Chapter 113 The Catastrophe Ends
The woman before him lived in the same era as the ancient king, and had been dead for a thousand years.
Her identity after her death was also not simple.
It was none other than the third-ranked of the eight fallen monarchs, the commander of the Ghost Legion, the Nine Netherworld Queen.
"The one who holds the Tiger Tally can mobilize the king's million-strong army. What do you need me to do?" After bowing, Queen Jiuyou respectfully asked the person on the throne.
After asking the question, she couldn't help but recall the words left by the man who had once fascinated her before his death.
"To see the Tiger Tally again is to see me, the King. Whatever that person does or intends to do, you must obey."
Therefore, even when she saw Hua Yu sitting on the throne, Queen Jiuyou only lowered her head and dared not say a word.
"Are you in charge of the undead now?" Hua Yu asked calmly.
Upon hearing this question, Jiuyou shook her head and explained, "Apart from my Ghost Legion, the rest of the army is in the hands of several other deceased rulers."
"Then I need to make them all retreat and prepare for a battle with me. Can this tiger tally accomplish that?"
"Can."
"Then let's go." Hua Yu waved his hand and said lazily.
I must say, this chair is quite comfortable; no wonder so many people want to sit in this spot.
Having not slept all night, he sat here, unable to resist dozing off.
Jiuyou nodded, bowed, and prepared to leave.
Just then, Hua Yu suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh right, have the White Corpse King come to see me."
"This servant obeys."
Of the eight fallen kings, the one with the most free time must be the White Corpse King.
If he were alive, this guy would have been a complete martial arts fanatic, and he wouldn't care about anything else except practicing martial arts.
So even after his death, he had hardly anyone following him; he was a lone ghost.
Although Jiuyou didn't know why Huayu wanted to find him, he still obediently went to look for him.
After she left, Hua Yu slowly closed her eyes.
This should be over now!
-
The time bought by the mysterious liquid brought by the man in white robes has already passed.
The ancient capital, riddled with holes, once again faced the ravages of the dead.
All the high-rise buildings are concentrated in the inner city tower.
Because of Xue Zang's sudden appearance, all the imprisoned high-level mages were released.
Han Ji knew that no matter how good-tempered they were, they would not surrender a second time.
Even if they had no connection whatsoever with the Black Vatican and were completely at peace with themselves, knowing they were destined to die, some of them would certainly not choose the same fate.
If even one person resists, the plan to kill Salam will fail.
This time, the city couldn't be defended, and they didn't even catch the damned mastermind. Han Ji could even sense that Salang was hiding in the crowd, secretly laughing.
They mocked their incompetence.
"President, if we don't agree to that escape plan now, it will be too late," the head of a powerful family said urgently.
The so-called escape plan was to save the lives of the important people in the city, while abandoning the majority of the population.
It's cruel, but it's also very realistic.
In the face of such a catastrophe, even if someone wanted to save ordinary people, they wouldn't have the power to take them out.
"Hmph, even if we escape, we'll only be barely surviving. The city is gone, everyone is dead, what's the point of having a few people left?" Hunter King Du Xiao sneered.
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing any dissenting voices, the heads of the major families immediately united and prepared to argue their case.
Du Xiao completely ignored them and turned to the edge. Then, a pair of wings appeared on his back, with a very distinct notch on them.
"Du Xiao, where are you going?" Military Commander Yao Ting asked.
"Defend the city! As a mage, even if I die in battle, I will not retreat before those unarmed ordinary people inside the city."
After saying this, Du Xiao spread his wings and rushed out of the inner city barrier.
Upon hearing Du Xiao's words, Zhu Meng, Fei Jiao, Yao Ting, and the others, who had long been dissatisfied with the escape plan, also followed.
In an instant, several figures appeared in the sky, seemingly lost and disoriented.
Everyone else was retreating, but they were heading towards the dead.
"Sigh! If you want to retreat, then retreat." Han Ji sighed helplessly, without feeling any resentment towards these cowards.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward, his aged figure standing atop the highest point of the city tower, his gaze fixed on the massive mountain peak in the distance.
He was afraid of dying, but there was nothing he could do; this city had to be defended!
-
Time passed by, second by second.
The resistance from the human side is growing stronger.
Seeing the battle between those high-level mages outside, more and more mages left the protection of the golden barrier and stood in front of the city.
"Ku~~~"
The corpse of the mountain peak raised its head and roared fiercely, its cheeks already touching the clouds.
The corpse energy it exhaled actually formed black corpse clouds in the sky.
Corpse clouds shrouded the sky, and the corpse on the mountain peak seemed to have lost all patience, its pupils staring intently at the inner city protected by the golden barrier.
"Boom~~~"
With a single step, the entire earth trembled, and even the golden barrier protecting the inner city shook slightly.
As the massive mountain gradually approached, all the people in the city, who held their heads high, were filled with worry.
Can this last barrier of humanity really stop that monster?
"Let's go!"
Outside the barrier, a furious roar came from who-knows-who.
Immediately afterwards, several high-level mages climbed the mountain in an orderly fashion.
So insignificant, so utterly insignificant.
Just as everyone was worried that the warriors might be killed by the terrible Grim Reaper in a single breath, a ghost suddenly floated to the center of the battlefield.
A series of mental disturbances were released.
After Jiuyou forced Du Xiao and the others to retreat, she turned around and came to the corpse of the mountain peak, whispering something to it.
Another dead emperor appeared, and the expressions on Du Xiao and the others immediately turned grim.
But to their surprise, after Jiuyou appeared and said something, the corpse of the mountain suddenly turned around and strode away from the city.
"Thump!"
As it departed, the army of rotting corpses began to retreat.
The corpse of the mountain peak left, but Jiuyou did not leave immediately. She smiled slightly at Du Xiao and the others before disappearing into the void.
Immediately afterwards, her figure appeared in several other directions in the ancient capital.
The Ghost Legion under the command of the Mist Demon retreated!
The Skeleton Dragon's skeleton army retreats!
Finally, there was the ghost army led by Jiuyou herself.
One after another, armies of the undead withdrew from this battlefield.
The dark clouds that had gathered in the sky finally began to dissipate.
A ray of sunlight finally seized the opportunity and shone its light upon this land.
Only at this moment did Du Xiao and the others realize that this catastrophe seemed to be over.
