A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 553 Our Leader Invites You to Meet (2)

Shen Tang looked around at everyone present, who were the core of the power of the entire continent.

She took in the expressions on every face, then slowly began to speak, "Today, I want to tell you all a secret. A problem that I'm sure everyone is extremely curious about, and that we all want to solve together."

As soon as he finished speaking, the murmurs in the room immediately subsided.

All the orcs present turned to look at the female on the stage.

She was radiant and refined, her unhurried voice carrying an indescribable power that compelled them to listen intently to every word she was about to say.

Shen Tang turned on the optical computer projection.

Inside were all the evidence and facts about the contaminated site, the agents, and the aliens that Lu Xiao had compiled for her.

Now the time is ripe, and it's time to bring all of this into the open.

"Our continent has long been targeted by a group of aliens who have plotted countless schemes to conquer this land. The contaminated site is the result of their illegal laboratories and the release of viruses there."

"And those orcs with symbolic markings on their bodies are 'agents' sent by the aliens. Their mission from birth is to infiltrate orc society and carry out the aliens' orders."

“These agents look no different from any of us. The Queen of Rosenia is an agent planted in the court; she instigated the Emperor to release the Root-Eating Worms, intending to destroy our only hope against the contaminated land: the Purifying Tree.”

“If these truths were revealed, they might cause panic. I wanted to proceed gradually, which is why I established the ‘Dawn Alliance’ to seek partners who are truly willing to join hands in fighting the alien invasion.”

"But now it seems that the Purification Tree has also plunged them into great panic. They are trying to destroy this continent at any cost, and we alone may not be able to stop their next move. Therefore, I implore more people to lend a helping hand."

"The agents have already infiltrated every one of us; there may even be spies planted among you. I sincerely invite you all to join the Dawn Alliance. Only by uniting can we resist the alien invasion and prevent that apocalyptic future from arriving!"

The female's clear and firm voice resounded throughout the silent hall.

The air seemed to freeze; you could hear a pin drop.

A storm raged in everyone's heart, and for a moment they even forgot to breathe.

This information was truly shocking to them.

Even Lu Xiao and his group were shocked, let alone the other orcs.

After a brief silence, thunderous discussions erupted at the scene.

"So that's how it is! No wonder Rosenia's national strength has increased by leaps and bounds in recent years, and it has been opposing the Night Glow Empire at every turn... To do such a despicable thing, trying to destroy the purifying tree species, is simply a sinner for all time!"

"There are actually aliens in this world besides us... It's incredible."

"The contaminated site was created by these shameless scoundrels! We must not let them succeed!"

Shen Tang has presented the evidence clearly to everyone.

Although a small number of people in the crowd still had doubts, the majority were outraged and chose to believe her.

Other countries and forces, however, appeared hesitant and indecisive.

Many of them had strained relations with the Nightfall Empire, either due to border clashes or trade disputes. Even if they believed her, they dared not rashly join the alliance, as that would mean their national destinies were intertwined, their actions would be constrained, and they could not be certain whether Nightfall would truly be loyal to them.

Shen Tang noticed their concerns and continued, "I sincerely invite you all to join the Dawn Alliance!"

"As long as everyone sincerely joins us and works together, everything from the past can be forgiven."

"From this day forward, we will fight for only one goal: to save this continent!"

The Beast World is the homeland where everyone has lived for generations.

Despite their differing thoughts, every orc harbors a deep attachment to the land they depend on for survival, and they deeply abhor the ever-spreading pollution and the ever-watchful alien invaders.

A group of people immediately stepped forward and announced their joining the Dawn Alliance.

Many others did not immediately express their opinions, as joining the alliance was no small matter and required national discussion. However, their stance was clear: they indicated they would return home as soon as possible to discuss the matter, and it was believed that good news would arrive soon.

Shen Tang gained a lot of support through this joint meeting.

A genuine smile appeared on her face, and she believed that through everyone's efforts, this continent would eventually usher in a bright future.

However, at this exciting moment, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the army. A group of imposters ripped off their uniforms, revealing black clothing printed with blood-red skulls. They were clearly the rebels!

After tearing off their disguises, they quickly drew their blades and weapons and surrounded the orcs present.

This international conference was under tight security, and no one expected that the rebels would be able to lay an ambush, which shows how deep their influence is and how they have already infiltrated various countries!
The room was filled with high-ranking political figures from various countries, including several monarchs, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely panicked!
Shen Tang's face also showed astonishment, and her face turned pale. She did not expect the rebels to be so rampant, daring to directly attack an international conference!
Xue Yinzhou and the others quickly shielded her behind them, their bodies radiating a chilling aura that seemed to freeze the very air.

A young man with short, reddish-brown hair stepped out from the crowd, clapped his hands, and chuckled, saying with a cheerful smile, "The monarch of the Night Glow Empire is truly young and promising, well said!"

He had a handsome appearance, but his whole body exuded a sinister aura, the lingering ferocity of someone whose hands were stained with blood, which could not be concealed no matter how he disguised himself.

Therefore, the smile on his face appeared particularly fake.

Xiao Jin immediately rushed out, intending to capture him.

North was grabbed by the neck and forced to the ground.

As a tenth-tier orc, if Xiao Jin had punched him in the face, he would have been either dead or disfigured.

Norsten immediately lost his composure and hurriedly explained, "Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive! We didn't come here to start a war! I genuinely admire Lord Nightbright's words and have come sincerely to discuss cooperation!"

That makes some sense. If the rebels had truly come for the fighting, the scene would have been a bloodbath long ago when their identities were exposed.

