Worldwide Simulation Era

Chapter 558 - 558 Death Is The Only End



558 Death Is The Only End

As long as they dared to abandon the people of this city, they would have to be prepared to be hunted down by the Queen at any time.

“City Lord, why are you still thinking? The demons are already at our door. If we don’t leave now, we’ll die!”

“That’s right. The Queen didn’t send any reinforcements. Isn’t she forcing us to die?”

...

“Yeah. How can you blame us for this? Even if those commoners died, it was because the Queen was incompetent!”

Everyone tried to find reasons and excuses to comfort themselves.

As they convinced themselves, they also convinced everyone present.

The City Lord pondered.

If they defended the city now, they would die, but if they abandoned the city, they might also die.

If there were many deserters, even if the Queen were to do a reckoning in the future, she would have to look for them one by one.

There were three Immortal Realm experts and 38 Incarnation Realm cultivators present. If they were to live in seclusion, even the Queen wouldn’t be able to find them all.

“Alright, let’s not delay any further. Let’s act separately, and if something happens in the future, don’t drag each other down.”

The City Lord slammed the table. Just as he stood up and finished speaking, he suddenly felt a powerful aura coming from the teleportation array.

Huh?!

The three Immortal Realm experts were shocked.

“What’s the situation? There is an expert! So many experts!”

Their eyes widened in disbelief.

The City Lord of Yan City seemed to have thought of something. He blurted out, “It’s the capital! It must be the reinforcements from the capital!”

Previously, he had received a spy from the capital. The spy had received information from the front line and said he would return immediately to ask the Queen for a decision.

However, the City Lord of Yan City didn’t expect the reinforcements would arrive less than half a day after the news was sent back.

The cities occupied by the demons had all been destroyed, but they had not received any reinforcements from the capital. Why did so many experts suddenly appear?

“Oh my God, they are all Immortal Realm experts! Her Majesty! Her Majesty is also here!”

“Heavens! It’s Her Majesty personally leading the expedition!”

“Hurry up! Quickly go and welcome her!”

After coming back to their senses, all the big shots of Yan City rushed toward the teleportation portal in a hurry.

By the time they arrived, a large group of Immortal Realm existences with overbearing auras had already gathered at the teleportation array’s exit.

The Incarnation Realm cultivators followed behind the City Lord and the others, trembling in fear.

They had no choice. The group in front of them were all Immortal Realm’s big shots.

Furthermore, they were still discussing how to escape just a moment ago.

This place would probably become their grave.

“Your Majesty!”

More than forty people knelt on the ground in unison. They were terrified and didn’t dare to raise their heads.

The Queen merely glanced at them and waved her hand to signal them to get up.

“What’s going on here? The demons are already close to the city, but you don’t have any defense?”

The Queen was displeased, and the City Lord couldn’t help but feel his heart thump.

He cursed silently.

She made it sound so easy. The army of demons is powerful and unparalleled, sweeping through everything. Their defense forces aren’t even enough to make a crack. What’s there to guard against?

In any case, it was impossible to defend this city no matter what, so it was better to think about how to protect himself.

Of course, he only dared to think about it. He explained, “Your Majesty, we were discussing how to defend when we gathered. I didn’t expect you to come over with reinforcements personally.”

The City Lord pointed at the group of important people behind him.

The other two Immortal Realm experts also agreed.

“Yes, Your Majesty. We were just discussing the defense.”

The Queen glanced coldly at the three and the Incarnation Realm cultivators behind them.

By looking at their expressions, it was obvious they were talking nonsense.

How could she not understand that these guys had no intention of defending the city?

However, the Queen didn’t want to lose three Immortal Realm experts for no reason.

She stared at the three coldly.

“I won’t pursue the truth for the time being. This time, you’re to accompany me to stop the enemy. If you slack off, I’ll kill you on the spot!”

“Yes, we will fight to the death with those demons!”

Cold sweat seeped out of their foreheads. They all acknowledged the order loudly to show their loyalty.

At this moment, a puzzled voice suddenly came from behind the Queen.

“Are you sure this is the closest city to the gathering point of the demons?”

