Chapter 465 (1/2)
Xiang Wenxi was in high spirits. With his captains flattering him constantly, he was in a great mood. Although the task given by the Citadel had a few setbacks, it was eventually completed. Now that if the fortress master could complete that task again, sooner or later, he would be promoted and transferred to other places. Then the position of this fortress master would only be given to him!
Thinking about he would soon become the master of this fortress, Xiang Wenxi could not help but become more and more excited. ‘Finally, my glory time has finally come!’
It was at this moment, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly woke him up from his phantasy world.
“What happened?” he was furious.
Outside the room, the first a.s.sistant officer was talking to someone over a disk-shaped transmitter while frowning his brows, “h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo? Repeat what you just said, what is going on?”
“Intruders? Who are they? How many of them? What did you say!? h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo… ”
From the other side of the transmitter suddenly came with a horrible scream, then the person on the other side was no longer talking; all it left was some white noises.
The a.s.sistant officer was alarmed, he quickly walked into the room and whispered into Xiang Wenxi’s ear.
“What! Still haven’t figured out who they are? Where are they now!” Xiang Wenxi’s brows pressed even closer. The influence of alcohol on his mind started to reduce.
With the current situation in the region, if there was anyone dared to attack the fortress, no matter how many people they were, there must have been a Yuan Tian stage three master amongst them. This was the common sense that had been formed through years of battles. Without the help from The Yuan Tian Stage Three master, no one was able to capture this fortress.
“They have already got through the entrance, we still don’t know how many of them,” the first a.s.sistant officer said carefully. He was scared that he would be accused of negligence by Xiang Wenxi. So he quickly added, “the communication was just cut off.”
Xiang Wenxi’s heart instantly sank. Within this short amount of time, they had already broken through the entrance, if they did not have any powerful weapons, then, there must have been a powerful Yuan Tian Stage Three master with them.
But no matter which scenario it was, it was extremely difficult to handle. It was even beyond his ability to deal with this kind of attack.
‘Is it possible that the thing about that woman was leaked out?’ He could not help but think. Apart from this, he could not think of any other reasons why someone would attack them.
Attacking his fortress meant publicly declaring that they were against their entire force. Ordinary people would not have this kind of courage.
Regardless of what it was, he needed to act immediately and find out what was going on. So he immediately pushed away two beautiful female servants in his arms and stood up.
However, just when he was about to order his captains to move out, he was suddenly interrupted by another nervous voice in the transmitter.
“… They broke through the Barbican! I need urgent a.s.sistance, I am deputy Captain Cheng Jiayang, I need urgent a.s.sistance!….”
The transmitter was not very loud, but everyone heard it clearly. All of them were shocked, “with such a short amount of time, they even broke through the Barbican?”
“How many of them, who are they?” Xiang Wenxi immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to act immediately, while walking out of the room quickly. At the same time, he didn’t stop talking to the transmitter.
“I don’t know, I don’t know where they are from, but they are only two people! Quick, they are coming towards us! That man is too powerful, we can’t stop him!”
“Since they only have two people, stop them in the first corridor! I don’t care what method you use, even if it means to use lives to stop them! We will be right there!” Hearing that there were only two people, Xiang Wenxi surprisingly let out a sigh of relief.
“Xiao Li, issue the level one stand by order inside the fortress, gather all the ordinary combat teams and ask them to get into the combat positions,” Xiang Wenxi ordered his a.s.sistant officer. Then he turned around and said to other captains, “gather all your men and ask them to prepare for the fight at the second corridor!”
No one dared to delay it. All of them quickly moved out.
“Go get my sword! Also, turn on the main transmitter and inform the Citadel about the situation!” Xiang Wenxi’s face was livid as he said to a.s.sistant officer Xiao Li.
There were ten teams in the fortress. Around one hundred warriors, and three hundred soldiers that were equipped with advanced weapons. With this kind of power, even if the intruder was a Yuan Tian stage Three master, he believed that he would still win.
The orders were quickly sent to each team by the transmitter, and everyone inside the fortress began to move hurriedly to their combat positions in the ear-piercing alarms.
The first corridor had already been covered with blood and countless body parts, the flaming sword that Cheng Jiayang was holding was vibrating constantly because of his energy.
Originally he wanted to retreat to the second corridor, however, the demon in front of him didn’t give him any chances. Within just a blink of an eye, everyone in the corridor was lifted up and blasted into a b.l.o.o.d.y fog. When he finally came back from the shock, it left with only him and his sword in the corridor.
‘He is not here to capture the fortress! He is here to slaughter us!’ Cheng Jiayang didn’t know why he would have this idea in his mind, but now he no longer wanted to retreat.
Seeing his best friends and brothers being blasted into pieces, his bloodshot eyes bulged with hatred. Some of them had even saved his life before! The blood vessels quickly began to swell on his forehead as he was constantly growling while gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth. He had already forgotten about that actually, he still had families waiting for him at home.
