Chapter 110: Monster Attack.

Edited by: Mochiusagi 

Get ready for war!

Nie Xu clenched his fists, which were hidden in his sleeves.

He could imagine what kind of situation Jim City would fall into, once the Barbarians marched into the Great Wilderness Province.

After his initial anger, Nie Xu calmed down: “Why has there been no news from the Imperial Court on this matter?”

“Monsters have attacked all over the Great Wilderness Province on a large scale.”

“Most of the power of the Imperial Court’s attention is in the Great Wilderness Mansion. They are busy suppressing the monsters and evil disasters.”

“The three Demon Suppression Divisions are also occupied. The Barbarians took advantage of the situation.”

Chu Ding’s expression was cold. 

What he said made Nie Xu’s face change again, as he didn’t get the news at all.

If it wasn’t for Chu Ding saying it, Nie Xu would not have known that the situation in the Great Wilderness Province had fallen into such a chaotic state.

After a while, a flash of light flashed in Nie Xu’s mind, and then his complexion suddenly changed.

“Could it be that the two have something to do with each other!?”

If the two were in cahoots, then the problem was more serious.

The demons alone already made the Great Qin chaotic, and now there were Barbarians added into the mix? The latter may not be as strong as the former, but joining forces would increase the burden on the Great Qin.

“Probably!”

Chu Ding nodded, agreeing with Nie Xu’s guess.

Nie Xu looked at the former: “General Chu, this official suggests that the Black Tiger Army should be stationed in the city. Now that the Barbarians have conquered Ningshan City, and the Great Wilderness being so far away from the Capital in the Central Plains, the Capital may not be able to make reasonable arrangements in a short period of time. Right now, people in the Great Wilderness Province can only rely on themselves to save themselves.”

“Jin City is still a big city with tall and strong walls.”

“It is not difficult to accommodate 12,000 Black Tiger Army soldiers in Jin City, and although it’s impossible to free up a suitable training ground, the situation’s different now.”

“Who knows when the Barbarian army will arrive at the gate of Jin City. Only by entering the city, would there be hope of resisting the Barbarian’s offensive.”

Chu Ding also did not refuse.

Soon, the horn sounded.

All of the soldiers, sleeping in the tents, immediately assembled. Then, led by Chu Ding, they headed for Jin City.

On the other hand, Nie Xu also returned to the Government Office.

The news he got from Chu Ding today made him uneasy.

“With the destruction of Ningshan City, the casualties of the Great Qin’s defenders are certainly not small. Now, the demons and the Barbarians are cooperating with each other.”

This was bound to be a storm!

Once the Great Wilderness Province was captured by the Barbarians, the entire Great Qin would be affected.

It may not be rich in resources, but its geographical location was extremely important.

It was because once the Barbarians occupied the Great Wilderness Province, they would be able to threaten the Central Plains.

By that time, it was equivalent to having a sword placed on the Great Qin’s neck. Once the sword cuts through, the Great Qin’s foundation would crumble.

Getting rid of distractions, Nie Xu’s eyes fell on a piece of white paper, which was flattened on the table. He then began to write.

It was his favorite thing to do on weekdays.

Whenever something happened that made him upset, he would write to calm himself down.

Gradually, Nie Xu was immersed in writing. As he waved the brush in his hand, the strokes looked like dancing dragons. It gave people a different feeling.

[Whoosh~]!

A gust of wind whistled, resounding in the silent night sky, like that of aggrieved souls.

The Government Office’s plaque creaked amidst the wind and was about to fall at any moment.

Soon enough, the plaque fell off and broke into pieces.

This small movement instantly attracted the attention of the Officials on duty.

“What happened!?”

“A gust of wind suddenly blew off the plaque and broke it.”

Several Officials looked at the fallen plaque, their expressions were a little unsightly.

The inexplicable wind and the now broken plaque made them feel that things were unusual.

Liu Jian immediately said: “Clean it up. Let’s wait until tomorrow to report the damage, and then go to the craftsman to make a new one.”

“The others should continue to patrol. If there is any abnormal situation, you must report it as soon as possible.”

“Yes!”

