Chapter 690 More people?
When everyone looked towards the sky, they saw an old man about the same age as Duke Edward walking in the air!
"Father!"
When Hulton saw this man coming, he actually called out the word "father".
After hearing this, Gervis narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man carefully.
Although this old man is old and his hair is gray, his aura is as unfathomable as that of Duke Edward.
"It's old Duke Batman of the Golden Shield Family!"
The man was none other than the former city lord of the Golden Shield family, Duke Batman. However, his title had been passed on to Houston at this time, so outsiders called him the old Duke.
Batman is one of the twelve strongest humans in the Holy Alliance, on par with Duke Edward.
"You useless bastard, you can't even handle a kid!"
Hulton's call of "father" did not receive a peaceful response. Instead, when Batman landed on the third floor of the arena, he was mercilessly scolded by Batman again.
It was obvious that even the previous curse of "waste" was also directed at Houston, the current lord of the Golden Shield Holy City.
Batman cursed Hulton angrily, and then he no longer looked at the embarrassed Hulton, but turned his cold eyes directly to Gervis.
Suddenly, Gervis felt a wave of chills coming over him.
"Boy, did you kill my second son and the next heir of my Golden Shield family?"
Batman's tone was cold and murderous.
"So what!"
Gervis held the Crimson Moon in both hands, feeling the tremendous pressure surging from Batman. His back was already soaked, but he showed no fear.
The more afraid you are in a situation like this, the faster you will die. Moreover, the two sides already have a deep hatred for each other and it is impossible to resolve it peacefully. It is better to fight to the death!
"Very good! In that case, then you can die!"
"Baartman, if you want to kill him, do you want to ask me first?"
Just as Batman was about to attack Gervis, Edward moved extremely quickly and almost instantly arrived in front of Gervis, blocking the two of them.
"Edward, are you going to stop me?"
"I can pretend that nothing happened when you cut off two fingers of my son, after all, this kid saved your granddaughter that day! But you have already repaid the favor. If you stop me from killing him again, you will be making an enemy of my Golden Shield Family!"
Batman did not get furious when Edward blocked his way. Instead, he stared at Edward with a cold tone.
Both of them are among the twelve strongest men of the human race, so naturally they know that the other party is not easy to deal with, so there is no point in threatening them.
"Batterman, two fingers are not enough to save my granddaughter's life. If Hulton commits suicide on the spot to apologize, I will not care about what happened today!"
Edward replied calmly.
But the moment Edward finished speaking, Batman's eyes turned completely cold, and his aura began to slowly spread.
At this moment, the situation between these two powerful human beings was on the verge of a fight.
In an instant, all the lords of the holy city felt the terrifying pressure emanating from the two people. They all felt their hearts suffocate and even breathing became a little difficult.
"Edward, since you really want to make enemies with my Golden Shield Family for that kid, then don't blame me. Even if you want to stop him today, do you think you can stop him?"
After Batman was silent for a while, the eerie words were heard again.
As he finished speaking, more than ten people walked out from the stairs behind him.
These dozen people had tattoos on their faces and looked almost the same as humans, but what was strange was their skin. The skin all over their bodies was dry, cracked and red, as if the flesh was being burned by fire.
“Descendants of God’s servants!”
In an instant, the city lords present recognized the origins of these people.
These people are the descendants of the gods' servants in the Land of Fallen Gods, and the Golden Shield Family once used statues imbued with the aura of gods to win the favor of the descendants of these gods' servants.
Not only did he obtain all kinds of precious resources from them, such as the golden shield in Houston's hand.
Moreover, the descendants of the servants of God sent dozens of people to the Golden Shield Family to serve the Golden Shield Family, which is why the Golden Shield Family has its current power.
Now Batman has brought more than ten such strong men. Each of these ten people is powerful and not much different from the city lords.
Seeing this situation, Johnson and others immediately came to Edward's side.
Obviously, they were on Edward's side.
In such a situation, what was originally just a fight between a few individuals has spread to the entire Holy Alliance, and if one is not careful it could cause a major change in the human race.
Because when Johnson and the other man took action, dozens of people from the Holy City took the initiative and came behind Edward.
Seeing this, Batman was not in a hurry and looked at the city lords who had previously helped Hulton prepare to encircle and kill the elves.
The city lords immediately understood and ran behind Batman.
Suddenly, nearly thirty city lords from the 108 holy cities of the Holy Alliance participated in the confrontation.
However, judging from the current situation, the situation on Duke Edward's side does not seem optimistic.
Because Batman came directly from the Holy City of Golden Shield, and brought more than a dozen descendants of God's servants with him.
Edward had never anticipated what was happening now, so the only strong man among his subordinates was Waddington.
As for the other griffin knights or guards, they are all white flag knights or black flag knights and can no longer participate in the battles against these city lords or at least purple flag knights.
"Edward, are you still going to help this kid now?"
