Chapter 578: Disaster of the Undead Ruler

Edited by Aelryinth

Fei Jiao ignored Jiang Li, who was trying to fawn upon him, and went up to Mo Fan.

“I was the one who contacted you, Zhang Xiaohou is my student,” Fei Jiao wore a smile. It was obvious that he had received the latest news from Mo Fan.

“Oh, oh, sorry; I didn’t recognize your voice,” Mo Fan smiled awkwardly.

Mo Fan did contact him through the phone, yet to his surprise, the guy looked fairly young despite his aged voice. He was in his thirties, yet he was already the Chief Military Instructor of the Ancient Capital military. This Fei Jiao was definitely no ordinary person!

“It’s fine. To be honest, I was quite impressed; no one would dare go there within a year knowing that a Dark Abyss has appeared, but you went, and you even brought my student back...” said Fei Jiao.

“Was? I bet you didn’t know an outsider like me had no idea what a Dark Abyss was!” replied Mo Fan.

“HAHAHA! I didn’t mean that, but my student didn’t mention you only once. His admiration of you greatly surpassed that toward me and other instructors here. But, you’re no ordinary person yourself either; I’ve heard many stories about you,” Fei Jiao extended his hand and gave Mo Fan a friendly handshake.

There were at least forty Magicians in the room, with the majority of them being Intermediate Magicians. There were also a few Advanced Magicians, too. They could not help but wonder who the kid was. Not only did the Councilman know him, even the Chief Military Instructor of the Ancient Capital was complimenting him, yet it seemed like he was only an Intermediate Magician based on his badge!

Mo Fan wore a humble smile, yet he realized that the people nearby were looking at him with envy. He did not dare to chat with Fei Jiao any further and quickly switched the topic to the business at hand.

Fei Jiao took over Zhu Meng’s role and explained, “The second Dark Abyss appeared around a hundred kilometers away from the city. My student was caught in it, and almost lost his life. As for the third time... it was only thirty kilometers away from the outer walls, a place that was still considered the city’s outskirts just a little while time ago!”

“It’s getting closer every time!” said a Hunter.

“Exactly, every time the Dark Abyss appears, it’s closer to our city...”

“Didn’t they say the Dark Abyss appears in random places? Could it be a coincidence?” said Zhong Zishan.

“We do hope that it’s a coincidence, but considering that it has happened three times in a row, we have the urge to think otherwise,” said the Commander beside Zhu Meng, who had been silent for a long time.

The Commander was mainly responsible for the defense of the outer walls. Every Battlemage on the ten-plus kilometer long northern walls was under his command.

“So you’ve gathered us here to deal with the Dark Abyss? There’s no way we can do anything against it. We’re only a bunch of Intermediate Magicians,” said someone.

“The place where Dark Abyss once appeared will have a strong presence of death, so many Warrior-level or Commander-level undead will gather there fairly soon... I hope everyone here will guard the walls tonight. Once the higher-ranked undead show any signs of approaching the walls, you will eliminate them at once!” said Councilman Zhu Meng.

“I don’t mind as long as you’re not sending us to investigate the Dark Abyss,” said a student.

“Don’t worry Councilman, we might not be able to do anything to the Dark Abyss, but we’ll surely eliminate the demon beasts trying to stir up chaos when the Dark Abyss appears. It’s our job!”

“I’m fine with that, I will guard throughout the night!”

“Count me in!”

“Me too.”

The Magicians were relieved when they learned that they were not messing with the Dark Abyss.

Everyone had come to here to contribute in the war against the undead. They would not mind guarding the walls for the night. Since there were around forty Intermediate Magicians and four or five Advanced Magicians, they could still hold a Ruler-level creature off.

As everyone expressed their willingness to lend a hand, a deep roar rocked the dim sky in the north, shaking the walls vigorously!

Everyone felt a sudden pain in their ears, as if a great shockwave coming from the horizon had just slammed into the walls.

Councilman Zhu Meng, Instructor Fei Jiao and the Commander of the North Walls were startled. They immediately glanced at a black figure in the distance...

Mo Fan followed their gaze and saw the same pitch-black figure that he had seen when he first went up to the walls. This time, he was able to get a clearer look as he was closer, with a greater visual impact!

“It’s the creature again; it’s trying to break through the walls since more undead have gathered due to the Dark Abyss!” exclaimed Zhu Meng furiously.

“This is bad! The Undead Ruler is already commanding an army of ten million undead. It’s pretty much unstoppable with the Dark Abyss nearby. We have to request backup!” declared the military advisor.

“We are running out of men,” replied Commander Lu Xu.

“It won’t work, our force isn’t strong enough. The undead never stop coming! If we can’t hold the night, the northern walls will fall to the Undead Ruler, and the city’s north will be covered in blood,” stated Fei Jiao.

“It seems like we’ll have to commence the plan we decided on earlier,” Zhu Meng frowned.

“Councilman, that’s too risky! We’ll be trapped among the undead if anything goes wrong!” protested the advisor.

“Advisor Zhu, as long as I, Zhu Meng, am in this city, I will not allow a single undead to break through! We might not have enough men to defend against the invasion, but we have the chance to kill the Undead General!” promised Zhu Meng righteously.

The reason why Zhu Meng was sitting in the highest position in the country’s Magic Association was not because he was in control of many renowned families or he was supported by many factions behind the scenes, but because he would always step forward during every disaster, leading the men. It was something that the authorities rotting in their chairs in the meetings between higher-ups as they talked about stratagems on paper could never do.

He had secured his current position with his boldness!

“No way, that won’t work; if the plan fails, who’s going to take command of the walls? Everything will fall into a mess!” Advisor Zhu was definitely against the idea of putting their lives at risk.

Councilman Zhu Meng liked to lead his men in a charge, yet it did not mean he could place everyone else in danger just because he was a Councilman.

“So how do you think we’re going to stop the Phantom Tyrant Emperor’s attack?” asked Zhu Meng in return.

“We will come up with one!”

“They will be less than three kilometers away in less than an hour,” said Zhu Meng.

“I’m still against it!” Advisor Zhu had no intention of compromising.

“What if I’m included, too?” Among the Magicians that had gathered, a man in a black fur coat and sharp eyebrows stepped forward, bearing a faint, yet confident smile.

The others switched their gaze to that person. Some from the Hunter Union recognized the person straightaway, leaving them astonished.

Mo Fan glanced at the guy, and felt him to be extremely familiar!
