Chapter 1038: Chapter 690 Nightmare (4K)

The grand ceremony of Xuan City will take place in two days, and it will be a frenzy for the people of Xuan City. They will pray devoutly for the peace and prosperity that the Lord of Xuan City has brought to them.

It will also be a frenzy for outsiders, because during this time, the girls of Xuan City become even more enthusiastic. Many outsiders will become residents of Xuan City as a result.

This is the greatest celebration in Xuan City and also the time node for this task.

However, to destroy the statue in the inner city before the end of the grand ceremony would be too difficult.

Although the population of the inner city is far less than that of the outer city, it is basically full of the ’kinsfolk’ of the Queen of Xuan City.

They are the group that has successfully integrated the modified Insect God’s True Blood with their bodies.

It has to be said, the Queen of Xuan City’s research has ultimately yielded results.

The inhabitants of the inner city are those chosen from hundreds of thousands of subjects as suitable recipients of the Insect God’s True Blood.

They maintain their form and rationality, no different from ordinary people. Yet, due to the fusion of the Lord of Xuan City and the Insect God’s True Blood,

they possess combat abilities beyond those of ordinary people.

According to Chen... no, according to the intelligence from the Great Tang Chenhai Capital Protectorate,

the warriors of the inner city are even stronger and more perfect than the berserk warriors of Great Chen.

Among them, the four officiants of Xuan City are exceptionally skilled. Most of their time is spent guarding the statue and praying.

As for the statue itself, whether it has combat capabilities is unknown.

"It’s like Outer Mongolia; even if the statue itself has no combat abilities, it would still be difficult for us to destroy," Qiu Wentian clicked his tongue.

Indeed, its security is like that of Outer Mongolia in the Real World.

Even if other countries wish to invade it and possess stronger military power, there’s nothing they can do.

As Outer Mongolia is enfolded by two permanent members, even if its own power is lacking, as long as it maintains good relations with these two powerful neighbors, it will feel completely secure.

Perhaps destroying the statue is not difficult, but to do so, one would first have to breach the inner city, deal with nearly ten thousand perfect warriors, as well as the four officiants and the Queen of Xuan City.

"And now, your army is gathering. Do you plan to lead your Seventh Expeditionary Army to wage a head-on battle with Xuan City?" Qiu Wentian asked, "I have to be clear, although the Armored Corps is very strong, against an Extraordinary enemy of Xuan City’s scale, the losses are estimated to be huge, very huge. Even if we could smash that statue, the Expeditionary Army would suffer heavy losses."

"Moreover, Xuan City’s unique neutral status, as well as its cooperation with the Great Chen Kingdom. Once war really breaks out, the Great Tang Chenhai Capital Protectorate will probably suffer attacks from many directions," Chen Yu also gave his opinion, "We need to avoid a head-on clash as much as possible."

Once the Protectorate goes to war with Xuan City, Great Chen will inevitably become restless.

They already have a cooperative relationship with Xuan City, and they vie with the Protectorate for the right to speak over the continent both openly and in secret. There’s a high probability they will send troops to interfere.

At that time, the Protectorate would be facing another enemy.

Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, the Protectorate is an invader. Once Great Chen takes the lead in striking, many smaller nations will probably also take the opportunity to carve out a share for themselves.

We need to avoid this outcome at all costs, otherwise even if Li Changhe completes his Task, the Protectorate will be engulfed by war.

Qiu Wentian thought for a moment and said, "A head-on clash is too risky, so why don’t we take action ourselves? Let the Expeditionary Army draw Xuan City’s attention. Meanwhile, we infiltrate the inner city. With our strength, a surprise attack on the inner city shouldn’t be a problem. Those True Blood warriors won’t be able to stop us. However, the Queen of Xuan City’s capabilities are tricky. We need to find a way to avoid her. Although she can spiritually possess women, she probably won’t dare to use that ability in battle. Otherwise, her own body would be vulnerable to attack. As long as Li can hold her off and prevent her from focusing on spiritual possession, we can bypass this counter and enter the inner city."

The Queen’s spiritual possession is very eerie. According to the insect god’s intelligence, any woman within her Divine Country could potentially be subject to her spiritual possession.

This is a new ability developed by the Queen of Xuan City after the mutual assimilation between the insect god and the Lord of Xuan City. Within the range of her Divine Country, she can effortlessly break through the psychic defenses of women.

One of the reasons she invites the talented youths and beautiful women of the continent

is that she plans to obtain a body that can perfectly accommodate her own.

For this Task, to avoid a male-only assault, the officials specifically recruited three female players.

This means that aside from the only male player, Li Changhe, the other three should not rashly enter the inner city of Xuan City.

Otherwise, once the battle begins, if the opponent were to possess the bodies of teammates and backstab, that would be the worst-case scenario.

Fortunately, based on the information from the insect god, divine creatures can somewhat resist such spiritual possession.

Therefore, Xiao Nan may be able to enter Xuan City alongside Li Changhe.

"No, Xiaoqiu, you’ve overlooked one point. There’s another dangerous factor in this Task," Xiao Nan spoke up, "The Lord of Xuan City is currently suppressing the insect god. If we were to truly destroy the statue, the insect god might be freed as a result. With the insect god’s abilities, it would only take a short time in a deserted corner to recover some strength."

"Hmm, I’ve considered this. Even if we complete the Task and leave this world, it’ll leave behind a huge disaster here, and the Protectorate will also suffer from the ensuing siege," Li Changhe responded, "We need to come up with a plan that suppresses the insect god once again while destroying the statue."
