Chapter 557 Death Is The Only End
In fact, the Queen had the same concerns.
She turned to look at Lin Qiye. Naturally, the latter had also heard everyone's discussion.
However, he had an indifferent expression, as if he didn't take everyone's doubts to heart.
"Your Majesty, there's news from the front line."
Just as everyone was waiting for an explanation from Lin Qiye, a messenger rushed to the Queen's side.
The Queen took another glance at Lin Qiye, who didn't have much of a reaction, before turning around and receiving the new report.
With just a glance, the Queen's expression immediately turned ugly.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask when he saw that the Queen wasn't in a good state.
"The demons have tightened their line of defense. It seems like they want to execute the beheading directly."
The information detailed the new movements of the demons.
After the demon nest had appeared, the demon army scattered in all directions and formed a straight line to invade Country Xu.
But now, they suddenly began to gather their forces and focus them on one point.
Over a hundred Immortal Level demons were acting together, and it seemed like they had also received information from the human camp.
They knew the humans had gathered many experts to deal with them, so they summoned the army, preparing to wipe out all the high-level fighting forces of Country Xu in one fell swoop.
"Tighten the front?"
Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow.
He had been worried about the demons being too scattered, and now he had received news that the demons had gathered. It was like a pillow that came when he was sleepy. It was what he wanted.
Seeing his reaction, the Queen couldn't help but frown. She thought she didn't explain it clearly enough, so she explained again, "Now that more than a hundred Immortal Level demons have gathered, the only way left for us is to fight them head-on!"
Lin Qiye shrugged.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
The Queen was speechless.
She didn't know if Lin Qiye was just confident or pretending to be stupid.
The demons were already stronger than human cultivators of the same level, and now, they had dozens more top-tier combat strength than them.
How could they have any chance of winning in such a battle?
"Lord Holy Infant, can you give me some information? In my perception, your realm seems to be only at the Human Immortal Realm."
The Queen's words weren't explicit, but the worry and doubt in her words were obvious.
If Lin Qiye was only a cultivator in the Human Immortal Realm, he could only delay the destruction of Country Xu by facing this crisis.
"My cultivation realm is not too high, but strength cannot be determined by realm. Don't worry. As long as it's not a demon at the Celestial Level, I can deal with it. "
The Queen's heart trembled.
What an arrogant tone. As long as it wasn't a demon at the Celestial Level, he could deal with it!?
Didn't that mean he was a Celestial?
After all, human cultivators had no chance of winning against demons of the same realm.
Seeing that the Queen was still hesitating, Lin Qiye smiled and said, "I'll be the main force in this counterattack. You only need to kill the demons that escape from my domain."
"Huh? Do you mean to deal with those demons alone?"
The Queen couldn't believe her ears.
Lin Qiye nodded.
"You can say that, but my strength is limited, and I may not be able to trap all those demons together. So I need you to keep an eye on the periphery and clean up those who escape the net."
His conversation with the Queen was heard by all the Immortal Realm experts present.
Some of them widened their eyes in shock, while others had looks of suspicion.
However, since Lin Qiye was the one who took the lead, he would be the one to die even if something went wrong. Thus, no one objected.
"Since the demons have already gathered, let's go there earlier to avoid more losses," Lin Qiye said to the Queen.
"Alright. I'll have to trouble you this time, Lord Holy Infant."
The Queen could only gamble with Lin Qiye. Without hesitation, she turned to the crowd of experts and said, "The demon army is gathering in Fanhua City. Please prepare to face the enemy. Let's go!"
With a single order, more than 70 Immortal Realm experts quickly passed through the teleportation array between cities and arrived at Yan City, which was the closest to Fanhua City.
Since this operation had been decided suddenly, Yan City had not received any news about reinforcements.
At this moment, Yan City looked peaceful. Because the demons' attack was too fierce, apart from the higher-ups of Country Xu, the ordinary people had not received any information about it.
However, the City Lord and the upper echelons of the various factions left behind to guard Yan City were already in a mess.
In the City Lord's mansion, the City Lord of Yan City gathered with the higher-ups of the various factions. They were looking at each other with bitter expressions.
"The demons have already reached Fanhua City. We should abandon the city as soon as possible."
"That's right. We can't deal with those evil beings. The capital hasn't sent any reinforcements for a long time. Staying here will only lead to death!"
Everyone in the hall expressed their opinions.
When they first heard that the demons had attacked Fanhua City, they wanted to escape.
However, they were worried the Queen would punish them for abandoning the citizens in the future, so they had been holding back and came to discuss this with the City Lord.
"But if we escape, what about the people? In the future, when the Queen sweeps away the demons, won't we have no place to stay?"
The City Lord was also a little vexed.
It wasn't that he didn't want to escape, but he knew the Queen's personality better than anyone else present.
