Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

“That’s a good suggestion,” Instructor Scarface said earnestly. “They’re too busy watching us right now, so we can take this opportunity to leave Dark City.”

Night Song said, "If what they say is true, and there are more than a hundred vampire warriors near the Hundred Souls Forest, do you think it's really safe for us to leave now?"

Instructor Scarface hesitated: "This..."

"Moreover, the number of over a hundred vampire warriors is actually just an estimate," Ye Ge said. "So many vampire warriors infiltrating human territory and appearing in the Hundred Souls Forest is definitely a purposeful operation. They might already be surrounding Dark City. Do you really think it would be safer for us to leave Dark City now than to stay here?"

"..." Instructor Scar Tiger remained silent.

"So what do we do now?" Nangong Qiuyue asked curiously.

Night Song: "Go back to your room and sleep."

Nangong Qiuyue: "...Huh??"

Ye Ge yawned and turned to walk towards his residence.

The others were completely bewildered.

Gao Shenxue didn't ask any questions and was the first to follow Ye Ge towards their residence.

Seeing this, Xia Xiyao blinked her eyes twice in a daze, and then immediately jogged to catch up.

Seeing that they had all left, Jiang Xiaoming scratched his head and asked, "Instructor, are we really going back to sleep?"

Instructor Scarface looked troubled.

But it must be admitted that Ye Ge's words do make sense.

Even if they manage to leave Dark City, what if they encounter the vampire army while crossing the Hundred Souls Forest and fall into the hands of the vampires? That would be unimaginable.

Long Ying then said, "In that case, let's do as he says and go back to sleep."

"Huh?" Nangong Qiuyue was surprised and looked at her: "You think so too?"

Long Ying said calmly, "Teacher Cang Feng said that when he's not around, Ye Ge is the captain. Since it's a mission, there has to be someone who makes the decisions."

Nangong Qiuyue sighed helplessly, "That's true..."

Long Ying offered no further explanation and turned to walk towards her residence.

"Hey, you're really leaving?" Nangong Qiuyue called out. Seeing that she was now the only one left in their team, she pouted and muttered, "You guys are all so carefree... Oh well, I'll just go back to sleep..."

......

Long Ying returned to her single room and took out her cyber watch again.

How should I explain the situation to my father?

Long Ying hesitated for a long time.

This matter is full of suspicious points.

She still had many unanswered questions in her mind.

That Liang Kuan, although he claims to be a man of Duke Wang En, but...

We cannot completely trust them either.

'Never mind, let's not report this to Father Emperor yet...'

Long Ying originally wanted to call back to explain the situation and request reinforcements from the imperial court.

After a moment's consideration, Long Ying decided to use her own people first.

As the ninth princess of the empire, Long Ying was born into an imperial family and was destined to face all kinds of cruel competition in the future.

Every brother, sister, brother, and sister with royal blood flowing through her veins is a rival to her future throne.

In this world where extraordinary power exists, strength is everything, and gender is not so important. Therefore, even princesses have the right to compete for the throne.

Therefore, Long Ying began training his own direct subordinates when he was seven years old.

Among her direct subordinates, there were naturally troops who could be relied upon in such critical moments.

"drop"

Long Ying pressed a button on her watch screen and dialed a message: "Uncle Fu, can you hear me?"

“Yes, Your Highness.” Uncle Fu’s holographic image appeared on her watch: “Thank goodness, we finally have news of you. I heard that you encountered danger during your mission and were kidnapped by the Wilderness Rebels? His Majesty is very worried and has sent out a large number of troops to search for you.”

"Hmm, more or less," Long Ying said. "I've sent you a location message. Bring your men and come here immediately."

"Yes!"

"Also, don't tell my father about this yet."

"Why is that?" Uncle Fu asked, puzzled. "Wouldn't it be better to have His Majesty send troops to rescue you?"

"You don't need to ask any more questions," Long Ying said calmly.

"Yes, I understand," Uncle Fu replied respectfully.

......

Of course, Ye Ge didn't go back to sleep.

Gao Shenxue and Xia Xiyao both sat down in front of him.

"Xue'er, could you scout out the situation near Dark City?" Ye Ge asked.

Gao Shenxue nodded: "Yes, that's fine."

Then, Gao Shenxue took out a briefcase.

Although the spatial rings had been temporarily confiscated by Bao Bingqing and his group, the women still possessed the system, and the suitcase was naturally downloaded from the system's spatial storage.

Gao Shenxue opened the mechanical clasp and flipped open the suitcase.

The box had three layers, each with twelve compartments, and each compartment contained a small mechanical insect.

There are mechanical insects shaped like ants, mechanical insects shaped like bees, and mechanical insects shaped like cockroaches.

These mechanical insects are indistinguishable from ordinary insects to the naked eye. Only when you look at them with a magnifying glass will you discover that their body structure is actually made up of mechanical parts. Even every antenna and hair on their bodies is a high-tech nanotechnology product used as a tool for sensing.

Gao Shenxue released all the mechanical insects.

The mechanical insects quickly scattered; some burrowed into the cracks in the walls, while others unfolded their wings and flew out the window to begin their reconnaissance work...

......

Hundred Souls Forest.

Thirty-odd figures moved swiftly through the woods.

These people were all dressed in the black uniforms of the Night's Watch.

Nangong Ru ran at the front, her pace extremely fast, her trench coat fluttering, and she leaped quickly between several large trees in her long military boots.

The night watchmen behind her had to use all their agility to barely keep up with her pace.

A young watchman caught up with him and said, "Chief, you didn't have to come here yourself. It's too dangerous."

Another middle-aged night watchman nearby said, "Yes, Chief, your strength is being suppressed here. What if we encounter too many enemies..."

As Nangong Ru ran quickly, she said in a deep voice, "Stop talking nonsense. My sister has fallen into the hands of those barbaric forces. Do you think I can sit idly by?"

"..." The other Night Watchmen fell silent.

"Huh?" At that moment, a night watchman looked at the woods ahead and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Chief, look ahead!"

......

I have some things to do today, so there will only be one update. Everyone, go to sleep early, sob sob~ (I'll post some pictures tomorrow to make up for it)
