Doomsday Code

Chapter 884 Chen Cheng's Compassion

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, after leaving the street where the City Lord's Mansion was located, Squidward, who had been lying silently on Chen Cheng's shoulder, suddenly started panting heavily.

"I'm exhausted. Luckily, that guy didn't notice."

Then Squidward wiped away non-existent sweat and said to Chen Cheng:

"Kid, you owe me a favor this time, don't forget it."

Chen Cheng had already achieved his goal, and now he naturally agreed to everything that Squidward, the hero, said.

At the same time, Sheli frowned and said:

“This Elav is very good at hiding. Just now, there was someone lying in ambush in the shadows in the office. If we don’t gain his trust this time, we might not be able to leave that room.”

Although Chen Cheng has the beginnings of a divine realm, when it comes to detecting and judging enemies, it is still Sheli, who fought his way out of the City of Sin, who is the best at it.

He said that if he couldn't leave that house, the guy hiding there was very likely an epic-level expert.

Even if an epic-level powerhouse who is on guard, joins forces with Sheli, they are unlikely to defeat their opponent.

Therefore, the saying "let go" is also correct.

"Fortunately, we have achieved our goal and can head to the garrison camp in Naengla tomorrow. This is our only chance, and you will need to find a way to get there."

Just as the Prince of Pingbei said before, the path to the Great Wall has long been blocked, and to get there one must cross the garrison's defense line.

The garrison defenses in this world are not just about manpower and outposts, but also include a large number of magic arrays inscribed by magic array masters.

These magic arrays have all sorts of functions, but they can be roughly divided into three categories.

The first type is the offensive type. These magic arrays are determined by different attribute magic templates embedded in the array core, and their weaknesses are very obvious.

Since it's just an amplified version of the same type of magic, it can be easily broken using the same methods used to break this type of magic.

At the same time, the frequency and number of times these magic arrays are launched cannot be too high, otherwise the core will immediately overload and explode.

The second type is the sensing type, and this type of magic array is the true core magic array.

It can not only perform long-range reconnaissance similar to radar, but also automatically detect and identify foreign enemies.

For example, after the first beast tide hit Huidun City, the Keelung Legion sent by Modunik set up such a detection magic array.

Of course, this type of magic array also has its own drawbacks. It can only be set up in a fixed location and cannot be moved like a real radar.

The third type is the combination magic array, which is also where the army's true strength lies.

These magical formations can be combined with the army's existing military formations to form a harmonious formation. They can also pull young men who have never received military training into the formation, making them the cornerstone of the magical gods formed by the military formation.

This can be considered the most secret of all kingdoms. The reason why the major kingdoms can be called great kingdoms is not only because they have more than one demigod-level powerhouse, but also because they all have such a super-large-scale harmonious magic array.

It can form a massive, coordinated military formation with over a million personnel.

Of course, all such magic arrays have a fatal flaw: they cannot be moved and can only be used as fixed points.

Furthermore, using these magic arrays requires an extremely skilled magic array master.

After all, the scaling up of a magic array is often not proportional, but requires precise and complex calculations.

Chen Cheng learned all this when a military magic array master he met during the beast tide in Huidun City mentioned it to him in a casual conversation.

These classifications of magic arrays are considered secrets by outsiders, but for magic array masters, they are irrelevant as long as they don't involve the core of the magic array.

Furthermore, Chen Cheng later shared his experience in setting up magic arrays with these magic array masters.

The heat-conducting magic array he created later was something he figured out himself while discussing magic arrays with them.

Rather than calling the thermal conductivity magic array a magic array, it can actually be described as a magic array created by utilizing the superconductivity of mithril material itself.

What Chen Cheng told Sheli was that he should use Shadow Demon to find a feasible route tomorrow so that he and Sheli could cross the blockade together.

Entering the garrison camp would be the best opportunity to observe their military magic array.

Chen Cheng believed that with his cooperation with Sheli, they would definitely be able to find a flaw. This flaw didn't need to be too big; just a small gap enough for a shadow to pass through would suffice.

Nothing was said that night, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Chen Cheng woke up from his sleep to the sound of chanting from the morning prayers next door.

After washing up in the morning, Chen Cheng hesitated for a moment before calling over the deer-human girl.

He took a spatial bag from his waist and handed it to her, then whispered a few words in her ear before leading the Snow Woman and the others out.

Looking at the tightly closed door, the deer-like beastwoman gripped the spatial bag in her hand, and then she summoned all the beastwoman women in the courtyard.

"The gentleman gave me a large sum of money. He said Miss Xue'er likes us very much and wants to take us south back to the inland. So I've decided to go back and discuss it with my parents first. What about your decision?"

Although the deer-orc girl spoke lightly, a slight tremor could still be heard in her voice.

However, the other half-orc girls thought she was just excited. After all, Chen Cheng and Xue Nu were not harsh people after spending the past two days with them. They not only did not beat or insult them, but also bought them clothes and jewelry.

And of course, they were very happy to have such a host family.

"But Sister Lu, now that we've all gone back, what will happen to the young master and the others when they return, with no one to serve them?"

At this moment, a rabbit-beastwoman spoke up.

The deer-like beastwoman said:

"The sir and the others have important business to attend to today, so they won't be coming back. That's what the sir just told me. He told me to tell you that if you want to agree, it's today."

Upon hearing that Chen Cheng and the others wouldn't be returning today, these half-orc women were all naturally willing.

So they quickly found the head maid from before and told her that they wanted to go back and discuss with their parents about leaving with Chen Cheng and the others.

Chen Cheng's reputation for being generous had already spread throughout the city in the past two days, so the head maid didn't suspect anything. At the same time, she sincerely wished the deer-orc girl and the others well.

After reporting their arrival, the deer-orc girl and her companions left Baiya Residence and went out of the city.

But as soon as she left the city, the deer-orc girl immediately started running.

The other orc girls following behind her had no idea why she was in such a hurry, but when they saw her speeding up, they all sped up as well.

"Sister Lu, slow down, be careful not to fall."

The orc girl behind them called out.

At this moment, the deer-orc girl looked at the city gate that had already disappeared into the distance behind her, stopped in her tracks, and then told Chen Cheng what he had whispered to her earlier.

"Sisters, actually the young master didn't say he was going to take us away. He came to the Northern Border to do something big."

The great things he did would anger Lord Elav, so the young master took pity on us and told me these things before leaving so that we wouldn't be implicated and harmed because of him.

"At the same time, the young master really did give me a large sum of money. We can use this money to allow our people to relocate to other suitable places to recuperate."
