D 'Edarion stood on the dock with two strips of cloth stuffed into his nose. He looked out of the harbor with a stern expression.
There was no wind tonight, but the sea was not calm. It was as if it was boiling. Bubbles kept rising from the bottom of the sea.
"Wow, it seems like we have quite a lot of guests tonight," D 'Edarion said.
Due to the monster hordes erupting all over the place, there were no other troops stationed in Blue Bay aside from a small patrol team. Moreover, the time between the two sides receiving news of the monster hordes and meeting up with each other was too short. It was already too late to mobilize troops from nearby areas.
Fortunately, D 'Edarion had brought more than 40 people with him to Azure Bay. Almost all of them were advanced Magicians. Although none of them were Tier 8 or Tier 9, they were still a force to be reckoned with. With the help of the Magician's Association, D' Edarion was able to gather more than a hundred Magicians in less than half a magic hour.
The Magician's Association had also sent people to the town to recruit strong men. Due to the incident in Hastings, a large number of adventurers and bounty hunters had swarmed into Azure Bay. These people were not well-disciplined, but they were strong in individual combat. If used well, they would be able to achieve good results.
The biggest problem now was that they had no idea how many monsters there were in the sea.
"Have you sent the message?" D 'Edarion asked a bespectacled female Magician beside him. The female Magician was a teacher in charge of communication at the Royal College of Magic and Magic. After the war began, she had accepted the Magician's Association's call and rushed to the frontline. She had been in charge of the Association's communication during wartime.
The female Magician nodded. "We're in luck. The Little Beaver is charging in Eirinn City. It is estimated that it will arrive in two magic hours. However, Azure Bay is full of civilians. It is difficult to deploy the floating cannons."
D 'Edarion took out the Legendary staff, Moon Chant. This was the weapon of the former Magician, Da Vinci. The old man had given it to his successor in his will. This was a tradition in the Magician world. Although a staff was a Magician's most important companion, few Magicians would bring it with them to their graves. Compared to possessing it forever, they would rather see their old companion continue to be active on the battlefield and protect mankind.
"Try to block them on the beach." Just as D 'Addarion issued the order, monsters emerged from the bottom of the water one after another. Their black scales glowed in the night.
There was only one monster in the beginning, but more and more monsters climbed onto the beach. Soon, the entire beach was filled with them. They were like a black torrent that surged towards Blue Bay.
There was no need for D 'Addarion to open his mouth. All kinds of magic had been poured on the beach. For a time, even the sky was lit up.
Merlin also heard the explosions and roars coming from the direction of the beach. He turned his head and asked the two Wizards beside him, "Yo, they've already started fighting over there. Aren't you going to help?"
The two mages looked at each other, and the older one said, "The president ordered us to send you back to Gudilesi safely. I hope you won't make it difficult for us, senior."
"Hey, don't be so nervous. It's hard to say whether Blue Bay can be defended or not. Even if you want me to stay, I won't. You're lucky. At least you can stay alive if you come with me." Merlin took out a pipe from his coat pocket and put it in his mouth.
The young Wizard blushed. "We didn't run away to save our lives. If it wasn't for President D 'Addarion's order, I would definitely stay and fight those monsters!"
"It's not shameful to run away. If you're dead, what's the use of your blood?" Merlin snorted and lit the tobacco in his pipe.
The older Wizard hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not stop him.
Merlin's magic staff had been confiscated by D 'Attarion. He was now completely unarmed and could not do anything. Just as he said, staying in Azure Bay at this time was very dangerous. Those monsters were originally coming for him. With this guy's character, there was no reason for him to stay and fight to the death.
At this time, the three of them were almost in front of the Magic Association. As long as they turned the corner in front of them, they would be able to see the entrance. However, the next moment, the two mages felt a sharp pain in the back of their neck, and they lost consciousness.
Merlin acted as if he did not see anything. He slowly puffed out a ring of smoke, then turned his head to look at the black figure standing in the shadows.
"What's going on over there?"
"Hastings and his' daughter 'have left the underground. They're now hiding in a residential house in the north of the city, preparing to sneak out of the city gate in the chaos," the black figure replied. His tone was calm. When he didn't speak, he seemed to have merged with the shadows on the ground, making it almost impossible to feel his presence.
Only the top Assassins had such an ability. Whether it was Hastings or D 'Addarion, they obviously did not expect that Merlin, who came to Blue Bay alone, would have an accomplice here.
This was Merlin's real trump card.
"You're quite bold. You've just finished negotiating with me, and you're already making a move. Are you sure that even if you fail, I won't turn against you?" Merlin sneered. "Indeed, only those guys have what I want, but it doesn't mean that I'll let them go. He's right about one thing. In the end, they're just two small characters in charge of passing messages. Even if I kill them, someone else will come and trade with me."
The black figure listened quietly and did not express any opinion.
"Move faster. The people from the Magic Association won't be able to hold on for long. The number of monsters this time is not something they can imagine." Merlin said, "This isn't an attack, but an invasion. The Abyssal Cracks in the Morning Continent are just small skirmishes. The real danger is in the Narrow Sea. In the deepest part of the unreachable oceanic trench, there's a giant crack that's more than ten miles wide. That crack has existed for more than hundreds of years. That's the biggest entrance that connects the abyss to our world."
Merlin paused. "We can only move for half a magic hour at most. We must leave Blue Bay within half a magic hour."
The black figure finally spoke. "I haven't seen you for two years, and you've become more talkative. We don't need half a magic hour. As long as we work together, a quarter of an hour will be enough."
Merlin nodded. "Alright. What do you want me to do?!"
"Stay here." The black figure disappeared as soon as he finished speaking.
