As a wizard's lair, despite being an outbuilding next to the Mage Tower, the manor is still home to a large number of magical devices, such as the Power Wall Shield.

That's why the wizard dared to convene a meeting of the upper nobles of Simon here, although the nobles' mansions in the city also had magic devices to defend against dark creatures, but Albach's assassination had taught others that such protection methods were not reliable, and the wizards were of course even more distrustful.

He was still very relieved about his arrangement, and Penny also expected that the Night Mask would not watch the nobles of Simon finish their meeting here, gather a large army, and crusade against the Night Mask strongholds hidden all over Simon.

Therefore, this attack was also expected by him.

However, the power of this burstable gem was beyond Penny's expectations.

The moment this amazingly large magic gem fell to the ground, the resulting source force shock triggered dozens of protective walls and force field walls preset in various places, but the violent explosion made all these protections into fragments, and the scattered force knocked over the tables and chairs, nobles, priests, wizards and all kinds of servants sitting around the round table, and then as another batch of burst gems fell, another series of explosions made the square surrounded by smoke, a large number of nobles exclaimed, and the sound of someone crossing the high wall of the manor was faintly heard around, and the weapon cut in** The sound also sounded in fragments.

The wizard's unconventional eyesight saw a hundred or so black-clad masked men pouring in from all directions, undoubtedly the Night Mask Assassins, most of them armed with swords and shields, and a layer of leather armor over their black clothes - such weapons and equipment certainly did not look like the equipment of assassins.

When a group of assassins jumped into the house, but with long knives and shields, and armor, the wizard knew that these men were not so much here to assassinate as to fight.

It's not easy to get rid of such a bunch of guys.

A few servants on the periphery first tasted the blade of the killer who crossed the wall, howling and spurting blood to the ground, several warriors greeted them, as the escort of the nobles, their martial arts were undoubtedly very skillful, but in a hurry, it was difficult to form an effective resistance, the killers charged towards the center of the manor where the nobles were located in waves, and these nobles who were knocked over to the ground and were still a little dizzy, did not even stand up yet.

However, the wizard did not intend to fight these invaders, he raised his hand, and a huge magic circle appeared on the surrounding ground, encompassing all the participants in the meeting, and a strong arcane light immediately floated from this magic circle.

The assassins noticed this, and the experienced people had already judged that this was a large-scale teleportation spell, and hurriedly commanded several thugs who could use spell props, trying to throw scrolls and bombs to prevent the teleportation array from taking effect, and a huge magic gem no less than the size of the detonating attack had fallen to the outer edge of the magic array, but the wizard who had been prepared for it had already released an arcane fire to intercept the gem in the air.

There was another huge explosion, and the teleportation array also completed its mission, and with a flash of light, the nobles found that they were already in a hall, and those killers and thick smoke were gone, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, but they noticed the closed environment around them, and they became a little nervous.

"Welcome to my Mage Tower. The wizard smiled at the nobles, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be nervous. ”

This sentence made many nobles relax, but Goodall, Bishop Khazar, and Celion were vigilant - these three people learned the true face of the wizard, and they already had a deep sense of defense, of course, they were afraid that the mage would hack this group of nobles at this time.

Whatever their own thoughts, in the eyes of Khazar, Pon Diesel is a complete careerist, and his intrigues have brought great calamity to Simon City, the purpose is only to satisfy his own ambitions, if he succeeds in seizing Simon's authority, it will inevitably lead the entire Simon and even the Dragon Coast into a deeper disaster.

Not to mention the Church of Tyre, even the Bloodsail Boss Selien, who also harbors bad ideas, cannot tolerate this kind of thing.

But if the sinister face of the wizard is exposed now, it is clear that it will do more harm than good, and the core reason will not be left aside for the time being - you must know that those hapless nobles are still being detained in the Sere Concession.

But when it comes to the Night Mask, Pan Diesel is their next target.

A temporary victory is to be appreciated, but it must not be taken to mean that the loser will never have a chance to turn around.

However, this time they were a bit of a villain, and although Penny's plan this time was ill-intentioned, it was not so stingy as it was.

What's more, in the face of the aristocratic masses who don't know the truth, how could he casually stick out his sharp fangs, wouldn't it scare many people?

