Chapter 2230

But there was also no situation of any lord being invaded.

Two hours quickly passed.

It was already daylight.

But still no new developments.

However, at this moment, the voice of Regiment Commander Yao Feng rang out again.

It was still a forced broadcast.

【Attention, everyone!】

【I am Yao Feng. The werewolves have invaded through a spatial rift this time, and for now they are only targeting River Valley Town】

【The werewolves seem to have mastered a certain ability to cross-reference coordinates, allowing them to pinpoint locations from within the spatial rift】

【We don't know how they've done it for now, but one thing is certain — the time we have left is running out】

【We are in urgent consultation on a response. From here on, all lords please monitor messages at all times】

【If you have any questions, contact your superior lord immediately】

They can do that?

The coordinates inside the spatial rift are scrambled.

Although once inside it feels like a stable rift world, it's very hard to match up with territories in the greater world.

The werewolves have some capable people on their side too.

For now only River Valley Town has been attacked…

River Valley Town…

Damn it, the Zhao family is all over there!

Zhao Chi's brows furrowed, and his heart tightened as well.

He had a bad premonition.

River Valley Town's personnel deployment was about the same as Cliff Edge Town, even a bit stronger.

After all, that place counts as the front line.

It was garrisoned by Vice Regiment Commander Fu Jianxing, as well as Captain-General Peng Qian, and five Vice Captain-Generals.

And the strongest Captain, Shangguan Ting.

But even so…

They definitely couldn't hold off the werewolves.

Zhao Chi's feelings toward the Zhao family weren't all that deep, but since the Zhao family had shown him kindness, he couldn't remain indifferent.

But what could he do right now?

Even though Zhao Chi's combat power was now 500,000, the werewolves' top combat power was in the tens of millions.

Werewolves with combat power in the millions were not few either.

And River Valley Town was to the east — right now he couldn't get there at all.

It was truly beyond his power to help.

At this moment, Li Ruanyu sent a message.

Li Ruanyu 【Zhao Chi, syncing you on the latest news and situation. Don't spread it for now, or it could cause panic. And there are definitely other werewolf spies on our side — we can't let them know】

Zhao Chi 【Of course!】

Li Ruanyu 【First, the bad news: Vice Regiment Commander Fu Jianxing and Captain-General Peng Qian, who were stationed at River Valley Town, have both died in battle】

Zhao Chi was stunned.

Zhao Chi 【No way? The Vice Regiment Commander and Captain-General over there are both dead? That fast?】

Li Ruanyu 【The werewolves invaded with overwhelming numerical superiority. Vice Regiment Commander Fu was very strong, but… the werewolves were clearly stronger, and multiple stronger werewolves invaded at the same time. No matter how strong Vice Regiment Commander Fu was, he couldn't hold them off】

Damn…

Last time Zhao Chi saw Vice Regiment Commander Jiang Chen's combat power, it was 7.71 million — truly extremely strong.

And Vice Regiment Commander Fu Jianxing's combat power was a bit higher, which was why he was sent to the more forward River Valley Town.

So Vice Regiment Commander Fu Jianxing's combat power should be over 8 million.

But that was useless.

The werewolves were clearly stronger.

And much stronger.

Last time Zhao Chi saw werewolves with combat power over 10 million, several with over 9 million, and even more in the 7–8 million range.

Several werewolves of that caliber combined could indeed quickly overwhelm Fu Jianxing.

And the Captain-General's combat power was around 5 million.

Last time he saw Captain-General Guan Zhiyong's combat power was 5.52 million.

Actually extremely strong too.

But… in the face of a wolf pack, it still wasn't enough.

Zhao Chi 【How are the others? How many more people have been invaded by werewolves?】

Li Ruanyu 【What you're asking is the rare good news. It seems the werewolves have a limited number of invasions each time — for now they can only invade two territories simultaneously】

Zhao Chi 【Only two? Lucky it's not a large number】

Li Ruanyu 【The number isn't large, but the werewolves are clearly invading in order from strongest to weakest】

Zhao Chi 【How are the Vice Captain-Generals?】

Li Ruanyu 【This is what I wanted to tell you too. Two Vice Captain-Generals have also been invaded and are currently in battle. Of the remaining three Vice Captain-Generals, two have already surrendered, and one is temporarily safe, but… it should be his turn very soon】

Zhao Chi 【…】

Some have already surrendered.

Makes sense.

They're just lords, after all.

If they can't win, surrendering is perfectly normal.

Plenty of lords have surrendered before — the werewolves have taken in quite a few human lords too.

Zhao Chi could understand, but he still felt helpless about it.

Two more are still fighting, but it's obvious they'll be defeated soon as well.

Either die in battle.

Or surrender too.

Of course, they could run — if the realm lock hadn't sealed them in.

But running is futile; werewolves are everywhere, there's nowhere to run.

Li Ruanyu 【The captain-level lords are about to be wiped out, and then it'll be the vice-captain level's turn】

Zhao Chi 【Then... the first to go should be Shangguan Ting, right?】

Li Ruanyu 【Exactly, it has to be her. After her, the other vice-captains — including your village's Qi clan patriarch, Qi Hengying】

Zhao clan patriarch Zhao Shizhang isn't a captain, only a vice-captain.

He'll be further back in line.

But it'll still be his turn soon enough.

【Li Ruanyu】:

【It's now clearly confirmed that the werewolves can pinpoint our territory coordinates and invade through spatial rifts】

【We don't know how the werewolves are doing it, or whether this kind of invasion is temporary or can be sustained】

【We also don't know if this invasion can only target River Valley Town, or if it can target lords in other locations】

【In any case, we can't wait any longer】

【We're currently discussing an evacuation plan】
