Chapter 37: This Girl Is Protected By Me!

"First, you have to explain to the leader of the fortress. Secondly, if you want the flesh and blood of the evolved beast, you can exchange it for credit. Thirdly, if you cause trouble, arrest them all!" General Liu shouted.

"Credit? Do these new girls have any merit? You are treating them unequally. This is blatant hegemony! We protest!"

"Protest! Protest!"

Miao Suning was a little scared at that moment. She quietly grabbed her mother's sleeve and didn't dare to move. Her mother, Zhang Xiulan, said to Zhang Xiaoya, "How about we don't take the meat anymore and give it to them?" Zhang Xiaoya gave an intriguing smile, "Auntie, you deserve no less. Don't worry!" Then she shouted to everyone, "One thing I want to tell you is that we are not the only ones who have the final say in this fortress; there are stronger beings! The mother and daughter you are threatening are people that the powerful beings care about. I advise you not to be confused!"

"A stronger existence? Is it a general or a leader? No matter who it is, he must give us a reasonable explanation; otherwise, he will give me the same flesh and blood of the evolved beast!" the middle-aged fat man retorted. The crowd started quarreling again, and the noise became more intense. Soon everyone was shouting again!

Zhang Xiaoya shook her head helplessly. It seemed that she could not appease these idiots. After a while, the soldiers in the front row were rushed away, and hundreds of thousands of people began to surge forward. Just when a gangster was about to sneak attack Miao Suning, a terrifying coercion shocked everyone. Except for Miao Suning, her daughter, and Zhang Xiaoya, everyone else at the scene was silent.

"Call out!"

"Ah!~"

A water arrow fell from the sky and hit the gangster's arm, and he screamed in pain!

"Which one of you wants to explain?" Noah's voice echoed in everyone's mind. This terrifying sound made everyone tremble. Zhang Xiaoya glanced at everyone, as if watching a scene unfold. Weren't you working hard just now? Why are you so scared now? Only then did everyone realize who the stronger being in Zhang Xiaoya's words was! Damn it! I actually provoked this master! This is so f***ed up!

"Why is no one talking? Did you turn a deaf ear to what I said?" At this time, a middle-aged man wearing glasses bowed his hands to the sky and said, "Great Emperor, we are the ones who cannot see the mountains. Your Majesty, you don't care about the faults of villains, please spare us!" "Yes, yes! Emperor, you are so mighty! This time it was our fault for not considering it!" the middle-aged fat man explained.

"Do you know how to beg for mercy now? Let me tell you, this girl is protected by this emperor! If you dare to provoke her, you'll have angered me!" After Noah finished speaking, he apprehended the gangsters who were causing trouble. Several people were trembling. They had never encountered this scene before.

"Great Emperor, I was wrong! Please spare me! I have elderly people relying on me and young ones to care for. I can't die!"

"Great Emperor, don't kill me! I agree to whatever you say. Don't kill me!"

Several people begged loudly for mercy and cried bitterly.

"Haha, I have no intention of killing you, why are you so nervous?" He threw these people directly outside the fortress and then said to Zhang Xiaoya and others, "These people are prohibited from entering the city in the future. Let them fend for themselves outside!"

General Liu immediately replied, "Yes! I promise not to let them enter the city!" The three leaders have told several generals that the Abyss Emperor must not be disobeyed. As long as the Emperor does not massacre the city, anything can be said.

Noah nodded with satisfaction and then disappeared from everyone's view. The pressure vanished, and the crowd returned to normal, though they now looked at Miao Suning and her daughter with fear in their eyes.

Zhang Xiaoya complained nearby, "Now are you happy? You can cause trouble wherever you go. There are some beings that you can't afford to mess with!" The crowd dispersed, and they remained silent about the matter from then on. They felt that the government's special care for this mother and daughter was appropriate, and even thought it wasn't enough.

Miao Suning looked up at the sky, never understanding why this big octopus cared for her so much. Zhang Xiaoya, back in the laboratory, immediately spoke to the air, "Great Emperor! Did you just intervene with Taikoura?" Noah heard it but didn't bother to respond.

"By the way, Emperor! Our spiritual rain collection device has been installed. How do you feel about it?" Zhang Xiaoya suddenly remembered and asked.

"Too little! There will be a lot of rainfall in Lingyu this time, and the ones you installed are not enough!" Noah said bluntly.

"I understand. Then I will continue to increase the spiritual rain collection device!" Zhang Xiaoya replied.

The Northern Fortress No. 1 had returned to its normal development frequency. Three of the five clones sent by Noah had successfully completed the fishing mission. However, the three ape kings in the north and south were not easily fooled. The intelligence of primates is much higher. The two giant apes in the south not only refrained from chasing them but also ordered their tribe's ape brothers to stay indoors for the near future. Meanwhile, the white giant ape in the north remained as unmoved as a calm monk.

"Darn it! These three crafty apes are not fooled!" Noah complained. Do I have to go and kill them myself to be content?

Level 4 to level 5 is the first hurdle for biological evolution. Those who can cross this threshold will essentially have a hard time dying. However, the vast majority of creatures stay at level 3 and below. Some have insufficient bloodline power, some lack energy, and some face racial restrictions. Among the three beast kings drawn, the buffalo is the strongest! Fortunately, this buffalo can't fly; otherwise, the clones Noah sent would have been killed by it immediately. But buffalos have a notoriously bad temper, and if you dare to provoke them, you must pay a price.

At this time, three beast waves were heading toward the northern fortress No. 1. The western and southern fortresses of the Dragon Kingdom simultaneously sent emergency messages to northern fortress No. 1. The general content of the message was that three waves of beasts of different sizes were heading toward the fortress, urging them to prepare for defense.

Several chiefs and generals immediately organized the personnel in the fort to make defense arrangements. Leader No. 1 respectfully addressed the air, "Great Emperor! This time, three waves of beasts are coming to attack the city. Can you handle it?" 

Of course, this is exactly what I brought to you, so I can handle it! Noah thought to himself, although he dared not express it. 

"Don't worry! These shrimp soldiers and crabs will not threaten me at all!" Noah replied.

"Well, that's good, that's good!" Chief No. 1 felt relieved. 

An officer reported, "Commanders, the beast wave from the north is expected to arrive here in three hours! The wave from the south is expected in four and a half hours, and the one from the west will take five and a half hours!"

"Understood! Get all departments ready, check all weapons and equipment, and prepare for battle!" Chief No. 1 said seriously. 

"Yes!"
