The setting sun shines on the gate of the Vaga City, which has been closed. In addition to four or five enchanters, over the city walls hundreds of archers are standing by. Judged by the way the enchanters dress, they are of high levels.
Beneath the walls there is a middle-aged knight on a black horse, wearing a shining armor with a huge broad sword in his hand. A murderous look is on his face, which gives enormous pressure on those behind him.
A carriage is hurrying towards the city, and the middle-aged knight’s face grows more and more gloomy as it is getting closer.
A moment later, the carriage has come to the place which is dozens of meters away from the middle-aged knight. Before the middle-aged knight suddenly stops the carriage.
“Laidlaw, I haven’t seen you for a long time,” says the middle-aged knight word by word.
It is Laidlaw who is driving the carriage and Rowen and Agatha are of course in the carriage. Sarles reacts more quickly than they have expected, and when they drive to the city gate, there are already thousands of people waiting for them.
“Being a Lord of this city doesn’t seem to be good to you, Sarles?” Laidlaw says indifferently. This knight is the Lord of Vaga City whose name is Sarles Solomon.
“Laidlaw, give me that girl, then I’ll let you leave alive!” says Sarles, gritting his teeth.
“Sarles, you are not enough to compete with me.” There is a distinct contempt in Laidlaw’s voice.
“Laidlaw, I will give you one last chance. Give me that girl, and I will spare your life!” Sarles says coldly.
“You’re not eligible to say that, Sarles.” Laidlaw’s face is full of contempt. “I will give you one last chance to open the gate for us, or I will paint the walls of Wagga with your blood!”
“Laidlaw, you’re killing yourself!” Sarles snorts angrily, “If so, you may die.”
Broad sword strikes violently at Laidlaw, and splendid purple Dou Chi bursts out from it. Sarles is also a level-7 warrior, but this will not greatly threaten Laidlaw who is a level-8 warrior able to release the silver Dou Chi.
But Laidlaw is not Sarles’s real target. The moment his broad sword strikes, the archers and enchanters on the walls begin their attack as if they have been instructed at the same time.
The whooshes of arrows mingle with the sound of the enchanters’ spells, and thousands of arrows fire at the same target, not at Laidlaw, but at the carriage behind him, and that is the Sarles’s real target. Who he wants to kill most is Agatha!
The sound of the enchanters’ spells is finally over at this moment. Raging enchanting flames burst forth all around the carriage, wind blades and water arrows flow towards it from all directions at the same time, forming a huge net that allows no one in the carriage to escape.
Boom!
The carriage explodes and a graceful figure flies to the sky. It is Agatha who holds a sword in her right hand and Rowen in her left.
Agatha swings her left hand backward, and a beautiful arc appears in the sky when Rowen lands lightly on the ground dozens meters away from the enchanters and archers’ attack range. Meanwhile, Agatha continues flying in the sky and doesn’t escape the oncoming arrows, wind blades and water arrows. It seems that the arrows and attacks on her body do not cause any harm at all.
In a moment Agatha has leaped to the wall and landed among those enchanters. Then only a soft voice is heard before a splendid purple Dou Chi draws a circle around her body.
“Er…” A series of screams is heard, and the enchanters next to Agatha have fallen down. Agatha’s mighty Dou Chi has killed them before they could release their enchanting shields.
Seeing Agatha’s splendid performance, Rowen becomes a little bit stunned at that time. It is not until this moment that he really feels that Agatha is indeed a girl of genius. Her excellent fighting skills and powerful Dou Chi have been vividly displayed at this moment. He also finally understands that just like his iron armored beast, the metal clothes on Agatha are not used as a decoration but used as a weapon, and with them ordinary attacks cannot harm her at all.
Agatha’s performance is not over. After dealing with the enchanters, she shuttles like a shadow among the archers. She is so fast that Rowen cannot see her action clearly, all he can hear is miserable shrieks coming one after another. At the same time, he sees archers fall upon the wall one by one, and all archers on the city wall have fallen down in just a few seconds.
As Laidlaw has said before, their blood stains the walls, and the only difference is that it is Agatha not Laidlaw who did it.
