Chapter 76 Undead Siege, Quick Evacuation

Not long after, Xu Beichen and Di Tian flew back to the city wall.

Zhu Meng and the others stared blankly at the two of them. How long had it been? The round trip hadn't even lasted an hour!

Although it's hard to believe, the Demon Tyrant has indeed disappeared.

"Young Xu, with this senior here, is it really necessary to evacuate the people?" Zhu Meng asked blankly.

If he could easily kill the tyrannical ghost, he could probably handle even one of the eight great tyrants who perished.

"We have to retreat," Xu Beichen said seriously.

Although with Di Tian's strength, he would not be afraid even if all eight dead monarchs attacked him together.

However, Xu Beichen's goal is the legacy of the ancient king, and he cannot possibly eliminate these eight deceased rulers.

Although a deceased ruler doesn't die that easily, resurrecting him would definitely require consuming something, so there's absolutely no need for that.

To obtain the legacy of the Ancient King, one must acquire the Ancient King's Armor, which means one must enter the Abyss of Sha.

Xu Beichen was definitely unwilling to enter the Abyss of Fiends, mainly because he was unsure what the Abyss of Fiends might do to him. In the original story, even those super-level mages dared not enter.

To be on the safe side, Xu Beichen decided to let Di Tian enter alone.

With Di Tian's strength, forcibly entering the Abyss of Fiends shouldn't pose too much of a problem.

However, just in case, Xu Beichen felt it was necessary to arrange someone to guide Di Tian, ​​and the most suitable candidate was Fang Gu.

Fang Gu, a mere mid-level mage, actually dared to dream of becoming the emperor of an undead empire; it was utterly laughable.

However, Fang Gu is quite suitable as nourishment for armor.

"I've already arranged for the evacuation of the people. I hope you're right," Zhu Meng sighed.

"How long will it take to evacuate everyone?" Xu Beichen asked.

"This...it will probably take at least a dozen hours," Zhu Meng said uncertainly.

Xu Beichen took out his phone, glanced at the time, and said with a serious expression, "Keep urging them; there might not be enough time."

As dawn broke, although the clouds and rain blocked the sunlight, it was indeed daytime at this point.

During the day, this means the undead will retreat and disappear!

As the tolling of bells echoed through the deserted city, not a single person was eating breakfast or working on the streets, except for a few monks who remained steadfastly guarding the city walls.

"The bell rang, and we can finally get a good night's sleep. I'm going to take a nap."

A very tired guard mage said with a smile.

Now that you mention it, I also...

Before the guard next to him could finish speaking, he suddenly looked down at the undead who were still attacking the city and his face showed a look of horror.

"No, these undead don't seem to be leaving."

"It's daytime! How could it be true? They really didn't leave!!"

The guardian mage struggled to open his tired eyelids and forced himself to sit up to look down from the city wall.

What came into view was a terrifying horde of undead, even more than the night before!

"They really didn't retreat? Have these undead lost the sense of day and night?"

As the mages discovered the situation below the city, the dawn that was supposed to symbolize the day did not arrive; instead, a thick gloom shrouded everyone!

Inside the city gate tower.

"The dead are still here?!"

Zhu Meng looked at Xu Beichen in astonishment and said, "Just like you said yesterday, it's completely against common sense that the undead can move around normally during the day."

Zhu Meng knew very well what this meant: it meant an unprecedented disaster!

The reason why the ancient capital was not breached by the undead was largely because the undead could not move during the day, which gave the ancient capital time to breathe.

No matter how fierce the spirits are at night, they will disperse once daytime arrives.

But this common sense has now been broken; the spirits of the dead do not disperse with the arrival of daylight.

Zhu Meng felt incredibly fortunate. If Xu Beichen hadn't suggested evacuating the people, it would have been an unprecedented catastrophe for the ancient capital!

"The most important thing right now is to evacuate the monks and the remaining civilians as quickly as possible."

Xu Beichen had anticipated this scene, so he spoke calmly.

"You're right, evacuation is the most important thing." Zhu Meng nodded.

Now that things have come to this, it's definitely impossible to hold out any longer. The undead are tireless, but the mages are not!

The mages guarding the city walls, who had been on duty all night, were too exhausted to confront the undead army head-on.

"Waaaaaah!!!"

A death knell-like sound came from the direction of the north corner of the city.

Everyone immediately looked towards the distant sky and were shocked to discover that in the dim and unclear world, a skeletal creature with huge bone wings was flying close to the clouds.

Its silhouette drew closer and closer, its skeletal form comparable to the main city tower standing on the north city wall, and its fully extended skeletal wings could cast a large shadow like clouds!

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Lord of the Underworld!!" Military Commander Lu Xu's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed with a hint of fear.

At this moment, the Lord of the Underworld launched a massive shockwave in this direction.

The once impregnable North Gate was instantly swallowed up by the black shockwave, and even a large area of ​​the city behind it was affected.

If the people hadn't been evacuated in time last night, countless lives would have been lost in that blast.

"The outer city can no longer be held; retreat."

Zhu Meng immediately issued the order, though he was actually more relieved than anything else.

At least most of the people have been safely evacuated, and the worst-case scenario has not occurred.

"You guys retreat first, we'll buy you some time," Xu Beichen said.

Zhu Meng glanced at Xu Beichen first, then at Di Tian, ​​and after a moment of contemplation, said, "Just do your best, and don't put yourself in danger."

In his view, there was no problem with Di Tian protecting Xu Beichen, given that he had easily killed even the Ghost Tyrant.

"Don't worry," Xu Beichen replied.

After Zhu Meng and the others left, Mo Fan approached Xu Beichen and said, "Brother Xu, doesn't this rain seem familiar?"

Mo Fan's expression was rather grim. Seeing the gray sky and the incessant drizzle, it was hard not to think of the calamity in Bo City three years ago.

Xu Beichen understood what Mo Fan meant, after all, he was also in Bo City at the time.

"When I learned that those villages had disappeared, I already had some guesses," Xu Beichen said seriously.

Mo Fan's face showed a hint of resentment as he gritted his teeth and said, "Was it really those beasts from the Black Church who did this?!"

"Don't be angry. Right now, you should evacuate with the others." Xu Beichen patted Mo Fan on the shoulder.

"So, Brother Xu, what about you? You're not really planning to face these million dead alone, are you?"

Mo Fan asked in astonishment, "What will happen to Xin Xia if something happens to Brother Xu?"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," Xu Beichen said.

With Di Tian's strength, dealing with the Corpse Lord of the Underworld and the Mountain Corpse would not be difficult, let alone just delaying the inevitable.
