C364 Fang Zheng Intercepted
"City Lord, let's escape as soon as possible, before the north gate is surrounded by people from the Sand Empire.
We don't have soldiers, we don't even have the chance to defend, and we only beat down the rich merchants a few days ago.
Most of the food in the Five Seas City have been moved away by those wealthy merchants. We will continue to stay in the city, and in a few days, we will all starve to death. "
"What? Why did you only tell me this important news now? Hurry up and pack up. Let's go, hurry up …"
Zheng Fang was shocked and quickly ran away with his belongings.
And many citizens were also kept in the dark regarding Five Seas City.
Because Zheng Fang had suppressed the wealthy merchants two days ago, there were often incidents where the city gates were closed.
Thus, when the people saw Zheng Fang bringing over a dozen carriages out of Five Seas City, they realized that the people of Sand Empire had already attacked.
"How could this be? The Sand Empire really is coming over, why didn't we listen to Young Master Tianyu's suggestion at that time?"
"That's right. What should we do now? Even the mayor has run away. What should we do now? Are we going to be killed?"
"Quickly close the city gate. If Young Master Tianyu knew that a war was going to happen here, he would definitely come back to save us."
"Right, right, as long as we endure, we will have a chance to live on. Young Master Tianyu will not give up on us."
While the people of Five Seas City were panicking, Zheng Fang had already left the Five Seas City two kilometers away.
However, he did not feel the joy of surviving a calamity. He knew that his position as the City Lord had come to an end.
Escaping from battle was a crime that he could not avoid. Once things calmed down, the royal family of Sky Dragon Empire would find trouble with him.
Withdrawal was inevitable, and there might even be the risk of his head being chopped off.
While Zheng Fang was lost in his thoughts, a scream came from outside.
"What happened?"
It wasn't a safe time, so Zheng Fang quickly pulled open the curtain of the carriage.
What entered his eyes was a sea of Skeleton Soldiers, while the black cloaked man standing at the very front was currently looking at him with an ice-cold gaze.
"This must be the city lord of Five Seas City. To be able to see you, I'm truly very happy."
Potter said with a faint smile.
Zheng Fang's face turned pale. He knew that he couldn't escape anymore and was surrounded by Skeleton Soldier.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking me?! Since you know that I'm the mayor, quickly get out of my way!"
Zheng Fang knew that it wasn't the time to be scared. He had to give it his all. If he was captured there, there would be no end to it.
"Oh, City Lord Zheng Fang is truly bold. He is calm in the face of danger and he can even respond unyieldingly to being surrounded. How rare."
Towards Potter's praise, Zheng Fang did not feel proud at all. Instead, he felt the pain of being frozen.
"Looks like we won't be able to escape today."
When Zheng Fang was in despair, Potter suddenly said.
"City lord Zheng Fang, don't be nervous. We don't like human life, but we are very interested in cities."
Potter's face revealed a smile, which made his pale face even more frightening.2
Zheng Fang was stunned by Potter's words. Then, he roughly understood what Potter meant.
"Do you want me to help your Sand Empire troops open the gates to the Five Seas City?"
"Haha, speaking to an intelligent person is easy. I wonder what City Lord Zheng Fang's choice is?"
"This …"
Zheng Fang immediately hesitated. It was very difficult to attack Potter's Skeleton Soldier, so the Five Seas City could last for a long time.