Although Edward cut off two of Houston's fingers and Batman could not retaliate against him, he was also preparing to attack Edward in other ways to avenge himself.
For example, the status of Sky City and Edward's face!
Batman had already calculated that Edward would definitely protect the God of Death, so he quietly brought more than a dozen strong men over, directly more than a dozen more masters than Edward.
If the two sides really start fighting now, Edward will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Even if they cannot harm Edward today, many of Edward's allies will definitely be seriously injured.
It would take time for a seriously injured warrior to recover from his injuries. Having lost so many allies at once and being defeated in public by the Golden Shield Family, even if the Sky City still had its foundation, it would no longer be able to be called the number one in the Holy Alliance.
Another situation is that even if Edward wisely sacrifices the pawn to save the king and no longer cares about the killer boy, this will still make Edward and Sky City lose face as the number one in the alliance.
At the same time, the Golden Shield Family can also take this killer away and deal with him well, which will not only allow them to take revenge, but also give them the possibility of obtaining information about the mysterious pharmacist.
No matter what, the Golden Shield Family has the upper hand in today's situation. Not only can they win fame but they can also gain huge benefits.
Gervis saw the situation that the enemy outnumbered us.
I immediately understood that this was a carefully calculated plan by Batman.
His real purpose of coming here this time is probably to snipe the Golden Shield Family. No matter what decision Edward makes today, losses are inevitable.
And I was just a by-product. If his plan went smoothly, I would not be able to escape no matter what.
At this time, the Golden Shield Family had more than ten more city lord-level strongmen than Edward's side, which was a one-sided situation.
Even if it is a group of ordinary soldiers fighting, once one side has more than ten soldiers of equal strength, it is hard to imagine who is stronger and who is weaker.
Even if Edward was half a point stronger than Batman, it would be of no use at this time, because as long as Batman could hold Edward back for a short period of time and let the city lords and descendants of God's servants deal with Johnson and others, Edward would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Now there is only one possibility to suppress the Golden Shield Family, that is, Edward has more powerful people.
“More than people?”
While thinking, Gervis looked at the city lords who were watching.
Naturally, those irrelevant city lords will not get involved in the dispute between the Golden Shield Family and the Sky City. Even if the two sides really fight, it will not affect their interests.
"If I want to make them quit, I have to give them enough benefits! But can I persuade them with such benefits?"
Thinking of this, Gervis became furious, and then he went straight to Edward and said to Batman with a smile.
"Do you think you will win now that you have more people?"
"You still dare to be stubborn when you are about to die. I hope you can still smile when you are caught later!"
Although Batman did not admit it, this is an obvious fact.
"Grevith, get to the back!"
When Edward saw Gervis coming forward, he was worried that when the battle started, Gervis would be the first to be attacked.
“Haha, Duke Edward, since he wants to outnumber them, let’s compete with them!”
Gervis waved his hand, telling Edward not to worry, then turned to look at the city lords who were still watching.
"Now I have some news for you!"
Gervis' voice was so loud that almost everyone on the third floor could hear it!
After hearing Gervis' words, all the city lords looked at him, wondering what this god of death was going to do at this moment.
"In fact, I am the mysterious pharmacist you are looking for! All the potions auctioned by the Holy Trading Company were prepared by me!"
"What?"
"He just said he was the mysterious pharmacist? Did he make those miraculous potions?"
"How is this possible! This must be a lie."
The city lords could hear Gervis' words clearly, but no one dared to believe it.
Gervis didn't care whether they believed it or not, and continued speaking.
"Whoever is willing to come up and help now, the reward for each city lord is ten potions!"
"You can choose between a potion to increase your mental strength or a potion to strengthen your body!"
Wow!
"Ten potions? Really?"
"One potion can be auctioned for at least 35,000 gold coins. If there are ten potions, wouldn't that be equivalent to 350,000 gold coins?"
"This potion is in short supply. If the auction doesn't start, you won't be able to buy it even if you want to!"
Gervis's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, instantly suppressing most of the previous voices of doubt, and the eyes of the surrounding city lords were shining with fiery brilliance.
But not every holy city is as wealthy as the top holy cities such as Sky City and Golden Shield Holy City.
For example, in the Holy City of Heka of the Lachi family, his father took out 20,000 gold coins as bidding funds, but in the end it was only the starting price of the potion auction.
Although this was partly due to his father's misjudgment, it also showed from the side that the financial gap between the Holy City of Heka and the City of the Sky was very large.
At this time, ten potions were enough to make the lords of the holy city blinded by money. After all, Edward was leading the way.
Gervis' words also made Batman stunned. Seeing that those city lords who had been watching but not intervening were eager to try, he immediately sneered and spoke.
"God-killer boy, do you think you can get away with today by being smooth-talking? Do you think we are idiots? Magic potions are prepared by magicians. Tell us how you, a titled knight, prepare potions. Haha!"
"Also, even if you have a channel to get the magic potion, there are so many city lords here. Can they finally get the promise you made?"
