Zhao Congnan and Ma San pushed out a heavy round black iron plate from the warehouse.

"I don't know why, but this city's array has disappeared, but fortunately we have a backup array."

"Yes, it must be put together immediately."

The two of them started working as they talked.

"Is it too late?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"The demons outside the city are coming soon. There are a group in the east and a group in the south. They will arrive at the city gate in about ten minutes," the woman said.

Wu Xiaode looked at her and asked expressionlessly: "What is your name?"

——As an NPC, it should be normal to ask someone like this.

"Cai Jing." the woman said.

"Okay, Caijing, you go outside the city -"

Before Wu Xiaode finished speaking, he suddenly looked up.

The woman named Caijing also raised her head and looked at the sky.

I saw a stream of light flash across the blue sky, fall down at an extremely fast speed, and stop in front of everyone.

——But it was a man wearing a gorgeous red robe, with an expression full of violence.

He scanned the crowd and glanced at Cai Jing but did not recognize her.

Too.

This woman has completely restrained her aura and found a set of light scout armor to put on. She looks like a person from this world.

"Answer me or you will all die - do you see a man wearing the same clothes as me?"

The man asked in a deep voice.

Wu Xiaode glanced at his clothes, and after briefly sensing the aura on his body, he understood.

These are people from the Council of Destruction.

He must have lost contact with Elian, so he made a special trip to see him.

Wu Xiaode secretly glanced at the woman named Caijing, and saw a flash of confusion on her face.

——After she immobilized Elian, she didn’t see the scene of herself killing Elian.

At the moment, she doesn't know the whereabouts of Elian.

"Answer my words, or you will all die." The man in red robe said.

Everyone looked at Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode took a step forward and said in a hoarse voice: "We don't know who you are looking for, but this is the last hope of the human race. Are you willing to come and defend the city?"

The man was obviously moved.

He stared into the void, the violence on his face gradually turned into surprise, and whispered:

"The reward is——the awakening skill of Daoli?"

Wu Xiaode thought and added another item to the task.

The entire task text is presented as:

"Demon Suppression Mission:"

"Assist the demon-suppressing general in defending the city."

"Reward: Human Emperor Dao Power Cultivation Method."

"If the city is destroyed, the mission will fail."

"If the mission fails, you will be kicked out of the Secret Realm of the Human Emperor and will not be able to re-enter within a year!"

——In fact, Wu Xiaode wanted to set the penalty for mission failure to "obliterate".

However, according to the role of the "commander", the person who takes the task cannot be killed. The most you can do is kick the person out.

If "commander" really has that effect, it can be regarded as a kind of "end".

——But this is barely enough.

The man in red robe was immediately moved.

Obtaining Taoist power is what everyone dreams of.

"Okay, I can act together with you, but none of you can come in my way or order me," he said.

"Okay." Wu Xiaode said hoarsely.

Seeing that he answered seriously, the man accepted the task.

There was a display immediately in front of Wu Xiaode:

"The other party has accepted the current task."

This will be easier to handle.

Wu Xiaode strode to the city wall, stretched out his hand, and punched.

Wow!

A brick on the city wall was broken into two pieces by him.

He stretched out two fingers, dug out half of the brick, and held it in his hand.

"General, what are you doing?" Zhao Congnan asked anxiously.

"Old Zhao, don't be nervous."

Wu Xiaode said in a low tone, walked back slowly, stood in front of the man in red robe, and showed him the broken half brick.

"What do you mean?" The man in red robe was confused.

"This is a brick on the city wall, and now it is broken." Wu Xiaode said hoarsely.

The man in red robe was stunned.

The woman named Caijing was also stunned on the spot and couldn't help but look at Wu Xiaode.

——No, can it still be like this?

The next moment, the man in red robe saw a few lines of small words appearing in front of him:

"The city is broken and the mission failed."

"Punishment takes effect!"

"Exit the Human Emperor's Secret Realm immediately, and you will not be allowed to enter within a year!"

A wave of space appeared on the man in red robe.

"Asshole, I remember this-"

The man in red robe turned into a stream of light and disappeared with a "whoosh" before he finished his curse.

The world returns to quiet.

Wu Xiaode couldn't help but sigh.

Do you remember me?

I'm wearing a visor and armor all over my body. You don't even know what I look like. When I spoke just now, I deliberately lowered my voice.

Now you say you remember me?

Only a ghost can believe it!

"This man is too arrogant. He said openly that he would not obey military orders, so he is not suitable to act with us."

Wu Xiaode said in a normal voice.

Zhao Congnan, Ma San and even the woman looked at him with expressions of deep impression.

"Then - my mission is also to defend the city - I -"

Caijing said hesitantly.

If the city is destroyed, won't my mission also fail?

Of course Wu Xiaode would not let her fail in her mission. After all, she was such a powerful fighter. Whether she could defend the city later would depend on her efforts.

"for you."

Wu Xiaode handed the half brick to Caijing.

"This is--"

"Put it back on the wall."

"...Well, I've never seen such a defensive city."

Caijing sighed, walked over, put the brick back into the crack, and put it together with the other half of the brick.
