Chapter 1446 - 648: General

As General Pan’s voice trailed off, he cast a sidelong glance at the strategist beside him.

The strategist immediately understood, dismounted, and planted a massive military flag into the ground!

"How dare you show disrespect to our General Pan! That is disrespect towards the Holy Emperor! Hurry down and receive your punishment!"

His voice was loud, resonating outwards, and in the next moment...

"Kill!!"

As if following an order, the endless army behind the strategist shouted in unison with a chilling murderous intent.

The overlapping sounds burst forth in a terrifying display of power within a moment!

Boom!!!

The violent sound wave, like a shockwave, suddenly rushed towards the city walls with a thunderous impact.

Rumble!!

The city wall, already somewhat dilapidated, vibrated intensely, with large chunks of stone and dust falling down in a cascade!

However, this was not the end.

Jinfang Zai instinctively turned his head to look.

Boom!!

The visible distorted sound wave, after piercing through the wall, went straight to the streets and workshops behind it!

The streets, originally brightly lit, were instantly plunged into darkness as candles were extinguished and fire sources snuffed out.

The previously illuminated streets were swept into darkness like by a gust of wind, causing chaos and clamor within the city.

Yet the murderous sound continued to spread; though its power weakened, unable to extinguish lights, it continued to transmit, almost covering the entire town!

Jinfang Zai’s eyes widened.

Just one shout from the entire army, and such power??

At that moment, a thought suddenly struck him.

Perhaps... the army dispatched by the Capital possesses enough strength to destroy Thunder City completely?!

Upon seeing the situation within the city, the An Family Head naturally saw it as well.

He furrowed his brows, clenched his fist slightly, took a deep breath, and addressed the army with cupped fists.

"General Pan, what is the meaning of this?"

As he spoke, several other family heads had stepped out from the darkness to stand with him.

The pressure was immense.

They had thought they could negotiate, but had not anticipated the general’s temperament would be so intense, immediately escalating to a hostile confrontation!

When forced, these old foxes have no choice but to appear and share the burden.

However, in Thunder City, everyone fears the Ten Major Families, everyone flattered the Ten Major Families.

But the foreign general was not intimidated by this.

He simply raised his eyebrows in anger, riding on the Pig Demon, his voice booming like a bell as he said loudly.

"Article thirty-six of the Great Xia laws states that within the territory of the Da Xia Dynasty, all cities, except the Imperial City, are overseen by the Master of Foolish Earth Mansion! How dare these insignificant local families overstep their bounds! Simply... unaware of heaven and earth’s vastness!!"

As he pronounced the final word, the general’s voice was so resonant that it seemed to shake the entire town!

Upon retracting his voice, Fat General had already taken down the Long Halberd from his back, raised it single-handedly, pointing it at the crowd above, his demeanor cold, and enunciated word by word.

"I ask one last time! Where is Thunder City’s Master of Foolish Earth Mansion! Let him come out to see me! Otherwise, I will treat Thunder City as if it has fallen into rebel hands! I am prepared to eliminate this place, rescue the city’s residents from their predicament!

Same bell-like voice, echoing throughout the city.

At that moment, all the city residents could hear clearly... the general is prepared to attack the city!

If the city falls and the people perish, how can ordinary folks survive??

The common residents inside the city panicked, and the family heads atop the wall had equally unsightly expressions.

Such a righteous pretext!

Such a name of rebellion!

If they were to bear such a name, their treatment would be akin to Tianyuan Town’s Demon Capital! Even if they repel this wave of troops, the Capital would continue dispatching countless battalions, each stronger than the last, gathering strength from other towns, intent on leveling this place!

This charge was too grave.

The consequences were unbearable! And unacceptable!

The family heads exchanged glances, with a few stepping back, seemingly contemplating retreat.

But they were stopped by the An Family Head’s gaze.

"The time hasn’t come yet."

Retreating to utilize the Ten Pillars would solidify this charge; even winning would amount to losing, let alone the uncertainty of victory.

Taking a deep breath, the An Family Head suppressed his anger and spoke in a low voice.

"General Pan, please calm down! We do not wish to withhold Lord of Mansion’s presence, but unfortunately, the former Master of Foolish Earth Mansion, Nan Ruweng, has once again set out for the Land of Gathering Evil [Melted Heart Cave], and currently is not within the town. However, he has entrusted a few of us to manage Thunder City, and appointed the former Foolish Earth Ming Hall Master Jinfang Zai as acting Master, to temporarily oversee multiple matters of Foolish Earth."

Having spoken to this extent, even if Jinfang Zai wanted to avoid appearing, he could only brace himself.

Stepping forward, he saluted the general below.

"Foolish Earth Ming Hall Master Jinfang Zai, greets the general!"

Seeing this, the fat general’s temper slightly eased.

The strategist beside then approached the fat general, speaking softly.

The An Family Head could not hear their conversation, but it was most likely confirming the situation.

The An Family Head felt a tinge of nervousness.

If this pig-headed general insists on assaulting Thunder City, things would become quite complicated.

The other family heads beside him were equally nervous, but their intended preparations were slightly different.

Most family heads were ready to withdraw from the city wall and rush straight to their territories, grasp the Ten Pillars, and seek self-preservation.

As soon as things appear slightly awry, they’d take action; what happens to Thunder City, they wouldn’t care.
