Outside the city, on a barren mountain, several people climbed high to look far into the distance, watching the city lights.
The leader glanced over the message on the Mother-child Talisman in his hand, then tilted his head left and right and said, "The people inside the city may have already discovered the target and are looking for a chance to make a move. Changes could happen at any moment. Have everyone ready to respond."
The person on the left said, "We've been ready for a while. Once something happens and the Xun Gate and City Defense Array are closed, we'll immediately charge over, forcefully break the array, and extract them."
