Chapter 73 - Chapter 73: Chapter 71: Gathering Forces (2/2)

“Great Priest, when do we attack?”

The old Tempest Priest shook his head, gazing at the Isaac family mansion and said, “Wait a little longer, there are still some who haven’t arrived yet.”

After a while, dozens of people rushed over, it turned out to be Aaron, the elder of the silver descendants, along with Emil, who brought dozens of guards.

They were able to occupy an entire street for residence because the church had accepted them, and according to the covenant, they needed to exert their efforts at times like this.

Aaron, Irene, and Byrne exchanged glances, then looked again at Emil, who stood at the very front of the silver descendants, as if the true elder.

The three of them understood each other immediately without saying a word.

With the addition of a high-level Beginning Spellcaster and a high-level Beginning Bloodline Knight, their number of Extraordinary Exponents reached nine.

Adding the two Fischers, there were five individuals at the high-level Beginning Rank, and with the many armed commoners, their advantage gradually became more apparent.

The town chief looked back at the old priest until, at last, the priest sighed, knowing that now the only choice was to fight.

His expression darkened as he spoke loudly,

“Attack, charge in and capture all members of the Isaac family. The main targets are those three Extraordinary Exponents, we cannot let any of them escape!”

The old priest’s eyes were fierce as he spoke without hesitation, “Be prepared to launch an attack at any time, and it’s fine to kill the targets if necessary!”

Although he had been close friends with Lady Isaac for many years, once he had made up his mind, the old priest knew there could be no wavering.

On the battlefield, even the slightest hesitation could be fatal— it could even doom everyone!

Since Lady Isaac chose the Sea God Cult, she was seeking her own death, so there was simply no need for pity now.

The patrol guards then approached and shouted, demanding that the Isaac family’s guards open the door or else they would use alchemical explosives to blast their way in.

The guards of the Isaac family had already been pushed to the limit and finally made a choice, dejectedly opening the gate and meekly stepping out, immediately dropping their weapons to show they had no intention of resisting.

Seeing this scene, Irene shook her head and said to Byrne,

“The subordinates we really need are definitely not like these people.”

The sheriff immediately had those guards of the Isaac family seized, their hands bound behind their backs with ropes, checking every face to see if the three Isaac siblings were among them.

Just then, everyone suddenly heard a long whistle sound from afar.

“They’ve climbed over the wall and are running that way! We chase!”

While everyone actually said nothing, they took for granted one thing: the low-level Transmutation Knight Extraordinary Exponents were highly mobile and had great stamina, they didn’t have any cavalry, so it would be very difficult to catch that person.

The most important targets were still to capture Lady Isaac and her two Beginning-Level Extraordinary Exponent brothers, and it could be considered the mission was accomplished for now.

Something seemed off, Byrne’s brow was tightly furrowed as he felt there was an issue somewhere, but with no experience in commanding combat, he was greatly inexperienced.

He just felt the atmosphere was odd but couldn’t articulate any specific reason, and could only quietly lead the family members to fall back behind the crowd.

Although Mayor Andes was a Middle Rank Beginning Extraordinary Exponent, he had no combat experience whatsoever, let alone the ability to command the patrol teams.

He could only steel himself and ask the old priest and sheriff,

“Should we split into two groups, one to charge in here and one to intercept them, or should all of us go after the fleeing ones?”

The old priest had experienced warfare and was rich with commanding experience. Just as he was about to answer after pondering, he suddenly turned his head to look at the estate wall not far away.

“Evade!”

The wall beside the gate suddenly showed a multitude of cracks, followed by hundreds of pieces of stone and dirt exploding outward in an instant, like a deathly whirlwind blasting open towards the unsuspecting crowd!
