Chapter 1128 623: Only This Little God? Not Enough, Far from Enough! [2/2]
Her father was the famous legendary ascetic in the desert of death. He had repeatedly reminded her that she could directly seek help from him if Solan City encountered problems. Respect filled his words.
She would have found it hard to believe that a Grace Mainland Overlord could have such a shocking transformation in such a short time if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
Richard must have been a god. That could only be the explanation.
Richard chuckled when he saw the caution in the girl's eyes.
"Whether that is true or not, we're still friends, Christy."
Christy felt his gentle attitude. She had relived nervousness again. A smile appeared on her face.
"Yes, we are friends."
She spoke and must have thought of something. Her expression became serious.
"Your Excellency, the undead's attacks are too fierce. The pressure on Solan City has reached its limit. I need help."
The Grand Duke was not around. So, the girl shouldered all the pressure in Solan City. She has not even reached 20!
The lives of millions of people must be under her protection. The pressure was almost suffocating.
It was already beyond Richard's expectations that he had survived until now.
"I'll get the priests of the Desert Sect to work together."
Richard's eyes were deep.
"Also, pass on my order. All nobles and Lords of the Grace Mainland with armies are to send troops to defend the city."
"You can go to the Sun God and the Light Goddess of Light. They will also send troops to assist."
Her tone sounded colder as he spoke.
"We must strictly manage everything during wartime. Christy, you are now the ruler of Solan City, the supreme commander. You have the right to punish anyone who disobeys orders."
"Even if the other party is a god!"
"I'll deal with the people you can't handle... You just need to give the order. I'll back you up."
Christy heard the calm but domineering words. Her heart skipped a beat. Encouragement brimmed the young man's eyes.
A ray of sunlight has illuminated the haze in his heart. Energy filled his existence.
His uneasiness dissipated, and his gaze became determined.
She murmured as if she had responded to Richard and told herself.
"I'm Christy Frotwolf, the sole heir of Solan City. My father isn't around. I am responsible to my people and its city."
"For the honor of the Solan City."
"No one can break into our city! No one!"
Her soft but firm words allowed Richard to see the silent transformation in the girl's heart.
Christy bowed deeply and turned to leave before he could say anything.
His footsteps changed from being at a loss to being powerful.
Relief filled Richard's eyes. Before Christy came, she had already thought of something. It was like he gave her a shot in the arm.
The space beside her rippled not long after Richard left. Dark Valkyrie appeared.
The boss floated ten centimeters on the ground and held a three-meter-long sword. It had a strange look in his eyes under the mask.
"Lord, an extremely terrifying power hides in the other party's body..."
"Even legends couldn't resist it once one has unleashed that power."
Richard nodded.
"How could that legendary ascetic allow the young princess to stay behind without arrangements?"
Dark Valkyrie bowed slightly and said nothing more.
Richard said slowly after a moment of silence.
"Return to Twilight City with Loreinna to guard…"
The Dark Valkyrie suddenly raised her head, and her gaze became solemn.
"Then you?"
Richard waved his hand and interrupted her before he could finish.
"Solan City, I alone am enough."
Richard's tone turned solemn as he saw that the boss followed him and wanted to say something.
"There's a Hero Altar in Twilight City. It's our foundation.
"No one can guarantee what will happen in the future… Death may come at any time. We need a way out.
"No matter what happens, we can't afford to lose Twilight City!"
Dark Valkyrie could feel Richard's inviolable will and fell silent.
Finally, she took a deep breath and bowed before she disappeared.
Dark Valkyrie disappeared. Richard slowly turned his head and looked toward Solan City.
His gaze was faint.
Now, he no longer had any shackles in Solan City. It was time to get down to business.
Asmodeus was the ruler of the Ninth Hell. He is the ultimate boss of the bottomless abyss, the Demon Prince Demogorgon, Spider Goddess Lolita. He is an unknown Undead Lord.
He rules the Orc God System, Elf God System, Dwarf God System, and Sea Race God System.
The Sun God, the Goddess of Light, the Justice God, and the War God.
"I didn't expect gods who infiltrated Solan City would exceed three digits."
"It's really... Interesting."
As the ruler of the desert sect, he was now the prey of all the gods.
However, who would know who was the prey until the last moment?
Richard's eyes deepened.
"But just them alone is not enough, far from enough…"
******
Asmodeus looked at the rebuilt desert church. His murky, emotionless eyes were like a decaying man about to be buried.
"Hasn't the city of the Grace Mainland Lords been conquered yet?"
The faint blasphemy made the atmosphere in the room tense.
Only six of the nine Devil Overlords remained. The one in the middle stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice.
"The rules of the Mortal Plane restrict us from mobilizing troops above transcendent on a large scale. The current offensive mainly focused on high-level demons between level 15 and 19..."
Asmodeus slowly turned his head, his murky eyes staring at the Devil Lord. He had transformed into a human.
He said softly, "Are you looking for an excuse?"
He finished speaking, and the Devil Lord's heart trembled violently. He knelt on the ground with a thud, his head pressed against the ground, and his posture was extremely humble.
"Lord…"
Endless fear filled his trembling voice.
Asmodeus' tone remained unchanged.
"Tell Bardi to take down that city within three days."
He spoke, and an incomprehensible aura emanated from his body. It was as if he had wiped the other party off a piece of paper with an eraser, and his figure became blurry.
The remaining Devil Lords knelt on the ground in unison. They did not dare to raise their heads.
"I've already sensed the aura of the New Era... The opening of that door is right in front of us."
"The city of the Grace Mainland will be one of the key points. Remember, you must occupy it no matter the cost."
"I don't want to hear a second time of nonsense."
