Chapter 77: Betrayal
After more than a year of construction and improvement, the base was now essentially on the right track. Most of the mundane tasks no longer required Sunan's attention, as the clay golems and the three apprentices handled them.
Aside from occasionally checking on the magical plant garden, he focused his energy on meditation, crafting magic weapons, and potion-making.
Both his mental power and skill proficiency were steadily increasing.
Sunan had expected this state of affairs to continue until he advanced to level 3 wizard apprentice, but then events occurred that disrupted his tranquil life.
In the year 1251 of the Starry Calendar, during the month of Fire Flow.
The principality's reinforcements stationed in the Frostflower Province suffered heavy losses while attempting to eliminate the infected in Silver Ridge City, being ambushed from multiple directions by the attackers. The survival rate was dismal, with only one in ten returning.
The disaster in the Frostflower Province had completely unraveled, and the army of infected began to spread to neighboring provinces.
The borders of Red Leaf Province, White Tower Province, and Hulan Province came under attack from the infected forces, putting them in grave danger.
The three marquises hurriedly mobilized their forces to defend the borders against the invading infected.
In an instant, the southwestern part of the principality was engulfed in the smoke of war.
In the council chamber, Sunan browsed through the battle reports, his brow furrowing.
