Chapter 924 An One-Sided Battlefield

The sudden change in the manor made Shirley nervous.

She looked around and saw that everyone in the family had gathered, fully armed and ready to fight.

She quickly walked forward and pulled someone over to ask, “What happened?”

“Trolls are coming en masse—almost a few thousand of them. They’re planning an invasion. If we don’t act now, we’re doomed.”

That person replied in a panic, his head covered in sweat. After saying that, he turned around and left quickly, ignoring Shirley.

“The trolls? It’s strange that this is happening.”

Seeing this, Lu Yu roughly understood the reason this was happening.

The Ember Empire Great Mage who cast the sleeping spell seemed to have covered the entire place, indiscriminately hypnotizing and freezing any living being.

Therefore, their enemies were also frozen. Once the Ember Empire was revived thousands of years later, these enemies were also revived.

This meant they would still encounter the same enemies and disasters as before.

Also, they had been fighting against these trolls for thousands of years.

“It looks like they’re in trouble.”

Helen walked over and sighed.

“There are all kinds of bizarre monsters in the Ember Empire. Some are ferocious, some are vicious, and they have been at odds with humans forever.”

“Trolls are just one of the many monsters. There are many more, such as fire demons, goblins, lizards, and so on.”

“They’re not going to be able to sleep tonight.”

Helen shook her head helplessly.

“Are we leaving now while it’s dark, or what?”

Not sleeping at night would not affect Lu Yu and the Empress.

However, Helen might be affected. Although she was strong, her physique was nothing special.

Lu Yu had the bloodline of the Dragon God, and while the Empress lived in the dark, she had built a strong physique with her long lifespan.

“I’m fine to travel at night; let’s go.”

Lu Yu nodded slightly and said, “Let’s leave this city.”

The three of them only stayed in this city briefly before leaving immediately.

As for the disaster that Green Sea City was about to face, Lu Yu did not care. After all, he had no feelings for this city.

This wasn’t the city he grew up in, nor was it within the borders of the Freedom Federation. There was really no need for him to rescue them.

Before Lu Yu and the others could walk out of the courtyard, they saw the troops gathered in the manor running out quickly. They left in a hurry, ready to fight their enemies.

They were heading in the direction where Lu Yu was heading and were going deep into the Ember Empire.

“It looks like we will still bump into them. Why don’t we fly over instead?”

“Fly over?” the Empress asked. “Aren’t you afraid that the dragon will be exposed?”

“Of course, I won’t be letting out my dragon. I can fly with my equipment, and Helen is an esper who can bring you along in the air.”

“Good. Let’s fly out and directly cross the battlefield.”

The three of them left the manor and came to the streets, and Lu Yu could see the panicked crowd running out of the city.

Some people ran toward the battlefield, while others ran in the opposite direction.

The nobles who stayed in the town naturally led their men to charge and defend their city.

After all, their assets were all here. They would never willingly give up their assets and escape.

“Hurry up! Hurry up and charge forward; the frontlines have already been broken!”

“The trolls’ spellcasters’ continuous bombardment has torn a hole in the city walls! They are invading; someone stop them!”

“Why? Why are the trolls invading so fiercely? This never happened before!”

“God knows why. We have to fight! We can’t give up!”

“Damn it, are we all going to die here?”

“What about the Herbert family? If they went up, there should be no problem, right?”

“No, they don’t have any good weapons! They’re all fighting with inferior, low-level weapons!”

The group of people ran forward and communicated anxiously.

“It can’t be that they failed to repel the invasion because I’ve broken their weapons, right?”

Lu Yu was rendered speechless.

Helen quickly explained, “It shouldn’t be the case. Your actions should have an adverse effect, but not to the point that they decide the outcome of this battle. I think these trolls have received some sort of enhancement, which allowed their strength to increase by a large margin.”

“That’s quite interesting. Let’s go and take a look.”

Lu Yu walked out of the city and saw the rows of barricades. Tens of thousands of soldiers were guarding them, repelling the invasion of the troll army.

There were only about 5,000 to 6,000 trolls and 30,000 to 40,000 human soldiers.

However, it was a one-sided battle.

The human soldiers charged forward and were easily trampled by the troll warriors.

The troll warriors were tall and muscular. Some of them held spears, while others held axes. Their fangs were sharp, and they looked ferocious.

They were monsters through and through. How could ordinary people be a match for such monsters?

Lu Yu saw Herbert leading the soldiers from his family, charging at the trolls.

The leader of the troll warriors gripped his club tightly and swung it at the incoming cavalry.

With a sweep of his club, many cavalrymen were swept away. These humans were as easy to trample as insects to these trolls.

“Something’s wrong. Trolls don’t usually have such strong combat strength, and their bodies aren’t so tall. They must have been enhanced by something!”
Helen frowned and commented in a strange tone.

As the daughter of a wealthy family, she knew a thing or two about these trolls.

“What do you think it is?”

Lu Yu knew little about the Ember Empire, so he could only defer to Helen’s knowledge.

“I don’t know. There are many possibilities. Perhaps if we continue moving forward, we will be able to see the source.”

“Alright, we’ll just cross over the battlefield. Leave their matters to them.”

Lu Yu did not intend to interfere, as he respected the fate of others.

After taking a few steps forward, Lu Yu saw many people running back. They were all deserters.

Many people held their heads in their hands and cried bitterly, their faces filled with despair.

“It’s over, it’s over! We will all die here!”

“I can’t defeat even a single one! There’s just no way!”

“Hurry up and run! There’s no hope!”

“Who can be their match? It’s just impossible!”

“Is the end of the world here? No, I just woke up!”

“If Herbert can’t even defeat them, we have even less of a chance! Run!”
