Chapter 148: Late (1/2)

Two days have passed and the Blood sect army came knocking on Avalon kingdom's walls. Only two thousand meters separated the army from the wall. It was surrounded from all directions. Luckily, Avalon was prepared. Thanks to Elizabeth supervising the preparations herself, they manage to finish everything in one day. However, the danger was still here. Finishing early didn't change the fact that they were being attacked.

”Why don't you guys give up already?!” A man came closer and closer to the wall, his voice sounded strong even from far away. When he was about 500 meters away, a lightning arrow hit him in the head. Oliver, who has been training for two years, didn't even give him the chance to get one step closer. He didn't even warn him.

Oliver was another surprise for the Avalon kingdom. Only two years have passed, yet he managed to become a cultivator at Earth Establishment level 6. His speed was no slower than Griffin's or any noble who cultivated from a young age.

”You should respect your elders, boy.” The man who was hit by an arrow simply stood still. The lightning arrow crumbled away instead of injuring him. Oliver was not shocked at all. The man was a Heavenly Establishment cultivator, and the arrow only served as a warning.

”Respect is earned. Blood sect will never be worthy of our respect.” Eric who was standing on the wall alongside the other flew, and stood right in front of the man. The man in front of him was not the one who injured Leonard, but he wasn't a pushover. Both of clashed, announcing the start of the war.

Elizabeth, Griffin, Sebas, and the seven remaining Elders of Glory sect all engaged the enemy in battle. Bella was not allowed to fight, as she only hit King Establishment level 4. Her speed was also stunning, but Oliver took the spotlight. Becky also managed to achieve Earth Establishment level 9 after cultivating hard for two years. She was tasked with the protection of Bella.

Avalon kingdom used all of the available militants. Sect disciples and army soldiers. Even the cultivators that weren't enlisted in any of those joined them in order to protect the kingdom. However, the enemy numbers were too overwhelming. The enemy had both monsters and cultivators; it wasn't going to be an easy fight.

”Focus on reducing the number of monsters first! Be careful of the ones that can hide underground!” Eric gave the orders while fighting the man. The man had a higher cultivation, but they were even. Both of them fought for a while, and Eric was gaining the upper hand. Griffin and the others were also fighting strong opponents, monsters, and humans.

”Let me in on the fun!” a man suddenly appeared behind Eric's enemy. Eric was surprised but managed to react in time.

”You bastard!” Eric recognized him as the man that took Leonard's arm. He became furious the moment he saw. Unfortunately, fighting two strong opponents was too much for Eric. Yet, before they could even fatally injure him, an old man joined the fight by flying like a white arrow. He knocked away the man using Leonard's weapon.

”I'm not going to let you bastards do whatever you want!” he spoke to them while standing next to Eric.

”My my. It's the all-seeing Edmund. It's a pleasure to meet you.” Eric's first opponent recognized the old man. It was Edmund whom Ed had met on the tenth floor of the Tower of Strength. He was the one looking for Ed every day for the past eight months.

”It's not my pleasure.” Edmund snorted while looking at him.

”I thought we told you not to get involved. We don't want bystanders to get hurt in our affairs.” Eric scolded him for joining a war that didn't concern him.

”But it is my affair. Edward saved my life, how can I stand by and let his brother get killed.” Edmund didn't forget the help he received from Ed.
