CHAPTER 795: CHAPTER 391: THE SAVIOR FROM THE HEAVENS_2

As Heidi and the others had mentioned before, the magic power of the Advanced Magic Array was also limited, and Hope Village could grind it to death.

But now, the most critical issue was the over eight thousand human lives within Fasal Village.

If they didn’t break the siege soon, how many people would remain in the end?

Heidi and Alike, along with other mages who had conducted research on magic arrays, had been observing the patterns of the array, studying the operation of its lines, hoping to find a corresponding breakthrough.

Time ticked away second by second, and for the people inside and outside Fasal Village, every second was torment.

Within the territory, the fire continued to fall, and every time it inadvertently swept over an area with Black Stone powder, it triggered explosions. These explosions affected not just the hearts of Fasal Village’s residents but also the protective shields upheld by some professionals.

Once a professional’s magic power was insufficient and there was no magic support, death was all that awaited those under the protective shield.

Although many professionals were trying hard to maintain it, as the fire fell more densely and explosions occurred frequently, there were professionals whose magic power neared exhaustion, and even potions that quickly replenished magic power were of no help anymore.

Essentially, as soon as the magic power was exhausted, the protective shield shattered with a crack.

Fortunately, the Black Stone powder near this protective shield had been completely eliminated, posing no threat to them, but the continuously falling fire made the entire land engulfed in waves of heat.

"Ah, ah, it’s so hot!"

"Water, water, water, give me water."

"I can’t take it anymore, just kill me!"

"..."

Gradually, some people couldn’t help but scream out in agony.

Every word they said seemed to brand itself onto the hearts of the listeners.

Gradually, some professionals were unwilling to spend their magic power to protect the ordinary residents around them anymore.

For if they couldn’t endure and also ran out of magic power, not just they but also their families would face severe casualties.

In a life or death situation, ordinary people were the first to be abandoned.

Upon realizing this, some ordinary residents, after seeing the horrific deaths of others, chose suicide instead.

"Mother, I’m scared."

"Don’t be scared, mother will always be with you."

"..."

These voices, carried by the breeze, reached the ears of Zhou Bai and the others, with a trace of compassion flickering in everyone’s eyes.

At that moment, Zhou Bai suddenly felt he was too cruel.

Perhaps, if they had waited a little longer, these people wouldn’t have had to die such a tragic death.

As an invader, his hands were stained with their blood.

Thinking this, Zhou Bai’s heart involuntarily shuddered.

The hand by his side clenched tightly, fingernails digging deep into his flesh, as if only pain could fend off the pain in his heart.

Zhou Bai’s distress was noticed by those guarding him. Bayer pressed his lips together, his eyes showing a touch of pity, but he said nothing. He hoped even more that Zhou Bai would gradually get used to such scenes, as they were an inevitable part of growing a territory.

Lagging behind meant getting hit.

If Hope Village had been just a little behind, this fate would have befallen Hope Village and its residents.

He believed Lord would get through it.

The others shared Bayer’s hope. They loved Hope Village and Lord Zhou Bai and wanted him to become stronger and understand the cruelty of the world.

The things Wolf did in his own territory were cruel, but even more brutal events happened constantly on Stan Continent.

It was tough to change the world by oneself.

Lord, you need to learn to adapt to the new environment.

At this time, however, Zhou Zhengping stood beside Zhou Bai, took his hand, and held it in his own, just like when they were children, a large hand enveloping a small one, and then whispered softly, "You’ve already done very well, there’s nothing wrong with you! You don’t need to pay for the cruelty of others."

Zhou Zhengping spoke with confidence, after all, his daughter could do no wrong.

Feeling the tone of Zhou Zhengping, Zhou Bai’s heavy mood eased somewhat.

"I know."

But knowing didn’t mean one could be entirely indifferent.

At that moment, Heidi and Alike stopped their analysis of the magic array, exchanged a glance, and hurriedly looked toward Zhou Bai.
