Chapter 822 503 The Fall of Panlong City 2

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

In just one minute, fifteen thousand fifth-tier epics had been slaughtered by over a thousand.

However, it stopped there.

The space blockade formation hastily set by Li Fengwen could only last for fifteen minutes before it collapsed automatically.

Without the restraint of the space blockade, various space-related tools could immediately be used.

As fifth-tier powerhouses, who didn't have a few escape tools on them?

Almost the moment they sensed the lifting of the spatial blockade, the more than eight thousand remaining fifth-tier epics vanished from the ruined palace, leaving no trace of where they escaped to.

"Kill! Slaughter the garrison outside, then capture the City Lord's Mansion and destroy the Heart of the Castle!"

At the command, each legendary figure immediately exuded a terrifying aura of their oppressive presence.

The various noble clans within Panlong City dared not even breathe heavily, retreating back to their courtyards and activating protective barriers.

Rebels appeared in the city, surrounding and killing Tongzhi, the King of Freedom. It was wiser for them, the lesser figures, not to go out courting death.

"Tongzhi is dead, surrender, and you shall live! Tongzhi is dead, surrender, and you shall live! Tongzhi is dead, surrender, and you shall live!..."

With each booming shout, the news instantly spread throughout the entire city.

The death of Tongzhi directly triggered chaos among the troops.

The army stationed within the city, originally organized together, descended into chaos almost instantly.

Especially upon seeing a sixth-tier legend holding Tongzhi's braid, dangling his unclosed head in hand. The army immediately collapsed.

With their superior dead, the failure to protect them meant they would naturally face the rulers' blame from the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty.

In that case, they might be captured and executed by beheading.

Rather than being killed that way, surrendering to the rebel army was better since they would at least survive!

Therefore, before the eight legends could start their slaughter, the soldiers hurriedly threw their weapons to the ground.

Then, the soldiers immediately knelt on the ground, surrendering on the spot.

Meanwhile, the Panda and the White Tiger charged into the City Lord's Mansion.

Here, there were still some protective forces composed of fifth-tier epic heroes, but when encountering two sixth-tier fierce beasts, all they could do was flee.

As for those who were slow to flee, they were either smashed into a bloody pulp by the Panda or torn into pieces by the White Tiger.

The smart ones, at the moment the Panda and the White Tiger appeared, quickly took out their space tools and escaped without hesitation.

Whoever wanted to guard the City Lord's Mansion could. With their leader beheaded, staying here was mere suicide.

Soon, the guards at the City Lord's Mansion scattered like birds and beasts.

The protective barrier of the Heart of the Castle naturally could not withstand the Square Sky Halberd in Liu Shengnan's hands.

With a mighty and forceful chop, the city's defenses crumbled instantly.

Especially as Liu Shengnan excavated the city's energy core and deliberately damaged some things.

One could say that all of Panlong City's protective barriers and formations were rendered ineffective at this moment.

It was as though Panlong City had turned into a city without a shred of protective ability.

Soon, any alien race or monster could directly invade the city.

"Li Fengwen, arrange people to take over Panlong City, then migrate the subjects and alien races away, and then..."

Ying Xueji's eyes gleamed with a cold light, leaving her words unfinished, but the three people beside her naturally understood her meaning.

Panlong City was located near Yongzheng's territory.

Here was a crucial strategic stronghold, where they temporarily did not have enough manpower to occupy Panlong City safely.

Therefore, Liu Shengnan destroyed the energy center within the City Lord's Mansion and conveniently ruined the core formation.

To restore this mess, one would need to find a formation master, reconstruct the energy center, and install a high-tier energy stone.

But even this would, at most, delay the restoration of Panlong City's comprehensive defenses by ten days to a half-month.

This was not something Li Fengwen and his group wished to see.

Thus, after moving the subjects and alien races away, the remaining noble families could all be decimated.

Indeed, Ying Xueji's intention was to destroy the entire city!

Not leaving a single stronghold for the people of the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty!

Know this: Panlong City had been managed by Tongzhi for over a hundred years, its prosperity was evident.

Although Tongzhi was a bit absurd, his means were quite competent, having managed the territory well.

Its level of prosperity surpassed even the bustling cities controlled by the old hag.

"Worry not, Sister Ying. Right from the start, I had something nice buried in the four corners of Panlong City. Once our people evacuate, we can activate it immediately. By then, the entire Panlong City will be burned to ashes!"

Subjects and alien races, under the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, were thoroughly exploited people.

There was no need to mention the subjects, solidly common folk and paupers, entirely workers at the bottom level.

The alien races living in the city were all weak tribes selected to be there, existing almost like slave workers, faring even worse than common folk and paupers.

Of course, there were some alien mercenaries with a slightly higher status within the city, but they were still subject to suppression and exclusion from all sides.

As for those powerful alien races, they had strong individuals overseeing them, so why would they send their clan members into cities to be others' slaves?

This is why they needed to transfer the subjects and alien races out of the cities.

In their conquest of cities, Zi Liyuan and his allies often massacred the stationed troops, noble clans, and wealthy families, while migrating the subjects and alien races away.

For development, subjects and alien races were indispensable, and the more, the better.

Of course, it depended on whether your territory could sustain so many people.

Zi Liyuan's "Land of the Dead," though tainted with a death attribute, had abundant resources.

Especially territories like those of himself, Shen Yurou, and Mo Yi, which either used the undead, machines, or demon souls...

These didn't consume food resources, allowing for a considerable save on living supplies.

After some arrangements by Li Fengwen, the four of them immediately used pre-prepared teleportation treasures to flee,

While the eight legends, along with more than two thousand fifth-tier epics, began integrating forces.

About half of Tongzhi's fourth-tier elite army was killed or wounded, and although the remaining troops were also fourth-tier, their combat power was not as strong.

However, these people weren't close confidants of Tongzhi, making their integration less stringent.

While integrating, they also had these people drive the subjects and alien races out, forming long queues to exit through the city's four gates.

Conversely, the noble clans in the city retreated into their residences, activated the protective formations, and quietly observed the outside situation.

What puzzled them was that these rebels didn't attack the noble families' residences significantly.

The seizure of the subjects and alien races took an entire afternoon and evening.

Of course, once all the population resources that could be seized were exhausted, the eight legends blocked the four city gates directly.

The subjects and alien races were escorted by more than two thousand fifth-tier epics and the integrated army.

Once everything was in place, the sky-piercing flames, like a red pillar shooting into the heavens, ignited the entire Panlong City.

The intense blaze spread from the four corners of the city in all directions.

Due to the height of the city walls, the erupting flames were contained within the walls, further spreading and burning inside.

All living beings, when touching the flames, immediately suffered an invasion of fire poison. Their bodies became unbearably hot, and even their spirits felt as though they might be fully incinerated.

The raging flames, stoked by certain spells, quickly engulfed the entire city.

The noble families, thinking they had escaped disaster, were now terrified.

Crying out for help, they attempted to rush out of the city.

Unfortunately, these special flames were not easily broken through.

Especially, once the flames covered the city, a red barrier appeared over the whole city.

Everyone within the barrier was once again restricted from using space-related skills or treasures!
