Episode 10 Baruch Chapter 4 War Machine
“Rumble~~~”
The waterfall, which was tens of meters high, rushed down with a turbulent current and blasted into the deep pool, splashing up countless water splashes. The water in this deep pool flowed slowly along a narrow river. Barker, Sessler and the two of them also followed this narrow river as they continuously advanced towards the inside of Blackwool Mountain.
At the end of this river was a peaceful lake with an elegant wooden house in the center.
In front of the wooden house, a figure wearing loose robes and long hair was holding a purple long sword and waving it slowly, saying that it was slowly …… that was an illusion given to Barker, Sessler and the two of them. It looked slow, but in reality it was frighteningly fast.
That feeling of visual disorientation made Barker and Sessler want to vomit blood.
A sword came out as if the surrounding space was distorted.
Barker and Sessler looked at each other, shock in their eyes. It had only been a few months, but Linley had made another breakthrough! They had never seen Linley execute this kind of sword technique before, and with the scene they had just seen, they were sure …… that this sword technique was certainly terrifying in its power.
The two of them, Barker and Sessler, stood on the edge of the lakeshore, waiting quietly.
After a long time, Linley put away his sword.
“Come over here.” Linley waved his sleeve, and a wave of air rushed along the lake right to the opposite shore, and then surprisingly, an ‘air bridge’ formed by a wave of air appeared between the wooden house and the shore of the lake, “Just walk straight over here, don’t be afraid, you can’t fall down.”
Barker and Sessler looked at each other, but in the end, they stepped onto the ‘air bridge’ and arrived at the wooden house in the center of the lake.
Linley sat down at the stone table next to the wooden house, flipped his hand over and took out a jug of wine, three cups, and said with a faint smile, “Sessler, if you had come over a few days ago, I’m afraid I would have had to use the wind to roll you over. It couldn’t have done that just now.”
Sessler was a ninth level Undead Archmage. Although he was also close to breaking through to reach the Holy Realm. However, he was unable to fly, and with his physical condition, he couldn’t even step on water if he wanted to.
“My lord, what was that just now?” Barker was still in shock.
Sessler also looked at Linley, who smiled and explained, “This is an application of the wind elemental law. In recent times, I’ve gained some insight on the path of ‘slowness’. It was only then that I was able to achieve that step just now. But there is still a distance to go before spatial stagnation.”
“What spatial stagnation?” Sessler queried.
Linley didn’t say any more, neither Sessler nor Barker practiced the elemental laws of the wind system, so if he told them, how would they understand? After Linley had sparred with that mysterious mountain village’s expert Miller, he had a clear route in his head for cultivating the ‘slow’ realm. Cultivation was naturally twice as fast with half the effort.
If Miller had seen Linley cultivate, he would have been shocked.
It had only been a few months and he had already reached this point, this kind of cultivation speed was too terrifying.
Pouring a glass of wine for each of the two of them, Linley lifted his glass and said with a smile, “You guys came this time, just say what you have.”
Barker said, “My lord. The area under our jurisdiction has been managed for some time, and the army has been reorganized, along with three months of training. Nowadays, it’s almost possible to attack other cities.” As soon as the words left his mouth, a small smile appeared on Linley’s face.
He had been looking forward to this day.
“This time. It’s supposed to attack that county city.” Linley said.
Next to him, Sessler nodded and said, “Yes Earth, according to our plan, this time we’re going to attack the three small cities and the Morte County City.” Nowadays, Linley’s side had six cities, six divisional armies, and more than 50,000 people. Such strength wasn’t far off from the county cities.
But-
Linley’s side had experts! This was an absolute advantage.
“Attack the next county city. Then you’ll be qualified to declare the establishment of a principality to the outside world.” Barker laughed.
Linley had been leading the charge to establish a duchy, and he remembered the agreement Delia had made with him in the letter to wait until he succeeded in establishing a duchy. Delia would also leave the Yulan Empire to find him.
