Mofan listened to Apas' suggestion. He asked the Rock Monsters that were attacking the city to retreat to their caves.
"Crossbows!"
"Crossbows!"
Mo Fan yelled a few times. His voice reached every Rock Monster's ears.
The Rock Monsters looked at one another blankly. What exactly does the king want us to do? they wondered to themselves.
Apas almost rolled her eyes when she heard Mo Fan's roar. Did she have a retarded Contracted Master? He did not understand the language of the Rock Tribe at all. He kept roaring like a monkey. Who the heck would understand what he was trying to say?
"Let me tell them." Apas did not want to see Mofan embarrass himself like a lunatic. She took control of the Golden-Armored Wolframite Demon's voice and transmitted it to the Rock Monsters.
The Rock Monsters finally understood their king's intention. They quickly withdrew from the city.
"Remember to ask them to leave the Mages they devoured behind. Don't bring them to the caves. We're going to have to fish them out later," Mofan reminded them.
The Rock Monsters gradually withdrew from the city. Their bodies began to degenerate when they reached the rampart.
There were quite a lot of them. They lined up in a row and took off their sturdy armor, revealing their true appearances.
They used to be a bunch of Mud Morphing Monsters. As the Rock Monsters, the Rock Generals, and the Granite Beasts continued to degenerate, the rampart of the city seemed to have been washed by the mud. As the mud receded like the tide, the half-conscious Mages were like shiny shells …
The dawn of the city had finally arrived. The Battlemages and Mages that were guarding the clock tower were still stunned. They had no idea what had just happened.
Was it over?
Was it really over, just like that?
They were prepared for the worst, but it felt like everything had been saved in the blink of an eye. The barrier of the city, the Capital of Elemental Elements, and the Mages that were devoured by the Rock Monsters, apart from the ruins …
"It seems like everything changed after Mo Fan was devoured by the Black-Silver Armored Troll," Deputy Lieutenant Hou said.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's Mofan!" Fang Di hurriedly said.
"He must have done something. Originally, he wouldn't have attacked after suffering such heavy injuries. He must have a way to deliberately let the Black-Silver Armored Troll devour him. This is great!"
Naturally, Wen Xia also noticed it. Xie Qinghua deliberately walked to Wen Xia's side and said to her, "Let's follow them."
Xie Qinghua brought a few people with her and followed the Golden-Armored Wolframite Demon. The Golden-Armored Wolframite Demon was heading out of the city, but before it left the city center, they realized its body was rapidly degenerating. Mud kept falling from its body. Countless Mud Morphing Monsters were wriggling along its path.
Finally, the Golden-Armored Wolframite Demon disappeared close to the edge of the barrier. Mo Fan, who was wrapped in a gray cocoon, stood there tiredly. He was surrounded by a huge patch of mud. The mud was crawling into cracks and dark places like parasites that had lost their hosts.
"It's really Mo Fan!" Wen Xia blurted out in surprise.
The others immediately went up to Mo Fan with overjoyed looks.
Mo Fan had felt like his body was brimming with boundless energy not long ago. He could split a mountain with a single palm and shake the sea with a single kick, but now, he was just like the Mages that had been saved from the Rock Monsters. He was exhausted, as if his body had been emptied.
In his dizziness, Mo Fan saw the others surrounding him. Not long after, Mo Fan fell to the ground and fainted from exhaustion.
After all, it was a huge burden to carry such a strong body.
Luckily, the burden was not as bad as the Demon Element. He would recover after a few days of sleep.
…
…
"Why isn't he awake yet? Why don't you accept it on his behalf?" Wen Xia asked.
"I can't decide. You should wait for him to wake up," Apas said.
As Mo Fan listened to their conversation, he gradually regained his consciousness.
"What are you two whispering to each other? How did it go? Did the Rock Monsters leave?" Mo Fan opened his eyes. He seemed to be in good spirits.
"Mo Fan, you're finally awake," said Wen Xia with a hint of joy.
"I only slept for a short while. Why does it feel like I'm never going to wake up again?" Mo Fan shook his head. He felt like he had a hangover. His head was heavy and dizzy. He should be fine after some fresh air and some breakfast.
"You've been out for ten days. Many people have been looking for you. I told them you were dead," Apas said.
"Ten … ten days?" Mo Fan was startled. He had only slept for less than half an hour. He could still feel the exhilaration of the Golden-Armored Wolframite Demon half an hour ago. How was it possible that he had slept for more than a week? This was ridiculous!
"It's indeed been ten days. Everyone else has woken up, but you're still unconscious. We were planning to send you to the capital for treatment, but your little sister told us you're fine. It's fine to let you sleep like this," Wen Xia said.
Mo Fan was dumbfounded. How did time pass so quickly? He did not feel anything at all!
It seemed like the Ruler-level was not something that anyone could obtain easily. Perhaps he would never wake up again after a few more rounds!
"Alright, if you say it's a few days, then it's a few days. Anyway, how's the situation?" Mo Fan asked.
"They have all retreated. As the Capital of Elemental Magic, the city is going to be rebuilt on a large scale. With this barrier, we can make the city flourish again, even if it's backed by a bottomless hole. Either way, I'm really grateful for your help … my teacher, Lu Bin, and I were just discussing you a few days ago. My teacher even told the higher-ups that you are the Honorable Guardian of the city. You are entitled to the most honorable treatment in the city," Wen Xia said.
"Forget about the title. Don't look for me if you need anything in the city. I'm very busy," Mo Fan quickly rejected her offer.
"As I thought, you aren't interested in the resources at all. I initially thought you would try your best to help us since you are the owner of Fanxue Mountain and are close to the Donghai War City. It seems like Lu Bin was overthinking it," Wen Xia said.
"Overpriced?" Mo Fan was confused.
"Yeah, even though we are mining for the military, we are still selling the resources to the cities along the coast. Both the city and the military need funds to operate," Wen Xia said.
"If you insist on asking me to be the Honorable Guardian, I'll accept it reluctantly," Mo Fan sighed.
Wen Xia was startled.
