Chapter 022 City of Destruction
"Clemens F. Metternich?"
Bazel frowned slightly when he heard the black-robed man's name sounding unfamiliar.
But obviously, now is not the time to find out where this person came from.
At this moment, he seemed to have discovered something and sniffed fiercely.
In an instant, the calmness on Bazel's face disappeared, revealing an extremely disgusted look, and said coldly: "Damn it!!! I also smell the smell of dirty vampires!!!"
When the silver wolf smelled the blood, its hair exploded and scattered like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and a low animal roar came from its throat.
After a pause, he stared at the members of the Omar royal family with his big copper bell eyes, and taunted them again and again: "Why, have you two great empires of Omar and Sid joined forces to deal with me?"
The fact that he felt such a strong threat meant that the vampire who came must be of high bloodline, at least a "Prince" level vampire!
To the werewolves...if these people from the Omar royal family in front of them were just enemies with different positions, then those filthy vampires were their sworn enemies that they had been fighting for thousands of years, and they would not stop until one of them died!
In such a huge Theed Empire, how many prince-level vampires are there?
It is puzzling that a blood prince would lower his status and ambush himself on the territory of the Omar Empire.
The Omar royal family and the Sid royal family have been enemies for hundreds of years. Why would they suddenly join forces?
Regardless of his status as one of the "Ten Legendary Demon Hunters" or the "Leader of the White Wolf Phantom Thieves", he was not worthy of the two empires joining forces...
At this moment, countless conspiracies emerged in Basel's mind, but they all seemed a little unbelievable.
But the strange thing is,
Everyone on the Omar Empire side seemed to turn a deaf ear.
No one responded to what Basel had just said. It was as if vampires didn't exist at all.
…
Standing on the second floor of the tavern with wind blowing from all sides, Ryan had a look of despair on his face and was forced to witness the entire development of this "big event".
He was trembling and unable to move due to the momentum of the confrontation between a group of big men.
Anyone present here could kill him, a small shrimp who had just awakened, with just one finger.
He wanted to slip away, but his feet wouldn't obey him.
It felt like being an ant under the feet of a group of elephants...if you move a little, you will be crushed to pieces!
"I'm so fucking..."
Ryan really couldn't complain anymore.
More than a year of hellish imprisonment had made him fed up with the harsh reality.
After a year of painstaking efforts to pretend to be a pig, he finally managed to escape the control of the "Weasel Phantom Thieves" and the schemes of that sinister old bastard Pisis...
Now, we have just escaped from the dragon's den and entered the tiger's den?
Is it possible for a small fry like him to get involved in this level of combat conflict?
…
On the other hand, the Grand Knight Commander Rhine, wearing heavy armor, walked into the ruins.
He helped the seriously injured Princess Ymir up and said in an apologetic tone: "Princess, please leave here first. Metternich has conveyed the secret order of His Majesty, and I can only execute it..."
Originally, he was the only one who knew the purpose of Princess Ymir's risky visit to the "Black Market Fair", and he also knew how much effort the princess had put into this matter.
But under the emperor's order, he now had to participate in the siege and killing of Basel, and the careful plan of Her Royal Highness the Princess was destroyed.
This feeling of betrayal made him feel guilty.
Ymir shook her head and stopped Rhine from continuing.
How could she not understand the situation before her...the queen in the palace was getting impatient.
Ymir didn't stay any longer, nor did she give any explanation. She covered the wound on her chest that was smashed by the wolf's claws, and turned away decisively.
Only Rhine, who was closest to her, noticed the momentary sadness in her eyes.
…
On the other hand, the entire trade fair was in an uproar.
"Damn it! The guys from the Omar royal family are here to attack us! Brothers, grab your weapons and help me kill those bastards!"
"I want to see which blind fellow dares to plot against our leader!"
"Too arrogant. We must not let those guys leave alive."
"Pressure the boilers in the mechanical city, prepare the artillery..."