And some nobles who don't know the truth are still crying gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Diesel, you saved us again, these people are so bold that they dare to assassinate us at this time." ”

"You're welcome. The wizard smiled and waved his hand: "Look, they can't attack." ”

A light and shadow appeared in the center of the hall, and the nobles saw the mob of assassins surrounding the tower, trying to throw burst gems and magic scrolls to destroy the protective shield outside the tower, but a powerful whirlwind enveloped the entire tower, occasionally unleashing dazzling lightning bolts to attack anyone who tried to get close, and occasionally someone rushed into the wind barrier with the blessing of a large number of spells, and was also killed by the ballista on the mage tower.

This undoubtedly reassured all the nobles that a mage's lair was indeed not so easy to breach, and after a while, the thugs who attacked the mage tower could not bear the huge losses and withdrew one after another—it was clear that there was a lack of high-level spellcasters among them.

There aren't many high-level mages in the Night Mask, after all, they are a thief organization, not a spellcaster's guild.

All the nobles were relieved to see that the attack of the Night Mask had gone bankrupt again, but a moment later, serious news came from the city.

"You mean, the Night Mask has suddenly launched a large-scale attack, attacking the various nobles stranded in the city, and hitting the central council chamber?"

"Are these bats crazy?" James Salaval Sr. frowned, "If I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be a sunny day." He looked at his watch again: "It's not noon yet." ”

Vampires don't dare to appear casually during the day, even if they look like normal people on the outside, the power of the light will be greatly reduced, not to mention those vampire descendants whose dark night masks are leaned on as the core backbone?

With the human members in the Mask of Night alone, there is no doubt that they do not have enough strength to rebel in Westgate City.

If it weren't for all these restrictions, the vampires would have ruled Simon through rebellion.

Maybe it's because of Simon's chaos that the Night King smells a huge crisis and is ready to fight for his life?

It's not impossible, anyway, the vampires have lost control of the upper nobles, and if the nobles are united, the Night Mask will inevitably suffer a series of blows in the next time, and slowly play out - as long as the nobles reach a consensus and completely eliminate the interference of the vampires, this is the foreseeable future.

So it is a good way to attack in advance and subdue the nobles of Simon.

From the Night King's point of view, the long life gives him more freedom, and the power can be established again when the power is gone, anyway, the long life of the vampire king for more than ten years is just a small wave.

Therefore, he made such a decision with perfect justification.

But this was not good news for the nobles, and the vampires' actions on such a large scale were clearly far beyond their expectations.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the City Patrol is in chaos, they didn't expect the Night Mask to attack during the day. "The messenger had blood on his face, several stab wounds and arrow wounds, burn marks, and tattered armor, apparently killed.

Penny was not surprised by this, because of the need to fight pirates, Simon's regular army still had a certain combat effectiveness - especially the navy, but most of these stationed on land were only garrisons for security work, and there were even many double agents who were bought by the Night Mask, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

And according to common sense, it is indeed unlikely that the bands will carry out large-scale operations during the day, of course, that refers to theft or robbery, and now, the Night Mask is rebelling, which is obviously an abnormal behavior and cannot be inferred by common sense.

"Those guys gathered all the men of the Night Mask on the Dragon Coast, I don't know when they gathered near the West Gate City, plus a group of mercenaries who don't know where to get them, a total of more than a thousand people inside and outside the city launched an attack, no one reacted, now Lord Salavar, Lord Goodall's home has been breached, they have occupied the big market, Lord Eldo led the navy from the direction of the harbor to the council hall, and held half of the city......"

When he heard that his hometown had been breached, Butters Goodale shook his legs and nearly fell.

Penny frowned secretly when he heard this, no wonder Albach has no other action in the face of the chaos of Simon these days except for a few assassinations, it turns out that he is preparing for a general attack, the number of more than a thousand people is basically all the manpower of the Night Mask, according to the composition of the thieves and mercenaries, even if only half of them can fight, it is not something that the waste wood guards in Ximen City can stop, and the private armies of the nobles are probably powerless in the face of so many manpower, no wonder the battle situation is so tragic.

However, the information that follows strikes Penny as a little strange.

"You mean the navy is holding them back?" the wizard frowned, "The thieves haven't retreated yet?"

All the nobles immediately cheered up.

