A sudden burst of firelight illuminated half the night sky, prompting people from the other factions' camps to flee toward it. Everyone is willing to take advantage of a fallen enemy, especially when that enemy is the Alliance, making many eager to join in. The glow and heat from the fiercely burning flames made people's blood boil with excitement.
For a moment, streaks of light flashed across the night sky in the fringe area, yet every person heading toward the Alliance Camp remained silent, their eyes firmly fixed on the Alliance's firelight. Everyone was wondering who would dare to strike at the Alliance's camp so boldly. However, just hearing the sounds coming from the Alliance was not enough to determine who was attacking, which made them even more eager to uncover the current situation, lest their own camps get drawn into the mix.
Huge explosions kept occurring, causing the entire ground to tremble and people's hearts to quake with fear. The overwhelming noise, even unseen, was enough to imagine the heart-stopping scene. It also made people wonder just how many terrifying weapons of destruction the Alliance must have stored in their camp to create such dreadful blasts.
The originally bright white lights appeared to dim in the firelight, with some circuits damaged due to the fighting, causing portions of the previously bright camp to fall into darkness. Silhouettes darted about swiftly, each holding weapons, while some individuals emitted flashes of various lights from their bodies. They all looked hurried and filled with rage.
No one expected an attack on the Alliance's camp at night, nor that the attackers could have left the Alliance in such chaos.
"Quick! Quick! Quick!" someone shouted, directing soldiers to move toward the clash, the anger in his eyes nearly consuming him entirely. However, no matter how fast these soldiers moved, they couldn't match the speed of the Superpower Users.
Not long after the attack began, the Alliance had already figured out how many were assaulting their camp. Just ten Superpower Users had thrown the entire camp into disarray, although this was partly because the Alliance was unprepared. Originally, several forces had reached a tenuous balance on the outskirts, and nobody planned to disrupt it. However, these attackers forcibly shattered that balance.
The people of the Alliance were not only opposing the attackers but also had to guard against opportunists looking to take advantage of the chaos. Such a great commotion could not have gone unnoticed by other factions.
"Damn it, have we identified who's attacking the camp?" someone else shouted in the darkness, their voice soon swallowed by flickering firelight.
The sounds of explosions continued, yet the Alliance's reaction was swift as they mobilized people to encircle the attackers while also setting up defense lines on the perimeter to prevent both the attackers' escape and opportunistic raiders from entering.
Indeed, streaks of light soon appeared outside the Alliance Camp. These individuals came with a mindset of either spectating or taking advantage, so some immediately spoke upon seeing the Alliance people.
"Do you need any help? We'd be more than happy to lend a hand." The tone was genuinely sincere, their smile utterly sincere. Without knowing better, one might truly believe their words.
Oliver, overseeing the perimeter defense, was angrily gazing at the firelight inside the camp when he heard the voices from outside. He turned to see a group of Superpower Users glowing with various lights, as if worried others wouldn't know their identities. Narrowing his eyes slightly to scrutinize this band of ill-intentioned Superpower Users, he then slowly replied, "No need. We can handle this. If you have nothing else to do, you'd better go wash up and sleep early, lest you get accidentally hurt later." His meaning was very clear.
However, the Superpower Users there were well-versed in various situations and completely ignored Oliver's dismissal. The person who spoke earlier chuckled lightly, saying, "We're friends with the Alliance. How can we stand by when our friends are in trouble?"
This made the Alliance seem unreasonable.
"In that case, please wait outside for a moment." Oliver didn't bother arguing further. He knew that those people just wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he couldn't drive them away since the attackers weren't dealt with yet. Offending those outside would create more trouble. It was better to let them watch from outside, as long as he remained cautious, even if they couldn't have a chance to strike.
The others, seeing Oliver's attitude, said no more and watched the firelight from outside the Alliance Camp. The camp wasn't very large, but some temporary structures obstructed the view, preventing them from seeing inside. If they could ascend and fly, they might see the inner situation, but no one would want to provoke the Alliance now. Not seeing the inside didn't bother them; the worry was that the Alliance might attack and find any excuse to do so.
A child, initially searching for Yi Tian and his group in the fringe area, was now hovering in the air, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the events inside the Alliance Camp. He had been happily in search within the fringe when suddenly, the sounds of explosions reached him. Curiosity piqued, he hurried toward the Alliance Camp, arriving just in time to see Xiao Ruo, Long Feiyun, and others also arriving. However, he kept hidden, watching by himself.
The child had no interest in taking advantage in the chaos; after all, if he wanted, he could uproot the entire Alliance Camp without anyone sensing his presence. Now, with narrowed eyes, he watched those ten unidentified Superpower Users creating havoc within the Alliance Camp.
Seeing this spectacle, the child truly wanted to clap in delight. But, to avoid revealing his position, he forced himself to hold back. Engrossed in what he was watching, he suddenly noticed a shadow speeding toward the fringe. The person had concealed their presence well, yet the child still detected them.
The shadow's stealth piqued the child's interest, and leaving the lively Alliance Camp behind, he trailed after the shadow silently. The shadow was on the opposite side of the Alliance Camp, and the path toward the fringe was guarded by Alliance people. To enter the fringe, the shadow would need to penetrate that defense. With the Alliance Camp in upheaval, the guards were on high alert, making the passage through the defense quite challenging.
The child was curious to see who dared clash with the guns at this moment. He quickly closed in on the shadow, but to avoid detection, he carefully concealed his presence, knowing the person excelled at stealth.
