Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 299 Attack
Xu Shen was stunned. Is this... a test?
Or just a simple inquiry?
You can't blame Xu Shen for thinking too much. It's really hard to guess what the Queen Ant is thinking. Especially the matter of Xu Hai, made Xu Shen even more wary of the Queen Ant. After all, she was a woman who didn't keep her word...
"I think that since the Night Rat King is not in the city right now, we can send out troops overnight to launch a surprise attack on the Nightingale District, find his lair where his troops are stored, and annihilate all his subordinates!"
Xu Shen pretended to think and said, "In this case, even if the Night Rat King comes back, he will be fighting alone. At that time, we will assist him and cooperate with His Highness to ambush and kill him. This will be the safest way."
The queen ant's eyes flickered slightly.
Overnight surprise attack?
She stared at Xu Shen without saying anything, as if she was thinking about whether Xu Shen's plan was feasible.
Nasefani, who was standing next to her, glanced at the queen ant and seemed to have guessed her thoughts . She said to Xu Shen:
"Although your plan is good, how can you be sure that the Night Rat King has not returned at this moment? What if he comes back just after you leave? Wouldn't our surprise attack be a head-on confrontation?"
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at her:
"Without clear intelligence, no one can be 100% sure of the battlefield situation. We have to take a gamble. What if he doesn't come back and the surprise attack works? Isn't that a huge profit? As for the situation you mentioned, it's also a bad one. Besides, sooner or later we will have to fight a desperate battle with the Night Rat King. How can we be afraid of a mere rat?"
Nasefani was stunned and speechless, and didn't say anything else.
Of course, she knew what Xu Shen was thinking, she just asked this question on purpose.
"If there is a surprise attack, are you willing to take the lead and command the six armies?" The queen ant stared at Xu Shen and said.
Xu Shen said without thinking: "Of course, I am willing to serve you with all my heart and soul!"
But I was secretly .
If he really chose a surprise attack, his conspiracy with the Night Rat King would be affected.
At that time, it will all depend on his performance and timing. There will be many variables, and he is not even a king. No one can guarantee that under such variables, he will not end up in the worst situation.
If you only think about the good thing that both of them will suffer and you will reap the benefits, you might as well raise your pillow higher and have a sweet dream.
Seeing Xu Shen agreed so readily, the Queen Ant looked at him deeply, then slowly withdrew her gaze and said, "Although the surprise attack is a good idea, the victory or defeat of this battle still depends mainly on the Night Rat King."
"If we wipe out all his subordinates, it would alert them and make them retreat."
"This man is as timid as a mouse, just like his name, and his whereabouts are secretive. If he is determined to escape, even I will find it difficult to stop him."
Seeing that the Queen Ant had given up the idea, Xu Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He didn't expect that it was the Night Rat King's own cowardly attribute that took effect.
"The others are nothing. Once the Night Rat King dies, they will all surrender."
The queen ant said, "Wait half a month, and then we'll make an ambush plan."
Xu Shen was stunned. Half a month?
Why wait half a month?
Could it be that the queen ant will be able to find other helpers in half a month?
Regardless, this is important information.
Xu Shen nodded, appearing to be extremely submissive.
The queen ant waved her hand and said, "Retreat. You have made great contributions in this dangerous exploration. Although the intelligence you obtained is limited, you will be crowned with a great rank after this battle."
Xu Shen thought of the city commander mentioned earlier, and his face showed excitement. He quickly said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
After saying that, seeing that the queen ant had no intention of saying anything else, he slowly stood up and left.
After exiting the hall and walking for a distance, when there was no one around, the joy on Xu Shen's face slowly faded and his brows furrowed.
The Queen Ant asked me to explore the Nightingale Area. Now that I have obtained the intelligence, I choose to postpone the attack for half a month. What is my intention?
Then what is the meaning of my own exploration?
After all, the timeliness of information has expired in half a month!
After leaving the Snow Palace, Xu Shen took a car back to the Black Light District.