This is a very noteworthy problem, with the combat effectiveness of the bandit group, I am afraid it is difficult to take advantage of the Ximen navy, since the real armament of the Ximen has reacted, if these bandit groups are wise enough, they should quickly withdraw and wait for another opportunity, instead of fighting a war of attrition.

Could it be that the Night Lord is really ready to give up the Night Mask?

If it is the vampire and the Night Mask to cooperate to attack, plus the powerful power of Auerbuck and those vampire descendants, the navy has absolutely no ability to compete with it, you know, the combat effectiveness of the Night Mask during the day and the Night Mask of the night are not on the same level, and the success of the raid during the day is just a surprise advantage, and the strength of Auerbuck and his group of descendants, with the minions of the Night Mask, will undoubtedly increase the combat effectiveness exponentially.

This was well known to all the nobles present, but it was obviously impossible for vampires to strike during the day, so the attack was completely strange.

It's as if the Night King released the Night Mask to die.

Just detaining the dependents of a few families is probably not enough to complete the control of Simon City - it is impossible to control Simon by violence alone, and it is estimated that the purpose of the Vampire King is only to complete a shuffle.

Salaval and Goodall's faces were ugly, but their expressions were still calm, and they were obviously not the kind of people who would be shaken by such a thing.

"In any case, we should go back to the council hall and fight side by side with the Simons. Bishop Qajar took a step forward with a serious expression: "We must repel the Night Mask, as long as we win this battle, the vampire king's minions in the world will be completely removed." ”

Many of the nobles had a hesitant look on their faces, which made the bishop a little displeased, but he still spoke to boost morale: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the time for a decisive battle, the Night King's actions are not wise, our chances are very high, does anyone want to sit here and enjoy the results of victory?"

After a moment of hesitation, the nobles nodded in obedience despite their hesitation.

"If we go back by land, they're going to stop us halfway. Selion walked up: "Lord Bishop, I remember that the temple area is north of the council hall, it should not have been attacked yet, can we use a spell to teleport over?"

"Of course, I have the coordinates, and I also have the teleportation scroll. Bishop Qajar said, pulling out a few scrolls and distributing them to those who could use them, and the wizard frowned, for from the glances between Bishop Qajar and Selien, he sensed as if the Lord had sensed something.

At least this kind of behavior of distributing magic scrolls in the mage tower in front of a high-level magician, although the average nobleman can't see anything, but the wizard knows that this means distrust, the mage tower is already equipped with a large teleportation device, if you want to teleport according to the coordinates, where can you use the scroll?

This kind of behavior is undoubtedly afraid that the wizard will play a ghost in the teleportation spell.

Of course, Celion knew that Penny would not be stupid enough to kill the nobles with teleportation, but he was obviously afraid that the wizard would manipulate the teleportation and kill certain people...... Like himself...... The unexpected consequences of teleportation can be easily fatal...... The wizard didn't reveal it either, making it so difficult to keep these things composed, so that the nobles who immediately caught something from these small details left with teleportation, but fell into hesitation.

"Penny, we should go check it out too. Vika frowned, "I feel like this is a critical moment. ”

The wizard nodded, but still didn't immediately prepare for the teleportation.

For a very simple reason, he didn't believe that Simon's Night Lord was really such a generous guy that he would use the entire Night Mask that he had painstakingly managed to carry out such a senseless suicide attack?

There must be oddities in it.

Therefore, more preparation is required.

He said hello to Vika and entered the arsenal of magical equipment, and began to review the results of his painstaking efforts to deal with the Night King these days, and when he finished picking up his equipment, he went to the basement, only to see two other women standing there.

"Why are you here?"

The wizard asks Lanny, who is wielding a greatsword, and can see the faint glow of her clothes.

"Don't put garlic in it. Hearing the wizard's inquiry, she smiled and waved her sword, "Are you thinking that I don't exist, or do you want my sword to rust? ”

"Your Excellency......" Nefis reached out to shake the hem of the wizard's robe with tears in her eyes, Penny shook her head, lifted her neck and slapped her ass, threw her back up the stairs, and led Lanny into the basement to join Vika.

Nephies pouted as she stared in the direction the wizard had disappeared, and after a few moments, she grimaced again and ran to the middle level of the Mage Tower, where she remembered there was also a teleportation device.
