Chapter 1041: Chapter 692: You Gave Birth to an Alien

When the news of the Great Tang Protectorate’s army gathering towards Xuan City reached the outer city, it was already the afternoon of that day.

After obtaining this news from the announcement, the people of Xuan City were shocked.

Following that, as subjects of the Great Tang Protectorate, people like Guo Yi immediately faced hostility and were surrounded by the citizens of Xuan City.

Although the Great Tang Protectorate’s response was to campaign against the aliens, all the people of Xuan City took it as an excuse.

They believed that the Great Tang Protectorate simply wanted to make a move against Xuan City.

They wanted to target this city-state which for a century had maintained neutrality and specifically provided refuge to women and children.

After all, from the outside world’s view, Xuan City was known for its beautiful women and plentiful resources. Its geographical location was also extremely advantageous. It was a very appropriate target for conquest.

However, over the past century, there had been countries with no regard for this who offended Xuan City. They had all been repelled by the citizens of Xuan City, some even becoming history.

The people of Xuan City believed this time would be no exception.

So, many Xuan City citizens with abundant martial virtues even wanted to drive away Guo Yi and his group right now.

They gathered outside the inn’s entrance, with an air of wanting to storm the inn and overthrow this small squad.

The young proprietress of the inn, however, remained silent. Most of the rooms had been booked by Guo Yi, and she had no reason to drive them away. The outer city’s patrol squad could only maintain order in front of the inn.

At this time, Li Changhe was in the room, silently observing the chaotic scene outside the inn’s door.

"Guo Yi, get the hell out here!" a woman dressed as a martial traveler shouted.

"Chenhai people, get out of Xuan City!" a scholarly-dressed citizen of Xuan City roared.

"All evil invaders shall die beneath the walls of Xuan City!"

"Get out!"

At the inn’s entrance, two armored warriors holding chainsaw axes remained silent in response. At the beginning of the turmoil, they had tried to explain, stating that this campaign was against the aliens, not a declaration of war against Xuan City. But the angered people of Xuan City simply wouldn’t listen.

In the end, they could only respond with silence.

And as the main Physique player, Li Changhe could go two or three days without sleep without feeling tired at all.

After Xiao Nan and Qiu Wentian had gone to sleep, one after the other, Li Changhe took on the role of the guard.

It was precisely because of this that Li Changhe had witnessed the whole process of the unrest from the window, starting with a group of angry Xuan City citizens arriving at the inn’s entrance and demanding Guo Yi and his people to get out, followed by an increasingly large gathering of people.

One could say this was due to the citizens’ outrage, but it seemed to have happened a little too fast.

The announcement had only been made, and so many people had already found out where Guo Yi and the others were staying, and had assembled to denounce Guo Yi?

Clearly, these people were being used by someone.

And as to who it was, Li Changhe already had an idea. The Great Chen Kingdom, right?

They must be in a panic right now.

They had only been able to counter the original Chenhai Empire using the True Blood provided by Xuan City, from which they developed their berserker warriors. Although there had been military conflicts between the two sides, it was always minor skirmishes.

The original Chenhai Empire would not initiate a move with armored warriors, and so the Great Chen Kingdom would not call upon their berserker warriors.

This had kept both sides in a delicate balance.

Originally, with more than two thousand veteran soldiers from the Expeditionary Army and over a thousand newly minted armored warriors, they were able to suppress Great Chen.

And at this moment, with the arrival of Li Changhe, the Seventh Expeditionary Army had fully revived. The former Chenhai Empire had transformed into the Great Tang Protectorate, and its military strength had soared several times over.

The terrifying force now displayed far exceeded the expectations of the Great Chen Kingdom.

The king of Great Chen must be even more fearful than the people of Xuan City, right? A rival with a long-standing grudge had suddenly turned the tables and revealed a strength far surpassing their own. Who wouldn’t panic at that?

Great Chen’s current plan was probably to drag Xuan City completely into the water.

They were stirring up the conflict between the people of Xuan City and the Protectorate.

If Guo Yi and his people were attacked in Xuan City, even resulting in casualties, the contradictions between the Protectorate and Xuan City would become unavoidable.

Just as Li Changhe was about to tell Guo Yi to avoid taking action, Chen Yu appeared beside him, yawning, and said, "It was expected, Great Chen is very afraid that after the Protectorate cleans up the so-called aliens, they will turn their heads and deal with them."

Perhaps because she had just woken up, her face was somewhat flushed, and her hair was a bit messy. She was wearing a thick pajama, making her seem quite round and cuddly.

"Awake?" Li Changhe pointed at her hair and asked, "I thought I wouldn’t see you until the evening."

After all, Chen Yu had spent the previous night possessed by the spirit of the Xuan City queen and then used her Sequence Abilities to influence the dreams of the people of Xuan City. It had been no small expenditure of energy.

"How could I not wake up with all this noise?" retorted Chen Yu, pressing down her unkempt hair, then looked toward the noisy crowd downstairs and said, "I had anticipated Great Chen’s reaction. However, I estimate Xuan City won’t attack the members of the Great Tang Protectorate at such a critical moment. As long as nothing happens before the people of Xuan City arrive, it will be fine."

As she spoke, Chen Yu’s eyes slightly lit up, and the crowd in front of the inn gradually quieted down a lot. Many from Xuan City suddenly felt that shouting here without the other party responding was meaningless.

The earlier indignation was gradually replaced by rationality. Many people silently dispersed and left.

Before long, the Xuan City patrol team arrived in front of the inn and dispersed the still-shouting civilians.

Just as Chen Yu had said, no matter how the Great Tang Protectorate acted, it had always refrained from declaring war on Xuan City.

Once the people of Xuan City made a move against Guo Yi and the others, it would be the same as giving the Great Tang Protectorate a reason to declare war.

And after that Xuan City patrol team had dispersed the crowd, it stationed itself near the inn, clearly deciding to keep watch over Guo Yi and the others.

Li Changhe, observing the scene, was not surprised and continued to allow Guo Yi and the others to act on their own; it would be problematic if they didn’t.

Soon, Guo Yi knocked on Li Changhe’s door and inquired in a low voice, "General, should we leave Xuan City? The current Xuan City is very unfriendly toward the Great Tang Protectorate. Staying in Xuan City, we are likely to run into more dangerous situations."

Although the Great Tang Protectorate’s official response was the subjugation of aliens, no one knew what these so-called aliens were.

This world had never seen an alien war, at least not one known to the public.

The term aliens, in this world, was probably a secret only known among the high echelons of the Great Tang Protectorate, Xuan City, and the Great Chen Kingdom.

After all, on the side of the Great Tang Protectorate, one could not simply say that a significant part of Xuan City’s population might turn into alien monsters.

If one were to argue, it could potentially happen.

Great Tang: "You gave birth to an alien!"

Xuan City: "You dare to insult the lord of Xuan City! I’ll fight you to the death!"

A situation like that.

This truth had to be discovered by the people of Xuan City themselves.

"No need to worry, quite soon... the people of Xuan City will change their minds," Li Changhe assured, "During this time, just stay honestly inside the inn. Be on guard, as Great Chen may likely try to lead disaster our way by assassinating you."

"Understood!"
