Besides the 2 injured red cloaks, the others dashed through the countless dead bodies into the broken castle gate.
They were experienced law enforcers, and they quickly searched around the rooms. Due to the castle’s security, there were no servants, and all the warriors of death had died on the castle wall, so nobody was stopping them.
“Captain, I found something!” A red cloak entered the office and loudly reported.
“Here?” Captain Leo immediately arrived at the office.
Secret triggers in an office were nothing too uncommon. Most noble elves had them. Although the moving marks of the shelves were not noticeable, it still could escape the sight of an experienced law enforcer.
“Open the trigger!” Captain Leo said to an elf that specialized in triggers.
He gently tapped on a shelf and quickly found the trigger. However, when the shelves began to move, he realized something was stuck from within.
“Please help me use force to destroy this passage!” Captain Leo frowned and turned his head towards the 4 elite druids.
Down in the dungeon, Angelo Harmon’s face was twitching, and his eyes were red. He kept walking in a circle.
Those 10 warriors of death on the side didn’t know what Angelo Harmon was doing, but they were trained to serve their master. When they heard the banging sounds, they knew their teammates had died. Soon, it would be their turn.
They held their weapons tight with eyes of commitment.
The atmosphere in the dungeon was so tense. It was almost like the air had frozen.
The shelves above kept banging about until the banging reached the final metal door. It could blast open at any moment.
“Master, the circle is ready!” The elf magic circle maker said in a shaky voice. His body was drenched in sweat.
“Quick, ignite it!” Angelo Harmon felt an ounce of relief and turned to the human magic circle maker.
The human magic circle maker did not make a sound and madly turned his concentration on the super teleportation circle.
“Where are you trying to connect?” Although those warriors of death couldn’t understand where the human was trying to connect this teleportation circle to, the elf magic circle maker realized something was wrong. He gasped.
He was a warrior of death as well. This human was trying to connect the super teleportation circle to a place loathed by the Central Continent. It was no longer a war of the families but the war of races.
“Shut up. Are you trying to resist me?” Angelo yelled.
Certainty flashed in the elf magic circle maker’s eyes. He was the Harmon family’s warrior of death, but he was an elf as well, an elf in the Central Continent. He could sacrifice his life for the family, but he would never betray the elves.
He viciously dashed towards the super teleportation circle and wanted to destroy the newly set up circle.
“Die!” A golden glow flashed in that human magic circle maker’s eyes and followed by a white glow in his hand. Immediately, that elf magic circle maker was blasted out.
He was an official knight, one with combat qi.
The elf magic circle maker slammed against the wall and landed. Blood gushed out of his mouth as he yelled, “We’ve been tricked. They are trying to connect to the Evil Kingdom. They want to destroy the elves!”
The 10 warriors of death turned around. They doubted those words at first, but soon Angelo Harmon stepped in front of that elf magic circle maker and took out his noble long sword and jammed it into his chest.
Angelo Harmon viciously gazed at the dead body of that elf magic circle maker and spat in his face. He then lowered his voice. “If any of you resist, I will wipe you out along with family from the face of the world!”
It was almost impossible for a warrior of death rebel since they had gone through a structured system of cultivation perfected over countless years.
This brainwashing process began ever since they were a child. Their families were kept in captivity as a way to maintain their loyalty, and they would be fed some potions specifically made by nobles. Those potions could increase their training result, but they couldn’t stop using them.
If a warrior of death rebelled, it meant a huge problem had occurred in the noble system, which was why Angelo Harmon was furious.
He was fixed on his revenge. He would do anything to take back his power. Anything that got in the way would be destroyed, even the elves.
The final step of that human magic circle maker was complete. The super teleportation circle began to glow, and waves of energy began to rush through its lines.
“Warning, warning, super teleportation circle spotted, and it is now moving dimensional force!” The Bay Law city spirit sent an alert signal.
Druid Hume was on guard today, and he immediately put it on the highest alert. What does it mean to have an unknown teleportation circle meant moving its energy?” An invasion was coming.
The authorities of the city had been searching for unknown danger ruthlessly for the past days, so the city was on high alert. When the ear-piercing siren emerged, the City immediately entered battle mode.
The city gate automatically slammed shut. The elves outside were panicking. Something like this had never happened.
Flying mounts flew out to the target marked by the city spirit.
“Your majesty, a super teleportation circle is moving its energy. The city is now on high alert!” The reporter of the palace immediately stepped up,
Queen Luisa hesitated for a moment and said to an elite druid guard next to her, “Strike the bell of god!”
The Bell of God was a way for the palace to gather big druids. Since big druids were normally in retreat, waking them up was not easy.
The bell of god would shake them up by force which could give their spirit a decent amount of impact, so the palace would not do something like this unless it was totally necessary.
