Chapter 497: An empty city cannot be left for fierce beasts to occupy at will! The third day!

"What? Captain Su wants to defend the city alone? Why?"

The landlady and her husband were both stunned!

They could not fathom at all why Su Yang would do such a thing.

Since he had already planned to abandon Wanyang City, why defend it?

"There is no 'why'!" Liu Liu Mengyun stepped onto the stairs and said without looking back, "If you don't leave, you'll bear the consequences!"

"What should we do?" the landlady asked in a low voice.

"Of course, our lives are what matter; hurry up and pack your things to leave!"

The members of the emergency squad inside the inn were packing their gear.

Liu Liu Mengyun opened her room with a key, quickly checked everything inside, and even rummaged through the drawers and wardrobe to ensure she had taken everything Su Yang had left behind before leaving the room.

Arriving at the East City Gate, Liu Liu Mengyun discovered that tens of thousands of civilians were crowded together.

The city gate was too small, and most civilians were carrying large and small bags of belongings!

At this rate of evacuation, Liu Liu Mengyun felt that even by nightfall, the civilians would not have finished evacuating.

"Can the speed be increased?"

Liu Liu Mengyun asked Tan Shulong, who was beside her.

Tan Shulong said helplessly, "There's no way; there are too many people!"

Liu Liu Mengyun glanced at the city gate and ordered, "Clear a flat area for me!"

"Understood!"

Tan Shulong had no questions about Liu Liu Mengyun's order.

He respected Liu Liu Mengyun very much to begin with.

As long as her orders were not excessive, he would accept them.

The civilians queuing to leave the city nearby were cleared away, and with a wave of Liu Liu Mengyun's hand, a massive Earth Dragon Beast appeared before everyone.

As soon as it appeared, it directly crushed several buildings.

The civilians let out a cry of alarm, terrified, and quickly moved away.

Among Platinum-rank fierce beasts, the Earth Dragon Beast was famous for its thick skin and massive physique.

"Ram through it!"

Liu Liu Mengyun pointed at the city wall!

Tan Shulong suddenly understood.

He slapped his forehead: "Why didn't I think of that?"

The Earth Dragon Beast gathered a bit of momentum and rammed directly into the wall of Wanyang City.

The wall of Wanyang City was indeed sturdy, but for a Platinum-rank pet beast, ramming through it was a piece of cake!

With a "Boom—", a large hole was rammed into the city wall by the Earth Dragon Beast!

The quality of Wanyang City's wall was good; even though a large hole had been rammed into it, it did not collapse directly.

The large hole rammed out by the Earth Dragon Beast was fully ten times wider than the city gate!

Liu Liu Mengyun reached out and solidified the edges of the large hole with ice crystals to reinforce it!

After having the Earth Dragon Beast ram out seven more large holes in succession, Liu Liu Mengyun said to Tan Shulong, "Now, accelerate the evacuation speed!"

"Understood!"

With the seven large holes opened by Liu Liu Mengyun, the speed at which civilians evacuated Wanyang City increased by at least tenfold!

Wanyang City, near the collapsed West City Wall.

Su Yang sat alone on a rattan chair, bathing in the 4:30 PM sunlight.

Beneath his feet and all around him were the corpses of countless fierce beasts.

A light breeze blew by, bringing some coolness and fresh air.

Su Yang opened his eyes, looked at the distant sky, and whispered, "Why do I feel a bit lonely?"

Just as he finished speaking, a blood-red vine gently wrapped around his hand.

"Hmm!"

Su Yang smiled; luckily, I still have you all.

Not long after, Su Yang opened his eyes again.

"Why are you here?"

Yu Hao said, "Captain Su, everything is ready; the personnel have all been arranged to leave the city and have begun to transfer!"

"That's good!"

Hao Ren asked, "Captain, are you not coming with us?"

"I'll bring up the rear, and incidentally, let that Beast King taste the might of our Southwestern Military Department. Even if it's an empty city, I don't want to let it occupy it!" Su Yang waved his hand, "Rest assured, if I really need to run, I'll definitely be faster than you!"

Hao Ren said, "Then our 14th Emergency Squad will stay with the Captain!"

"No, you take the members of the 14th Emergency Squad to escort those civilians!"

The number of civilians is too large; it's easy for them to be targeted by powerful fierce beasts.

After two arduous battles, the strength of Tan Shulong and Yu Hao had dropped significantly, and even the pet beast troops had suffered heavy losses.

It would be better for the 14th Emergency Squad, along with Hao Ren and the others, to protect the tens of thousands of people from Wanyang City as they evacuate.

Hao Ren took a deep breath and said, "Then Captain, take care!"

Hao Ren knew that once Su Yang made up his mind, it was impossible to change it.

At least he didn't have that ability!

"Hmm!"

Since Hao Ren couldn't persuade him, Yu Hao and Tan Shulong both felt there was no need for them to speak up.

The three pet beast masters left on flying fierce beasts. Less than a minute after they flew off, Hao Ren, Yu Hao, and Tan Shulong turned their heads and saw that Liu Liu Mengyun was still standing by Su Yang's side.

They looked at each other, said nothing more, and left directly.

"Why are you still here?"

"I want to stay and help you!"

"Go!"

"Right now, I should be able to be of help, shouldn't I? You helped me cultivate the Ice Moon Elf and the Nether Phantom Cat; wasn't it to deal with this kind of situation?"