"That's right! How can a titled knight prepare potions?"
"Since he can't prepare it himself, can he really take out hundreds of potions at once?"
"That's impossible!"
"This God of Death is so abominable. He still wants to play tricks on us at this time!"
Batman thought he had exposed the loophole in Gervis's lies, and those city lords who were originally ready to make a move also glared at Gervis.
No one likes to be fooled, especially when they thought it was a good thing just now and now find out it was nothing.
"Edward, I have one last question for you. Are you still going to protect this kid?"
After exposing the lies of this killer boy, Batman was not going to delay any longer.
He immediately slowly drew out the long sword at his waist, stared at Edward and issued an ultimatum.
It would be best if they could defeat Edward without bloodshed and then capture this killer. After all, there are so many city lords who are just sitting on the sidelines watching the fight.
If Edward refuses to retreat, it doesn't matter. At most, there will be some casualties. Then we can be careful to guard against other holy cities and retreat safely.
clang!
Edward's response was simple and clear. He pulled the sword out from his waist with a clang.
"Duke Bateman, Duke Edward, please wait!"
Just when the murderous intent of both sides was getting stronger, a voice was heard again from the corridor entrance. Dean Palmer of the Magic Academy had arrived.
"Duke Batman, can you please, for my sake, sit down and have a good talk about today's matter?"
Palmer is not only the dean of the Alliance Academy, but also a six-star great mage, so in real comparison, his status is no worse than that of any city lord.
So the first thing I did when I arrived was to try to bring the two parties together.
“Palmer, what happened today has nothing to do with your Alliance Academy. This killer killed two people from my Golden Shield family. I will take revenge no matter what!”
The arrow is on the string and has to be shot. He has finally come up with this plan. If he lets it go, not only will he offend the Sky City, but he will also get nothing in return. How could Batman just give up?
"If any damage happens to the City of Hope, I will come and hold you responsible!"
After listening to Batman's words, Palmer nodded silently.
Their Alliance College is neutral. It is precisely because they do not participate in any internal affairs of the alliance that they have been able to develop to this point, so it is not appropriate for him to say more at this time.
Giving Edward an apologetic look, Dean Palmer walked away with dozens of students and several elders!
At this time, Batman turned his gaze back to Edward, and the city lords behind them also drew their swords.
"Fireball!"
But at this moment, Gervis, who was still standing beside Edward, shouted!
Then a fireball the size of a bowl appeared in front of Gervis.
And this is just the beginning, in the stunned eyes of all the city lords.
"Fireball! Flame Meteor! Fire Shield!"
"Summoning!"
Gervis kept talking and released magic more than ten times in a row!
In an instant, fireballs continued to appear around Gervis and flaming meteors also formed on the field.
As the fire magic ended, hundreds of fully armed skeleton soldiers appeared beside Gervis!
"I told you I'm the mysterious pharmacist. Now! Whoever is willing to come and help, my previous promise is still valid. I'll give you ten magical potions!"
Gervis' words echoed throughout the venue, and were spoken in the midst of everyone's astonishment!
"This...this...he is really a magician! How is this possible!?"
"Could he really be the mysterious pharmacist?"
The city lords who had just felt cheated became excited again. Even though they suspected that they had seen it wrong, they hoped that all this was true.
Because only in this way will they have a chance to obtain those ten potions.
Batman was also horrified after seeing all this. He didn't expect that this god of death could actually use magic.
"Is he not a human? But if he is not a human, he cannot prepare magic potions..."
Such a thought flashed through Batman's mind, but the next moment he knew that he must kill this killer immediately.
Otherwise, it will be too late when those city lords really side with the other side.
"Die!"
Immediately, Batman rushed towards Gervis with a vicious face, wanting to kill Gervis in an instant, then his previous promise would naturally be invalid.
when!
Unfortunately, Edward had been on guard against him, so there was no way Batman could succeed in his sneak attack.
"Grevith, back off!"
After Edward blocked Badman's attack, he immediately gave an order to Gervis, and then fought with Badman.
"kill!"
When Johnson, Bruno and others saw the two sides start fighting, they immediately shouted and rushed forward with their fighting spirit.
…
“Oh my god!”
"What are you still standing there for! Hurry up if you want ten potions. I only need twenty helpers now. The extra people won't even get one potion!"
The city lords who were watching were still in shock. When Gervis saw that Edward and others were already fighting, he cursed inwardly and continued to shout at the city lords at the top of his voice.
"Ah? God of Killing, let me help you! Let me help you, I want ten potions!"
"Kill God! I'll help too. Ten potions!"
"And I..."
"Hurry up, if Duke Edward and the others get hurt, I won't take responsibility!"
When Gervis saw that the city lords had finally come to their senses and looked at their anxious expressions, he immediately rolled his eyes and gave them a warning!
Then, in an instant, the lords of the holy city rushed into the battle circle and fought with Badman's men.
The remaining city lords who were slow to react all showed expressions of disappointment and regret.
