CHAPTER 785: CHAPTER 388: CRAZY! HE MUST BE CRAZY!_6

Lord had still been trying.

But soon, the residents rushing up from under the city wall punctured that sliver of hope.

"Don’t fight anymore, don’t fight anymore, the Lord has run away."

"The Lord ran away after looting all our property; he abandoned us."

"There’s no point in defending anymore!"

"He must have wanted to destroy us."

"Quickly surrender!"

"..."

For a moment, the soldiers couldn’t help but look at each other in dismay.

They knew every word spoken, but when put together, they just couldn’t understand.

By the time some soldiers’ families also arrived, the last shred of morale among the soldiers vanished.

The Lord had abandoned the territory, abandoned them.

They had been forsaken!

Under such circumstances, what was the point of resisting?

None! There was no point at all!

Many soldiers had already given up resistance in their hearts.

But at this moment, they suddenly realized something.

Surrender, it seemed, could only be decided by the Lord, and they didn’t even have the right to decide.

Thinking it over, many soldiers could only pin their hopes on the villagers of Hope Village below.

"We surrender, we surrender."

"Our Lord has fled, we want to surrender."

"Don’t fight anymore, don’t fight anymore."

"..."

The voices of the soldiers and the residents continuously reached the formation below.

Several leaders of the arrays frowned unconsciously at this scene.

Was it a real surrender or an enemy tactic?

They had just noticed a magic array appearing above Fasal Village and thought that the enemy had strengthened their defenses! And now they were talking about surrendering?

Who would believe that?

As a result, not a single person chose to stop.

Until Zhou Bai arrived.

Shortly after Wolf left and the magic array appeared, Zhou Bai had an ominous premonition.

Indeed, before long, scouts from the front reported back that Wolf had vanished from the city walls, and traces of their departure were found at a section of the wall.

As soon as he received the information, Zhou Bai brought Bayer and his group to the main battle unit and then heard the news from the soldiers and residents above.

Immediately, he ordered the soldiers to cease their attack.

"What’s going on?" As soon as they stopped, Li Xingteng approached Zhou Bai for an explanation.

The gazes of others also turned sharply towards Zhou Bai.

Clearly, this was the moment when Hope Village had the upper hand. Whether the enemy’s surrender was true or false, it was unquestionably right for them to vigorously attack and breach the city walls.

"The situation has changed," Zhou Bai stated directly, then explained the situation to them, "So Wolf had a purpose for embedding so many Black Stones within the territory. Now that he has left, we must be cautious about Fasal Village."

"Observe for yourselves, what exactly is this advanced magic array? I definitely don’t think it’s for protecting Fasal Village. We better not attack before we clear things up; I can feel that if we continue attacking, the consequences may not be what we want to see." Zhou Bai spoke, relying on her intuition.

It was a very bad feeling.

At this special time, she trusted her own feeling.

Hearing Zhou Bai’s words, the expressions of the people present became more serious, and they began to keenly sense the magic array hanging in the air above Fasal Village.

Very quickly, some faintly grasped a sense.

"The fire element in this magic array is very active."

"Yes, I feel it too; my fire attribute is quite strong."

"I also feel it."

"And beyond the fire attribute, I also sense... the time element and the space element."

"I feel it too."

The last two sentences were said by Heidi and Alike; they both had the talent of space mages.

Time and space were interconnected to a certain extent, so they could sense the aura of time magic.

In fact, they had already felt something was terribly wrong when the fire element emerged.

By now, they all knew something – that an unspecified number of Black Stones were embedded inside Fasal Village.

Black Stones would explode upon contact with fire!

Wolf’s intentions were now very clear; he wanted to blow up Fasal Village.

This fact they had suspected, but with the emergence of time magic, they felt an even stronger sense of foreboding.

"Wolf, that b******, has definitely tampered with time magic. It’s likely that when we breach the walls, that’s when the magic array will activate. By then, the entirety of the territory will have been destroyed by our own hands," Zhou Bai surmised with a clenched jaw, "As for space magic, it’s to prevent Fasal Village’s residents from escaping."

Wolf was using the lives of a city to intimidate them.

Such tactics, too vile!

But they had to admit, it did indeed hold on Hope Village’s lifeline!
