"Hahahaha!" Looking at the approaching figures from the other end of the street, Aiden burst into a hearty guffaw. Hisughter rang throughout the drenched street, bringing just a bit of shine and luster into the gloomy atmosphere.


    He couldn''t be happier and feel more warmth inside his heart as he looked at his faithful servants. Even though, they were notmanded to do so, each of them, when heard that their master was facing the enemy all alone, decided to act on their own and left their current assignments and groups toe to the Young Master''s aid.


    Even if that would have ruined all that work in the recent days, none of them hesitated at all and rushed over.


    Looking at them, Aiden understood it all without the need for words.


    The moment he saw their return, he understood everything.


    However, even though he was emotional and his lips were quivering at this moment, he could not say a single word.


    "[Reptilian] Do not worry, Young Master I am here too!"


    Suddenly, a tall silhouette of a burly figure appeared on the battlefield. With a loud roar, he swung his massive hunk of a tail and repelled two priests!


    "[Reptilian] Tak ? You came too?"


    Thetest addition to their ranks, the humongous, musclebound evolved lizardman''s heart skipped a beat when he heard the voice of his Young Master as he turned towards him in disbelief.


    Together with him, all of Aiden''s captains that were sent out to all parts of the city have returned to their Young Master in his time of need!


    A warm feeling surged through Aiden''s heart when he saw that – his injuries no longer felt as painful.


    There was no need for words or thanks.


    Understanding the fact that the four of them had never left and returned to fight shoulder to shoulder with him during the most critical juncture was more than enough.


    "Hahahaha!"


    Finally, Aiden once again burst out intoughter. This time however he wasn''t the only oneughing. All of his servants, Madam Dara, Lady Pyre as well as the four Saurus Captains and the huge troll-like Tak have joined in their symphony.


    Amidst the shing swords and entrapment, the seven of them looked drenched and wretched. Yet, they wereughing wantonly in happiness from the bottom of their hearts.


    Someone teared but in the blink of an eye, it was mixed with the rain and rolled down their cheek.


    "[Reptilian] Little One… Why were you sote to show up? Didn''t we agree toe as fast as we can?" As Tak got closer, one of the captains asked.


    Therge hunk of giant shed an embarassed smile and scratched the back of his head as he hesitantly answered.


    "[Reptilian] I… I got lost."


    …


    "[Reptilian] Young Master, we apologize for going against your order, but we could not, and will not stay behind when you are facing the enemy all on your lonesome! Our ce is by yours side!" Madam Dara turned towards the Young Master''s direction and whilst ignoring the encirclement, bowed in respect. "You can punish uster, but we could not sit still whilst you were facing them all alone."


    By now, all of them have finally gathered on the battlefield and were already surrounded. Even if they wanted to retreat, there was no way for them to do so unless they wiped the church''s massive force out.


    Even though, Madam Dara and Lady Pyre were considered an exceptionally strong individuals, on the precipice of breaking through their mortal limits, there were dozens of zealots of simr strength around them.


    It was especially so for the Saurus Captains and Tak who had just advanced to their current ranks. Their roots were not stable yet and they could notpare to the others in terms of strength. The twodies were vastly superior to them in terms of strength.


    The moment the seven of them entered the battlefield, they were surrounded.


    Thankfully, Madam Dara could maneuver the battlefield with ease due to peculiar abilities and affinity with the darkness. Through her skillful mastery of shadowy arts, she helped the rest of them resolve multiple crises.


    Eventually the group of eight, now joined up by their Young Master gradually gathered at the center of all themotion.


    There were a few times when Madam Dara wanted to break out of the entrapment to assist the Young Master. However, Lady Pyre and the others would be in immediate danger the moment she was slightly distracted.


    Nobody would be able to imagine the terror of being attacked by hundreds of fanatic zealots unless they experienced it personally!


    From all directions, the attacks fell like torrential rain relentlessly.


    "[Reptilian] That… woman seems rather adept…"


    "[Reptilian] Still, her power is far from even the bishops, much less the archbishops! She doesn''t stand a chance. She is still weaker than their opponents, after all."


    "[Reptilian] That''s right… even ants can kill an elephant in numbers. The appearance of those seven strangers isn''t going to affect the situation much. They are merely dying their deaths."


    Many of the onlookers discussed from the distance.


    ? Even though Madam Dara and the others had returned to the battlefield and changed the situation, no one thought highly of them.


    After all, the numbers were still stacked against the hooded stranger, Aiden''s group!


    However, everyone''s impression towards the seductive Madam Dara and the others changed with time.


    Huddled together, Madam Dara, Lady Pyre, the four captains and Tak formed a strict formation.


    As the strongest one, Madam Dara took one corner.


    Not too far away from her, and of almost equal strength, if notcking only in willpower to resist the maddening innate power of hers, Lady Pyre stood firmly at the other corner.


    The rest each took up a position of their own, forming a peculiar geometrical shape as they stood strong relying on each other.


    Their formation was extremely stable and unyielding. With no obvious openings and constant changes, their chemistry was wless and they managed to withstand the rushes of hundreds of zealots!


    On the contrary, there were priests getting injured and dying all around the seven of them.


    Aiden had led them to this ce from the borders of the massive underground cave all the way to this city and they had been through way too many battles and dangerous situations.


    Their journey had been arduous and filled with killing.


    This was a formation they were all too familiar with!


    "[Reptilian] What are you idiots doing?! Head over there and kill the four of them!" Elder Loran roared in anger andmanded swiftly.


    Before long, once more, he and Elder Zhorl were the only ones left in front of Aiden.
