What else was there to discuss at this juncture? Discuss how to deal with the Tower of Dusk? What a joke, the Tower of Dusk has a Sanctuary powerhouse. Even if the magic tides increased the strength of the various forces, they would definitely die if they were to go against a Sanctuary powerhouse!
After the chubby mage took the lead, the others immediately stood up and bade farewell, all of them wanting to return to their own territories as soon as possible. Even if they were to die, they had to settle down their families first. In fact, some of them even thought of disbanding their forces immediately after returning to avoid the Tower of Dusk's revenge.
The noisy gathering hall fell silent in the blink of an eye, and only Anlork and the rest of the Black Sun Brothers Union, as well as Engory, who had lost everything and had nowhere to go, were left in the hall.
"Damn it, don't these guys know that we can only contend with the Tower of Dusk by uniting our forces!?" Anlork was so furious that he smashed the table into pieces, but the fear in the depths of his eyes could not be concealed.
Despite what he said, even if they were to join forces, would they really be able to contend with the Tower of Dusk? In fact, he didn't believe it himself either. The Tower of Dusk had a Sanctuary powerhouse, and those below the Sanctuary-realm were insignificant. Besides, the Tower of Dusk had also obtained the Immortal King's Sky Castle this time, which was a war weapon that the High Elves had used to rule Anril.
Anlork suppressed the fear in his heart, turned his head to look at the side, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't Master Tannu come over? Didn't any of you inform him of today's meeting?"
"President, we already went to inform him yesterday, but when we went over this morning, Master Tannu was no longer there," one of Anlork's subordinates said to Anlork cautiously.
"What!?"
Hearing his subordinate's answer, Anlork and the other leaders of the Black Sun Brothers Union couldn't help but exclaim in shock too. However, they soon understood that Master Tannu must have slipped away because he saw that the situation was getting out of hand. At the thought of this, their faces turned extremely sullen, because only a few of them knew that the reason they were dealing with the Tower of Dusk this time was because they had listened to Master Tannu's advice.
However, just as Anlork and the others were filled with indignation, the people who had just left in a hurry seemed to have heard Anlork's summon, and all of them ran back.
Seeing this scene, Anlork and the others couldn't help but be a little surprised. They didn't believe that these people had returned to fight against the Tower of Dusk together. Hence, they asked in an unfriendly tone, "Aren't you going back to prepare for your funeral? Why are you back?"
"Damn it, Anlork, do you think I wanted to come back? Tell me, have you secretly bowed to the Tower of Dusk and betrayed us!? "the leader of a force in the crowd berated Anlork and the others in exasperation. His words immediately caused the others to respond, and all of them looked at Anlork and the others fiercely.
"What do you mean?" Anlork was a little lost, but he was more furious. He was the boss of the Black Sun Brotherhood. When had he ever been slandered like this? When had he ever been scolded like this?
If it were any other time, given the strength of the Black Sun Brotherhood, none of the forces present would dare to look at Anlork in the eye. However, they had clearly given up now. Hearing Anlork's stern questioning, those people were not timid at all. Instead, they all had mocking expressions on their faces. "You're the one who did it, and yet you still have the cheek to ask us? Didn't you trick us here for the sake of claiming credit from the Tower of Dusk!? "
"You guys, speak clearly!" Anlork was so infuriated that he was trembling all over. If it weren't for the fact that his two brothers were holding him back, he would have probably ordered them to kill all of them.
"Stop acting, the people of the Tower of Dusk are just outside. You've already achieved your goal, so why are you still teasing us?" The chubby mage who was the first to leave sat on a chair and looked at the top of his head, clearly ready to accept his fate and wait for death.
"The people of the Tower of Dusk!" Hearing the words of those people, Anlork suddenly felt his vision darken, and he couldn't help but take two steps back. He knocked over the chair behind him without realizing it.
