The night passed quickly, yet for some, it stretched on interminably.
Emperor Bai City of the North Continent had been turned upside down by an explosion.
The blast was so devastating, it made the expression "lifting three feet of ground" seem insignificant by comparison.
The entire officialdom of the North Continent had placed Emperor Bai City under martial law overnight.
The members of the Holy Alliance who hadn't fled were already reeling from the explosion, and now they were being hunted down by the authorities. Many were dead or injured, in a state of total disarray.
The smell of gunpowder filled Emperor Bai City in a single night, with a certain panic slowly spreading beyond the city.
Many people worried that the North Continent would become the center of a battlefield, just like the Western Continent.
However, some astute observers noted that the areas bombed in Emperor Bai City did not seem to have been chosen at random.
"Someone meticulously planned this!"
