"Very ambitious" Hal could not help but comnt.
The opening in the Do was quickly flooded by Plebeian Forces who quickly engaged the Edgar forces that had flooded out at the sound of distress.
The rchants quickly took steps back. From San's words, the Edgar family was the one that was in danger. They were the targets and none of them wished to be caught in the middle.
Neither did any of the Great Family Heads.
However, it was impossible for them to leave because the only ans of entry or exit in the Do was the one through which the multitude of Plebeian forces was flooding in through.
A lot of those ass-kissing rchants gritted their teeth and chewed their nails in regret and distress that they had even attended this ceremony.
The Edgar forces however were filled with confidence because, despite San's cosmic Phenonon Realm cultivation, he was only at the Early stage and nothing compared to the Mayor; The Great Hector Edgar.
Hector straightened himself completely and glared at the Plebeian forces. Clearly he did not consider San a threat.
It was like a slowly rising tidal wave that continued to expand and grow as the old Mayor and Edgar patriarch began to release the pressure of his Late-stage Cosmic Phenonon realm cultivation.
In the space of a second, A phenonon was already forming behind him.
Hector swung his hand in a diagonal manner and released a crescent-shaped Cosmic attack that was infused with a Cosmic Phenonon.
Being on the terrace of the Castle, he had the advantage of vantage point and the attack beca a kind of terror from above.
The re feel of it was chilling and ominous and when it landed...
*Booommmmm*
...it seed to detonate like a massive explosion and killed hundred of Cosmic Pearl realm cultivators!
It was quite an impressive sight that boosted the morale of the Edgar forces all the more.
However,
Despite so many being killed, the Plebeian forces did not lose their mojo. In fact they pressed on even harder and reaped the lives of nurous n of the Edgar family force.
The situation was looking quite chaotic and having nowhere to go, those that did not want to be involved (who were all those with no ties to the Edgar family) stepped back and far away from the courtyard where they could still hear the sound of battle and the cry of fallen n.
While the rchants were not interested in losing their lives fighting for the Edgars, they did admit that for such a thing to happen on what was supposed to be a joyous occasion, was quite the tragedy.
Hal however watched the events with an impassive expression. So did the ladies with him.
They did not seem to be in a hurry to leave like the others and did not seem particularly worried that they would be victims of stray attacks.
Edvard looked at them and had to admit that he was jealous of their calm.
While he was no coward (his words not mine), he was still worried and a little upset that this happened when he was away from the full might of his estate.
While the guards he has brought with him were quite capable, they were far from being able to fight hundreds of Experts which was sothing they would have to do should attention be turned to him and his party.
Hal on the other hand ca with fewer individuals than him. He only ca with three ladies, except if you count the Payne guards.
And even if you did due to their 'reconciliation', they were still very outnumbered.
Yet they did not panic and if Edvard had not known better, he would have said they were waiting for sothing.
Back to the large Edgar castle Courtyard that had now beco a battleground for a battle between two sides with altogether numbers of fighters at the Tens of thousands.
And out of that number, the Plebeians held the majority. Despite Hector Edgar's efforts.
While he had not taken any close combat action, his ranged attacks had been quite effective and reaped the lives of hundreds of cultivates.
So much so that the Old man was beginning to wonder if this was simply a foolish attack. After all, since he had been rampaging and taking out his anger on the Plebeian forces, San simply sat on his Palanquin and smiled.
The other Plebeian heads were on the ground as it seed to have beco San's sole right to ride the luxurious transport to battle.
While the other heads did not smile like San, there was still a calm look on their faces as though things were proceeding accordingly.
It was very odd.
Hector had only just thought of this when he realized the Plebeian Runemastsrs were no longer where they had once been; By San's side.
Quickly, he zeroed in on where the Runemasters were and saw they had mingled with the crowd of Plebeian forces. He quickly condensed another Cosmic attack to send to their direction, Alas,
It was too late.
*Bang!*
With the sound of a strong impact, a combined Rune by the two stuck the terrace Hector was standing on and caused the whole structure to break apart.
Not only Hector, but everyone who had been there with him, Darryl, Marlon and Olivia, Alexander, Karon, and other imdiate family mbers fell straight to the ground.
Granted where they fell to was a part of the courtyard the Plebeians had not gotten to.
But the Runemasters were not done as they quickly tossed an Array scroll towards Hector.
With reflexes that far exceeded what they could hope to have, Hector blasted the Array out of the air.
Without any knowledge as to what the Array's effect was, the best cautious manner was to be aware of the surroundings and destroy the Arrays before they activated.
The Runemasters had planned for such alertness and cautiousness ahead and drew at least fifty Array scrolls altogether and tossed it all at Hextor who chuckled,
"Children" He said in a snide tone and spun.
As he did so, Cosmic energy leaked from his body and ford a cyclone of energy around him as he spun and prevented any scroll's entry while occasionally sending Cosmic attacks to the two RuneMasters who attempted to dodge but did not escape unscathed.
*Bang* *Bang*
Both were hit and knocked backward and away from the Elderly patriarch of the Edgar family.
Once they were down, he directed his gaze at the Plebeian forces and struck them constantly with his dangerous Cosmic attacks.
It was in one such mont that Baret sat up and pulled out an Array scroll which the two infused with Astral energy and Baret tossed it at Hector.
The mont it was thrown, Hector turned towards it and tried to destroy it as he had done the others but before he could, the Array within the scroll activated in the form of a Do that covered Hector alone.
The other Array scrolls had been decoys to correctly predict Hector's reaction ti and take advantage of his overconfidence as a Cosmic phenonon Realm cultivator.
However, Hector felt nothing from the Array Do and knew he could simply step out if he wanted to and he was about todo so when an incandescent Blue gem that was retrieved from Baret's spatial pouch was tossed and it latched onto the Do before he could.
Essentially trapping him.
"This is sothing special we've been saving for you.
That Day at the Confluence, we were quite tempted to make use of it, but I am glad we didn't" Baret said with a boastful cackle.
"Yes, it was for the best. This is far more satisfying" Ian agreed with a snigger of his own while glaring the Do and Hector in it with his Eagle-eyed stare.
"What nonsense is this? This can't hold " Hector sneered and slamd the Do with the might of his Cultivation but it remained as stable as ever.
Baret and Ian did wince though.
Not only did the Do prove impossible to break, but it also began to siphon the Mayor's Cosmic Energy and slowly rendering him weak. It also sapped his ntal health and gradually made him incapable of rational thought.
"Unfortunately, we can't keep this up for too long as it still affects us and is of a Rank that we can not bear indefinitely. However, by the ti we deactivate it, you will have no ability to fight for your family" Baret boasted before San's words sounded from behind,
"And even if you could, there won't be a Family to fight for" He said and it was those words that further forced Hector to his knees as he attempted to fight the Array's effects.
