Worldwide Simulation Era-Chapter 700 - Guarding the City Alone

700 Guarding the City Alone

Everyone present was shocked and looked at Lin Qiye in disbelief.

A single person guarding a line of defense?

Is that a joke?

Ocean City’s three defensive lines spanned nearly ten thousand miles.

The entire city was a triangle shape, and each defense line stretched for thousands of miles.

Even if they sent out millions of troops to defend, they would still appear weak.

Even if Lin Qiye was powerful and could deal with several demons in the Earth Immortal Realm, he couldn’t stop the army of low-level demons like a tide.

If a group of low-level demons were allowed to enter the city, the damage to the people would be incalculable.

Everyone thought Lin Qiye was too arrogant. However, a few people did not think so.

They were the military members saved by Lin Qiye, led by Captain Zhou.

They had personally witnessed Lin Qiye annihilate a million demons with a single move.

Moreover, Lin Qiye did not seem to have used much of his energy at the time. It was obvious he still had some energy left.

It did not seem impossible to guard a line of defense by himself.

“Alright, everyone. Since Mr. Lin has already said so, let’s hurry up and act,” Captain Zhou stood out and said.

“This…”

Some people were still hesitating. Any losses suffered by Ocean City were related to their interests, and they couldn’t afford to be careless.

“Don’t worry. Mr. Lin’s strength is not limited to what you can see. Besides, he has already decided to stay behind to help us. Do you think he would joke around with his life?”

Captain Zhou scanned the crowd.

The people sitting in the room were the backbone forces of Ocean City. Without their support, they couldn’t survive the demon invasion.

Everyone looked at each other and thought for a while, but there seemed to be no better way.

Hence, they gritted their teeth and said, “Alright. We’ll have to rely on you, Mr. Lin.”

They didn’t know Lin Qiye’s true combat strength, but they thought he shouldn’t be too weak since he was rumored to kill a demon in the Celestial Realm.

Furthermore, Lin Qiye was their only hope of turning the tables. Wouldn’t they be courting death if they did not grasp this opportunity?

Soon, the local forces of Ocean City discussed with the military members, and they decided to transfer all the troops from the northern defense line.

Under Lin Qiye’s instructions, even the city defense cannons and the flying warships had been moved to the eastern defense line.

The whole process was not discussed with City Lord Wang and his men. They only briefed him after everything was settled and then sprung into action.

Although City Lord Wang was the City Lord of Ocean City and had the most authority here, the city defense had always been managed separately.

City Lord Wang was only in charge of the southwest defensive line.

Before Lin Qiye’s arrival, Ocean City’s southwest defensive line had almost twice as many soldiers as the other two defensive lines combined.

At the moment, the defense force of the military and Ocean City had been gathered. Together with a group of powerful warriors from the military and Ocean City, their overall combat strength was no less than that of the southwest line of defense.

As long as nothing went wrong with Lin Qiye’s side, even if the demons reached fifteen million and the high-level demon commanders were 400 to 500, they could still hold their own.

While everyone was on the move, Lin Qiye went to the northern battlefront to observe the situation.

Some higher-ups from the local organizations saw Lin Qiye leave and began questioning Captain Zhou and the others.

“Captain Zhou, is Lin Qiye as powerful as you say? Why do I feel a little uncertain?”
