"Huyaya …"
A swarm of bat demons descended from the sky. They were so dense that they blotted out the sun. Their terrifying claws and ferocious eyes caused the hearts of the soldiers and citizens of Canglan City, who had already been attacked many times, to jump!
"This is bad!"
Princess Cang Die couldn't care less about the internal strife between the two sides. The enemy was right in front of them. If they didn't act quickly, the city would be destroyed. Canglan City was basically an isolated city now. The surrounding villages and small cities had all been destroyed. Chu Rui's group was immediately treated as spies when they arrived. That was because no team had come after Canglan City was attacked. Speaking of which, Chu Rui's group was lucky. They took a shortcut and avoided the demons' sight. Otherwise, they would've been surrounded and annihilated a long time ago.
Although Canglan City was the capital of the Canglan Empire, its resources were top-notch. But how long could he last if he just sat there and ate? Everyone in Canglan City was in a state of panic. If it weren't for the fact that the demons were bloodthirsty and had no concept of captivity, chaos would've already ensued. Many people would've left the city to surrender.
The Canglan Emperor and his ministers discussed countless times, but they couldn't come up with a feasible solution. The demons' strength far exceeded theirs. If it weren't for the fear of too many casualties, Canglan City wouldn't have been able to hold on until now. Those demon bastards were very sinister. They wanted to turn this place into a dead city. They wanted to make them live in fear, unable to rest in peace all day long. When the time came, they would either be tortured to insanity or starve to the point that they wouldn't even have the strength to fight.
How many attacks had it been?
Everyone remembered it clearly because every time they attacked, they had to pay a huge price. Those who were still alive now would most likely die in a while, or those who had called him brothers would become cold corpses!
The appearance of these unbearably ugly fellows brought death and disaster!
"Why are you still fighting among yourselves when the enemy is right in front of us? If you're a man, prove yourself on the battlefield and protect your country! "
Princess Cang Die stomped her feet in anxiety. Her father was very busy and didn't have time to do these trivial things. Although she was very strong in combat, she was not very good at comforting her people. At most, he could only say some superficial words and smile brightly. With his reputation and status, he could bring hope to these people who were gradually stepping into the abyss of despair. However, this was not her profession. Even though the results were good, it did not achieve the greatest effect.
"…"
No one spoke, but both sides put down all their prejudices and reached a consensus at this moment. Even if two countries had deep hatred for each other, when the enemy was the same, they would still work together. Right now, it was a matter of life and death. They were originally from the same country, so naturally, they would not have internal strife. This was not only about the survival of a country, but also about the survival of mankind. No matter how deep the hatred was, could it be more important than the survival of a species?
"Quick, bring me to the royal treasury!"
Chu Rui narrowed his eyes and looked at the bat demon soldiers frantically attacking the barrier. He unceremoniously roared at the little girl, Princess Cang Die.
"Wh … What?"
Princess Cang Die was stunned. She didn't hear what Chu Rui was saying. She only stared blankly at this man who dared to roar at her.
"If you want to save your country and its people, then don't ask so much. Bring me to the royal treasury. I need treasures! "
Chu Rui wanted to strangle this woman to death. What kind of situation was this, and she was still daydreaming?
"… You, who are you? I, why should this princess believe you?! "
Princess Cang Die was not so easily fooled. She raised her neck like a proud swan.
Chu Rui froze. He really wanted to ruthlessly spank this girl's perky butt a few times! However, this was only a thought. In the end, he gave up on this crazy action that might provoke the extreme hatred of the entire Cang Lan City!
Sigh, why is it so hard for me to be a good person?
Chu Rui couldn't help but sigh!
However, thinking about it, if a stranger suddenly asked you to bring him to your family's treasury, the place where your family's property was, as long as you were a normal person, you wouldn't agree.
Damn it, I'm going to make you kneel and cry while begging me to accept it!
Chu Rui fiercely glared at Princess Cang Die as he thought to himself. However, looking at this girl's sorrowful expression, he helplessly sighed.
"Is this how you guys defend against the Demon Soldiers?"
After waiting for a long time, Chu Rui didn't see anything other than the Bat Demon Soldiers that were arrogantly attacking the city's barrier. He was immediately dumbfounded. Where was the mighty army, the sky full of arrows, and the colorful magic bullets? Damn it, he didn't see a single one. What was the meaning of this?
"…"
Princess Cang Die rolled her eyes at Chu Rui and didn't speak to him. However, her eyes were filled with prayer as she worriedly looked at the Bat Demon Soldiers that were violently attacking the city's barrier. Her expression was very nervous.
"This …"
Chu Rui almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Wasn't the Canglan Empire's method of defending against the enemy too strange? The enemy had already come knocking on their door, but they were really holed up in the city and did nothing, relying on the city's barrier to support them? Only defending and not thinking of attacking? This strategy was very good and very powerful, but which bastard thought of it? This was simply asking the Canglan Empire to perish! No matter how good the defense was, could it last for a lifetime? Furthermore, looking at how aggressive the Demon Soldiers were, the city's barrier probably wouldn't be able to last for long. Since that was the case, these guys still hadn't made any attacks. Could it be that the city's barrier was broken and these bastards were allowed to enter the city and kill as they pleased?
This was simply a god-tier method of defending against the enemy! God-tier was cheating!
"Oh no!"
Just as Rui was angrily cursing the idiot who came up with such an unreliable strategy, suddenly, Princess Cang Die beside him let out a loud shout, and with a twist of her waist, she quickly ran towards the inner city.
"Goudan 'er, you stay here. Big Brother, go and take a look. Remember, follow the army and protect your life. Don't try to be brave! "
Seeing Princess Cang Die and her female guard running away quickly, Chu Rui's face turned cold. He raised his head and swept a glance at the dense bat army as a vicious glint flashed in his eyes. This was his chance. If he wanted to obtain the huge resources in the Canglan Empire's treasury, he had to show the corresponding strength and sincerity! That's right, strength alone wasn't enough. Who knew what he was thinking and whether he was an enemy spy? After all, he was an unregistered citizen and didn't have any proof of identity in the Canglan Empire or even the Cloud Mist Continent. The fastest way to gain their trust was to defeat the Demon Soldiers and rescue Canglan City.
After settling Goudan 'er down, Chu Rui immediately chased after Princess Cang Die!