At this moment, a group of mages from the Tower of Dusk surrounded a few people outside the door of the gathering hall. They had already blocked the door tightly. When the people in the hall saw that the people of the Tower of Dusk had arrived, they finally stopped denouncing Anlork, and looked outside the door while trembling, as if they were waiting for the Tower of Dusk to make the final judgment.
The leader of the Tower of Dusk's team was none other than Alan, the leader of the mages who had disappeared with Lin Li for three years. He was accompanied by Lin Li's two Undead servants, Ujfalusi and Norfeller, and followed by 100 level-18 and level-19 Archmages. Those Archmages were not the ones who had followed Lin Li to explore the Sky Castle, but the 20 or 30 of them were enough to make the entire team seem imposing.
"You guys …" Anlork pointed at Alan and the others, but his words were stuck in his throat. They were there to settle scores, so what else could he question?
Alan didn't even look at Anlork and the others, and simply extended his hand, after which a mage beside him immediately handed a scroll to him. Next, he unfolded the scroll with both hands and slowly scanned the scroll. He then said coldly, "Engory, the leader of the Blood Crow Bandits; Anlork, the president of the Black Sun Brotherhood; Genawen, Robert, and Jordan; Carlo, the leader of the Silver Sword Mercenary Corps; York, the leader of the Red River Mercenary Corps …"
In the beginning, the people in the hall didn't quite understand what the people of the Tower of Dusk meant by reading out those names. However, as the names were read out one after another, the people gradually found a pattern, and that was that those people's forces had once directly used force against the Tower of Dusk.
The Tower of Dusk had always been particular about solving business problems through business. Regardless of how despicable their opponents were, the Tower of Dusk would always retaliate with commercial means. Otherwise, it wouldn't be difficult for Lin Li, a Sanctuary powerhouse, to wipe out all the forces of the Breezy Plains.
Lin Li's intention in setting that principle was that he hoped that the Tower of Dusk could grow healthily in terms of business, and not rely on brute force to get rid of all obstacles. However, if anyone were to use non-commercial means to deal with the Tower of Dusk, they would have to suffer the harshest blow from the Tower of Dusk.
This time, Lin Li left for three years, so much so that those forces had forgotten the rules of the Tower of Dusk. Forces like the Black Sun Brotherhood and the Blood Crow Bandits couldn't possibly come up with any ingenious commercial means. Hence, it was naturally the simplest and most direct way to use force. Anyway, in their opinion, the Tower of Dusk didn't have the power to maintain the rules without Lin Li, a Sanctuary powerhouse. Hence, they could do whatever they wanted to them.
After knowing what Alan meant by reading out the names, the leaders of the various forces in the hall all had different expressions on their faces. Those whose names were read out were naturally ashen, while those whose names were not read out were secretly thankful for their luck. However, they were still worried. After all, they had participated in suppressing the Tower of Dusk. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would probably have to pay a huge price for compensation.
Finally, Alan closed the scroll in his hand, and handed it to the mage beside him while looking at the people in the hall coldly. "Kill!"
The word "kill" was like a gust of chilly wind that blew into the hall, causing the temperature in the hall to plummet to the extreme. The hall immediately became extremely noisy, and some people were cursing loudly, while others were looking for a way to escape. Some even looked ferocious and wanted to fight with their lives on the line.
Since the people in the hall could become the leaders of the various forces, they naturally had some abilities. Almost all of them were Legendary powerhouses, especially the few Legendary-mages. They might have been at level-21 or level-22 in the past, but after experiencing the magic tides, they all had level-23 or level-24 strength.
"What are you panicking for? We have so many Legendary powerhouses. Are we just going to let them kill us!?"
"Let's fight it out with them. Even if we die, we have to make them pay the price!"
These people who ruled over a region were not kind people to begin with. When Alan said the word 'kill', it immediately stirred up the ferocity in their hearts. Since they were going to die anyway, why not take a gamble and drag a few of them down with them? Besides, in their opinion, there was still a chance of survival in the current situation. After all, they had more than 10 Legendary powerhouses on their side. Although the Tower of Dusk seemed to have the advantage in numbers, there were only three Legendary powerhouses.
