Chapter 71 Gathering Strength
The old Storm Priest stood between the mayor and Byrne. When the elderly man saw that Mrs. Isaac was taking a long time to come out, he knew deep down that something was wrong.
The deadline he had given was quickly approaching.
If she refuses the church's search, it means that all the evidence provided by the Fisher family is genuine, and the Isaac family is indeed a subordinate of the Poseidon Cult.
The fate of heretics will never be good, and they usually don't want to surrender.
Then, a battle is almost inevitable!
Byrne stood aside and analyzed: "The Isaac family's guards are about thirty people, but they basically don't have the courage to fight us for Madam Isaac. I'm afraid that only a handful of them will be loyal to us and die in the end."
Indeed, the old priest and the mayor were also aware that the guards had a close relationship with the family, almost equivalent to private soldiers, but few people could fight against the entire church and the country for the evil family.
"So our main opponents are the three extraordinary people named Isaac."
"Mrs. Isaac, who rose to the top of the origin, is a knight. The source of her bloodline power is the 'Heat Wave Blood Whale', which can generate high-temperature water vapor around her. She is also very skilled in swordsmanship, and her family should have inherited several combat skills.
"Her brother is a dual cultivator at the middle level of the origin. He also possesses the blood power of the 'Heat Wave Blood Whale' and an elemental talent for spellcasting. At this level, the elemental spells he can practice should only be two of relatively weak power."
Byrne paused here, then continued seriously:
"The last one is someone sent by the Poseidon Cult. According to the servant's confession, he is most likely a Transcendental being of the lower level. His bloodline power is of the Earth type. He is also carrying a mysterious treasure. He is obviously the most difficult one."
Everyone became nervous upon hearing this, and the father and son knights of the Vaner family even regretted coming here. Although they would be rewarded for assisting the church, the risks were also huge.
Mayor Andes immediately frowned and said through gritted teeth:
"A lower-level transcendent who has transformed... that's a bit too tricky. If he shows up, we must attack him with all our strength."
Although Byrne and his father had led people to hunt a Moon Shadow White Bear that was close to the lower level of metamorphosis, the strength of that Moon Shadow White Bear could be said to be the weakest among the metamorphosis levels.
Moreover, Lucius's combat IQ was extremely high, and Byrne felt that he could not compare to his father in this respect.
At the same time, extraordinary beings with advanced intelligence are often stronger than monsters of the same level!
And it’s not just a little stronger, it’s a lot stronger!
Because extraordinary people can use alchemical weapons, mysterious objects, learn the "combat skills", "spells", and "casting techniques" inherited from the past, think about various tactical methods, and have stronger judgment abilities than Warcraft.
Perhaps two knights at the middle position of the origin can contend with one knight at the upper position of the origin. However, a knight whose strength reaches the lower position of the transformation can easily kill three knights at the upper position of the origin head-on.
After all, there is a watershed between the first and second levels of extraordinary people.
There are a total of seven extraordinary people on their side, including Byrne, the second-level "pharmacist" of the Fisher family, and Irene, the second-level "listener".
As well as the old storm priest at the upper position of the origin, who is also an elemental spellcaster, Mayor Andes at the middle position of the origin, the father and son knights of the Vaner family at the middle position of the origin, and the sheriff at the lower position of the origin.
In addition, there are hundreds of mortal armed with flintlock rifles and equipped with some alchemical explosives. They are undoubtedly an important fighting force in this battle.
In the more ancient times, the countries on the continent of Oden did not have any regular armies at all. There were only battle groups composed purely of extraordinary people.
The mortals at that time were only fit for logistical support work, and their status was much lower than it is today, and the mortals before that were no different from slaves.
With the advent of flintlock rifles, the development of alchemy, and the advancement of collective magic, real armies appeared hundreds of years ago, and the knight class, who could be killed by guns and cannons, gradually had their land taken away.
