My Misfortune Crushed Instances

"I feel very uneasy."

In Central City, the Western Kingdom’s Prophet looked at the shattered cup on the ground, a strange feeling rising in his heart.

His name was quite long; people generally didn’t call him by his name but instead referred to him as Long Eyes because his eyes were extremely slender, resembling those of a fox.

Beside him was the commander sent to the Secret Realm battlefield by this country, who had been discussing the next strategy with several others, but was drawn by the sound of the cup hitting the ground.

"What’s going on?"

Dropping a cup was normal, but if it fell from the hands of the Prophet, that was a different matter.

"There’s something wrong."

Long Eyes’ expression was very serious, "I feel as if something has happened at the rear, but I’m not too sure."

He could, of course, immediately use his skill to calculate precisely what was happening, but the Prophet’s skill cooldown was very long, and at times like this, every use required the commander’s permission and couldn’t be used indiscriminately.

The commander said, "Leave the cooldown for the southern line empty; their leader this time is that cowardly Archbishop. They won’t dare to pursue us, so there’s no need to predict."

A Polar Cathedral Archbishop was certainly not a coward, though his conduct was indeed prudent; there was nothing wrong with this person’s assessment.

This allowed Long Eyes to have a spare cooldown to verify where his ominous premonition was coming from.

A crystal ball was placed in front of him, with three colors of mist rolling inside. He carefully rubbed the surface of the crystal ball with both hands, as if he were an old gambler feeling Mahjong tiles with closed eyes.

Boom!!

An inspiration hit his mind like a dump truck.

"Dylan Hegg!!"

He screamed, "He’s going to die! Someone wants to assassinate him!!"

"Assassinate?!"

All the Western Country commanders in the command room were shocked, "How could this be possible."

Long Eyes kept screaming; his prophecies were known for their precision, especially extremely sensitive to life and death, the side effect of which was an extreme headache.

"I say! Hurry and save him!"

The commander immediately called for a team of dangerous-grade Extraordinaries to go for support.

Afterwards, everyone quieted down, waiting for Long Eyes to return to normal, a process that lasted a whole ten minutes.

"Foggy Evil Ghost, it’s the Foggy Evil Ghost. He’s going to kill him, or he already has."

Upon hearing these words, everyone looked at each other.

"Coming from Dragon Country? How did he get there?"

"River of Abundance (Grain Waters), definitely let in during the retreat."

Although the commander could not prophesize, his judgment of the battlefield situation was quite accurate, "Now inform me of the current defense situation."

He said a word that made the entire command department busy.

"Sir, it’s the Sixth Battalion defending, and the commander is Davidian."

"Not enough!"

The chief commander patted the table, "That evil ghost must be sent back to hell for me. Where’s Simon? Tell him to come meet me!"

.....

"Where did you go?!"

Kawina grumbled discontentedly.

"Strolling."

Li Rui replied casually, "Have you rested well? Then let’s head out."

Ju Ye patted his cuirass, "Ready anytime."

"Then let’s go."

Li Rui climbed into the giant warrior’s basket, lay inside and drank some water, then started resting with his eyes closed.

Kawina still refused to give up, jumping in with a plop and pursued, "I don’t believe you, what the heck did you go do."

Li Rui answered with his eyes closed, "Killed someone."

Kawina was not surprised, continued probing, "Who?"

Li Rui grew impatient with her questioning, answered, "Dylan Hegg."

"Who?!"

"What?!"

These two voices came from Rossi and Vince, positioned on the giant warrior’s shoulders, who had been eavesdropping with raised ears, thus reacting faster than Kawina.

Li Rui glanced at the two with disdain, "Aren’t you top killers? Why so jumpy."

"Dylan Hegg, back when he was famous in the Land of Chaos, the lady was not even an Extraordinary yet."

Kawina asked, "Really? What was his nickname?"

"Something Butcher, I forgot."

Li Rui mocked, "There are too many called Butcher."

The primary characteristic of the Land of Chaos was chaos, with famous and named masters emerging one after another; those that rose this year might disappear the next, maybe killed and buried in the desert, perhaps crippled and retired from the scene, or possibly just going undercover after completing a mission for a major power.

Rossi and Vince secretly marveled.

Kawina admired even more, "Li, can you tell me how you killed him?"

"I didn’t really do much; the Polar Alliance’s Curse Priest crippled him, was recuperating behind. Our Prophet gave specific coordinates, I merely went to kill a bedridden guy."

Li Rui modestly said a few things, not mentioning how he burst into the room using the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture; the guy almost completed a skill but still couldn’t beat the speed of the legendary skill.

This being said, the two senior assassins finally calmed down a bit, going out for a "stroll" and then taking down a renowned master of the Western Kingdom; such an affair sounded too exaggerated.

The confrontations between great nations compared to the scattered forces of the Land of Chaos were more organized; such an assassination seemed simple and crude, but impossible without intelligence support.

For example, if Ju Ye could accurately locate the current Great Chief of the Royal Court, he might just lead a direct assault.

"Benefactor, we’ve already passed through the forest, ahead is a plain, must rush through swiftly; if too slow, changes might occur."

Not long after, Ju Ye woke Li Rui from his shallow sleep.

"Hmm...wait a moment."

Li Rui jumped to the ground, used binoculars to look into the distance, the plain was completely empty, no traces of Demon Race and Human Race activities appeared, only a few eagles circling in the sky.

"Set camp here, I have a bad feeling."

...

The bearded man almost stormed into the command room in Yellow Earth City, glanced around finding no Cheng Wen, and asked, panting, "Where’s Commander Cheng?"

"Demon Race is organizing an offensive in Green Wave Wetland over there; he worried about changes at the rear and personally went to oversee it," a staff officer said.

Not only was Cheng Wen the command leader, he was also one of the strongest combat powers; he went over not just to stabilize the situation, but to provide military aid as well.

The bearded man clicked his tongue: "Who’s the acting commander?"

"I."

A steady voice came from behind a pile of documents, then Kong Ji’s chubby face emerged.

"Conductor Kong, you’re here."

The bearded man raised an eyebrow, "We need to deploy quickly; the Western Kingdom is tightening up the gap around Grain Waters, and the encirclement is fully tightening."

Kong Ji had already handed over all necessary information to Cheng Wen; he immediately realized what this meant.

"Those bastards are determined to hunt down Li Rui. Where’s Chen Cheng, quickly call Chen Cheng over."

He then asked, "Any more intelligence, like personnel movements?"

The bearded man said, "Can confirm Hopkins and Landry, both high-risk targets; according to intelligence analysis, stronger than the female Priest killed by Li Rui before."

"Any more?"

Kong Ji placed two red markers on the sand table.

"Also Roger Simon, there’s news he’s withdrawn from the southern line, surely participating in this operation," the bearded man said.

Kong Ji’s facial fat tightened a bit; this bearded man was recruited into the intelligence analysis department back then, always being a core member, skilled all-around in both intelligence gathering and situation judging.

He pondered briefly and ordered, "Call Team 0107 and 0214 to abandon their current targets, immediately gather in Yellow Earth City, report once to Commander Cheng as well."

The deputy commander in charge of liaising quickly signed the order without any delay; he took just one second to realize the numbers referred to Guan Gui and Dong Sanchuan.
