Watching Su Xiao, who was breathing excitedly, Chen Luo circulated his blood and qi, restoring the pale complexion that had been drained by his skills.
After listening to Su Xiao explain the situation, Chen Luo’s gaze fell upon the communicator in her hand.
His spirit, nearing the brink of transformation, lent a real power to Chen Luo’s gaze.
*Buzz!*
Under the pull of his spiritual power, Su Xiao felt a great force snatch the communicator from her hand in an instant.
But Su Xiao couldn’t help but glare at Chen Luo, her face flushing, because the moment the communicator was taken, she felt her white slime had been brushed against.
Sensing Su Xiao’s gaze, Chen Luo coughed lightly to conceal his embarrassment.
His strength had grown too quickly, and his control precision was a bit low. Although the touch of his spiritual power felt even more real than his hand!
But please believe Chen Luo, he absolutely did not do it on purpose.
His spiritual power, enveloping the communicator, flew towards Chen Luo.
As the communicator’s camera turned towards Chen Luo, Chen, who was far away in the Imperial Capital, couldn’t help but feel a slight tremor:
“H-how could this be…”
The two Dragon Fang members monitoring the house from outside the golden house saw Chen’s eyes become vacant.
Their expressions changed simultaneously, and they quickly pushed the door open.
One used "Dispel," and a white light flew towards Chen.
The other held a long saber dropped by a monster, looking at Chen with a vacant gaze, his expression complex.
If the dispel was useless, he would have to prepare for battle.
But, it seemed to be the sound of the two rushing into the room, or perhaps the dispel startled Chen awake.
His gaze returned to a state of calm, but when he looked at the screen again, a hint of astonishment was still undeniable.
In the world, could there be such a handsome man?
“Team Leader Chen!” the Dragon Fang member holding the saber shouted.
Chen heard this and said softly:
“No need to be nervous. My system panel shows no abnormal text.”
“You can also confirm with the member next to you. When he cast the dispel, he should have been able to see my status.”
The man with the saber turned to look. The man beside him, who had used the dispel, nodded affirmatively after looking at his system panel for a while.
The tense atmosphere in the room then gradually dissipated.
After silently saluting Chen, the two turned and walked out of the golden house, sealing the door once more.
From beginning to end, no matter how curious they were, neither of them dared to peek at the communicator’s screen.
Chen Luo calmly waited for the farce on the other end of the communicator to end. Seeing Chen sit up straight again, Chen Luo nodded gently and said:
“Hello, I am Chen Luo, the City Lord of Starfire City-state.”
Chen, on the other end of the communicator, looked at Chen Luo, who appeared otherworldly in the image, and for a moment, he couldn’t react to the name.
Seeing the other party’s lack of response, Chen Luo continued:
“Su Xiao has already learned about the current crisis facing the Imperial Capital through internal network channels.”
“As a part of Great Yan, I am prepared to reinforce the Imperial Capital!”
The certainty in the man’s words was so strong that Chen couldn’t even voice his sense of absurdity.
You’re prepared to reinforce the Imperial Capital? How many divisions do you have?
The enemies outside the Imperial Capital are like mountains and seas. What can you do?
Chen’s mind raced, trying to deduce information about Donghai City. The first forbidden target had appeared in Donghai City before. Could it be that because of the existence of the first forbidden target,
The monsters there were fewer?
So the professionals there stabilized the situation, and after somehow contacting the Imperial Capital, they thought their situation was similar to theirs, with fewer monsters?
And this exceptionally handsome young man, yes, after casting aside his astonishment, Chen realized that the so-called City Lord opposite him was clearly a young man as refined as jade.
This young man, Chen thought, must have obtained a hidden profession, just like those within Dragon Fang.
Although his intentions were good, the young man probably hadn’t experienced the brutality of a real battlefield.
It’s likely that this young man simply gathered some professionals and took over Donghai City, where the monsters were scarce due to the fear of the first forbidden target.
Thinking this, Chen’s expression became somewhat serious:
“Mr. Chen, I am very grateful for your willingness to stand with us during this time of crisis.”
“But I am very sorry, individual strength is too weak in war! You must not have seen Nightmare-level existences.”
“According to the system rules, Nightmare-level beings generally do not actively attack human safe zones at this time.”
“But our soldiers have encountered those terrifying monsters in the wild! If it weren’t for heavy firepower saturation, we wouldn’t have been able to harm such monsters!”
The greater the gap in combat ratings, the greater the difference. Lord-level beings could still be countered with heavy firearms, while Nightmare-level beings, unless subjected to massive firepower saturation, were difficult to harm with ordinary attacks.
It wasn’t that rocket launchers couldn’t injure Nightmare-level beings, but rather that they simply couldn’t hit them.
And the Imperial Capital was well aware that the Nightmare-level beings they would face later would certainly not be one or two, but likely hundreds or thousands!
Thinking of the impending crisis in the Imperial Capital, Chen’s expression grew increasingly grave.
But hearing Chen speak, both Chen Luo and Su Xiao’s expressions became somewhat strange.
Nightmare-level? What insignificant little fries were those?
Oh, the Wolf King at the beginning was of that level.
Then it’s fine, they were indeed quite strong.
On the communicator’s side, Chen’s expression grew even more serious:
“Nightmare-level is a rank above Lord-level! And in the wild, there was even a completely annihilated unit that, before its destruction, sent a message we are still unable to confirm.”
“Above Nightmare-level! There is a terrifying existence called Calamity-level! That is a superior being even among monster ranks!”
“And what our Imperial Capital will face next are countless Nightmare-level beings, and in the darkness, monsters that might be above Nightmare-level!”
Looking at Chen, whose expression was as serious as if the world were ending, Chen Luo glanced helplessly at his equally stunned secretary, blinking his eyes:
“This uncle seems to think our battlefield is very weak.”
“Speaking of which, if I told him I was Abyss-level, he probably wouldn’t know which rating Abyss-level falls into.”
Confused by Chen’s warning, Su Xiao felt Chen Luo’s gaze and once again covered her white slime, glaring at him fiercely:
“Don’t brush me with your eyes next time! Be careful I tell your family!”
“It’s true! Of all the battlefields in the world, Great Yan’s is the most brutal. And even in the most brutal Imperial Capital, the strongest on the front lines has always only been Lord-level!”
Their eye contact was quite peculiar; the two somehow understood each other’s meanings.
Chen Luo glanced at the white slime again, then silently turned his head.
It was all caused by gravity, and besides, looking at it was a male instinct! Stop scolding, my dear secretary.
On the display side, seeing Chen Luo turn his head in silence, Chen thought the other party was intimidated by his information. Considering the young man’s eagerness to support, he comforted him:
“Mr. Chen, it is already very good that you and Captain Su have managed to protect some of the citizens within Donghai City.”
“Great Yan is indeed at its most critical moment, but it has not reached the point where you young people need to go to the battlefield.”
Thinking of the hundreds or thousands of Nightmare-level monsters that the Imperial Capital might face in a few hours, and the mutual destruction plan already listed as the final option in the Imperial Capital’s conference room, Chen’s heart sank.
Yes, before we die, you young people indeed do not need to go to the battlefield.
But if we fall, Great Yan, without the Imperial Capital, will face the endless torment of the monsters.
At that time, who will protect you?
