Wu Juetian had given his word to the dark ones that he would be able to defeat Wang Tong, and in exchange, the dark ones had also given him the rights to command. At this point, even the divine lord, Patroclus himself would not be able to intervene in the matter.
The moment Wu Juetian got the news of Wang Tong's attack, he led his most loyal men—mostly turn-cloaks from the Dark Witch Sect, and stormed back toward Mephisto. All the while, he could only pray to the gods that the meager defense he had left at the city would be able to fend off the humans' attack until he returned.
Wu Juetian started at dusk, and he didn't reach Mephisto until dawn. Looking at the city from afar, Wu Juetian heaved a sigh: it seemed that the city walls were not breached. As long as he could re-enter the city, he would still have a chance of winning the war.
