Chapter 356: Attack on the City (1/2)

Philip was on the way to capture Arman along with a team, meanwhile, Arc is getting ready to go back to the Imperial Capital so that he can better organize the troops.

But at this moment, they got the calls about the sudden appearance of the church followers from nowhere. There are a total of fifty cities which are being attacked and Sam's city is one of the main targets.

The city guards who are responsible for the watch duty on the city walls all have only one thing to report and that is there are hundreds of white-robed people surrounding the city from all sides.

Philip who was about to go after Arman halted in his tracks and changed his mind. He is pretty sure, that Arman wouldn't be able to escape, but just to make sure. He gave another order.

”Close off the gates of that empty factory and lock him in. Don't open until I give an order to.”

With those words, he left with the city guards in tow.

The first thing they did after reached the city walls is to see how many numbers they are up against.

When he did see that, he felt dumbstruck. He didn't expect to see so many people outside the city walls blindly attacking.

There are more than two thousand people when they counted on all sides. Philip could already guess how they came here. Since they already skimmed the vicinities and even in the woods, there are no space gates at all.

One- way Space gates are the only way. But he has another question. The major powers only have simple one-way gates through which they could send a squad of people at most. But now, the Old One, the former head of this planet's Pharmaceutical Association, was able to get his hands on a Space gate of such large capacity.

Philip shook off his thoughts as he started organizing the city guards on the walls.

After Sam's project was completed, every city has Impact cannons on its city walls and Sam's city has even more of them.

Around the city, the wall is completely mounted with Impact cannons and the shooters already took positions ready to attack.

After the initial panic everyone already calmed down. Even the numbers didn't seem as scary as when they first appeared.

Philip gave a signal to shoot and the barrage of Impact Shells started hitting the white-robed swarm of people.

They don't seem to care about the attacks though, they are still blindly charging as if their life depended on it and there is one more thing Philip noticed.

Whenever a follower is on verge of dying, the nearest follower is absorbing the energy off of that person and that person who was supposed to die is becoming undead and was being thrown at the city to cause an undead explosion.

”Don't stop after you hit a vital shot, if you see a dying man, shoot him one more time. Don't show any mercy.”

Along with the impact shells, there is a shower of Methane grenades that are being thrown at the crowd occasionally.

Just like that, the two thousand people are being easily made short work of with the cannons and weapons within an hour. The war didn't even cross the city wall and was almost over. There are some followers who grew their cultivation within the battle who survived the normal grenades and they are too loose for the Impact shells.

A special team led by a Nascent stage cultivator is targeting them to finish them off.

Arc who saw the whole scenario felt extremely relieved and he took off on his beast to leave the Imperial Capital.

He came on his transcendent beast to save some time off. He would return to the Imperial capital within two days if he went on full speed.

But as soon as Arc left, the situation took another turn.

Even though the situation under the wall was completely under their control, there is a sudden change in the atmosphere, and before they realize there is an explosion near the train station.

Philip has already given orders to stop the train services for the time being and the trains are in the stations without any passengers.

When they heard the sudden explosion, they felt extremely panicky.

Watt who is the nearest to the station went on the Silver wind to look at the situation and when he reached the place, he could confirm that these are the signs of an undead explosion.

But the problem is how did the person enter this deep inside the city.

The answer to their question soon came. While Watt was still hovering over the air, he saw a white-robed person appear out of nowhere and explode a few meters away from him.

Luckily, he was alert enough and was able to move far enough to be out of the explosion range.

He immediately called Philip and Jack to report the situation.
