Chapter 141 - Chapter 141: Chapter 135 Ambush (2/2)
“`
“We are ready for the ambush, Mr. Byrne,” according to the military theory you’ve shared with us before, it’s advantageous to fight from higher ground, and now, we who occupy the high ground stand a better chance of winning.”
“And you were right, it is quite likely that the enemy who comes won’t be high-level Transmutation experts; the probability of that is actually very small.”
The people of the Vaughn family lay in ambush on the other side of the mountain, where they could provide cross-support to each other during the fight.
This battle had a good chance of success, and it was also a fight that they must win.
Byrne nodded, but still, he had no confidence at heart because no one could predict the true strength of high-level Transmutation experts.
He could only hope the opponents were not high-level Transmutation experts from the Sea God Cult.
Both ships had suffered heavy damages; the Fischer family had no escape and could only fight the enemy here!
Irene, dressed in a black robe, stood out calmly, looking towards the more than a hundred people ambushed on the mountain—all were from the Fischer family.
Her gaze swept over the Extraordinary Exponents and ordinary family soldiers as she spoke loudly:
“I think everyone actually knows that for years our Fischer family has been the laughingstock of people all along the East Coast! The slander! The disgust!”
“They call us cowards, good-for-nothings, disgusting wretches, but you all know that isn’t true! You are the heroes who can kill the enemy on the battlefield; you are brave and powerful Cyart people!”
“Now that the formidable enemy is about to arrive, and the Vaughn family is over there, let’s show them right here! Let them witness our courage and strength!”
Byrne and Chris remained silent, both deeply aware of one thing.
She was ready.
If the enemy truly were high-level Transmutation adversaries, the most sensible choice would be for Irene to use the sacred object with immense power to sacrifice the rest of her life to take away the life of the powerful enemy.
Chris finally couldn’t help but pray, Great Lord of the Lost, please don’t take away my sister Irene.
Byrne murmured to himself, “She has always been loyal to You, extremely devout, deserving of a better ending!”
Every person tensed up, their palms sweating.
Eventually, the people from the Sea God Cult landed.
Atop the mountain, the Fischers held their breath, using the vegetation to conceal themselves, each one filled with tension, insanity, and fear from the previous night not yet fading from their hearts.
Chris, utilizing his “Trap Master” abilities, had laid numerous alchemical explosives and paraffin in precision-hidden chain traps along the beach road leading up to the mountain.
The moment those people started to search in this direction, the numerous traps on the slope would be immediately triggered, and the enemy would be devastated!
They saw the Sea God Cult followers disembark cautiously without touching the two ships at first, slowly searching upon the beach.
A half-hour passed before they began to make their way towards the mountain, and just as the Cult’s followers began to ascend the slopes,
Suddenly, the traps were triggered!
“Boom boom boom!”
A series of explosions in rapid succession echoed across the entire island, followed by horrific wails and screams of despair; the Sea God Cult followers suffered heavy casualties!
“It worked!”
“Yes!”
The people of the Fischer family, along with those from the Vaughn family who saw this scene, couldn’t help but cheer!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; had the enemy been cautious enough not to trigger the chain traps, the ensuing battle would have been much more difficult.
At the same time, Patriarch Vaughn, Baron Vaughn, showcasing his powerful “Sunrise Roaring Tiger” Bloodline power, unleashed a massive heat-filled orb of light that exploded in the distance, causing another large-scale explosion!
“Boom!”
On the flaming hillside, the already heavily injured followers of the Sea God Cult were hit hard once more, nearly being annihilated.
Byrne was also very pleased; the ambush was very successful, and they were close to winning. As long as there were no high-level Transmutation experts among the enemy, victory was within reach!
[Disaster has arrived]
Without sorrow or joy, a voice that emerged from deep within froze all the Fischers in place.
It was the voice of the Great Lord of the Lost, and undoubtedly, it meant the battle was far from over; in fact, it had just begun.
Furthermore, a being that could be called a disaster for the Fischer family could only be, at the very least, a high-level Transmutation Extraordinary powerful expert!
“What’s wrong with all of you? Don’t be afraid!”
Elder Aaron, who had not heard the warning, stepped out, seeing the Fischers’ weird expressions, drew his sword to take the lead and charge forth with bravery.
“Don’t be cowards anymore! Give the order, annihilate those bastards from the Sea God Cult!”
A pure stream of water shot out from the mountain at an incredibly high speed, covering a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, and smoothly slicing Elder Aaron’s waist in an unstoppable force!
“How is this possible, it simply can’t be!”
Aaron could hardly believe it, his eyes bulging, fresh red blood crazily pouring from his mouth, Byrne, Irene and the others were also filled with astonishment at the scene.
Byrne looked at Aaron’s death somewhat blankly, and a profound sense of terror suddenly surged within him, making his entire body shiver uncontrollably.
He, carrying the ideals of saving the silver descendants, with many ambitions yet to be achieved, died so easily and unremarkably, without even a hint of warning.
