Chapter 45 - Fierce Battle at Blackwater City I
Chapter 45: Fierce Battle at Blackwater City I
Translator: J_Squared Editor: J_Squared
Old Wilson found a few knights. They held shields in their hands as they protected Merlin while approaching the gate.
“Let’s try it.”
With only a thought, Merlin cast a fist-sized fireball instantly. This was only a normal Fireball. Merlin only wanted to test how sturdy this gate really was.
“Go!” Along with Merlin’s yell, the fireball immediately flew toward the gate.
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
The fireball crashed into the gate. Merlin did not cause the fireball to explode. Facing such a sturdy gate, the little fireball surely could not blast the gate off, so it could only burn a hole in the gate with its high heat.
However, this gate was exceptionally sturdy. Since the city gate was the last barrier to enter the city, its level of sturdiness was top notch.
Therefore, Merlin’s Fireball only left a half-inch-deep hole in the gate, unable to burn through the gate.
“I can’t do it in one go. Then, I’ll do it in the second and third try!” Merlin did not give up.
Although the Fireball did not work earlier, it had an effect on the gate. As long as he continued to cast Fireball, he would definitely be able to burn a hole through it.
“Swish.”
Another two fireballs flew toward the gate at an incredible speed. At the same place the first fireball had burnt, they began to melt the gate again. At that moment, the sturdy gate began to drip liquid iron.
“Psst…”
Finally, under the melting of two fireballs, a fist-sized hole was burnt through the gate. Merlin showed a hint of elation on his face. At this moment, since he had already cast three Fireballs, he could cast a Large Fireball now.
“Large Fireball!”
Merlin did not hesitate at all. A gigantic fireball appeared out of thin air. One look at it could induce terror in people’s heart.
“Swoosh.”
The large fireball darted toward the gate and flew directly at the small hole on the gate.
“Boom!”
The force of the Large Fireball was numerous times bigger than the normal Fireball. This explosion even released a terrifying power. Infinite heat rapidly spread through the sides along the hole. In a while, a huge hole of human’s height was burnt through the strong gate.
Old Wilson was poised since the beginning. Seeing the gate had actually blasted open by Merlin, he was filled with elation and immediately raised his sword. He shouted, “In the name of knight’s glory, charge!”
“In the name of knight’s glory, charge!”
Two hundred heavy armored knights behind Old Wilson and six hundred normal knights yelled all at once. Their voice was filled with killing intent.
“V-room.”
This was the sound of running knights. It was as if the mountain had crashed and the earth had split. The whole city gate seemed to tremble.
Old Wilson was riding in front. A thick flame appeared around him and his whole figure seemed to be engulfed in flames. He led a large number of knights and dashed through the hole into Blackwater City.
Soon, the gate was opened. The knight’s unit led by Old Wilson defeated the City Defense Troop near the gate with overwhelming spirit. The knights of City Defense Troop might have some combat ability but they had no way to block the heavy armored knights led by Old Wilson.
Merlin followed behind the knight’s unit. He was a little relieved that he had chosen Fireball as his first Spell Model back then. Otherwise, no matter if it was Frost or Whirlwind, he could not blast the gate open.
The battle at the gate soon came to a pause. Most of the knights from City Defense Troop had run away but Old Wilson did not chase after them. Instead, he approached Merlin and said in a serious tone, “Merlin, I’m letting Prat follow you. Bring three hundred knights to Wilson Castle and save Macy and the others. I’ll lead the rest to Castellan’s Mansion and kill Augustin.”
Old Wilson would not let Augustin who colluded with the church go easily. He had to lead the heavy armored knights to attack castellan’s mansion.
Merlin thought for a bit, then shook his head. “Father, I’ll only bring one hundred knights. You’re going to Castellan’s Mansion where it’s heavily guarded. Augustin’s knights from the City Defense Troop must be there.”
Old Wilson thought about it before agreeing to that. Then, he led seven hundred knights and rushed to Castellan’s Mansion.
“Uncle Prat, let the knights get ready for battle. It’s possible we may get into trouble.” A hint of seriousness flashed in Merlin’s eyes.
In Wilson Castle, up to hundreds of servants had been killed. Regardless of whether they were men, women, the elderly or children, they had not escaped death. Many bodies laid around randomly on the floor. The bloody stench spread throughout the place that even someone from afar could smell it.
At this moment, Tirath was sitting on a chair in the castle. He frowned and had a dark look on him because he had only found servants after searching the entire Wilson Castle. Macy and the others could not be found at all.
“Could it be that they ran away?” Tirath doubted. He then ordered his subordinate to bring a servant to him. He asked the trembling servant who kneeled on the ground, “Where’s Macy?”
The servant looked at Tirath and replied cautiously, “I really don’t know where Young Lady Macy is.”
“Don’t know?” Tirath stood up and raised the sword. Without hesitation, he pierced the servant’s chest in one slash.
“Bring the next one.”
Tirath showed a cruel smile, then let his subordinate to bring another maid. This maid was truly horrified, seeing many bodies on the floor. Without waiting for Tirath to ask, she stuttered, “I saw the butler bringing Young Lady Macy and the others to Sir Baron’s room.”
“Good. Lead the way!”
Tirath immediately stood up and let the maid lead the way.
Soon, Tirath was in Baron Old Wilson’s room. He looked around and smiled coldly. “They must be hiding in this room. Search!”
Immediately, numerous knights came into Old Wilson’s room and began to search all over the place.
At the same time, Macy and the rest who were waiting in the basement had all come near the entrance of the basement. They leaned close to the wall and could hear faint footsteps on the other side of the wall.
Macy and the butler exchanged a glance. Macy even unsheathed her sword without a sound. She took a deep breath as she held the sword. She had finished the preparation for battle.
Among them, the only one with combat ability was Macy. Even though Old Wilson’s gear was secretive, Tirath had brought many people to search for them and they would soon find it. At that time, they could only die to try to escape!
“Butler, if Tirath found the door later, I’ll block him. Bring mother and Gutt out of Wilson Castle,” Macy said in a low voice.
At this moment, she was a little depressed. If she had become an Elemental Swordsman, she would still have a slim chance to survive. At least she could cover for the butler to bring her mother and Gutt to escape.
However, once they were found by Tirath, they had almost no hope to survive!
“Boom!”
Suddenly, the whole ground of Wilson Castle trembled slightly. The dust on the wall peeled off and fell all over the ground.
“What’s going on?” Tirath raised his head with a slightly changed expression. His gaze shot right out of Wilson Castle.