However, Laidlaw doesn’t stand aside doing nothing. A huge bang is heard before a silver Dou Chi collides Sarles’s purple Dou Chi, then a great wave spreads in all directions in the air.
“Ah…” The black horse on which Sarles is riding falls down with a mournful whine, while Sarles flies backwards with his whole body. Obviously, he is no match for Laidlaw in terms of strength.
At this moment, Agatha who has killed all the enchanters and archers leaps down from the wall. Suddenly, she straightens her body and swoops down in the air with her sword in both hands. The sword is pointing straight at the top of Sarles’s head, it seems that she tries to pierce Sarles from his head to toe.
With Laidlaw standing in front of him and Agatha above him, what’s worse, his men have been all killed, Sarles suddenly falls into a state of being left high and dry. In addition, both Laidlaw and Agatha are more powerful than Sarles. In such a situation, Sarles has only one choice, that is to escape!
Agatha, who has killed the Sarles’s son, naturally doesn’t mind killing Sarles. Sarles also knows exactly that Laidlaw could not spare his life, even if he is the Lord of the City, the Ryan Family would not care about it.
Sarles quickly steps back and hits the city gate with his body. With a bang, the huge city gate is burst open by Sarles. The next second, Sarles has already retreated to the outside of the City.
Agatha and Laidlaw reach the gate almost at the same time, and at that moment there comes a continuous whooshing sound. A great number of arrows like swarms of locusts are shooting at them.
Agatha and Laidlaw hurry back. Though they just glance it quickly, they have already known that there is a troop of thousands of people waiting for them outside the City.
“The impudent old bastard has sent the army!” Curses Agatha when she steps back. Things start to get worse. Even if she and Laidlaw are powerful enough to fight back, they are only two people. It is too difficult for two to fight with thousands of people. What’s more, they don’t know whether there are masters in the other army. Once the other side has a warrior like Sarles, it is basically impossible for her and Laidlaw to break through their siege.
Suddenly the streets of Vaga City begin to shake, and the rumble of clops comes from far and near. Agatha couldn’t help looking back, and she feels startled again that an army is also coming at full speed. It seems that they would soon be caught both from behind and in front.
“Agatha, come in quickly!” Just then Rowen’s voice appears.
Agatha turns her head and sees Rowen’s giant summoning beast is standing beside her with a small door open for one person to enter or leave.
“Get into this?” Agatha hesitates, “What’s this?”
“Come in first!” Rowen commands, “Come on, all of you, I’ll take you out of here!”
“Oh, all right!” Though a little confused, Agatha subconsciously decides to believe Rowen. She enters first, followed by Laidlaw.
“Wow, is that big here?” Agatha cries out as she gets into the cockpit. She looks so excited that she walks to Rowen quickly and tries to touch the console, “What’s this?” She asks.
“Stop it!” Shouts Rowen, “Do not touch anything, stay where you are!”
Agatha stands still and then murmurs, “I won’t touch, why are you so mean? Niggard!”
Rowen doesn’t pay attention to her, now he has put all his attention on controlling the iron armored beast. The screen shows everything in a wide area around, so although he has not yet gone out of the gate, he could clearly see that the large army outside and the approaching cavalry behind them. In his view, the only option to get out of their siege is to ask iron armored beast for help.
When the cockpit door is closed, Rowen suddenly pushes the control lever to speed up the beast. Its huge body rushes out of the gate and rushed into the huge army.
Arrows are shooting at them like swarms of locusts and the jingling sounds are here and there, but Rowen ignores them because he knows well that these ordinary arrows couldn’t hurt the iron armored beast at all.
The iron armored beast is galloping forward in a straight line under his control. In a moment it is standing in front of the huge army whose soldiers in armor are approaching, waving their weapons.
“Ah… Er…” Screams and howls are heard over and over again, and each one who wants to approach them is killed or wounded. The army is thus run over by the iron armored beast as if no one can stop it. At this moment, Rowen finds that the iron armored beast can exert a greater power when it is on the battlefield. When the two armies at war, if one party can use the iron armored beast to take the lead, it will definitely bring chaos to the other party.
