Chapter 416 - 171: Crushing Defeat
After half a day, Lu Hong finally emerged from the dense jungle. When he arrived at the nearest resettlement area, he found that it had already been destroyed by the Disaster Church. The older people were killed directly, and the younger ones were gone without a trace, presumably taken captive. The buildings, such as houses, were also destroyed by the Disaster Church, turning the resettlement area into a pile of ruins.
Apparently, the Disaster Church hadn’t received a response from Torian and, realizing they were exposed, brazenly started to plunder.
The enemy moved quickly, and Lu Hong passed through seven or eight resettlement areas along the way. Each one had been ransacked by the Disaster Church, and the usable portals had also been destroyed.
A bunch of animals!
Lu Hong clenched his fists tighter, not sparing even the civilians, no better than the sea race, simply inhuman!
By noon the next day, Lu Hong finally caught up with the murderous culprits.
The details of the battle need not be elaborated upon; none of these followers of the Disaster Church were Third Transition strong, and Lu Hong quickly dealt with them.
Cries of anguish filled the fields as the deaths of loved ones and the destruction of homes led these tormented civilians to weep bitterly.
"Baron," the few members of the garrison stationed in this resettlement area hobbled towards Lu Hong, some with broken arms, some without legs. Fortunately, Lu Hong arrived in time to save their lives.
"Is the portal still operable?"
