The magnificent walls of Ghent City were empty. There were no patrolling soldiers, no flags with a clear stance. The Norman family and the Tudor family had been fighting openly and covertly for more than 80 years. Now, everyone was carefully maintaining a temporary peace.
Ghent City covered a huge area. There was once a rumor that if someone ran through Ghent City on horseback, they wouldn't be able to get out of the eastern district in seven days.
This was no doubt an exaggeration, but this city had an unparalleled position in the hearts of the people of the Sorcerer Nation.
It represented dreams, ambition, prosperity … There was even a unique sewer system in the Sorcerer Nation. The sewer channel was as wide as an air-raid shelter. This allowed Ghent City to never have to worry about summer storms, and it also made the city look a lot cleaner.
In the hearts of the people, it seemed that all beautiful words fit the people's definition of Ghent City. However, only those who had lived in Ghent City understood that there was nothing special about this place.
The huge sewer system gave birth to a large number of desperadoes who relied on it to survive. It was the largest underground casino in the entire Sorcerer Nation. Someone once shouted in the sewers that even if a Sorcerer entered, they would not be able to return.
As for the truth of this statement, there was no way to verify it.
In Ghent City, the Norman Family and the Tudor Family each occupied half of the city. The Norman Family was in the east, and the Tudor Family was in the west.
Under normal circumstances, unless it was absolutely necessary, the wizards of these two families would not simply walk around the other's territory.
At this moment, in the huge manor in the northern part of the eastern district, there were hundreds of servants and servants suddenly bustling about in the manor, even though it was daybreak.
The wizards woke up after being summoned by the master of the family. They came to a huge banquet hall in their sleeping robes and discussed a piece of information that the master of the family had just shared with them.
The information was sent through a mirror, so it was extremely important.
The servants and servants were all silent, as if they could not hear the wizards' discussion. If one wanted to make a living in a family like this, one had to learn how to be deaf and mute.
Sorcerer families looked glamorous, and the Sorcerers in the family were all graceful. However, only the servants in the family knew that most of these Sorcerers had strange hobbies. Some of these hobbies were especially bloody and cruel.
In the banquet hall, words related to "Winston City", "Berkley Family", and "Tudor Family" kept floating around.
The wizards were holding transparent crystal glasses and sipping wine that was as red as blood.
Amidst the clamor, a male servant carried the used wine glasses to the kitchen. These were to be sent to the back to be cleaned.
He walked through the long corridor. The complicated window lattices in the corridor were inlaid with colored glass. Dawn had already passed, and the faint morning light outside shone through the colorful windows, making it seem particularly mysterious and strange.
Other servants came up to him. He smiled and nodded at them, then brushed past them.
Arriving at the kitchen, the male servant placed the used cup into the sink that was hollowed out by a stone. Then, he quietly dipped his finger into the wine and wrote something on a dry rag.
Soon, he put the rag in his pocket and turned to leave. When he passed by a chef, he inadvertently stuffed the rag into his trouser pocket.
Everything proceeded in silence. The chef's expression did not change in the slightest.
After the male servant left, the chef left the huge kitchen as if he wanted to go to the toilet. He hid in the toilet and unfolded the rag, only to see the words written on it: "Winston City has collapsed. The Young Marshal has appeared. Armor, train."
The sentence was no more than twenty words, but it contained enough useful information.
…
A huge gap was exposed to everyone's sight at the originally dilapidated wall of Winston City.
Inside the broken wall, the inferior mud and straw were particularly eye-catching, as if they were silently mocking the authority of the Winston family.
The person responsible for building this section of the wall was called Daniel, the 73rd son of the head of the Winston family.
Now, this Daniel had obviously been included in the list of martyrs. In a few days, there would be a special prayer service for them at the entrance of Winston Cathedral.
Although the wizards themselves knew very well that the prayers were useless, the people firmly believed that these people could reach the Kingdom of God after praying.
Tonight, 62 wizards of the Winston family died, including Grand Wizard Devonshire and Grand Wizard Abel.
This was an unprecedented disaster for the Winston family.
The loss of 61 Eyes of Truth was the most important thing. Among the dead, other than Abel's red Eye of Truth, even Devonshire's red Eye of Truth was lost!
The head of the Winston family did not sleep at all. Throughout the whole process, he angrily urged the Hymn Knight Squad to track down the murderer and find all the clues.
At dawn, the Hymn Knight Squad finally found some clues. Someone in the northern village saw the steel monster escaping to the north. It seemed to be escaping to Ghent City, but the strange thing was that only one steel monster was seen. The other was nowhere to be found.
This so-called steel monster was the steam train.
Everyone knew that it was not a living thing, but they did not know how to describe it, so they just called it a steel monster.
As for how this steel monster came to be, at first, the head of the Winston family thought that it was driven by someone from the Middle Earth. Later, he realized that the enemy could be summoned and dispersed at will. He began to wonder if this was a new witchcraft that had just been discovered by some family.
Of course, none of this could be confirmed.
At noon, the wizard stationed in the northern town suddenly sent back a message through witchcraft. A suspicious person had suddenly entered the territory of the Winston family in the past two days. According to the informant, this person was suspected to be Kyle Jefferson William Chris Tudor of the Tudor family. He also had dozens of followers with him, and one of them should be the famous gladiator Garl five years ago.
When the head of the Winston family heard this news, he was shocked. This person was the third most powerful person in the Tudor family, and he was a famous great wizard more than 20 years ago.
He suddenly came to the Winston family's territory two or three days after the incident. Was it a coincidence?
No, it was definitely not a coincidence. This person was the mastermind behind this farce, and the controller of the steel monster had probably gone north to meet up with this great wizard Kyle.
After all, a core member of the Tudor family like Kyle would not quietly leave Ghent City if there was nothing important!
The head of the Winston family trembled with anger. "The Tudor family has gone too far. Report this to the Berkley family. The northern expedition must be brought forward. I want to sacrifice this person's head to the flag!"
At this moment, the great wizard Kyle, who wanted to personally punish Mego and Ren Xiaosu, did not seem to know that he had caused a great deal of hatred through the air.
The initiator, Ren Xiaosu, had just woken up from his room in the courier station and was thinking about what he should eat for lunch.
