Chapter 1001
1001 The chaos escalates (1)
This morning, the residents of Snow City and the outsiders inadvertently saw a scene that shocked them.
The majestic and ancient castle that stood tall in the cloud zone suddenly burst out with a loud bang. Then, a small half of the castle was enveloped in flames that soared into the sky!
The explosion came so suddenly that by the time everyone regained their senses, the flames had already spread out.
The huge castle turned into a huge torch in an instant, and black smoke soared into the sky!
This flame was different from ordinary flames. It had a trace of fire energy aura. It was clearly triggered by a fire-type spell or a spell scroll!
To deal with this kind of special magic fire, only mages could personally put out the fire, because after ordinary water was poured on it, not only would it not have the effect of extinguishing the fire, but it would also be like adding oil to the fire, making the fire more serious.
When the castle servants who were trying to put out the fire realized this, they immediately gave up and rushed out of the castle in a panic.
The kitchen area where the fire first erupted was now in ruins. All the items had been turned to ashes!
Then, the flames that had lost control began to spread to the surroundings, devouring the precious items and living creatures in the castle.
Under the gazes of countless people, the fl.u.s.tered servants and Castle guards dug out the items from all the exits, their faces covered in soot.
A large number of mages appeared around the castle, continuously casting Water-type spells or tearing fire-extinguishing scrolls to put out the growing flames!
Even if the Save was not ideal, the mages still persevered, because they knew the importance of the castle, and they all wanted to minimize the loss!
It was just that in the process of casting a spell, a large amount of energy would definitely be consumed. After these mages put out a portion of the flames, they were already exhausted.
“Dammit, who did this? If I find out, I’ll definitely make him wish he was dead!”
One of the castle’s managers gritted his teeth and roared in anger. As he watched the castle being engulfed by the flames, his entire body trembled unconsciously.
Building such a huge castle would undoubtedly consume a large amount of wealth and resources. Not only was it the residence of the Lord of Snow City, but it was also an important symbol and inheritance.
It could be said that this castle was the same as Snow City, both of which were the most precious items of bargof!
Now that balguv was leading the Army to eliminate the otherworldly demons, the castle was naturally under their care. These managers did not dare to be careless and did their jobs well.
Unfortunately, disaster fell from the sky. No one had expected such a thing to happen!
They had always paid great attention to the castle’s fire prevention, so it was impossible for an accidental fire to happen.
The answer was obvious. Someone had deliberately set the fire to destroy the castle!
The other party had chosen to do this when bargof was not in Snow City, so they definitely had a plan. Thus, they had to inform the Lord immediately.
No one dared to hide or delay this kind of thing. Otherwise, once bargov found out, he would inevitably be cruelly punished.
As for whether or not they would be punished for this matter, and how heavy the punishment would be, there was no time to consider it now.
At most, he would escape from Snow City and hide before bargof returned. After all, reputation and status were only secondary compared to his life.
At the same time, there were also some people who were extremely worried about the future of Snow City. They wondered if it could survive this disaster.
As the castle caught fire and attracted the attention of countless people, some people with special ident.i.ties hid in the crowd and looked coldly at the collapsing Castle.
At the same time, they were conversing in private in extremely low voices.
good Lord, such a big move, he actually burned down bargof’s Castle!
“Who did this? You really have guts!”
why didn’t I think of that? sigh, someone else got there first!
“How much money will I get for burning down bargof’s Castle? Those guys who did it really struck it rich this time!”
The person who said this was naturally a contract cultivator who had accepted the mission to destroy the city and was hiding in the city.
Looks of envy and jealousy appeared on their faces, and their feelings were complicated.
No matter how much the bounty was, it had nothing to do with them. They no longer hesitated and decided to act immediately.
otherwise, once balguv returned to snow city, he would definitely launch a large-scale search for revenge. by then, it would be too late to take action.
At the thought of this, the contract cultivators who had accepted the mission immediately disappeared into the crowd and ran towards the important buildings in Snow City.
in the blink of an eye, snow city was in complete chaos!
Clouds of thick smoke began to rise from every corner of Snow City. Shouts and curses could be heard.
The soldiers of Snow City were running around with murderous intent, chasing away the panicking crowd on the street, telling them to go home to hide.
Groups of native cultivators, who were being chased by the soldiers of Snow City, appeared in the streets and alleys from time to time, causing chaos.
When the outsiders who had come from other parts of the continent saw this, their eyes suddenly lit up. After looking around, they quietly ran to a corner, pulled out a piece of rag to cover their faces, and then waved their sabers and rushed out.
However, most of the masked men were hooligans, thieves, and the like. They had already begun to take advantage of the chaos when it happened!
With the partic.i.p.ation of these people with ill intentions, the already chaotic Snow City was thrown into complete chaos. This actually helped the native cultivators and gave them a chance to escape.
All the officials and soldiers felt a headache as they faced the city that was almost covered in thick smoke. They put down everything they had to do and rushed to the streets.
While they were trying their best to maintain order, they were also engaged in an intense battle with the masked men.
For a time, the streets and alleys were filled with people fighting and blood splattered all over the city.
The originally chaotic scene gradually escalated into a riot.
The ordinary residents of Snow City were also affected by this. From time to time, some masked men would break through their doors and enter their homes to plunder.
Facing these masked bandits who were taking advantage of the chaos to Rob them, the residents of Snow City would not just sit back and wait for their deaths. They roared and picked up all kinds of weapons, fighting against these masked bandits.
Some of the n.o.bles and influential families in Snow City also stepped forward and brandished their swords to protect their interests.
One after another, bloodied bodies were abandoned on both sides of the road, and no one paid any attention to them.
Because of the riot, the gates of Snow City were quickly closed. A large number of soldiers appeared on the city walls and turned to face the city, preventing the masked thugs from escaping.
As expected, groups of masked men soon appeared near the city wall and began to use various means to try to cross the tall, snow-covered city wall.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw this, they immediately used their bows and arrows to shoot randomly, preventing them from approaching the city wall.
However, these masked men who tried to cross the city wall were basically all cultivators. With their powerful strength, the ordinary city wall really couldn’t stop them.
Under the cover of their companions, strong figures rushed to the city wall like lightning. Then, they climbed on the wall like geckoes and quickly climbed up the wall.
In just a few breaths, these cultivators had already rushed to the top of the city wall and were fighting with the city guards.
As soon as a gap was created, a large number of masked cultivators immediately rushed in and suppressed the soldiers and cultivators of the city.
After getting rid of the enemies blocking their way, they quickly jumped off the city wall and fled into the distance!
Behind him, xueman city, which was covered in blood and thick smoke, let out a silent cry. The tall castle was finally swallowed by the fire and collapsed with a loud bang.
