System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1147 - 317: The Name of Human Slaughter (10,000 Words) (Part 4)
Previously on System: Build My Own Territory...
The figures did not hear Ah Ke’s words.
As Ah Ke’s fists landed, they smashed onto their bodies.
The sound of bones breaking instantly resounded, and as the bodies of guards, peasants, and soldiers caved in, they flew to the sides.
Jon Zuck directly ignored the injured or dead guards, peasants, and soldiers, and urged Ah Ke.
"Ah Ke! Faster!"
Hearing Jon Zuck’s directive, Ah Ke didn’t turn back to respond this time.
Instead, his leg muscles tensed up, and he started running.
With each step Ah Ke took, a heavy sound echoed.
As Ah Ke’s steps continued, his running speed accelerated, crashing into the figures ahead...
Wherever Ah Ke passed, the crowded bodies collapsed to the ground, cries of agony continually echoing.
Jon Zuck rode on horseback, following behind Ah Ke.
He hurriedly spurred his horse forward, galloping across those bodies.
At this moment.
Whether it was Jon Zuck, Chambers, or the five Manor Lords.
None of them cared about the losses of the guards, peasants, and soldiers they brought!
The fire in the treetops above was spreading rapidly.
If they did not leave the forest soon.
Not just these guards and peasants.
Even they would end up buried in this forest, consumed by fire!
Jon Zuck, riding on his horse, glanced back slightly.
Jon Zuck’s gaze shook.
The dry forest was ignited by the burning leaves falling from the treetops.
Driven by the mountain wind, the fire spread quickly across the forest at an astonishing speed.
The forest behind had already turned into a sea of fire!
Thick smoke, filled with fiery heat, quickly pervaded the entire forest.
Evaporating the moisture from the trunks and leaves in the forest.
The guards, peasants, and soldiers in the forest were blinded, tears streaming down.
Breathing was difficult, and they coughed violently.
In an instant.
The forest behind plunged into extreme chaos and panic.
Some were stunned by the fire, lost and clueless.
Others fled wildly, trying to find a way out...
But due to the continually spreading and expanding fire, the increasingly dense smoke obscured their direction.
Jon Zuck understood.
Those guards, peasants, and soldiers no longer had time to escape the fire.
Their final fate would be—consumed by the flames!
Jon Zuck’s mood sank to its utmost.
He was utterly certain that Lynn had spilled large amounts of oil or other flammable materials in this forest!
Otherwise.
So many ancient trees with several trunk-hugging people could never ignite so easily!
Jon Zuck let out a cold snort.
Setting fire to the forest as an attack!
Indeed, it could cause massive casualties to the troops he brought.
But it couldn’t completely annihilate his army, burying them in a forest fire!
Watching Ah Ke still striving to move forward, blazing a trail.
Jon Zuck felt slightly relieved.
Despite the rapid spread of the fire.
The forest igniting and expanding into a full-scale blaze, transforming into a sea of fire, would take time.
He could take advantage of the fire’s expanding time to safely withdraw from the forest!
Listening to the echoing screams in the forest behind.
Feeling the burning heat from his back.
Jon Zuck shouted again to Ah Ke ahead.
"Ah Ke, faster!"
Perhaps he heard Jon Zuck’s words.
Already striving to run forward, blazing a trail, Ah Ke picked up his pace even further.
Forcibly carving a path out of the chaotic, crowded army ahead, allowing the horses to gallop.
At this speed, they could completely retreat before the fire spread to the entrance!
Watching the trees on both sides of the forest quickly retreat.
Jon Zuck barely had a moment to relax.
Sudden cries of terror and bewilderment erupted ahead.
"Fire! A huge fire!"
"The fire has ignited the forest entrance!"
Hearing these cries, Jon Zuck’s eyes involuntarily shrank again.
Lynn didn’t just ignite the forest’s exit, but also stationed personnel hidden at the forest entrance.
Waiting for him to lead his troops into the forest depths and then igniting the entrance.
Directly sealing off their last escape route?
Following behind Jon Zuck, Chambers and the five Manor Lords naturally also heard the cries.
They were in a daze, deeply despondent.
Words of despair emerged from their lips.
"It’s over! It’s all over!"
"Are all our lives destined to be buried in this forest?"
"Thousands of lives! Lynn... such a cruel heart!"
"Human Slaughter! Simply a Human Slaughter!"
"How... how could this happen?"
"..."
Chambers, trembling all over, looked at Jon Zuck full of hope, even his speaking tone changed.
"Viscount Jon... there’s fire ahead and behind, what do you think we should do now?"
Listening to Chambers’ question, Jon Zuck glanced at him coldly and countered.
"Fire ahead? Did Viscount Chambers see it with his own eyes?"
Chambers’ face instantly showed bewilderment, hesitated slightly.
"They said the fire has spread to the forest’s entrance..."
Before Chambers could finish, Jon Zuck interrupted him directly.
"Should I believe whatever they say?"
"I am the Viscount of the Zak Clan personally appointed by Marquis Ducas, Jon Zuck!"
