Chapter 547: Chapter 440, The God Forsaker_1
Aubrey tightly gripped the dagger.
His gaze was deadlocked on Rebecca in front of him.
They had been preparing for today’s plan for a long time.
The shift of the City Lord’s mansion guards, the tasks of the City Defense Army, he had made preparations for everything.
Everything was following the process he had designed.
Everyone was unconscious, Adeline killed Rebecca, and the guards on the first floor dealt with Rebecca’s supporters.
It was such a simple task.
However, this seemingly comprehensive plan fell apart at the last step.
Not only did Fang Hao’s group of three not fall unconscious, they also demonstrated strong combat abilities, stopping all the guards on the first floor.
Not only that, the guard following Rebecca utilized an astonishing amount of strength.
Adeline unfurled giant wings just like him, and the two fought from the ground all the way up to the sky, disappearing from sight.
Handling Rebecca himself was the only option left now.
He had to kill Rebecca before the City Defense Army arrived.
“As long as you die, as long as you die, I can blame everything on Fang Hao and his group. I am the City Lord, the army will definitely listen to me, they definitely will.” Aubrey’s voice was raspy and nearly to the point of roaring.
As long as he killed Rebecca, even if the army saw the signal flare and arrived.
He could frame the murder on Fang Hao and his outsiders.
With his notorious reputation as a freeloader, no one would believe he had the courage to kill Rebecca.
The plan will still succeed when that time comes.
Aubrey looked as though he was manic, his thin face growing increasingly ferocious.
Once he had made up his mind, he tightly clutched the dagger in his hand, slowly inching closer.
On the other side, Rebecca slowly retreated step by step.
She was wearing a dress designed by Fang Hao for today’s banquet. It was a form-fitting design, meaning she had trouble performing any combat moves and had nowhere to hide weapons.
“Aubrey, you’re only in charge of the military affairs. You’re nothing more than a useless freeloader who knows nothing except eating and drinking. Without others, you will only die faster.” Rebecca’s voice was cold, her eyes deadlocked on her opponent as she slowly retreated.
Indeed, she was in control of the city’s army.
But her abilities were only average,
Her own abilities were just average too, she hadn’t participated in a direct combat since she took this position.
She wasn’t sure whether she could defeat Aubrey or not.
But she couldn’t show weakness, otherwise Aubrey would only become more brazen.
Hearing Rebecca’s words, Aubrey paused momentarily, then lunged at Rebecca with his dagger, “Rebecca, don’t blame me, I can only survive if you die.”
Rebecca’s countenance changed dramatically as she prepared to defend herself.
The distance between them quickly closed, once close enough, Aubrey’s dagger lunged forward.
Rebecca dodged just in time, but not completely. The dagger grazed her side, inflicting a wound.
Although it didn’t stab her directly.
Aubrey’s forward momentum was enough to send Rebecca flying.
The platform of the second floor had already collapsed during the fight.
Rebecca’s body flew backward, falling toward the first-floor lobby from the second floor.
At this height, with Rebecca’s physical condition, if she didn’t die, she would be gravely injured for sure.
As her body was rapidly descending, her mind went blank.
Looking at Aubrey up above, with a face full of joy and relief, she felt somewhat desperate.
Just when Rebecca thought she was going to fall to her death.
A howling wind rushed past her ear.
A gust of wind from underneath lifted her up, slowing her descent.
Simultaneously, several tendrils extended from the air.
They coiled around her ankle and waist, pulling her towards a corner.
By the time she realized what happened.
She had already been brought to Fang Hao’s side.
After the tendrils loosened, she landed directly on the ground.
The battle on the first floor was far more intense than she had imagined.
The unconscious people hadn’t woken up yet, but the area where Fang Hao was standing was already piled up with dead bodies.
Blood flowed like a river, the entire space was filled with the stench of blood.
“Are you ok?” asked Fang Hao as the electric light of Thunderbolt flashed in his hand. He repelled the rebel soldiers in front of him with a swift sword swing.
“I’m fine, the reinforcements will arrive soon.” answered Rebecca.
At this point, she had no time to care about her image. Tearing off a piece of fabric from her skirt, she gritted her teeth and used it to bandage her wound.
“I hope so!” Without saying more, Fang Hao took out a sword from his storage space and threw it in front of her.
Rebecca didn’t say anything, she directly picked up the sword from the ground.
Even though she couldn’t match Fang Hao and his group’s strength, having a weapon in hand could guarantee some level of self-protection.
Aubrey stood on the second floor, watching as Rebecca, who had fallen from the second floor, was saved by Fang Hao and his group.
He bellowed loudly, “Quick, kill Rebecca, or we’ll all die!”
Aubrey’s roar echoed through the hall.
Fang Hao looked up, formed a Thunderbolt Javelin in his hand and hurled it towards Aubrey.
Boom!!
There was a loud explosion.
Although it didn’t hit Aubrey, the explosion had blown him away.
He sat weakly in the corner, completely powerless.
At this moment.
Loud sounds of fighting could be heard from outside the City Lord’s mansion.
The City Defense Army and the guards of the City Lord’s mansion started to fight each other.
Both parties wore Lyss City’s armor, but they were fighting each other.
In the dim night, the scene was incredibly chaotic.
As they fought, they even couldn’t distinguish who were the rebels and who were their own men.
The scene was a total chaos.
…
The battle outside lasted for half an hour.
The sealed gate was hit with continuous pounding.
