Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 575: Capturing Xiaoyao City
"Kill! Wipe out the entire Ye family army!"
Waldo commanded coldly, his intent to kill sprawling across the battlefield.
The Thunder Warriors, Eagle Warriors, Divine Archers, Barbarian Warriors, and Strong Warriors from Dawn City employed every method at their disposal to carry out a one-sided slaughter of the Ye family’s army.
After multiple assaults, the Ye family’s army had lost their morale and fighting spirit, devoid of any resistance.
In their hearts, there was only one thought.
Escape!
This mysterious army was simply too formidable; they were no match at all!
If not now, when would they flee?
They had given up on everything. The generals’ reprimands, the military laws and penalties, all were cast aside.
Compared to their own lives, nothing else mattered.
They fled desperately.
Meanwhile, Ye Xue and the other generals in the army were left in utter despair.
This war god of the Ye family, who had once led the Ye family’s army to instill fear in Tianzhou and made the other four major families tremble, avoiding any major conflicts with the Ye family.
He was a monument of the Ye family!
A stabilizing force of the Ye family!
However, now, At this moment,
He had lost!
Lost in an inexplicable way!
Lost bitterly!
Lost unjustly!
"I can’t accept this! Why has this happened?!"
"Cursed heavens!"
Ye Xue’s hair was as red as blood, wildly fluttering in the wind, in a state of uncontrolled frenzy.
He couldn’t understand.
How could this army appear so silently and unexpectedly in the heartland of the Ye family, surrounded by Ye family territories?
He also couldn’t comprehend why this army was so powerful and terrifying!
His heart sank into an abyssal hell of despair.
Filled with despair, unwillingness, pain, and anger...
Unfortunately, none of this made a difference!
This was war.
This is a cold and ruthless, cruel and bloody war! Wails are everywhere, soldiers are fleeing in disarray, and the sky is lit with the flames of war.
The defeated army collapses like a mountain, running aimlessly like a swarm of ants. The lives of the Ye family’s soldiers are as fragile as straw, easily and massively slaughtered.
...
Some of the Ye family soldiers scattered and fled, easily intercepted and slaughtered by the army of Dawn City! Most of the Ye family’s army escaped into Xiaoyao City. Xiaoyao City, the second largest city of the Ye family, can accommodate a million people. It easily housed these defeated soldiers.
"How many people have come back?" Ye Xue’s face was sorrowful. Everything was over. His subordinate, pale, said with difficulty, "Less than two hundred thousand!"
At that moment, someone hurriedly came to report.
"General, they have started to attack the city!"
Ye Xue quickly looked up. He saw those invincible, unparalleled, and astoundingly fast eagles circling above Xiaoyao City, their cries chilling to the bone! Suddenly, they attacked the Ye family’s army in Xiaoyao City.
"At all costs, send the message out, inform the family head, the other four major families have ulterior motives against our Ye family, we are irreconcilable with them, we would rather break the net than let them succeed!"
The Ye family’s army had already lost all will to fight. Already defeated and fleeing, they entered the city in a hurry, still fearful and anxious, and it was difficult to organize an effective defense in a short time.
Moreover, Waldo’s side had the heavenly soldiers of eagle warriors. Even with the guard of a grand city, they couldn’t avoid the fate of the city being breached.
The army of Dawn City is a highly disciplined and elite force, completely obedient. Waldo had previously issued an order. Soldiers entering the city should not disturb the residents, nor harass them, rob, kill, or set fires. However, apart from the civilians...
All of the Ye family soldiers, the officials of the Ye family in the city, must not be spared! To deter the petty thieves and also to show their irreconcilable stance towards the Ye family, this scene ensued.
The Ye family’s soldiers were massacred ruthlessly. However, the army of Dawn City turned a blind eye to the civilians just a wall away.
...
"Is the Ye family finished?"
"Where did this army come from? I only heard that a million-strong army is gathering here to deal with a force in the Devil’s Forest, I don’t know much else."
"Yeah, it’s very strange. This isn’t a border area, and it’s far from the other major families, where did they come from?"
"And they are all very powerful. Those soldiers, who were previously fierce and menacing, are like paper in front of this mysterious army, unable to withstand a single blow, so fragile..."
"They won’t kill us, will they?"
"I’ve heard that massacres of villages and cities occur frequently in fights between different forces."
"Rape, pillage, and looting, especially abducting women, are not uncommon..."
"We are in Xiaoyao City, the heartland of the Ye family, this mysterious army definitely can’t occupy this place, their most likely action is to massacre us all..."
Residents of Xiaoyao City, hiding in their homes, their faces pale and trembling, discussed in low voices.
Thinking of the fate they might face, everyone couldn’t help but shudder.
However, fortunately, these speculations did not become reality.
Someone sneaked to the door to check the situation, then scurried back. Under others’ questioning, he said: "This mysterious army seems to be very disciplined. They only kill those who are soldiers, and haven’t done anything outrageous to us civilians. They even ignored the shops on the streets, as if blind to those possessions..."
"Does that mean our lives are safe?"
"Don’t be too happy too soon, let’s wait and see..." they said in hushed voices.
A weight finally lifted from their hearts.
...
Meanwhile, the army of Dawn City completely occupied the entire Xiaoyao City.
The vast Xiaoyao City has completely fallen into Waldo’s hands! Seated in the main seat of the city lord’s mansion, Darell, who had been following him, waved his hand and commanded loudly, "Bring the man up!"
Immediately, two strong and brave warriors dragged in a disheveled, pale-faced, and wretched-looking middle-aged man. It was the Ye family’s god of war, Ye Xue.
"You..."
"It’s Waldo!" Ye Xue suddenly looked up, his large eyes fixedly staring at Waldo in disbelief.
"No! Impossible!"
"How could a mere trialist achieve this?!"
"It’s fake, all fake!"
Ye Xue shook his head frantically, looking like a madman.
"Kill him!" Waldo shook his head.
At once, a man stepped forward, blade raised, and with a swift motion, the head of Ye Xue, the Ye family’s god of war, fell to the ground!
