604 Victory (2/2)

Yao Nan immediately glanced in that direction too. When he saw white rays rising into the sky, he immediately smiled, ”They did it!”

”Who?” asked Mo Fan.

”The Phantom Tyrant Emperor is eliminated! Our army is withdrawing back to the walls!” Advisor Zhu's anxious face finally smiled for once. It was obvious that he hd been deeply worried about it for the entire night.

After all, they had sent quite a number of Super Level Magicians out. If something were to happen to them, the northern walls would be in serious trouble!

The white rays gradually drew closer to the walls. As soon as the Phantom Tyrant Emperor died, the undead completely lost their backing. The Commander-level undead no longer posed any threat, especially when Super Magicians were free to lend a hand, too...

”Nice, great job, well done!” yelled Advisor Zhu when he saw the army making their way back to the walls.

The Commanders in charge of guarding the walls danced for joy too. For the past month and more, they had always been on their toes because of the Phantom Tyrant Emperor. The vicious undead were the greatest threat to the northern walls. They had almost made a huge hole in the walls a few times.

Now that the threat was finally eliminated, the soldiers in charge of guarding the northern walls were relieved.

Dull clouds gathered in the east. Sunlight came late, as expected, but the people on the northern walls were cheering loudly, to welcome the new day, and also to welcome the heroes returning from their victory...

Magicians gradually arrived at the walls. Some that were quicker had even returned to the tower.

A man with a pair of fiery wings on his back swept past the sky in the rain, leaving a long trail of fire behind, like a burning meteorite!

The fiery wings beat rapidly as the figure headed for the walls quickly. Even though the person was covered in wounds, it did not take away any of his authority and pride.

Mo Fan recognized the fiery wings. It was none other than Councilman Zhu Meng!

His fiery wings lit up the gray tower. He landed on the tower, a heat wave sweeping over the crowd. While his beard was still drifting in the wind, he had already landed stably in front of Advisor Zhu and the rest of the Commanders...

”Where's my superior; don't tell me he sacrificed himself?” Yao Nan asked immediately when he saw Zhu Meng.

”He did survive, but the question is when he's able to rise from bed. That guy is totally out of his mind… but without his risky move, it's likely that the Phantom Tyrant Emperor would have escaped safely!” Zhu Meng panted heavily trying to catch his breath. When he caught a glimpse of Mo Fan, he immediately wore a frown and snapped, ”Did this kid desert his squad? He's definitely going to suffer the consequences if he's a soldier!”

”The number of undead I killed is higher than the Magicians that you've gathered today!” said Mo Fan unpleasantly.

”He did great today, helping me kill a Corpse Official,” Yao Nan complimented Mo Fan for once.

”Humph, that sounds more like it!” Zhu Meng nodded and glanced into the distance, ”The others will be back eventually. The casualties aren't too terrible this time. It's our victory!”

”Councilman, you should go and rest. Your injuries aren't light, either,” Advisor Zhu sent a Battlemaga over to take care of the Councilman.

The Battlemaga was obviously a Healer, wearing a white robe. She escorted Councilman Zhu Meng to the third floor to rest up.

Zhu Meng noticed the area covered in white dots in the distance. He pointed at the area and asked, ”What's going on there? Is someone trapped?”

”Yeah, it's a small squad. They are surrounded by the skeletons, but it will be daytime soon. It won't be a huge problem,” said Advisor Zhu.

Zhu Meng studied the sky and realized that the sunlight was indeed poking out from the gray clouds. It would be daytime by the time he could reach the squad. He decided to take care of his wounds instead, since it was impossible to tell what else they might encounter the following night. He had to recover from the injuries as soon as possible, since he was still needed to protect the northern walls.
