Chapter 218: Who's Coming?

Blocked by the tree wall summoned by the third-order mutant ability "Serve Me as the Lord", the outer city finally got a chance to breathe under the desperate situation of the orc siege, and people hurried to escape from the outer city, and in the blink of an eye, the forbidden place was crowded.

The first group of people to leave the city had already arrived at the gate of the inner city, and the deafening sound of the door woke up the sleeping inner city defenders, and the captain hurried to the lookout of the city wall in his coat, and was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he almost sat down on the ground.

"W-What?! Where did these people come from?!"

The defenders turned on the large searchlights, and the refugees under the city walls hurriedly raised their hands to cover themselves in the strong light, and their appearance was even more embarrassed.

It was only then that the lookout of the city defenders was woken up from his drunken state, and from a distance, he found a huge monster hovering in the sky in the outer city.

The lookout was so frightened that he fell straight from the tower, rushed to the captain's feet, and pointed to the outer city, "No, it's not good! The outer city has been breached by orcs!"

Like thunder from the sky, the captain's legs weakened when he heard the sound, grabbed the collar of the lookout, and said in a trembling voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Really! It's true! The people from the outer city are flocking to the gates!"

Before the words could be spoken, a large number of refugees crossed the dense woods of the forbidden place, holding torches and appeared under the walls of the inner city.

"Open the door! Let's go inside!"

The tall and sturdy steel-cast city gate was slammed by a large number of refugees, and the refugees, covered in mud and blood, raised their heads like ants in a deep pit looking up at the humans standing tall, and shouted with all their might: "Please! Let's go inside!"

The captain was so angry and anxious that he snatched the microphone with his hand, and leaned down on the city wall and shouted, "Who allowed you to cross the forbidden land casually?! Go back now! Otherwise, we're going to use weapons!"

The outer city behind him had already fallen, and no one would listen to him, and the refugees were excited, raising their arms and shouting, "Let us in!" We are also the people of the Ninth Star! Why don't you let us in?!"

The captain of the garrison had come down, and he wiped his head and paced back and forth on the city walls, lest the noise outside the city alarm the nobles of the inner city.

Although they all live in the inner city, they are still divided into three, six, nine and so on, and these members of the city defense team are the lowest class, only because the outer city has been safe and sound for the past twenty years, they have been able to idle for so many years, and now the good days are over.

A man in uniform squeezed out of the crowd below, he turned around and waved his hand to everyone to signal silence, then turned back, looked up and said, "I am a member of the outer city patrol, as you can see, the outer city has fallen, I ask the inner city to open its gates to accept refugees."

The captain snorted and asked, "How old are you?" Why should I listen to you?!"

He had long known that it was impossible to open the city gate in the inner city, and it was only because he listened to Shu Yungui's words that he gave it a try, and at this time, he was choked by the captain of the city guarding team, and the young patrolman's momentum weakened instantly, and he hesitated to retreat, but his back was suddenly blocked by a big hand.

He turned his head blankly, but saw Shu Yungui coming in steps, stretched out his hand and firmly stopped him in place, raised his head and said sharply, "You don't listen to us, but listen to all the people in the outer city!"

The captain frowned, "The people of the outer city? What's wrong with the people of the outer city?! Don't you know what the crime of crossing the forbidden place without permission is?!"

"Can emergency evacuation also be called a private action?"

Shu Yungui didn't give an inch: "It's not up to you to decide whether there is a crime or not, opening the city gate to accept refugees from the outer city is the only thing you should do now, otherwise the next one to be besieged by orcs should be the inner city!"

Unmoved, the captain insisted, "You are from the outer city, do you understand? The people of the outer city should live in the outer city, and if the outer city is gone, you can go to the wilderness to seek refuge instead of coming to the inner city to shout!"

"Who is also a citizen of the Ninth Star, who was born to be from the outer city? Who was born to be an inner city?!"

Shu Yungui rebuked loudly: "Who told you that you can treat the lives of the people in the outer city as nothing! You let him out!"

The captain was dumbfounded

Cornelies squeezed out of the crowd, held up her Inner City Pass, and said loudly: "I am Corneerys Lauren, and I order you as a royal family in the Inner City, and immediately open the city gates to receive refugees!"

"Lauren? Royal?!"

The captain of the garrison snatched the binoculars from the lookout's hand, looked down, and saw that the blonde woman was indeed holding an inner city pass in her hand.

"If you are really from the Laurenol family, how can you not know that the Inner City Pass has been changed, and this kind of thing in your hand has long been eliminated."

The captain groaned, "Looks like you're an impostor, right?"

"How is that possible?!"

Cornelys looked at the cast-iron pass in her hand and said incredulously, "When did you change your style?" How did I not know?! Don't you try to lie to me! Open the door!"