At this moment, the two armies were on the verge of war, but had not actually started fighting, as if they were being held back by an invisible force.

That power naturally comes from the orders from above.

The discussion among the crowd intensified, for everyone knew that the rebels were infamous and that countless orcs had died at their hands.

All the major nations have a blood feud with the rebels. Cooperation? Absolutely not! They only want to kill their enemies and avenge themselves!
Shen Tang and her beast husbands also frowned; they did not believe that the rebels would be a friendly and peaceful force.

Even if Shen Tang knew the secrets of the vampire clan back then, it was only Necro's side of the story, and the truth remained unclear.

It is an indisputable fact that Necro and his rebel army massacred countless innocent civilians.

She has absolutely no right to forgive the dead orcs.

They certainly wouldn't believe that these executioners' remorse was genuine!
Seeing Xiao Jin's fist about to land, North covered his face in fright, no longer daring to keep them in suspense, and said urgently, "We came here this time to ask for the Purification Tree Seed!"

Xiao Jin's fist stopped abruptly in mid-air, just half an inch away from his face.

so close!

Upon hearing this, Shen Tang's brows relaxed slightly.

So that's why the rebels came; that makes sense.

Seeing that her attitude had softened, North quickly pressed his advantage, "We rebels know that we have committed grave sins in the past and are difficult to forgive, but this time, we have come here sincerely to ask for help."

He looked intently at Shen Tang and continued, "Our leader wishes to meet with you!"

Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat.

Lu Xiao and the others frowned even more deeply.

Xiao Jin's fist swung out again, landing heavily on his face. "You're dreaming!"

The orcs present were even more surprised and uncertain, and they discussed it among themselves.

The rebels are utterly wicked and their crimes are heinous. How can we talk about cooperation based on a few words from them?

This is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger!

Absolutely unbelievable!

North's face was swollen on one side, his nose was crooked, and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth.

He coughed violently a few times, his mouth filled with a metallic stench, yet he still stubbornly argued, "Didn't the King of Nightbright himself say that all beastmen in the world are welcome to join the Dawn Alliance? As long as they sincerely join, all past transgressions will be forgiven!"

“I have come here on the orders of the chief.”

Upon hearing this, the orcs gasped in horror. The legendary mysterious leader of the rebel army was said to possess unfathomable strength. He was the one who single-handedly transformed the rebel army into the top evil force on this continent, becoming a nightmare and a malignant tumor in the hearts of the major empires!
North continued, "The leader has heard about the Purification Tree and is very interested in it, so he specially sent me here to discuss cooperation with the Night Glow Empire."

He looked up, across the crowd, at the beautiful figure on the platform, and said slowly and deliberately, "The leader wishes to see you in person."

Shen Tang's expression changed slightly, and cold sweat seeped from her palms. She had thought that she and Necro had long since severed all ties and would never meet again, but she never expected this to happen.

She is no longer the same as Xiao Cuihua, and has severed the bond between them with the scissors of fate. Necro will no longer be affected by the system items. She does not believe that he can recognize her, nor does she believe that he will have any more love for her.

But it would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous; what if something unexpected happened?

She didn't want to take any unexpected risks.

Shen Tang naturally did not want to meet and discuss with Necro. She could have found many reasons to refuse, but she did not expect that this general was so clever that he used this reason to block her!
These were her own words, and there was no way to refuse them; otherwise, it would be like slapping oneself in the face in public and losing credibility.

Shen Tang was panicking inside, but remained calm on the surface and said, "Since your leader is so sincere, then please ask him to come see me in person."

The rebels invaded multiple countries, committing countless massacres, and Necro, as their leader, was the target of widespread condemnation. Even with his immense power, he had never publicly revealed himself over the years, demonstrating his cautious nature and making it unlikely he would so easily expose his identity.

Shen Tang was betting that Necro would not come in person.

But to her utter surprise, the next second, a deep, magnetic voice filled the air.

"Thank you for the invitation, King Yehui. I will gladly accept."

Shen Tang was shocked!

Countless blood lines appeared in the air, intertwining and condensing into a tall and slender human figure.

The man had deep, handsome features, with skin as pale as paper and lips as red as blood. His long, narrow black eyes were alluring and unfathomable, and upon closer inspection, a swirling crimson rippled deep within his pupils.

The powerful aura emanating from him made the orcs present instinctively feel oppressed and a deep fear welled up in their hearts!
Shen Tang's face turned pale, and her hands, hanging at her sides, unconsciously tightened, her nails almost digging into her palms.

That bastard actually came!

Lu Xiao, who was standing to the side, keenly noticed her tense breathing and even caught a hint of indescribable... panic?
He gently held her hand and whispered comfortingly, "My lady, don't be afraid. With so many people here, Necro wouldn't dare to make any rash moves."

He thought Shen Tang was afraid, after all, Necro was the leader of the rebel army, with terrifying strength and ruthless methods, and was an extremely dangerous existence.

But with them there, they would never let him hurt her in the slightest.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly plummeted to freezing point!

However, Necro showed no intention of making a move.

From the moment he appeared, his gaze remained fixed on the beautiful figure at the back of the crowd, intently watching Shen Tang, as if everyone else around him was just insignificant air.

Rather than saying he came for cooperation, it's more accurate to say... he came to see her.

The "purification tree" seems like a hastily made excuse.

Shen Tang tried her best to maintain a calm demeanor so as not to let him see any flaws.

Necro gazed at her and spoke slowly in a low voice.
"What is your relationship with Xiao Cuihua?"
