Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Cutting Off Their Escape Route

"Hurry, speed up, and get this batch of Gold Coins out as soon as possible—we don’t have that much time."

"Everyone, accelerate! If you fall behind, get ready for a fate worse than death." A person vigorously lashed a whip, and if anyone dared to shirk, they’d promptly be on the receiving end, with no mercy shown.

The slaves and laborers had already pushed their Strength to the limit, but it was impossible to go beyond their own limits.

"It’s bad, there are ships approaching from outside, they’re enemies."

With a piercing scream, the alarm bells were rung, one after another.

Many were bewildered and didn’t catch on at once, but some had already entered a state of battle readiness.

"Those bastards really don’t want to let us leave, everyone get ready to fight."

"The ones at the back, no slacking off—keep working. This war is none of your business. If you’re slow, you won’t even need the enemy—I’ll see to your end myself." Saying this, that person cut down a worker who had passed by.

At this moment, they didn’t care about anyone’s status—rules had gone out the window.

Normally one could kill a slave but had to pay compensation. But now, they didn’t hesitate to kill even the Free People’s laborers. Who would have thought things would come to this?

"Hmph, if it weren’t for the fact that we planned to return and continue ruling over them, why would we treat them so gently?"

Indeed, in their minds, this was already being very gentle.

But then, the naval battle at sea showed them just how wrong they were.

"How could this be! Damn it, how can they have such powerful forces? Weren’t all their forces over in the west and on land?" They realized instantly that they were no match for their opponents.

The enemy’s Heavy Warships were simply too numerous, each one brimming with energy.

The cannons from afar had already started firing before they could get close. Then they noticed that some of the Heavy Transport Ships were also unleashing attacks. These were ships they were familiar with, as they could afford to buy them.

The Heavy Transport Ships weren’t built for attack, so the actual offensive capability must be coming from elsewhere.

"It’s those catapults, Elemental Catapults, damn it, they’ve actually mounted them on the ships."

The Heavy Transport Ships were larger than the Heavy Warships and had a much flatter surface, allowing them to mount even more Elemental Catapults.

Hence, at this moment, these transport ships were exhibiting combat power several times greater than that of the warships.

"Air force, the air force, destroy them from above!" Someone remembered their air strength—the Griffin Knights had already started to take flight. But they had not anticipated that the enemy ships would also have Griffin Knights.

They had just taken flight when they realized that the enemy seemed to have more Griffin Knights.

Moreover, during the confrontation, it was evident that the opponent’s Griffin Knights were stronger. Among them were even those at Gold level, overall far superior to their side.

"We’ve been tricked, utterly deceived."

Their Territory had not reached city level and didn’t have a Hero Training Tower, so they were unaware of how quickly Fang Jie’s Hero Units were produced, nor did they understand how swiftly Hero Units could improve during war.

Initially, the Gold-level Griffin Knights had been concealed.

Now, with no need for concealment, they were all suddenly brought to bear, becomes the final straw that broke the camel’s back.

Those who were once confident started to panic.

Some took advantage of the chaos to secretly flee, some began to steal, and even others crazily started to slaughter each other. Old grudges, in such circumstances, erupted violently.

Across the island, fleeing groups were hastily heading toward the sea.

"Darn it, the Island Master has been captured, what should we do now?" The Island Master was also their patriarch, and since they had not followed the same escape route, they were still around—obviously, because each family had a large number of people.

"Even the Island Master has been captured? It seems the situation is truly irretrievable. Damn it, how did Quisha Island manage to ally with so many strong Humans—and why did those Humans betray us?"

"It might be because of the special alignment within the camp. I’ve heard some Undead Spirit Gods can tolerate natural beings."

"Enough, stop blabbering and run for it—destroy the local Territory and leave."

"It’s bad, we’ve received word from the Coastal area, our ships have been blocked and most have been destroyed." Suddenly, a messenger arrived, specifically to deliver Coastal intelligence.

"What did you say? What happened? Why so soon?"

"They say a massive fleet suddenly appeared on the coast, more numerous than when they attacked the shore. Additionally, they have a vast air force and Elemental Catapults mounted on the ships."

No further explanation was needed; they knew what had happened.

With such a formation attacking, they would certainly meet the same fate as the enemy if the roles were reversed.

"Wait, what about the other docks? We have a lot of them on the east side, and what about the north side? There should be quite a few there, too."

"Report, sir, according to the intelligence, nearly all the docks were attacked at almost the same time. Moreover, they are being blockaded by numerous Three-masted Sailing Ships, and many places can’t get their reports out. They can only take the land route."

Everyone’s heart sank further.

"What do we do? What should we do now?"

"Damn it, had we known, we should’ve destroyed every city—nothing should have been left for them." They regretted it, as they had not expected things to escalate to this extent.

They had many fallback plans, destroyed all the special Territories and were waiting to cause chaos in Kapala Island from the shadows.

That way, they could also have the opportunity to return to this place and retake control of Kapala Island.

But who could have predicted that the enemy would have the capacity to cut off their retreat, implying they could no longer escape? In the end, very few would likely get away; what use were their backup plans then?

With fewer who escaped, it was impossible to return. Those allies of the past would no longer be likely to help them.

If they had known, they would have destroyed everything. But now, it was too late.

"Hurry, let’s head straight for the coast, there might still be a chance. Time is pressing—the later we escape, the slimmer our chances." Suddenly, an elder shouted, then directed people to start evacuating.

"You’re right, throw away the unnecessary supplies. There’s no time to destroy anymore." Survival was now paramount.
