578 Disaster of the Undead Ruler (2/2)
The Magicians were relieved when they learned that they were not messing with the Dark Abyss.
Everyone had come to here to contribute in the war against the undead. They would not mind guarding the walls for the night. Since there were around forty Intermediate Magicians and four or five Advanced Magicians, they could still hold a Ruler-level creature off.
As everyone expressed their willingness to lend a hand, a deep roar rocked the dim sky in the north, shaking the walls vigorously!
Everyone felt a sudden pain in their ears, as if a great shockwave coming from the horizon had just slammed into the walls.
Councilman Zhu Meng, Instructor Fei Jiao and the Commander of the North Walls were startled. They immediately glanced at a black figure in the distance...
Mo Fan followed their gaze and saw the same pitch-black figure that he had seen when he first went up to the walls. This time, he was able to get a clearer look as he was closer, with a greater visual impact!
”It's the creature again; it's trying to break through the walls since more undead have gathered due to the Dark Abyss!” exclaimed Zhu Meng furiously.
”This is bad! The Undead Ruler is already commanding an army of ten million undead. It's pretty much unstoppable with the Dark Abyss nearby. We have to request backup!” declared the military advisor.
”We are running out of men,” replied Commander Lu Xu.
”It won't work, our force isn't strong enough. The undead never stop coming! If we can't hold the night, the northern walls will fall to the Undead Ruler, and the city's north will be covered in blood,” stated Fei Jiao.
”It seems like we'll have to commence the plan we decided on earlier,” Zhu Meng frowned.
”Councilman, that's too risky! We'll be trapped among the undead if anything goes wrong!” protested the advisor.
”Advisor Zhu, as long as I, Zhu Meng, am in this city, I will not allow a single undead to break through! We might not have enough men to defend against the invasion, but we have the chance to kill the Undead General!” promised Zhu Meng righteously.
The reason why Zhu Meng was sitting in the highest position in the country's Magic Association was not because he was in control of many renowned families or he was supported by many factions behind the scenes, but because he would always step forward during every disaster, leading the men. It was something that the authorities rotting in their chairs in the meetings between higher-ups as they talked about stratagems on paper could never do.
He had secured his current position with his boldness!
”No way, that won't work; if the plan fails, who's going to take command of the walls? Everything will fall into a mess!” Advisor Zhu was definitely against the idea of putting their lives at risk.
Councilman Zhu Meng liked to lead his men in a charge, yet it did not mean he could place everyone else in danger just because he was a Councilman.
”So how do you think we're going to stop the Phantom Tyrant Emperor's attack?” asked Zhu Meng in return.
”We will come up with one!”
”They will be less than three kilometers away in less than an hour,” said Zhu Meng.
”I'm still against it!” Advisor Zhu had no intention of compromising.
”What if I'm included, too?” Among the Magicians that had gathered, a man in a black fur coat and sharp eyebrows stepped forward, bearing a faint, yet confident smile.
The others switched their gaze to that person. Some from the Hunter Union recognized the person straightaway, leaving them astonished.
Mo Fan glanced at the guy, and felt him to be extremely familiar!
