Chapter 928 - Boiling City (2/2)

But now…

Clive shivered at the sight of the massive human wave. If the Alanic Family realized that they couldn’t handle the riots, Shane would surely seek reinforcements from the Country of Light. On the other hand, if Clive failed to get help from the Void Territory before the Country of Light’s reinforcements arrived, everything would be done for!

However, another cause for concern was that the Void Territory was still a new territory. What gave him a bigger headache was that it would take a longer time for reinforcements to come from the Void Territory than the Country of Light. Would they be here just in time?

“Wait for a while more.”

Rhode showed a wicked smile. Now wasn’t the time yet as the Alanic Family’s trump card hadn’t been revealed. Even if Rhode didn’t have the dragon soul powers and only possessed legendary powers of over level 60, he felt no pressure against the rioters. Although the rioters appeared aggressive, a single person could be more than enough to take them all down. Even Marlene in her pre-awakened form could defeat them because they were only humans. After all, they lacked spiritual powers and precious magic armors and weapons to protect themselves. They were nothing more than critters in the face of a powerful Mage.

So…

Finding the balance is an art.

Rhode extended his arm and two cards flashed in his hand.

“I’ll leave them to you, my princesses.”

“Hehehe…”

Crisp giggles sounded and the window behind him burst open with its curtains fluttering in the breeze. The adorable voices gradually faded away and into the other end of the dark, night sky.

“Stand up, brothers!”

The leading rioter snarled as he witnessed the armored soldiers and enormous manor on the hills. He held a torch in his left hand and a bloodied sword on the other. Behind him was a group of people filled with anger and murderous intent. They were mostly young and middle-aged men who were miners. They were once incredibly afraid of this place as though it was the demon lord’s home. But now, they no longer needed to fear the ones who enslaved them because they were about to use their blood, weapons, and turn their lives into the screams of their souls to make those bastards learn their wrath and power!

“Stop right now and leave this place!”

The captain standing at the top of the watchtower shivered at the sight of the masses. He clutched his crossbow and couldn’t calm down at all. The streets were filled with people and flares like slow, flowing lava. Not only that, but he also realized that his soldiers were exceedingly nervous. Damn it! You guys aren’t any country bumpkins! You’re the elites of the Viper Gang! What’s there to be tense about some slaves!

“Push forward and block the door. Get ready for battle!”

The captain kicked one of his soldiers fiercely and ordered in panic. Shortly after, the defensive line was formed by the powerful elites from the Viper Gang, Shane’s direct subordinates!

“Hiss——”

All of a sudden, the captain heard a sinister and ice-cold voice from behind which made him shiver. He turned around hurriedly and witnessed a man who had his entire body wrapped in a black cloak. The captain turned from a fierce bear into a docile lamb instantly. He quickly stooped over and bowed.

“Sir.”

“Those slaves are still unwilling to leave?”

The man in black cloak gazed at the group of rioters gradually approaching.

“Yes, Sir, I’ve warned them many times. Those damn rioters… I wonder why they are so bold today…”

“Hmph.”

The man in black cloak let out a scoff and the captain instantly shut his mouth. The captain looked cautiously at the other man and asked.

“Sir, what do you intend to…”

The man in black cloak didn’t answer. Instead, he extended and swung his right hand.

Boom!

Several enormous, pitch-black stone statues descended from above and crashed into the crowd. The group of rioters came to an abrupt halt. No matter how angry they were, they were still surprised by the sudden appearance of monsters.

“Foolish. Lowly. Shameless.”

The man in black cloak gazed coldly at the people as though they were a bunch of brainless animals.

“Although I don’t know why you lowly slaves suddenly have the guts for this, this is the end. You’ve crossed the line so be prepared to pay with your life.”

The man’s voice sounded so sinister that it brought about an unprecedented, cold breeze. Then, he swung his arm and let out a snort.

“Kill them all.”

He ordered. The enormous stone statues widened their menacing jaw and growled as they pounced at the rioters.

The slaughter began.