Hence, in their opinion, as long as they could escape this time, they would immediately pack up and leave the Breezy Plains. By then, even the Sanctuary powerhouse of the Tower of Dusk would not be able to find them in such a huge world.
Of course, those who were called out were the ones who had to fight for their lives. The remaining few who were not called out had long hidden in the corners of the hall. To them, it was fine as long as they could survive. Even if they had to pay the price and go bankrupt in the end, they would definitely be able to make a comeback with their own strength.
Generally speaking, Alan was actually a little unwise. He could have waited for everyone to disperse before sending people to surround and kill them separately. That would have been the real foolproof method. However, he had triggered their ferocity as soon as he appeared, and would definitely force them to do something desperate. That would instead increase the difficulty of the mission.
However, it was not because Alan was inconsiderate, because the Tower of Dusk did not just want to take revenge this time. They also wanted to establish their dominance in the Breezy Plains and tell all the forces in the Breezy Plains that the master of the Tower of Dusk had returned.
Lin Li had only left for three years, but the forces in the Breezy Plains had already begun to forget the majesty of the Sanctuary powerhouse. That could only mean that Lin Li had not given them enough deterrence previously.
If it were the Supreme Council, there would be rumors in Anril that the three arbitrators were not around. After all, the three arbitrators rarely appeared in front of the world. However, why didn't any force dare to test whether it was true or not? In the past 1,300 years, the Supreme Council had accumulated so much power that no one dared to try at all. Even if the three arbitrators did not appear for a hundred years, the nobodies would not dare to touch the Supreme Council.
The Tower of Dusk had only been established for a short period of time, and they did not have that much time to manage such things. Hence, they had to resort to ruthless means. They had to use the blood and lives of their enemies to establish the majesty of the Tower of Dusk so that no one would dare to have any thoughts about the Tower of Dusk.
Although there were only three Legendary powerhouses in the Tower of Dusk, including Alan, Ujfalusi and Norfeller were powerhouses who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm, and had experienced countless life-and-death battles to hone their skills. How could their true strength be compared to that of the nouveau riche who had suddenly increased their power?
Besides, there were also 100 Archmages behind them. With the help of the Net Array, they even had the power to fight against Legendary powerhouses who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm. They were also a force that could not be ignored. In fact, even without Ujfalusi and Norfeller, the power of the 100 Archmages would definitely be enough to let them escape easily even if they could not kill the people opposite them.
Just as the people in the hall were clamoring to fight to the death, Norfeller's figure had already disappeared from where he was, and he turned into a black bolt of lightning that darted into the hall. Norfeller held the Heaven's Wrath dagger in a reverse grip, and the dagger ignited with a blood-red glow under the infusion of power. Before those people could react, they saw two heads flying into the air, and blood spurted high into the air like a fountain, turning into a rain of blood that rained down.
Seeing that two of their people had been beheaded as soon as they appeared, the people in the hall finally reacted. Dense Combat Energy erupted from the Sword Sage's body, and the Legendary-mages also quickly put up Magical Elemental Shields. The two Legendary-level Assassins also quietly disappeared into the shadows.
"Master Ujfalusi, don't let them escape," Alan said respectfully to Ujfalusi who was beside him. Alan said to Ujfalusi respectfully. Although he was Lin Li's servant, few people in the Tower of Dusk dared to treat them as servants.
"Hehe, don't worry, I guarantee that none of them will escape," Ujfalusi said with a sinister smile. Ujfalusi laughed sinisterly, and then raised the Skeletal Staff in his hand. As the gemstone on the top of the staff emitted a ray of light, a large number of skeletons suddenly surged out of the gathering hall, wrapping the entire building layer by layer.
It was just a Skeletal Prison in Necromagic, and its function was to temporarily restrict the enemy's movements. Usually, there would be more than 10 skeletal pillars to trap people inside.
