Chapter 375 - 277: Infiltrating Tokyo City
Of course, they were lucky.
Because Zi Liyuan was set on attacking the city from the beginning, he temporarily ignored these Wokou hiding outside the city.
But now that the city had been reduced to ruins and all the Wokou within had perished, it was time to take care of those hiding outside the city.
After all, a family should be together, right?
Helping these Wokou reunite with their families was an obligation Lord Zi could not shirk!
The Wokou hiding outside the city weren’t powerful characters; the true strong ones would have definitely entered the city at the news of the beast tide.
So this was yet another massacre.
However, to lighten the workload a bit, Kulong signaled a troop of Spectral Dragons to chase out all the rampaging Shikigami from within the city ruins into the wilderness.
Consequently, these Shikigami started to afflict the Wokou hiding outside the city ruins, as well as various other creatures.
This massacre lasted for over an hour, and then Lord Zi, with his Spectral Dragon army, left.
They had to leave, because Copperbeard·Skeleton Number One and his team had already modified the city’s energy core.
Such a large, unstable super bomb—if it were to explode suddenly, wouldn’t they themselves be affected?
As for the team of Vampires left to guard the place, if they died, so be it. There were plenty more where they came from, no love lost.
Over the next three days, under Lord Zi’s remote control, the Spectral Dragon Troop directly destroyed three cities with populations of over a million.
It could be said that a gap had been opened directly above the governing district of Tokyo City, the capital of the Plaster Nation.
The number of Wokou eliminated by the Spectral Dragon Troop reached a staggering five million.
The Spectral Dragon Troop’s city annihilation incident caused panic throughout the Plaster Nation, drawing serious attention from the nation’s military.
The Wokou high-level officials originally wanted to cover up and downplay these three city slaughters.
Unexpectedly, videos of the three Spectral Dragon Troop city massacres spread silently throughout the entire Plaster Nation.
So, demonstrations and the like began to take place frequently in Tokyo City, putting tremendous pressure on the government of the Plaster Nation, which had no choice but to deploy a team of powerful military figures to investigate the situation in the three ruined cities and pinpoint the movements of the Spectral Dragon Troops.
Naturally, the videos were spread by Lord Zi himself. Because of the Shikigami issue, most cities in the Plaster Nation did not restrict the presence of spectres and other undead creatures.
Therefore, Vampires and spectres were able to infiltrate many cities.
Lord Zi copied the videos and had a group of Vampires and spectres infiltrate several satellite cities around Tokyo City.
On the fourth day, a tremendous earthquake was felt along with the sight of a huge mushroom-shaped black cloud soaring into the sky.
Even from hundreds of miles away, the might of the shockwave could be felt.
Looking in the direction of the disturbance, it originated from the site of the first devastated million-population city.
Zi Liyuan was unaware that, under pressure, Tokyo City had managed to deploy 12 Fourth Order Peak professionals to inspect the three destroyed cities and, equipped with special containment devices, planned to recover the city energy cores.
The 12 Fourth Order Peak professionals easily exterminated the Vampire team that had been left behind.
But as they, completely unguarded, touched the city energy core, the super bomb—which had been tampered with to become volatile—almost instantaneously underwent an explosive release of energy.
In that moment, the unprepared dozen professionals were vaporized without leaving even ashes behind, perishing in the huge mushroom cloud.
The deaths of 12 Fourth Order professionals were beyond Lord Zi’s expectations; he had thought these Wokou would dispatch two or three persons for investigation and recovery, never expecting that 12 would be sent at once to meet their maker.
This was indeed an unexpected delight.
The fewer powerful figures Tokyo City had, the smoother his subsequent plan to bombard Tokyo City would go.
And after annihilating three million-population cities of the Plaster Nation and slaughtering over five million people, Lord Zi did not continue his massacre with the Spectral Dragons. Instead, he returned to the small valley.
Over the course of three days, the massive undead creatures in the wild areas of the Necro Realm had been mostly driven out of the Secret Realm and onto the territories of the Plaster Nation.
Now, one could see swarms of undead creatures across the hills, the majority being the most inexpensive Skeletons and Zombies.
"Edward, drive these undead creatures in two groups, one to the left and one to the right, and strike the satellite cities near Tokyo City,"
It was time to initiate a small-scale undead plague.
This time, basically all the wild undead from the Necro Realm were forced out, with the numbers being at least five hundred million or more.
With such a massive number, any small town couldn’t withstand the onslaught of these undead, destined only to become ruins.
Even the large million-population cities, if left without reinforcements, couldn’t withstand the continuous assault of so many undead creatures and would ultimately succumb to breach and loss of life.
"Yes, Master!"

Edward nodded elegantly, then summoned a group of Blood Race BOSSES dressed in tailcoats behind him, whispered a few words, and they transformed into a swarm of bats and flew out.
Zi Liyuan watched Edward and reflected on how Death professionals preferred to recruit members of the Blood Race as butlers.
They were indeed convenient, like elegant nobility, arranging everything neatly in order without the master having to worry.
The only regret was that even though Edward was a Vampire Ghost King, a Lord Level BOSS, his power was still somewhat lacking.
