Chapter 1054: Chapter 705: The Aliens Must Die, The Entire Army Sets Off

In that dark and eerie space, the Priestess of Autumn, her limbs bound to the massive guillotine, struggled to lift her head.

She then saw the gigantic black Harrowing Knife, like a great bridge spanning across the Sky Curtain, falling down.

Seized by terror, the Priestess of Autumn couldn’t utter a word. How could she not understand why she was on this guillotine, in this bizarre space?

Wasn’t she in the inn, using her abilities, preparing to capture that short-haired, adorable girl?

She was about to successfully have the girl in her arms, to possess her, so why did she suddenly appear here?

"No!!!!" With a terrified scream, the Priestess of Autumn was cleaved in two by the Harrowing Knife.

The pain that penetrated her soul jolted her awake, as if she had just experienced a real nightmare. She could feel her body mercilessly being sliced in half by the sharp blade.

"Is this... a nightmare?"

However, when she painfully opened her eyes, the scene she beheld was the same one she’d just witnessed. She was still trapped on the massive guillotine, and the huge Harrowing Knife once again fell from the sky.

"Wait..." The Priestess of Autumn screamed,

but once more, she was brutally cut into two!

Meanwhile, in the inn, with a flicker of spatial fluctuation in his hand, Chen Yu took out a teacup, then a thermos, leisurely making himself a cup of coffee.

Blowing on the cup in his hand, he looked down at the Priestess of Autumn collapsed at his feet.

The Priestess of Autumn on the ground was clearly in a deep sleep, her pretty face twisted in agony. Blood spilled from her mouth and nose.

"Hmph, trying to compete with me in mental interference..." Chen Yu looked down at the Priestess of Autumn and said darkly, "Then you really picked the wrong opponent."

She was an individual of high energy, and thanks to the gift from the Crying Hero, her Spirit World exceeded that of players at the same level. Mental disturbance was her domain of expertise.

Furthermore... the Priestess of Autumn’s abilities weren’t very effective on her because the dissonance was too strong. That powerful suggestive power was basically ineffective on her.

In Chen Yu’s view, the Priestess of Autumn was just pretending to be someone else’s face, uttering some sort of love talk to her. She did look very similar...

But she also knew that person would never do such things to her.

This strong sense of dissonance made Chen Yu lose the interest in playing along. She decisively dragged the utterly unguarded Priestess of Autumn into a dream.

In that dream, she would be killed over and over, the agonizing executions breaking her spirit completely.

"Since they have already dispatched a priestess... it seems Xuan City has clearly discovered our plan. Too bad, by doing nothing last night, you lost your last chance to turn the tables," Chen Yu thought to himself, glancing down at the Priestess of Autumn.

Last night was the most dangerous moment in the plan, but it’s no surprise Xuan City was slow to react. They couldn’t have imagined Chen Yu could influence other people’s dreams, let alone the secrets of the Great Chen Kingdom, which had been discovered by the players.

The disparity in abilities and information prevented them from making the right judgment.

"What’s left is up to you. I hope the queen doesn’t make an unwise choice." After taking a sip of coffee, Chen Yu looked out the window to see the sky suddenly stained black, thick Black Clouds appearing out of nowhere above the Inner City.

It was as if a pot of ink had been spilled onto the dome of the heavens; the previously bright sky was now covered in a blanket of dark clouds in an instant.

At this astonishing sight, Chen Yu was taken aback and his expression subtly changed: "Could it be... the Queen of Xuan City did something? Did she provoke Xiao Nan that much, causing her to reveal this State?"

Chen Yu knew the origin of this extraordinary phenomenon.

It was Xiao Nan’s Sequence. It was the Divine Deer, Fuzhu, from the Classic of Mountains and Seas!

Its ability is to call for rain or floods. This was clearly Xiao Nan’s doing, but...

In the plan, now was not the time to fallout with the queen.

"Damn it... surely the Queen of Xuan City didn’t do something to Li in front of her, right?" Chen Yu speculated wildly and quickly inquired about the situation in [Friends].

But then he saw a message from Li Changhe: "Chen Yu, tell Guo Yi to activate the Command Transmission Device! After it’s ready, let me know!"

"Are you saying the grand army is pressing towards us? What exactly happened? Have you fallen out with the queen already? And how will the insect god be dealt with?"

Chen Yu did not doubt the combat abilities of Li Changhe and Xiao Nan, one being the Crownless King and the other a Holder who inherited Divinity.

Together, they could easily defeat the queen who was not yet a demigod.

But if the queen were to be seriously injured, the insect god she claimed to have under control might very well break free.

And that would not be an easy adversary to handle.

However, Li Changhe didn’t respond, likely already engaged in battle.

Chen Yu thought quickly, "Could it be that the insect god has already escaped? That shouldn’t be possible; the golden statue hasn’t been destroyed. Our task isn’t finished yet... how did she do it?"

Just as her thoughts settled, she heard screams and the sounds of battle coming from outside.

Chen Yu’s heart tightened, and she immediately ran out of the room.

She found that outside the inn was chaos, with many people clutching their families and flooding into the inn.

The soldiers from Great Tang inside the inn did not stop them but instead, along with an outer city patrol team that came in, stood guard at the entrance to the inn.

The patrol team members were all more or less injured, and judging from their wounds... they were definitely not caused by humans!

Just then, Qiu Wentian happened to return from outside the window. Cradling a pale-faced mother and daughter in one arm and holding a sword dripping with blood in the other hand, it was clear she had rescued the pair only after a fierce battle.

"Something’s not right about this situation!" Qiu Wentian laid the mother and daughter on the ground and turning to Chen Yu, she shouted, "Didn’t they follow the plan?"

"No, clearly, the insect god wouldn’t just sit and wait for death!" Chen Yu’s expression was grim as she spoke to Guo Yi on the first floor, "Activate the Command Transmission Device! Wait for your general’s orders!"

"But he isn’t here, is he?"

"That’s not necessary; the causal link is enough for the command to reach from this distance! Go quickly!"

"Understood!" Guo Yi responded loudly.

Strangely, upon hearing these words, the members of the Xuan City patrol team showed no signs of anger.

The only thing on their faces was the despair of shattered faith...

Meanwhile, fifty miles away from Xuan City in a military encampment, five fully-equipped armor battalions had arrived.

Among them were old comrades-in-arms who hadn’t seen each other in years, and some were former foes who had met in battle more than once.

Now, they were stationed together in this forest, existing in a delicate atmosphere.

Former betrayers and loyalists exchanged silent glances, each unspoken.

This brought a hush over the woodland.

However, the issuance of a single command shattered all silence.

"Xuan City is done for, the insect god has revived. But this place will become the tomb of the insect god! Warriors, come to my side, to fight against the enemy of humanity, to fight against the aliens!" a familiar yet unfamiliar command echoed throughout the entire communication network, "Join me in the battle against the insect god!"

In an instant, countless armored warriors stood up.

One after another, responses rang out.

"Right Brave Guard Fourth Battalion informed! The entire army will march!"

"Left Martial Guard Second Battalion acknowledges the order!"

"Right Leading Guard Fifth Battalion acknowledges the order!"

"The aliens must die, the entire army will march!"
