Worldwide Simulation Era

"Report!"

Before the ministers could calm down, a voice came from outside the hall again.

"Heavenly Star City is being invaded! The City Lord died in battle!"

"Three counties in the western region have been captured. None of the soldiers survived!"

"Shangyuan City is under attack! Request for reinforcements!"

...

The bad news came one after another, and the hall was in chaos.

"We're finished! This is the end of the world!"

"It can't be defended. It can't be defended at all!"

"Let's seek help from the Shang Empire!"

All the ministers were flustered, and some even began to plan to escape from this country.

"Everyone, calm down!"

The Queen shouted angrily when she saw the hall going out of control.

A powerful pressure swept across the place, causing everyone to quieten down.

"Today is the moment of life and death for our country. As the pillars of the country, you are not thinking of ways to deal with the crisis but are as timid as mice. You have really lost the face of our country!"

"Men! Lock down the hall!"

"No one is allowed to leave as long as the demons don't retreat!"

"Those who disobey will be beheaded!"

Following the Queen's order, a large group of powerful imperial army soldiers immediately poured into the hall.

The ministers were terrified.

They knew the Queen wanted them to live and die with Country Xu!

If they couldn't defend the foundation, they were destined to be trapped in the imperial city.

In this way, as long as they wanted to live, they had to think of a way to solve the current crisis.

"What should we do?"

"Ask for help. We can't stop those demons with our strength."

"Yes, now that ten cities have been conquered and six Immortal Realm City Lords have died in battle, it's impossible for us to survive on our own!"

The ministers didn't dare to go against the Queen. They could only scratch their heads and start discussing countermeasures.

However, the demons came in full force, and the threat level had already exceeded the limits of what Country Xu could bear.

In the end, they concluded that they could only ask for help from other countries.

"Your Majesty, let's ask for help from the other three empires. This is the only way we can go!"

It was not an easy task to ask for help from another country. Regardless of success or failure, they would have to pay a large sum of money.

And it was not the most important thing.

The Queen looked at the ministers and felt bitter in her heart.

It wasn't that she didn't want to ask for help, but she couldn't.

It wasn't just Country Xu being invaded by demons. The other three empires were also busy with their affairs.

It was just that the situation was slightly better than their side.

"Don't even think about asking for help. Just take out your hidden trump cards and face it together."

From the beginning, the Queen didn't expect the ministers to come up with solutions. She merely wanted to force them to bring out all the assets they had secretly collected and raised.

Many high-ranking officials used their positions to train their private armies.

They thought they had hidden it well, but they didn't know that the Queen had already seen everything. It was just that the interests involved were too great, so she didn't deal with it.

Now that Country Xu was in trouble, the Queen couldn't care less. She ordered everyone to use all their assets to fight against the demons.

"Your Majesty is wise. This old man has been incorruptible all his life and has no..."

"Grand Commandant Guo, that Mad Butcher you recruited ten years ago is still in your residence, right? He has eaten so much of your offerings. Isn't it just right to let him contribute now?"

A white-bearded minister was about to say something, but the Queen cut him off mercilessly.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the ministers, her eyes full of solemnity.

"I don't care what you've done in the past nor how many private armies you've recruited. I only have one thing to say now. Either you take your family's assets and fight to the death with me to protect the country, or I'll cut you down right here and now!"

These words were full of killing intent, and the ministers didn't doubt that the Queen would hesitate.

If it was during normal times, the Queen might still be apprehensive for the people's sake.

But now, the entire country faced the threat of life and death. The country was about to fall. How could the Queen still have so many scruples?

"Your Majesty, we swear to defend every inch of our land!"

"I'll immediately send a message to the sect's consecrators and be at Your Majesty's disposal!"

The ministers knew there was no way out, so they all showed their loyalty.

"Good. Make a list of all your sinecures and report it to me. This time, I'll personally lead an army to fight. After we've quelled the evil, I'll reward you accordingly!"

"Yes!"

The ministers listed the experts they had recruited and reported to the Queen.

The weakest on the list was an Embodier Realm expert, and more than tens of thousands of people were on the list.

Among them, 6,000 were in the Embodier Realm, 4,000 were in the Incarnation Realm, and 68 were in the Human Immortal Realm.

It was a gathering of almost all the rogue cultivators in Country Xu.

"Your Majesty."

The Queen was looking at the name list when an elderly minister stood out and said respectfully.

"What's the matter, Prime Minister?"

The Queen was respectful to the old man.

"Your Majesty, according to the battle reports, no less than a hundred Immortal Realm demons are invading our country! The strongest among them is probably on par with you."

As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately fell silent.

That's right. It was something everyone had thought of, but no one dared to say it out loud.

The enemy's strength was too despairing.

The Queen was aware, but they had no way out now. What else could they do other than fight to the death?

"What the Prime Minister said is true, but our country also has a strong foundation. It's not difficult to gather 100 Celestials. When I gather the army and defeat them one by one, the crisis will be resolved!"
