Chapter 90 – Princess Consort and Fourth Prince

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

Wen Yu and the other three exchanged glances before following Walhi into the inner room.

The four individuals who had been called out were all Sequences!

As soon as Wen Yu entered, he spotted a beautiful woman standing in the room.

With silver hair and emerald eyes, she looked like an elf straight out of a movie. Standing nearly 1.8 meters tall, her long legs were faintly visible beneath her white dress, making it hard for anyone to resist swallowing hard.

With a second glance, Wen Yu noticed the swaddling cloth in her arms.

From within the bundle came the intermittent sound of a baby's crying.

Before he could observe anything else, Wen Yu's line of sight was abruptly blocked by Walhi's massive, muscular frame!

"Smack."

A large hand slapped Wen Yu heavily on the forehead. Faced with Walhi's overwhelming strength, Wen Yu felt his vision go dark for a moment.

"Soldier! Where do you think you're looking? This is the noble Princess Consort of our Silver Moon Clan! If it weren't for the military emergency, you wouldn't even be allowed to look at her!"

"Damn it!"

Wen Yu cursed bitterly in his heart.

That slap was completely unearned! Wen Yu could swear he definitely wasn't ogling the Princess Consort's long legs!

Seeing Wen Yu suffer, Chu Ziling, who was standing behind him, burst into heartless laughter.

"Smack."

Another crisp slapping sound rang out.

Unfortunately, Chu Ziling didn't possess Wen Yu's high Physical Attribute. He fell flat on his backside, dazed and unable to recover for quite a while.

"That's enough, Walhi. Are these the brave warriors you've recruited?"

A clear, melodious voice rang out. The sound, as beautiful as a nightingale's song, made Wen Yu's heart tremble. He couldn't help but turn his gaze back toward the Princess Consort.

Fortunately, Walhi didn't catch Wen Yu's subtle movement this time.

"Yes, my Lady."

Hearing the Princess Consort speak, Walhi immediately turned and bowed, answering with the utmost respect.

"Very well. Then I shall leave it to Lord Walhi to explain the operation. I will wait for these warriors in the tunnel. We set out at nightfall."

The Princess Consort nodded to the four men and walked straight out through a small door behind her.

"Alright, everyone."

The moment the Princess Consort left, Walhi instantly regained his arrogant and domineering demeanor.

"I will give you a brief introduction to this mission."

"Actually, let's start with the current situation of the Silver Moon Clan."

As soon as he said those words, the expression on Walhi's face changed instantly. Like a robot, he began to recite the current situation in a flat tone.

Wen Yu's heart skipped a beat. He realized that it was no longer Walhi speaking, but the Treasure Land Guardian.

"The Silver Moon Holy City has held out for twenty-seven years during the Demon Disaster. It has now reached its final stage."

"The Silver Moon Clan has ultimately failed to defeat the Demon Race. As of yesterday, the battle in the upper realms has been decided."

"The Silver Moon Clan's Sequence 1 has fallen in battle. Sequence 2 and Sequence 3 are facing over thirty Level 10 Ancient Demons alone; they have no chance of victory."

"To preserve the final embers of the Silver Moon Clan, you have been entrusted with a glorious mission."

"Protect the Princess Consort and the Fourth Prince as they travel to a location ten days' journey to the east."

"The Ruler has established a sanctuary there."

"This is your Ultimate Trial Mission!"

Wen Yu swallowed hard.

"Do you understand?"

The moment the speech ended, Walhi reverted to his officer persona and shouted at the group.

"Understood!" the men replied in unison.

"Very well. You are responsible for informing the group outside of the mission details. I will return in three hours to take you to the assembly point!"

Having finished, Walhi walked straight out, leaving Wen Yu and the other three looking at one another.

"Heh, this Guardian is certainly blunt. 'This is your ultimate Trial mission!' No shit, I could've figured that out myself!" Chu Ziling shouted indignantly as soon as Walhi stepped out the door.

It seemed the man harbored a deep resentment over the slap he had received for no reason earlier.

"I think it's better that he just said it. Saves us the trouble of guessing," Wen Yu remarked.

"So, do you have a plan?" William asked the others.

Wen Yu answered immediately, "What plan could there be? It's an escort mission. If a god stands in our way, we kill the god; if a Buddha stands in our way, we kill the Buddha. If we can't kill them, we die. What else is there to plan?"

William seemed to give Wen Yu's suggestion serious thought before nodding decisively.

"You're right. In that case, I'll go out and organize the rest of the people."

With that, William turned and walked out of the room.

"Let's head out and find a place to rest for a bit too," Wen Yu said, heading for the exit.

"Wait."

It was Chu Ziling who spoke.

"This time… I want to cooperate with you."

Seeing Chu Ziling open his mouth with such hesitation, Wen Yu let out a scoff.

"You need to understand that right now, it's not a matter of who follows whom. We all have to follow that so-called Princess Consort. If she moves, we move. If she stops, we stop. Everyone is in this together."

Wen Yu paused, then added, "So now you realize I'm the one carrying this team?"

Without waiting for a response to Chu Ziling's embarrassed expression, Wen Yu walked straight out of the room.

Outside, William was explaining the mission to the others.

Seeing Wen Yu and his group emerge, Big Bear, Monkey, and Sun Aotian immediately moved toward Wen Yu's position.

Behind them, Jiang Wentao was explaining the details of the escort mission to several others, while Wen Yu narrowed his eyes, carefully recalling the Treasure Land Guardian's words.

"A shelter established by the Ruler? If this is all just a plot written for the Trial, that's one thing. But if all of this actually happened… then what kind of role does the so-called Ruler play in the Apocalypse?"

"Also, judging by the Treasure Land Guardian's appearance, Shimmer Blue Star clearly has a significant connection to them. What exactly are these Treasure Land Guardians?"

These were things Wen Yu couldn't have accessed in his previous life. But now, as he came into contact with more and more information, the truth behind Earth's Apocalypse became increasingly confusing.

"The Blood Moon, the Demon Realm Gates, the Demon Race, the Exchange Pillars, the Ruler, the Treasure Land Guardians…"

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

With Walhi's arrival, the discussions ended, and everyone stood up.

"Follow me!"

Walhi spoke and headed straight outside.

Wen Yu and the others followed closely behind.

They followed Walhi through a maze of twisted alleys and soon arrived in front of a dilapidated private residence.

Walhi walked straight in and stopped in a room that looked like a warehouse.

"Go inside. The Princess Consort and the Fourth Prince are in there. Once you leave the city, protect them well."

Walhi paused for a beat.

"I hope you can survive!"
