"The City Lord has ordered the two of us to assist Commander Zhao. Naturally, we will lend our aid." A faint male voice came from within the city gates, followed by the appearance of a scholar in white robes and a monk clad in a green kasaya.
The speaker was the scholar, who appeared to be in his early forties.
Commander Zhao, not daring to show any disrespect toward these two cultivators, quickly offered his grateful thanks with a smile.
The scholar and the monk each produced a magic artifact: the scholar retrieved a mirror, while the monk took out a copper bowl. Both began chanting under their breath, forming seals with one hand, before throwing their artifacts into the air.
Immediately, the two artifacts spun and hovered in midair. The mirror emitted a beam of cyan light, enveloping the leading huge tortoise, while the copper bowl released golden light that swept over several nearby Giant Wolf Knights.