Immediately, someone began cleaning up the broken plaque on the ground and held it outside the Government Office to throw it away.

It was then…

[Wuuuwuu~]!

A woman’s cry rang in the ears of the two Officials.

“Who is it!?”

“Who is making trouble here!?” 

The two Officials trembled and looked around in a panic.

Above the entrance of the Government Office were two hanging lanterns, which dispelled some of the darkness.

With the help of the weak light, the two saw a long-haired woman squatting beside the stone lion on the left, her head deeply buried in her knees.

When they saw the woman, the two were startled again.

From the back of the woman, one could see her long black hair cascading down her back. She was wearing a plain long skirt, and one could see that she was a beautiful woman with a graceful figure.

“Old Zhou, why don’t you go and check ?”

One of the Officials rammed his elbow into his colleague, his throat rolling involuntarily.

The one called Old Zhou however, didn’t move.

“Old Wu, this is not very good. A woman crying here in the dead of night… No matter how you look at it, this is not normal, why don’t we go back?”

Although the woman looked like a beauty, it was in the dead of night.  

A woman suddenly appearing here alone naturally made people feel a little anxious.

Further, weird things had been happening all over the place.

In particular, Jin City had just experienced an Evil Calamity not long ago, making this situation more terrifying.

Hearing this, the Official named Old Wu also showed a hesitant look.

But it didn’t take long for him to shake his head.

“The Slayer from the Demon Suppression said that the monsters in Jin City have been wiped out. This woman should just have some problem and came here to the Government Office. As Officials, isn’t it our job to serve the people?”

Old Wu then smiled, and after discarding the plaque in his hand, he walked towards the woman.

As he got closer, he could clearly see how attractive the woman’s back was. At the same time, she exuded a faint fragrance that made people want to indulge in it.

Old Wu felt a little itchy, but he had professional ethics. Instead of messing around like a ruffian, he asked softly.

“This miss is crying here in the middle of the night. What happened?” 

Though, the woman continued to cry and didn’t respond.

Seeing this, Old Wu smiled again: “You can rest assured, Miss. I am from the Government. If you have any grievances, feel free to speak up. The Government will definitely uphold justice for you!”

The woman’s crying stopped a little.

Then a gentle voice intermittently sounded.

“You… You…” 

Her voice was soft and low. She was also choking and sobbing, making Old Wu unable to hear her clearly.

He couldn’t help, but get closer, and the faint fragrance instantly became much richer. There also seemed to be some strange smell mixed in the rich fragrance.

At this time, Old Wu finally heard the woman’s words clearly.

“You can die now.”

Her voice, which was supposed to be gentle, suddenly became cold and harsh, making people feel like their heart was being grasped by a big hand. It was almost impossible to breathe.

At this time, the woman turned her head sideways and looked at the horrified Old Wu.

With the help of the light at the entrance, he saw a face full of rot and maggots. The strange smell mixed with the fragrance suddenly turned into a horrible stench.

At that moment, Old Wu felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

“Old Wu, what happened?”

Old Zhou, who was standing not far away, looked at Old Wu standing still. Now knowing what the former was doing, he couldn’t help but be curious.

Due to the distance and the darkness, he couldn’t see the woman’s face here.

Suddenly, Old Wu’s body trembled, and a palm passed through his back, a beating heart was exposed to the air. After grabbing the heart, the palm retracted and Old Wu’s body fell on the ground. 

At that moment, Old Zhou’s pupils shrank, and his vision became unprecedentedly clear.

In his sight, Old Lao Wu had fallen to the ground with his eyes wide open. There was a large opening in his chest, with a large amount of blood pouring out of it.

Meanwhile, the rotted faced woman relished at the beating heart, eating it like it was her dinner. 

“Monster, monster attack!”

Old Zhou shouted frantically, and at the same time he ran into the Government Office.

However, before he could step into the gate, he was pierced by a palm, sending a sharp pain into his brain. When Old Zhou looked down, he saw a palm sticking out from his chest.

Moreover, there was a pumping object, full of blood, in her palm.

It was his heart.

After a while, Old Zhou completely lost consciousness.