Along the way, Xu Shen paid close attention to his surroundings. The queen ant did not follow him from the deep ruins, which meant that she did not suspect him.
That night.
Xu Shen was resting in the Sun Temple built in the Black Light Sect. He sat at his desk, wondering whether he should write a letter to inform the Night Rat King of the news. The seven-day ambush plan they had previously discussed now only had three days left.
The queen ant lives for half a month.
Get the first move?
At this time, a gust of wind blew in from the window.
Xu Shen withdrew his thoughts, glanced at him, and his expression suddenly turned cold. He said, "Since you are here, come in."
As expected, he can see me... The Night Rat King's eyes were slightly stern. Xu Shen returned from the Snow Palace. He came that night to find out the information in Xu Shen's hands, and at the same time he also had a bit of a tentative intention.
After all, Xu Shen did not have the aura of a king, only the Ruins Beast, but Xu Shen could see him, and he entered the deep Ruins Realm without the help of the Ruins Beast.
This guy must be a hidden king. No wonder he was able to hide in front of the queen ant without being discovered.
The Night Rat King walked out from behind a stone in the deep ruins outside the window, descended into reality, walked into Xu Shen's study, stepped on the fluffy and soft gray felt carpet, turned around and said, "What did you talk about when you met the Queen Ant today? Did she suspect you?"
"If you come a few more times, she might get suspicious."
Xu Shen rolled his eyes slightly and sat on the chair with no intention of getting up: "I will inform you if there is any news. What do you mean by monitoring me?"
"I'm not monitoring you. It was you who said you were going to report the news today, so of course I had to come and find out." The Night Rat King said unhappily. Naturally, he would not admit that he had sent people to infiltrate the believers under Xu Shen.
With so many followers, it would be easy for him to insert someone in.
Xu Shen snorted coldly, and without further investigation, he said: "I was just about to inform you that the Queen Ant said that she would ambush you in half a month. Today I originally suggested that she launch a surprise attack overnight to eliminate your subordinates, but she refused for fear of alerting the enemy. Maybe she has other ideas..."
"oh?"
The Night Rat King's eyes flickered, "Half a month? That's a long time, are you sure?"
Xu Shen understood the Night Rat King's thoughts. Half a month was too long and difficult to predict. To be honest, it was a bit unrealistic for the Queen Ant to make such long-term considerations in such an emergency situation, unless she had strong reinforcements that would take half a month to arrive.
"Maybe she suspects you and said that on purpose to numb us?" asked the Night Rat King.
Xu Shen did not deny it, and nodded, "It is indeed possible."
The Night Rat King suddenly felt troubled. It would be a headache if the Queen Ant saw through all this and used Xu Shen as a counter-espionage plan.
Xu Shen saw the uneasy look on the Night Rat King's face and thought of the Queen Ant's words. He felt that his judgment was correct. This Night Rat King was even more cautious than him and was indeed as timid as a mouse.
"Anyway, this is the situation, you think about it." Xu Shen gave him the right to choose. Anyway, if he said too much, it would be wrong and he would be suspected.
The Night Rat King pondered for a while and said, "Let's follow our plan. No matter whether she is real or fake, we can't wait for half a month."
"Okay." Xu Shen nodded.
"The secret guard's head..." the Night Rat King reminded.
"I'll give it to you in two days."
"good."
The Night Rat King didn't say anything more. He turned around, took a step forward, and disappeared from Xu Shen's sight.
Xu Shen saw that the Night Rat King had disappeared without a trace. It seemed that what the Queen Ant said was right. The Night Rat King was indeed very capable of escaping.
The next day.
Xu Shen received news that the amount of purifiers distributed from the Mother Queen District to each district had been reduced.
The inside information coming from the Queen Mother Area is that the Queen Ant is stockpiling purifiers in preparation for the upcoming war, which is an important strategic resource for the upcoming war.
Xu Shen felt that the Queen Ant's actions were somewhat unpredictable. Using the Purifying Agent at this time, wasn't that forcing people to rebel?
