In short, the strategy of concentrating forces and luring the enemy out to implement the decapitation plan in one go has failed, and Xiwei can only consider a new strategy.

Of course, during this time, they didn't just sit and do nothing.

After Sivi carried a large number of magic artifacts from the Guò Magic Ship to Helnosen, the combat efficiency of the Soul Envoy was significantly improved.

It's not that it can directly improve their combat effectiveness - after all, almost all of the strength of the soul tools comes from their soul tools, and almost all of the magic tools are far inferior to the soul tools produced by the system in terms of mystery, and if you fight head-on, you will be completely crushed.

In fact, the artifacts that Sylvy had brought with him were just a replica of the Cured Mage's Eyes that resembled a surveillance camera in Hailnoxen, and a replica of the Academy Beacon that could be used as a radio - both of which were made by Edric's Alchemy Workshop.

There are also some devices that can support large protective barriers, but while they are rare in the Eastern Plains, they are not completely absent.

Although progress is slow, there is no doubt that Edric's various magic techniques are indeed improving (and he has already left behind other magic technology institutions in the Eastern Plains several streets), which also allows Sivi to gradually get rid of the constraints of the academy system's own achievement mall.

In short, after completing the two major aspects of monitoring and communication, Xiwei and his party have at least done a good job of knowing the city of Haier Norson, and several times the soul hunter wanted to incite the people to create chaos through guò, but they were discovered in time and stopped.

After failing a few times, and even trying to go to extremes, assassinating the soul envoys on Xiwei's side failed one after another, and was almost caught by Xiwei and them, the soul hunter seemed to have given up the route of using this small method in the city. When Xiwei was unprepared, they suddenly concentrated their firepower to break through and escape from Haier Norsen in one go.

After he left, even the hordes of corpse dragons that had been hovering over and around the city gradually disappeared.

At one point, the lord of Helnosen thought that the crisis had been resolved, and asked Sivi to lift the barrier.

Although the barrier set up by Sivi effectively became a barrier for Hellnossen when the corpse dragons were still alive, it was only when the enemy retreated. The enchantment is like a prison cage, and it's a bit of an eyesore.

To this request, Sivi did not agree, he believed that the enemy did not leave.

The reason is simple, because his active mission did not fail.

You must know that there is a clause in the mission rules that if the enemy soul hunter leaves the designated place with the soul device, that is, Haier Norsen and its surroundings, the mission will be declared a failure.

The current situation is obviously just a ploy of the other side.

After weighing the strength comparison between himself and Xiwei, the city lord of Haier Norsen wisely gave up and continued to fight with Xiwei.

Two days later, the group of corpse dragons reappeared over Helnothan. The Soul Hunter proved with his actions that Sivi's guess was not wrong.

This also made the city lord glad that he didn't force Xiwei to withdraw the barrier, but the people who came to Haier Norsen later made the city lord unhappy.

"I am Philip of the Horngolat Empire. Ranjit, with the rank of brigadier general. ”

The man who looked ragged and only a little better than a beggar probably felt that he had finally escaped the danger of his life, and showed a rebellious expression to the lord of Helnothan, who was one rank lower than him in terms of official position.

"Brigadier General, ...... you?"

Although he checked the other party's military badge and didn't find anything wrong, a brigadier general with a light pole came inexplicably, and he couldn't even bring a guard or attendant, which naturally made the city lord feel incomprehensible.

"On the way here with General Ben's army, he was ambushed by the enemy."

The brigadier general's face turned red. Then it was back to normal in a moment: "There are heavy casualties, so I can only recuperate here for a while." ”

It's not so much the casualties. It's better to say you're the only one, right?

This was ignored by the brigadier general on the side, and Sivi, who was listening to their conversation, was naturally a little noncommittal.

In contrast, it was the news that the Soul Hunters were trying to block Hailnoxen was more valuable.

After taking down the brigadier general who could already be regarded as useless, at most making a good relationship for himself after the matter was over, and putting him under house arrest in disguise, the city lord of Haier Northen discussed it with Xiwei.

"It was my decision to ask for help from the royal family of Hohengolat...... Before you arrive. So I sent someone to break out and deliver the letter. This straw bag was supposed to be the reinforcements for us to relieve our difficulties, but I didn't expect ......" In order to prevent Xiwei's suspicions, the city lord of Haier Northen explained the matter and the situation, but when he said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Hellon Northen is a big commercial city, and it is already a very bad situation that the sea route is controlled by those corpse dragons." If even land aid is cut off, it can only be described as unimaginable. ”

"How long can the supplies that Haier Northen has in stock last now?"

Sivi asked.

"Three more days at most."

The lord of the city told the truth.

"That's enough." Sivi didn't explain much: "If you still haven't been able to get rid of that soul hunter after three days, then I'll do it myself." ”

In three days, the time limit of the task will be reached, and once the task fails, there is naturally no need to continue to follow the rules and not to do it with the other party in person.

Even though that guy had a lot of soul equipment to protect him, Xiwei still had no doubts that he would lose to him.

"That's good...... Do you still act the way you set it out today? The city lord showed a slightly relaxed expression, and he didn't know if he was really relieved, but he was just deliberately doing his acting skills.

And the method he said that Xiwei had set before was that when there was no special countermeasure, the soul envoys would quietly take action to kill those corpse dragons and try their best to reduce the strength of the other party.

The corpses of dragons are not so easy to get, and one of these corpse dragons dies is one less.

Sivi nodded in reply, and just as he was about to continue to discuss the future action plan with the city lord, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to shake.

Sivi frowned, he didn't pay attention to the panicked city lord beside him, but closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, and then opened his eyes and snorted coldly.

The shaking quickly stopped, and before the city lord could ask him anything, the door to the conference room was slammed open, and Horna appeared in the doorway.

Her gaze stayed on Xiwei's face and said sternly.

"Hayer Northen City, floating in the sky." (To be continued......)
