The snake-pulling cave

"The question is, even if we know General Longwei's intention, how can we intercept him?" Thorian asked again.

Now General Long Wei has disappeared, and their people haven't even touched the corner of his clothes, so they have no way to chase him.

Moreover, West Lucozia is a vast territory with abundant resources. It is unrealistic to completely block all routes out of the country.

It is okay in a short period of time, but if it takes too long, it will have a huge impact on the economic development of West Lucozia as a whole.

It is not a wise choice to waste resources like this for a wanted criminal.

"General Long Wei is wanted by the whole city now. It is impossible for him to leave the country through normal routes. He can only choose to smuggle."

Dustin made a detailed analysis: "According to the distribution of the sea chart, if General Long Wei departs from West Lucozia and goes to the Lighthouse Country, he must pass through the Bohai Country. We can start from this aspect. You should immediately find someone to investigate how many smuggling routes there are from West Lucozia to the Bohai Country?"

"Understood, I will arrange it immediately!"

Thorian nodded, then called the guards and quickly gave instructions.

The people in the palace worked very efficiently. In less than half an hour, a special route map was delivered to Thorian.

When they unfold the map, they can see dozens of winding routes, which are the docks and ports leading to the Bohai Kingdom from the West Lucozia border.

However, five of the routes are specially marked in red, which makes them very eye-catching.

These routes do not exist on normal maps and are little known.

To put it simply, it is the hidden line of smuggling and illegal immigration.

Some unscrupulous businessmen collude with certain officials to make profits through these smuggling routes.

The palace had already investigated these matters, but had never dealt with them.

On the one hand, they’re too lazy to make a big move, and on the other hand, it's a bit like raising a poison.

"Brother, look, these five are the routes for sneaking into the Bohai Kingdom. If your guess is correct, General Long Wei will definitely choose one of them. As long as we send soldiers to ambush in these places, we can definitely capture him!" Thorian pointed his finger on the map.

"General Long Wei is a martial arts master after all, and he has keen perception. If we send a large number of troops to ambush, it will easily arouse suspicion and alert the enemy." Dustin said.

General Long Wei is now like a frightened bird. He will flee immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.

"That's true."

Thorian nodded thoughtfully: "It is indeed not appropriate to send a large number of troops, but if we only mobilize a few elite teams, I am worried that the number of people is too small and we can't stop the enemy."

Even after being hit by the Ten Fragrance Softening Powder, General Longwei was able to escape from the palace. Ordinary armed forces are useless.

Only elite troops of the level of the Dragon Guards can be sure of victory.

The problem is that the Dragon Guards only have a few hundred people and cannot take care of all the smuggling routes.

If we act separately, it will only weaken our strength, which is not a wise choice.

Coupled with the support of General Long Wei and the masters of the Temple of the Gods, if they really clash, there is a high probability that they will end up in defeat.

"No need to go through so much trouble. You just need to dispatch troops to block four of the routes. As for the rest, leave it to me." Dustin said lightly.

"I understand! This is what my brother meant by luring the snake out of its hole. How wonderful!" Thorian reacted quickly.

Four routes were blocked, leaving only one unattended, intentionally giving General Long Wei hope of escape.

His eldest brother was guarding the exit of this route, waiting for General Long Wei to fall into the trap.

This way we won't alert the enemy and can ensure victory.

As for whether his elder brother could capture General Long Wei, he never doubted it.

Even the top warriors on the champion list died at the hands of their eldest brother, let alone a small General Longwei?

It’s all General Long Wei’s fault for offending the wrong people.

...

The sky gradually brightened.

The search operation in West Lucozia Royal City is still ongoing.

Although Dustin and Thorian already had a plan to capture the enemy, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the Temple of the Gods, they still had to do the necessary superficial work.

At this moment, outside the royal city.

In an old house with a yard.

As the mechanism twisted, the secret door hidden behind the bookcase slowly opened.

Immediately afterwards, the crew-haired man Liu Jun, along with several of his subordinates, stepped out first.

After making sure there was nothing unusual, he raised his head and called out, "General, there is no ambush outside, you can come out now."

"Damn it! I'm dying of suffocation!"

General Long Wei walked out of the dark room, cursing, his body dirty and looking a little dusty.

After walking in the dark and damp cave all night, I can finally come out and get some fresh air.

General Long Wei sat down on the chair and poured himself a cup of cold tea.

Just as he was about to drink tea, he seemed to think of something, stopped suddenly, and glanced at Liu Jun.

Those who were poisoned while drinking tea in the palace two days ago are still frightened.

"Don't worry, General. There's no poison in the tea."

Liu Jun reacted quickly, smiled, took the teacup from General Long Wei, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Nothing can be done. Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of the rope."

General Long Wei shook his head and then began to drink tea with peace of mind.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard at the door.

General Long Wei's expression changed and he suddenly drew his sword, as if he was ready to kill someone. - Ton

Life or Death?

At this moment, Hera was completely terrified. When she saw Dustin effortlessly dissolve her attack, she had already started thinking about retreating. Her instincts told her that Dustin was not someone to be trifled with --- he was an extremely dangerous individual. Still, she clung to a sliver of hope, thinking that with Zeus by her side, the two of them together might still stand a chance. But now, after watching Zeus get severely injured and lose an arm with just one strike, she completely panicked. Her strength was already a bit weaker than Zeus’. If even Zeus couldn’t withstand a single strike from Dustin, there was no way she could either. So, the instant she saw Dustin raise his hand again, Hera didn’t hesitate for even a moment. She pushed off with her feet, launching herself into the air like a streak of light, fleeing rapidly into the sky. At this point, all she wanted was to save her own life. As for Zeus’s survival? That was no longer her concern. Rig...

Trouble Arrives at the Door

“I was quite surprised that I managed to bring back the Dragon Source Qi so smoothly this time. Honestly, I was even prepared to fall out completely with Li Juntang,” said Dustin. “Oh? How so?” Margarert raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. Dustin didn't hold back. He carefully recounted everything that had happened, including Li Juntang’s sudden and unusual friendliness, as well as Hongniang’s intervention and her decision to follow him. “What do you think Li Juntang is really up to? He was incredibly suspicious of me just a day before --- nearly fought me --- yet the next day he completely changed, became overly friendly, and even gifted me one of the great beauties from the Rouge List. It's baffling.” Dustin shook his head. “In my view, this probably has something to do with Li Juntang’s mother, Consort Spanner,” Margarert said after a moment of contemplation. “Consort Spanner is shrewd and calculating. She must have realized that Li Juntang isn't your match...

Transcendent and Otherworldly

A burst of golden light suddenly appeared, neutralizing Zeus’s attack and at the same time saving Margaret from having her cultivation abolished. As the golden light gradually faded, a handsome young man emerged before the crowd. His hair was completely white, his clothes were ragged, but his entire being exuded a transcendent and otherworldly aura. He stood there silently in front of Margaret, like an unshakable mountain. “Dustin?” Seeing the white-haired, handsome man, Margaret finally let out a long breath of relief. She knew she was saved --- and so was everyone in the ancient temple. Although Dustin now had white hair, his appearance hadn’t changed much. But the aura he carried was now touched with an undefinable trace of divinity --- something she had never sensed before. And that alone was enough to prove that Dustin had broken through to a new realm. “You’ve worked hard.” Dustin turned and gave Margaret a gentle nod. A strand of golden light suddenly pou...
