Outside the elf territory, a figure suddenly appeared without any warning, causing the soldiers on the city wall to become nervous.

When they saw the figure clearly, they became even more nervous.

“Yes, it’s a human! It’s a human adventurer!!”

All of a sudden, all the soldiers entered a state of battle readiness.

Meanwhile, Mike completely ignored the panic on the city wall. He turned to look at Egg and said, “Egg, you were satisfied with what you ate just now, right?”

Although Egg could not speak, it could express its thoughts through its actions and its intention to communicate with its owner.

It could be seen that he was indeed very satisfied with the meal.

Mike smiled slightly, rubbed Egg’s head before he spoke again, “It’s good that you’re satisfied. You’ve finished your business. Now, it’s time to do mine.”

After saying that, he swaggered into the city gate with Egg and Stone.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the city wall immediately rushed down and blocked the city gate. Their actions were so fast that it was jaw-dropping.

Mike looked at the rapidly gathering elven soldiers and raised his eyebrows, “You want to stop me?”

All the soldiers became nervous. One of the elves — who looked like a leader — walked out of the crowd with a frown. He gave Mike a once-over and replied, “Adventurer? What are your intentions in the Ancient City of War?”

Mike smiled and said, “I’m just looking for someone. I don’t mean any harm.”

After saying that, he nodded and prepared to enter the city.

However, the leader of the guards moved slightly to the side and once again blocked Mike’s path.

“I’m sorry, things have changed. The entire city is under martial law and outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave. Although you humans have just won the war, this is of an entirely different matter.

“We have already paid the price that we should pay. Please don’t step any further than this!”

As the leader, he naturally had to set a good example in front of the soldiers. After the leader finished speaking, the soldiers behind him seemed to have gained more confidence, and their aura seemed to become stronger.

Mike looked at the leader in front of him, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He said coldly, “Did you know that today’s your lucky day?”

“What do you mean?” The leader’s face turned a little ugly. He vaguely felt that the other party was threatening him.

Mike continued, “If I didn’t come to find someone today and didn’t want to cause trouble, you guys would have already been dead.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind the leader burst into laughter.

“A puny adventurer actually dared to say such arrogant words!”

“We’ll all die in front of you? Who do you think you are!”

“This is simply the funniest joke I’ve ever heard in my life!”

Hearing the mocking laughter of these soldiers, Mike remained expressionless.

Indeed, generally speaking, players were very afraid of NPCs. NPCs were often much stronger than players and could take the lives of players with a single move.

So it was normal for them to think so. However, Mike did not want to prove anything today.

If he killed the NPCs here now, all the NPCs in the Ancient City of War would become hostile to Mike, reducing their favorability.

This way, it would be difficult for Mike to complete the hidden mission issued by the bartender.

Thinking of this, Mike smiled slightly as he spoke, “Since you won’t let me pass through here, then I’ll take a detour.”

Hearing this, the leader of the soldiers frowned. The Ancient City of War had a total of four city gates, North, South, East, and West. There were many soldiers that guarded each gate. No matter how many detours he took, he could not enter the city.

However, he had an odd feeling in his heart. A feeling that… this human adventurer was not joking.