"Hey! What am I lying to you for? The Inner City Pass has long since changed, you impostor can see it clearly with your eyes wide open!"

He took out his pass and waved it, the city wall was too high, Cornelys couldn't see what the new pass looked like at all, but it was said to be an imposter in public, making her face red and white, and she could only explain to Shu Yungui in a whisper.

"I...... I'm really not a liar......

Shu Yungui nodded and comforted softly, "It's okay, don't worry."

He pulled Cornelies, who was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes, behind him, and raised his head again and shouted, "You should go and ask your superiors, not question the authenticity of the pass here."

The captain said mercilessly, "What I say is fake is fake! There is no way for the inner city to be degraded and mingled with the untouchables of the outer city!"

He snapped, "If there is, then from the moment she comes into contact with the untouchables of the outer city, she has already lost her inner city identity!"

Shu Yungui's fists clenched suddenly, and he asked rhetorically, "Who do you say is a pariah?!" Is it true that in the eyes of you inner city people, there is no need for the outer city people to live at all?!"

The refugees in the outer city had just suffered a catastrophe, and they were turned away by the only refuge in the inner city, and the fear in their hearts slowly intensified into endless anger, and they were even more stirred by Shu Yungui's words, and someone immediately picked up the stone and threw it at the gate of the inner city.

Like a wildfire blown by the wind, the refugees rose up in droves, copied everything they could use, attacked the city gate like crazy, and even some people with good hands and feet began to climb the city wall with their bare hands.

The captain of the garrison team was so frightened that his teeth were chattering, and he pointed down and shouted, "Quick! Shoot! Kill all the untouchables down there!"

The musketeers stepped forward, their guns pointed at the unarmed men beneath the high walls.

"Bang bangโ€”"

In the deafening sound of gunfire, Shu Yungui raised his hand to evoke the wind shield above everyone's heads, and the bullet hit the wind shield and was ejected, and soon the city wall was full of bullet holes.

The people in the outer city who didn't know Shu Yungui's true identity only thought that he was the savior sent by the gods, and under the protection of the wind shield, they attacked the city gate even harder, and with their unremitting efforts, there was really a gap in the solid city gate.

The guards at the city gate desperately twisted the door rope, and the captain stumbled down from the city wall, stretched out a finger from the gap, pointed at Shu Yungui and said, "You! What the hell do you want to do?"

Shu Yungui stood behind the crowd and said without moving: "I said, open the city gate and accept the refugees!"

"You want to be beautiful!"

The captain was furious, took out his pistol and fired several shots at him along the crack in the door, his marksmanship was not bad, and he was able to pass through the crowd and shoot accurately at Shu Yungui.

However, Shu Yungui still didn't move, not even the expression on his face changed, the bullet whistled, and the arc-shaped warhead was already close in front of him, and it was about to pierce his pupils in the next moment!

At the last moment, the magnificent blue light suddenly exploded, and all the bullets returned at the same time, the first one pierced the barrel of the pistol, and the second shot shattered the captain's finger.

A terrible howl was drowned out by the shouts of the angry crowd, and the captain, who was covering his bloody fingers, was immediately dragged down, and soon a man in a gorgeous dress hurriedly appeared at the city gate.

It was a man with distinctly Western looks, and he saluted Corneelis through the crack in the door, and said softly, "You're finally back, your mother has fallen ill from overly worrying."

"What?! My mother is sick?!"

Cornelys rushed to the city gate and asked urgently, "Pate! You make it clear! What is wrong with my mother?!"

"Wouldn't you know if you went and met her yourself?"

The short, curly-haired brown man known as Pate said, "There are many dangers outside the inner city, so you must not go out alone in the future."

He motioned to the city guards, "Open the door and let Her Highness Corneerys in."

"What about them?"

Corneerys took a half-step back and insisted, "These out-of-town refugees must come in with me!"

"I don't have the right to let them in."

Pate's tone was respectful, but not negotiable: "Your status is noble, you don't need to worry about the lives of those ants in the outer city, please hurry up and enter the city, and follow me to visit your mother, knowing that when you return, her illness will definitely be cured soon."

With her seriously ill mother on one side and the lives of countless refugees on the other, Corneelis hesitated, the inner city gates opened a little wider, and Pate reached out to grab her arm.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Shu Yungui stepped forward and pulled Cornelies over.

"Who are you?" Pate looked at Shu Yungui coldly, pressed down the corners of his eyes, and said coldly: "Untouchables are not worthy of touching the royal family, let go of your hand immediately, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried!"

"I should ask you that!"

Shu Yungui was not afraid, and asked rhetorically, "Who are you?"

Pate held his head high and replied, "I am an official of the royal family, and His Royal Highness Corneerys knows me."

"I didn't ask about your official position."

Shu Yungui asked, "I'm asking, are you from Fern Lauren, or are you from the Coexistence faction?"
