Chapter 2852 - 2852 Sneak Attack on the City of Origin (2)
2852 Sneak Attack on the City of Origin (2)
An elder nodded. “Alright! That’s all we can do for now. It’s impossible to save the entire City of Origin. If the human race wants a race war, let’s fulfill their wish. As long as we don’t perish, the hope of the Heavenly Cicada Clan is still there.”
Someone asked, “What about the Sky Opening Realm powerhouses outside? Are we really going to give up all of them?”
Most of the elders shook their heads. Someone said, “The City of Origin is in danger. If we want to save them now, we’ll probably lose our lives. With them around, no one will know that we ran away. Everyone, the situation is against us now. Only when the City of Origin is destroyed under the nose of the human race will we be absolutely safe. With 60% of our elites who survive, we might have a chance to make a comeback in the future. There’s no need to gamble now.”
Someone asked, “What about the resources in the resource bank?”
An Yi said, “We can take up to 30% of the resources. Beyond this number, it’ll arouse doubt. When the human race can’t find the resources, they will inevitably guess that a group of people ran away. Considering the Human Emperor’s murderous personality, we will definitely live in fear in the future. Therefore, we can only take away 30% of each resource, and we can’t take away all the rare resources. We can get resources again, but we can’t gamble with our freedom.”
“Got it.”
“Seconded.”
“Alright, let’s end it quickly. Otherwise, it will arouse suspicion.”
“An Yi, just use the teleportation array and leave first. With you missing, no one will notice.”
“That’s right. Leave quickly. I’ll erase this teleportation array as soon as you leave.”
An Yi cupped his fists. “Everyone, see you in a few days.”
In the meeting hall, An Yi was teleported away very quickly. Although people who could reach the level of the Elder Council usually bickered with each other, they were surprisingly united when it came to dealing with major events.
After An Yi left, an elder who was proficient in arrays completely erased the teleportation array here, took back all the energy and resources in the Memories Hall, and erased all the Dao patterns.
After they went out, the meeting hall was no different from before, but who knew that someone in the Elder Council of the City of Origin had already begun to run?
As soon as the elders came out, someone immediately said solemnly, “Everyone, after our analysis, this City-Protecting Array has clearly been tampered with. And the person who tampered with it must be from the City of Wanderers.”
An elder added, “At present, the plan to launch a sneak attack on the human race has already begun. So far, nearly 632 people have died, but this also happens to show that the human race doesn’t have enough means to deal with our sneak attack. Therefore, our greatest enemy now is not the human race, but the City of Wanderers. At this moment, the tidal wave is about to end, and it’s the time when the warriors of our City of Origin are most exhausted. I suggest that we clean up the battlefield in half a day as quickly as possible. After cleaning up the battlefield, the strong masters quickly take the scattered warriors of the City of Origin into your Origin Stars. We will hide in Revived Places for a short period of time. When our strength returns to its peak, we will come out to fight again.”
This was naturally the Elder Council’s lie. Their purpose was to divert the attention of the incoming human army and buy some time for An Yi’s escape.
The Sky Opening Realm powerhouses believed it immediately. They certainly didn’t expect that the Elder Council would lie to them, let alone that the 150,000-strong army An Bailin led had been completely wiped out.
Han Fei couldn’t help but look at Luo Xiaobai with mixed feelings. “You’ve guessed right. The Elder Council of the City of Origin has really chosen to abandon the City of Origin.”
Luo Xiaobai said, “It’s simple logic. The moment they knew that the 150,000-strong army had perished, they knew that the City of Origin was doomed. At this moment, anger is useless. If they resist stubbornly, they will only die. And sacrificing most people to save a small number of people is a choice most people will make. People are always selfish. Their choice is not wrong. If we hadn’t had your Vast Ocean Navigator, their plan must have succeeded.”
Han Fei nodded slightly. Although he felt that he was already quite smart, Luo Xiaobai was always smarter, calmer than him, and seemed to have better judgment. From the moment she became the War Commander of the human race, she had probably guessed all the reactions of the City of Origin in her heart. Perhaps the term ‘having inexhaustible strategies’ was the best description for people like Luo Xiaobai.
Han Fei said, “Based on the number of the ominous creatures, the sparse tidal waves can last for at most two hours. After that, there will only be scattered ominous creatures left. Shall we launch a general attack in two hours?”
“OK…”
Two hours later, the tidal wave was coming to an end, and there was no longer a steady stream of ominous creatures attacking the city.
The warriors of the thirteen cities under the jurisdiction of the City of Origin were cleaning up the battlefield in full swing. They knew that danger was coming, but with the tidal wave blocking the way, they thought that even if a war would break out, the other party couldn’t act so quickly.
But just as these people began to clean up the battlefield, the sea shook, and a perfected Star Transformation Realm strong master exclaimed, “Not good, the enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking…”
In their perception, an army of nearly 10,000 people was rushing over. The number of people was about the same as the number of Sky Openers in their City of Origin.
