Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Legend
Without the burden of carrying a great sword, Chen Ke felt much more at ease as he weaved through the alleys, avoiding the groups of soldiers on the streets while continuing to explore the roads beneath the city.
The siege was ongoing, only the attackers no longer utilized the large siege engines. Judging by the state of the streets, Chen Ke deduced that the city gates had been breached, and perhaps a vast portion of the city had been occupied.
When a siege battle moved to hand-to-hand combat within the city, it essentially signaled the defenders’ defeat. Surrender was merely a matter of time. The nobility hid inside the palace, too afraid to emerge, perhaps preparing a retreat.
However, the civilians on the streets were not so fortunate. Not only did they face a future of displacement, but they were also at the mercy of bloodthirsty soldiers slaughtering them. Tonight would be the end of days for Faralis.
What particularly intrigued Chen Ke was the lack of Transcendent clashes in this great battle. Sure, tremendous bolts of Lightning were one aspect, but in the era Faralis existed in, shouldn’t Magic and Transcendent Skills be as common as breathing?
If one were to delve into this, all the doubts lay with the Black Ring Sect. As the state religion of Faralis, they had not exerted any effort—at least, from what could be seen so far, there were no Priests on the battlefield.
Chen Ke squeezed through a crack in a surrounding wall and jumped into the courtyard behind a three-story building, which appeared to belong to the wealthier class among the civilians.
This building had not been touched by the flames of war, and in the current spread of extinguishing foam and firelight, the courtyard seemed like a haven from heaven, maintaining the state it was in during peacetime.
