. Launch an investigation to find out who’s the spy. You must dig this mole out.” Xie Rui had given them so much trouble. If she simply ended his life just like that, that would be letting him too easily. She would never let him die until she had squeezed him dry.

“Yes, City Lord.”

“Oh, right. Are Uncle Meng and the others also in the city now?”

“Yes. Back then, those invaders were trying to force their way into Tiger Base. Meng Zi and the others first led people to resist but later realized that they were no match for them. After luring the other party away, they immediately led everyone to retreat to Sky Alpha City.”

Su Ying nodded. “It’s good that they’re fine. Take these people back first.”

“Yes, City Lord..”
