The City Lord's Mansion had collected six million spirit stones, while Carson Flores and Situ Xiu had gathered twenty-five million spirit stones; the thirty-one million spirit stones had been depleted by twenty-two million in the past six days.
In the first day, five million were used up, averaging three million six hundred thousand per day over six days, a number that was much less than previously estimated.
The anxiety of everyone had increased since Zion Frost's departure on the fourth day, as the consumption of spirit stones had sharply decreased.
What was Zion Frost up to?
He surely wouldn't have left without reason. If he abandoned the operation, then it would be meaningless for the others to stay.
He must return, perhaps with reinforcements, or perhaps with a secret weapon.
Worry as they might, the city still had to be defended.
