Chapter 259 Siege of the Beasts
Chapter 259 Siege by Strange Beasts
"Who are you, you coward, come and meet your death!"
Upon hearing this angry shout, Li Jie knew that the red-armored general who had leaped up from the top of the city wall regarded him as an intruder.
The problem is that he can't explain it now, because...
The red-tasseled spear, which had just been thrown away by the Red-Armored General, was falling straight towards Li Jie's back.
Li Jie glanced behind him, flicked two fingers to unleash a pale blue sword aura, and sent the spear, which gleamed with a hint of cold light, flying away.
On the other side, the red-armored general's powerful punch was already aimed at Li Jie's face.
Seeing this, Li Jie remained calm and simply shifted slightly to the side, easily neutralizing the seemingly flawless combined attack.
Having missed his target, the red-armored general, now without any support, lost control of his body and slowly plummeted downwards.
Strangely, the figure clad in heavy armor vanished as it was about to hit the ground, turning into a wisp of wind.
"What about people?"
Upon seeing this, Li Jie frowned even more deeply.
Strange place, strange people.....
Without the threat of the Red Armor General, he easily reached the inner city wall.
"It feels like...this place is a ghost town..."
Looking at the magnificent buildings inside the city walls, Li Jie couldn't help but murmur to himself.
Yes, although the interior of this city within a city was very majestic and grand, there was no sound coming from it. The empty corridors looked particularly eerie under the blood-red waning moon.
He lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped down from the city wall, walking slowly on the official road paved with bluestone bricks.
Tap... Tap... Tap...
When Li Jie arrived in front of the main hall located in this city within a city, the tightly closed hall doors slowly opened without any warning, accompanied by a teeth-grinding creaking sound.
Upon seeing this, the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
"So... you were waiting for me here..."
Through the dim moonlight, one could vaguely see a burly figure sitting on the throne directly in front of the main hall.
At the same time, shrill screams mixed with the roars of mysterious beasts came from all directions.
Upon hearing these sounds, Li Jie frowned slightly.
When he first arrived here, he didn't notice any wild animals outside the city walls...
Where did these howling sounds come from?
With no clue what to do, Li Jie could only start walking towards the main hall.
He needs a definite answer now.
Deep down, Li Jie felt that the burly figure sitting inside the main hall would give him the answer.
As he stepped across the threshold and into the main hall, he saw the man's face clearly in the dim moonlight and exclaimed in surprise.
"How can it be?!!"
Upon closer inspection, the golden-armored general sitting on the throne looked exactly like Li Jie.
"You came."
Just as Li Jie was lost in thought, the burly general, who seemed to be a carbon copy of him, calmly spoke.
"you know me?"
"To be precise, you are me... and I am you..."
"???"
Now, Li Jie, who was already somewhat dizzy, was even more bewildered.
"Now that you're here, I'll give you two more choices."
Before Li Jie could even ask, the golden-armored general sitting on the throne continued to speak.
"First, helping Sirius City overcome the siege by the alien beasts might cost you your life..."
"Secondly, I will depart here and end this remaining life..."
"Wait, you just said you'd give me two more options? Does that mean I've been here before?"
"Choose one... or choose two?"
Although Li Jie reacted quickly, he asked a very crucial question.
But the figure sitting on the throne offered no explanation, merely mechanically inquiring about Li Jie's choice.
It seems that... if I don't resolve the incident here, I won't be able to understand the whole truth.
"Then I'll choose one."
"Are you sure? You'll die..."
"determine."
"...In that case, you shall join the army on the expedition..."
Having received Li Jie's affirmative reply, the figure sitting on the throne unconsciously let out a barely audible chuckle, but he quickly composed himself and gave Li Jie the order.
To go on a military expedition?
What army are you referring to, the Sirius Army?
When Li Jie realized what was happening and wanted to ask for some reason, he found that his attire had changed to the same dark red armor as the red-armored general he had encountered before.
He also had a standard-issue sword made of fine steel at his waist.
The scene shifts, and he has been left behind by the magnificent main hall, arriving at the walls of the city within a city.
The event happened so suddenly that Li Jie was not prepared at all. After he calmed himself down and looked around, he found that a whole guard wearing standard armor had appeared on the city wall at some point.
They divided the work and worked together to resist the mysterious beasts climbing up the city walls.
"Quick! Stop them!"
"Over here! We've already made it up here!!"
"Archers!! Where are the archers?!!"
"........"
The shouts of soldiers and the howls of wild beasts filled the air, and the chaotic noise startled Li Jie from his daze.
Just then, a three-meter-long, scarlet-tongued monster leaped up from the outer edge of the city wall and thrust its sharp claws fiercely towards the direction where Li Jie was standing.
"Protect the master!"
In a flash, an ordinary soldier not far from Li Jie charged headlong into the faceless monster that was attacking Li Jie.
Puff.
The sharp claws pierced the soldier's chest with ease.
Boom! !
After the monster landed, it flung the lifeless soldier from its grasp, then opened its claws and shoved the still-beating heart it had just removed from the soldier's chest into its mouth, chewing it vigorously...
Click, click, click...
Coming to his senses, Li Jie looked at the familiar ghost-faced monster in front of him and the soldier who had just died on the spot after having his heart removed by the Ghost-Faced King while protecting him. Anger welled up in his heart!
He drew his fine steel sword from his waist and swung it sharply in the direction where the Ghost-Faced King was standing.
A pale blue sword aura surged forth!
Before long, the demon-faced king, who was showing a ferocious smile, had been split in two!
"My lord is mighty!!"
"Your Excellency is mighty!!!"
Upon seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city all raised their arms and shouted, fighting even harder against the mysterious beasts that came to attack the city!
But... after delivering the final blow, Li Jie couldn't manage a smile...
