So I'm a sheep.

Shouldn't this celebration have been held immediately when the pace of external expansion has ceased?

Holding the celebration at that time might seem a bit rushed, but the enthusiasm of the people would be enough to make up for any shortcomings.

It's been delayed until now...

"Sigh, the wait was too long, I don't feel anything anymore."

As soon as he said this, the officer was bombarded with criticism from those around him.

"What are you saying, sir? Everyone's having such a good time, don't spoil the fun!"

"Exactly, it's always good to be well-prepared."

"A celebration without fine wine is not a good celebration. If we had rushed into it, we probably would have had to drink alcohol diluted with water."

"You guys..."

The burly man was somewhat amused and exasperated. These scoundrels had complained about him all the time, but on the day of the celebration, they were all silent.

"Sir, there's a tavern up ahead!"

"Haha, it's the officer's treat! We're not leaving until we're drunk!"

Cheers to victory!

"I don't mind treating you to a meal."

The man said helplessly, "But today is the first day of the celebration, and we're just going to let it pass by in a drunken stupor?"

"What's wrong?"

"As long as you're happy."

"go Go."

Several men pushed their superior into the tavern, and soon loud, unrestrained laughter echoed from inside.

"Xiaomei, I like you!"

Under the big tree on the playground, a boy took the opportunity of the celebration to confess his feelings to the girl he liked.

"Hey, but I only see you as a good friend."

Well, life isn't always smooth sailing.

"Want a commemorative mug? Fifteen yuan each, or fifty yuan for a set of three!"

"Let's buy one."

Soldiers, students, vendors...

At this lively celebration, everyone is pursuing their own happiness.

Even the sage was moved as he walked down the bustling street.

He had previously led an exchange team to visit the steel city, and the city's coldness and power deeply shocked him.

As a member of the cult, he naturally had a favorable impression of the steel city.

No amount of goodwill could make the sage turn a blind eye to the other side of that city.

The inhabitants there wore no smiles; they felt no pride in defeating the Zerg, nor did they hold any hope for the future.

He simply followed orders meticulously, numbly passing each day.

The man slowed his pace, looking around at the vibrant sanctuary. A thought once again welled up in his mind—humanity's hope lies not in the steel city, but in Aran!

Just as the sage was feeling excited, suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the sky.

Time seemed to stand still, everyone frozen in place, dumbfounded.

"..."

"Get to the underground bunker immediately!"

"Have the bugs arrived?"

"That's impossible! This is the core area!"

The festive atmosphere vanished instantly, and everyone felt a sense of impending doom.

'A major disaster warning! Why is this alarm sounding at this time?!'

The sage quickly took out his phone and dialed a number. Upon hearing the reply from the other end, the man's face showed confusion.

A giant unidentified life form is flying towards Alan. Is Sasha's decision to issue the highest level of disaster warning?

..................................................

"Sasha, what exactly happened?"

Upon entering his office on the top floor of the city hall, the sage immediately sensed that something was amiss.

Not only were Carlos and Sasha there, but Sofia and that angel named Chelsea were also there.

besides......

Why would even the Protoss, who haven't shown their faces in ages, appear here?

"Sage, let the outer troops cover the civilians' retreat to the core area as soon as possible."

The little girl sighed and said, "A new disaster is coming."

"Sasha, even with the military working together and the outer light barrier, we still can't stop that huge unidentified life form?"

The sage said anxiously, "If the army rushes into the core area all at once, it will cause great panic!"

'It's good to cause panic.'

Thinking this, Sasha shook her head and said, "Sage, against demigods, the army probably won't be of much use."

"..."

"A demigod?" the sage repeated, somewhat bewildered.

“You didn’t feel it, but those of us with extraordinary powers all felt a terrifying aura.”

The little girl said with a bitter face, "For something to make even someone like me feel terrified, it must be a terrifying being at the demigod level!"

Sasha's anxiety quickly infected the sage, and the man hurriedly asked, "Can't you all defeat the demigod by joining forces?"

Don't include me in this.

Helen, sitting on the sofa, waved her hand: "I've been an observer for so long, there's no reason for me to suddenly help now."

“Bishop Helen, there are still members of the Sea King Society in this city!”

"..."

Seeing that Miss Celestial Spirit remained unmoved, the Sage suppressed his anger and turned his gaze toward the Angels.

“Sasha, Bishop Sofia, Your Excellency Chelsea.”

"Can the three of you join forces to repel the attacking demigod?"

Of course they can. In fact, even if Chelsea doesn't make a move, the two Archangels combined are fully capable of fighting against a demigod.

After all, the little girl was no longer the same as before.

Facing the sage's gaze, Sasha hesitated before saying, "The three of us will work together to strengthen the light barrier. Hopefully, we can hold on."

Hearing such an uncertain statement, the sage became even more worried. He immediately said, "I'll request reinforcements from headquarters right now. Sasha, you must hold on until the reinforcements from headquarters arrive!"

..........................................................

Without any attempt to hide anything, the sage dialed Albert's number in front of the angels.

"Colonel, there's an emergency!"

"The angels have detected that a demigod-level life form is approaching Aran, and the sanctuary's current strength may not be enough to withstand this attack."

"We are now appealing to our sister cities for help, hoping..."

"Wh-what?"

"Colonel Albert, what do you mean by that!"

"..."

"........"

The call was abruptly ended without warning, and the sage's face turned ashen.

Seeing the man's expression, Sasha knew that reinforcements were out of the question. Well, it didn't matter anyway, since she had never expected the Order to fight for Alan.

Just as the little girl was about to say something, the sage's bitter voice rang out.

"Sasa, we probably can't count on headquarters."

"I wonder if you have any reinforcements on your side?"

Volume 1: Chapter 210 Obstruction

"I sent a request for help to the higher legion as soon as I first noticed the appearance of the demigod."

"but......"

After a moment of silence, the little girl perked up and said, "There's no news yet. The world is complicated, and it's normal to take your time to think before making a decision!"

"In short, let's weather the first wave of attacks from the demigods!"

The little girl seemed quite optimistic, but the wise man was anything but.

He looked at Helen and suddenly did something no one expected.

'thump'

The man gritted his teeth and knelt down before Miss Celestial: "Bishop Helen, please have mercy."

"You've lived in Aran for so many years, don't you have any feelings for it at all?"

"..."

"I did misjudge him."

As if she had discovered a fun toy, a strange smile appeared in Helen's eyes.
