Speaking of which, the destructive power of the Blazing Volcano was undeniable. Under the eruption of the volcano, the entire town immediately turned into nothingness. Even if the explosives had not been planted beforehand, this outcome would not have changed. However, while it was powerful, it also had various flaws. From the activation of the ability to the formation and eruption of the volcano, it would take about 20 seconds to charge up. Moreover, the gravitational field produced by the Blazing Volcano had a limited effect on powerhouses. For example, Russell could erupt with Origin Energy to offset the effects of the force field, thus leaving the area covered by the volcano before it completely erupted.
Therefore, this ability was useless in a battle between powerhouses, but it had a miraculous effect when used to destroy a formation. The destruction of Mason's small town was the best proof. Allen looked at the blazing flames that appeared in the direction of the town, his heart mixed with joy and worry. Fortunately, there were indeed explosives in the town. Now that the Blazing Volcano had detonated and destroyed them, it would be much more convenient for the army to pass through tomorrow. On the other hand, he was worried that the number of soldiers in the town was much less than he had expected. Not to mention Mason's ambushing army, even the cavalry that had retreated during the day was not in the town.
The town's garrison was only a limited infantry unit.
It seemed that there would be a fierce battle tomorrow, Allen thought.
In the castle that had been renamed Raging Flames Castle, Mason stood on the only balcony, his hands gripping the railing tightly. The wind brought sparks that dyed his long black hair red, and the light from the burning town made Mason's face even redder. Jian Jue's expression was deep and silent.
Someone behind him said, "It's only been a while, but that brat has actually improved so much. It's really rare."
Mason shifted his gaze and looked at Midian. The Dusk Prayer was dressed casually. His silver hair was loose, and his eyes reflected the town that had turned into a sea of fire. Mason said indifferently, "You've already discovered him?"
"He didn't hide. It was so obvious. I'm not blind. Why didn't I notice?" Midian asked.
Mason laughed. "You've already discovered him, but you still allowed him to destroy that town. Midian, you are my good friend. "
"Don't misunderstand, I'm staying here because of her. If you're killed, I can take her away with me. As for everything here, that town, and even you. Honestly, what do you have to do with me? "Midian said in a deep voice.
"But you know why I'm doing all this!"
"Of course I know, but I don't think that the only way to save her is to betray the Empire. Of course, this is the path that you have chosen, and I cannot stop you. You can also go ahead and try. If you can't walk this path, don't worry, there's still me. I will save her, "Midian said calmly.
At this moment, the butler walked into the balcony. When he saw the two men, he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Midian turned around, his silver hair reflecting the light of the fire, and left. Mason sighed and asked, "What is it?"
"Earl Russell has returned. He's in the hall."
"Got it."
The hall of the castle's main building was brightly lit. Polished armors were placed all around, and the atmosphere in the hall was solemn. Even an arrogant person like Russell did not dare to speak at this moment. He only stood silently at the side. Not long after, he heard footsteps and saw Mason striding into the hall. Luo Su immediately knelt down and shouted, "Milord, please punish me. Luo Su was incompetent and lost the town."
"You do deserve to be punished!" Mason said softly.
But this light sentence was as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on Luo Su to the point that he didn't dare to breathe loudly. He had only said it out of courtesy, but he did not think that Mason really had the intention of punishing him. Now that he heard Mason say this, Russell obediently shut up, lest he said more wrong things.
Mason sat on the only chair in the hall. He rested his chin on one hand and looked at the earl. Although Russell did not raise his head, he could feel Mason's sharp gaze falling on him. He could not help but sweat profusely. Even with his strength, he felt that he could not bear the pressure of Mason's gaze. It was only when Russell's shoulders trembled that Mason retracted his gaze. He raised his hand and said, "Get up."
Russell was relieved and only dared to stand up after thanking him. Mason glanced at him, intentionally or unintentionally. "Do you know why I want to punish you?"
The earl stammered for a long time, and could only bite the bullet and say, "Milord, please explain."
"Because the town was destroyed, and none of the soldiers in the town survived. But you are still standing here alive. Tell me, Russell, did you try to stop the enemy from destroying our town? "
Russell opened his mouth, but he could not say anything. He said dejectedly, "I am willing to accept any punishment, milord."
"You finally understand. You gave up your position and soldiers without even trying. Russell, how are you any different from a deserter? I will give you a chance now. Tomorrow, you will be the vanguard. I want you to get rid of at least one of the enemy's experts. Otherwise, don't come back. " Mason raised his eyebrows. "You should know what kind of expert it is. Don't try to brush me off."
Russell nodded his head vigorously. "I understand, milord!"
Mason waved his hand, and Russell retreated out of the hall. Mason was the only one left in the large space. Mason's lips curled up. "Woodrick, don't think that you can win this battle like this. I've only lost a town, but you're going to bury all of your men here … "
He frowned slightly. "Allen … Millahan broke through the city with a single slash, and he showed such a move tonight. It seems that I have to personally kill this Count if I have the chance tomorrow. The empire already has a Ten Saints, Tangerio. Don't join in the fun here, right? "
At dawn, the war drums sounded again.
In the camp of the punitive army, the Knight of the Giant Dragon Army advanced in formation. Behind them were the mixed troops of the other legions. In addition, there were all kinds of siege equipment. The soldiers and horses left the camp behind the troops. Allen still brought the assault team from yesterday. Their goal was still to kill the enemy experts on the battlefield. As for Mason, Woodrick and Belle Kai were in charge. However, he did not know if Mason would be able to invite Empress Scorpion Becatello or the Twilight Prayer Midian this time.
Empress Scorpion Allen had never seen her before, but he had a deep impression of Midian. That day at the old Great Wall, Midian had only played a few of the Twelve Movements of the Dusk, and it had already suppressed Allen. If the twelve movements were played together, Allen could no longer imagine the scene. Even though his slash that broke through Millahan was extremely close to the realm of the Ten Saints, Allen knew that there was still an insurmountable gap between him and the Ten Saints.
At least for now, he could not cross it.