That elite druid was a little worried. If this was just a normal accident, the palace would be in big trouble.
“Go!” Queen Luisa said in a straight face.
Of course, she knew the price to pay for striking the bell of god.
But something had happened to the tree of life again. According to what happened last time, this was a warning from the tree of life.
Also, the moving of dimensional force meant a powerful enemy would soon invade the city. A super teleportation circle was no ordinary teleportation circle. Its materials were un-comparable to small and medium ones.
Therefore, she immediately used the highest power she had, striking the bell of god. Even if she lost her position afterward, she would not put her city at risk.
Bay Law City was the most important city of the elves. The home of all elves in the Central Continent. If something happened to the city, it would be a tremendous loss to the elves.
“Yes, your majesty!” The elite druid bowed as he heard the certainty in the queen’s voice.
He arrived at an unnoticeable golden bell by the side of the palace. Green energy of nature glowed from his body. The energy formed a hammer, and he heavily struck it on the bell.
“Dong!” A crisp bell sound emerged. Although the normal elves couldn’t hear it, god-like energy began to spread.
Big druids in retreat were shaken up one by one.
Back in the dungeon, Angelo Harmon was madly looking at the ignited super teleportation circle. Meanwhile, that human magic circle maker was kneeling on the ground, mumbling something with the most faithful look on his face.
4 white lights flashed on the circle, and 4 holy knights in golden armor emerged. Immediately, scary energy gushed out from their body.
As the 4 elite druids were banging on the last door, a giant hammer-like energy slammed towards them. Soon, they were blasted out with blood spilling out of their mouth.
The 8 red cloaks behind them were even more unlucky. They immediately dropped down and stopped breathing.
Captain Leo was standing the furthest away. When he saw the elite druids annihilated, he took out a red color signal bomb from his waist. However, he had overestimated his ability. Before he could throw out the bomb, he was dropped dead on the ground.
A team of 4 rank 17 druids on Pegasus were patrolling around the castle sky, they were the first team of support called by Captain Leo, but suddenly 3 of the front line druids dropped down like they were shot by an arrow.
“Quick, run! It is the Loyal mad knights!” As the 3 rank 17 druids fell from their Pegasus, they yelled to the last druids from afar.
3 rank 17 druids might be able to hold down a rank 20 holy knight, but they were hopeless against 4 Loyal mad knights. Their last option was to quickly report to the elves how powerful their enemies were.
That last druid did not run. No matter how hard he tried, he could not go against the speed of those knights’ energy.
Instead, he took out a signal bomb and threw it out. A split second afterward, he was crushed by an immense force, and he immediately fell towards the ground like a rock with his Pegasus.
As he was fell, he saw the blood-red sword symbol appear in the sky. A relief look emerged on his face. No matter how powerful their enemies were, the elves would be fine as long as they were prepared.
Loyal mad knights were what the Central Continent called Holy knights that were more powerful than elite knights. They were on the same level as big druids and law-defying wizards.
Back in the dungeon, the 10 warriors of death and Angelo Harmon were not affected by the energy. As the helper of the Evil Kingdom, the Loyal mad knights decided to let them live.
However, there was no gratefulness in those warrior’s faces. Instead, fury sparkled in their soulless eyes for the first time.
The hatred the elves, orcs, humans, and Barbarians had for the Evil Kingdom was no simple hatred. It was a loathing built up by centuries.
The Evil Kingdom had turned to the Demons from beyond and every being in the Evil Kingdom became a madly loyal preacher.
On the other hand, the elves were loyal to the goddess of the moon, even the warriors of death.
Angelo Harmon was a traitor to his race by bringing the Evil Kingdom into their city.
It was impossible for warriors of death to attack their master ever since their childhood training, but they suddenly dashed towards the 4 powerful Loyal mad knights.
“Goddess of the moon, please use their blood to wash off our sins!” Their eyes were glowing in red as they madly yelled. They’ve ignited all their life force and dashed forward like a moth plunging into flames.
The 4 Loyal mad knights gazed at those warriors. They didn’t bother to make a move. Before the warriors even reached them, they were crushed by the knights’ energy. By the time they arrived in front of the knights, they were already a pile of blood.
“Angelo, good job. I will give you the power you ask for!” A Loyal mad knight looked at Angelo Harmon and smiled.
Angelo Harmon was about to reply, but that Loyal mad knight had already turned away.
“Tell them they can come now!” That Loyal mad knight said to his teammates.
They were only the first batch of Holy knights. It was not easy to break the elves’ defense since they finally got a chance to invade Bay Law city head-on. The Evil Kingdom had almost gathered all the forces they could.
The Evil Kingdom needed to maintain some forces at the front line to guard their territory and resources. If they moved too many men, they might lose them.
