Chapter 158: Goal
At the front of the city walls
Eternal Night sat on an elevated seat, calress Beside hi on the current situation
“So this caterpillar was still able to escape froht summarized indifferently
Those who knew hiht appeared, the angrier he actually was
Kelesda helplessly replied, “He is even stronger than I had anticipated Even now, I have no idea hoas able to escape from my Depth Echo technique’s influence Thankfully, he isn’t able to completely evade my detection I can sense that he’s still in Sky City, but I can’t pinpoint his exact location anyainst his armrest “Our opponent is much trickier and ined He seely carefully calculated everything He isn’t attacking randoht God Verdant, how many stores did he try to rob?”
“Your Majesty, he robbed seventeen in total”
“Were these seventeen all next to each other?”
“No, Your Majesty There were a few stores that Halcyon Wing Streak ran past and ignored,” Night God Sun reported
“Prepare a list of all the losses that the stores suffered”
“We’re preparing it right now It will be ready very soon” Night God Verdant had been serving Eternal Night for a long ti a mistake Thus, he dared not ure out sos about those stores that weren’t robbed Prepare that information forafter, a scroll containing inforh-class area was handed over
Eternal Night took the scroll and inspected it carefully
He perused it quite carefully and slowly
After reading it through, he fell into thought for soin Crystals”
Froh-class area, Eternal Night was able to figure out Su Chen’s goal Of course, Su Chen’s goal truly was to steal all of the Origin Crystals, but Kelesda was nonetheless still iht’s ability to discern the truth from a chaotic situation
“Your Majesty’s wisdom is as boundless as the sea,” Kelesda said
“Our opponent’s skill isn’t weak either,” Eternal Night coaze still focused on the battle
He hadn’t forgotten that the battle was still ongoing
Kelesda said with soin Crystals? And once he got the Origin Crystals, he was able to extricate himself from Depth Echo’s effects Is there a connection between the two?”
Because of Kelesda’s innate talent as a bandit, he had very quickly discovered the link between Su Chen obtaining the Origin Crystals and the nullification of his Depth Echo technique
Eternal Night’s focus, however, was not on that aspect
To him, that was already a problem of the past What he needed to do noas plan and accommodate for the future
He said, “I’ to make a move”
Kelesda was taken aback “He was probably waiting for the Desolate Beast to attack Sky City, as all of our stronger combatants would be preoccupied It’s the perfect opportunity to strike”
“So then why didn’t he make athe city yesterday,” Eternal Night rebutted
Kelesda was taken aback
Itfor the Desolate Beast’s attack to make a move In fact, that was actually a part of Su Chen’s plan
But then why hadn’t he ht was the one to answer his own question “Because he was observing”
“Observing?” Kelesda fell deep into thought when he heard Eternal Night’s words
Kelesda had alsoti, and a fierce expression appeared in his eyes “This guy wants to do so to try and locate an even better opportunity for himself
Because of Kelesda’s incomplete antidote, the Thousand Poisons Toad’s most powerful attacks weren’t entirely effective As a result, its strength had been greatly reduced
Sky City was originally going to be facing a mere weakened Desolate Beast, so their chances of victory were aluaranteed All they needed to focus on noasthe price that they had to pay to win this battle
But Su Chen’s presence had changed things drastically
The Thousand Poisons Toad was an external opponent, while Su Chen was an internal one
Su Chen wouldn’t be Su Chen if he didn’t try to stir up some trouble within the city
Many of the powerful cities throughout history hadn’t been defeated by a siege but rather been sold out and backstabbed by a resident living in that city
Su Chen was like a dagger ai as he tis correctly, he would become a serious problem
For instance, if he shut down Sky City’s defensive barrier by destroying the Arcana Towers, then the Thousand Poisons Toad would have a golden opportunity to attack the city itself And if that let it enter the city, then the Harpies would be suddenly thrust into dire straits
However, Su Chen couldn’t possibly achieve that
The problem with Su Chen was that his presence wasn’t a secret
