Heiting Yanting instinctively squinted his eyes.

"Where?" Next to him, Lingqin suddenly became tense, displaying an unusual fierceness.

The turmoil in Divine Artisan City had occurred on the very night the dwarves announced the three divine artisans. Standing at the center of the stage, Lingqin would never forget the embarrassment she felt facing the mocking gazes of the All Races of the Universe below, even thinking that she had been humiliated.

Usually, she had a gentle personality, but that time, she had her first impulse to destroy those people.

"It should be, it should be two people!" The person estimating the gravity of the situation hurriedly reported, feeling a bit anxious. Under the pressure of a peak expert divine artisan, the words came out stuttering.

"One is him!"

The person pointed to Cloud Summit Manor on the light barrier and said, "The Divine Eye shows that one mark is right inside!"

This news clearly stunned both Heiting Yanting and Lingqin for a moment.

Then, they both quickly understood.

So that’s how it is!

With that, everything that had happened before became reasonable.

Why would this person act against the dwarves? Because he harbored animosity towards them; originally, he was an agent of the dwarves but defected to other races, feeling resentment, thus leading to his actions was understandable.

However, this person had good luck, was cunning, and possessed top-notch manufacturing skills, gaining external assistance, which is why he had become the source of trouble for the dwarves today!

Heiting Yanting sneered, and the temperature in the room dropped.

"What about the other person?"

The leader of the Tarros Red Dwarf asked again.

"The other one is currently located at... Aojieluo Town."

"Where?" Heiting Yanting's voice rose slightly.

"Aojie... Oh, it’s about fifty kilometers southwest of Acklos City." The subordinate quickly explained, realizing that his master had never heard of the town's name.

Acklos City was relatively famous, known as a major agricultural area and trade center recognized by the All Races of the Universe, where the dwarves had a considerable amount of business.

Heiting Yanting thought for a moment, then took out his terminal to check, and said softly, "It seems we don't have many people there."

Lingqin was also checking and nodded after hearing her husband’s words: "That place is mostly a neutral area; not only us, but other super clans also don't have much power there."

"What should we do? Should I take some people there?" Lingqin clearly wanted to take action herself, seeking her husband's opinion.

Heiting Yanting shook his head, "Of course we are going, you can go too, but it can't just be a small group!"

"You take the molybdenum legion with you, and take two pieces of divine level equipment!"

Heiting Yanting's voice echoed in the room, startling the assistant who hadn’t yet left.

Basically, if the divine level equipment created by a divine artisan had not been sold, then the artisan who made it has absolute usage rights, after all, they know the equipment best.

This assistant knew that Lingqin had been using that divine level equipment she crafted, plus another piece of divine level equipment and a formidable legion made entirely of Tarros Red Dwarves; taking such a team to a mostly neutral city and survivor fortress seemed... not very appropriate, right?

Lingqin also thought of this issue. She looked at Heiting Yanting and said, "Most of the places there are neutral cities; no race has a heavy military presence there. If we rashly bring an entire legion, along with three peak experts, I fear it may cause unnecessary trouble."

After all, the dwarves had not yet reached a level where they could contend with all the races of the universe on their own.

Heiting Yanting smiled, "Right, we shouldn't go that way, but instead… have the third mechanical legion withdraw, and set off with you and the molybdenum legion. We are not going with one legion but with two! Five peak experts, six pieces of divine level equipment! No matter who is hiding in that town, or which power they belong to, we will crush them to dust!"
