The night was as dark as ink!
Under the cover of the night, the mountains revealed a strong sense of unknown and mystery. It was as if some kind of wild beast or ancient soul was resting in the darkness.
Outside the mountains, the people within a radius of hundreds of miles had been forcibly driven away. This made them feel dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do. Under Great Qin's rule, the laws were strict. However, without the land that had been farmed for generations, how could they survive and when would they be able to return?
However, what they did not know was that they would be very grateful to the Imperium and the emperor for their little mercy every day after tonight.
This was because tonight was destined to be a restless night. The various factions were hidden among the mountains, like waves that were constantly surging under the calm water, but they had not completely surfaced. Once it was stirred up, it would be a monstrous wave that would devour and destroy all the ships on the water.
In the mountains, many silver figures were moving forward in an orderly manner. No matter how rugged the mountain road was or how difficult it was to march, they seemed to be calm and able to cope with it easily.
The Hundred-Battle Armored Soldiers were Great Qin's most powerful long-range army. They were equipped with light silver armor and the Empire's most powerful specially-made crossbows. These were the Empire's most experienced archers.
At this moment, this army was led by the famous general Wang Li, and they had come to sweep through the Mohist City of Traps, which was known as the " Heavenly Demon Territory " and the " Paradise on Earth ". After Great Qin unified the four seas and ruled the world, all those who opposed the King's Way saw this as the safest shelter and stronghold.
In the mountains!
Wang Li was in the middle of the army, leading the armored soldiers. What surprised him was that he did not encounter any sneak attacks or harassment from the Hundred Schools of Philosophy or the remnants of the Six Nations. He did not even see any traps that could interfere with him.
The only thing that appeared in front of him was the pitch-black night and the sound of the wind in the mountains.
However, all of this did not make Wang Li feel that this trip was going smoothly. It only made his expression become even more solemn.
As a veteran general who had been through many battles, Wang Li had seen too many people who had lost opportunities, battles, and even the lives of themselves and all their soldiers because of underestimation and arrogance.
Therefore, he had always told himself that pride would lead to failure. There was never a need to be too cautious in the matters of the militarists.
Reality proved that Wang Li was right.
The Mo family's spies had been lurking in the forest, secretly observing the Hundred Battle Armored Troop's every move. They used carrier pigeons to continuously report the army's journey to the commanders in the mechanical city.
They were all Mo disciples who had been trained and were familiar with the terrain of the mountains and the location of the traps.
However, what these Mo spies did not know was that their actions were not unknown.
The people from the Network had arrived even earlier than the Corps. As one of Great Qin's top secret organizations, it was impossible for them not to notice any traces of spying.
Just like that, the three groups of people carried out their own actions with their own ulterior motives, maintaining a strange balance.
However, everyone knew that this so-called balance was more like the calm before the storm, the silence before the eruption of a volcano.
......
Inside the City of Traps!
The legendary leader of the Mo Family, Mo Zi, who had not appeared for a long time, was sitting on a high chair with an indifferent expression.
In front of him was the high-ranking commander of the Mo clan.
The intelligence reports from the scouts were constantly sent back to their hands. Every time they received the information, their expressions became even uglier.
On the other hand, Mo Zi, the leader of the Mo Family, was unmoved. He was calm and composed, as if he had already made up his mind.
Just a few hours ago, Mo Zi had given the highest order to not harass the Hundred Battle Armored Troop in any way. The traps were not to be released either. Everything was up to him to decide.
"Mo Zi, the Hundred Battle Armored Soldiers of the Violent Qin are getting closer and closer to the heart of the mountains. They will soon find the entrance to our City of Traps.”Gao Jianli asked anxiously when he saw that Mo Zi had not changed his mind.
The Mohist City of Traps had been built in the mountains for more than 300 years. It was the crystallization of generations of masters of the Mohist family. From the original city in the mountains, it slowly extended to the entire mountains. It could be said that the mountains were the City of Traps, and the City of Traps was the mountains!
Along the way of the Empire's Hundred-Battle Armored Army, there were countless mechanisms that could be activated: Water was used to cut off the path, marsh gas was used to turn into fire, and boulders were used to collapse the sky. In the eyes of the commanders of the Mo family, if they relied on these, they could not only destroy this silver army, but they could at least reduce their numbers and pose no threat to the city.
However, as the highest commander, Mo Zi rejected their request.
Seeing that the commanders in front of him were becoming more and more anxious, Mo Zi stood up.
" Everyone, please calm down," Mo Zi said calmly." In my opinion, you have underestimated the strength of these lackeys."
"If those mechanisms alone could resist the most powerful long-range army of the Violent Qin, then how did the six dynasties fall? Were they not as powerful as these hundred-year-old traps?”
"In my opinion, the only thing we can do now is to endure and let them relax their vigilance. Then, we can use our strongest traps to capture them all!”
Upon hearing this, the Mo family members came to a realization and secretly blamed themselves for taking things for granted.
......
At this moment, in Zhao Gao's residence!
A scout was kneeling in front of Zhao Gao, presenting the latest information with both hands.
Zhao Gao stood up straight, his eyes sinister and cold like a snake's. With a glance, he understood everything that had happened in the mountains.
" The Mo Family is so cautious. Wang Li's army is not hindered at all." Zhao Gao slowly muttered to himself," These people are really scheming."
"Let the net continue to monitor. Be careful not to expose your whereabouts. If the two sides fight, you don't have to appear first. Just say that it's my intention."
"We will obey the orders of the Lord!"
After the scout received the order, he turned into a black shadow and slowly merged into the darkness, disappearing as if he had never existed.
......
Fourth Young Master's Residence!
Ying Ziyan sat in the hall and didn't light too many lamps. He only looked at the piles of bamboo slips used for the preparation of the ceremony. His eyes were as calm as a lake without any ripples.
Mo Ya only knelt in front of the hall and did not speak.
The atmosphere fell into a strange silence.
After a moment, Ying Ziyan spoke first.
"Are you saying that Wang Li's march was not stopped at all, and the spies of the Network and the Mo Family did not move?"
"This time, let the Blood Robed Marquis go. Baiqi will not move for the time being. The Imperial Court has been very strict with the investigation of the Dark Army recently. I don't want him to be too eye-catching."
Mo Ya bowed deeply.
"I will obey the orders of the Underworld Lord."
