Invaders (2)

Several days after Na Yu returned back to the sect grounds, more attacks from all over the region started. First, there were attacks in the east, then the north. The attacks weren't as bad as the first battle.

There was only around one thousand demons attacking the other towns and cities in the region. White Roses only sent out around 50 people to deal with the small attacks.

Most of the towns and cities could deal with most if not all of the demons that attacked. Zuhn was getting a little bit worried about what the Demon Sect was planning to do.

In the other regions around the continent, the Demon Sect sent in hundreds of thousands of demons to attack the sects. But, here they were sending small amounts of demons to attack the towns.

A lot of the towns in the region decided to move to the White Roses. Building makeshift towns outside of their lands. This helped White Roses protect a lot more people and also recruit more people to their sect.

The small attacks started to get worse and worse by the day. First, there was only 1000 attacking at once, now there was around five thousand attacking.

This caused a lot of the towns and cities to fall to the Demon Sect. The Demon Sect was gaining more and more land as it was reaching the center of the region.

In total, around fifty thousand civilians of the region made their way to White Roses. Inside of those civilians, the White Roses were able to recruit around three thousand cultivators.

Also, from the 47 thousand civilians there was around ten thousand soldiers that used to guard didn't towns and cities in the region. The guards from these towns weren't super powerful, but they were able to protect the civilians with White Roses.

With the new people that joined White Roses they gain a lot of power, the people from the region also brought supplies. The supplies they brought were enough to survive for quite a while against the Demon Sect.

With the number of people that were around White Roses, the military department got workers to build a huge wall around all of the new towns being built.

The wall was quickly built in under seven days, the workforce was a little over 30 thousand people working 12-hour shifts. The wall was quite big, being around 5 meters tall and the width being around 3 meters. In the wall was placing for archers to stand and shoot out.

The military also got tons of oil to pour down when the Demons come attacking. Chu got special magic arrays to lay out in the fields outside of the wall.

White Roses started to train the soldiers and new cultivators that joined the sect. The soldiers learned how to defend against attacks on the wall. From Na Yu's estimate, the soldiers were able to defend against twenty to thirty thousand demons if they attack by themselves.

Inside of the White Roses walls, everyone was hard at work. Dou Si reported that pretty much every single town around the outside edges of the region was taken over.

There was only a couple of towns that weren't taken over yet, around three from Dou Si's information. When Dou Si told Zuhn that one of the more bigger towns not taken over yet was Hencewood.

When Zuhn heard the name he got a little worried. Zuhn started his life in Hencewood and met Charlotte and Scar there. When Zuhn heard the news he made his way to Chu.

Zuhn wanted to know if Chu had any way of reaching Hencewood quickly, with Zuhn's speed he could make it there in seven days minimum. When Zuhn finally found Chu, Chu gave him a very good answer.

Chu could perform a quick teleport to the area, but Zuhn would have to come back by foot. Zuhn agreed with the idea before he left he made sure to tell all of the core disciples of his plan.

Liu offered to come with Zuhn, but Zuhn denied her. He wanted her to stay and protect White Roses with everyone else. When Zuhn returned to Chu,Chu made a magic circle and transported Zuhn to Hencewood.

When Zuhn arrived at Hencewood, it was the same as when he left. He was teleported into the slums inside of an alley. Zuhn walked out of the alley and made his way to Charlotte's house.

Zuhn made sure to conceal his aura down a lot, back down to Silver 1. He didn't want to be noticed by the people around him. When Zuhn got to Charlotte's house, he knocked on the door three times.

On the other side of the door, Zuhn could hear footsteps walking around. A little slit in the door opened, Scar was looking through. When Scar saw Zuhn he quickly closed the slit in the door and opened the main door.

"Zuhn! I can't believe you are back."

"Yes, indeed. Is Charlotte home?"

"Yes, She is in the back, I'll go get her."

Zuhn nodded and stood next to the door. When Scar went into the back, there were several voices in the back. When Charlotte heard that Zuhn was back, she walked out from the back of her house.

When Charlotte walked out she first made eye contact with Zuhn.

"And, What would you like?"

"Ah, Well… White Roses has asked me to bring Hencewood to their compound."

"White Roses? Aren't they the only sect in the continent truly fighting against the Demon Sect?"

"Yes, they are. They've asked me to come here and bring a lot of people back to their compound. I'm a bit of the weaker people there, so they asked me to collect people from this town to come back with me to safety."

"Weaker ones? Before you left Hencewood you were high silver ranked or early gold. But right now you are only Silver 1."

"Ah, About that. I concealed by aura so I wouldn't get noticed by the members in the slums."

**

Outside of the walls of Hencewood loud explosions echoed throughout the whole town. It was a small earthquake, causing all of the building to shake.

The guards on the outside of the walls called out that they were being attacked by Demon Sect. When the news of the attack spread throughout the town, everyone got their weapons and prepared for battle.
