The moment the Chaos Storm and the Beacon Flame Guardian touched, there was a terrifying loud noise, as if the entire sky was exploding.

The whole world was sometimes dazzling, sometimes dark, and in the blink of an eye, blood-red lightning could be seen cutting through the dark clouds, and blood was gurgling in the sky overhead.

A wild hurricane that had never been seen before came in a hurry, sweeping through everything on the city walls, and some untied military supplies were blown everywhere, and even the heavy compressed gas canisters were blown over by the wind and rolled down the city walls. The torrential rain then poured down like a river bursting in the sky, and the rain was so violent that nothing could be seen half a step away.

The defenders on the walls could not withstand such a violent storm, so they had to retreat one after another, taking refuge in the watchtowers and barracks. If the desert barbarians were able to organize an attack at this time, it would probably be easy to take the outer walls of Coventry.

However, the barbarians suffered even more, and the heavy rain caused not only the defenders of Coventry, but also the barbarian army encamped in the wilderness. In the blink of an eye, the stagnant water submerged the calves, and the barbarian army that was preparing to attack did not receive the order to retreat, so they could only grit their teeth and stand shoulder to shoulder in the stagnant water. They grumbled and cursed as best they could, waiting for the order to withdraw to camp.

The offensive has undoubtedly failed. No one can find a direction in this chaotic world, and the result of a blind attack can only make the troops chaotic, cannibalistic, and finally scattered. The commander of the barbarian army, the Arahan Chief, was a battle-hardened military leader, and of course he would not refuse to admit defeat, and it was another matter that kept him from giving the order to retreat.

Led by the great sorcerer Tenadir, hundreds of shamans knelt in the icy water, their bodies tense as if they were tensed bowstrings, their whole bodies trembling, their arms and foreheads showing green tendons, and their round eyes full of bloodshot - as if they were fighting with all their might against some invisible force.

If the Arrahan had a magical eye to see through the rain and fog, the walls and the distance, he would have been amazed to find that something similar to the one was happening on top of the four towers in the inner city of Coventry. The Thornflower Family's most powerful molten warriors, the nineteen mentors known as the Nineteen Heroes, were divided into four groups, each leading ten high-level molten warriors to guard a tower. Now each of them pressed their hands on the crystal ball on the top floor of the tower, and their whole bodies trembled, and they were summoning all their strength to resist the heavy pressure from the sky.

In other words, more than a hundred shamans of the Desert Barbarians are engaged in a strange battle with the most elite molten warriors of the Thornflower Clan, and the battlefield of the battle between the two sides is the Chaos Storm and the Beacon Guardian that collide violently in the sky.

No one, including the Great Wizard Tenadir, knew what the outcome of the battle would be, so they could only go all out, desperately squeezing out the last shred of strength in their bodies, and then condense and disperse into the sky. The weakest shamans could not bear it anymore and fell into the water one after another. The head of the Arrahan ordered his men to rescue the fainting wizard immediately, but when the shamans were carried to the camp, they found that they were already out of breath.

Nineteen mentors and forty high-level molten gold warriors were already the strongest strength that the Thorn Flower Clan could muster, but compared to the hundreds of shamans outside the city, there was still a significant gap. It's just that the crystal ball of the Coventry Inner City Tower can greatly increase the mental power, and it barely pulls the strength of the two sides to the same level.

After a period of stalemate, a little later than the shamans had died, the dead began to appear among the high-ranking molten warriors. At first, a young man with freckles on his face showed a frightened expression, it was obvious that he should have a bright future, because becoming a senior at a young age almost meant that he would definitely be able to break through the bottleneck of becoming a mentor, but now, lack of experience and accumulation has become a fatal weakness.

Realizing that he was about to become the first victim, the young man had an unshakable belief in the glory of the Thorn Flower, but in the face of death, he found that there were still holes in his heart.

"Help me, I don't want to die...... the young man's weak voice overflowed the corners of his lips, but there was no one around to lend a helping hand. He wanted to withdraw his mental power, even if it led to a total rout. This cowardly act became a death knell for the youth to ring for themselves.

As the young man's frightened expression froze on his face, the whole person fell to the sky like a stake, and the bright light from the top of the west tower in the inner city dimmed a trace that was not easy to detect. This is a very bad sign, the number of shamans is far outnumbered by the molten warriors who maintain the Beacon Guard, and if the barrier collapses, the chaos storm that covers it can destroy at least half of Coventry.

This change was very inconspicuous, except for Baron Edelman, who got the news, only Merlin Avery, who always paid attention to the Beacon Guard, noticed it.

"Things don't seem to be going well......" Seeing that the light from the North Tower had dimmed slightly, Avery scratched his sideburns and said in a hesitant tone, "President Herderland, I think I'm compelled to retract my judgment. If this stalemate continues, Thorn Flower is likely to lose. ”

President Halderland's face was free of the initial anxiety, and to be honest, no one would feel any anxiety when they were surrounded by dozens of mentor-level powerhouses.

