709 The Emissary

“Yes!”

A moment later, the call was connected, and the strategic projection in the center of the meeting room was quickly replaced by a virtual image of City Lord Wang.

City Lord Wang, hundreds of thousands of miles away, suddenly saw a group of big shots from the southern warzone appear on the screen. He immediately tensed up and respectfully saluted everyone.

“Little Wang, what’s going on in your place? Why are so many demons in Ocean City?”

!!

In the conference room, a white-haired elder stared at City Lord Wang and said.

Seeing the person who asked the question, City Lord Wang’s heart relaxed slightly. With a wronged and helpless expression, he said, “Elder Guo and the other officers, I don’t know why Ocean City has attracted so many demons. We were going to defend it with our lives, but the demons came with great momentum, and there were even two demons in the Celestial Realm behind them! There’s no way we can deal with them with our defensive forces! If we continue to stay there, I’m afraid everyone will be sacrificed in vain, so…”

“That’s enough.” The white-haired elder did not let City Lord Wang continue.

Everyone present also understood that his words were only to exonerate himself from his desertion.

However, the group had no intention of condemning him.

With the current situation in Ocean City, it was true that staying there would only lead to their deaths. Therefore, it was better to evacuate first and try to preserve as many high-level combat forces as possible.

As for the commoners, although they had suffered great losses, there was no choice.

“Have all of you retreated?” The bespectacled military woman asked.

City Lord Wang looked at the person who asked the question. He naturally understood that the ‘everyone’ she was referring to was the higher-ups of Ocean City.

He sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he put on a sorrowful look and said, ” Captain Zhou and his people insisted on staying with the people of Ocean City. I couldn’t persuade them, so I had no choice but to evacuate.”

Hearing this, the bespectacled woman frowned deeply.

She knew Captain Zhou’s temper and was afraid that he would really do so.

However, even though Captain Zhou was the type of person who would risk his life to protect the people, not all military personnel were like that.

If there were a situation where they might sacrifice themselves for nothing, most people would still choose to protect themselves first.

It wasn’t a cowardly act but a display of responsibility.

After all, the price of nurturing an Immortal Realm expert was huge.

Meaningless sacrifices were losses that no force would be willing to see.

However, according to City Lord Wang, all the military knew that this battle would be a meaningless sacrifice, but they still chose to hold on.

It was undoubtedly too abnormal.

“Wang Yannian! How bold of you!” The bespectacled woman shouted, causing City Lord Wang to shiver in fear.

His forehead was covered in a cold sweat, but he forced himself to remain calm. He looked puzzled and said, “Gen-general Wei, what’s wrong with me?”

“You still want to act in front of me? Harming your own people is a crime punishable by death!”

The bespectacled woman’s face turned cold.

The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly turned heavy.

Everyone knew that City Lord Wang’s words were indeed suspicious.

Moreover, this was no small matter.

There were dozens of Immortal Realm Practitioners stationed in Ocean City by the military. If all of them were killed there, it would be a blow to the entire southern war zone’s military.

If this matter isn’t investigated thoroughly, the military will not let it go.

Seeing the bespectacled woman’s interrogating posture, the white-haired elder who had previously questioned City Lord Wang snorted.

“General Wei, Yannian belongs to the Wang family. Even if there’s any problem, it should be solved by us. Your military’s hands shouldn’t stretch too far!”

The two were at loggerheads with each other, and there was suddenly a trend of daggers drawn.

“Enough!” At this moment, the bearded man who had been silent all this time shouted.

Everyone immediately fell silent and turned to look at him.

“The most important problem now is how to solve the crisis of the demons! Are you guys trying to fight to the death before the demons attack?”

The bespectacled woman was silent, and the white-haired elder also shut up.

However, from the expressions of both parties, it was obvious that they did not like each other.

The bearded man ignored them and turned to City Lord Wang, “As for the specific situation, I will personally organize a team to investigate it in the future. I can let go of your decision to abandon the city this time, but for now, you must stay there and investigate the details. If you dare to slack off, you don’t need to come back. Prepare to commit suicide!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the white-haired elder’s expression changed. He wanted to say something, but when he saw the bearded man’s eyes, he swallowed his words.

The others were waiting to watch a good show, but some had been paying attention to Ocean City.

“Wang Yannian, you’d better hurry up to make up for your mistake.”

One of the Wang family’s Celestial Realm higher-ups saw City Lord Wang’s expression constantly changing and couldn’t help but remind him.

Seeing this, City Lord Wang’s heart was filled with joy, and he quickly responded respectfully.

“Yes! This subordinate will do his best!”

At this point, City Lord Wang seemed to have thought of something and quickly said to the bearded man, “Lord Emissary, I have an important piece of information to report!”

“Speak,” he said. The bearded man’s face remained calm.

“When we were retreating, we found a strong energy fluctuation in the north of Ocean City. Although I can’t get a detailed understanding of the situation due to the distance, it should be someone unrecorded in the database from the energy fluctuations. It’s very likely to be a powerful being of a foreign race!”