“…”
There was a lot of commotion at the Hyacinth Tavern. Soon, countless thieves gathered around, holding weapons and cursing.
The phantom thieves usually rob houses and have strong reaction in battle.
As a powerful enemy attacked, the steel castles began to move with a "click" and "click" sound, and cannons were aimed towards the Hyacinth Tavern.
Especially in the three "War Elephant Class" mechanical cities, there are hundreds of cannons for siege. This kind of covering artillery fire can crush the top extraordinary people to pieces.
It was as if the situation had suddenly turned around.
Basel, who was just besieged by several masters, suddenly became the one with more people and more power.
If we only rely on these few people from the Omar royal family in front of us, even if [Yan Mo] Heimos, who is also one of the "Ten Legendary Demon Hunters", is here...
There will definitely be no return today!
…
At the entrance of Hyacinth Tavern, the confrontation continued.
The side with fewer people was as steady as a rock, and Basel's side with more people was not in a hurry to take action.
In addition to the leader Bazel, the White Wolf Phantom Thieves had many other masters of various ranks. Even if their extraordinary skills were not as exaggerated and terrifying as those of the Omar royal family in front of them, at least they were sure to kill them with the human wave tactics.
But for some reason, at this moment, looking at his colleagues and brothers who were rushing over, Basel not only did not feel at ease, but his heart became more and more... uneasy.
Werewolves have an innate ability to sense danger in their blood.
As time went by, he suddenly felt a growing sense of crisis.
"What's going on? Where do these guys get their confidence from..."
Basel stared at the calm enemies in front of him, feeling confused.
Originally, he thought that his old rival [Yan Mo] Hemos would be the biggest threat, but for some reason, that little-known aide attracted his attention from time to time.
It was as if... that guy had some kind of magical power, making people feel that he... was like a demon from the abyss, cold and deadly!
…
"Finally saved..."
The Phantom Thief was making more and more noise, but on the other hand, Ryan felt that his life was finally saved.
More and more thieves gathered around, and the tense atmosphere among the big bosses in the tavern was broken by the noisy noise.
More and more people gathered, getting closer and closer, so naturally no one cared that a small shrimp had quietly slipped away.
Ryan, who listened to the verbal attacks from both sides throughout the whole process, was probably the bystander who knew best that a life-and-death battle would take place here in a moment.
He had no chance to run away just now because he was being stared at by a group of big guys. Now that the opportunity had come, he would not delay and immediately slipped away and blended into the crowd.
Ryan didn't delay at all and jogged all the way, trying to escape from the center of the incident as quickly as possible.
As a small fry, he doesn't care at all about who lives and who dies among the big guys.
He had no interest in finding out what the conspiracy was...
He is very self-aware and cannot bear to watch such excitement...it's life-threatening!
"Everyone, please start later, start later..."
Ryan ran all the way, praying to all the gods in his heart not to let him get dragged into it.
Large-scale wars are like a meat grinder. You are caught in the center of a storm and don’t even know how you died.
But...the accident still happened.
“Bang!”
A sudden artillery explosion sounded, shocking everyone.
Without any warning, a shell flew in from nowhere and hit one of the main mechanical cities of the "White Wolf Regiment".
Then, with a loud bang, a ball of intense fire exploded, and a terrifying large hole was blasted out of the thick armor...
The power is jaw-dropping!
…
"What's going on? Who is firing randomly? Where are they shooting at?"
"No, this power... is it like a super-large cannon?"
"Look, there's a steel monster in the lake!"
"This tonnage... is a Behemoth-class Lord Mechanical City! Oh no, that's the top mechanical city of the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences - 'City of Destruction'!"
“…”
In the blink of an eye, a super steel monster that was dozens of times larger than the "War Elephant-class" mechanical city slowly emerged from the water of Storm Lake with its hideous armor, and a large number of super-large artillery guns with exaggerated calibers lit up at the same time...
The prelude to the war has begun.
