Chapter 639: Chapter 404: On the Selection of Chamber Pots_1

At this moment, Sharon Mansion Prefecture City is filled with an atmosphere of panic and fear. The enormous City-Protection Talisman Array has already been activated, defending the entire city at all costs. Soldiers on the city wall are sparse, with only one person every several dozen steps. Their faces are pale as they tightly grip their weapons, as if trying to squeeze a bit of courage out of them.

Just twenty miles outside the city is a misty, gray fog that blankets the earth like a colossal canvas. It stretches so wide that its end cannot be seen, and its thickness exceeds a thousand feet, slowly yet inexorably creeping towards the city.

Just a day ago, this evil energy was seventy miles from the city. But in the course of a day and night, it had advanced fifty miles. At this rate, the entire Prefecture City would be swallowed by the evil energy by tonight!

Everyone understands that without the corresponding talismans, even the large City-Protection Talisman Array would struggle to resist the corrosion of the evil energy.

The high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants in the city had already fled. The city gates were left wide open for the people trying to escape the disaster. But there were still many people trapped in the city. These people were too impoverished that even if they escaped from the city, they would still starve to death on the road.

When the general defending the city fled, he took more than seventy percent of the city’s defensive forces with him to ensure their safety on the road, leaving the entire Prefecture City to fend for itself.

At this moment, on the city wall facing the evil energy, on the high terrace of the main gate, stood a valiant female general clad in armor. She did not wear a helmet. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail by a Magical Instrument.

Her hand rested on the railing in front of her, her gaze far-reaching, her expression indomitable.

She is Greystone, one of the three captains under the command of the city defense general. Two have already fled, only Greystone has remained behind with her soldiers.

As a soldier, it’s her duty to protect the land. Without orders from the Imperial Court, Greystone will not retreat!

Moreover, there are still many common people in the city.

The captain came forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Honor, the death squad is ready. There are a total of seventy-three people. Additionally... there has been no response to our requests for help."

Greystone nodded gently, "Have Smith’s silver pieces been given out yet?"

The captain hesitated before saying, "Several mansions and shops of rich merchants were confiscated to make up the fifty silver pieces per person from the Smith Clan. All have been given out. These rich merchants took away all the valuables they could carry before they left."

After a brief pause, he added, "Your Honor, after the families of the brothers received the silver, they immediately fled the city."

Greystone sighed quietly, "Pass my orders, the death squad gathers under the city gate. I will lead them to break through the evil energy myself!"

"Your Honor!" A few captains knelt together, "The city cannot be left without you in command. Let us go in your place!"

"Your cultivation levels are too low, it won’t make much difference if you go in." Greystone turned around and waved her hand, "Don’t try to persuade me, my mind is made up."

The city gates were flung open. Seventy-three soldiers lined up neatly. The captains frantically gathered all the armor, godly weapons, and Magical Instruments in the city and outfitted the soldiers. In the face of evil energy, any slight chance of survival would be precious.

Greystone rode on her battle beast, a long spear hanging on one side of the saddle and a longbow on the other. Holding the reins in her right hand and a helmet in her left, she sprang out of the city gate with her head held high. Once in front of the battle formation, she put on her helmet, raised her spear, and pointed at the evil energy, "Attack —"

The squad charged forward and disappeared into the dust. The twenty-mile distance was covered in half a Shichen (1 hour), after which they plunged headlong into the gray fog. They charged ahead valiantly, meeting certain death with open arms. But to the gray fog, it was barely a ripple.

The captains had red-rimmed eyes as they pounded the city wall in front them fervently.

An hour after Greystone entered the evil energy, a group of splendidly dressed elites arrived from the southeast direction, on horseback and carrying spears. Seven or eight flag bearers held up long banners that fluttered mightily.

In the center of the group was a black iron, golden-rimmed war chariot. In it, sat a young man and an old man. Seeing the soldiers guarding the city from afar, they looked surprised, "Wasn’t it said that everyone from the Prefecture City had fled? Why are there still soldiers guarding it?"

A scout leaped off a horse and flew into the city with Divine Skill. A moment later, he flew back like an eagle, landed beside the carriage on one knee, and reported, "Seventh Highness, Master Julius, it is the subordinates of Greystone, the Captain of Sharon Mansion. Only the poor people with nowhere to go are left in the city. An hour ago, Greystone led fewer than a hundred men into the evil energy, attempting to find the root of the Magic Wave and destroy it, in a bid to save Sharon Mansion city!"

The younger one in the carriage is the seventh son of the current monarch. His mother is from the current top Cultivation Clan, the Lin Ronald Clan.

The older one is Julius, the Tier-1 Officiant of East Prison Town Comfort Office, the number one expert under Lin Ronald, from the Sixth Great Realm!

The Seventh Prince sighed, "I regret that in our Great Wu Empire, there are not more people like Captain Greystone!"

Julius stroked his beard and smiled, "Your Highness appreciates this woman? An hour,... hmm... there should be enough time. Let’s go in and rescue her. With Your Highness making the offer personally, she would certainly be flattered."

The Sixth Great Realm chuckled mischievously once more, "I heard long ago that Greystone of Sharon Mansion is unparalleled in beauty and possesses exceptional talent. Perhaps, Your Highness will soon have another stunning queen, haha..."

The evil energy is besieging the city, and hundreds of thousands of people are facing the disaster. Yet here they are, talking and laughing merrily, even leisurely discussing women – this made evident the confidence the Sixth Great Realm had in dealing with the Magic Wave.
