Chapter 217: To Rush or Not to Rush

The fighting within the inner city grew louder, and the flames of battle spread quickly throughout the city.

The blasts from destructive heavy weaponry caused shockwaves, one after another, sending up mushrooms clouds. Towering buildings collapsed thunderously in the fierce explosions, their booming sounds incessant like thunderstorms, setting fire to half the sky.

The flourishing inner city was suddenly plunged into chaos.

It was midnight when the pirates attacked, and the residents were in their dreams when the violent noises abruptly woke them.
