Chapter 1059: Chapter 710 Reinforcements

The words of the Spring Sacrifice seemed quite reasonable.

After all, even now, the insect god was still suppressed and influenced by the strength of Xuan City’s ruler.

If the Queen of Xuan City were to have an accident or be killed, then there would no longer be any restraint on the insect god, and everyone would face a Demigod, or even a stronger entity.

However, to use this pretext to make Li Changhe and Xiao Nan give up on confronting the Queen of Xuan City was completely impossible.

"What now?" Chen Yu narrowed his eyes, his powerful spiritual strength surged, "You want our Li and Xiao Nan to just surrender before your Queen? Don’t you think that’s a bit too fanciful?"

"Li..." The Spring Sacrifice frowned, not minding Chen Yu’s reference, but stepped back and said in a deep voice, "Don’t tell me that even now, you still think you can deal with both the insect god and the Queen at the same time? Indeed, I’m unclear about your backgrounds, and your spiritual power is above mine, I can’t see your past fragments. But I am certain... even you cannot achieve any purpose in this situation where monsters roam rampant! Now, only by cooperating can we get through the immediate crisis! Otherwise, with only these Defense Forces, it won’t take much time before we all become food for the insect god!"

"Get those two to stop their attack and join forces with us to fight the insect god! That is the only way out!" The Royal Guard behind the Spring Sacrifice gripped their blades, "This is not only about saving Xuan City, but also about saving yourselves!"

"Heh... No need to worry about that." Qiu Wentian, who had noticed this, stepped forward a few paces, subtly positioning herself in front of Chen Yu, and said, "Don’t think too much, and don’t do too much. Just go and protect your own people properly!"

Clearly, those Royal Guards were very wary of Qiu Wentian. Seeing her approaching, they all raised their weapons and shielded both the Spring Sacrifice and the unconscious Priestess of Autumn behind them.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

After the insect god’s revival, the Spring Sacrifice had hoped to use Chen Yu and the others to coerce the Inner city’s Li Changhe and Xiao Nan into stopping.

Unfortunately, she had underestimated Chen Yu’s spiritual strength and had even been influenced by Priestess of Autumn.

With the explosively powerful Qiu Wentian present on the scene, the Royal Guard dared not use any force.

The strength of the Spring Sacrifice herself was not formidable, so perhaps she was still unclear about what made Qiu Wentian so strong.

But the Royal Guard were extremely cautious, indicating that with Qiu Wentian’s previously demonstrated swordsmanship and agility, perhaps no one among them could withstand her.

Unless inside the Inner city, within the Divine Country of the Queen.

With the blessing, they might have the strength to fight, relying on enhancements and numerical advantage.

But outside the city, it would be better not to engage with Qiu Wentian.

Not to mention the short-haired girl by her side, who had simply overcome the Priestess of Autumn with her spiritual power. If she became an enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Do you really just watch as Xuan City is completely devoured by the insect god?" the Spring Sacrifice said.

"This again?" sneered Chen Yu, "Now you remember to care about your own people? When you threw the Mutants into the Bottom Nest, why didn’t you think about caring for them? You directly destroyed one human after another. They could only wander forever in that underground city without daylight, eating each other until they lost their humanity, completely degenerating into aliens! The suffering that Xuan City is undergoing today is all because of your own doing!"

Silent, the Spring Sacrifice then responded, "This is all a necessary sacrifice made so that humanity can enter a more perfect world. You do not understand the Queen’s ideals. Nor do you know the greatness of this plan."

"Ideals? Sacrifice the majority to perfect a few. Is this your so-called ideal? For the sake of a vague ideal, you have indirectly killed so many people! How vicious indeed. Your Xuan City has beauties abound, but it’s a ghost city built upon the bones of countless sacrifices!" said Chen Yu faintly, "Now I really see why they are so angrily attacking your Queen."

From her understanding of Li Changhe and Xiao Nan, they probably had discovered an even more malicious plan. That’s why they went straight for the Queen.

"It’s only because the situation in the Outer city is dire that I can’t be bothered to deal with you," Chen Yu’s eyes glimmered slightly, the change brought about by the roar of spiritual power, "Otherwise, I feel like making you experience all the pain that those Mutants have gone through would be apropos!"

In her Dream, she had acquired all the painful experiences that the three-armed girl had endured in the Bottom Nest over the years. Her rationality was being erased bit by bit, her body mutated little by little. It was torture enough to destroy one’s soul!

"However, I indeed cannot just watch the people of Xuan City be entirely devoured," Chen Yu withdrew her gaze and said, "Use whatever strength you have to gather the people as much as you can. Focus on protecting them."

"But we do not have enough personnel to protect so many people at the same time," a Royal Guard spoke up.

"Of course, you don’t. Your comrades are probably still besieging my companions in the Inner city~ Compared to protecting the people, you seem rather keen on eradicating dissent," Chen Yu said with sarcasm, "Did your Queen say, ’One against two, the advantage is ours’?"

The Royal Guards did not understand the reference and did not respond.

Even with the insect god’s revival, the Inner city hadn’t sent much to rescue the people. Presumably, they were still resisting Li Changhe and Xiao Nan.

"No problem, we have a suitable defensive position. But just holding it won’t do any good. They can create more of their own kind, while we lose one for every one that dies. At this rate, our extinction is just a matter of time," the Spring Sacrifice responded to Chen Yu’s mockery without care.

No matter what happened in the inner city, her duty now was to protect the outer city.

To avoid interference with the queen’s power and prevent the insect god from fully breaking free.

Seeing that Chen Yu also had the intention to cooperate, she quickly pointed out the flaws in the plan.

Although the appearance of the aliens had make many people in Xuan City doubt their leader, the city’s call to arms was still strong.

"You’re right, so your ultimate goal is to buy time," Chen Yu replied.

"Buying time until the inner city’s battle is decided?" the Spring Sacrifice asked dimly.

"No, it’s to wait for reinforcements."

"Reinforcements? You still have reinforcements? No... do you mean..." the Spring Sacrifice’s face changed slightly.

...

At the same time, elsewhere, on a road more than ten miles away from Xuan City.

A middle-aged man covered in blood was hiding in a bush with his wife and child.

They held their breath, fearing that they would attract the attention of the monster devouring flesh and blood among the convoy.

It was a four-meter-tall alien that had chased fleeing people from Xuan City to this place, encountering a convey that had barely escaped the city.

It opened its sharp mandibles, crushed a corpse, and swallowed it before spitting out a gulp of blood.

The blood gathered on the ground to form a puddle, from which pitch-black skeletons began to emerge.

Brand new aliens were taking shape.

Witnessing this horrific scene, the middle-aged man was greatly shocked, especially when he saw an alien approaching the bush where his wife and child were hiding. His heart dropped.

"They’re going to be found!"

Clamping down on a sliver of courage, he gritted his teeth, jumped out of the bushes with his big knife raised, and cleaved at the knee of one of the aliens.

At the same time, he shouted, "Run! Run fast! Don’t look back!"

He wanted to draw the monster’s attention, to create a chance for his wife and child to escape.

However, he bravely lunged at the alien, but the expected death did not come.

The creature kicked him away with one foot, breaking who knows how many bones, but he was still alive.

Incredibly, the beasts also gave up on him, uttering terrible roars in a certain direction.

What was it that made the creatures abandon their easy prey?

In the mountain winds, faintly came the sound of iron hooves, like thunder...

That was...

"Finally arrived, have you? We really are old adversaries." In the depths of the Bottom Nest, the insect god’s laugh, full of rage, echoed.

"The Great Tang Expeditionary Army!"
