Chapter 149 Invaders

Allof Edwin was currently the commander and Lord presiding over Monwac city and he wasn't having a particularly good day, the rebel army had earlier launched a probe before being pulled back, preparing to lay a proper siege soon.

The city had been fortified with the soldiers in their right places, and he had prepared himself to wait in the city until it was the appropriate time for him to go out and fight, but the appearance of the invaders had thrown everything off balance.

The invaders were powerful people not of this world who from time to time popped up around the world and engaged in battles, they were foreign conquerors.

The invaders while powerful were always few, so the fear of being attacked by an army of invaders was almost nonexistent, but while just because they didn't have an army did not mean that their effect on the battlefield was negligible as they instead had the most deadliest of effect and right now was a perfect example.

At the moment, Edwin was supposed to be in the city, giving out orders, his presence acting as a ray of courage and hope, and most importantly be ready to fight when a powerful cultivator came to attack the city during the siege, but the 4 invaders all changed that.

Arriving near the city and arrogantly calling for him to follow them out and fight, Edwin was left with the choice to either ignore them and watched them cause unstoppable destruction, or follow them out and do battle.

Edwin had chosen the latter, leaving with two selected soldiers, they had engaged in battle with the invaders, but in the end, things hadn't gone their way and they were being beaten, it didn't take long for Edwin to find himself all alone and shockingly being overpowered by the four invaders.

Seeing defeat and eventually death as the only outcome if he kept at the battle, Edwin had decided to flee, planning to pull off some stunts that would hopefully help him lose his pursuers, but while still in the process, he had crossed paths with a powerful stranger who stopped him, and to his dread, this stranger spoke that detestable cultivation language, and though he could speak and understand it, Edwin felt disgusted every time he heard it being spoken, and felt even more disgusted when he himself spoke it, was it not for his earlier education and the necessity for him to understand his enemies, he would never have learned it.

Images of his death had begun popping up in Edwin's mind as held no illusions escape with the addition of someone as powerful as the invader before him, but to his surprise, an argument had started between the new invader and the next thing he knew they were attacking each other.

One against four and to Edwin's surprise, the new man seemed to be doing just fine and even better, putting all four on their back legs, but Edwin knew this wouldn't last for long, so quietly slipped away, planning to quickly return the city, but as he carried out his getaway, his better judgment stopped him.

While it was true that he needed to quickly return and stabilize the armies morale, wouldn't it be better if he could kill off all the invaders, escaping now would just mean he would have to fight them another day, and he wasn't even sure if the any of the invaders would die in this battle, but if he was there, he was more than sure that he could get in at least two kills when the invaders tired themselves.

Making his decision. Edwin popped some pills in his mouth and turned back moving to a good position from where he could spy, a telescope appearing in his hand.

...…..

Tarry Grey was a good-natured gentleman and had no tolerance for men who bullied weak women.

While it wasn't Grey's first time entering this dungeon, Aimy was the first of her kind that he had ever seen, and the time they had spent traveling together to their mission location had built a bond between them as she had confided her fears in him.

When they had encountered Edwin and his entourage Grey had sent Aimy to fight off one of Edwin's soldiers when he noticed her strength could not compare only for her to return minutes later and report how she had been ambushed and barely escape capture from the hands of a man who wanted to capture her and make her a slave, one of her greatest fears.

The sight of a cute female with fluffy ears tearfully pouring out her grievance, what man wouldn't be moved by such a sight, so finding Seth at this moment thrilled grey, he was going to seek justice for Aimy, pouring out his pent-up anger while he did it.

...…..

To the current Seth, the upcoming fight was nothing but a training session for him, other than the grey guy who tingled his senses a little, the rest were just practice dummies, except they could move.

Since he broke through to the 3rd stage solid soldier level, Seth hadn't really tested out his new strength, his spar against Dorian only Demonstrating how powerful his bloodline could make someone, Dorian having thoroughly defeated him, and the worst part was she hadn't even been going all out, not even using her qi.

A sway in his steps as he moved and Seth shot off, red and black appearing in his left and right hands respectively as he appeared beside the bare chested man, both his weapons swinging down at him, but the man reacted quickly as he immediately brought his great sword above his head perfectly blocking both red and black, but he didn't go unaffected as he fell down to one knee, having just withstood more than 60% of Seth's full strength.

Just as Seth lifted his weapons to go for another attack on the kneeling man, an angry bird made of flames quickly charged him from the side, slamming into him and carrying him off with it, a fiery explosion taking off when it collided with a thick tree in its path.
