That's right. Every mask shop in the city had been completely plundered.
Just as the shopkeepers were about to curse out the Fake Lu Chao's departing troops, they discovered a bag of money had been left in their shops.
The owners of the small shops were utterly bewildered...
They had no idea why the Fake Lu Chao's troops would steal their masks, nor why they would leave money behind.
In any case, they all scurried back into their shops to wait for the conflict to pass.
Outside the city, Lu Chao led his troops, advancing at high speed under the cover of night.
The troops were flanked on both sides by a forest.
Suddenly... ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
Innumerable cries of birds and beasts erupted from the forest, as if a large group of people was hidden within. The soldiers drew their Weapons and glanced to their flanks, going on high alert.
Immediately, countless birds, beasts, and small Demon Beasts charged madly out of the woods.
"Ambush! It's an ambush!"
