Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.
Chapter 56 The Beginning
After completing his mission, the fake Yin Tianbao left the city lord's mansion under the cover of night and returned to the Human Extinction Base. Wang Ming, the head of the Political Affairs Department, saw that all the political affairs personnel of Bailu City had returned. After arranging for messengers to pass on the mission to the political affairs personnel planted in various countries, he greeted Jin Huage and then led all the political affairs personnel on the island to evacuate the island by boat overnight and return to the Human Extinction Headquarters of the Delin Kingdom.
Two days later, the military personnel brought back Yin Tianbao's body. Because the garrison's leave hadn't ended, the body, mixed with several buckets of swill, easily entered the city. However, Yin Tianbao's body had been left for a long time and had begun to decompose. Upon entering the Human Extinction Base, a putrid stench filled the air. Since Yin Tianbao's body wasn't ready for use yet, everyone in the base had to cover their mouths and noses with damp cloths while working. Zhou Tianwu, seeing the body already decomposing, covered his mouth and nose and cursed, "Damn it, it's rotten to this extent! Even an idiot could tell it didn't just die! You guys..." Zhou Tianwu pointed at several insulators and said, "Use wood element to restore the body's condition, at least to prevent it from decomposing too much." Then he said to the other insulators, "Before using it, make a few cuts on it with a knife, then splatter some blood on it to make it look more real." Then he continued to cover his mouth and nose and left.
Meanwhile, another pair of martial arts experts successfully intercepted the supply ship halfway through its journey. Dressed in the uniforms of the Slivia Empire, they boarded the ship without explanation under the pretext of assisting with the transport. Once on board, they began a massacre, slaughtering all the soldiers except for two survivors. The leader said to the Tianyun Empire soldiers who had been cornered, "I've had my fill of killing today and obtained a whole ship of supplies, so I'll spare your lives. Now you can jump into the sea; whether you live or die is up to fate." The two soldiers were initially overjoyed at the thought of being spared, but their faces darkened when they heard they were to jump into the sea. Jumping into the sea was tantamount to suicide; how could the two of them survive on the vast ocean alone?
Faced with the relentless pressure, the two had no choice but to jump into the sea together. Seeing them leap in, the Insulator steered the supply ship away. To prevent the two soldiers from dying at sea, he also arranged for several others to disguise themselves as fishermen and rescue them halfway, safely delivering them to the mainland docks. Once ashore, the two soldiers hurried towards the Heavenly Fortune Empire, as the loss of their supply ship to the Slivian army was no small matter.
On the island, after the troops from various countries returned to their posts from their leave, the city lord's guards, who had been reporting military affairs for several days, could not find the city lord himself. The attendants searched the city lord's mansion but still could not find Yin Tianbao. Finally, they realized that the city lord was missing. Bailu City was immediately sealed off, and the city lord's guards searched the entire city. After receiving the news, Renjue immediately arranged for the military officers to take advantage of the night to dump Yin Tianbao's body into the Delin Kingdom's garrison. He also arranged for someone to find the guard captain. The insulator disguised himself as a city lord's guard and said to the guard captain, "Could it be that the city lord went to inspect the garrison?"
"Yes, that's possible. We haven't looked into the garrison area yet."
Immediately, the city lord's guard captain led his men to the garrisons of various countries. After searching, they found nothing. One of the infiltrators, unable to bear it any longer, complained, "How can these people be so stupid? They can't even find such an obvious place." It turned out that to make it easier to find Yin Tianbao's body, the Martial Division had simply dumped it in a swill dump. However, during the search, the guards all complained about the stench and skipped over it without even glancing at it. Helpless, the Martial Division had to send a companion to guide them. The guard who had been there earlier walked to the guard captain and whispered a few words. The guard captain immediately led his men to the place where the Delin Kingdom's garrison had piled up swill buckets. After searching with their mouths and noses covered, they finally found Yin Tianbao's body. The guard captain verified the token on the body, confirming that it was indeed Yin Tianbao. He then immediately turned his attention to the Delin Kingdom's garrison.
He loudly questioned, "Why did the city lord die in the place where your Kingdom of Delin puts out its slop buckets?! Could it be that your Kingdom of Delin saw that the city lord's term of office had expired and took this opportunity to settle a personal score?!" As a soldier of the Heavenly Fortune Empire, the captain of the guards naturally first turned his suspicious gaze toward the Kingdom of Delin.
The general of the Kingdom of Delin's garrison stepped forward and retorted, "If the body was found in our garrison, then we should say it was our doing. Don't make false accusations! We act with integrity, unlike your city lord, who is sneaky and despicable, like a thief!"
Upon hearing this, the captain of the guard immediately flew into a rage, drew his sword, and shouted, "How dare you say another word!"
