Walking out of the pharmacy, Ning Bei raised his hand and released a wave of Soul Power, isolating this place from the outside world. Without the strength of a Super Douluo, no one could even think of getting close to the pharmacy.
After finishing all this, Ning Bei found a high point and began to survey the situation in the city.
Currently, Qiu Er, riding the Crimson Gold Tiger King, had already arrived beneath the inner city gate, forming a standoff with the army composed of Star Luo Soul Masters. Many scattered Soul Beasts had already begun to wreak havoc in the outer city districts. For a time, cries of sorrow could be heard everywhere, cries from soldiers, wealthy merchants, and commoners alike.
Ning Bei felt helpless about this. He couldn't possibly take care of all the innocent people. After all, it was war, and the accompanying sacrifices were understandable.
"Blame that little bastard. If he had just died, I wouldn't be so free to participate in the empire's struggles."
Beneath the inner city gate, Qiu Er looked at the gate before her, feeling quite speechless. Why build so many gates for no reason?
This inevitably brought up the evils of the aristocratic system. Those aristocratic lords, in order to highlight their status, specifically funded the creation of a core city area to separate themselves from the commoners and merchants. Now, it had successfully created another obstacle for her predicament.
This also made those nobles even more grateful for what they had done. If there wasn't this second gate, wouldn't they be like the lowly commoners in the outer city, being devoured by Soul Beasts?
Dai Tianyu reappeared on the city gate, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at Qiu Er. It was this woman who had destroyed his foundation.
Although he hated her immensely in his heart, he still had to force himself to speak and communicate with the woman before him.
"Your Excellency, no matter what deep-seated hatred there is, isn't it enough now? After this battle, Star Luo won't be able to recover its vitality for decades. Can Your Excellency call it off?"
Qiu Er was now very annoyed by this incessant chatterbox. Couldn't he act like a man and fight her head-on? From the first moment they met, he wanted to make her retreat with just his mouth.
"Open the gate and surrender, and I'll spare you."
"Otherwise, I'll slaughter the city!"
Qiu Er had never been a benevolent person. Even the well-behaved Crimson Gold Tiger King beneath her would have its tiger brain eaten alive if it annoyed her, let alone Dai Tianyu, this incessant complainer.
Seeing that Qiu Er was impervious to reason, Dai Tianyu also became angry.
"Hmph, does Your Excellency really think you have Star Luo in your grasp? I'm telling you, there are still tens of thousands of Soul Master troops in this core inner city. Do you really want to fight to the death?"
"Too much nonsense."
Having had enough fun, Qiu Er no longer had any patience. Now, she just wanted to complete her general's mission.
Qiu Er directly leaped from the Crimson Gold Tiger King's head, her smooth jade leg fiercely kicking towards the inner city gate.
"Door Panel Shattering Kick."
"."
Amidst the horrified expressions of the defending generals, the familiar scene reappeared. As Qiu Er's slender leg imprinted on the door panel, a huge roar came.
"Tch, it seems your door panels are all of similar quality. Break for me."
As Qiu Er exerted force a second time, the already cracked door panel scattered on the ground again, revealing the equally stunned guards behind the city gate.
Unlike the ordinary soldiers in the outer city, these troops composed of Soul Masters did not retreat. Their families were behind them, and they had no way out.
"Soldiers, follow me and rush out! We can't let the Soul Beasts harm our families."
"Yes!"
From the moment the city gate was breached, Dai Tianyu directly began to boost morale. If these soldiers couldn't organize an effective defense, then Star Luo would really be finished. Relying solely on those Soul Sage and Soul Douluo-level high-end combat forces wouldn't be enough to stop the Beast Tide.
The Soul Beasts behind Qiu Er didn't need her to give orders. They roared and rushed into the city, and a slaughter began. The scene was extremely tragic for a time. Many low-level Soul Master soldiers were crushed by the surging Beast Tide, and some were buried in the mouths of beasts on the spot.
Star Luo City's destruction was only a matter of time. Next, it would depend on when Meng Shenji led the Heaven Dou troops to Star Luo City to take over.
Inside the Crown Prince Residence in the core area, Davis was pacing anxiously in the main hall, while Zhu Zhuyun's expression was also very gloomy. The roars of Soul Beasts that occasionally reached their ears made them panic.
"Zhuyun, how did the Soul Beasts break through the city gates? Now my Star Luo..."
Davis didn't finish his words, but the meaning was already quite clear.
Zhu Zhuyun also expressed great incomprehension about this. In theory, it shouldn't be a problem to gather the strength of the whole country to resist a mere Beast Tide. At this time, she was very envious of her sister Zhu Zhuqing's experiences. The status she had worked so hard to pursue would probably turn into a bubble in this Beast Tide, completely becoming a joke. Her sister not only gained freedom, but also had endless growth in strength, free as a bird in the sky from now on.
But now it was too late to think about all this. They could only huddle in this Crown Prince Residence and couldn't do anything.
"I don't know either. I hope Father and the others can successfully resist the Beast Tide."
Just as the two were uneasy, a Black Shadow appeared in front of them.
"Crown Prince and Crown Princess, please leave Star Luo City through the west gate as soon as possible."
"What? Has it reached this point?"
Davis looked extremely panicked. He had already recognized the speaker as the personal guard beside his father. The fact that the other party appeared here to notify them to leave meant that Star Luo had reached the critical point of collapse and could be destroyed at any time.
"Yes, Crown Prince. The situation is urgent. Don't delay any longer. Hurry up and leave with this humble servant."
"No, no, what about Father? Isn't he leaving with us? I... I..."
Davis seemed a little at a loss, not knowing whether he should leave or go to the front line to fight the Beast Tide with his father.
The guard obviously understood Davis's hesitation and issued Dai Tianyu's order.
"His Majesty and the Empress have decided to fight to the death. Star Luo has no emperors who run away. What the Crown Prince needs to do is to leave a spark for the Star Luo Royal Family. This is an order, and the Crown Prince must execute it."
"This..."
Seeing that Davis was still struggling, Zhu Zhuyun hurriedly stepped forward and held his hand.
"Davis, let's leave first. Where there's life, there's hope. Let's go to Spirit Cat City to find my father and wait for the Beast Tide to dissipate. It's useless for you to stay here."
Zhu Zhuyun's words finally moved him. Davis gritted his teeth and nodded in a deep voice.
"Let's go, to Spirit Cat City."
The guard breathed a sigh of relief. If Davis refused, he would have to use force.
The three quickly left the Crown Prince Residence and flew out of the royal capital through the west gate of Star Luo City, heading towards Spirit Cat City.
The Beast Tide raged in Star Luo City for three days before slowly dissipating. The generation of Emperor Dai Tianyu and his wife also used the Spirit Fusion Skill Blood Battle to the end. Just this point made Ning Bei feel that the other party was stronger than Xue Ye, Xue Beng and the like. Those two would never be able to do this.
The once prosperous Star Luo Imperial Capital was now in ruins, with rubble everywhere and some mentally deranged survivors. Ning Bei had already used Danxiang to lead the Beast Tide out of Star Luo City and returned to the Star Dou Great Forest from the east.
Ma Rulong also led the pharmacy staff to start organizing rescue operations.
