Dominion's End Volume 4: Battle for Lan City

Original novel in Chinese by: 御 我 (Yu Wo)

Chapter 10: The Ice Spears—translated by Miaka_Mei (proofread by EvlNabiki & Trespasserby; C/E edited by lucathia)

I climbed up the bell tower that had been transformed into a sentry and looked into the distance. There really was a crowd of people coming toward Old Town, and there were at least one or two hundred of them. Plus, their direction was very clear. It's definitely Old Town!

But how is this possible? Lan City is right behind Old Town. In our current phase, everyone wants to escape from the city, so why would a large group of people head over here?

Is this a mere coincidence, or are they aiming for us? But how did they find out that there are people here... Startled, I suddenly thought of something. Could it be that...

By this time, Yunqian and Shujun had climbed up after me. Once beside me, Yunqian handed over a pair of binoculars and explained, "Cain has already gone to inform Boss. The situation is very bad. The enemy has weapons, and some are dressed in military uniforms. Although we don't know if they are real soldiers or not, those weapons are definitely genuine."

I held the binoculars up and looked through them. It wasn't hard to locate my target within the crowd—a tall and unusually conspicuous guy.

"They're real soldiers."

Ceng Yunqian was stunned, and doubtfully asked, "How do you know that? They do look like it, but it wouldn't be hard for us, the mercs, to dress like soldiers, too. There's basically not much of a difference."

Putting the binoculars down, I was so furious that I could kill someone.

"Because I know the two morons among them!"

I roared, then jumped straight down from the bell tower, running toward the outside of the town. Once I ran to an empty street, I formed ice blades for gliding and reached the outskirts of the town in less than ten minutes. I'd be able to catch sight of the crowd right after the next turn.

Putting away the ice blades, I walked, step by step, toward the crowd of people. The opposite side seemed to have noticed me, but they didn't appear very agitated since I was alone.

While walking over, I couldn't help but think of how to settle things afterward. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. All I feel like doing is freezing to death a certain duo among them.

A guy rushed out from the crowd, excitedly running toward me, and had the gall to shout, "Xiao Yu!"

I tightly clenched my fists, suppressing the strong urge to give him a good beating on the spot. I furiously roared, "You. And that guy at the back—Get over here!"

Another guy from the rear slowly walked over. Unlike the happy one at the front, he was fairly calm and sterner than when we had first met. Still, he wore a smile on his face. He was greatly resisting becoming emotional, as if finally getting rescued after countless days of suffering.

Calm down, calm down. I still need to hide my strength. If I beat these two up in front of hundreds of people, then I can kiss hiding my strength goodbye... The fuck, most of these soldiers might already know about my strength!

I could feel my blood pressure rising. I brought both of them to the side, then turned to face them. One of them had a joyful look on his face, making me want to thrash him with a kick, just like how Guan Weijun said—stick him to the wall!
