[201-400] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 300 - Collapse of the Ladros City: District Three

The forces of Ladros City were on the losing side. The casualties kept growing every minute. More than ten thousand people have already died and it will continue to increase.

They were protecting the civilians while fighting powerful foes and that put them in a very disadvantaged position. So they created barriers on their battlefield to protect civilians. Maintaining these barriers while fighting the Seven Deadly Sins was a very hard thing to do. But what could they do? They couldn't just let those innocent people died in front of them.

If they didn't create a barrier on their battlefield. They could destroy this entire city in just one or two more hours. The aftershocks of their battle will wipe out this city on the map of the Hebrei Kingdom.

Currently, the state of the battle was much worse than before. The district one was gone. This was the worse district out of all districts at the moment. Only people above A-rank were alive and they were fighting the higher-rank officer of the Seven Deadly Sins. Except for those people, no one managed to survive. The casualties in this district already surpassed twenty thousand.

That's only the estimated number of ordinary people that died. It didn't include the adventurers, city guards, and illegal people from the underground world.

Districts two and four were different but more than half of it was destroyed. The combined forces of the Dark Oculus Legion and the merchant's forces were slowly getting pushed back.

Lumilia, the commanding officer of the alliance, knew that they couldn't defeat the forces of the Seven Deadly Sins. She just wanted them to delay the opponent's forces while they were creating a defense line in district three. They were also gathering the loose forces of the adventurers and city guards in two districts. Also, help the civilians from both districts in evacuating towards district three.

In the meantime, district three was the safest place in all districts. Lumilia and the rest already cleaned the forces of the Seven Deadly Sins. They wouldn't win in a one-on-one battle but they could win if they used their numbers. The only problem was the barrier in the middle of the district. Inside this barrier, the teachers were fighting the seven-circle officer of the Seven Deadly Sins. If the teachers lose then they would also die because no one among them could be a match to a powerhouse that reached SSS-rank or Hero-rank. Even if that powerhouse was injured they still wouldn't be able to kill that person because of the large disparity in their power levels.

District five wasn't better than district three. The nobles could barely withstand the forces of the Seven Deadly Sins. The family heads of the noble households were the one who was fighting the seven-circle officer. The family heads couldn't be underestimated. Some of them were weaker than Gregory and some were stronger. They were enough to fight a single seven-circle officer at SSS-rank.

"We had to hold for another thirty minutes," Lumilia said with a grave expression.

"Thirty minutes... I wonder how many of our subordinates will die at that time." Jimmy said as he looked at the barrier in the middle of district three. If the teachers lose before the reinforcement arrived then they will die. He could only hope that the teachers who were fighting the seven-circle officer could hold for a while.

"We lost contact with some of our forces. We couldn't verify if they died or not." Lumilia said as she took out the transmission talisman. She didn't even know if Yujin and Alice that she sent in districts two and four were still alive.

"We have no way to observed the battlefield. If we fly in the sky, those people would shoots countless spells at us." One of the leaders of a merchant group said. He tried sending people to observed the battle in three districts but the forces of the Seven Deadly Sins shut them down immediately.
