Demon Siege

As for Blanche, although she was a great beauty, but...

They just crippled Heidi, and now they're crippling Blanche too?

Wouldn't he then have to experience the combined bombardment from these two teachers and students?

Blanche is already a handful, let alone Heidi. Adding her to the mix would be a recipe for disaster...

Besides, he's not the kind of person who has no bottom line, how could he do such a thing?

So, after taking Zhao Manyan's card, he headed straight to the bar.

Wherever Young Master Zhao goes, a membership card is always a must.

Just as Tang Miao arrived at the bar and was about to have a drink, a sudden commotion erupted outside...

Tang Miao curiously lifted the curtain and glanced outside. He saw... below, Egyptians were running frantically in a panic, while in the sky, Crimson Alert had been activated?

Upon seeing this, Tang Miao immediately realized what was going on...

It must have been the Great Scorpion Queen!

He had heard that this thing was very vengeful, but he really didn't expect it to show up so soon, only a day later.

Drinking was out of the question, since the appearance of the Great Scorpion Queen meant the arrival of a massive Demon Beast tribe...

Upon arriving at the city wall outside New Suzhou City, Tang Miao saw countless Scorpion Demon below, at least ten times more than before...

As for the billowing smoke and dust behind them, no one knows how many Demon Beast remain. Although not as numerous as the undead that once lurked beneath the Ancient Capital, it is still a grand spectacle.

The army in New Suzhou City, though not small in number—after all, this is a battlefield—is nothing compared to the Demon Beast below, like a ditch compared to a raging river...

After looking around, Tang Miao couldn't find the Great Scorpion Queen. Clearly, the Great Monarch's intelligence was still intact.

Even if they're here for revenge, they won't easily reveal themselves...

Today he finally understood why people generally don't want to provoke Demon Beast of the Commander Level or Monarch Level; provoking them would mean facing a true army of thousands!

Moreover, their species reproduces and multiplies extremely quickly. Even if large numbers of Demon Beast die on the way to the siege, so what?

Once the city falls, the demons will be victorious!

With this warning, they will be even more untouchable next time.

I've never encountered this situation before, but today I experienced it firsthand.

"What on earth is going on? What happened?! How can there be so many Scorpion Demons?!" An Egyptian officer on the city wall shouted in bewilderment.

"..."

However, he wasn't speaking an international language, so Tang Miao had no idea what the other person was saying. After glancing at him a few times, he left.

Of course, he wasn't running away; he was going to find Zhao Manyan and the others. In such a chaotic situation, the first thing to do was naturally to find one's companions.

If everyone gets separated, and someone dies, then he would be considered an indirect killer.

After all, if he hadn't killed the Lesser Scorpion Queen, how could the Great Scorpion Queen have been attracted?

When he arrived at his lodgings, Blanche, Heidi, Zhao Manyan, and others were already there. Mo Fan, however, was not present...

"As expected, wherever we go with you is disaster!" Zhao Manyan said, looking at the Crimson Alert, his face filled with despair.

The previous provocations were directed at the commander-in-chief, the monarch... but at least those were individual actions!

This time, they actually encountered tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of Demon Beast attacking the city... Zhao Manyan felt like he had lost his mind. Why did he have to follow them all over the world!

"Stop complaining. It's just a siege by Demon Beast. Actually, as long as we can deal with the Great Scorpion Queen, the problem won't be so big," Tang Miao said nonchalantly.

"Big brother... you said it yourself, the Great Scorpion Queen! She's Great Monarch! You don't really think we can stand against Great Monarch, do you?" Zhao Manyan said somewhat timidly.

"Even if they could kill the opponent, a monarch usually wouldn't show themselves easily," Mu Bai interjected at this moment.

Heidi was terrified at the thought of those densely packed things. Without realizing it, she moved closer to Tang Miao, and without caring about the occasion, hugged his waist and nestled against him, saying, "Please don't take the risk, okay?"

Tang Miao nodded, looking at her young lover, and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't intervene unless absolutely necessary."

"Hmm~"

Heidi responded.

Everyone looked towards Heidi and Tang Miao...

Although she and Tang Miao had been flirting on the plane, weren't they still somewhat reserved then? Why are they acting like this now?

Heidi, who's not usually so aloof, looks so petite and delicate. Zhao Manyan is almost crying with envy...

Moreover, with his extensive experience, if he couldn't see that the relationship between the two was not pure, and that Heidi had changed, then he might as well give up his job.

However, Zhao Manyan truly couldn't believe it; was this real?

She was such a cocky girl when we met...

"Mo Fan?" While Zhao Manyan was feeling sad, Mu Bai suddenly realized that someone was missing and asked.

His words made everyone realize that someone had been missing all along.

Blanche seemed to have thought of something, and said with a hint of helplessness, "I think... I know where he went..."

When Blanche spoke, Zhao Manyan was stunned, and Heidi, in Tang Miao's arms, also paused... because no one knew where Mo Fan was, yet this old nun knew?!

The two of them instinctively felt that their relationship... seemed more than just casual?

Seeing the two men suddenly staring blankly at her, Blanche was a little confused. Why were they both looking at her?

"Because of his help at the Alps Academy, I gave him a Summoning Ring. If I'm not mistaken, he's probably off to kill monsters again..." Blanche explained to the group without thinking too much about it.

"I see..." X2.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Manyan and Heidi immediately lost interest.

However, he's not here right now, and Demon Beast still roam the outside world, which is somewhat worrying.

"Don't worry, that kid's got a lot of luck, he won't die. Let's go to the south wall. I think if he's leaving the city, he'll be coming from the south," Tang Miao said.

None of them objected, and besides, the south was indeed a place where small groups of Scorpion Demon frequently attacked.

Even Heidi, who suffers from trypophobia, followed along heading south. She couldn't help it; although she was scared, she felt safer with Tang Miao by her side.

Otherwise, once that side falls and the demons enter the city, what good will it do her, even if she's quite powerful?

Unable to cast even Intermediate Magic, and unsure if she could even cast Beginner Magic, she was likely doomed.
