If it really is him who comes to attack, the city will be in great danger.
Lampard, acting as the captain's representative, immediately instructed his companions: "Gather all the Obsidian Knights at once, and set off to attack the powerful enemy in a quarter of an hour!"
Within ten minutes, the Black Knights assembled on the first floor of the guild. After a thorough check of their weapons and a headcount, the Obsidian Knights prepared to depart.
Before leaving, Philsa and Sherry also arrived at the guild.
Philsa was awakened in the middle of the night by magical perception and immediately knew who the enemy was, so she rushed down from her bedroom.
The Obsidian Knights were already assembled outside, ready to depart at any moment. Lampard sheathed his sword, preparing himself.
At this moment, Firsa pleaded, "Please let me go with you!"
According to the demonic energy, the enemy attacking them must be Van Titeren, and they were definitely after him. Despite his injuries, he still asked to fight alongside them.
“No…” Lampard refused sternly, his tone completely different from usual. He could not allow an injured person to fight. “You are injured!” With that, he strode towards the door.
Philsa stubbornly followed, and Shirley couldn't stop her. "This isn't the first time I've fought while injured!"
"You have no sword! How will you fight the enemy?"
Firsa avoided this point, emphasizing instead: "This time the enemy is coming for me directly, so I shouldn't back down!"
There was no time left to argue about it; Lampard couldn't persuade his stubborn friend. But he absolutely couldn't let Firza go into battle.
A wounded person who is unarmed, no matter who they are or how brave they are, is doomed to die.
He yelled, "Don't be so reckless!"
"As a knight, you shouldn't shy away!"
"..."
"As a knight, I must..."
Halfway through his sentence, Philsa suddenly went black and collapsed to the ground.
Shirley couldn't bear to follow his impulsive actions, and when her advice was ignored, she had no choice but to take advantage of a moment when he wasn't paying attention and deliver a powerful chop to the back of his neck, knocking him unconscious.
"Let's talk about the big principles after you wake up." She silently helped her fallen companion to her feet.
Lampard breathed a sigh of relief and, before leaving, instructed Shirley, "Please take care of Philsa. Even if the enemy doesn't attack, it's not safe to stay here any longer. Simon is safer; you two should escape from there. There's a small village further west; you can go there for refuge first."
She nodded. "The enemy is very strong. Be careful on your way."

Water element particles surged forth from the front, from all the alleyways, and from all directions, like a fierce wave.
Currently, a water barrier has formed within a certain area. Moreover, the "water" is constantly moving and never stops, and the barrier is continuously expanding. Those inside the barrier see a repulsive sea blue.
Van Titeren felt short of breath, and the flames enveloping his body dimmed considerably as he encountered his nemesis.
For the time being, he must fight within the barrier set up by the enemy.
However, this does not mean that the Brahma Assembly was afraid.
This large-scale auxiliary magic barrier cannot be built by one person's magic power alone; it requires at least a team of mages or magic knights.
Fan deduced that the number of mages or magic knights in this city was definitely not small.
Fire elements cannot exert their full power within the barrier.
As Fan was pondering a solution, he suddenly noticed a terrifying thumping sound rising from the ground.
Then, an unknown magical force swirled around him, and the corresponding tremors from the ground grew increasingly violent. The astonishing magnitude of the tremors made Brahma hesitant to make any rash moves.
In an instant, dozens of sharp pillars rose from the ground simultaneously. Fan instinctively jumped away, attempting to escape the besieged area, but it was too late; even with his physical strength exerted to the utmost, he could not escape successfully.
Transformed from soil and solidified by special magic into a cluster of sharp pillars as hard as a rock, they simultaneously pierce a point in mid-air, forming a giant cone that traps the enemy tightly, without any gaps or airtightness.
If there is even the slightest loophole, then what would seep through is only the water element, which is equally feared by the fire element.
From the outside, there was no movement in the rock formation for the time being.
Orina's water barrier "Purification of Nothingness" combined with Lampard's advanced earth magic "Gaia's Dungeon" temporarily trapped the enemy.
As long as the source of magic remains, the hardness of the stone pillars that form a wall can rival that of steel.
They wanted to break through the magical barrier named after Gaia, the goddess of the earth, using a higher level of magic.
Apart from the Grand Magus Sage, who has the highest cultivation level, no one else can do it.
They successfully trapped the enemy inside the "dungeon." However, they were aware that Brahma was only temporarily trapped and that his life force had not been completely extinguished, so they dared not be careless.
After a series of neat and rapid footsteps, the magic knights emerged from the alleyway in formation, immediately beginning to chant incantations. Halfway through the chanting, the incantation was interrupted by another wave of thumping from the earth.
Lampard did not use earth magic, so the disturbance that interfered with the chanting was not his doing.
Rather than agitation, it's more accurate to describe it as a "trembling"—the earth was trembling rhythmically, wave after wave.
It felt like a ton-sized object was pounding the ground.
Dozens of surprised eyes fell on the group of stone pillars.
That is why the sound and the shockwaves both originated from the solid stone walls that were tightly packed together.
The surrounding stone pillars trembled, each tremor sending chills down the spines of those present. Fine cracks appeared and widened on the wall, which was as hard as steel. The trembling grew more violent, and even the strongest walls could only gradually crumble.
