Chapter 1070: Chapter 721: Joining Forces

As Xiao Nan froze the surface of Xuan Lake, the momentum of the Expeditionary Army greatly increased.

Lots of soldiers rushed onto the lake, turning into a torrent of steel. They launched a lethal assault on the aliens inside Xuan City.

Unlike the residents of Xuan City and the invited guests, who were terrified by the aliens, the Great Tang Expeditionary Army had been established from the outset to fight against different Races.

And this Seventh Expeditionary Group, in particular, was an old adversary of the insect aliens.

Facing swarms of aliens, other riders fled in panic on their horses.

But the cavalry of the Seventh Expeditionary Army charged back against even greater numbers of aliens on the streets of Xuan City’s outer city!

The thunderous sound of iron hooves was like a battle song of humanity’s last stand against the aliens!

And in the alleys and houses, godlike armored warriors wielding their Chainsaw Axes and Armor-breaking Crossbow Shots were engaging in bloody street combat with terrifying aliens.

The organized armored fighting forces demonstrated the destructive power they were meant to have, often eliminating more enemies with minimal losses.

Especially those queen-grade armored fighters descending from the sky, they were like Kings of the battlefield, slicing swarms of aliens into pieces wherever they went.

The despair humans felt when facing the aliens was being torn apart bit by bit by the Expeditionary Army.

The arrival of the Great Tang Expeditionary Army was undoubtedly a disaster for the insect god and the Queen of Xuan City.

In normal times, the Queen of Xuan City could mass-produce aliens to fight against the Expeditionary Army, but now her command abilities had been taken back by the insect god. The aliens she produced would not obey her orders but only contribute to the insect god’s strength.

Vice versa, the insect god had the ability to command all alien monsters, but now she too had lost the ability to mass-produce aliens. She could only rely on the aliens’ own hunting to increase their numbers, which significantly slowed down the process.

In such a situation, the appearance of the Great Tang Expeditionary Army made both the insect god and the Queen of Xuan City feel threatened.

Especially the Queen of Xuan City, who sharply sensed that the number of her offspring was decreasing.

Her strength originated from the Lord of Xuan City, and the Lord’s strength came from the belief in his offspring.

For a hundred years, countless beliefs had converged into the Lord of Xuan City. After mutually devouring and merging with the insect god, the number of the Lord’s offspring greatly increased, as did his Divine power.

It was because the aliens with human genes also became her offspring.

But now, her offspring were leaving her for some reason.

It was somewhat understandable for the alien offspring; the arrival of the Great Tang Expeditionary Army greatly restricted the number of aliens.

But why were the human offspring doing this? Surely, with the arrival of the Expeditionary Army, their numbers should have been preserved. They were human and should not be targets of the Expeditionary Army’s attacks.

Yet, she could clearly feel more and more of her offspring leaving her, even though they were still alive...

"Don’t you understand yet? His Divinity is highly corrosive. Right now, he is eroding your Divine Country, taking away your faith, taking away your offspring! Once he gets close to your gold statue, your offspring will completely belong to him!" The next second, the insect god’s scream echoed in the Queen of Xuan City’s mind: "Give the strength back to me! Only I can stop them!"

The insect god’s terror stemmed from Li Changhe’s hostility towards her.

The Queen of Xuan City needed her strength to realize her dream, so she would never kill the insect god at any cost.

Even if the insect god had caused the deaths of so many Xuan City residents this time. After everything was over, even if her plan failed and she was once again suppressed in the Bottom Nest by the queen.

She would not die, but rather be further restricted. Because the Queen of Xuan City needed her. She needed her True Blood, her knowledge, and Authority.

Li Changhe, however, no longer thought that way. He would certainly kill the insect god.

He had harbored ill will toward the insect god from the beginning. Once he succeeded in taking away this source of faith in Xuan City, he would become a new oppressor of the insect god. Then he would certainly kill her.

Especially when those beliefs born of desperation coalesced behind him, no matter what his aims, he would ultimately kill himself!

Compared to death, becoming a tool in the hands of the Xuan City Queen was not so unacceptable.

"You know, I will not let you go..." the Queen responded.

"Then stop him, think about your ideals, look at your Divine Country!" the insect god’s voice was full of resentment.

And the Xuan City Queen, looking at the figure in the distance getting closer to the palace where the divine statue stood, faintly saw citizens of Xuan City following behind him, cheering for him and wishing him victorious in every battle. Among them, there were even her own Royal Guards... those who were supposed to be the most devout warriors. Those who were supposed to be her people... had now betrayed her.

Her actions were meant to benefit her people, yet now she had lost their hearts... Could they not understand her?

This betrayal rendered the Queen momentarily silent, before she replied to the insect god, "I will release your army, and with the strength we have, join forces to stop him."

"Not enough! Facing such an enemy, we both need to pay a greater price!" the insect god’s roars echoed within the Queen’s mind: "Stop being wary, accept my power. Kill him in your strongest state, for as long as he lives, there is still a chance for redemption! Otherwise, we both die, and your aspirations will utterly fail!"

The Queen didn’t respond to the insect god, but slashed her own wrist, and red blood slid down her pale skin.

The drops of blood precisely fell into a certain building at the Queen’s feet, and seconds later, the building burst open from within.

A ten-meter-tall giant alien broke through the walls of the building. The nearby Royal Guards, terror-stricken, wanted to concentrate their fire on the giant alien but received an order from their Queen: "Cease fire, it’s an ally. Stop all attacks targeted at the aliens, let the Mutants and aliens come out. We will jointly resist this enemy."

"Allying with these creatures?" One of the Royal Guards looked up in horror at the figure contending with the tsunami in midair.

She couldn’t believe that the Queen had issued this order. How many Xuan City citizens had been killed by these aliens, how many compatriots? And now they were to ally with them?

"Follow the command. This is all for the sake of a better future for humanity," the Queen’s order was issued once more.

So when Li Changhe approached the palace, he encountered unprecedented resistance.

Numerous Royal Guards poured out from the buildings, their golden armor melding into a gold fortress.

At the same time, in the sky, swarms of aliens densely assaulted from above. Flapping their fleshy wings, they dove towards Li Changhe.

Giant aliens climbed onto the palace, emitting terrifying roars at Li Changhe.

Just moments before, the Xuan City Royal Guards and the alien army were slaughtering each other.

Now, unbelievably, they had joined forces against Li Changhe.

"So it is, to stop him, you would even collaborate with the insect god. Have you forgotten about your people who died at the mouths of the aliens?" Xiao Nan’s face was cold in the sky, and his voice was even colder, as if it could freeze the soul.

"They will understand me," the Queen said with extreme calm.

"Unfortunately, you still can’t stop him."

...

Meanwhile, on the ground, Li Changhe looked at the enemy covering the sky, yet he did not stop.

Instead, space fluctuated behind him, and bronze war spears appeared, like warriors arrayed for battle.

The next second, the bronze war spears shot up to the sky, piercing the diving aliens.

And then they fell.

A bloody hell ensued.