The general was not to be outdone, and drew his sword, roaring, "Test the sharpness of my sword!"
Soldiers on both sides quickly intervened to prevent the situation from escalating. The immediate priority was to report the news of Yin Tianbao's death. After both sides were persuaded to retreat, the enraged captain of the guards, without waiting to investigate the situation, immediately arranged for someone to send the news of Yin Tianbao's death to the Delin Kingdom's garrison back to his country. The general of the Delin Kingdom's garrison also arranged for someone to send the "good news" of Yin Tianbao's death back to the kingdom. This, in turn, helped advance Jin Huage's plan, and the enmity between the two countries deepened.
Although they had previously acquired the uniforms and equipment of the four kingdoms' garrisons in one go, Wu Si still lacked a reason to provoke conflict between the Delin Kingdom's garrisons and the Holy Beast Kingdom's garrisons. So, he continued to wear the Slivia's military uniform and deliberately provoked the Delin Kingdom's garrison during dinner that evening. One of them said to his companion in front of the Delin Kingdom's soldiers, "I didn't expect the Delin Kingdom to be so insidious. They actually assassinated the city lord during the handover period and then dumped the body directly next to the swill bucket. They clearly don't treat the city lord like a human being."
Upon hearing this, a soldier from the Kingdom of Delin angrily pointed at the man and said, "If you have the guts, speak up! What kind of talk is this, whispering behind someone's back? Even if we did do it, what can you do about it!"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately shouted, "So what if you shout it out loud? Everyone come and see! The Kingdom of Delin admits they killed the city lord!" This immediately attracted a crowd of soldiers from various countries. The two men began exchanging insults in the center, and then the soldiers of the Kingdom of Delin and the Slivia Empire spontaneously split into two groups and started hurling insults at each other. Seeing that the time was right, a member of the Martial Arts Division drew his sword and shouted, "Brothers, how can we tolerate such insults from the damned Kingdom of Delin? Watch me kill this bastard!" He then slashed at a soldier from the kingdom, and the scene immediately descended into chaos as the two sides fought each other. Meanwhile, the member of the Martial Arts Division quietly withdrew to change into his Kingdom of Delin uniform.
The fight was halfway through when it was suppressed by two powerful forces. The newcomers were the generals of the Slivia garrison and the Delin Kingdom garrison. The Delin Kingdom general was the same one who had been arguing with the city lord's guard captain during the day. After understanding the situation, he immediately shouted angrily, "You Slivia, don't push your luck! Why are you slandering our country without cause!"
General Slivia, on the other hand, was more rational. He cupped his hands and said, "It's natural for the general to be angry when his soldiers are making a fuss. Why don't we rest here and go back to our respective places to reorganize?"
The general of the Kingdom of Delin was speechless for a moment upon hearing this, unable to vent his anger. He realized that it would be too rude of him to continue arguing with someone who was speaking so politely to him. So he took his soldiers back, and the two sides finally stopped.
Seeing that both sides had returned to their respective camps, the members of the Martial Division, now dressed in the uniforms of the Kingdom of Delin, reappeared at the Delin Kingdom camp. Taking advantage of the general's outing, they ran to his side crying and pleading, "General, you must do justice for my brother and me!"
The general quickly asked, "What happened?"
“The general’s mercy has been betrayed. My brother and I were just out for a walk when we passed by the Slivia camp. Under the cover of night, the Slivia soldiers seized us and beat us severely, all the while saying…” At this point, the two soldiers stopped talking and just kept crying and making a scene.
"What did you say! Speak quickly!" The general was also anxious and hurriedly questioned.
"They say our Kingdom of Delin is full of mad dogs that bite anyone they see. Killing the city lord was bad enough, but they're also going against the Slivia Empire. They even said that if their general hadn't stopped them, they would have beaten us to a pulp." The two soldiers were talking back and forth, infuriating the general. He angrily started hacking at a nearby dummy in frustration. Seeing the opportunity, one soldier stood up and whispered, "General, the Slivia are going too far. If it weren't for the orcs backing them up, how dare they talk so arrogantly to us? The orcs didn't participate at all today; they must be watching from the sidelines. Why don't we split up tonight and simultaneously raid the Slivia and orc camps? We won't kill anyone, just set them on fire to dampen their spirits."
The general, still furious, agreed without a second thought. That very night, he ordered his men to secretly assemble and split into two groups to attack Slivia and the orc camp. That night, the fourth garrison of Bailu City was ablaze, filled with screams and cries for help to put out the fire.
Jin Huago and Zhou Tianwu watched the scene unfold from a distance. Jin Huago said to Zhou Tianwu with satisfaction, "Well done, Tianwu. We can prepare to go into the mountains to complete the mission."
