There was already a large crowd gathered on the town wall, everyone was fearfully watching the raging swarm of bugs in front of them, feeling helpless.
Anthony was also on the wall at this moment. Originally, he had been preparing for an immediate attack at the base of the wall. He was waiting for the protective barrier to break, for the bugs to surge into the town, so he could strike, take out the bug charmer. This could potentially be the only way to save the city.
Of course, Anthony didn’t know that even if the bug charmer was to die, the bugs wouldn’t stop. They would eat everything edible, fight each other, and then eventually all die out.
Under a normal pace of growth, the bugs can’t evolve. Only with Life Acceleration, which speeds up their generations, could it be possible.
However, Anthony had already made the best preparations within his capacity. Whether it would be successful or not was out of his control. But with such significant changes taking place, he couldn’t stay at the bottom of the wall. He hurried up to the top of the wall promptly, where he witnessed the most magnificent sight in his life.
A fearless warrior opened his chest, taking a fragile little girl into his arms and then engulfed by the tidal wave of bugs. The peaks formed by the swarming bugs looked like a deep, devouring abyss.
This scene could easily become a timeless painting.
Obviously, not just he thought so. Not far on the wall, a wizard had already unrolled a scroll, swiftly moving his fingers in the air. Before long, the scene was sealed within the scroll.
When the scroll is activated, everything recorded within will manifest, appearing lifelike in front of you, giving you an experiential feeling.
This kind of Illusion Scroll, besides being expensive and having a limited activation count, has no other drawbacks.
“Oh.”, Ange indicated understanding and then he pulled Negris into his mind, letting them talk it over.
As dusk fell, Ange began to gather Fire Elements into the bug corpse mountain, setting them ablaze. The blaze that devoured the bug mountain spouted dozens of meters high.
The rising heat carried away a lot of embers, scattering in all directions. Particular attention to downwind, the following year, the Black Mountain Kingdom had an explosive yield of crops. But all this would occur in the future.
Anthony on the town wall shouted loudly: “Governor, open the gates!”
On the tower, a temporary governor of the Black Mountain Kingdom peeked out, saying: “No, it’s dark. We can’t open the gates. If even one bug slips in, we’d be doomed.”
Anthony nodded. He understood the temporary governor’s worries. Indeed, should a single bug slip in and make its way into the sewers, it could quickly multiply into an army of bugs. The thought of bugs crawling out of every sewer hole, every cesspool, every dirty drain was downright horrifying.
No opening, then. Anthony simply jumped from the town wall. As soon as he landed, the temporary governor shouted: “Lord Anthony, are you going to visit that brave bug exterminator? Please express our thanks from the Black Mountain Kingdom. We’re preparing some gifts and food to send over later.”
“Sure, no problem.” Anthony murmured to himself: He sure knows how to handle things.
“Wait for me, wait for me. That’s our boss. Catch us.” Sava’s voice came from the city wall.
Anthony took a look. It was a tall and slender girl who was also related to Ange’s servant? Well, that wouldn’t be a problem: “Alright, jump down here. I will catch you.”
Sava took a deep breath, closed her eyes and jumped, and Anthony caught her solidly.
“Thank you, thank you, there’s one more.” Sava politely thanked.
Anthony saw that Sava was rather beautiful, he instantly perked up and pulled his most charming smile onto his face: “No problem, serving beautiful ladies is my honor. Next lady, jump, bravely jump.”Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
