I'm Sorry!

Although he kept saying he worshipped the Great Beast, when he actually saw Great Beast appear before him in human form, he was the first to feel fear and unease...

How could Great Beast be...?

The man was utterly puzzled, and he instinctively looked at Maria beside him.

Didn't you despise Great Beast? Didn't you attack us, the Shanhai Assembly?

There's a Great Beast here... You'd better fight it!

Men, when they're desperate, will try anything.

He was completely unaware that Maria was traveling with the Great Beast; was Maria... truly just an ordinary person?

"..."

The scarlet eyes swayed slowly in the darkness, and the calm gaze instantly chilled the man's heart.

A sense of despair slowly welled up in his heart.

Two outsiders from out of town?

No!

Everyone was fooled! Everyone was wrong!

These two guys... these two guys are definitely not human!

They are Great Beast in human skin!

I've been scammed...

They've fooled everyone!

Anxiety pounded in the man's heart, and his already excited nerves and blood began to fight each other.

The blood made their breathing increasingly rapid and heavy.

Under the watchful eyes of the two women, he suddenly rolled the whites of his eyes.

She fainted...

"Huh?!"

Seeing the other person suddenly bang their head on the ground, Sui was also somewhat flustered.

She hurriedly got up, looking at Maria with some fear.

"Um... I didn't do anything, he just passed out on his own... I didn't do anything."

At such a young age, she was like a little girl who had broken someone else's toy—a bit conflicted and reserved.

But Maria shook her head.

"All cowards are like this."

As she spoke, she silently expanded into her own domain.

Just moments later, she had finished plundering the other person's memories, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"What's wrong?"

The age is a bit strange.

But Maria hesitated for a few seconds before shaking her head slightly.

"The Great Beast will attack tonight."

"Hmm? Tonight?"

Sui was stunned.

She then expanded her senses.

But this time, she wasn't just sensing the city.

She tiptoed slightly, trying her best to extend her senses to a wider area.

Her adorable actions combined with her beautiful appearance were a feast for the eyes... Of course, such actions were actually meaningless for her to expand her senses; she just subconsciously wanted to do it.

As this perception spread, the girl's eyes slowly narrowed.

"Indeed... it's not far outside the city, we'll arrive tonight."

Thinking of this, Sui frowned slightly.

"That won't do."

She's already given the humans a boost, but the city's equipment still isn't ready.

If they suddenly launch an attack, the human side will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Although I knew long ago that humanity was destined to fail, at least I had invested in helping them, so shouldn't I wait until all the equipment was ready before engaging in battle?

"I'll go talk to that guy and see if I can delay his move."

He opened his mouth, his head shaking slightly.

Before Maria could say anything more, she saw Sui transform into a streak of fire and fly away into the distance in an instant.

Before long, the patrolling guards arrived in a hurry after being informed by others.

"Miss... this is...?"

The leader of the guards didn't seem to know Maria well, but when he saw the group of unconscious people around him, he realized that this was probably Maria's doing, and his expression tightened slightly.

Maria turned her head and calmly glanced at the man.

"These people... belong to the Shanhai Assembly."

"Um?!"

"They tried to attack me, but were repelled..."

As Maria spoke, she stood up again and looked around.

After a moment of silence, she walked down the stairs again and silently looked at the man in front of her.

A moment later, she also asked a question.

"You know about the coming Great Beast... right?"

"Yes."

The guards ordered the others to take these Shanhai Assembly into custody. After hearing Maria's question, they hesitated for a moment, but still nodded slightly.

"You're asking this because..."

"What would you do if the Great Beast really attacked?"

"..."

The guard didn't speak; he simply looked at Maria in front of him.

Upon seeing Maria's expressionless face, he seemed to realize something, and almost instantly straightened his back, gritting his teeth.

"I don't know, but... this is my home!"

"..."

Maria was silent for a few moments, then nodded slightly. "That's enough."

"Um?"

"Take me to see your city lord."

Maria shook her head. "I have news to tell him."

303

Chapter 303 I'm sorry!

News of the impending attack of the Great Beast swept through the city like a storm.

The already anxious crowd was even more astonished and bewildered after receiving the official announcement.

Almost instantly, chaos began to spread.

But at this point, Li Zhenfang's accumulated reputation began to take effect.

Maria could almost clearly see people spontaneously forming groups within the crowd. They began to organize the crowd purposefully, suppressing those who tried to profit from the chaos and handing them over to the guards who arrived later.

After a brief period of chaos, the city surprisingly began to purposefully enter a phase of self-regulation.

The crowd began to move towards the eastern part of the city, while the guards assembled towards the western city wall.

Everyone started doing what they were supposed to do.

In the distance, the mountains began to tremble...

"Hey, at least it's starting to behave a little."

Back beside Maria, Sui wiped the sweat from his brow and grinned.

And when they saw the city in operation, their eyes widened slightly.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"I told them that the Great Beast was about to attack..."

Maria turned her head and looked at Sui beside her.

Seeing that she still had a playful expression on her face, he didn't say anything more.

She remained the same at that age, filled with a contemptuous disdain for humanity... This wasn't a problem with the girl herself, but rather her life experiences had instilled in her such thoughts.

But Maria also believed that this idea was short-lived.

"Did you tell them, so you're retreating?"

The boy tilted his head, looking at the crowd with some confusion.

"But what's the point of retreating? They can't get very far. It's better to stay and fight it to the death."

"They are vulnerable."

"But didn't you say that humans are capable of defeating Great Beast?"

"Humans certainly have the ability to defeat Great Beast..."

"So these people are running away, right?"

He spoke, his calm voice tinged with curiosity.

Human strength is undoubtedly inferior when facing Great Beast.

In this situation, the only way to win that Sui could think of was for everyone to equip themselves with their best weapons and then charge forward one after another to pile up.

They used all their lives to try and kill the Great Beast.

Of course, the population of just this one city is probably not enough... that's why she thinks humanity will definitely fail this time.

Now, more and more people have chosen to flee, which makes Sui even more convinced that humans cannot defeat the Great Beast.

But Maria remained confident...

Even though she trusted Maria, she still had to doubt whether Maria was serious.

Under such circumstances, is it really possible for humanity to defeat the Great Beast?

"Of course, age."

Maria turned her head and looked at the girl.

You will see.

"Um?"

There's something else I want to say at this age.

But in the distance, a sudden tornado rose up, attracting the attention of everyone present.

When Sui saw it, his eyes widened, and then he frowned.

"Was that guy... lying to me?!"
