Chapter 401: Sword Harbor’s Crisis!
Translator: Translation NationEditor: Translation Nation
These old men already had a foot in the grave.
In fact, if they had even a bit of strength, they wouldn't have stayed in the village.
Everyone able had already moved to Sword Harbor, and besides the Dark Knight guarding the Blood Cross path to prevent a large group of soldier sneak attacking White River Valley from Jewel Bay, White River Valley was indeed nearly empty.
The Black Hand Thieves truly made an accurate judgement.
The elders looked at each other, a cold expression appearing on their faces.
In any case, they were about to die. It wasn't too scary.
One of them said with a quivering voice, ”We don't have money.”
”Youths, you did so much, but won't get any benefits. Wait until Sir Marvin returns and you'll pay the price of your offense.”
Even though the old man's tone was gentle, the content was extremely serious.
”Marvin?”
That fierce man laughed heartily. ”You old farts actually believe in that unreliable Overlord?”
”Let me tell you the truth!”
”The Marvin you are hoping for died long ago. He offended the highest higher-up in the South Wizard Alliance. Even your so-called hero can only end up dying.”
The elderly men remained unmoved.
They were long-time inhabitants of White River Valley.
They had experienced the Gnoll Disaster, witnessed Marvin floating down on the golden bulls, heard of the Crimson Patriarch's attack, and also seen Marvin fall down from the World Tree... but he still ended up returning as a king.
[Magical Marvin] might be just a name to outsiders.
But to White River Valley's inhabitants, their Overlord Marvin was truly able to create miracles.
Regardless of how disastrous the calamity was, they believed that their Overlord would lead them to survival.
”He will return.”
A stubborn old man resolutely insisted, ”It's like this every time, in time of need.”
”He'll return.”
”Fuck you!” The fierce thief grew angry and kicked that stubborn old man in the stomach.
The old man groaned and almost fainted.
The other elderly men had looks of sorrow. They were extremely angry but lacked the strength to lift a weapon, and even lacked the strength to stand.
A crafty-looking guy pulled the fierce thief and stopped him from doing anything worse. ”Let it be, don't bother with these old guys. They only have a few days to live.”
”Quickly plundering is the way to go.”
The others nodded.
They were thieves, not bandits, so even in this situation, they still didn't dare to go to Marvin's castle.
Because there were certainly still some experts defending that place. Only the defenses under the mountain could be considered weak.
They had to take advantage of this opportunity to take as much as they could.
At that time, that old man who had been kicked down crawled up and pointed angrily at the thieves. ”You devils! You are bound to go to Hell!”
”I don't know whether I'll go down to Hell, but I know that you'll definitely die before me!” That sinister robber had reached the limits of his patience. He fished out a knife and walked over menacingly.
The other elders stared at him, anxious about the cruel scene on the verge of happening.
But suddenly, thunder rumbled in the distance!
This thunderous sound, although powerful, didn't affect the old men.
On contrary, those thieves went limp, bleeding from their noses and kneeling on the ground.
The old people were watching in bewilderment.
In the distance, a shadow was quickly approaching!
A few thieves managed to raise their heads, noticing a cold and indifferent face looking down at them.
Marvin!
All the members of the Black Hand Thieves paled in terror!
The Alliance had claimed that Marvin was already dead!
How could he appear here?
But then, they noticed that an even more frightening lifeform had appeared in the sky.
He spiralled in the sky, but didn't come down.
Despite this, that powerful presence made the thieves unable to breathe!
A Black Dragon!
”Heavens…”
The thieves groaned one after the other.
Not only had Marvin returned... He even brought a Black Dragon back with him!
Such a disaster had actually fallen upon them.
A few of the elderly were crying tears of joy and saluting, ”Overlord!”
”Lord Marvin!”
Marvin waved his hand, indicating that it was okay to sit.
He turned his head and gave the thieves a severe look.
The thieves felt extremely guilty. A smart one among them tried to speak. ”We only…”
”Woosh!”
The blade left a shadow.
He'd barely started talking when all the thieves' heads were cut off!
”Sorry, I don't have time for your bullshit.”
