Chapter 394: Chapter 374 Byrne’s Miscalculation
The Fischer family forces took the initiative to strike out and intercept the enemy, anticipating three battlefields.
They were at Fiera Town with four Monarch powerful experts, Black Mountain Town with two Monarch powerful experts, and Chevron Town with six Monarch powerful experts.
Moreover, the “Wordless Elder” and “Black Starlight,” who had still not been spotted.
Byrne understood deep down all too well that these two enigmatic individuals were a major threat!
However, according to his speculation, the “Wordless Elder” had been severely injured by a strike from Irene ten years ago and likely weakened considerably. In addition, with half of their power suppressed by the National Defense Barrier, it was highly probable that they no longer possessed the strength of an upper-tier Monarch.
Therefore, the most troublesome enemy was only “Black Starlight”!
Byrne’s understanding of the mysterious “Black Starlight” was not comprehensive, but he recognized how powerful they were and had always overseen the Stars Embrace Order’s relentless infiltration into various small nations.
Zayne came to Byrne’s side and promised sternly, “Actually, it won’t be long before supporters from the True Gods Church in various parts of Cyart will arrive. Don’t worry, we just need to hold our ground!”
He paused for a moment and then continued, “Right, at least the people from the Tempest Church will definitely come!”
Byrne nodded slightly, knowing deep down that the message might not have spread that quickly and the people from the True Gods Church were likely to be one step behind.
His voice was transmitted to the Extraordinary Exponents through a special spell.
“They will only be able to encircle Nasir City a few hours from now, so we can focus our forces and take advantage of a timing gap first to weaken the enemy’s power…”
Zayne, standing beside him, immediately asked, “Byrne, regarding the Monarch-level Extraordinary Exponents in Black Mountain Town, there are actually only two of them. Shall we go and kill them?”
Should they do this?
Byrne fell into a long contemplation, always feeling an ominous premonition, as if he was about to step into a trap. After all, one should never underestimate the wisdom of the Wordless Elder and Black Starlight.
So, in the end, he still shook his head lightly and said:
“No, this flaw is too obvious. The Wordless Elder and Black Starlight are most likely lying in ambush around Black Mountain Town, waiting for us to go there.”
“Besides, you should also know that Black Mountain Town is at the angle between the other two towns.”
“Meaning, if we can’t take down the two Monarch powerful experts in Black Mountain Town quickly, we’ll end up completely surrounded and hit from both sides by the other two enemy forces!”
Zayne nodded his head, not denying it. Byrne, aware of the urgency of time, finally gave the order somberly.
“Chris, Lord Zayne, along with me, Amos, Ariel, and Lord Aldrich, let’s head to the west towards Fiera Town and intercept those four enemies!”
“We must kill them quickly!”
Every second counted.
Byrne kept calculating. As long as they could use their intelligence advantage and the timing difference for a six-versus-four, taking down the four enemies first, the remaining situation would be six against eight. With the help of the barrier and the military’s endurance, the gap would shrink considerably in the end.
Soon, Byrne led the other five towards the west.
Under the azure sky, six Extraordinary Experts soared through the heavens in their unique ways. In the eyes of the Nasir citizens, their figures became the most moving scenery between heaven and earth.
Byrne analyzed calmly:
“The enemy must also have methods for long-distance communication and passing on information, but certainly not as easily and effectively as us, so we can seize the advantage.”
The cunning Aldrich suddenly spoke:
“Next, Bishop Zayne and I will hide first, and the four of you will confront them…”
“Because if the six of us burst out together, we might scare the enemy off. Even if we want to quickly eliminate a few Monarch powerful experts, it would be quite difficult to do.”
He looked into Byrne’s eyes and said:
“So you will engage the enemy first, and then we will suddenly strike.”
Byrne nodded lightly and replied:
“Okay, I understand.”
Finally, under the heavens of Fiera Town, eight Extraordinary powerful experts gathered in the same airspace, creating a subtle and tense standoff between them.
The air seemed to solidify, even the wind ceased, as the whole world held its breath in anticipation.
“Blazing Fire” Amos deliberately said loudly:
“It’s four against four, plus the suppression of the barrier—our odds of winning are quite large, right?”
Byrne looked at the four enemies, and deep inside he couldn’t shake the feeling that the one in the back wearing a black cloak seemed very familiar.
Who was he?
Why was there such an intense feeling of familiarity? All along, it had only been family members who evoked such a strong sense of familiarity within him!
“Let’s retreat!” Bast suddenly said.
The irascible Marquis Vlad trembled all over just by looking at Chris, his veins bulging in rage.
“We can’t retreat! Why should we retreat? The two of us are Mid-Rank Monarch Exponents. We are more than capable of killing four of them!”
Bast regarded Byrne calmly, took a deep breath, and reminisced about many things:
“Because I know Byrne, and he must have come prepared.”
Bast and Marquis Vlad had an argument, and while Prince Conrad of Carnia hesitated, he made a decision and suddenly transformed into a pitch-black, gigantic Dragon of Despair.
“Kill them!”
The giant dragon was covered in scales deeper than the night itself; each one seemed to swallow the surrounding light, plunging everything nearby into eternal darkness and silence.
