Chapter 493 - 493 479 Extreme Measures

Chapter 493: Chapter 479: Extreme Measures Chapter 493: Chapter 479: Extreme Measures Kong Sha didn’t know Jiang Zhuge’s intention, and asked, “Brother Jiang, what’s your plan?”

“We’re outnumbered. We can’t outlast them. But they have a weakness: a large part of them are new to this. These inexperienced folks are easier to deal with. As long as we fiercely attack this group, they would definitely be afraid. If we manage to drive this group back, the pressure will quickly lessen,” Jiang Zhuge suggested.

After hearing this, Kong Sha said, “I’ll handle this group.”

Jiang Zhuge continued, “They’re simply buoyed by the fact that they outnumber us. But, they are disorganized. Once we drive this group back, their morale will drop.”

“Then there’s nothing more to discuss,” Kong Sha agreed.

Can Mo said, “I will send these people to the back.”

“Yes, do it quickly. Move them to the back promptly.” Jiang Zhuge turned to Kong Sha, “You need to get organised fast. Prepare all the Winged Dragons and mutant beasts. Also, gather our best martial artists to assemble in the center.” He believed that driving back the central group would lighten their burden.

Indeed, after their preparations, they launched a fierce attack on the central group.

Despite being intimidated by Xiao Bai, this group did not dare retreat. Their lack of experience was evident when compared with the New City Sect’s fighters. The deficiency was quickly exposed.

They were screaming for mercy.

Chen Jiu, Xiao Bai’s right-hand man, felt like watching a slaughter. He hurried back to inform Xiao Bai, “It seems they figured out that most of our inexperienced men are in the centre. This can’t go on. Even though our men dare not retreat, they are being cut down like cabbage, a bunch of cowards.”

Before he knew it, it was almost dark.

Xiao Bai also saw the problem and could only order their withdrawal.

“They’re specifically targeting our students. Although our students dare not retreat, it’s a fact that they lack experience and stand no chance against them,” Chen Jiu stated.

“This bookworm actually has some skills,” Xiao Bai muttered.

“So, what should we do?”

“Don’t worry, I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve. Let’s see if he can handle it”, said Xiao Bai confidently. He had to make the New City Sect regret driving him out.

Finally, the force of the Third Demon was driven back.

They managed to hold off the first day’s attack.

Jiang Zhuge sighed in relief, though he knew Xiao Bai wouldn’t let them have a quiet night.

…

This time, Gua Zhengnie of Sky Domain City didn’t show up, but he kept an eye on Wasteland City.

Gui Lang, his right-hand man, knew what he worried about, “Alliance Leader, are you worried about that Ye Chen guy?”

“He’s a talent. You’ve seen how formidable the Mutant Winged Dragon is. This guy outsmarted and defeated the dragon. Do you think he’s easy to deal with?” said Gua Zhengnie.

“Give me fifty men, and I assure you, he’s dead,” said Gui Lang confidently, knowing Ye Chen had few men.

Exactly what Gua Zhengnie wanted to hear. Regardless of whether Ye Chen could be killed, he didn’t want Ye Chen to return to Wasteland City before Xiao Bai breached it. He said, “Your mission is not to kill him. I don’t want him to reach Wasteland City before Xiao Bai breaches it.”

“In my opinion, he doesn’t have much ability. Those folks outside are just exaggerating.”

“No matter if he is really capable or not, just in case.” Gua Zhengnie glanced at him.

“An individual’s power is limited. He only brought a dozen or so men. He can’t make any big waves,” Gui Lang stated.

“In that case, if you can kill him, that’s great. If you can’t, at least stop him from returning to Wasteland City.”

“Rest assured, I definitely won’t let him return to Wasteland City before it’s breached.”

“All right, go and prepare.”

…

In Wasteland City, the night was indeed restless, but Jiang Zhuge was well-prepared.

Xiao Bai, using the secret passage to break in, only managed to tire out Jiang Zhuge’s men overnight, without gaining any advantage. By then, Jiang Zhuge had already moved the civilians to the back. They released monsters to run amok in the city. Jiang Zhuge could not call for more men as most of them were guarding the city walls. He barely managed to hold out by utilizing monsters against the monsters, but it was hard to keep things in the city safe.

For now, they can’t worry about that. They’ll have to find a way to hold out.

Xiao Bai exclaimed, “Damn scholar, I didn’t expect he’d become so sensible all of a sudden. He actually gave up on the civilians. I can’t believe it.”

“I saw it long ago that he was feigning kindness,” Chen Jiu responded.

“Well, I underestimated him, huh.”

His plan of causing chaos in the city was seen through by Jiang Zhuge.

Chen Jiu said, “It seems that Jiang Zhuge isn’t falling for this trick, we need to come up with another plan.”

“I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve. If this one doesn’t work, I have others. We’re just getting started.” Xiao Bai said.

