Most of the people had already left, but Jedis, Majordomo Gail, Yalina, and the others had not. As true experts, they were not in a good mood because they had tasted the pain that Sunier, Morrisons, and the others often felt.
Han Jin was fighting the enemy in the terrible purgatory, and they could only hide here and wait for news. Whether they were sincerely loyal to Han Jin or temporarily on his side for some reason, they were not afraid of fighting. The problem was that Han Jin always chose battlefields that were beneficial to him, or rather, only to himself. Everyone else, regardless of friend or foe, would be restricted to a certain extent.
From an emotional point of view, they felt that they should do their part, but from a rational point of view, they knew that if they forcibly participated in the battle, it would likely cause trouble for Han Jin. After all, Jedis, Yalina, and the others were top grade and super grade professionals, and this would hurt their self-esteem.
Suddenly, Han Jin's figure came out of the cave wall. Everyone was used to Han Jin's unpredictable movements, and most of them ignored him. Jedis smiled and asked, "How's the underground city?"
"Those who deserved to die are all dead," Han Jin said lightly.
"What about those who didn't deserve to die?" Jedis felt that Han Jin was implying something and hurriedly asked.
"They're also dead."
"You …" Jedis didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and said, "I thought you were the one who didn't deserve to die."
"Raphael, are you okay?" Yalina asked softly. When a person expressed comfort to another person, they should look directly into the other person's eyes, but Yalina's eyes were somewhat erratic, as if she didn't dare to look at Han Jin.
It was really difficult for her. Majordomo Gail had secretly talked to her several times, asking her to find a way to get close to Han Jin, but Yalina had only rejected others and had no experience in this area. Furthermore, Majordomo Gail wanted her to take the initiative to pursue him. This was like asking someone who had never drunk wine to evaluate the taste of wine, or asking someone who had never seen the sea to describe the magnificence of the sea. It was inevitable that she would feel at a loss.
"Of course I'll be fine." Han Jin smiled and said, "Yalina, I've noticed that you've become more and more concerned about me recently. Do you have no confidence in me, or …" Before he could finish his sentence, Han Jin suddenly shut his mouth. Although it was very dark here, he could still see the blush on Yalina's cheeks.
"Sir Raphael, you must have gained a lot, right?" Majordomo Gail coughed and changed the topic.
"Not bad." Han Jin frowned. "But … Alquete is already at the peak of the twelfth level. How could he not have magic crystals?"
"Magic crystals?" Majordomo Gail was stunned, "Sir Raphael, you … don't think that all the strong people on the continent are magical beasts?"
"Giant Dragons have Magic Crystals, so do Abyssal Demons. I think Vampires should have them too."
"That's different." Jeddis shook his head.
"Why?"
"This …" Jeddis smiled bitterly, "Sir Raphael, you've really stumped me. I think only the God of Creation can answer this question."
"Do Angels have Magic Crystals?" Han Jin changed the question.
"I've noticed that you're very interested in Magic Crystals." Jeddis was shocked and asked tentatively, "If Angels also have Magic Crystals, you wouldn't want to … hunt Angels, would you?"
"Of course not, I'm very devout in my belief in the God of Light." Han Jin smiled and said, "I'm just asking."
"Sir Raphael, lying is not a good habit, not to mention that you're telling a lie that even a child wouldn't believe." Jeddis once again showed a dumbfounded expression. "I've been by your side for a long time, how come I've never felt your devoutness?"
"Devoutness is in the heart, it doesn't mean that you're devout by wearing a believer's robe and praying to the God of Light all day long." Han Jin's words were actually the fallacious logic of the Buddha.
Jeddis was stunned for a long time and couldn't find the right words to refute Han Jin. Of course, regardless of whether he could refute it or not, he would never believe that Han Jin was a devout believer.
"Yalina," Han Jin said.
"Ah?" Yalina was in a daze and didn't know what she was thinking. When she suddenly heard Han Jin call her name, she hurriedly replied loudly.
This time, not only did Majordomo Gail and Jeddis notice that something was wrong, but even Léger, who had been standing on the side and hadn't said a word, also noticed the abnormality and turned his gaze to Yalina.
"Do you still have the Space Magic Crystal I gave you last time?"
"Yes."
"Give it to me first." Han Jin stretched out his hand.
Yalina didn't say anything and took out the Space Magic Crystal from her Space Ring and placed it in Han Jin's palm.
"Why don't you ask me what I'm going to do?" Han Jin smiled. "I remember that you were very, very happy when I gave this Magic Crystal to you. Now that I'm taking it back … Are you willing to part with it?"
"What's there to be reluctant about?" Yalina whispered. "And I know that it's far more meaningful for you to use these Magic Crystals than what I want to do."
"You really trust me." Han Jin paused and said slowly, "I want to use these seven Space Magic Crystals to set up a large magic array. Don't worry, it'll surprise you."
"Really?" When it came to magic, Yalina's expression became much more natural.
"Of course it's true."
