Chapter 386 - 386 86 Fragile as a Stack of Eggs Three in One

Chapter 386: Chapter 86: Fragile as a Stack of Eggs [Three in One] Chapter 386: Chapter 86: Fragile as a Stack of Eggs [Three in One] He Bibiqu, his neck clutched, struggled for breath said, “Simply because you are Great Yan’s Purple Emperor!”

At these words, the Purple Emperor was left speechless in surprise, seemingly at a loss for a response!

Objectively speaking, he was indeed the primary target of the Golden Emperor. Damn it, he was bamboozled by the little bureaucratic official in Heavenly Clothes standing before him!

“It has come to this point, no matter how eloquent or persuasive you are, it will be of no use. The lives of thirty million people of Yuezhou City rest upon you, and you cannot evade your responsibility!”

Despite the difficulty in his breaths, He Bibiqu was relentless in his words: “If you run away today, even if I die, and even if every citizen of Yuezhou City does not survive, I can guarantee that the name of the Purple Emperor will still stink to high heavens!”

He looked at the Purple Emperor with a hawk-like gaze: “Even if you can reach up to the sky and skillfully argue your case, the karma from today is already set. When you push for the ultimate level, the revenge of the thirty million souls of Yuezhou City… will not go unnoticed by heaven, can you still escape!?”

“Your Majesty, the Purple Emperor, as a profound practitioner, you should know that heaven and earth cannot be deceived, it’s not that there won’t be retribution, it’s just not the time yet!”

‘This, not only does the Purple Emperor know, but he knows far more than He Bibiqu does!

Otherwise, he would have already left, why would he bother to argue and add to the chaos?

But precisely because he knew the grave consequences, he was even more furious.

As the mighty Purple Emperor, he was forced into a precarious situation. Was he so easily manipulated?

During the conversation between the Purple Emperor and He Bibiqu, Ma Qiange, Wu Tiejun, Fei Xinyu, and the others were not idle.

They separately mobilized their troops, arranged the defenses, swarmed to the city walls, and guarded the passes!

Furthermore, they dispatched detail-oriented personnel to seal all the city gates with sand and stones, ensuring that even a snake as fine as a chopstick couldn’t get through.

In the face of the impending snake attack, no precaution could be deemed too cautious. Worrying about not being cautious enough was the only concern!

By this point, all the generals of the defense force had already ascended to the city walls. Each person was responsible for a section, alternately arranging the first, second, third… teams, ready to support at any time.

People like those in Heavenly Clothes were mobilizing all the martial artists in the entire city, regardless of their nationality, sect, or power – they were all conscripted for war.

Just in case the army can’t hold back the wave of snakes, then before the army is wiped out, the martial artists in the city will have to hold the line.

Under no circumstances should the wave of snakes be allowed into Yuezhou and they should buy time for the relief troops.

If any gap appears, with the might of the snake horde, Yuezhou could fall within half a day. The devastation could only be averted by risking everything.

Unsure whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, after a round of clean up, the remaining soldiers in Yuezhou were all ones with extraordinary abilities. Even facing the impending catastrophe with death at their door, not one of them showed any sign of cowardice.

The governor of Yuezhou also took action, leading the local soldiers and officers to clean out all the warehouses, transporting vast amounts of flammable materials to the city walls.

Many wealthy households voluntarily donated kerosene and vegetable oil; those who did not voluntarily donate, the governor made a grand gesture, and directly went in to seize it!

In such a crisis, there was no time to consider these secondary concerns. Everything was prioritized towards the necessities of war.

Seeing the impending disaster, the citizens also spontaneously began transporting logs and rocks to the city walls.

Above the city wall, huge fires blazed in thousands of large pots, boiling caustic solution, whose pungent smell filled the air and lingered.

The Golden Emperor, hovering midair, looked at everyone bustling below, the indifference in his eyes as cold as ever.

Make your preparations as you please.

Could this small Yuezhou resist the elite forces of my whole clan?

The only upper-tier expert in Yuezhou right now was the Purple Emperor.

Even if he had great skills, it would be impossible to resist the onslaught from all sides.

Struggle as hard as you can, you ants!

Only when you strive to survive, can we trap the Purple Emperor here. With luck, you’ll last till the last soldier falls, making it easier for me to wear down the Purple Emperor, expelling this troublesome foe, this deep-seated vengeance!

Countless bundles of dry branches and hay were thrown over the city wall, making a thick layer.

Even many uninhabited old houses were demolished, the stones used to fortify the city, while the rooftops and beams were cut into pieces, transported to the city walls, to serve as firewood.

Countless scholars and literati, took to the streets, calling for everyone to work together with whatever resources they have, to unite in this crucial moment, to strive for survival, and to defend the city.

Everyone understood this, no one was idle, treating this day as potentially their last, asserting their will to exist.

The current situation was completely different from being invaded by the army of another country. Under the demon wave, all traces of human life would be obliterated. Could there be any luck in this?!

If it was a war between two nations, unless extreme measures were taken, the invading army seldom resorts to massacring the citizens. But when demon beasts enter the city, satiating their hunger is paramount. Every living being in the city would turn into food in the stomachs of these beasts.

Knowing this, who would dare to slack off?

Even the most selfish, the most shameless person, could now think of nothing but defending the city, without any complacency.

At this moment, there was a thick layer of flammable materials laid outside the city wall, stretching to a width of a hundred feet and a depth of a foot.

Wu Tiejun stood at the highest point of the city wall, roaring sternly: “No one move! No fires!”

He swiftly knocked a rocket out of a soldier’s hand with a flat palm, barking sternly: “No one is allowed to act impulsively!”
