Chapter 465 Ten Thousand People
Wang Lang improved his eyesight to the extreme. He looked around and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
He soon confirmed that the entire Chang'an city was just as he had just seen, crowded everywhere.
"Daffodil, rise a little higher. I want to see what's going on in the distance."
Upon hearing Wang Lang's order, Narcissus immediately rose higher and soon flew to a height of 200 meters.
At this time, Wang Lang's gaze had already passed the towering city wall and was looking at the situation outside Chang'an City.
At just one glance, he discovered that the area outside Chang'an City was also crowded with people.
There were densely packed tents outside the city, and people sitting around the tents were eating breakfast.
The setting up of the tents was obviously planned, with each area clearly divided.
At this time, there were many fully armed soldiers patrolling in various areas.
Wang Lang looked in the four directions of east, south, west and north, and found that the situation was the same everywhere. There were densely packed tents and people everywhere.
"There are too many people. The entire 1000 square kilometers are densely packed with people. Could it be that all the people in the entire Tang Dynasty are now inside this temporary defense formation?"
"Although an area of 1,000 square kilometers is not particularly large, if we squeeze in as much as possible, it can still accommodate more than 30 million people."
After a slight pause, Wang Lang continued to mutter.
"Now that the temporary defense formation has been activated, it means that the demon beasts have definitely begun to invade the Tang Dynasty in large numbers. If everyone in the Tang Dynasty is now in this defense formation, it would be a great thing."
"The fifteen settlements of the Tang Dynasty are more or less far apart from each other. It is definitely not an easy task to move all the people to Chang'an City, and it is absolutely impossible to do it in a short period of time. Could it be that the Queen has discovered the signs of a massive invasion of monsters early on and moved everyone to Chang'an City in advance?"
"It's also a bit strange that there are no monsters attacking the barrier shield right now. If the monsters have already invaded the Tang Dynasty in large numbers, then there must be more or less monsters rushing to the vicinity of Chang'an City to attack the barrier shield."
"It's impossible that everyone has moved to the inside and outside of Chang'an City, and those monsters haven't caught up yet, right?"
"Oh, forget it. There's no point in thinking so much, and I can't figure it out. It's better to find the queen's wife as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished muttering this, Wang Lang started shouting at Narcissus.
"Shui Xian, speed up. Let's fly to the palace at full speed."
roar roar...
Narcissus roared in response while accelerating, and soon reached his maximum speed.
The distance of several kilometers was crossed in the blink of an eye. Narcissus carried Wang Lang to the sky above the palace, and then descended rapidly and plunged into the palace.
Soon, Wang Lang met Empress Li Jia in the Daming Palace.
Seeing his queen wife was seriously injured again, Wang Lang was heartbroken. But he also knew what he should do most at this time.
After hugging Queen Li Jia, Wang Lang asked directly.
"What's going on, Queen, have the monsters started invading in large numbers? What's the situation now?"
Queen Li Jia answered directly.
"It's not a full-scale invasion yet, but it's close enough."
"Ok?"
Queen Li Jia’s answer made Wang Lang a little confused.
At this time, Queen Li Jia continued speaking.
"About five or six days after you left last time, the speed at which the fog boundary moved outward continued to accelerate. In a day, it would move outward at least two or three kilometers, and sometimes as much as five or six kilometers."
"It was from that time that more and more magical beasts entered our Tang Dynasty. Almost every day, there were about 200,000 to 300,000 or even 400,000 to 500,000 magical beasts. Although most of these magical beasts were ordinary magical beasts and hundred-year-old magical beasts, their numbers were simply too large."
"In the first few days, all the border defense groups suffered heavy losses. However, after the distribution of the ten thousand year old beasts you brought last time, the overall war situation has been greatly alleviated. At that time, I had no intention of relocating the people until I saw the lizardmen you mentioned."
Hearing this, Wang Lang immediately exclaimed.
"The Lizardmen have appeared. Have you seen them?"
"Yes, I saw them and killed some of them. My current injuries are caused by those lizardmen."
After a slight pause, Queen Li Jia continued speaking.
"Those lizardmen have human bodies and snake heads. They are dark green all over, with dark green scales all over their heads and bodies. They have a long tail, which is also covered with dense dark green scales."
"Those lizardmen can walk and run upright, or they can put their hands and feet on the ground and run very fast on the ground."
"They are extremely intelligent, not inferior to humans at all, and their combat capabilities are also very strong. The lizardmen I fought with were all around the ten thousand year level."
"The most terrifying thing is that those lizardmen can control a large number of magic beasts. When I first fought against those lizardmen, they were controlling a large number of magic beasts to attack the concentrated cities. It was at that time that I decided to move all the people of the Tang Dynasty to the vicinity of Chang'an City."
At this time, Wang Lang discovered that Queen Li Jia's tears were falling like pearls from a broken string.
"What's wrong, Queen wife? Don't cry, please?"
As he spoke, Wang Lang communicated with the Shennong Ding space and took out a tissue.
It was at this time that Queen Li Jia spoke again in a crying voice.
"I should have made up my mind earlier. If I had, 967,800 people wouldn't have died at the hands of those lizardmen and monsters."
"Ah, nearly a million people?"
Wang Lang exclaimed, but as soon as he said it, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
So he quickly spoke again.
"So many people died at the hands of lizardmen and monsters. I feel extremely sad. But my queen wife, you have to understand that this is not your fault. The fault lies with those lizardmen and monsters."
"It's no use blaming yourself right now. We need to look forward and find a way to avenge those millions of people. We need to kill all the lizardmen and monsters, so that the other 30 million people in the Tang Dynasty can survive."
"Yes, I know. I understand the responsibility on my shoulders."
After a slight pause, Queen Li Jia continued speaking.
"As people were relocated from various cities, the border of the fog was rapidly moving outward. A large number of magical beasts entered the Tang Dynasty, and a lot of lizardmen also entered. It was fine in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages, the large migrating troops would often be attacked by lizardmen and magical beasts."
"Even though a large number of soldiers were deployed for protection, so many soldiers and civilians still died in the end."
As she spoke, Queen Li Jia became extremely sad again, and tears flowed down her face once again.