The person who spoke was Lin Qiye.

As soon as he came out of the teleportation formation, he used his divine sense to scan the surroundings.

With Wan Meng’s assistance, his divine sense could cover a radius of ten thousand miles.

However, he did not sense any demonic energy in such a large area.

Everyone in Yan City looked at Lin Qiye in shock. They couldn’t believe that someone would dare to speak to the Queen in such a tone.

But soon, something even more shocking happened.

The anger on the Queen’s face faded, and she calmed down. She explained patiently, “Fanhua City’s geographical location is special. There are many places around it not suitable for human habitation. There are no big cities, so we could only teleport here.”

The Immortal Realm experts gathered in the capital knew Lin Qiye was from the Heavenly God Palace, so they were not surprised by her attitude.

However, the higher-ups of Yan City were unaware of this relationship.

Their mouths hung open as they stared at Lin Qiye in a daze.

The Queen didn’t want to talk much, but she didn’t know as much about the surrounding area as the City Lord of Yan City. Therefore, she introduced Lin Qiye to them.

“This is Lord Holy Infant from the Heavenly God Palace. If he has any questions, you must answer them in detail and not hide anything.”

As soon as the three words “Heavenly God Palace” were mentioned, everyone immediately understood.

It was no wonder that even the Queen had to be polite to him.

The rumors about Lin Qiye were spread mainly within the Shang Empire and the borders of Country Xu.

Yan City was located in the heart of Country Xu. Hence, they didn’t know much about the matters in the Shang Empire. They didn’t know Lin Qiye’s name.

However, the words “Heavenly God Palace” were enough to make everyone present polite, and they did not dare to offend him.

“Yes!”

“I’m the City Lord of Yan City, Zhang Mao. Greetings, Lord Holy Infant.”

Zhang Mao respectfully greeted Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye waved his hand and looked at the residents outside the teleportation array.

“According to the information, this place is the closest to the gathering point of the demons. I can see the residents here are all strong. They are all calm and not affected by the demons.”

Hearing this, the City Lord looked embarrassed.

He stammered, “Lord Holy Infant, you may not know this, but the cities invaded by the demons have completely fallen. No one came out alive, so the news has not spread.”

“That’s right. To prevent the people from panicking, we didn’t spread the news. Only the upper echelons know.”

Although they said so, they were probably the only ones who knew what they were thinking.

Lin Qiye couldn’t help but sigh.

This was the sorrow of mortals. In the face of a catastrophe, they might not even know what happened and would be annihilated.

Seeing Lin Qiye no longer speaking, the City Lord immediately turned to the Queen and smiled.

“Your Majesty and Lord Holy Infant have come in person. I will go and prepare to welcome…”

“There’s no need. This is an emergency. You should get ready and set off immediately.”

Zhang Mao wanted to host a banquet to welcome the experts, but the Queen rudely interrupted him.

“It’s about 13,000 miles from here to Fanhua City. Even if we travel at full speed, it’ll probably take us a day and a half to get there.”

Immortal Realm experts could travel even faster, but they weren’t just rushing. There was an intense battle waiting for them.

Therefore, when they arrived at Fanhua City as soon as possible, they had to ensure they did not consume too much energy.

The consumption of traveling ten thousand miles a day was almost negligible, and it could be quickly replenished.

However, if they were to go any faster, the power they lost would not be able to be replenished shortly.

“It’s too slow. At this speed, those demons would have finished organizing their troops by then.”

Lin Qiye shook his head.

A well-organized army was much stronger than a messy army.

Their combat power was already at a disadvantage. If they didn’t take the opportunity to attack and instead gave them the time to gather, the battle would be even more tricky.

“But we have to ensure we have enough strength. Otherwise, what if we are attacked by the enemy on the battlefield?”

The Queen felt a little helpless. Although Lin Qiye had said he would deal with most of the demons and that they only needed to take care of the little ones that had escaped the net, she was still worried.

However, it was hard to say how many demons would escape.

It could be one. It could also be a hundred.

Therefore, she had to find a way to ensure that her combat power was at its peak. This way, she could maximize the chance of winning this battle.
