He knew that this place would become a battlefield, but the two days were too short to move all the precious things away. He also didn't expect that the entire mansion would be destroyed so completely, leaving nothing for him...
The gold, silver and various rare treasures stored in the treasury have now all turned into ruins...
However, Hattar did not dare to raise any objection. The thousands of guards who had previously entered the mansion, along with the extremely powerful Archbishop Anluk, were all wiped out in one blow. Such a power to change the sky and control thunder could only be described as terrifying...
Before, he had heard that the army led by Rickman was reduced to ashes in the rain of fire. Although he was extremely frightened, he did not have a clear idea in his mind.
Now Hattar felt this indescribable feeling of powerlessness very intuitively.
The power of legendary magic surpasses all worldly things! Whether it is the thousands of strong crossbowmen he carefully trained or the bloodline knights he secretly raised, they all seem particularly ridiculous under such power...
Hattar could only comfort himself silently in his heart that the stronger these wizards were, the better they would be at resisting attacks from the Empire and the Church.
They must rely on the king and the nobles' control over the grassroots in order to suppress the wave of resistance from the majority of believers.
And he was about to become the king. At that time, the palace would be his residence, and the palace treasury would be his treasury. Compared with what he was about to gain, what he lost was insignificant...
Without the guidance of the alchemical array, the artificial thunderstorm soon stopped.
However, the strong current and scorching heat still filled the entire ruins, forming an electromagnetic area that ordinary people could not approach at all...
"Do you think Anluk is dead?" Lin En suddenly asked, staring at the completely destroyed mansion in front of him.
"No one can resist such magic..." Anthony said solemnly, and then laughed. "I think the cardinal was either burned to charcoal or turned into ashes, right?"
"That's not necessarily true." Lynn shook his head.
Although Anthony's wizard level was much higher than his, his knowledge was not necessarily broader. After all, he had fought with the magic star August who had broken through the great wizard realm in the city of Greenriel.
The other party can turn the entire magic city into his own divine domain. No matter what kind of injuries he suffers, he can quickly heal them by absorbing power. Even if he is beaten half to death, he can recover in just a few seconds. So if it was August in the mansion just now, he might have a chance to survive...
Although the power of thunder exerted by the celestial phenomena was terrifying, its scope was the entire mansion after all, which was a bit too scattered! "Let's go, let's go down and take a look first!" Lin En raised his hand, and the rubble around the tower immediately trembled, as if guided by some kind of power, flew up and spontaneously piled up together, forming a long slope.
Anthony turned his head and looked at the nobles who were sitting on the ground in fear, their facial muscles twitching and twisted, and who had not yet recovered from the power of the legendary magic. He cast a spell to bring them along.
Although these people are not brave or capable, we still have to rely on them to control and quell the resistance of the entire kingdom...
At this moment, the outskirts of the mansion had been controlled by Ham and others who had hurriedly arrived here with the musketeers.
As for the thousands of guards who had originally surrounded here to prevent people from escaping, they were all frightened by the thunder that fell from the sky and surrendered without any resistance.
Cody was no exception. He was in a daze for a long time before he came to his senses. His face turned pale and he realized that everything was over.
Cody kept complaining in his heart that Lord William refused to listen to his advice and insisted on breaking with these wizards who were obviously difficult to deal with.
It was too late to say anything now. Cody could imagine that those wizards would use the most terrifying magic against him. After all, it was he who lured Anluk and others here.
He just hoped it would be a quick death...
However, to Cody's surprise, Lynn smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying with satisfaction, "Well done, Cody. If it weren't for you, the plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly..."
Hmm... Yeah! Ah?
Cody's expression suddenly changed from horror to confusion, and finally to weirdness. He almost doubted whether he had heard it wrong.
"Lord Lin, what...what is going on?" Cody asked stutteringly.
"In fact, William has always been mine." Lynn replied with a smile.
After leading Ansulfurk and others here, Cody was no longer of any use, but Lynn had no intention of destroying the bridge after crossing it.
Although the other party's actions were certainly not in his own interest, they were indeed acting in accordance with William's orders - that is, according to his own plan.
He had persuaded William several times before not to go against them rashly, which was why Lin En was willing to give him a way out.
Cody stood there in a daze for a long time. It took him a while to realize that Lord William was actually playing himself?
The purpose of bringing Anruk and the others to this mansion was not to capture these wizards, but to lure them into a trap...
"Lord Lin, what should we do with these surrendered guards? Kill them all?" At this time, Ham came over and asked cautiously.
"No, they were just bewitched by Anluk. It doesn't mean they have betrayed the kingdom..." Hattar interrupted hurriedly, and then revealed his identity as the crown prince, and quickly subdued the group of frightened guards.
It is true that the Royal Guards of the Kingdom are the most elite and loyal legion in Basel's hands, but to say that everyone is loyal and will never surrender even at the cost of their life is overthinking.
While Hattar was subduing the Royal Guards, Lin En instructed Ham to lead his men to surround the mansion. If there was anything unusual, they could fire guns into the air and they would arrive soon.
Hattar's mansion was very large. Even if magic was used to clean up these areas thoroughly, it would take at least half a day. It would undoubtedly be an extremely difficult task to find Ansruk, who might have been crushed into pieces or simply turned into ashes.
But they now have more important things to do. If they let King Bazel run away, all the things they have done will be in vain. Even if Hattar ascends the throne, it will not be enough to convince the people.
