Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 645 Guardian

Although they paid a heavy price, they managed to save Qingyan City and repel the demons.

With the victory in battle, the people of Qingyan City cheered, knowing that from now on, Qingyan City would no longer have to worry about the threat of the demon race.

During this process, many soldiers of Qingyan City were killed, including some experts.

The news of these masters' deaths enraged the people of Qingyan City, as the city needed more experts to protect it.

Without skilled fighters, Qingyan City will be in danger.

This incident caused a sensation throughout Qingyan City, but these experts could not return.

The common people, however, did not care about these things; their eyes were only on their own property.

Xu Yao was sitting on a tree trunk, eating something.

Suddenly hearing a commotion in the distance, Xu Yao frowned and looked into the distance.

A massive number of demons were charging towards Qingyan City.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yao's expression changed, and he quickly left the spot. He had to return to the army immediately to stop these demons.

At the same time, all the high-ranking officials in Qingyan City gathered in the council hall.

"Gentlemen, according to the scouts, the demons are attacking the city. What should we do?"

Lin Hai stepped forward and asked the crowd.

"The demons will definitely attack the city, but why would they choose this time to attack?"

"Does the demon race intend to take this opportunity to annex our Qingyan City?"

Discussions arose one after another, but no one offered a solution.

"I think we should send a large number of cavalry to Bluestone Valley to resist the demons."

"As long as we stall for time and wait for reinforcements to arrive, everything will be fine," an old man said.

“I agree with Lord Li, but the Blue Stone Valley is an important passage.”

“If the demons occupy this place, their army can rush straight through the Blue Stone Valley,” another old man said.

"Hmph, do you mean we should hand over the entire Qingyan City?" the old man who made the earlier suggestion said with a cold snort.

"That's not what I meant. I just think we should send cavalry to resist the demons. As for the Blue Stone Valley, I think we should leave it to the new recruits."

"You're trying to use this opportunity to train them, aren't you? Don't forget they're new recruits."

"If we send them to the Blue Stone Valley, I'm afraid they'll be wiped out in less than half a month."

Xu Yao sat quietly in his chair, listening to everyone's arguments. At this moment, Xu Yao stood up.

"I have a suggestion. Now that the demon army has attacked, I think we should contact the armies of several nearby cities to fight against the demons together."

Xu Yao's words eased the atmosphere in the council hall considerably.

At this moment, the city lord of Qingyan City stood up and said, "Since everyone agrees with Young Master Xu's suggestion, I think we can try to contact nearby cities and request support."

"In that case, let's get started."

Xu Yao then left the council hall, preparing to search for nearby towns.

As Xu Yao walked along, he discovered that the city was very prosperous, with a constant stream of cars and people on the streets.

"The security here is really good."

Xu Yao exclaimed that he found the order here to be outrageously good, just like a modern city.

This surprised Xu Yao greatly, because in his memory, Qingyan City was a very chaotic city.

However, he quickly came to terms with it, after all, this was a city of war.

The flames of war have burned for a thousand years, and the people in the city have long been accustomed to the life of war.

So during the period when the war was over, they adapted to modern life and even began to follow fashion.

Xu Yao was strolling down the street when he suddenly saw a group of people arguing ahead.

These people wore black robes with a green vine emblem embroidered on their chests.

"Envoy of Qing Teng City, we of Qing Yan City are willing to help you fight against the demons," Xu Yao said, looking at the person in front of him.

"Oh? Who are you?" The leading man looked up at Xu Yao and asked.

"I am Xu Yao, the commander of this campaign. We have obtained evidence of the Demon Clan's attack on Qingyan City," Xu Yao said calmly.

"Haha, you have indeed obtained evidence, but so what?" the envoy from Qing Teng City said with a loud laugh.

"Our Green Vine City is a vassal state of His Majesty the Demon King. His Majesty the Demon King is powerful, and even your human empire would not dare to provoke us easily."

"That's what the envoy from Qing Teng City said arrogantly."

Xu Yao nodded upon hearing this. Instead of refuting, he asked, "So what is your purpose?"

"Our goal is to retake Qingyan City. We, Qingteng City, have failed for far too long."

“We need a major victory to consolidate our position in the human empire,” said the envoy from Green Vine City.

"If that's the case, then you shouldn't have attacked Qingyan City, because the strength of your Qing Teng City is simply insufficient to withstand the demon race's offensive."

Xu Yao shook his head and continued, "If you lose this time, your Qing Teng City will be completely destroyed."

"What did you say?" the envoy from Qing Teng City glared at Xu Yao and said.

"I'm stating the facts. There's still a week before the demons launch their final offensive."

"Our Qingyan City is no longer able to resist the demons' attack, so you must evacuate the city quickly."

Xu Yao's words were not merely stating a fact, but also a warning to them.

"By what right do you order us to evacuate this city?" the envoy from Qing Teng City said angrily.

"Because I am the commander here, and I am the only fourth-rank martial artist, this time we are going to deal with the demons."

"I hope you will obey my orders, otherwise we will suffer great losses," Xu Yao said.

"You think I'll listen to you? There are so few people left in Qingyan City. Even if I agreed, what difference would it make?"

The envoy from Qing Teng City spoke disdainfully.

"Can you guys stop talking nonsense and let's run away?"

"Yeah, if the demons break through here, we'll be in big trouble."

Xu Yao's words drew opposition from some of the soldiers around him.

"Can you all be quiet for a second? Can't you see that there are more and more demon soldiers on the city wall?"

"What we need to do now is to gather reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise we'll all be doomed once those demon soldiers arrive."

The city lord of Qingyan City stood up and roared at everyone, who immediately shut up.

They knew that the city lord of Qingyan City was right; the most important thing now was to quickly gather reinforcements, as this was the only way to protect Qingyan City.

But how can we find reinforcements?

"We don't know how to find reinforcements. This place is basically empty except for the soldiers from Qingyan City," Xu Yao said bitterly.