Everyone waited for a while longer, but the final time limit had passed and everyone could see that the other party had no intention of responding and definitely did not want to surrender.
All the Isaac family has to do is to fight back stubbornly. They are indeed spies planted by the Poseidon Cult!
In the pitch-black night, numerous flames almost lit up the sky. Everyone's expression was extremely serious, and sweat gradually appeared on their heads.
Mayor Andes lost his temper and turned to the old priest and asked loudly:
"Master Priest, when do we attack?"
The old priest of Storm shook his head, stared at the Isaac family's mansion and said, "Wait a little longer, some people haven't arrived yet."
After a while, dozens of people came. They turned out to be the Silver Clan elders Allen and Emile, who came with dozens of guards.
They were able to occupy a street in the city because they were accepted by the church and according to the contract they needed to contribute at this time.
Allen, Irene and Byrne looked at each other, and then looked at Emile, who was standing at the front of the Silver Clan, like a real elder.
The three of them understood each other immediately.
A new spellcaster who is at the higher level of the origin and a new bloodline knight who is at the higher level of the origin were added, bringing the number of their extraordinary people to nine.
Including the two people from the Fisher family, there are five people at the upper level of the origin. Coupled with the numerous mortal armed forces, the advantage gradually becomes obvious.
The mayor turned to look at the old priest again, and only then did the old priest finally sigh, knowing that at this point his only choice was to fight.
His expression darkened and he said loudly:
"Attack! Go straight in and capture all the members of the Isaac family. The main targets are the three extraordinary people. We cannot let any of them go!"
The old priest looked fierce and said without hesitation: "We can launch an attack at any time according to the situation, even if it means killing the target!"
Although he and Mrs. Isaac were old friends for many years and had a deep friendship, once the old priest made up his mind, he knew that he would never waver in the slightest.
Even the slightest hesitation on the battlefield could be fatal! Even the death of everyone!
Since Madam Isaac chose the Poseidon Cult, she is already seeking death herself, so there is no need for mercy!
The patrol guards then stepped forward and shouted to the Isaac family guards to open the door, otherwise they would use alchemical explosives to blow the door open and rush in.
The guards of the Isaac family had already reached the limit of pressure and finally made a decision. They opened the door dejectedly and walked out obediently, throwing down their weapons immediately to show that they had no intention of resisting.
After seeing this scene, Irene shook her head and said to Byrne:
"The kind of subordinates we really need are definitely not people like this."
The sheriff immediately ordered the arrest of the guards of Isaac's family, tied their hands behind their backs with ropes, and checked their faces to see if any of the three brothers and sisters of Isaac's family were among them.
At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a long whistle sound coming from a distance!
"They climbed over the wall and ran over there! Let's chase them!"
In fact, no one said it, but everyone took one thing for granted, which was that the metamorphic-level knight transcendents had extremely strong mobility and physical strength, and they had no cavalry at all, so it would be very difficult to catch that person.
The most important goal is to capture Mrs. Isaac and her brother, two extraordinary people at the origin level, which can be considered as completing the mission.
Something seemed wrong. Byrne frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but he had never commanded a battle before and lacked experience.
He just felt that the atmosphere was weird but couldn't tell the specific reason. He could only silently lead his family members to retreat behind the crowd.
Although Mayor Andes is a transcendent person at the middle level of the origin, he has no combat experience at all, let alone the ability to command a patrol team.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask the old priest and the sheriff.
"Should we split into two groups, one to rush in here and one to intercept them, or should we all go to catch those who are trying to escape?"
The old priest had experienced war and was rich in experience in commanding operations. After thinking for a while, he was about to answer when he suddenly turned his head to look at the outer wall of the manor not far away.
"avoid!"
I saw a lot of cracks appear on the wall next to the gate in an instant, and then hundreds of pieces of earth and rocks exploded in an instant, like a death gale, scattering flowers towards the people outside who had no time to react!
