Chapter 232
"Stay in your rooms! No one is to leave!" vin shouted as he gripped his ancient sword and
dashed forth.
"Rally with the guards! Take cover!" Mari followed in hot pursuit.
Mercenaries! There were barbaric mercenaries.
Bands of them, ferocious and fierce and all powerful Mages, stormed through the crumbled
breaches in the western, northern, and southeastern walls, rampaging through the dpidated city
quarters, setting fires, and sowing chaos. The sudden anarchy caught the city''s defenders off guard
as they scattered to give chase, angrily intercepting the intruders. But the ancient city was too vast,
and they could not cover all the grounds.
"Don''t panic!"
"All troops, secure the walls! No one is to breach!"
"Mage units, y the intruders."
"Thousand Treasures Commerce, secure your caravans."
"Lord Lawren, please assist in the pursuit."
Lucan and others bellowed in rage, their calls echoing through the quarters as they gathered their
forces and descended upon the old city, desperately hunting down the invaders.
Howling and bellowing, the mercenaries shouted and looted, darting through the dark streets,
cunningly evading their pursuers. They spread out as much as possible, sowing chaos everywhere
to distract the guards of the Mallister family.
"Ha-ha, where''s the treasure? Where is it!" A band of mercenaries suddenly burst into the
residential area, shouting wildly and unleashing gales and consuming mes.
People ran in panic, screaming in terror. Children who got startled from their sleep wailed loudly.
"The caravan is there! Let’s go!" Several groups of mercenaries spotted the convoy of The
Thousand Treasures Commerce and rushed to attack in a frenzy.
"Looking for an early grave, are you?" Daman bellowed, swinging his hefty staff through the air,
bringing it down with a thunderous crash that shook the ground, echoing like thunder and deafening
to the ears. A violent earthquake swept through a kilometer radius, and the ground split open with
wide, ghastly cracks, stones flying, and dust billowing while a wild surge of air waves roared out like
an uncontroble deluge, striking in all directions.
The approaching mercenaries didn''t even have time to scream before they were shattered by the
shockwave!
The shocking and brutal scene brought a sudden halt to the other mercenaries'' advance.
"Who''s the whelp daring to rob The Thousand Treasures Commerce''s caravan?" Daman roared,
resonating like a great bronze bell, thunderous and ear-splitting.
"Retreat!" The surviving mercenaries ran without looking back, disappearing into the surrounding
alleys.
Balder frowned deeply. "Have these mercenaries gone mad? They know there are over two
thousand Mages in Stormcast, isn''t this suicide?"
Daman replied with his resonant voice, "In such a vast ancient city, are two thousand Mages really
that many?"N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
Elsewhere, a group of mercenaries attempted to storm the city hall, but vin led a counter-attack.
"You''vee to the wrong ce!"
The Dawnedge de rose, unleashing a sky full of sword''s energy, striking down three mercenaries
in an instant. After advancing to an Advanced Mage, vin’s strength increased manifold.
"Kill! There are treasures inside the city hall!" Hundreds of mercenaries charged relentlessly,
seemingly unaffected.
"Shadowlord. The realm of ughter." vin''s eyes suddenly sharpened. A fierce intent to kill was
emanating from him, as dark energy swept across the field.
"Ah!" The weaker mercenaries screamed in anguish, as if plummeting into a nightmare. Even the
stronger mercenaries were somewhat affected, their consciousness briefly clouded. The fierce
onught was abruptly stopped.
Mari followed swiftly, charging out of the city hall and leaping into the midst of the mercenaries.
Her feet touched the ground in an instant, and the ground froze and crystallized. A harsh cold wind
spread, causing two men who froze solid and five who were repelled to be covered with frost.
vin leaped into the air, somersaulting 360 degrees into the ranks of the mercenaries. Frenzied
lightning exploded from his body. "Thunderous Deluge!" True Thunder, the second stage!
Other guards charged out, emboldened by the bravery of vin and Mari, each of them shouting
loudly, pouncing on the mercenaries like ferocious wolves.
"Show no mercy!" vinmanded fiercely,
At the city gate, a ze shot into the sky, boiling like a dragon''s tail sweeping down from the
heavens, striking the district.
Lucan, wielding his warde with a murderous aura, unleashed a surge of mes engulfing
hundreds of meters. He stood like a demon god facing the formidable ranks of mercenaries.
The guards of the Mallister family, the Rocke family, and the Mages of the guild joined the pursuit,
and the ancient city under the cover of night became even more chaotic and restless.
These mercenaries were bold and ruthless, setting fires and causing wanton destruction, daring to
sh head-on with the likes of Lucan.
