Based on Lin Qiye's words, not only did he know that City Lord Wang had already escaped, but he also knew the demons were much more than they had previously estimated.
No one on their side had told him about the situation. In that case, the only explanation was he had found out all the information himself.
As Immortal Realm powerhouses, everyone knew very well that some existences with strong enough mental power could easily see all the movements within a radius of thousands of miles when they spread their divine sense.
For example, as an expert at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, City Lord Wang's mental power was also decent.
With a spread of his divine sense, he could explore the situation within a radius of two thousand miles.
Lin Qiye's strength seemed stronger than City Lord Wang's, so it made sense that he had used his divine sense to investigate things they did not know about.
However, the demon army's line of defense spanned tens of thousands of miles. Even if Lin Qiye was a powerhouse in the Celestial Realm, he couldn't grasp everything.
At most, he could only detect one-fifth of it, and that was already an incredible achievement.
"You're really arrogant. Do you think you know the demons like the back of your hand just because your mental power is stronger than ours?"
"We've launched more than thirty low-orbit satellites to find out the situation!"

"That's right. He's indeed stronger than us. Maybe he can draw the two demons at the Celestial Realm away. As long as he can hold them back for a while, we can take the opportunity to escape!"
The first two sentences were spoken directly through the communication device. After that, some groups formed and secretly set up new communication channels. They discussed how to use Lin Qiye as bait and escape.
Lin Qiye had no idea about this, but even if he did, he wouldn't have cared.
The people in front of him were not of much help to him. The reason why he was wasting time here was that there were too many people in Ocean City, and he could not take care of them.
That was why he greeted Captain Zhou.
As for those demons, as long as he killed the commanders, the remaining ones would naturally be destroyed.
Captain Zhou looked at his communicator and wanted to say something, but Lin Qiye had already turned it off and was flying out of the city.
Seeing this, Captain Zhou and the other military members looked at each other.
In the end, under Captain Zhou's leadership, they split into two groups and began to send a portion of their forces to the southwest defense line as support.
As for the northern line of defense, they could no longer follow their hearts. They could only believe Lin Qiye's words. Otherwise, they would not deal with it.
Ocean City's defense lines began moving quickly.
While sending out troops to support the southwest defense line, the military personnel and some higher-ups of the local forces also quickly issued a conscription order to the city.
All residents living near the southwest battlefront above the silver tier must immediately join the battle.
The situation's urgency was also broadcasted through the video.
The residents were terrified as they looked at the overwhelming demons in the image.
Some wanted to escape but were told that the entire city was surrounded.
In the face of such an urgent and desperate situation, the residents did not unite as Captain Zhou and the others had thought.
On the contrary, it was chaotic, with large-scale robberies and riots.
Captain Zhou and the others had no idea that during peaceful times, many people who harbored evil thoughts would be restricted by the law.
Now, they were suddenly told that Ocean City was going to fall. Naturally, many people would lose their minds and start to indulge for the last time.
Since they were going to die anyway, they might as well have a good time before that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Unruly people! What unruly people!"
"Damn it. Those guys aren't worth saving at all. Just let them bring about their own destruction!"
The people hesitating about whether they should escape while Lin Qiye was on the move immediately found sufficient reasons to decide after seeing the chaotic situation.
"Let's go. There's no saving Ocean City."
Someone took action first and fled in the opposite direction of where Lin Qiye had gone.
At the same time, Captain Zhou and the other military members were busy dealing with the demons and riots.
And now, they heard that the leaders of the local forces in Ocean City had all started to leave the base. They were so mad that they jumped up and cursed.
"You motherf*cker! A bunch of f*cking traitors!"
After venting, many military members who had calmed down had to examine the current situation.
"What should we do now? Once those guys escape, even if Mr. Lin can hold back those Immortal Realm demons, we can't defend all three lines of defense!"
"Yeah. The residents are starting to disobey us. If this goes on, I'm afraid our defense system will be paralyzed before the demons attack!"
"Why don't we escape as well? We can't defend this place any longer. Even if we stay, we'll just be throwing our lives away in vain!"
In the face of life and death, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, no one would choose to give up their lives in vain.
Although they weren't sure if Lin Qiye could really hold off the Immortal Realm demons, they still had a glimmer of hope.
The rioters in Ocean City were no longer worth their lives.
