478 Impregnable Wall Part 2 (2/2)

Even the Tanggulasi wealthy that had dealings with them secretly did not give any appropriate information. She could only blame her luck.

”They will break down the door sooner or later. Our cavalries can't be of any use here, the infantry troops definitely wouldn't be as good as them.” A shrewd looking woman said worryingly.

”The Agares family does not have that much time. Not only has the Tangglasi Empire invaded, Cloudflow is entering Titan from the south too. At most in a month, Bifano will pull back. If not he will not be able to hold Fire Dance City.” The female mage said confidently.

”Aunt Eleanor, I don't think so. Bifano has connections with people from the Qin Empire and has brought with him many powerful mages. They will definitely have some idea of how to break down the door rapidly. You even said they couldn't open the tunnel, but aren't they in it now?” A youth in white magic robes contradicted the female mage.

”That's right, Aunt Eleanor, father has been gone for so long. You should tell everyone what his secret is. Please Do not say that we shouldn't know.” Another mage added.

”The two of you, what attitude is that?!” An even younger swordsman pointed at the two youths with his short sword.

”What attitude? Brother, did Aunt Eleanor leave all the good things to you?” Father was good at both magic and swordsmanship, why can't we be as well? You, mother and son, have been dominating the army. What ideas do you both have?”

”I haven't hidden anything that father left behind.” Upon hearing the excessive words from the younger generation, the female mage raised her eyebrows. She said angrily, ”Was it you mother's wish that you would say such things?”

”Big sister, I would not dare. What do you all say?”

The females around the table stuck close to the female warrior in magic armor. They threw the female mage ,Eleanor, a cold look. Besides her son, the rest looked at her questioningly.

Sister ties, blood relationships; they were all fake at the end of the day. When trouble came, these people only thought about how they could get any benefits, not one really wanted to keep their foundation.

The hall was incredibly noisy at that moment. The women that had a shrewd look stopped the commotion and eased the tension. She said to the female mage, ”Big sister, we still have three-thousand cavalrymen, we can choose to look to anyone for support, why wait here for our death?”

”This is My husband's life's work.” Eleanor replied sadly.

”If that is the case, why aren't his secrets of both magic and swordsmanship here? Big sister, if that is the case, you are treating us as outsiders. How do you want us to command the army to battle?”

”My husband… even if you found the secret that he has left behind, do you think we can become who he was immediately?”

”There is still a hope, you made so many people follow you. There can't be no results at the end of the day. The eldest child is already a high-grade swordmaster, another step and he will be a grand swordmaster. Such talents are hard to find even in the empire. If he doesn't get the secrets of both magic and swordsmanship and become a mage, what hopes are there left?”

”You all assume that I have taken my husband's secrets for myself, but have you seen me practice any swordsmanship? I can't touch the legacy that he has left behind. Why else would I be willing to hide away here?” The female mage said calmly. She was the marquis' formal wife. When he was alive, everyone lived harmoniously. Now, these women had different ideas and wanted to force her hand. Even though she was calm on the surface, she was hurting inside.

”That is hard to say, our husband had created so many secret magic medicines, surely one of them can let one learn both magic and swordsmanship? Our fourth Son is still small, but he is already a swordmaster. Is this not the work of these secret magic medicines? Since they can accelerate one's swordsmanship training, why can they not form magic chords as well?

”Stop this!” The female mage was furious. The marquis did leave behind many magic medicines, if not all his children would not be geniuses and have decent abilities now. She really had no idea about any magic medicine that could allow one to be good at both magic and swordsmanship. If there was such a thing, why would she be stingy? The marquis had left behind the prescription for these medicines. She was a grand mage and she could easily create more.

At this moment, a bandit rushed in, knelt and exclaimed, ”Master, they are digging through the wall!”

”Let them.” A female swordsman was just about to scold the bandit when another bandit rushed in and said, ”Master, they have almost dug through!”

”What?” The female mage stood up in disbelief, that metalized steel rock could not be dug through within a year and a half with a magic machinery. How could anyone outside do that?
