Chapter 258 Part Two: Northern Fort Crisis

At Northern Fort,

Northern Protector moves his body to evade those boulders using his wind element successfully. While doing that his face becomes more distorted. There is a deep claw inquiry in its abdomen. It is getting worse by the second. Which puts so much strain on his body. That he began to feel agonising pain. These were the injuries suffered from previous battles.

"What to do? I can't drag it any longer, ``he thought to himself.

The Crimson Hall's Peak Elite on the other hand takes a glance at his partner Who is verifying the presence of any third party on the ground. Once his partner is done with his job they can join hands to kill the northern protector.

Just as he was pondering, his partner who is disguised as Trainee Warrior. Suddenly flew towards him, seeing that a happy glint flashes before his eyes. He knows the time has come, for the time being he can be sure that there is no presence of a third party around here.

The Northern Protector's senses screamed in alarming tones. He knew the new guy was not a foot soldier. Suddenly, he thought about fleeing from this place. He has done his best as an outsider. The problem of Star Tower has nothing to do with him. Right now he has to take care of his own life.

"Whiz"

He uses his wind element to flee. Seeing that the Crimson Hall duo stunned on the spot. They hadn't expected such a turn around. Suddenly, the earth element elite warrior begins to give chase. When comparing in terms of speed. He is nowhere near the northern protector. As a wind element warrior, the northern protector faced no difficulty in escaping.

The Earth Element Elite Warrior's expression changed drastically, "What a waste" He sneered inside. He had a good impression of Star Tower Elder. He never expected them to be such cowards. With a disappointing expression he flew back towards his partner.

"What happened?" The disguised Peak Elite Warrior inquired in a solemn tone.

"He is gone. I never thought he would find out soon about your disguise." The Earth Element Elite Warrior uttered in dissatisfaction.

"Sigh" "I should have made a sneak attack earlier." The disguised Warrior mumbled, shaking his head. He is quite disappointed about his own lack of judgement.

While the two were discussing, the situation on the ground overturned entirely. The northern protector's troop morale blows away completely. They didn't expect their lord to run away at the last moment. They are feeling quite a nightmare.

Soon, there is more bloodshed shed. Some of the troops begin to flee to save their life. While some caught battling against Crimson Hall's troops. The ground is littered with corpses. The earlier overwhelming numbers is reduced to 1/3. Capitalising the opportunity the Crimson Hall team begin to clear out the remaining enemies.

While the Peak Elite duo feel lazy to move their hands against low level warriors. They waited for their own warriors to clear out the battlefield.

"It turned out so easy in the end. We haven't suffered any losses so far" The Earth Element Warrior grinned.

Hearing that the disguised Elite Warrior shook his head and said," The Northern Protector had suffered injuries from previous battles and he also sacrificed his own artefacts on those battles. Otherwise it's impossible to be left unscathed."

The Earth Element Warrior nodded. Then he expressed in a solemn tone, "Let's go, before someone comes to this place. Then it will become a difficult situation for us to face. We have to finish our next part of the mission as soon as possible."

The Elite duo soon moved towards the city with their subordinates. They didn't occupy the northern fort or get involved in other side missions. Right now, their main objective is to secure their students.

Once they moved away from the northern fort border region. The area literally looked war torn, more than half of northern troops fell. Only a few escaped warriors breathed in relief. When they confirmed the enemy forces moved away from this spot. They decided not to stay in this spot otherwise they will be considered deserters.

Soon the news about northern fort's fall broke out soon. There were some brave war reporters who broadcasted the whole thing from a distance. Which includes the northern protector's earlier successful battles to his last cowardly feeling. The face of entire government officials turned green with shame.

Actually it's the job of the City Lord and his officials to safeguard the city. The Star Tower management is not responsible for protecting this city.

They are only doing it for their ongoing competition. Which will end in a few days. Then what will happen? The City Lord fumed in anger by watching the broadcast. Not only him, his entire city is watching the broadcast. How come the northern protector chose to flee at the last moment? His veins pop up thinking that.

Soon, he will become a laughing stock. His ambition of moving towards Tier-7 City now becomes impossible. Such a bad record who will support him now. He doesn't believe even the Hall Master of Star Tower can support him in this situation.

The other hand, thinking about two Peak elite warriors. He got even angrier. "What audacity to send two Elite Warriors?" his eyes flashes with killing intent, "Which force is it?" He knew there was already someone moving towards the northern fort. There is a good chance to intercept those guys. Recalling that he decided to call him.

(From MC Perspective)

At Star Tower's guest house,

"Thank goodness" I sighed in relief. When I received a confirmation message from Mr. Jonathan. He has successfully disposed of Darius's body and there is no evidence left out. Even Crimson Hall can't do anything about it. They will return empty handed.

While I'm beaming with joy, the news channel suddenly broadcasted breaking news.

"Hmmm" Seeing the name of Northern Protector, I was taken back.

Soon the reporter briefed the news with battle footage. My expression changed drastically watching the fleeing video of the northern protector.
