Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 154

A few days after Wang Wei left his seclusion, in a city far from the Great Xia Capital.

This day was supposed to be an ordinary day like every other day. The people woke up, prayed for blessings for his majesty, had breakfast then went to work.

The kids were sent to the free schools created by the Great Xia. Some went on their own family’s Flying Horse Carriage, while others took a public one. As for the less wealthy one, the school designated a special Flying Horse Carriage to take them from their home to school.

This was supposed to be a normal or average day. Unfortunately, it was not. At around noon, the entire city suddenly started trembling. At first people thought that it was a dragon moving to its back or using modern terms, an earthquake.

However, the trembling was different from that. Instead of shaking everything, the trembling seemed to be rhythmic. To be precise, it sounded like countless hoof stampeding at the same time.

Before the people of the city could react, the alarm of the city sounded, alarming the people that the city was under attack. Unfortunately, before anyone could react, the sky suddenly turned black.

When the people raised their heads, all they saw was a black mass rapidly enveloping the entire city, obscuring the clouds above them. No, it seemed to be obscuring the Heavens itself.

After closer observation, some people realized with horror that this so-called "black mass" was actually a horde of flying demonic beasts.

Before anyone could react, the flying beasts suddenly attacked all the citizens of this city. The sky then rained fire, ice, thunder, swords, and winds. Any derivations of the Five Element attacks were used by these flying beasts.

As a result of that, countless people died instantly. In just a few breaths, the casualties of this city were 100,000. On top of that, some special beasts actually used poison with a large area of attack, further increasing the casualty of the people.

The City Lord acted swiftly and had the City Guards attack these flying birds, but there were too many birds. What’s even worse, another beasts horde in the millions suddenly destroyed the city gate, then started to slaughter all the people of the city.

The City Lord sighed after seeing this as he realized that this city would not survive this attack. The City Lord regretted that his city was not one of the cities equipped with formation, otherwise the situation would not have reached such a dire strait.

However, the City Lord did not complain for long as he knew that the Great Xia could not place a City Covering Array in all the cities of its territory. The amount of resources needed for something like that is simply not possible.

So, with its last strength, the City Lord decided to send the information of what happened in his city, hoping that his majesty would send a legion to avenge him and the common people.

Unfortunately for this City Lord, he did not know that this beast tide was actually happening throughout all the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty. No, to be precise, it was happening all over the world/

Whether it was Great Zhou, Great Xia, or even the Desert Kingdoms of the Western Region, they were all suddenly attacked by hordes of demonic beasts. Obviously, this was a premeditated attack.

In the Great Xia Capital, on top of the city wall, Wang Wei looked coldly at all the millions of demonic beats lying in front of the capital.

A few hours ago, he suddenly sensed countless soul fluctuations approaching the capital, so he rushed to the city gate to watch what happened. Then, to his surprise, he saw a horde, no, an endless army of demonic beasts rushing towards the capital.

So, without hesitation, he used his True Will ability to completely killed all these beasts. Unfortunately for him, the number was so large that it still took him a few hours to kill all of them--even with the aid of the Royal Guard Legion.

Meanwhile, while Wang Wei was thinking with a frown on his face, both Li Jun and Yan Liling--who had blood of different colors all over them--walked next to him.

"It happened all over our territories, didn’t it?" asked Wang Wei without even looking at the two of them.

"Yes," replied Yan Liling with a look of sorrow in her face. "I have just received news from all over our territories that basically, the majority of cities were attacked."

"How were the casualties?"

After sighing, Yan Liling answered, "The cities that had protection arrays were relatively fine, however, the others were hit pretty hard. With the help of the flying constructs, we managed to reach certain places in time, but we still lost entire states of population, not to mention the countless towns that did not even have proper city gates."

Wang Wei did not say anything, but Li Jun sighed before saying, "I should have known something was wrong with the demonic beasts when they suddenly attacked our armies during my first first fight with Fang Lijuan."

"There is no need for you to blame yourself as even I ignore the sign of the constant activity of the demonic beasts," replied Wang Wei, before continuing, "Go called Dong Lifen."
