At this moment, the group of soldiers coming from the Dry City were already moving in the vicinity of that fort to start the attack on that place finally.
There was no defensive array in this fort, so there would be no additional restrictions for them to invade. And although this may seem strange to those who do not know the Spiritual World well, this was the common practice in this region.
Because, in a place like this, a branch outpost that didn't even have a Spiritual King, it didn't make sense to make such an investment in a low-level grade-2 defensive array. There were no confidential documents in this place, as anything like that would be kept in the main fort of that city, where there was a Spiritual King on guard.
Precisely for that reason, yes, there was a low-level grade-2 barrier to protect that main post from the Royal Guard of the Brown Kingdom in this city.
In contrast, places like this fort, which was now a target for Minos' soldiers, did not receive this kind of investment. After all, what kind of lunatic would try to invade a place without confidential information, valuable artifacts, not even powerful cultivators?
That is, who would risk pissing off a royal family, one of the high-level regional powers, just because of a small branch that would undoubtedly be worthless?
A possible attack on a place like this could create a mortal debt to the people who would do such a thing. But, on the other hand, the royal family of this region would not even miss these few people at this post!
Hence, the confidence that the Brown Kingdom Royal Guard had was significant enough for them to be sure that it would be a waste to invest such a thing on such a base.
Even if a lunatic did show up, most likely, the other outposts in these cities would be able to realize it in no time and send reinforcements.
Consequently, this place was unprotected, ideal for the mission of these many soldiers from the Black Plain Army, who at the time were already infiltrated in this place.
Minos' soldiers were in this place to kidnap about 100 people. Half of them were supposed to be Spiritual Generals and the rest Spiritual Warriors. And for that, they planned to act quickly, without creating a commotion, catching each of these people off guard.
First, they were in a group of just over 100 soldiers, and each of them was already in the 5th stage of cultivation. In other words, they were more numerous than their targets, but also stronger individually!
Second, even though some of the targets in this group could sense the cultivation level of opponents in the vicinity, the group of soldiers still had some space to act without being noticed.
That's because the range of action of the spiritual probe was not extensive enough for people in the 5th stage to feel the spiritual fluctuations in the total area of a fort similar to this one. In fact, such a thing was relatively short and barely reached 100 meters for Spiritual Generals in an open space.
Also, even though some people could feel some of Minos' soldiers moving through this location, given the proximity of these targets to the soldiers, that doesn't mean that such a thing would happen. After all, the spiritual probe would need to be done by that cultivator, or else he wouldn't notice the strength of potential opponents even if the invaders were right beside them!
After thinking about it, the soldiers coming from the Dry City had not immediately attacked this fort when they arrived in the vicinity of this place three hours ago.
On the one hand, guards at the end of their shift were always more careful in their work. On the other, those who had just started their periods also had this same characteristic.
And as an experienced person, already at level 45, Humbert had led his team wisely, waiting for the right moment to act!
...
After receiving the orders to begin the invasion of this fort, the many soldiers quickly made their way to enter this place in silence, aiming to finish off their opponents as soon as possible.
Of the more than 100 soldiers, they had split into about 30 groups of 3 or 4 people, teams that had previously positioned themselves at different points around this fort.
And after receiving the authorization to start the mission and entering that place, all these groups began to knock out their opponents in the approximately 30 different posts around this fort!
...
On one of the walls of the northernmost fort in the Maritime City, two guards walked calmly in that spot as they watched the outside terrain.
At the moment, the silence predominated that place. The refreshing breeze typical of this region passed through there, making sounds a little louder from time to time.
But the three people were barely talking. That's because these individuals already did this together every day and still had to work for several hours straight. So, there wasn't that much to talk to each other.
And while these three men were diligently doing their work, one of them suddenly felt that three people at level 43 were approaching that spot, coming from inside the fort.
'Hmm? Is there a problem and our supervisors…' He was thinking about it when he suddenly received a blow to the head, at the same time, which he was still turning to look in the direction of those 'supervisors.'
Pa!
Pa!
Pa!
The three were knocked out in a split second, so quickly that none of them realized what had happened.
After that, the three soldiers quickly placed necklace-shaped spiritual arrays around the necks of those knocked-out guards to seal the cultivation of the three!
"Leland, you keep watch, and Gary and me, we're going to hide these two people in that room 50 meters from here." One of them said as he had already taken the bodies of two of those three guards, placing two on Gary's back and one on his own back.
As level 43 cultivators, these soldiers were physically powerful, and carrying these people on their backs was as easy as drinking a glass of water!
"All right!"
Right after that, this small team moved through that part of the fort, taking the necessary precautions not to draw attention, avoiding the places where there were guards nearby.
They did this for about a minute until they finally reached the room where they didn't take long to place the unconscious bodies of those guards.
"Come on, change your clothes and put on these guys' uniforms. Let's infiltrate this place, following Mrs. Abby's plan." The same man from before said this. At the same time, he was already taking off his shirt.
Part of the invasion was to act like these three had done a few moments ago. But for those who could do this quickly and without difficulty, the ideal would be to do what this man had just suggested.
Disguise themselves in the uniforms of those guards!
As much as they might be recognized as imposters due to their cultivation levels, it could still give them an advantage. After all, even if the local guards noticed them, most of them would undoubtedly have to think twice or more before acting against the disguised soldiers!
With that, Abby had ordered this method of infiltration to increase the success rate of this mission.
Finally, the three soldiers wasted no time taking off the guards' clothes and putting them on. After that, they headed towards the innermost part of this fort, where the strongest royal guards should be.
...
While this group was doing its work, several other soldiers taking part in this attack had faced situations similar to the previous one.
They surprised their opponents, knocked them out, and then sealed the cultivations of each of those people. After that, some soldiers changed their uniforms, but others had not.
Only those soldiers who took down enemies from the 5th stage of cultivation were doing this, as there were differences in the uniforms of the royal guards in this fort.
As for the other soldiers, those who couldn't do that had to keep watch in this fort to prevent anyone from leaving or even entering this place.