“Linley.” Sessler inquired, “What do you think should happen when we capture the county town of Motte? Should we continue conquering cities that don’t belong to either the Illuminati or the Dark Clerics, or should we launch an attack on the Illuminati’s manipulated land principalities?”
According to the map, when the Mott County City was captured, then the southernmost tip of the area controlled by Linley would be bordering the area controlled by the Illuminati.
Of course, the control of the Illuminati was covert control. On the surface it was all one principality after another. In fact, it was very simple to separate whether it was controlled by the Light Vatican or the Dark Vatican! That is to look at the temple in this county, if this city has a light temple, then this principality is secretly controlled by the Light Vatican.
If there was a Dark God Temple, it was Dark Clerical Church controlled.
“Attacking a principality controlled by the Light Sect.” Linley’s eyes narrowed slightly as he made his decision, “As we move more and more, the intelligence personnel of the Illuminati’s land can notice the five of you in Barker. Knowing the five of you, it would be strange if they still didn’t know that this party’s strength, is mine, Linley.”
Linley looked at Barker and Sessler and smiled, “After the attack on the next county, first stabilize and integrate the army. Once the army has been integrated, we’ll launch an attack on the area under the jurisdiction of the Church of Light!”
“Of course, the attack should be small. We need to see the reaction of the Illuminati first.” Linley smiled faintly, “Let’s see if they will directly counterattack, hold back, or directly send an expert to me.”
Sessler also understood Linley’s meaning and laughed, “Right, if the Illuminati’s side is going to go head-to-head with you, Linley, then the name of the …… duchy land will be set after your surname, Linley, and be designated as the ‘Duchy of Baruch’! ”
“If the Illuminati side relents, then we also play dumb. Don’t publicize your existence for now, and the duchy will be named casually.”
Hearing Sessler’s words, Linley nodded approvingly.
Now it was up to the Illuminati to react, and if the Illuminati experts didn’t show up, Linley wouldn’t make a move. Just let Barker and his five brothers go ahead and make a mess, constantly attacking the city. If the other party’s experts show up …… then let’s have a showdown.
“Time to attack the Mott County city land?” Barker looked at Linley.
“Start as soon as possible.” Linley replied.
……
With Linley’s words, now the six under his jurisdiction
then functioned quickly, with one of the divisions, Division 9000, under the leadership of three people, attacking three cities respectively. Four more divisions were dispatched, led by the duo of Barker and Gates, to attack the county city of Mott.
Sessler. Sitting in the town of Black Earth City.
“Kill!” The ground underneath Mott County City was completely dyed red, originally, Mott County City had also sent an army of 20,000 people to prepare to give the other side a hard blow on the plains, but they were rushed by the army led by Gates and Barker, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
Gates, Barker two people are completely two magic god.
Holding that huge axe, that axe swing up to go where. Where the people were killed and wounded a large number of people. An army has elite tip squad, and Gates, Barker two people will specialize in attacking this kind of elite team, where the bones are difficult to pit, they will rush to kill up.
All of a sudden, the 20,000 troops of the Mott County City were defeated and demoralized, and many of them even surrendered on the spot.
Half of the dead and wounded, the surviving …… ones were all captured.
Because they can t even escape back even if they want to escape. The city gate of Mott County City has been closed. Mott County City s landlord didn t dare to open the door at all, once the door was opened, by those two demon gods to charge in, they were bound to die. At the moment, there were only about 20,000 defenders in Mott County City.
The Black Earth City side’s army was neatly arranged outside, and the over ten thousand captives were completely demoralized, most of them were injured. There were only two to three thousand that were capable of fighting. Blood stained the ground. The morale of the Mott County City defenders dropped to a low point.
“What’s going on, why are they standing so far away?” The defending general was a bit anxious, so far away, completely outside the range of the bow and arrow parry.
Suddenly. Those two characters at the head who looked like gods of war, holding huge axes unexpectedly rushed over at extreme speed. That garrison descended and immediately roared, “Divine Archers stand by, attack those two. Shoot!”
