Chapter 1140: Chapter 1110: The Siege of Celestial River City
On a beach outside Sapporo City, Babylon, the City Lord of Cyan Dragon City, stood with his hands behind his back, facing the sea breeze, seemingly deep in thought, saying nothing.
He was just standing there like that.
But to others, Babylon exuded an aura of authority without anger, full of the majesty of someone who has long held a position of power.
And behind Babylon stood Shuai Diao Zha and Mingmen Yue’Er, motionless.
Before Babylon spoke, the two of them stood there like silent cicadas, not daring to ask why Babylon had summoned them here.
In fact, a day earlier, Shuai Diao Zha had learned from Babylon about Isabelle’s whereabouts.
Just when Shuai Diao Zha thought that Babylon would cooperate with them to rescue Isabelle together, Babylon unexpectedly showed no intention of taking action personally.
However, Babylon later explained the reason.
Isabelle was captured by Yamada Miki, and as the City Lord of Cyan Dragon City, his status is equivalent to that of a Demon King, or even higher.
Therefore, he was bound by the law and could not take action against Yamada Miki.
To rescue Isabelle, it was up to the players themselves.
For this reason, Shuai Diao Zha initially found Shengshi Drunkard, hoping to enlist their help in rescuing Isabelle.
While also searching for Tian Ci and others who had been missing for two days.
Otherwise, with their current strength, rescuing Isabelle from the guards in Sapporo City would be a fool’s dream.
Exactly!
Shuai Diao Zha and the others planned to rescue Isabelle within the heavily guarded Sapporo City.
Because from the start, Babylon had already cut off all possibilities for them.
On the surface, the natives of Sapporo City seemed harmonious with Babylon’s arrival.
But as Babylon said.
Beneath this harmony lay dissatisfaction and disdain towards him and another City Lord.
After all, anyone suddenly doubted as a ’traitor’ would already be showing great restraint if they could still smile forcibly.
As for Babylon’s investigation results, Shuai Diao Zha and the others were unaware.
But one thing was clear, Babylon directly instructed them to prepare for a fierce attack on a location in the North City of Sapporo City, regardless of casualties.
This was somewhat thought-provoking.
One must know that this included all the natives at that location!
Nobody knew why Babylon made such a decision.
But these were obviously not concerns for Shuai Diao Zha and the others; what mattered to them was that Isabelle was at that location.
With Babylon overseeing, no native above the demigod level within Sapporo City would be allowed to attack the players.
However, the remaining City Guard and players were left for Shuai Diao Zha and the others to deal with.
This matter somehow reached Emperor Pu’s ears as well.
Not long after, Emperor Pu volunteered to help.
In fact, it was obvious to those with keen eyes that the reason Emperor Pu was willing to lend a hand was because of Zhang Xinying’s special relationship with Lin Yi.
Given Isabelle’s uniqueness, everyone knew how important she was to Zhang Xinying.
Thus, by helping Zhang Xinying rescue Isabelle, Emperor Pu was indirectly helping Lin Yi, thereby securing a favor.
For players of their level.
Securing a favor from Feng Hua was worth it, regardless of the task.
As for the impact of their actions today on the He Clan...
Do you think Shuai Diao Zha and the others would care?
As for Emperor Pu, even less so.
Moreover, they chose today precisely to strike while the He Clan was stretched thin attacking the Celestial River City.
Additionally, Emperor Pu learned that the real target of the Demon Race was actually Sapporo City, the largest central city in the He Clan War Zone.
If nothing unexpected happens, today Sapporo City is bound to face a potential turning point that might alter its fate.
...
...
He Clan War Zone, outside the Celestial River City
Millions of players had completely surrounded the city that backed onto the sea.
Looking up, outside the Celestial River City, it was filled with dense, impassioned players.
In contrast, the Celestial River City appeared exceptionally quiet at this moment.
Not a shadow of a demon race could be seen outside the city, and even inside the city, it was a scene of desolation.
The once bustling Celestial River City had turned into an uninhabited ’Ghost Realm’ in people’s eyes.
The dilapidated city gates were half hanging, creaking in the wind.
The towering city walls were incomplete and filthy.
Many players from the He Clan War Zone couldn’t believe their eyes seeing this scene.
No one would have thought that upon returning here, the once thriving main city had become like this.
This only strengthened their resolve to reclaim the Celestial River City.
However, seeing the desolate image of the Celestial River City, someone couldn’t help but boast:
"Could it be that the Demon Race knew we were going to reclaim the city today, so they all hid away?"
Immediately, the surroundings burst into laughter.
For the He Clan players present, in this first ’united’ operation across multiple zones, capturing the Celestial River City seemed like a sure thing.
No one thought there would be any other outcome today.
Meanwhile, in the Hua Country War Zone, Luoshen Liunian frowned and said:
"Something’s not right."
Beside him, the carefree Mingmen Kun Shao said:
"What’s not right about it?"
"Either those demons are hiding to ambush us once we enter the city, capturing us like turtles in a jar."
"Or maybe... damn!"
Mingmen Kun Shao suddenly thought of something, a trace of shock flashing across his face:
"Those demons wouldn’t have run to..."
Although he didn’t finish his sentence, everyone present knew what Mingmen Kun Shao meant.
However, the next moment, someone in the crowd suddenly said:
"Look, the demons are coming out."
Everyone looked towards the outside of Celestial River City, and indeed, one by one, fierce demons were appearing on the city walls.
At the city gates, too, large numbers of demons were continuously pouring out.
This scene further fueled the players, all of them gearing up for an attack on the magic.
For the capture of this city, as long as He Clan players break into the city and occupy the central teleportation array for 30 minutes without being overrun by the Demon Race, they would successfully capture the city.
By then, the Demon Race would disappear from within the Celestial River City, restoring it to a battlefield.
Then He Clan players only needed to defend the Celestial River City battlefield like other main cities.
However, facing the group of demons, Shengshi Drunkard’s side, Shengshi Wei Xiao suddenly said:
"Drunkard leader, did you notice something?"
Shengshi Drunkard was puzzled:
"Huh?"
Shengshi Wei Xiao said:
"All of these are low-level demons... then, where are the high-level demons?"