"Will it be more powerful than the magic array you set up in the Tarasha Mountains?"
"I don't know." Han Jin pondered for a moment. "However, what I'm going to do this time is to challenge my limits. It may succeed, but it may also fail."
"Fail?" Yalina couldn't help but widen her eyes. For ordinary mages, it wasn't unusual for magic to fail. Even Yalina had failed at times, but Han Jin was different! Although she couldn't sense Han Jin's magic power, Yalina knew that Han Jin's power was already above hers. He might even have become a true Superior. Even with Han Jin's strength, he was still so cautious, and there was still a possibility of failure. One could only imagine how amazing the magic array was!
"Yes." Han Jin nodded. "That's why I'm going to wait for a while. Right now … I'm not very confident."
Jeddes and the others fell into silence. They were very interested in the large magic array Han Jin mentioned, but they couldn't ask. On the one hand, it was because of their identities, and on the other hand, it was because this was Han Jin's secret. If Han Jin wanted to tell them, he would naturally tell them. If Han Jin didn't want to tell them, it would be inappropriate for them to get to the bottom of it.
"Alquete is also dead?" After a moment of silence, Jeddes suddenly asked.
"I seem to have said it just now. Those who deserve to die are all dead."
"Understood, I just wanted to confirm it again." Jeddes sighed softly. "After hearing this news, I should be very relaxed and happy, but … I only feel a kind of sadness now."
"The compassion of a believer?" Han Jin smiled.
"No." Jeddes shook his head. "Alquete was, after all, a peak Twelfth Level powerhouse. His strength far exceeded mine, Majordomo Gail's, and Knight Guevara's. For him to be killed by you so silently … I feel like I'm dreaming."
"Soundless? Haha … Alquete's performance was very crazy at that time, you just didn't see it. " Han Jin said softly, "In fact, his strength far exceeded mine. If we fought on a fair battlefield, I wouldn't be his opponent."
"What is fair?" Majordomo Gail said disapprovingly. "How many years did Alquete live? Lord Raphael, how many years have you lived? To be fair to him is to be unfair to you. "
"I'll pass this news on to Knight Guevara. He's been waiting like us," Jeddes said slowly.
"Let's go together." Han Jin looked ahead and whispered, "We still have to go through a difficult time before we can return to the surface …"
"There's one person who will definitely have it harder than us." Majordomo Gail laughed.
* * *
Majordomo Gail was right. There was indeed one person who was anxious, but his expression was always calm. At least no one around him could see his emotional fluctuations.
Dismark never dreamed that Wild Willow City would suddenly turn against him! To be precise, it had been less than ten days since he signed the new treaty with Wild Willow City, but in these ten days, there had been earth-shattering and irreversible changes.
The new treaty stipulated that the three main cities of the Beitman would be owned by Wild Willow City, while Fort Maxine and Black Raven City would be owned by Dismark. In fact, Dismark had already given away the biggest benefits. Although Black Raven City's territory was very large, after years of war, it had become a wasteland. The total population of Black Raven City was not even half of Fort Maxine's. Who would have thought that the elves, who had always kept a low profile, would suddenly become crazy? They were not satisfied and raised their butcher's knife against Dismark.
Fortunately, no matter how smooth the situation was, he never forgot to be cautious. When he went to Fort Maxine and Black Raven City, he only sent out two Swordsman Legions and half a Knight Legion, which was only a quarter of his total military strength. The most important Magic Legion was always in Holy Crown City. Otherwise, he really did not know how he could support the current situation.
Looking at the surging elves outside the city, Dismark's heart was filled with sorrow. He knew that the warriors he had sent out were probably dead. But where did Wild Willow City get so many soldiers?! Did they join forces with other elven tribes?
"My Lord, they're attacking again." Gerald, who was standing in the corner, said in a low voice.
Dismark looked back at his most trusted subordinate and waved his hand. Gerald turned and walked towards the city wall.
"Come on … Come on!" Dismark took a deep breath. He was the best at defensive battles. His Iron Shell Tactic had once caused the arrogant Dragon Knight Guevara to suffer greatly, and had caused the ferocious Zaganide to be defeated several times. Today, he would let the elves have a taste of his power!
A gray-black curve appeared in the distance, slowly approaching the Holy Crown City. It was a battle formation formed by thousands of Treants. Dismark did not dare to be careless. He immediately issued an order, and the Magic Squad began to adjust the muzzles, ready to attack at any time.
Treants were eighth-level holy animals, but in the hands of the elves, they had become experienced soldiers. They could understand the orders of the bugle, and advance or retreat in unison. Although the treants' movement speed was so slow that it made one's hair stand on end, if the group of treants was allowed to approach, the consequences would be unimaginable. What was even more frightening was that even if they were to continuously destroy the treants with their cannons, the elves could still release life magic to revive the treants. Even if the treants were blown into pieces, they would still turn into countless lush and moving plants. They would form a green barrier to block the cannons and protect the warriors behind them.
