Chapter 79: The Mastermind

Chen Zhi really does not like this kind of chaos in the city, even though he is the spokesperson for Calamity.

After seeing the situation at the fortress, he is not worried that Tana City will be breached, but the situation inside the city makes him feel it is overly chaotic.

It could even be said that the Barbarians have not brought too much disaster to Tana City; rather, it is the people within Tana City themselves.

Who could have imagined that those vagrants, who usually pose no threat at all, could make Tana City descend into chaos in an instant?

This is simply...

Not right...

He immediately realized something; at this time, most people would choose to escape. Whether it is leaving Tana City or finding someone who can protect them, both are normal phenomena.

How could it be that just as there are signs of an attack and the Guard Team has just left, the city immediately falls into chaos?

Those guards would not leave a chaotic Tana City to the Wealth Church, which does not have sufficient manpower, without any preparation.

"How long have you both been here?" Chen Zhi knows that he still has two people he can ask, which are the two menial workers in front of him.

These two people do not yet know what has happened outside; they just don't know why they keep making mistakes while copying accounts, forcing them to start over.

There is no help for it; Andrew still has too few people under him who can write, so this work must be handed to these two, and with the Lord of Calamity present, these two captives work more diligently.

Heinke almost looked up to take a look at this Lord of Calamity, but fortunately, he withdrew his gaze in time, "I have lived in Tana City for more than thirty years."

"I have been here for five years," Susan replied respectfully.

"Do the Barbarians come to attack every year?" Chen Zhi asked.

Susan nodded, "In the five years I have been here, they have come to attack once every winter. Calculating the time, it is almost time now."

"Could it be that the Barbarians have attacked inside? Impossible, it has been defended very steadily every year."

"Does the Guard Team leave the city district entirely every year? Won't the city district be chaotic?"

Susan asked, clearly somewhat flustered: "The Guard Team has left the city district?"

"Occasionally, this situation does happen. Sometimes when too few soldiers are recruited in the city that year, the Guard Team will be dispatched. After all, too many problems have occurred this year, and the population of Tana City has even decreased by fifty or sixty thousand, so... it is not strange for this situation to occur," Heinke said, "But in most cases, there will be no mishaps in the city, because the residents of the city know that Tana City can be defended, and the usual propaganda is also like this."

Heinke does not yet know that a large number of things in the two shops he gave to Andrew have already been smashed.

Those rioters are completely unlike how they were before, as if they have become zombies.

Even when beaten down by the players, they still display a look of madness.

At this time, not only the players, but the Gold Ties also realized the problem.

There is no reason for everyone to go crazy at the same time, and without giving people a moment to react.

On the Clock Tower, the man overlooking the entire Tana City wiped the bloodstains on his hands.

His eyes were dim and his gaze was restrained, as if the scene before him was something he was unwilling to see.

"We don't have much time." The woman beside him stroked the Item in her arms; the Item was pitch black and had fallen into a peaceful sleep, only its mouth was constantly muttering something.

It was just that there was no sound, or rather, no one could hear this sound.

The man turned his head back and sighed, saying: "If we can take Tana City, the residents here will also be ours."

"But they are not now. You really should have become a witch instead of having the bloodline of the Barbarians flowing in you," the woman snorted coldly, "I only need to find the Gallows so that the Item in my arms can become a Container, but your speed is truly too slow."

The witches have exhausted their strength to fight for opportunities for these Barbarians.

Yet they did not fight for opportunities as she had imagined.

The man in front returned to indifference, his face recovering an unnatural smile, "But the person who lost such an important item was not me, but you yourselves. Don't forget, it is we who are helping you now."

"If it weren't for you insisting on waiting until winter to attack, how could it have been lost!" the witch Laina said viciously, "And that damned woman, actually attempting to become a Container herself, she doesn't even look at what kind of thing she is!"

"Sigh, I can see it now, it is neither in the Municipal Building nor the Chamber of Commerce," the man ignored the woman's anger and said with a smile, "It is not in the university either."

"Then where did that thing go? Would they hand it over to the Sanctuary so quickly? Those people from the Wealth Church..." the woman said viciously, then squeezed the Item in her hand tightly, "Damn Wealth Church, I will make them pay the price."

"If we could attack inside, we could search carefully, but I see that time is running out," the man smiled slightly, "So, I might not be able to continue helping you search."

Laina's face turned dark, and she said to him: "Neo, you said you would definitely help me find it."

"Hehehehe, I didn't say I would definitely help you find it right now." After finishing, the man leaped, and it is unknown how he did it, but he actually jumped directly to the ground, unscathed.

Only then did the witch realize that something was wrong.

Or rather, she had overlooked one thing.

This man was already running away, but had left her here!

The people from the Golden Church have already discovered the person on the Clock Tower; if one must control the situation in Tana City, the Clock Tower is the best choice.

After all, the entire Tana City does not have any decent high-rise buildings; only the Clock Tower is the most suitable place.

Just as the man jumped down, Feng had already brought Feng Buxi and the others to the top of the Clock Tower.

And watched helplessly as that man escaped.

As for that witch, she had not yet had time to use various methods to slip away.

"Turn Stone into Gold." Feng's face turned green, and he directly used this method that consumes power, taking two steps in one, and touched the witch's broom.

That magical broom instantly turned into a golden broom and could no longer float.

The Item in the witch's arms suddenly let out a wailing cry, and several Gold Ties, including Feng Buxi, also followed suit and cried out.

The players gathered downstairs could not stop their tears either.

This game is too excessive; even the feeling of sadness seems real, but it is clearly just a game...

Feng Buer, who was also shedding tears, once again pulled that gold-made cloth bag from his body and opened it in an instant.

This is the only chance to bind this witch.
