Chapter 1338: Monkey & Sheep - Part 2

"Understood Sir, we will get a few Snake Guards to lead you to the battlefield," Rocher said but Royal Zodiac Tiger Major offered to take bring them there instead.

"A few of my soldiers are returning back to the battlefield after a quick rest. They will know the way forward, you can let your guards stay in position." Major Chun Hua replied and Nao Zhong thanked her. To Rocher and Mian Ling, it seems obvious that they know each other and wished to have a bit of a quick catch up. Thus, the Snake Sergeant decided once again not to interfere with any of their orders and let them be on their way.

"Sergeant, I will leave two of my medics with you. Please guide them." Royal Zodiac Sheep Captain Mian Ling said before following behind the Monkey\'s Team. Rocher nodded his head as he brought the two medics to the temporary quarters and answered any questions that they had.

As the fresh team of Royal Zodiac Soldiers went closer to the battlefield with their Qing Gong, they were met with stray fire but it was nothing the Tigers were not able to handle. Chun Hua made sure their rear was protected since Rocher did mention sneak attacks but Nao Zhong was confident that they were all overreacting.

And as they reached the first layer of the Inner Walls, they saw the devastation that was being wrecked in the area. Debris and dead bodies were everywhere but ironically there were no Demon Rats around. The Tigers who had been to the frontlines told them that the bodies were the remnants of those Pandarens who had died while the Demon Rats had been turned into resources.

"Resources?" Nao Zhong asked and the Tigers told them that when they were dead for a long time, their bodies would turn into a sort of material. The problem was that their materials varied. From plant food to various ores, the Demon Rats became all sorts of items that the Tigers could not fathom but there was not an issue since if the Pandarens picked them up, it would not be theirs but in the junk section. Selling or exchanging them at the Hidden Gem Night Market would provide some extra raid points.

The fighting might have been louder but the Monkey Team Leader felt that it was a decent place to set up camp until the Tigers who were on watch suddenly saw Demon Rats crawling up at the west side, splitting their forces between the first and the second layer of broken walls.

"Nao Zhong, focus on finding a spot to establish. Do not fight unless it\'s necessary and make sure that your guards focus on defending your camp building." Chun Hua said as she led the vanguard of Tigers to the enemies in order to annihilate them.

"Are we going to put the two camps together?" Mian Ling said as she adjusted her earpiece once again for the sounds of explosions.

"Keep your teleport crystal for now. We will find some stable ground and build the camp." Nao Zhong said as he climbed up a broken guard tower to search for a good place to put the teleportation crystal and subsequently build the camp. He noticed that the Inner Wall did have 3 layers of walls and they were placed approximately a kilometre away from each other with nothing in between them but empty plains of land. But that was based on the estimation between the first and the second wall and he did not have sight to judge the distance between the second and third.

However, the most prominent feature of the Inner walls is that each wall had differing heights between each of them with the third layer of the wall being the tallest. This meant that the third layer of the wall could provide supporting fire to the first wall if needed and if Nao Zhong haphazardly provided such an open target for the Demon Rats to aim, it would no doubt strain the defences of the camp once it had been set up.

"Hmm, we can hide behind the second wall and create a camp using the wall as a structure to lean on for protection against the incoming attacks. Well, some of the incoming attacks." Nao Zhong thought to himself when he saw the damage done to the walls. He had no idea what had happened to cause such destruction and could only believe that there was a fierce fight here.

Just as he was about to get down from the guard tower, he suddenly heard Mian Ling screaming at him. "DODGE IT!" Mian Ling said but the Monkey Captain was unable to react in time to parry or defend except for letting go of the entire ladder that he was climbing down. Gravity did its job in a nick of time as the shot that was aimed at his heart had been shifted to his shoulder.

However, because the guard tower was of a taller structure compared to the wall itself, the fall could be detrimental to his progress in the current raid instance. Yet Mian Ling worried for nothing even though she ran as fast as possible even using Qi Gong to reach the Guard Tower. This was mainly because Nao Zhong was part of the Royal Zodiac Monkey.

Being a researched focused clan, the Royal Zodiac Monkeys have a plethora of gadgets under them and one of them is a gadget that each Royal Zodiac Monkey Cultivator would have regardless of job and designation.

A mechanical Monkey Tail.

Using their cultivation style and chi to fuel the Monkey Tail Gadget, they were able to simulate having a tail for themselves and that was what Nao Zhong possessed. Using his Monkey Tail Gadget, he managed to hang on one of the steps on the ladder, enabling him to block the fall. (Although he still hit his head and back on the ladder)

Once he stabilised himself, he tried to grab onto another step but another shot came, shooting at the step that he was about to hold. "Fucking Rats!" Nao Zhong said to himself, before flipping backwards so that he could land.

"You alright?" Mian Ling asked as she checked the wound that he had. With her chi, she managed to pull out the bullet while maintaining the blood vessels around it so that they continued to be blocked when she pulled it out. "Sorry if it stings a little, I did not have any painkillers with me at the moment.

"No, I am fine. I found the place where we can establish the camp but after that, I am going to find that bugger who shot me." Nao Zhong\'s frustration was apparent but Mian Ling could only sigh. The Royal Zodiac Sheep Captain quickly shifted him towards the walls so that they will be out of sight of the snipers and judging by the attacks, it seems more than one was around as the shots\' interval was getting shorter and shorter. But even if Nao Zhong wished to take revenge, Mian Ling knows that he was not much of a fighter compared to the brilliant support skills he possessed.

"We will see how it goes once we build our camp." Mian Ling said as she managed to close the wound with her chi while passing the bullet towards Nao Zhong for him to inspect. This is going to be a long day.
