CHAPTER 793: CHAPTER 390: FASAL VILLAGE - BROKEN_4

Worley and Norris sank in their hearts upon listening.

The disaster at Fasal Village seemed inevitable.

In the face of disaster across the entire territory, could their families remain completely safe?

Their gazes landed on Zhou Bai, their eyes filled with complexity.

Through the brief conversation just now, they clearly understood that the village chief had made considerable efforts, even revealing his willingness to abandon the plan to capture Fasal Village for the lives of its residents.

Compared to the Lord who had put them in this situation, they only wanted to say, humans could indeed infuriate one another beyond compare!

"Alright, prepare for the attack," Zhou Bai paused briefly before issuing the command directly.

Since the outcome would be the same, it was better to buy some time for themselves.

"Yes," Heidi and the others hurriedly complied.

In a short amount of time, the entire Hope Village team sprang into action again.

Just then, the soldiers, having been well-fed, were also eager to fight.

Previously, there had been resistance, but now with none, what did they have to fear in a pure offensive?

While Hope Village was preparing their attack, the interior of Fasal Village also noticed their movements.

Basel, waiting atop the city walls, felt his heart involuntarily leap.

He soon spotted Zhou Bai.

"The Magic Array can only be dealt with once it is activated, so Hope Village will soon continue their offensive," Zhou Bai stated directly, "Before that, I have a proposal."

"What proposal?" Basel pressed for time.

"You can mobilize the soldiers of your territory to protect the public buildings. Though Black Stone cannot be found, they cannot escape the range of the public buildings. If the public buildings are well-protected, at least the Black Stones in those buildings won’t explode in the short term," Zhou Bai declared directly, providing them time to break the Magic Array.

The only risk was for those providing protection because they had to protect both the public buildings and themselves under the Magic Array.

Basel listened, paused for a moment, and then gave his answer after a long silence, "I’m willing, but I do not know how many people in the territory would agree..."

"Simply explain the benefits and risks to them. We also need to wait for the Space Magic Array to activate before we can solve it. If before that, the entire territory explodes, none of you can escape, how long can you hold? Buying time is saving others as well as yourselves, don’t you think?" Zhou Bai countered, each word striking deep into Basel’s heart.

"Good, I will mobilize them."

"Please hurry, we are ready to launch our attack," Zhou Bai said crisply, not planning to give them much time to deliberate. The longer they took, the less decisive the people would be.

Thus, immediately after Zhou Bai finished speaking, all the siege weapons started operating.

The walls of Fasal Village began to tremble once again.

At this point, Basel had no time to delay, immediately seeking out the captains of the various soldier teams, as well as the territory’s Mercenary Team and Professional Teams.

These people, already panicked by the sudden attack from Hope Village, no longer needed further prompting from Basel after hearing him; they eagerly chose different public buildings to protect.

Watching this scene unfold, Basel suddenly grasped Zhou Bai’s idea.

After also incorporating one of his teams into the protection detail, Basel returned to the city walls, looking back toward Fasal Village from this side, staring at the Magic Array in the sky above the village, ready at any moment.

At this moment, there were still many eyes fixed on the Magic Array.

Just like this, the Hope Village team launched a major attack on Fasal Village from the inside without any resistance.

Mostly, the attacks relied on stone and their own magic and physical strength, as arrows and weapons, which were slightly more valuable items, were too precious for them to use.

At this point, catapults and giant siege engines, which operated solely on human power, had the desired effect.

Perhaps because Wolf had stored stones in the warehouse before leaving, the defensive power of the walls did not collapse catastrophically but instead gradually declined after persistent struggle, until it completely failed.

The moment Fasal Village was breached, all the residents of Fasal Village received the same notification.

"Dear Host, Fasal Village has failed in this Territory War and has been captured by Hope Village. It has been detected that the Lord of Fasal Village has abandoned Fasal Village, and the residents automatically become prisoners of Hope Village..."

When they saw this message, all the residents of Fasal Village felt a sense of sadness, for having been residents of Fasal for so long, how could they not feel attached to their own territory?

Of course, the sadness at this moment was more about their own fate’s sorrow, representing that they could not decide their own destinies, as their future was now in the hands of Hope Village.

Would Hope Village treat them as slaves?

Meanwhile, Zhou Bai also received the system notification.

"Dear Host, in this Territory War, you have gained 6,372 residents from Fasal Village. Do you wish to make them residents or slaves?"

"Dear Host, in this Territory War, you have gained 2,312 slaves from Fasal. Do you wish to make them residents or slaves?"

Watching the notifications, Zhou Bai did not hesitate to choose the former.

When she had made her choice, both the residents and slaves of Fasal Village received the information.

Many residents of Fasal Village breathed a sigh of relief when their identity as residents was confirmed.

At least in name, that was settled.

Basel also relaxed a bit, although at their level, they would not end up as slaves, but becoming residents sooner allowed for some peace of mind.

As for the slaves, they were even happier; the people of Hope Village really hadn’t lied to them.

Thus, within the territory of Fasal Village, the slaves began to gather resources with even more vigor.

Meanwhile, the minds of the residents inside Fasal Village were quickly overtaken by reality, and their gaze was unconsciously drawn to the Magic Array.

Now that the walls had lost their defensive power, it was time for the Magic Array to activate!

What came next was the key to whether they could survive or not...

Indeed, the moment the walls of Fasal Village were breached, the Time Magic on the Magic Array immediately lost its effect, and the magic power began transferring to nearby areas, following the patterns until it entered the Fire Attribute Magic Array.

Above Fasal Village, in that instant, the sky gradually turned red.

At this moment, the residents of Fasal Village deeply realized something.

Hope Village was true to their word.

And when the entire Magic Array was completely dyed red, a blinding burst of light followed, and the fiery red began to descend.

Above Fasal Village, streaks of flowing fire poured down.

Beautiful yet fraught with utmost danger.
