Chapter 1469: Retribution
Night.
Like a fierce beast!
Devouring all light!
The sky is moonless, black clouds stretch for thousands of miles.
Swimming City has lost its former splendor, the streets cold and deserted.
The entire city has fallen into an exceptionally desolate state.
The night market, rare in its closure for a day.
For no apparent reason.
The City Lord's Mansion guards and the ruling powers of the Upper Three Paths all dispatched their teams to patrol the streets, ensuring no civilians would appear.
Curfew!
Swimming City hadn't enforced a curfew in nearly a hundred years!
Yet now, the edict came abruptly.
And within the span of an hour, emptied all the streets.
Xander Cook was killed, Hagan Marsh captured.
The City Lord attacked!
Adler Haw, one of Swimming City's true ruling figures, killed by a shell inside the city!
Outside the high walls!
Troops from The North Sea pressing down!
Internal strife and external threats.
