Chapter 240: Want to leave? Then let them leave!

The cold voice wasn't loud, but everyone present heard it clearly.

Lu Ziyue was even more startled.

The voice... was too close.

She hurriedly turned her head and soon saw... Qin Feng holding a petite girl in his arms.

Lu Ziyue was stunned.

This man... when did he get behind her?

If she had turned her head any harder... she suspected their faces would have been pressed together.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she took a step back. Soon, her gaze was attracted by the girl in Qin Feng’s arms.

Perhaps because she was being held by Qin Feng, the girl’s cheeks were very red, but she wore a smile that was exceptionally comforting.

Everyone felt a sense of astonishment in their hearts, as if... they had suddenly felt the warmth of spring in the cold winter.

Intense motherly radiance!

A temperament that shouldn't have appeared, yet it appeared on the face of a petite girl.

Qin Feng’s deep eyes stared at Lu Ziyue, asking again: "Answer me, is it worth it?"

"……"

Lu Ziyue’s expression was firm and solemn.

Qin Feng’s pitch-black, deep eyes were faintly tinged with anger; she didn't know the reason, but what she insisted on in her heart would not be shaken by it.

She pondered slightly and said:

"My talent is mediocre; having the achievements I have today is entirely due to ten thousand times the effort—"

"If I can trade it for the chance for others to survive, why not try it?"

"And besides, I am a lord of the Dragon Kingdom! Behind me are the cities where everyone lives; how can there be any reason to retreat?"

"I—uh!"

"……"

Before Lu Ziyue could finish speaking, Qin Feng had already grabbed her collar.

Her body was already slender, and in front of Qin Feng, she was lifted up like a little chick.

Qin Feng stared fixedly at the girl’s ink-black eyes, which were filled with unyielding stubbornness.

A few seconds later.

Qin Feng let out a long breath and slowly put her down.

These words... were too familiar.

Or rather, most of Qin Feng’s values in his past life were influenced by her.

Being a lord, one must naturally guard the peace of one side!

But what was the result?

Suddenly, a small, warm hand like jade landed on Qin Feng’s head.

"Alright, good child, everything is in the past."

"……"

Such a strange scene, yet no one present felt any disharmony.

The tyrannical emotions in Qin Feng’s heart slowly calmed down.

He smiled bitterly; ever since meeting Lu Ziyue, his emotions had become increasingly unstable.

And Lu Ziyue... was also secretly shocked in her heart.

Damn it!!

She looked at the several finger indentations on her chest armor.

She was a warrior, so she naturally wore armor.

But... the Gold-grade armor had actually been crushed by him casually?!

The durability had dropped significantly, no different from being scrapped.

And Qin Feng looked around at the students and said: "Those who want to leave, roll away yourselves!"

"……"

As the words fell.

All the students were stunned, intimidated by Qin Feng’s terrifying aura.

But soon, many students snorted.

"Heh, roll away? Do you even deserve to say that?"

"Latest intelligence, the front line has completely collapsed, our Dragon Kingdom’s quadrillions of troops have been completely surrounded! The other side has dispatched a Tier 10 lord! There are even gods taking action!"

"Do you really think you’re invincible just because you have the protection of the Water Goddess?"

"……"

In the students’ impression, Qin Feng was still just a lucky person who had obtained the protection of the Water Goddess.

And hearing this intelligence, the students all opened their mouths in shock.

Quadrillions of troops... and they were defeated just like that?!

They felt deep fear in their hearts.

For decades, the dark army hadn't made any major moves, leading many to forget the cruelty of the war back then.

And at this moment, a black mass of troops appeared in the sky.

Humanity’s good friend—the Griffin.

They were about two meters in size, with sturdy bodies and sharp talons; an adult Griffin could carry up to 3 people in flight.

Three minutes later.

Countless students had already taken to the sky on Griffins.

They were all cheering incessantly.

Finally saved!

Under the command of the Li family student, the Griffins flew toward the south.

Because they were full of students, their flight speed was much slower than when they came, but fortunately, they were flying steadily.

Just at this moment.

Suddenly.

Countless terrifying pitch-black troops flew over rapidly from the northern horizon.

"Roar—!"

An eerie dragon roar resounded through the sky.

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and cast a Scout spell over.

[Death Flying Bat (Super unit)]

……

The students all widened their eyes.

"Damn it!! It’s a flying unit?! When did the dark army have flying units?!"

"Super unit?!! Help!!"

"Wdnmd!!!"

"Senior Sister, help!!"

"……"

Griffins... were only Tier 5 intermediate units.

Whether in strength or flight speed, they were completely crushed by the Tier 10 Death Flying Bats.

The students naturally wailed.

Each one was anxious.

And then...

There was no way at all; they could only watch helplessly as countless pitch-black bats flew over.

In an instant, countless blood-red mists formed in the air.

The Death Flying Bats opened their bloody mouths, instantly tearing the students and the Griffins into countless fragments.

Desperate screams continued.

……

On the ground.

All the students who stayed behind were pale, and even Lu Ziyue had no blood left in her face.

Flying units were already rare, and these were super units; when did the dark army become so terrifying?!

Two minutes passed.

The screams in the sky finally stopped.

The black mass of Griffins had been eaten down to the bones.

Some of the students in the territory were so scared they had wet their pants.

Flying units were inherently foul-play existences—they could bypass city walls.

If they came to attack the territory, how could they survive?!

The students hadn't even thought it through carefully.

Countless pitch-black Death Flying Bats were already rushing toward the territory.

All the students were pale.

And then.

Rumble!!

Rumble!!

Rumble!!

Scorching pillars of fire instantly filled the entire sky.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but flames.

Countless shrill screams came, and the Death Flying Bats that had been aggressive just a moment ago were instantly burned to slag.

Everyone was stunned.

They looked at Qin Feng, who was blowing on his staff nonchalantly, their expressions blank.

Damn it!!
