I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1547 - Chapter 1547 Chapter 1548 Release the Person Immediately

Chapter 1547: Chapter 1548: Release the Person Immediately Chapter 1547: Chapter 1548: Release the Person Immediately The trade caravan from the City of Hope was brought by the City Guard of the Holy Light City to a small courtyard near the City Lord Mansion. After arranging a few guards to watch over them, they all withdrew.

“Captain, how do they plan to treat us, are they going to kill us?” an NPC worker asked, somewhat worriedly.

Jiang Guo’s face turned grim, and he shook his head slightly, “If they kill us, it will definitely cause panic among other city’s trade caravans, which would have a negative effect on the commerce of Holy Light City. I suspect, they will keep us under house arrest for a while…”

“Damn it, it’s clear they are bullying us. Our goods are the most ordinary, the simplest of items, how could they possibly contain contraband!” Wang Yueyao said angrily.

“Hmph, Yueyao, haven’t you realized yet? ‘Where there is a will, there is a way,’ they’re just deliberately giving us trouble…” Su Nan shook his head from the side.

The other NPC workers in the caravan were quietly discussing among themselves, while Jiang Guo and the others, who were player characters, were using communicators to contact the City of Hope, reporting the situation.

“What, the City Lord himself is coming to rescue us?” Wang Yueyao suddenly exclaimed.

“The City Lord, the City Lord has advanced to a Legendary Realm warrior, and he even killed more than a dozen Legendary Realm warriors. This, this is too incredible!”

“Holy Light City is a dependent city of the Church of Light, and there are also quite a few Legendary Realm warriors in the city. If the City Lord comes alone for the rescue, wouldn’t his strength be a bit insufficient?” Su Nan said in a low voice.

“There must be some assurance, otherwise, why would the City Lord come alone?” Jiang Guo shook his head, clearly, the City Lord was now invincible among his peers.

“I hope the City Lord can rescue us.” Su Nan felt somewhat dubious and sighed.

“The City Lord will definitely get us out, everyone just relax.” Jiang Guo nodded and said.

The group was thus detained in a small courtyard, surrounded by guards whose faces were expressionless as they watched them. Should any of them make any unusual movements, the guards would immediately grip their weapons with heightened vigilance.

“I advise you to behave yourselves. Two priests from the Church of Light are waiting for your City Lord in Holy Light City. Once the two esteemed priests kill your City Lord, the best outcome for you will be to spend your lifetime in prison!” a soldier clad in silver full-body armor said coldly, eyeing the group.

“What, this is a trap?” Jiang Guo stood up in surprise, his face full of anger.

“Hmph, what did you think? The City of Hope refused the invitation of the City Alliance and even killed the Church of Light’s Holy Maiden, not to mention slaying Holy Light City’s Guardian, Lord Muses. Hmph, all of you from the City of Hope deserve to die!” a guard said maliciously.

“That’s because you…” Wang Yueyao could not help wanting to argue, but Jiang Guo pulled her back and shook his head at her.

“Arguing over this now is pointless, talk less,” Jiang Guo said softly.

A sense of sorrow hung in the air in the courtyard as the group sighed and lamented. Even some NPC workers started to sob quietly.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the defense barrier of Holy Light City suddenly shone brightly, and a deafening roar echoed from afar.

“Someone is attacking the city!” a guard exclaimed, gripping his weapon tightly.

“How can this be, the defense barrier of Holy Light City, constructed by the Temple of Hope, is imbued with the holy light of the God of Light. Even a Legendary Realm warrior should not be able to breach it!”

“Look, there’s only one person attacking the city defenses. Has he gone mad!”

…

The people from Jiang Guo also stood up and looked off into the distance.

“The City Lord, it’s the City Lord! He’s come to save us!” Wang Yueyao, with her sharp eyes, recognized Song Jian from over a kilometer away and couldn’t help getting excited.

“The City Lord, did the City Lord come alone?” Su Nan murmured in disbelief.

He had just been communicating with the players inside the City of Hope, and they said the City Lord had come alone to rescue them. Su Nan had been somewhat incredulous, but now, seeing the silhouette outside the light screen, he even felt the illusion that it might be a hallucination.

“Your City Lord is too crazy, daring to come alone and cause trouble in the City of Light, it’s just…” a Guardian couldn’t help shaking his head.

“He won’t be able to break through the City of Light’s defenses, even if he is a warrior from the Legendary Realm!” another one said coldly.

Yet at that moment, dazzling sword lights bloomed in the sky, and the City of Light’s defensive light barrier shattered under the bright sword flashes, turning into a sky full of shimmering fragments. Meanwhile, the control tower inside the Church of Light at the city’s center, too, collapsed with a thunderous roar.

For a moment, the Guardians watching over the people from Jiang Guo fell utterly silent, and their gazes towards them suddenly became strange.

“Hehe, impossible to breach, you say? Or are my eyes deceiving me?” Wang Yueyao started laughing.

“Hmph, even if he’s broken the defense, what can he do alone? There are not a few Legendary Realm warriors inside the City of Light…” the same Guardian who said the defense couldn’t be breached sneered.

Soon, a group of Legendary Realm warriors took to the sky to confront Song Jian, and a smug smile appeared on that Guardian’s lips, just as he was about to mock them. However, he suddenly saw that the Legendary Realm warriors of the City of Light were flying instead towards the City Lord Mansion; the Guardians’ faces changed abruptly, sensing an ominous premonition.

…

As expected, the group of Legendary Realm warriors directly broke into the City Lord Mansion, dragged out the Lord and threw him at Song Jian’s feet.

“City Lord Song, this is all his doing. The City Lord of the City of Light acted on his own. Now, we hand him over to you, for you to deal with as you please!”

Song Jian looked down at Toss, the City Lord who lay trembling at his feet, and suddenly felt an uninterested boredom.

“Forget it, hand over the people and goods of the City of Hope, and compensate with three pieces of legendary-quality equipment, and we’ll call it even,” Song Jian shook his head and said.

He knew that behind this situation was the Church of Light up to their old tricks, but he alone, however strong, couldn’t possibly be a match for the entire Church of Light. And the Church wouldn’t send a god-level warrior to kill him – there was a delicate balance between them for now.

Toss’s body stiffened, as he looked up at Song Jian in disbelief.

He knew he was just a scapegoat thrown out for execution, already prepared to be killed by Song Jian in a fit of rage, but unexpectedly, Song Jian actually let him go and merely asked for some compensation.

“What, you’re not willing?” Song Jian looked toward Toss.

“No, no, I’m willing, very willing!” Toss quickly nodded: “The City Lord Mansion has it; I’ll bring it right now!”

“Release my people first!” Song Jian’s eyes narrowed as he spoke.

Toss shivered; Song Jian’s gaze was sharp, piercing into his heart like a blade: “Immediately, immediately, release them at once…”
