Chapter 452: Battle at the Docks

Facing Margaret's question, Diana answered very resolutely and decisively.

Knowledge Witch: "Ignore them."

Poison Witch: "Are you sure?"

Susie asked, seemingly to confirm.

Knowledge Witch: "Out of hundreds of thousands to a million transmigrators, can you guarantee there are no people belonging to these invaders and traitors among them?"

...

Everyone fell silent.

First it was the Snowman Race rebelling and killing the stationed witch, then it was the Featherfolk and Dwarf-folk...

Right now, there were over thirty such small races in the entire Forsaken Territory. They truly didn't dare to imagine whether there would be other races rebelling later.

After all, it was them who formulated the plan to accept these races back then.

Now that these races rebelled, they couldn't blame others, only their own poor judgment of character.

So.

Since even these races had rebelled, who could guarantee that no one among the other transmigrators had rebelled?

Actually, Diana's guess was correct.

Right now, let alone Typhon City, other places were also successively coming under attack.

It's just that compared to the Forsaken City and the seaport, those towns actually became the focus of the rebel army's attention.

After all, compared to the three major cities in the Forsaken Territory, these towns didn't have independent protective barriers, and the number of witches living there wasn't small either, so they could be considered extremely high-quality attack targets.

However, the ones attacking such places were only the allied forces of the small races in the Forsaken Territory.

For those witches living in the towns, as long as it wasn't a sneak attack, there was at least a high probability of having a chance to escape.

But in the three major cities, it was a bit troublesome.

The ones here were invaders.

They were guys who came over riding teleportation arrays from who knows where.

Calculating based on the ability to simultaneously teleport 10 people from one area to another per second, that's 600 people in one minute.

And it wasn't even known when the teleportation had started.

So right now, the three major cities were flooded with countless invaders teleported from the outside.

After the Featherfolk appeared, as if they had received some kind of signal, they rushed out from all corners of the city, wielding weapons and magic to indiscriminately destroy and plunder the city.

...

Bang!

A merman with black scales and red fins holding a pitchfork was headshotted by a gun the moment he dashed from the sea onto the deck.

"Hey, hey, what's with these guys!"

Shang Chuan stood on the ship holding a gun, constantly attacking the Merfolk climbing up from all around.

And behind him was Elwell, also holding guns in her hands.

She was still using the dual pistols Lan Qingyou had given her back then. Compared to the short gun in Shang Chuan's hand, which looked remarkably like the Demon-Bane Holy Flame, not only was her output higher, but her firing rate was also faster.

"Just now, a warning came from Typhon City saying there was a rebellion by small races, and invaders are destroying the city."

"Ah? Why?"

People are actually rebelling? And there are invaders?

So it seems these Merfolk are also a race participating in the rebellion.

No wonder they suddenly launched an attack on the seaport just now, even causing him to lose two cargo ships.

How long has it been since Lan Qingyou disappeared, and this kind of thing actually happened?

Shang Chuan couldn't understand it.

He couldn't understand where the point of conflicting interests lay.

After all, attacking the entire Forsaken Territory like this was equivalent to provoking the entire Witch race.

He couldn't understand, he truly couldn't understand what the guys who started this battle wanted.

"They said someone wants the blood of us witches."

Elwell raised her hand and killed two Merfolk with two shots, providing the answer.

"What do they want your blood for?"

"Don't know, but Diana guessed it might be to use as material for making evolution items."

"..."

Shang Chuan was speechless.

Of course he knew about materials for evolution items; as a merchant, he himself had some on hand.

But he never expected that someone would actually target Evolvers.

However, thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make some sense.

After all, if the blood of ancient bloodlines could be used as material, then using the blood of Evolvers as material seemed unobjectionable.

But if that was the case, then not only the Witch race, the blood of other races should also be able to be used as material.

Tsk tsk...

Thinking of this, Shang Chuan was sweating profusely.

If this opening was truly created, then from now on, the entire Karim Continent would probably become a grand stage of greed and vendettas.

This opening couldn't be created, but...

"It's said that outside the territory, over thirty such incidents have already occurred. Even someone among the Witch Coven members in the Forsaken Territory fell victim."

"..."

The opening had already been created.

No.

It should be said that Pandora's box had already been opened.

Whatever the Forsaken Territory looked like now, the entire Karim Continent would look like that later. Shang Chuan saw this more clearly than anyone else.

"Elwell, will you have problems by yourself?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Send messages to people to talk about what's happening here."

"Tsk, then retreat into the cabin."

After taking a look, Elwell immediately found a place for Shang Chuan and then escorted him to take cover.

"Hurry up, I probably won't be able to hold them off for long."

Saying so, Elwell opened her card and then threw it to Shang Chuan, who had rushed into the cabin.

Right now, fighting wasn't just happening on the coast; various battles were breaking out constantly on land and in the air.

One side had planned it for a long time, while the other side found it baffling, but no matter what, the battle would definitely be a life-and-death struggle.

And as Shang Chuan's bodyguard, Elwell naturally would do her best to protect Shang Chuan's safety.

It's just that no matter how high a witch's stats were, facing the attacks of so many Merfolk and transmigrators would also be very strenuous.

This was also the reason why she didn't take Shang Chuan and fly up.

Being able to take to the skies was certainly formidable, but it depended on the person and also on talent.

Although most witches now had flying brooms, they were only limited to flying.

To want to fly and fight at the same time required a certain amount of time to practice.

After all, grasping the center of gravity and adjusting the gears both needed to be learned.

On Shang Chuan's side.

After entering the slightly safer cabin, he immediately sent a message to the group.

Moon: "@All Members, right now the entire Forsaken Territory is being attacked by unidentified individuals. Additionally, intelligence indicates there's a high probability someone covets witches' blood and wants to use it as material to make evolution items."

Sun: "?"

Empress: "?"

Moon: "@Pope, where is your fleet right now? I'm currently blocked on a cargo ship at the Abandoned Harbor."

Pope: "I'm on the east coast. I guess I won't make it in time to collect your corpse."

Moon: "..."

Star: "No, what do you mean by that attack? Explain that first."

Judgment: "I also want to know what's going on."

Facing the message Shang Chuan sent, Chu Yuan also became serious.

And Shang Chuan didn't waste words, immediately giving everyone a brief overview of what was happening in the Forsaken Territory, including basic information like the attackers' goal and their overwhelming numbers.