"Thorn Flower may lose. The old apothecary nodded in agreement, "But as long as you don't give up here, Coventry won't fall into the hands of the desert barbarians." ”

Avery still had a solemn face, "Beacon Fire Guardian is the most important hole card of the Thorn Flower Family, and it is not so simple to open it to a group of outsiders. ”

"Not really, but after tasting the bitterness, facing the danger of the fall and destruction of the city-state, His Excellency the Archon will convince the diehards of the family. President Halderland sighed, his eyes showing bitter emotion, "It's a pity that these outstanding talents died in vain, if the Thornflower family could give you more trust, none of them would have died." ”

The place where the two of them spoke was next to the square in front of the Castle Lord's Mansion, and more than thirty mercenary samurai from the City of Wisdom were scattered around, either resting, or walking into the shops that were not closed, or taking an interested look at the surroundings. The citizens and scavengers of the City of Wisdom all come from different countries and even different worlds, and they are very interested in Coventry's customs and materials.

The Thorn Flower family politely refused to allow these high-end combat forces to enter the City Lord's Mansion, and even refused to allow them to climb the tower to fight together. Although Baron Edelman had a good personal relationship with Merlin Avery, when several elders in the family were unanimously opposed, the ruler had to sigh and shake his head, expressing his sincere gratitude and more apologies to Avery.

The light emitted from the top of the West Tower suddenly shook violently, then flickered several times, and the brightness was noticeably dimmed. Avery looked up, his eyes flashing with the characteristic light of alchemy, and then his mouth snorted.

"There was a big man who fell, as if he was one of the nineteen heroes of the Thorn Flower. He told President Heldland, "If I'm not mistaken, he's the son of the man who was most vehemently opposed to outside help, and I wonder if the elder would regret it?"

Avery was a little gloating, and he didn't know that the family elders who opposed Thorn Flower accepting help from outsiders had no possibility of regretting it. As a mentor-level molten gold warrior who was not included in the Nineteen Heroes, this elder was one of the rotations of the West Tower, and he should have climbed the tower a few minutes before to replace his son, whose mental power was nearly exhausted.

However, the elder never appeared, and several of the other rotations suddenly disappeared, and they could not be found anyway. Without rotation, the guardians of the four towers gradually could not support it, and three mentors and more than a dozen high-level molten gold warriors fell down one after another, and the rest of them were also crumbling, and their originally resolute faces gradually became dyed with despair.

Baron Edelman Brippes, whose face was pale, pushed away several family elders who were still chattering, and walked out of the city lord's mansion hall angrily, he was going to gather the high-level molten gold warriors of the city guards to make up for the gap in the guardians of the Beacon Tower. The thought of these stubborn and stupid elders joining forces and rejecting the Iron Master's extended hand of friendship burned with rage.

"When necessary, I will take them all to bow their heads and ask the Iron Master to lend a hand. ”

Of course, the taste of bowing his head and pleading would not be pleasant, but the thought of the distorted and struggling faces of those elders made Baron Edelman feel happy. Of course, the mystery of the Iron Master has not yet been solved, but when it comes to life and death, there is nothing more important than the continuation of the family. No matter what the Iron Master had, it was much better than the barbarian army outside the city that was eager to chew on the bones of the Thorn Flower Clan.

What Baron Edelman didn't expect was that as he walked out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion quickly, he was met by the Iron Master and President Herderland standing side by side on the side of the square, the latter smiling and the former casting worried eyes.

"The light of the Beacon Guardian is fading. Merlin Avery said in the calmest tone possible, "Is there anything we can do to help, Your Excellency?"

Baron Edelman's body shook, and an indescribably complicated expression appeared on his face. "Iron Master...... Alas, you never left?"

"Leaving Coventry, my chosen second home, where am I going?" Avery shrugged, then raised his right hand, a golden flame blooming from his palm. This is a signal for the Honorary Citizens of the City of Wisdom to declare their status, and it is really good to use it to gather those hired mentor-level powerhouses.

Figures scattered around the square then appeared. Although they experienced a bloody battle on the city wall, due to their excellent equipment, sufficient potions, and outstanding qualifications, none of the Iron Master's escort group were damaged, which made many people in the Thorn Flower family feel lucky, but also felt a faint threat.

The Iron Master already has the strength to rival the Thornflower family, and he has a good relationship with President Heldland, which is really not a good sign for the Thornflower family, who have controlled Coventry for hundreds of years.

That's why those old stubborn people refuse to accept the Iron Master's help, and if the Thornflower family can't hold Coventry on their own, then they won't be able to refuse the Iron Master's share of the future archon's authority.

What a bunch of rat-eyed guys.

Baron Edelman cursed a few more words from the bottom of his heart, and then bowed solemnly to Avery. "I, Baron Edelman Brippes, ruler of the Thornflower family, have a solemn invitation to your aid in helping Coventry defend itself against the barbarian armies of the desert, and everyone in Coventry will be grateful to you.
