Chapter 813: Blaze Shield (1/2)
Xiuban grinned and tightened his grip on Carnage, his arms seemingly bulging. He didn't even try to dodge as he ruthlessly swept forward.
”Ding, ding, ding…”
Sharp metallic sounds echoed. Those four were merely 2nd Rank Arch-Battlemages and ended up being sent flying like cannonballs before crashing outside the courtyard.
They spat out blood while still flying, and their heavy armor deformed from the blow. They couldn't even stand up after falling to the ground.
Xiuban started counting on his fingers.
”Three seconds, four seconds? It's fine anyways, I didn't run out of time…”
The five Gaugass Battlemages were howling in pain outside the camp. A handful of seconds later, Daryl appeared.
Daryl coldly crossed the dilapidated entrance and glared daggers at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun closed the Book of Mantras, glanced at Daryl, and sneered, ”This is quite a coincidence, did you set it up well?”
Daryl looked quite displeased as he said, ”A thief stole something from our camp, something very important, so we chased that thief back here.
”Moreover, we already surrounded this place so that the thief wouldn't be able to escape. I hope you'll cooperate. We don't care about the thief, but we must retrieve what was stolen.”
Lin Yun looked at Daryl with disdain, ”Daryl, how the hell are you the commander of the Gaugass army? Can you use your brain next time you try this kind of set-up? Even the stupidest Pig Beastman is smarter than that.
”You guys directly kicked the entrance in and shouted that you saw the thief. Don't you know, everyone in the entire Storm Fort thinks that Gaugass Battlemages are fools.
”Hearing it a hundred times isn't as good as seeing it. Now, everyone can watch this stupid plan that even a 3-year-old kid, no, even a Pig Beastman, could pull. Do you really think you are deceiving anyone?”
Daryl's eyes turned red. It was taboo to tell a Gaugass Battlemage that they were stupid. In Okland, calling someone a Gaugass Battlemage was even an insult, the same as calling them an idiot.
Daryl angrily looked up, but he knew that he couldn't make a move here. He also had no way to kill this Mafa Merlin.
'In the end, that damned Mafa Merlin is a mage of Okland. Coming to blows is fine, but murdering him would definitely make the Black Tower or the Cloud Tower appear to kill me.
'At that time, all that anyone would say about it is that a Gaugass Battlemage charged into another person's camp and killed a mage of Okland in one hit.'
”Mafa Merlin, there is no need to quibble. I just want to see the thing you stole. I advise you to immediately hand it over... Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude.” Daryl tossed out this bold threat, thinking on how to lure Mafa Merlin out.
The Storm Fort was definitely off-limits, he couldn't kill Mafa Merlin there. Moreover, if Prophet Deloy learnt about it, he would definitely rush over to find him. This place was no good because there was too much interference. Going to the Poison Mist Valley would be best.
There was almost no one there, and Okland's Archmages absolutely couldn't resist that poisonmist. No one would be able to help that Mafa Merlin in that place.
In the end, that scoundrel would be isolated and without help, and no one would be able to disturb them. He would have free rein to punish and behead that guy.
'Even if Prophet Deloy learns about this afterwards, it'd be too late by then. No matter how valuable he was, it'll amount to nothing if he's dead.'
Lin Yun frowned. That Daryl was like a bedbug... He would keep bothering people until he died. Because of Deloy's interruption, Lin Yun hadn't planned on retaliating, but the idiot unexpectedly came looking for it himself.
Since Deloy wasn't here, this guy was probably acting on his own initiative.
But that was perfect. Lin Yun would take advantage of Deloy's absence to get rid of the annoying pest.
The Storm Fort was definitely no good, as the Gaugass Battlemages were there to cooperate with Okland's forces this time. If he killed Daryl here, it would definitely give the Gaugass Battlemages the opportunity to rebel. If the other side wanted the location of the ruins at that time, it might attract even more people.
'Right, the Poison Mist Valley, that's the only nearby place that others can't access. I can fight freely in that place. Last time, I had this guy help me experiment with the Lava Incarnation. Its power is good, but it can't display enough of its potential at the moment, it is extremely restricted.
'I should use this opportunity to experiment with other things, and then finish him off.