Dismark had no experience in fighting against a large number of Treants. He was caught unprepared and suffered a great loss. The Holy Crown City was almost captured by the elves. However, Dismark was very experienced in fighting. He immediately adjusted the deployment and finally defeated the elves. However, he also paid a considerable price for this. Two of the nine magic towers in the city had been destroyed by the Silver Pegasus Regiment. At that critical moment, he really did not have the energy to take care of the Silver Pegasus Regiment. He could only concentrate all the forces to attack the Treants and the plants that were getting closer and closer.
As long as three of the nine magic towers were opened at the same time, it would be enough to protect the whole city. Dismark had spent a lot of money to build nine magic towers in the Holy Crown City, in order to provide the city with a continuous defense. Moreover, the Holy Crown City had hundreds of Magic Crystal Cannons. Together with the well-prepared Magic Squad, the whole city could be called an iron wall. However, under the impact of the elves' lives, even such a strong iron wall was forcibly torn open. There was a mistake in the connection, and a small number of Silver Pegasus Regiment warriors poured into the city. It could be seen how crazy and sharp the elves' attack was.
Dismark even had an illusion. Was he fighting against the elves, or was he fighting against Zagunéd?!
With the sound of footsteps, three Knights stepped onto the city wall one after another, slowly walking towards Dismark. The Knight in the middle had white hair, a thin body, and a slight hunchback. His mental state was very sluggish, giving people a feeling of listlessness. However, he was wearing a heavy armor, which made him stagger when he walked, making people worry that the old man would be crushed by the armor at any moment.
The Knight on the left was a middle-aged man, with a slightly dark face. He was tall and sturdy, graceful and dignified. At first glance, people could tell that he was a big shot who gave orders. However, he naturally followed the old man on the left, and the two were always half a step away from each other.
The one on the right was a young man about 26 or 27 years old. His face was very handsome, but there was a layer of frost on his pink face. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, but with his age, his posture was a little pretentious.
These three knights belonged to the three generations of the old, middle-aged, and young. They were all wearing the same heavy armor. Their footsteps were very strange. The moment the old man took a step forward, the middle-aged man also lifted his heel. When the old man's foot was about to touch the ground, it was the young man's turn to take a step forward. Instead of looking at their upper bodies, the footsteps of the three knights formed a very regular and stable wave.
It was very easy to walk at the same time, and it could be done with a little training. The three Knights' footsteps were not in sync at all, but it gave people a sense of disordered beauty. Moreover, with their status, there was no need for them to train. It was just a tacit understanding.
"Lord Adunis, Lord Aude, Lord Amij, I'm sorry. Did those reckless elves disturb you?" Dismark said with a smile.
"Lord Dismark, you're too polite." The old man smiled, then he looked at the group of Tree Demons outside, then looked at the two sides of the city wall. "The situation here doesn't seem optimistic."
"Yes, the elves' attack was too sudden, and I wasn't prepared at all." Dismark sighed. "The three of you are the commanders of the Light Knight Regiment, and your experience in war far surpasses mine. I wonder … Can the three of you give me some advice on what I should do at this time?"
The young Knight named Amij was about to speak, but the old man cut him off first. "I'm really sorry, Lord Dismark, we are just travelers who happened to pass by. We came here from afar just to find Lord Jeddis. Before we find Lord Jeddis, we must remain neutral about everything that happens here. I think you understand what I mean."
"I understand, and I don't understand." Dismark's eyes were slightly sad. "The Holy Crown City is a human city, and the Church of Light is also a human religion. As Holy Knight, can the three of you really watch as the elves ransack a human city?"
The young Knight named Amij showed an angry look and suddenly took a step forward, but the old man grabbed Amij's arm. Under the old man's stern gaze, Amij had no choice but to step back.
"I'm sorry." The old man still said the same thing.
"Is that so …" Dismark smiled helplessly. "The battle is about to break out again. If the three of you don't want to help me, you'd better find a safe place to hide for a while."
Seeing Dismark slowly walking to the other side of the city wall, the three Knight looked at each other, and the old man named Adunis whispered. "Amij, if nothing unexpected happens, Dismark will definitely talk to you tonight, hehe …"
"Isn't that what we want?" Amij smiled.
"Actually, we didn't have to wait until tonight." The middle-aged Knight Aude continued. "If the three of us suddenly attacked, we could definitely kill Dismark in an instant. Amij, what were you thinking? Why did you let go of this opportunity? "
"Our Priest group is still in the city, I'm worried …"
"The elves have already launched an attack. If Dismark is killed, they will be able to take control of the city as soon as possible. This is not a reason."
Amij sighed and said word by word. "Because I don't believe that Prudence, not at all! Is this reason enough? "
"You don't believe? If you don't believe, then why did you agree to Prudence's plan? What's the point of us coming here? "
"Aude, I've noticed that you've become more and more irritable in the past six months. It's not like you." The old Knight Adunis whispered.
