In a short period of ti, Charles again advanced a rank, and the increase in strength brought about a transformation as significant as rebirth.
After more than ten moves exchanged, Charles fully demonstrated the Asiluo Clan's rapid gunmanship with his Wings of Heaven technique, exhibiting it to its fullest extent.
Knowing he had failed at the first move, the Orc Assassin realized he could no longer complete the assassination. With a flip, he fell off the city wall and shouted, "Although I can't kill you myself, you should feel proud to die at the hands of three Sacred Order shamans."
Charles was shocked and exclaid, "Three Sacred Orders?"
The Orc Assassin did not explain but used Spell of Wind Travels Thousand Miles and instantly caught up with the orc army.
Just as the residents of Silver Pigeon Fort were vigorously cheering, three figures floated into the air and imdiately, a fierce wind arose, engulfing the heavens and the earth with rolling dust and sand, obscuring the sun.
Charles finally understood why the orc army had retreated. The spell cast by these three Sacred Order Orc Shamans did not distinguish between friend and foe, hence the orc army had retreated to avoid being destroyed by the catastrophic spell.
The three Sacred Order Orc Shamans summoned a mighty wind that swept across the heavens.
In a place like Behemoth, such wind forces could not naturally occur; only in the vast ocean or the endless desert could such cruel weather exist.
Enveloped by endless wind and sand, the storm gradually advanced, and in less than half an hour, Silver Pigeon Fort was buried. The relentless winds continued unabated until half a day later, when the residual effects of the winds summoned by the three Sacred Order Orc Shamans finally subsided.
The orc army had not lingered at all and had already departed.
The three Sacred Order Orc Shamans, after employing their powerful wind technique, did not glance back at the city. Each of them controlling a fierce gale, they followed the orc army. They were highly esteed within the orc community and had not bothered to intervene until two days of unsuccessful assaults on Silver Pigeon Fort necessitated their action.
After the storm, the entire Silver Pigeon Fort was buried under sand, no longer recognizable as the city famous for its interlacing rivers and nurous channels; it had beco a massive sand dune.
Usually, in such a city, all life inside would be completely extinguished, leaving no survivors.
About a day later, a funnel seed to form beneath Silver Pigeon Fort, incessantly draining the sand that buried the city, as if a vast invisible hole underground was ceaselessly swallowing the sand.
By evening, Silver Pigeon Fort reerged above ground, the sand blown by the Sacred Order Orc Shamans' summoned winds had vanished without a trace.
Charles reappeared atop the city walls, still looking fearful, utterly unprepared for the Sacred Order Orc Shamans to possess such earth-shattering power.
He also approximately understood the ultimate weapon the orcs intended to use against Strasbourg; it was these Sacred Order Orc Shamans, planning to summon fierce winds to obliterate Strasbourg completely with sand.
At that mont, apart from Charles, not a single soul could be seen on the city walls of Silver Pigeon Fort. But as soon as Charles gingerly stepped onto the ground, the city seed to co alive again. Soldiers from the Westwind Knights and residents of Silver Pigeon Fort gradually surfaced, and the entire city regained its vitality. As noisy sounds filled the city once more, the city, known as the "Northern Senis," regained its original splendid beauty.
Almost everyone was unaware of what had just transpired.
But when they discovered the orc army had retreated, they were only relieved and no one was paying attention to why the strong wind that had just brushed past had suddenly disappeared.
If it had been an ordinary city facing such a cataclysmic force, it wouldn't have been lucky; the city would have been buried by dust, and its population and civilization completely destroyed. However, Silver Pigeon Fort was a city that had undergone triple maze-ification, and Charles, at the most critical mont, had hidden all the residents in the third layer of the labyrinth.
Now, he had inverted the three layers of the labyrinth, hiding the buried Silver Pigeon Fort in the second layer, so the entire Silver Pigeon Fort appeared completely unhard. Silver Pigeon Fort had already been destroyed, it was just that the destroyed Silver Pigeon Fort was hidden by Charles.
If the orc Sacred Order shamans hadn't been too confident and had stayed to observe a little longer, all the residents of Silver Pigeon Fort would have been inevitably covered by the sand and wind without any chance of survival.
Charles, even with his ninth rank transcendence, would have been able to save his own life but wouldn't have been able to save anyone else. Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
It was only because the three orc Sacred Order shamans were overly confident in their spells, that Charles had a chance, but he knew Silver Pigeon Fort would not have a second chance. If the orc Sacred Order shamans knew the truth, they could truly destroy the city.
Charles closed his eyes, not knowing what to do.
In the end, he made a sowhat impulsive decision.
Charles said to Anatasiya, "Guard Silver Pigeon Fort for . I need to go out for a while."
Facing tens of thousands of orcs, the Westwind Knights were no longer of any use, but Charles had to return to Strasbourg to protect Anne, even though he knew that Anne had Mama Karen by her side, and lacked no powerful guardians.
Charles selected five Hunchback Red Bear Warriors, all of them transcendent, including the original Big Bear Dominator, Hundred Bear Chief, and Bear Honey. The remaining two transcendent-level Hunchback Red Bear Warriors were prisoners captured during the attack on Silver Pigeon Fort, who had been converted into labyrinth guardians.
Charles didn't bring anyone except for the five Hunchback Red Bear Warriors. It wasn't that he coveted the combat power of these five beastman warriors but with them, he could conceal his identity.
If he encountered a human army, he could reveal his identity; if he encountered an orc army, he could blend in with the five Hunchback Red Bear Warriors and not be discovered as a human.
Charles set out with the five transcendent-level Hunchback Red Bear Warriors without any encumbrance, and after about two days, he caught up to the tail end of the orc army. To Charles's astonishnt, the army attacking Strasbourg was clearly not the only one!
He encountered at least five orc armies along the way, vast and grand, their banners covering the sky.
Charles had always felt that even if Strasbourg was short on troops, with high-level transcendent and Sacred Order surely present, they might not be at a disadvantage in battle, but seeing so many orc armies, he was no longer sure.
The beastman tribes of the southern continent had evidently co out in full force this ti, bringing all their strength to bear.
After so consideration, Charles followed Big Bear Dominator and blended into an orc army. To conceal his identity, he swapped weapons with Big Bear Dominator, wrapped himself in beast skins, painted so random patterns on his face, and took up a pair of orc flails, ensuring no orc would suspect his identity.
The vanguard of the orc army soon ca into contact and fought with the Royal Knights Order of Strasbourg. Neither side assud a decisive battle posture; after a brief contact, they each pulled back.
