Chapter 356: Attack on the City

Philip was on the way to capture Arman along with a team, meanwhile, Arc is getting ready to go back to the Imperial Capital so that he can better organize the troops.

But at this moment, they got the calls about the sudden appearance of the church followers from nowhere. There are a total of fifty cities which are being attacked and Sam's city is one of the main targets.

The city guards who are responsible for the watch duty on the city walls all have only one thing to report and that is there are hundreds of white-robed people surrounding the city from all sides.

Philip who was about to go after Arman halted in his tracks and changed his mind. He is pretty sure, that Arman wouldn't be able to escape, but just to make sure. He gave another order.

"Close off the gates of that empty factory and lock him in. Don't open until I give an order to."

With those words, he left with the city guards in tow.

The first thing they did after reached the city walls is to see how many numbers they are up against.

When he did see that, he felt dumbstruck. He didn't expect to see so many people outside the city walls blindly attacking.

There are more than two thousand people when they counted on all sides. Philip could already guess how they came here. Since they already skimmed the vicinities and even in the woods, there are no space gates at all.

One- way Space gates are the only way. But he has another question. The major powers only have simple one-way gates through which they could send a squad of people at most. But now, the Old One, the former head of this planet's Pharmaceutical Association, was able to get his hands on a Space gate of such large capacity.

Philip shook off his thoughts as he started organizing the city guards on the walls.

After Sam's project was completed, every city has Impact cannons on its city walls and Sam's city has even more of them.

Around the city, the wall is completely mounted with Impact cannons and the shooters already took positions ready to attack.

After the initial panic everyone already calmed down. Even the numbers didn't seem as scary as when they first appeared.

Philip gave a signal to shoot and the barrage of Impact Shells started hitting the white-robed swarm of people.

They don't seem to care about the attacks though, they are still blindly charging as if their life depended on it and there is one more thing Philip noticed.

Whenever a follower is on verge of dying, the nearest follower is absorbing the energy off of that person and that person who was supposed to die is becoming undead and was being thrown at the city to cause an undead explosion.

"Don't stop after you hit a vital shot, if you see a dying man, shoot him one more time. Don't show any mercy."

Along with the impact shells, there is a shower of Methane grenades that are being thrown at the crowd occasionally.

Just like that, the two thousand people are being easily made short work of with the cannons and weapons within an hour. The war didn't even cross the city wall and was almost over. There are some followers who grew their cultivation within the battle who survived the normal grenades and they are too loose for the Impact shells.

A special team led by a Nascent stage cultivator is targeting them to finish them off.

Arc who saw the whole scenario felt extremely relieved and he took off on his beast to leave the Imperial Capital.

He came on his transcendent beast to save some time off. He would return to the Imperial capital within two days if he went on full speed.

But as soon as Arc left, the situation took another turn.

Even though the situation under the wall was completely under their control, there is a sudden change in the atmosphere, and before they realize there is an explosion near the train station.

Philip has already given orders to stop the train services for the time being and the trains are in the stations without any passengers.

When they heard the sudden explosion, they felt extremely panicky.

Watt who is the nearest to the station went on the Silver wind to look at the situation and when he reached the place, he could confirm that these are the signs of an undead explosion.

But the problem is how did the person enter this deep inside the city.

The answer to their question soon came. While Watt was still hovering over the air, he saw a white-robed person appear out of nowhere and explode a few meters away from him.

Luckily, he was alert enough and was able to move far enough to be out of the explosion range.

He immediately called Philip and Jack to report the situation.

"They are using the Space gate to throw the undead in the city. The explosion in the station is caused by that."

"Damn it, Watt go and check up on Sam and see if he is showing any signs of waking up. We have to activate the city restrictions and fully activate the formations, but only he would be able to do it, instantly, we would take too much time.

If he didn't wake up, ask Sirona to check up on his situation."

Philip said to Watt, before concentrating back on the city wall.

After once more organizing the place, he went back into the city, to activate the city restrictions.

One-way Space gates do have their own drawbacks and he learned about them when they are in the thunder-god temple. When he learned that they are going to go to the beast faction through a one-way space gate, he did his research and found out many things.

Unless there is a certain mark left by the Space-gate maker, there is no way for a one way Space-gate to ignore the Physical restrictions that are formed due to the formations.

Philip, Watt, and Jack are extremely busy because they do have some restrictions which they can activate, but it wouldn't cover the whole city. Those restrictions cannot cover the top portion of the city, they are mostly restrictions that are covering small areas within the city.

But they are still activating them as fast as they can.

But after a few minutes, they started panicking. Watt who is nearest to the tower and was about to reach Sam's room halted in his tracks.

Because, this time, the undead are falling off of the sky. And they are falling in extremely random spots.

They are feeling desperate. But at this exact moment, the dome of the tower opened ad a large glass Sphere was revealed to everyone. The sunlight is falling over the glass sphere majestically as it shone brilliantly all over the city.

All of a sudden, light beams emerged from the sphere and hit all the undead that are falling down.

Before they could even touch the ground, almost half of their body is evaporated by the laser beam that came out of the tower.

Philip, Watt, and Jack felt extremely relieved. They knew who could have done that and they are extremely excited.

They immediately made their way towards the tower.

At this moment, the formation of the whole city was activated with the tower as the core and several layers of restrictions could be seen forming over as all the defensive formations are activated in an instant.

A few minutes ago.

Sam who is emitting the Black smoke and body undergoing some phenomenon, suddenly opened his eyes.

But when he opened his eyes, he felt his whole body was weak and turned vigilant to his surroundings. He doesn't remember anything except for the fact that he used the Shadow world transverse and was corroded by the shadow world energy.

The last thing he remembered was checking his own body before bringing Watt, Philip, and Jack out of the divine dimension.

He doesn't know when he would wake up or where would he wake up.

But he expected himself to be stuck in some unfamiliar environment and woke up with just those thoughts,

But as soon as he opened his eyes, he was in an extremely familiar environment. Particularly, within his room.

As he was trying to make sense of the situation, he noticed that he wasn't able to use his spiritual energy. As soon as he is activating the spiritual energy it was completely dispersed all over his body.

Then only he noticed that there is a weird formation placed on him.

The first thing he did is remove the formation and look at a mirror.

When he looked at himself, he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself. His face looked extremely weak and his muscle-mass was completely gone. He became pale and weak and looked extremely sickly.

While he was thinking of himself, he thought of calling the trio, but before he could do that, he looked outside the window and noticed that somethings are falling off the sky.

When he keenly observed, he noticed that they are human bodies. He doesn't know what exactly they are and why are they falling, but he understood they are bad news.

So, he immediately made his move and used one of the tower's attacking measures to make a move on them.

Then he activated all the formation defense restrictions of the city and finally looked for his communication token to contact his friends.
