Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 158: Chapter 119: No Need to Wait Anymore (2)

These guards were almost all formal knights.

However, when they actually engaged, they realized that the power they usually took pride in was completely worthless in front of these two monsters.

The giant lizard just pounced and bit, tearing a knight guard into two. Then, with a flick of its tail, amidst a piercing sound of air being split, three knight guards were flung high into the air.

While still in mid-air, there was a spine-chilling crunch of bones exploding from within them, their bodies twisting into bizarre angles, clearly dead.

The pitch-black giant spider was even more ferocious; with a casual swipe of its foreleg, it split a knight guard, armor and all, as smoothly as cutting tofu.

On the other hand, when weapons from their side struck the spider, besides sparking, they couldn’t even leave a scratch.

In less than half a minute, the knight guards were slaughtered heavily, retreating step by step.

The noblemen watched with pale faces, yet they were helpless.

They never imagined that the heavily guarded lord’s manor would be breached by just two monsters, and so many knight guards were unable to handle them.

They wanted to call for reinforcements, but the enemy was right in front of them; it was probably too late to go to the barracks and mobilize troops now.

Moreover, the barracks had also come under attack, whether they could arrive in time was another issue.

“What do we do, Count?”

The crowd turned their eyes to Count Nolai.

Having experienced many battles, Count Nolai didn’t panic. He took a deep breath and drew the knight’s longsword from his waist.

“Break through, as long as we reach the barracks, we’re safe!”

Baron Bedman hesitated, “Or shall we wait for Priest Jensen and the others to come out?”

Many nobles subconsciously nodded.

If possible, they preferred not to risk breaking through, after all, those two monsters looked incredibly powerful.

Currently, their guards could still hold for a while, possibly lasting until Priest Jensen defeats Sunan. By then, with their intervention, it would be easy to deal with these two monsters.

Count Nolai frowned and was about to speak, but suddenly a voice behind him sent chills down his spine.

“Unfortunately, there’s no need to wait.”

The crowd turned around in shock, seeing Sunan had returned to the hall at some point.

Yet, the people of Starfire Sect were nowhere to be seen.

Looking at Sunan’s indifferent expression, the crowd’s faces instantly turned ghastly pale, a gripping fear sprouting in their hearts.

“W-What about Priest Jensen and the others?”

Baron Bedman stammered, a trace of hope seemingly lingering in his eyes.

Sunan gave him a mocking glance, ignoring such an obvious question.

In fact, there was no need for him to answer.

Seeing Sunan here while the people of Starfire Sect were nowhere to be found, the nobles present had already guessed the outcome, their faces showing expressions of astonishment and despair.

In the next moment, Sunan raised his finger slightly.

In an instant, countless flashes of lightning surged forth, overwhelming the nobles.

The nobles present were mostly knight level, the strongest being just Count Nolai, who was a middle-level knight.

Against this level of ’minions’, Sunan didn’t even bother to cast magic, directly manipulating energy particles to form entities, instantly taking everyone down.

After the lightning, the hall entrance was filled with charred corpses.

Among them, only Count Nolai remained intact, his old face frozen with a deep sense of unwillingness and despair.

To think a noble count was killed so brazenly in his own domain; anyone would feel indignant.

With the death of the nobles, the remaining knight guards quickly lost their will to fight.

Most panicked and fled, while a few loyal guards who sought revenge for their lord were cut in half by the Dual-bladed Spider before they could get close to Sunan.

Sunan didn’t stop, strolling leisurely outward.

Along the way, he encountered soldiers coming to defend their lord, but they were effortlessly cleared by Hidden Dragon and Dual-bladed Spider.

The Tier Two Legendary-level magical pets and puppets were overwhelmingly crushing these ordinary soldiers who weren’t even knights.

Occasionally, a knight-level officer couldn’t stop this duo.

So, Sunan crushed through along the way, first visiting the Starfire Sect’s branch in Ya’an City, then went to the city gate and barracks to retrieve the golem puppet, and finally left leisurely.

The tens of thousands of troops stationed in Ya’an City couldn’t even hinder his steps, only able to watch Sunan leave, leaving a mess behind.

…

Soman Province, Gaoya City.

Kei stood atop a hill, gazing at the distant outline of the castle, his eyes slightly gleaming.

Gaoya City’s geographical environment is unique, with a castle built halfway up the mountain, behind it a steep cliff, five to six hundred meters high, smooth and unblemished, even knights cannot climb it.

The castle is flanked by dense forests on both sides, with only the front having a pedestrian-accessible mountain path.

It’s considered easy to defend and hard to attack.

If possible, Kei wouldn’t want to tackle this tough nut.

But Gaoya City happens to block the path for advancing into Soman Province. Without taking Gaoya City first, if its army stabs from behind during the war’s climax, cutting off logistics, the consequences would be unthinkable.

On the other hand, Soman Province is mostly hilly terrain. Once Gaoya City is taken, the Black Rock Cavalry Legion’s strategic depth will greatly expand, allowing them to separate Soman Province’s towns and defeat them individually.

One could say that taking Gaoya City would mean winning half the war.
