CHAPTER 784: CHAPTER 388: CRAZY! HE MUST BE CRAZY!_5

Just like that, following a brazen spree of plundering, the soldiers had returned to Wolf’s side, their spoils bountiful.

"Let’s go!" was all Wolf said, and all the soldiers still followed him.

The treasures the soldiers had secretly kept during the raid were Wolf’s reward to them.

Having received so much benefit, becoming rich overnight, how could they not follow Wolf? This would only make his confidants trust him more, believing that he would provide them with an even better future.

As for the suffering of those who were plundered? What did it have to do with them?

So, after gathering such a group of confidants, Wolf prepared to retreat.

In no time at all, the group had reached the relatively secluded base of the city wall and successfully crossed it to leave.

Nicholas had been following Wolf the entire time.

Just as he thought Wolf would leave the territory immediately after departure, he saw that, all of a sudden, a magic scroll had appeared in Wolf’s hands.

Under Wolf’s sinister gaze, the magic scroll was quickly unfurled.

As it opened, a gigantic, luminous magic array appeared above Fasal Village.

With Nicholas’s status as an Intermediate Mage, he detected traces of Time Magic and Fire Attribute Magic on it.

These two elements were certainly not good news for Fasal Village.

Nicholas had thought about when the Black Stones he had placed in the public buildings of Fasal Village would activate, but he truly never foresaw it would be at this moment.

Licking his lips, Nicholas finally spoke, "Lord, this magic array is..."

Wolf glanced at Nicholas and said indifferently, "Hellfire Magic Array, an Advanced Magic Array. Once activated, it will randomly drop blazing flames until its magic power is exhausted. It will activate when the territory’s defense power drops to zero. When the walls of Hope Village are breached, they will only be able to watch Fasal Village turn to nothing. Of course, for attacking and destroying a territory, Hope Village will be disgraced after this battle. Isn’t Hope Village always claiming to be kind? I do want to see, after this, who would dare to call Hope Village kind. Such a feeling, isn’t it wonderful?"

Wolf’s madness had fully revealed itself at this moment.

Nicholas had always suspected that Wolf wouldn’t easily let his territory fall into the hands of Hope Village without making trouble, but he truly never imagined that Wolf’s level of madness would be this extreme.

"Mad" wasn’t enough to describe him.

He was absolutely insane!

Moreover, he realized something that his own Lord hadn’t mentioned.

How could the Lord be so sure that the residents of Fasal Village would stay within the territory and not flee?

It indicated only one thing: the Lord’s magic scroll probably contained Space Magic.

This was the only way the residents of Fasal Village wouldn’t be able to leave...

Nicholas was at a loss for words.

Watching Nicholas’s shocked expression, Wolf burst into haughty laughter, his voice full of uncontrollable triumph.

What Nicholas thought of him right now didn’t matter to Wolf in the slightest.

He had established this territory, and how to dispose of it was entirely up to his whim.

As for Nicholas, as an accomplice in this act of destruction, he would never be able to escape Wolf’s grasp for the rest of his life.

Then, while laughing, Wolf quickly led his troops farther away from Fasal Village.

At that moment, the magic array left by Wolf had already attracted the attention inside and outside the territory.

Within the territory.

"What is that?"

"Is it something Lord left to protect us?"

"..."

The residents, looking up at the magic array overhead, still held on to some hope.

But soon, other residents shattered that illusion.

"Protect us? Would someone who has looted the entire territory bother to use an Advanced Magic Array to protect us? Don’t be foolish."

"I don’t know what this is, but it’s definitely not a good thing."

"We should be thinking of ways to escape!"

"Escape, where to? With Hope Village besieging us, how can we escape?"

"..."

"The Lord himself has fled with the troops, what are we doing staying behind to defend this place? Let’s surrender quickly!"

"Right, tell the soldiers on the city wall to surrender."

"..."

In an instant, the residents, as if awakening from a dream, rushed towards the city wall.

On the wall, many soldiers had already noticed the magic array overhead and, just like many residents initially thought, believed it was there to protect the territory. For a moment, they all felt a sense of relief.
