Chapter 1369: Unknown enemy

“Sir let me slice this grandson!?” Han Yuan grabbed God Marquis’s head. His palm was too big and he was actually able to grab that weak neck.

“Wait!”

I raised my hand, “He is a marquis. Although he joined the rebellion but we shouldn’t execute him like this. Lock him up.”

“Yes!”

Han Yuan carried him away.

Lin Qiong walked close and lowered his voice, “Your Highness, the entrances are closed and we can’t head out. What now? Beihai City members aren’t willing to say anything. After interrogation, only God Marquis knows what is going on. The other majors know nothing. They are afraid like us so what should we do?”

I sucked in a deep breath, “Don’t rush, there will definitely be a way. Order all majors over for a meeting.”

“Yes!”

……

“Di!”

A message came from Fang Ge Que, “Xiao Yao, what’s the situation there?”

“We entered a city called Ghost City and are preparing to defend and wait for the thing to progress. How are things outside?”

“Entrance is closed and no matter what we do we can’t rebuild the space. Even the Nine Heavens City mages can’t form a teleportation formation.” Fang Ge Que was helpless, “We know nothing about that region and can’t help you at all. What now?”

“No choice.” I was helpless too, “We have 500 thousand players and 500 thousand troops here. Players can’t head back and probably only death can they return. However, these 500 thousand NPCs are the elites of Tian Ling City, if anything happens, our foundations would be affected.”

“Yes!” Fang Ge Que gritted his teeth, “I will think of a way. Work hard on your side, I believe this map isn’t only to harm us right?”

“Right, that is all we can do.”

But Destiny wasn’t a company that did normal things right. Who knows?

……

Ghost City didn’t have a palace, just an old broken administrative hall that was similar to a church. Li Mu, Wang Jian, Six Ya etc were outside to defend the city. Yan Zhao Warrior, Jian Feng Han, Q-Sword and I followed the NPCs into the hall and a few NPC troops were building a sandboard to split up regions.

“We are trapped here.” Lin Qiong said firmly.

Tan Taiyu held the sandboard and bit his teeth, “This is a trap and we jumped in. Damn, why didn’t we notice it!?”

“It is too late to regret.”

I pointed out where we were, “Although we are not sure but there is definitely a stronger enemy waiting for us. The war hawk knights were sent to scout and we have to ensure a hundred miles of safety. The moment we notice an enemy, we have to report to the city.”

Situ Xin frowned, “Your Highness, our problem isn’t knowing where to go but that we lost our direction. We don’t have many resources, the grain can only last for three days. If we can’t find the way back, without even needing people to attack, we will die in the city.”

Yan Zhao Warrior said, “Xiao Yao, we should send people toward the direction of where we came from to find a way back.”

“En, not too many.”

“That…”

Situ Xin cupped his fists, “I send an iron cavalry group from Guards Army? Not too many, just 1000. At least we can defend where we came from. Once it opens up, we can head back right?”

“Okay!”

Situ Xin turned around, “Chu Jiang, come!”

A lieutenant stepped out, “General!”

“Lead 1000 iron cavalries out to defend the entrance that we came from. Once the entrance opens up report back to us do you understand?”

“Yes Sir!”

Chu Jiang walked out fervently.

……

“Your highness, what can we do now?” Situ Xin asked.

I sighed, “Send 100 cavalry teams out, 10 people each to scout this region. If you notice grain or fruit forests then report back. We need to solve our food problem. Apart from that, scout each part of the city and see if there is any stored food.”

“Yes!”

Players could go without food but NPC troops had to. If we didn’t eat in a few days people would die, that was not something I would like to see.

Moreover, this was our first day here and we didn’t understand this place. I even didn’t dare to go offline, after all, I was the one who ordered us to charge in.

Night, we interrogated God Marquis again but there was still nothing gained. Even when Han Yuan tortured him, he was still unable to make him say anything.

……

Night, I stood on the cold city walls. The night wind was really cold and the wind was huge, causing my cape to flutter. Royal Army’s flag flew in the wind and the soldiers looked the stars. Luckily the vision at night was not bad and the stars lit up a huge area. If someone sneak attacked, we could notice them early.

