I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1022 - Chapter 1022 Chapter 1024 Invasion_1

Chapter 1022: Chapter 1024: Invasion_1 Chapter 1022: Chapter 1024: Invasion_1 Seeing those blood-red eyes within the black mist, even through the crystal ball, everyone felt an intense wave of evil rushing towards them.

“Damn it, this kind of presence is not something we can deal with…”

“I feel its strength is not as great as the ancient Red Dragon we encountered before, but it’s stronger than all of us present, I fear no one but the city lord can match it!”

“Nonsense, how could we, who only possess first-tier combat power, possibly deal with a being that can penetrate the Protection Black Mist?”

“Notify the City Defense Army to be on alert, activate the Magic Crystal Railguns, and be ready to fire at any moment. Initiate first-level defense!” Wang Qi issued a series of orderly commands.

The entire City of Hope, like a massive machine, slowly started to come to life, the Transmission Array was temporarily shut down, and one by one, hired NPC members of the City Defense Army took to the walls, while the massive Magic Crystal Railguns began to enter the energy-charging state.

“My lord, I believe that with the means we have at our disposal now, we can only temporarily stop it, not drive it back…” Liu Zihao whispered to Wang Qi.

As a fortune teller, Liu Zihao could accurately predict the outcome of every event, which was extremely helpful for Wang Qi, helping him make judgments beneficial to the City of Hope.

“Are you saying that the City of Hope might be destroyed because of it?” Wang Qi asked in a low voice, his brows deeply furrowed.

“No, what I mean is, we need to hold it off, the longer the better!” Liu Zihao’s forehead veins bulged, and an uncomfortable expression appeared on his face as his pupils became covered with a faint layer of white.

“It’s formidable, but it has not reached the point where it can destroy the city; we still have a chance of survival!” Liu Zihao’s body began to tremble slightly as he continued, “The city lord’s strength is enough to deal with it. As long as we can hold on until the city lord finishes his retreat, we can get through this crisis…”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Zihao’s eyes rolled back and his body went limp, collapsing to the ground.

Wang Qi caught him in his arms and instructed the servants in the City Lord Mansion to take Liu Zihao down to rest. Every time he used his ability, it drained all of Liu Zihao’s energy. Sometimes, to make an accurate prediction, he would even consume his Vitality Points, and this kind of consumption was permanent; that is to say, each time he made an accurate prediction, Liu Zihao’s maximum Vitality Points would be permanently reduced.

“Huh, does this mean that every time the City of Hope faces a crisis, we can only rely on Song Jian?” Wang Qi’s face was grim, and he felt somewhat exhausted, “Try to delay as much as possible. I hope the city lord can come out soon…”

Boom~

A rumble came from afar, shaking even the ground of the City Lord Mansion.

“The railgun, that was the railgun firing, the enemy has appeared!”

“Let’s go to the city wall and see who dares to challenge the City of Hope alone!”

All the administrators left the City Lord Mansion and rushed toward the wall.

Wang Qi was the last one to arrive at the city wall. Beyond the towering wall lay the ruins of a city yet to be captured. Several skeleton warriors, nearly as tall as the wall, were slowly approaching it.

A man in a black robe, holding a Bone Wand, stood surrounded by the skeleton warriors, a hundred meters away from the city wall. Underneath his hood, a pair of blood-red eyes shone with an eerie light.

“The figure shown in the crystal ball…” Wang Qi’s heart sank.

Sosmia looked up at the tall city walls, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“Is this a human city?” This didn’t match what he had anticipated; he thought it was a ruined city devoid of human life.

“I thought my enemies were a bunch of monsters, but instead, it’s a bunch of humans, hahaha…” Sosmia suddenly burst into laughter.

For a Necromancer, what could be more thrilling than stumbling upon an unknown human city?

To Sosmia, this city was an unexplored treasure trove; all humans were material for creating undead creatures.

“Skeletal warriors, wraiths, Death Knights, an endless supply of research material right before me–perhaps this city’s population is enough to let me construct a top-level grand graveyard!” Sosmia laughed heartily.

As Sosmia reveled in his joy, a deafening roar erupted, and a colossal skeleton less than ten meters away from him was struck by a beam of light. The ten-meter-tall massive figure was pulverized into dust in an instant.

“Magic Crystal Railgun?” A look of shock crossed Sosmia’s face. A city defense cannon of this caliber was only possessed by the most prominent cities. How could this seemingly newly established human city possess such a formidable weapon?

Although he had reached Second-tier Peak Combat Power, the Magic Crystal Railgun was still a threat to him. A direct hit would not instantly kill him like the large skeletons, but Sosmia would still be severely wounded.

With this in mind, Sosmia’s figure instantly turned into a black mist and slowly faded from the spot.

Just as his figure disappeared, another beam struck where he had just been, blasting a huge crater into the ground.

Boom, boom, boom~

The thunderous blasts of the Magic Crystal Railguns sounded one after another, and Sosmia, hidden in the void, had a terribly grim expression. The dozen or so skeletal warriors that he had managed to recruit were decimated by half in the instant he hid.

“How can there be so many Magic Crystal Railguns? Could the city have a Magic Crystal Mine?” Sosmia roared in anger.

With a thought, the remaining five or six skeletal warriors were all taken into his undead space.

Gathering so many tall skeletal warriors at once gave him the sensation that his undead space was about to burst. He hurriedly released a dozen ordinary skeletal warriors to meet their demise, to clear some space.

“Hmph, as long as I can transform this city into a grand graveyard, I can have as many undead creatures as I want!” Sosmia’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he surged toward the City of Hope like a gust of wind.

Though the City of Hope had the Magic Crystal Railguns, its other defense measures were too few. Sosmia turned into a gust of wind, easily swept over the tall city walls, and entered the City of Hope.

Everyone was anxiously looking outside the city, completely unaware that Sosmia had already made his way into the City of Hope.

“The most crucial task now is to secure the god shards. Once I have them, I’ll spread a plague through this city and transform the entire place into a city of the undead!” Sosmia scanned over the bustling cityscape from midair, his excitement intensifying.

After briefly sensing the location of the god shards in midair, Sosmia stirred up a cold wind and flew towards the City Lord Mansion, where Song Jian was.