If some forces are hesitant under the temptation of the Night Rat King, won’t they immediately jump into the arms of the Night Rat King after hearing such news?
What is she thinking?
Lou Haiyin, whom Xu Shen sent to the Snow Palace, brought back news that the supply of purifying agents in other areas had been reduced, but the supply of purifying agents in the Black Light Area was still as usual. This was a reward for Xu Shen.
However, the information provided is extremely confidential and is transmitted secretly.
It seems that the previous performance did have some benefits... Xu Shen thought to himself, and some doubts in his heart were slightly relieved.
But the purifying agent only applies to the black light area as usual, and the sleepless area is also under his secret control. The queen ant must know about this, but she did not give the sleepless area the same treatment. Could this be a warning?
Xu Shen was too lazy to think about it. The war could start at any time anyway, so his belongings were dispensable.
The key is to survive.
Xu Shen asked Lou Haiyin to continue going to the Snow Palace to inquire about the news of the secret guards, and it would be best if he could secretly contact the two secret guards from last time.
On the other side, he released Hai Jue and Ling Lu.
Let them return to Longyuan Town and continue to make the purifying agent.
During the days when they were integrated into his body, the large number of corpses of Xu beasts hunted by the Xu Secret Bureau and the garrison troops also needed to be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise they would rot over time, and the effectiveness of being converted into Xu Purifying Agent would be reduced.
Now the Purifying Agent can no longer hold Xu Shen back, and he can be self-sufficient.
After injecting himself with six tubes of high-grade purifying agent, Xu Shen felt that he was one step closer to his limit. With only three to five more days' supply, he would be able to reach perfection.
This made him look forward to it. Only by experiencing it personally would he know what it felt like to reach the extreme state.
I heard that only after experiencing the extreme state, one can understand how great and unattainable the king is.
After practicing the secret art of overlapping waves for a while, Xu Shen went to the Xu Secret Bureau.
The Minotaur wanted to follow Hai Jue to Long Yuan Town, but was kept by Xu Shen. Otherwise, he would feel a little insecure being alone with Hei Xue.
Xu Shen turned a deaf ear to the Minotaur's desire to reunite with his "wife and daughter".
As a father, you should learn how . How can you just sit around with your wife and children all day?
In the Xumi Bureau, information on small and medium-sized forces in various districts was sent to them, but Xu Shen was too lazy to read them, so he handed them over to Wei Yan to deal with. He also asked Da Lili to move to the Xumi Bureau to coordinate the integration of the Zhuiguang Society and the Xumi Bureau.
Although it is now the Illuminati, they are two different forces after all, and it will take some time for them to merge.
Moreover, there were garrison troops mixed in, making the place quite chaotic.
Xu Shen didn’t have time to deal with it for the time being. The orderliness he saw was all built under his military rule.
In the treasure house of the Xumi Bureau.
Xu Shen came here and looked at the numerous Ruined Warriors collected from all over the place. They were dazzling, but unlike the pearls and gems, most of these Ruined Warriors looked hideous and terrifying.
But in the eyes of the ruins beheaders, these ugly ruins soldiers are more attractive than the most dazzling agate.
Xu Shen picked up the Xu Bing and at the same time took out the Guiyue Mask given by Sister Li and tried to fuse them.
Now Xu Shen has a deeper understanding of Xu Bing. He knows that the more Xu Bing, the better. On the contrary, it is best to master only one Xu Bing, unless that Xu Bing is too rubbish and has a very low weight. Only then will other Xu Bing be filled in if there are extra weight quotas.
One piece of Xu Bing with a weight of 5 is better than five pieces of Xu Bing with a weight of 1.
If the weight reaches 6, the Xu Bing will undergo its first transformation and even surpass ten Xu Bing with a weight of 5.
Not to mention that after the weight reaches 16, it will undergo a second transformation, with more obvious effects.
That's why even the kings would envy the legendary soldiers.
Just as Xu Shen was trying, suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from behind.