“They’re using a herd of mutant beasts to deal with the monsters we sent through the secret tunnel into the city, and it seems like they’ve given up on saving the buildings.”

Kuang Shen said, “It’s not that they’ve given up, they just don’t have enough manpower.”

Zun Yu glanced at Xiao Bai and asked, “Brother Xiao, you mentioned that you have other approaches?”

Xiao Bai replied, “Unless they no longer need to drink water.”

“Drink water, what does that mean?”

“You didn’t know? The water in Wasteland City comes from the mountains upstream.” Xiao Bai said.

“What are you implying, Brother Xiao?”

“I have prepared poison. I just need the Winged Dragon to help me take the poison upstream to the mountains, and throw the poison into the water source. The poisoned water will flow downstream.” Xiao Bai explained.

Chen Jiu interrupted, “Poisoning these bastards. Let’s see how they fight without water.”

“That indeed is a clever idea but quite cruel.” Zun Yu was somewhat shocked. He hadn’t expected Xiao Bai to be so ruthless to resort to using poison. After all, Xiao Bai was once a member of the New City Sect.

Kuang Shen said, “I think it’s feasible. As long as we can defeat the New City Sect, we don’t care about the means. With these people from the New City Sect, we don’t need to hold back.”

Everyone quickly agreed.

In the New City Sect, several disciples started showing symptoms of poisoning.

Kong Sha was still confused, but Jiang Zhuge quickly realized what was happening, shouting, “Don’t drink any water from the river, it’s poisoned.”

Immediately, panic spread throughout Wasteland City.

Kong Sha was puzzled and asked, “How is it possible? Who would poison the water?”

Jiang Zhuge explained, “Our water comes from the mountains. Xiao Bai knew this. He must have used the Winged Dragon to carry the poison to the mountain top and poison our water.”

Kong Sha roared, “That damned Xiao Bai, resorting to such unethical means. Is there no justice? Is he still human?”

Jiang Zhuge quickly ordered some people to stop others from drinking the water from the river.

Kong Sha shook his head, “How can he be so cruel? Where are we supposed to get drinking water now?”

“From the wells. Let them drink the water from the wells.” Jiang Zhuge replied.

“We have dozens of poisoned disciples, and many civilians too. Xiao Bai is continuously sending monsters through the secret tunnels, and there are too many of them for us to block. What should we do?” Can Mo became anxious.

Jiang Zhuge was hearing cries of those poisoned, and continuous appearances of monsters from underground. He had no idea when Xiao Bai had dug so many tunnels.

“We need to figure out a way to block these monsters coming from underground, or we won’t be able to hold them off. We are seriously short of disciples, and the city is becoming more chaotic.” Can Mo said.

“Yes, so many of our disciples have been poisoned,” Kong Sha added.

Jiang Zhuge thought for a moment, “Let’s divert the water from the lake.”

Kong Sha was puzzled, “Divert the water from the lake? Into the city? What do you mean? Flood the city?”

At that moment, Can Mo seemed to have understood something.

Jiang Zhuge explained, “Yes, flood the city. We can’t seal off the tunnel entrances now, and we don’t know the network of tunnels. But water flows downhill. As long as we divert the water into the city, it can flood all the underground tunnels through their entrances, and no monsters would be able to get in.”

“But wouldn’t we get flooded? Do we still keep Wasteland City?” Kong Sha questioned.

“No, let’s abandon everything.” Jiang Zhuge couldn’t think of a better solution. He couldn’t let Xiao Bai and Zun Yu capture Wasteland City, so even though the solution wasn’t optimal, he said, “After all, the city is already in ruins. We might as well give up, and see who can outlast the other.”

“Good, let’s abandon everything and fight them to the end. Let’s see what other tricks Xiao Bai has up his sleeve.” Kong Sha took a group of men to West Lake and opened a breach, letting the lake water flood the city. The entire city was flooded, and people could now swim inside the city.

The water from the lake filled the city and flooded the secret tunnels as well.

Chen Jiu quickly told Xiao Bai about what happened in the city. Xiao Bai was shocked. He hadn’t expected Jiang Zhuge to be so ruthless as to flood the city, not caring if he’d also drown himself.

Chen Jiu said, “The secret tunnels we left have been submerged by the water in the city. The beasts and people can’t enter the city through those tunnels anymore.”

“A scholar with real bite. Quite ruthless of him,” Xiao Bai said.

“We poisoned quite a few of them, but Jiang Zhuge has figured it out. The city’s flood isn’t beneficial for our siege. The water in the city is now person-height.”

Zun Yu was shocked and remarked, “Who cares? We are outside, they are inside. They are the ones being flooded, we aren’t suffering.”

Xiao Bai nodded, “You’re absolutely correct, they’re the ones being flooded. They’re running out of water now. We’ll starve them out, let’s see what they do.”