The nearly one hundred elites that were selected from the ordinary archers, one by one, held that composite strong bow and shot at the duo below. Nay, Barker and Gates were too fast. Only a few arrows reached them. But even if they hit, they directly rebounded and fell.
“Haha, look at me!” Gates let out a roar of excitement and raised that heart-shakingly huge axe, and blasted it at the distant city gates.
“Peng!”
A terrifying sound came from the city gates, the towering city gates shook for a moment, cracking out small cracks, but it didn’t break.
“County city land city gate, is than ordinary small city city gate is much more sturdy.” Gates said with a big laugh, that laugh resounded through heaven and earth, the entire Mott County City’s defenders that was heard clearly, “Boss, don’t need you to come, I can solve this broken city gate.”
The violent vibration just now had already made the soldiers on the city walls turn white.
Is there such a way to fight a war?
Directly breaking through the gate?
“Drop boulders, quick, drop boulders.” That city lord’s sharp voice rang out, as in a big city like County City, the city wall was a full dozen meters thick. Apart from the city gates that were normally used to close them, there were actually still mechanisms at the city gates. The boulder that had been stuck above the city gate fell down.
Once that sturdy stone that was ten meters thick was dropped, it would be impossible for even a ninth level expert to break through. This was specially designed to deal with experts.
“Falling boulders?”
Gates’ face changed and he roared, “Damn it, open for me.” That huge axe seemed to fall like a leaf, lightly touching that city gate, which violently shook, and surprisingly, most of it directly turned into broken powder. However, only “Rumble!” was heard. A low sound, the boulder fell, and even blocked the entire city gate completely.
“Break.” Barker also made the same move of ‘Lifting the Weight’.
“Peng!” The boulder shook, the stone crushed powder gargled and fell straight down, and a large deep pit nearly a meter deep appeared on the surface of this boulder. However, compared to the terrifying size of this boulder, this deep pit was nothing at all.
Barker and Gates looked at each other.
“We can only do as your lordship commands.” Gates smiled.
According to Linley, Barker’s and their undead warriors’ identities were to be kept secret, a killer weapon on Linley’s side. After all, the Illuminati side was unaware of it. To reveal it, it was also necessary to reveal what the Illuminati side knew.
“Heilu!” Barker let out a roar.
“Roar!” An earth-shattering roar rang out, and the terrifying black panther that was originally in the army steeply grew in size, all of a sudden becoming a full ten meters tall and twenty meters long. The height of a three-story building ah. Seeing such a giant magical beast …… the entire Mott County City froze.
“Holy Domain Magical Beast!”
That city guard officer stuttered.
“Boom!” The three-story tall Black Ru, transformed into a black shadow and rushed towards the city gate, a distance of nearly a thousand meters, just in the blink of an eye. This city gate was more than twenty meters high, and Black Ru’s terrifying body brazenly crashed into the boulder that fell ten meters thick.
Only a terrifying roar could be heard.
That boulder is as if the tofu is impacted like scattered, countless debris toward the back splash away, in the city of a large number of soldiers were those extremely fast burst out of the debris to smash the head, smashed the chest of the depression …… This is still an appetizer.
The terrifying beast ‘Black Lu’, even rushed to kill.
Absolute war machine, anyone in front of him was either trampled to death or knocked away. There were countless deaths and injuries!
“Surrender! We surrender!”
“Surrender!!!”
Even the tougher soldiers felt powerless when they saw such a terrifying magical beast, and one by one, they all immediately put down their weapons and knelt down to surrender. Holy Domain Magical Beast ah …… such a heaven defying existence, is it something that their soldiers can fight against?
“Surrender, I surrender.” The city lord of Mott County City also knelt down with his body trembling.
With the capture of Mott County City, Linley’s side also had a county city and nine smaller cities under his command, and a population of nearly nine million under his jurisdiction. It was already considered a relatively large duchy.
