Chapter 168 Du Xiao Arrives

“Roar—”

As everyone expressed their willingness to contribute, a deafening roar suddenly came from the northern sky.

It was as if a long-sleeping beast awakened in the darkness. The voice was deep and majestic, carrying an indescribable majesty and power that made people shudder.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden sound. They felt a strong vibration coming from the ground, as if the whole city was shaking.

The sound was like a huge shock wave, rumbling into the city with a majestic momentum that covered the horizon, causing everyone's eardrums to feel a sharp pain.

"Ghost Tyrant!"

Hearing that earth-shaking roar, the faces of Councillor Zhu Meng, Chief Instructor Feijiao, and North Wall General Lu Xu all turned solemn in an instant.

Their eyes were all directed towards the huge and gloomy figure in the distance...

"Ghost Tyrant! It is trying to use the death energy brought by the Shayuan to gather more undead spirits and prepare to break through our northern wall in one go!" Zhu Meng said angrily.

"This is a big trouble. This Dead King originally commanded a huge army of undead, and now with the help of Sha Yuan, its power will become even stronger and unstoppable. We must request reinforcements again, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." The military staff analyzed worriedly.

"It's too late!" Zhu Meng's expression was extremely solemn.

"The first half of the night is not over yet. The mages in other areas are also in short supply. We cannot mobilize support personnel at all. Even if we mobilize them as easily as squeezing toothpaste, it will take some time."

"With the strength of this undead king, within an hour, it and its undead army will be less than three kilometers away from us." Zhu Meng's words were full of urgency.

Military commander Lu Xu's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He stared at the ghostly tyrant and said, "Then we will take decapitation action. We must destroy this undead monarch together!"

"Since there is no way to avoid it, let's take the initiative."

"As long as we can kill this Undead Lord, the north wall will be safe."

"No, this plan is too risky. If we are not careful, we will be surrounded by the undead army." Staff Officer Zhu, who had previously commanded the guards, raised objections.

"There are only a few of us super-class mages on the north wall. If we are besieged, the entire northern part of the ancient capital will be in danger of destruction."

"Even if we are not besieged for the time being, once this Undead Lord and his Undead Legion approach the city wall, the North City will still face the threat of destruction."

"We have no choice but to take the initiative and destroy this Undead Lord." Zhu Meng said firmly.

"Our number of super-class mages is totally insufficient to successfully kill a monarch-level undead in such a huge army of undead."

"If there is a super-class light wizard, perhaps we still have a chance to defeat the Ghost Tyrant." Staff Officer Zhu still showed an attitude of unwillingness to act.

"Then let's take a vote and decide. The minority shall obey the majority. Those who agree to carry out the decapitation operation against the tyrant Gui Xu, please raise your hands." Military Commander Lu Xu suggested.

There are quite a few super-class mages on the north wall. Together with Zhu Meng, Wu Pingjing and other mages who came from all over the country to support the ancient capital, there are a total of seven super-class mages.

Among the seven super-class mages, except for Staff Officer Zhu and a wind-type super-class mage, the other five raised their hands and agreed to carry out the decapitation operation on the Ghost Tyrant. "Five to two, it's decided. We will rest for ten minutes and start the decapitation plan in ten minutes!" Zhu Meng looked around at the super-class mages present and said firmly.

"But..." Staff Officer Zhu still opposed the decapitation operation. The number of super-class mages they had was too small, both super-class and high-level mages were insufficient.

Even if they could successfully kill the Ghost Tyrant, they would eventually run out of magic power and be besieged and killed by the Undead Legion.

It was more of a journey to death than a decapitation operation.

Once these super-class mages are killed, the remaining undead legions will approach the northern city wall. Even without the command of the Ghost Tyrant, tens of thousands of undead will be able to destroy the city wall without the defense of super-class mages.

"Need a super-class light mage? It seems my power is needed here."

At this time, a man dressed in black long wool and with a heroic look between his brows walked out slowly from the group of gathered mages, with a calm and confident smile on his face.

Next to the man with sword-like eyebrows, there was another man wearing leather clothes and exuding a strange aura.

"It's the Hunting King!"

The Hunter Alliance members at the scene recognized the identity of the man with sword-like eyebrows.

The master of the Xuan list——Hunter King Du Xiao!
This person is not only a hunter king with amazing combat power, but also a super-class light mage!
Light magic has a strong restraining effect on undead creatures. If the undead creatures that originally required three mages to deal with are dealt with by light mages, it is no exaggeration to say that one light mage is enough to do the job.

"Hahahaha, Du Xiao, it's great that you arrived on time!" Zhu Meng has a very good relationship with Du Xiao. When he saw Du Xiao appear, he immediately went to greet him happily, laughing.

The appearance of Hunting King Du Xiao is quite influential, which may be due to his identity as Hunting King, or perhaps because of his super-level cultivation in the light system.

Staff Officer Zhu, who had previously firmly opposed several super-class mages taking risks, now had a slightly softened expression on his face.

The fact that he could serve as a military adviser in the ancient capital and dared to oppose Zhu Meng, while Zhu Meng was able to remain calm and not lose his temper, was enough to show that this person was by no means a selfish person.

Otherwise, Zhu Meng would have blasted him with a ray of death light. As the future vice president of the Palace Museum, and even expected to become the president, how could Zhu Meng tolerate a selfish person to oppose him?

With the joining of Hunting King Du Xiao, Staff Officer Zhu and another super-class magician who had originally opposed the decapitation operation changed their positions and now expressed their agreement.

The super-level mages unanimously agreed, and the high-level mages below naturally had no objections.

As for the mid-level mages, their opinions do not need special attention.

During the ten-minute rest time, Zhu Meng and others began to plan the decapitation plan.

"The Ghost Tyrant is surrounded by a large group of bone generals, corpse generals, and ghost generals."

"To us, the bone generals and corpse generals are like ants on the road. We can easily step over them. But the group of white yin ghosts led by the ghost minister, if there are many of them, will bring us great mental pressure. If I remember correctly, there is no one among us who practices mental magic, right?" said Military Commander Lu Xu.
