"Yes, there's a lot, but I'm not sure about the exact number."
The answer of the fire elemental spirit instantly made Shen Yanxiao's heart fall into a cold pool.
The invaders had been slow to act, not because Mengmeng Qi's deterrence was in place, nor because they had stopped their activities, but because they were brewing a bigger plot!
The Alchemist Convention brought together all the best alchemists in Storm Continent. If they were to capture all the alchemists who attended the convention, wouldn't it be much easier than catching them one by one!?
"Your Majesty, remember that group of invaders you were talking about? They're already here, right near the square." Shen Yanxiao said in a frown.
"What?! This... That's not possible." Mengmeng Qi froze.
"Their purpose is very clear. This convention is a gathering of alchemists. They must have intended to use this time's Alchemist Convention to put all the outstanding alchemists of Storm Continent in one pot and take them all in one go." Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes and wondered if such an arrangement had anything to do with Ouyang Huanyu. After all, it was easy for a mind like his to come up with such a plot.
"They want to capture all the alchemists here? Don't worry, this is the capital city of the dwarves. They can't cause trouble here. I was long prepared for it. Since I was afraid that the invaders would make trouble, I arranged a large number of soldiers in the capital city beforehand. As long as they dare to show their heads, I'll make them look good!" With a firm look on his face, Mengmeng Qi, as the king of the dwarves, could not back down at such a time.
Shen Yanxiao looked at Mengmeng Qi with some uncertainty. She didn't know how effective the dwarves would be, and she couldn't tell how many people Mo Yuxun had brought. Could the soldiers Mengmeng Qi had deployed really defend the peace of the capital city?
"Since his Majesty has already made preparations, I will no longer worry." Shen Yanxiao responded. Although the dwarves had formed an alliance with her she was, after all, the representative of the Human Race and could not influence the decision of the dwarves. In the end, Mengmeng Qi was the ultimate commander-in-chief of the dwarves.
"It's just that one of the invaders is very strong. If he shows up, please don't let the soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices. We'll take care of him." Shen Yanxiao knew that with Mo Yuxun's strength, the dwarves' existing humanoid machines and mechanical puppets could not defeat him. Instead of letting the dwarves suffer death and injuries, she would rather step forward and deal with him.
Mengmeng Qi looked at Shen Yanxiao, and then looked at the several tall figures around her.
Although Shen Yanxiao had not introduced them, Mengmeng Qi's vision was good enough to see that in addition to Tang Nazhi, the other two men were not human beings, and their strength was also extraordinary.
"Very well." Mengmeng Qi did not continue to be stubborn. As the king of dwarves, he also did not want his soldiers to die.
"Then, the competition?" Shen Yanxiao asked.
"Let it continue." Mengmeng Qi took a deep breath. Until the enemy moved, he would not take a step.
Shen Yanxiao nodded her head. Instead of persuading Mengmeng Qi otherwise, she turned around and walked up to Tang Nazhi.
"Little Xiao, are those guys really here?" Tang Nazhi still thought it was too sudden. He had been staying in the Storm Continent for so long and hadn't met them even once, but within two days of arriving in the capital, he was about to go to war with them!
"The perception of the fire elemental spirit will not be wrong, we should be on guard at all times. If Mo Yuxun shows up, I will request the Dragon God and Bian to stop him." Shen Yanxiao said.
