Chapter 2272 2265: Good Advice Can't Persuade a Damned Ghost

"What a beautiful city, it's a pity it will soon be gone," Zhang Menglong appeared at the entrance of a prosperous city, which was the capital of a nation called the Loulan Holy State.

This Loulan Holy State was a very powerful country, with as many as 23 Dominator-level experts openly present. Its land area was seven times that of the Divine Holy State, and the economic strength and military power of the two countries were not even on the same level.

The city's population was not large, even compared with ordinary kingdoms' capitals, it's considered very few. This is because the entire city's resources are considered top-notch across the Continent, and those who reside here are either wealthy or noble, with the elite class often in the minority.

The city's population was just about 200 million, and besides the residents, anyone entering the capital had to pay an entry fee, charged based on days.

According to the deductions made by Xiao Lin, there were about seven days left before the Warcraft possessed by the ancient human soul reached this city, and actually, they still had quite a bit of time left.

Ancient humans were not interested in the souls of ordinary people, even devouring many would have little effect on their power restoration, so their target was the Transcenders in this city.

In a population of 200 million, the ratio of Martial Artists exceeded 70%, and those above Transcender-level even exceeded 10% of the total population. It's evident that the city's strength is indeed formidable.

But once that Warcraft attacks, Zhang Menglong can almost foresee the result to be not just the deaths of Martial Artists, but including ordinary people in the city who will have a hard time avoiding it, after all, there's a saying that when the gods fight, mortals suffer.

With 23 Dominators, over 20 million Transcenders above, the city couldn't possibly be completely powerless facing this Warcraft, yet once a fight erupts, this city would become ruins and debris, almost impossible to leave any intact buildings.

"Ah! Still too soft-hearted!" Zhang Menglong sighed, he couldn't stand by and watch more than 180 million people become wraiths in this war, so he still wanted to do something.

Zhang Menglong sought an audience with the Emperor of Loulan Holy State as a Prince of the Divine Holy State, but after he informed the Emperor about this matter, the Emperor seemed not to take it too seriously.

Zhang Menglong's suggestion was actually quite simple, relocating ordinary residents to safe places for refuge, trying not to let Martial Artists at Transcender and Realm Breaker levels participate in combat, while 23 Dominator-level experts could join forces, though unable to kill the Warcraft, they might have a chance to resist a bit.

But the best option was still to abandon the entire city because Zhang Menglong found it hard to imagine how terrifying a Warcraft with an ancient human soul would be when reaching Dominator-level, perhaps even 23 Dominators would just be delivering themselves.

Yet unexpectedly, the Emperor just sneered and rejected his suggestion.

To him, although both were Holy Kingdoms, there was over a tenfold disparity in national strength. Their Divine Holy State couldn't handle it, but it didn't mean Loulan Holy State would be helpless too.

Moreover, relocating such a vast population would greatly impact the normal order of this city, and could even affect the economy to some extent in the short term.

Besides, what Zhang Menglong said had no basis at all, merely his speculation, whether the so-called Warcraft even existed was still unknown, even if it did exist, it might not really come to attack their city!

The Emperor happened to also see the information Zhang Menglong released on the Global News but paid it no mind, merely considering Zhang Menglong as making a mountain out of a molehill.

The entire Continent was now practically an iron plate, his words were simply propagating an apocalypse message in this era, it was ludicrous for someone to recognize it.

"A good word hard to persuade a damned ghost!" Zhang Menglong sighed, he did his part in warning, but others' disbelief left him with no choice, all he could do was what he had done.

Of course, Zhang Menglong didn't just stop there, a decision made by a brainless Emperor shouldn't let innocent people take the blame.

For seven consecutive days, Zhang Menglong posted reminders through various high-traffic platforms in the city, advising people to prepare enough supplies and find a safe place to hide in seven days.

Zhang Menglong believed most people wouldn't believe him, yet there would always be those few who do, helping even one person would be worth it!

Seven days swiftly passed by, Zhang Menglong donned his invisibility cloak and ascended to the top of the tallest building in the city, and then started a live broadcast.

After investing a lot of resources, Zhang Menglong's livestream was also recommended to the hottest spot on the entire platform.

The title of the livestream was very simple:

"Ancient Humans' Apocalypse Warning!"

When the broadcast began, countless people showed up in the livestream room.

"Saw it on the homepage, asking what this stream is about?"

"Ancient Humans? I know, it's that lunatic spreading apocalypse theories on Global News, and he's actually started a livestream?"

"What's this supposed to mean? Showing us the city's night view?"

As overwhelming comments flooded the screen, most were curses and skepticism, but many were also filled with curiosity.

Taking over this hot list, how much resources does this cost? Would any lunatic truly expend so many resources just to spread panic?

"Hello everyone, I am the one who posted on Global News," Zhang Menglong's voice echoed in the livestream room, "I know many of you are cursing me, doubting me, but I just want to say, I don't care, because soon you will witness the terror of the ancient humans."

"A Warcraft possessed by ancient human soul shards will attack this city in an hour, destroying it tonight!"

Zhang Menglong only uttered two sentences before falling silent again.

"This city, seems to be the capital of Loulan Holy State, right?"

"Isn't this the city I'm in? Eating melons on oneself?"

"Laughing, streamer, do you know how many Dominators are in this city? Over twenty! More than a million Realm Breakers, 20 million Transcenders, what kind of Warcraft do you believe can destroy such a city?"

"So exciting? I've never seen a Dominator battle!"

"Everyone should disperse, this city's defense system is designed to repel Martial Artists of Dominator-level, even a Dominator-level expert would struggle to break through, the Warcraft mentioned might not even enter the city!"

"Also, the city's hot weapon system is powerful enough to kill a third-tier Dominator, that power is guaranteed."

"Is that so? Then it's indeed not interesting."

"Let's watch anyway, it won't take much time, I'm curious to see how embarrassed the streamer will be."

The number of viewers in the livestream room not only didn't decrease but even grew larger, though most were not genuinely interested in seeing the so-called Warcraft possessed by ancient human soul shards, but in witnessing Zhang Menglong's embarrassment.

"Awoo!"

With a sharp screech tearing through the night sky, the comments in the livestream room almost exploded.

"There really is a Warcraft coming!"

"Oh darn! High energy ahead!"