“What is this, are we really trapped in this map?” Dong Cheng Yue held her staff and accompanied by my side, “Your Highness, let’s play a game?”

I laughed, “Okay what, do you think I have the mood.”

She laughed, “Wan Er went to rush the chef to cook and we will go offline in half an hour. Don’t be anxious. Moreover, you don’t have to worry too much, we have a million. Moreover, Tian Ling City’s elites are all here, the main force to kill the 7 kingdoms. They are said to be the strongest army on the continent. What are you all worried about?”

“I…”

I breathed out, “Actually I am not worried, I am just terrified of the unknown. After all, we know nothing about here. If anything happens, we don’t know how to handle it.”

“En, right.” She giggled and slapped my shoulder, “Your Highness you consider about too many things. If I were you I would just let Yan Zhao Warrior deal with everything and go offline to sleep. Anything that happens here has nothing to do with you right?”

I laughed.

Yan Zhao Warrior held his sword and said, “If Xiao Yao really did that, I would cry. Not many people can talk here. Q-Sword and Jian Feng Han’s ranks are lower and even if players have high reputation here we can’t control the NPC troops. Our main force is 500 thousand NPCs here!”

Dong Cheng Yue licked her lips, “Don’t care, anyways you are heading to eat with us and sleep with us. Who cares about this place!”

Yan Zhao laughed, “When did you sleep together?”

Her face flushed red, “I am talking about the time!”

“Eh, our Litte Miss Dong Cheng knows how to be shy, so surprising!”

“You damn Executor…”

……

Not long later, Wan Er’s message came to tell us to head offline to eat. Tang Qi went offline. This fellow was excited about eating.

Time to eat was here and Qin Wen was here too. The dishes were not bad. Actually, each meal here was great. After all, we didn’t lack money. It was good to have money, we could eat meat for every meal!

“Are you all trapped?” Qin Wen was shocked.

“Right!” Wan Er helped me get a bowl of porridge and said, “We are trapped on a new map who knows what will happen? So we can’t sleep tonight and have to play overnight!”

“Okay…” Qin Wen smiled, “Anyways don’t play overnight every day or I will have to complain to uncle. Don’t blame me for that”

“Understood, we rarely do that.”

“Quick eat, who knows what would happen at Ghost City.”

“En!”

……

After eating, go online!

“Shua!”

I appeared on the walls and it was still night in game but it seemed like dawn. There looked like there was about to be a sunrise.

“Brother Xiao Yao, you are finally here!”

Yue Qing Qian held her dagger over and said, “Not long ago, some players went out to hunt but they met some strong monsters and were killed. They then revived in Tian Ling City. If we don’t want to stay here, we can just suicide!”

I was speechless, “If we can not use that then let’s not…”

After all, we could revive but these NPCs couldn’t. I didn’t want Han Yuan, jing Yin, Situ Xin and Lin Qiong to die here.

“The sky is about to be bright.” Yan Zhao Warrior sucked in a deep breath. He didn’t go offline. After becoming The Executor, this uncle had more and more responsibility. It was hard for him

“En, the sky lit up…”

The sun rose from the east and pierced through the darkness.

At that moment, a white twilight rose up in the distance, more and more of them.

“What is going on, what is that?” Situ Xin asked.

I shook my head, “I don’t know, is that a mist?”

Zhu Hai held his beard and said, “It looks like something with a mind, if not how could it wrap Ghost City from all around? Not good, there is definitely something!”

I said hurriedly, “ORder people to enter from outside. Close the gates!”

“Yes!”

……

The mist got thicker and thicker and it was 300 meters away from the city.

“Use the Dragon Crystal Cannons to fire and see what they are?” Situ Xin asked.

I shook my head, “No, wait a while.”

There was suddenly a ‘xiu’, a black shadow shot out and pinned on the walls. It was just ten meters from us. When we saw the thick arrows, we sucked in a cold breath. The few girls also screamed from fright.

There was actually a head on the arrow. It stabbed the mouth and then out from the back of the head. We knew this person, it was actually Chu Jiang that Situ Xin had sent out.

……

“Damn!” Situ Xin held his sword and his face was pained, “That… What the hell is that?”
