Chapter 628: Next Stop! Gewot City
"All of you are a bunch of trash!"
Jade Bottle Man also cursed aloud.
Bloodthirsty Child swept its ghostly eyes back and forth, noticing that in such a short time, Drak City had almost become a ruin!
This…
What’s going on?
Even if those dozen or so Earth Ghost Generals were useless, they were at least around level 90.
Plus, with the ghost energy constantly emitted by the ghost slaves, their combat strength should have been boosted.
Let’s not even mention…
That two-headed ghost should have no problem dealing with a level 98 human powerhouse, and could even hold off a level 99 powerhouse for a while.
Yet, they were wiped out in an instant…
Are you kidding me?
Bloodthirsty Child’s expression instantly turned incredibly grim.
Damn it…
"Let’s go…"
"No more chances!"
Multi-Mouthed Woman said faintly.
Her hoarse voice was deeply unsettling.
If the ground battle had gone well, they might have been able to drag it out longer.
At that point, the Earth Ghost Generals could have set up a ghost energy formation to encompass the area, aiding the three level-100 combatants in counterattacking Lost.
If Lost let his guard down even slightly, they might have been able to exchange one level-100 combatant for his life.
For the Takamagahara Forbidden Zone, sacrificing a Heavenly Ghost General’s life for a general’s life was a great deal.
After all, the ghost broodmother on their side could resurrect the Heavenly Ghost General.
Though its level would drop significantly, it could still live.
And in the Takamagahara Forbidden Zone, rewards were based on merit.
As long as they could kill a level-100 general from any national legion, even if the ghost general wasn’t completely dead, the broodmother could revive it.
They would also be rewarded with numerous items, enabling the sacrificed ghost general to return to peak form, even rising significantly in ranking.
So…
This Heavenly Ghost General and two Earth Ghost Generals truly weren’t afraid of death.
In fact, they’d willingly sacrifice their lives to ensure Lost’s downfall.
Of course…
As long as their original spirit form wasn’t completely destroyed.
But now.
They had no choice but to retreat.
There was simply no other option.
"Hmph!"
Jade Bottle Man snorted angrily and reluctantly opened a space tunnel.
Multi-Mouthed Woman returned to her female form, and Bloodthirsty Child entered the space tunnel alongside her.
Lost watched the three level-100 ghost generals leave and let out a slow breath.
His eyes showed a mix of surprise and delight.
He hadn’t expected to conquer Drak City so quickly!
No doubt about it…
Ling Zhan must have played a major role in this!
What a treasure of a prodigy!
If he didn’t already know Ling Zhan would refuse, he’d ask General Li to let him have this kid.
He’d pour all his resources into training him.
Lost lightly waved his staff.
A mirror radiating lightning appeared before him.
The scene within the mirror showed General Li seated in a conference room, looking down at intelligence reports.
"Contacting me so early, could it be that the counter-night raid plan failed?"
General Li raised his head, took a sip of tea, and asked softly.
"It didn’t fail; it was a great success."
"Just as Ling Zhan predicted, that Slaughtering God seemed convinced we wouldn’t dare to strike directly at the heart, so Drak City wasn’t fortified. When they discovered our airborne arrival, they had to hastily retreat."
"To prevent us from noticing, they deliberately had ghost slaves launch a midnight raid on our fortress."
Lost shook his head as he answered.
"Hmm?"
"He actually guessed right…"
General Li couldn’t help but look slightly surprised.
And to conquer it so quickly!
"Old Li, you can call in a divine architect to reinforce Drak City’s foundation now!"
"I don’t know what methods Ling Zhan used earlier, but he triggered all sorts of natural disasters that left Drak City utterly ravaged."
Lost, being the Thunder Mage God, naturally sensed the disaster’s waves earlier.
He also sensed that it was caused by Ling Zhan.
Even as he was entangled with the three level-100 ghost generals, he couldn’t help but feel shocked by the mysterious waves.
Because the disaster’s magnitude was definitely SS-level!
What a kid!
He didn’t expect Ling Zhan to have held back even in the deathmatch tournament!
………
The next morning.
As the first ray of sunlight pierced the thin clouds and bathed the land.
Drak City, once in ruins, had been completely rebuilt, shining with a new brilliance.
It had transformed from a populous city into a vast mechanical fortress.
This was the result of a night’s work by divine architects.
They rebuilt the foundation and had Tier 3 Earth Magic Sovereigns mend earthquake-caused cracks.
Then, the massive meteorites were hauled away.
The tsunami had long subsided, and the floodwaters returned to the deep ocean.
After three months of darkness, Drak City finally welcomed its long-lost sunlight.
The once-parched land had become moist and fertile.
Blades of green grass sprouted stealthily from the ground.
After the disaster…
Came rebirth.
As for Drak City’s citizens…
Not a single survivor remained.
If Drak City had only been occupied by these malevolent ghosts for a few days, some survivors might have been found in the basements.
But with ghost energy lingering for months, even those hiding in basements succumbed to its effects.
"Next stop, the jungle city Gewot!"
"To fully control the eastern region, the Slaughtering God plans to transform all fifteen major cities into core ghost nests!"
"Now the Slaughtering God must be on high alert."
"Defenses will have been bolstered, and it won’t be as easy to conquer as Drak City."
"This will be a tough battle! Rest for three days, and in three days, we march on Gewot City!"
"Of course…"
"According to Duke Assad’s intel, Gewot City hasn’t been completely overtaken yet, and a princess is trapped there."
"Duke Assad demands we rescue the princess while retaking Gewot City and then deliver her to him."
After discussing with General Lost, General Li, and the reserve squad captains, including Ling Zhan, a crucial decision was made.
To this.
Ling Zhan calmly said, “Is Duke Assad really that impressive?”
General Li and the others were momentarily stunned upon hearing this.
