Chapter 772: Chapter 477 The City Lord Prepares to Escape

“Are you all ready?”

The Lord of Zhenhai City sat in the main seat, looking at each of his confidants, and asked heavily.

“Sir, we are all prepared. The space annihilation formation is ready in the west corner. Once activated, it will explode with the power of a Sixth Tier initial stage strongman, like a self-destructing force.

It is conservatively estimated that everything within a ten-kilometer radius will be completely obliterated.

By then, we can break through directly from this opening.”

...

The first confidant, who was essentially the Lord of Zhenhai City’s house slave, was merely at the peak of the Fourth Tier, but was an Array Master.

“Good, good, as long as we escape alive this time, I can make a comeback. As we distance ourselves from Tianxiang City, if you continue to follow me, you can keep raking in benefits, and there will be rewards from the emperor this time too.”

A crystal ball appeared in the Lord of Zhenhai City’s hand, and he directly injected spiritual power to activate it. Some images appeared on it, showing a eunuch in a red robe reading an imperial edict.

The content of the edict included accolades for him and some tasks assigned to him, even promising additional rewards after the task was completed.

These rewards were real treasures for this group of confidants under the Lord of Zhenhai City!

Initially, some were hesitant about whether the escape would succeed, but at this moment, all of them became resolute.

Staying in this city would eventually lead to being overrun by the orcs, and it wouldn’t necessarily be possible to escape by then.

Once caught by the orcs, they would become nothing more than reserves for food, ultimately roasted alive.

No one wanted to die. Although the city lord’s escape plan seemed unreliable, the chances of breaking through were still high.

If worst comes to worst, they would stick closely to the city lord and let their subordinates cover their retreat.

As long as they could delay the orc pursuers, their chances of successfully escaping alive would become very high!

The Lord of Zhenhai City, of course, knew that many of his confidants had ulterior motives, but he was bringing these people along purely as cannon fodder!

Only a few confidants were true subordinates; bringing them along for the breakthrough meant that if they escaped normally, in a new city, they’d still need them to rake in money as officials.

If the breakout was blocked, then these people would be the vanguard to pave the way for him.

Thinking of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the Lord of Zhenhai City’s eyes.

“Everyone, this is the Vitality Blood Brew; it can revitalize the drinker, optimize one’s condition, and increase all attributes by 5%. Let us drink this cup to the full and be ready to break through at any moment.”

The Lord of Zhenhai City raised a prepared cup of wine, gesturing for everyone to raise a cup from beside their seats.

“We obey the lord’s command!”

No one doubted him. They took the cup beside them and drank it in one gulp.

The Vitality Blood Brew instantly made them feel a burning sensation all over, invigorating them, while the spiritual power in their bodies circulated faster by threefold, gaining an all-attribute 5% boost buff for up to 3 hours.

“Good wine! I didn’t expect a small cup to have such an effect. With this aid, the success rate of our breakout will surely increase by ten percent!”

“The lord gave us such good wine, treating us as true confidants. From now on, I am willing to work tirelessly for the lord!”

“Indeed, this time we must protect the lord to successfully break through, then we will make a comeback!”

…

For a moment, more than twenty people discussed enthusiastically. Appreciative of the lord’s gesture to share something valuable at such a crucial time, each appearing extremely respectful on the surface.

Whatever they truly thought, however, remained unknown.

Leaving the City Lord’s Mansion one by one, they began to deploy soldiers, checking whether various tools and treasures could be used normally.

At this moment, Zhenhai City’s defenses were already on the verge of collapse, and the speed of repairing the city’s barrier was greatly hampered, especially since every lightning strike created breaches that could not be repaired in time.

Just then, dozens of Fifth Tier Epic orcs suddenly charged through the breach in the sky’s barrier, transforming into ghostly shadows, heading towards the nearest East Gate.

The orcs were covered in a hazy black-gray layer, making them ghostly, appearing as dark flashes, and if seen, one would likely think they imagined it.

A special powder applied by shaman priests covered them, concealing their aura, energy, Spirit, and other fluctuations, deceiving the senses of living beings.

In less than half a minute, these Fifth Tier Epic orcs arrived at the East Gate but did not touch it. Instead, they stopped about forty meters to the left of the gate.

The next moment, a violent aura burst forth, with fifty-two Fifth Tier Epic orcs simultaneously unleashing all their energy.

Massive, thick axes, imbued with terrifying force and energy, brutally struck this section of the city wall.

With the fall of the giant axes, the wall shattered and exploded. Fifty-two consecutive axe strikes turned this ten-meter-long section of the city wall into fragments.

As the wall broke apart, the protective barrier guarding the city twisted suddenly, creating a more than ten-meter gap directly at the East Gate!

To open the barrier from the outside required continuous attacks, draining the barrier’s energy to violently break it open and create gaps.

However, breaking through from the inside was much easier.

Not to mention shutting down the barrier; even violently cracking it was extremely simple.

What these Fifth Tier Orcs did was secretly enter the city, then directly smash the wall near the East Gate, disrupting the array patterns inscribed within the city wall.

Once the array patterns broke, gaps would appear in the barrier.

A more than ten-meter-long section of the city wall was split into fragments by the orcs, so naturally, the array patterns inscribed within were thoroughly destroyed.

Hence, an over ten-meter gap immediately appeared in the barrier overhead.

The next moment, the well-prepared orc army launched a charge at the gap, beginning to storm into Zhenhai City through this passage.

The fifty or more Epic orcs who succeeded in the surprise attack immediately gathered together, forming a protective formation to block the humans’ epic from all directions!

They needed to hold out for a while, just until the orc army poured into the city, after which the fall of Zhenhai City would only be a matter of time.

The mere 600,000 professional army was nothing but a dish under the assault of a million orcs.

As for the more than five thousand human epics, they had a way to deal with them as well!

“Kill!”

The epic orcs forming the battle formation connected their aura, consolidating into a Blood Fiend orc phantom, ferociously attacking the surrounding human epics.
