Chapter 145: Auraaa avengers assemble
“I'm glad everyone could make it here, but I have some unfortunate news to tell you.” When the Mages arrived at the North City Wall, Zhu Meng looked at everyone with a heavy expression and said.
As he spoke, he strode in his tall black boots towards the edge of the hall, standing by the railing carved with dragons and phoenixes.
His words paused, leaving everyone with an infinitely melancholic back.
“A Dark Abyss has appeared about 30 kilometers due north!” Zhu Meng finally uttered the rest of his words.
When he mentioned the words Dark Abyss, Zhu Meng had already thought of what Mo Fan had said earlier.
Clearly, the Ancient Capital was truly facing a catastrophe!
“Roar~~~!!!!”
And at that moment, from beneath the dim sky to the north, came a roar that shook the iron city wall violently!
Everyone felt a sharp pain in their eardrums, as if a huge shockwave, with a majestic force that covered the horizon, had rumbled and crashed into the city.
Hearing the sound, several high-ranking officials looked over.
Beneath the dense black velvet clouds, a huge shadowy figure appeared on the horizon!
This shadowy figure was surrounded by a vast, dark expanse, spreading out like a rising tide. Even without seeing it clearly, one could imagine how dense the undead there were.
The shadowy figure roared proudly at the sky, its voice transforming into rolling thunder that passed through this world, shaking the city wall.
“It’s it again. It wants to use the death aura brought by this Dark Abyss to gather more undead and break through the North City Wall in one go!” Zhu Meng said angrily.
“This is bad. This Ghost Tyrant already commands an army of tens of millions of undead. With the Dark Abyss assisting it now, it will be even more unstoppable. We must request more reinforcements,” Zhu Canmou said.
“It’s already very difficult to dispatch more personnel,” Zhu Canmou’s superior, Lu Xu, said in a deep voice.
“No, our forces are limited. Other Mages are responsible for civilian evacuation, but the undead are endless. If we can't hold out through this night, the North City Wall will be completely breached by this Ghost Tyrant, and the civilians in the outer city haven't all been evacuated to the safe zone yet,” another of Zhu Canmou’s commanders said.
Although they didn't know why President Han Ji had issued the evacuation order, seeing the current situation, those who were unaware felt it was very wise.
Zhu Meng looked at Mo Fan. Clearly, what Mo Fan had said earlier was all possible.
Therefore, before that, the outer city wall absolutely could not be lost!
Immediately, he said, “It seems we must execute the plan we drafted earlier.”
This Ghost Tyrant had appeared more than once, so Zhu Meng, this hidden danger councilman, had made plans early on.
“Lord Zhu Meng, doing this is too dangerous. If we’re not careful, we’ll be trapped within the undead legion,” the staff officer said.
“Zhu Canmou, in any city where I, Zhu Meng, am present, I will never allow a single demon to cause chaos. We don’t have enough troops to resist this large-scale gathering of undead, but we here have a chance to kill this undead monarch!” Zhu Meng said with righteous indignation.
The reason Zhu Meng held such a high position in the entire national Magic Association was not because he controlled many aristocratic families, nor because he had many forces secretly supporting him, but because whenever a hidden danger emerged, this councilman always took the lead. This was something other councilmen, who had long since decayed on their high and mighty conference chairs, only talking on paper, could not do.
This courage established his position!
“No, absolutely not. If you few fail, who will command this North City Wall? Everything will fall into chaos!” Zhu Canmou firmly opposed these high-ranking officials putting themselves in danger.
Councilman Zhu Meng liked to take the lead, but he couldn't drag others into such a dangerous situation just because he was a councilman.
“Then what method do you have to stop the Ghost Tyrant’s offensive?” Zhu Meng retorted.
“There's always a way.”
“In less than an hour, they will appear less than three kilometers away,” Zhu Meng said.
“That won’t do either.” Zhu Canmou had no intention of backing down.
“Then what if I join?” As the two were at a stalemate, from among the Mages who had gathered, a sword-browed man in a long black gauze cloak walked out, a calm yet confident smile on his face.
Others' gazes fell on this person. Among them, members of the Hunter Union seemed to recognize him at a glance, showing surprised expressions.
Hunter King Du Xiao!
His subordinate was a charming Demon Man in leather clothes, who seemed to have some connection with the Qingtian Hunter Agency. Lingling always called him Demon Man.
Mo Fan had also encountered him a few times.
Looking back, he found that the Demon Man, wearing a light green thick skin and with a slender figure like a woman, was indeed there. He didn't follow Hunter King Du Xiao out, but instead walked over to Mo Fan, smilingly saying, “What, tired of killing demons? Want to try the taste of undead?”
“What you said makes me uncomfortable,” Mo Fan pouted.
Although he knew this guy had no such intentions, his strange appearance still made Mo Fan a bit hard to accept.
“Hahahaha, you’ve come at just the right time!” Zhu Meng saw Du Xiao and immediately went up to greet him with a laugh.
“If I had known that one summons could bring the famous Hunter King Du Xiao, I would have abandoned wood and cultivated light,” Chief Instructor Fei Jiao also smiled.
“Zhu Canmou, I, Du Xiao, cannot guarantee that everyone will be safe in this hunt for the Ghost Tyrant, but the chances of success can at least increase by a few points. At worst, I can bring them back alive,” Du Xiao didn't pay too much attention to what they said, but looked at Zhu Canmou and said.
Everyone knew that with the Dark Abyss appearing, the Ghost Tyrant would use it to command all undead. If it wasn't killed immediately, more Commander Level undead and War General Level undead would awaken. Therefore, it had to be killed.
Only then could the Ancient Capital be defended!
Zhu Canmou also understood this, so with Du Xiao's addition, he could only agree.
“Good, now the number of Super-Order Mages is sufficient, it depends on the next deployment.”
At this time, Lu Xu said, “Around the Ghost Tyrant, there is a group of Bone Generals, Corpse Generals, and Ghost Generals. The Bone Generals and Corpse Generals are like annoying cockroaches to us; we can just step over them. But if the group of White Yin Ghosts commanded by the Ghost Ministers is large, it will cause us immense Mind Element impact. If I'm not mistaken, none of us here cultivate the Mind Element, do we?”
Zhu Meng then looked at the gathered Mages and said, “Everyone, I apologize, the situation is now more serious than we just discussed. I need your assistance in killing the Ghost Tyrant. Of course, we will face the Ghost Tyrant, and your responsibility will be to deal with the undead hordes blocking the way, allowing the Light Element magic circles to activate and disperse them.”
Because Zhu Meng himself took the lead, everyone else naturally chose to join without hesitation.
Mo Fan also joined this mixed team.
