162 – Enemy Of The World
Three days later, Warlock College Antalya, Black Dragon Tower, Eyes of Justice, Savage Claw, and White Elephant Ivory issued a joint public declaration, denouncing the collusion of Steel City with the under world’s allied forces, declaring it to be vile and a traitor of humanity. The 5 Great Warlock Groups called for all forces to sever their trade and connections with Steel City, noncompliance would be tantamount to committing treason against humanity, and would incur punishment from everyone.
The entire continent was shaken once that declaration was issued. For the last several millennia, this was the first time that 5 Great Warlock Groups had jointly denounced another Warlock group of committing treason against humanity.
Warlock College Antalya, Black Dragon Tower, Eyes of Justice, Savage Claw, and White Elephant Ivory, the power the 5 Great Warlock Groups wielded was already nearly half of Human Clan’s power in Turandot Subcontinent. Coupled with the large and small Warlock groups attached to them, they were capable of mobilizing around two thirds of Turandot Subcontinent’s forces.
Under the command of the 5 Great Warlock Groups, practically all human forces had severed their ties with Steel City.
Less than a day after the 5 Great Warlock Groups had denounced Steel City of committing treason against humanity, the under world’s allied forces had also publicly declared Steel City as their fiercest enemy. Anyone who managed to bring back the heads of Steel City’s Steel Master, Yang Ye, the only kin of Steel City’s City Master, Yang Feng, and others affiliated with Steel City, to the headquarters of the allied forces; the headquarters of the allied forces would arrange for them a tremendous amount of resources and would spare no effort in nurturing them into Great Warlock rank experts.
The declaration of the under world’s allied forces was like a fierce slap to the 5 Great Warlock Groups, turning their allegations pertaining to Steel City into a jest. However, no human forces dared to violate the orders of the 5 Great Warlock Groups, no one dared to trade with Steel City.
Fernandro Principality, Bailu City.
Inside the bouleuterion of Fernandro Family’s headquarters.
The ones sitting in the bouleuterion were Fernandro Family’s elders.
A heavy atmosphere of deadly silence pervaded the bouleuterion.
Leimix said with a gloomy expression: “Everyone, lets discuss what our next course of action should be.”
Elton immediately responded: “What else is there to discuss? Warlock College Antalya, Black Dragon Tower, Eyes of Justice, Savage Claw, and White Elephant Ivory, the 5 Great Warlock Groups had already declared Yang Feng an enemy of humanity. Colluding with him is tantamount to committing treason against humanity. We should immediately show where we stand, and join the side of the 5 Great Warlock Groups.”
Many of Fernandro Family’s playboys nodded in approval. The 5 Great Warlock Groups were the epitome of Turandot Subcontinent’s most powerful forces, Fernandro Family had no way to contend with them.
One should remember that Fernandro Family had just 2 level-2 Warlocks, and one of them was still killed by Yang Feng, leaving Leimix as the only level-2 Warlock in the entire family.
The elders with rich experiences had gloomy expressions, they looked resentfully at Elton and the other youngsters for failing to meeting their expectations.
Leimix’s expression darkened, he was feeling like reprimanding Elton, this good-for-nothing.
Helena glared at Elton, and snapped: “Idiot, we can’t contend with the 5 Great Warlock Groups, and we also can’t contend with Steel City.
With Steel City’s power, they could casually dispatch a mechanical legion, and exterminate every last one of us. Even though Jessica had married Yang Feng, Steel City still wouldn’t give up on us just because of her. No matter what side we offend, we still have no way to survive; that is our greatest problem.”
Elton stilled for a moment, and then said somewhat fearfully: “Does that mean that no matter what we choose, we’re still going to die?”
Helena glared at Elton: “Have you just now realized it?”
The atmosphere of fear and deathly silence had become even heavier in the bouleuterion, everyone’s eyes were flickering with worry and fear.
A youth called Convair suggested: “Sir Patriarch, wouldn’t it be better for us to leave this place? How about seeking refuge with Savage Claw?”
Leimix said without batting an eye: “Go on.”
Convair said resolutely, akin chopping nails and slicing iron: “Although Steel City is powerful, but compared to the 5 Great Warlock Groups, it’s still lacking. Even with Snow White Madam joining them, it still has but a single Great Warlock, which is not enough to contend with the 5 Great Warlock Groups; therefore, it’s doomed.”
Many elders in the bouleuterion nodded silently. The 6 Great Warlock Groups had been dominating Turandot Subcontinent for several millennia, and those who had opposed them had already been turned into dust. Although Fernandro Principality can’t contend with Steel City, but Steel City might also not be able to match the 6 Great Warlock Groups.
Convair said loudly: “We just need to abandon our foundation, Fernandro Principality. We can depart this place along with our wealth. By relying on Savage Claw, we can find a secret place to hide, and once Steel City is no more, we can re-establish our Warlock family. If we stay in Fernandro Principality, then only death will await us.”
Several official Warlocks in the bouleuterion looked at Convair revealed a trace of satisfaction. Although they didn’t wish to abandon Fernandro Principality, but as long as everyone lived, then it was possible. And if they stayed in Fernandro Principality, then they would be sitting ducks, and only death would await them.
Leimix said lightly: “I’ve got an intelligence not long ago. Warlock College Antalya, Black Dragon Tower, Eyes of Justice, Savage Claw, and White Elephant Ivory, the 5 Great Warlock Groups had dispatched 11 Great Warlocks towards Black City to capture Steel City’s City Master, Yang Ye.
Under world’s allied forces had also dispatched more than 7 Great Warlock rank experts to capture City Master Yang Ye.”
When Leimix said that, the gazes of everyone in the bouleuterion had gathered on him.
Helena’s beautiful eyes flickered with incredulity, and she exclaimed: “Impossible. 18 Great Warlocks joining hands could even contend against a Starry Sky Warlock! And they … lost?”
Everyone’s gazes were brimming with astonishment.
Warlock College Antalya, Black Dragon Tower, Eyes of Justice, Savage Claw, and White Elephant Ivory, the 5 Great Warlock Groups announcing that Steel City had rebelled against humanity proved that they hadn’t succeeded in capturing Yang Ye.
Including Helena, no one dared to believe that Steel City’s City Master could escape from 18 Great Warlock rank experts.
Leimix said with a faint sigh: “As for the result of that battle, the entire Black City had been blasted into dust, and became a forbidden land. Also, 15 of the 18 Great Warlocks had fallen!”
Convair was stunned and exclaimed: “Impossible! How could that be? Even if all the Great Warlocks from Black Dragon Tower were deployed along with Semi-Divine rank secret treasures, it would still be impossible for them to kill 15 Great Warlocks. Preposterous!! How could that happen?”
“How? How could Steel City have killed 15 Great Warlock rank experts?”
“Impossible! This intelligence is false, right?”
“How come? 15 Great Warlocks!! Those are Great Warlocks with formidable divine-like strength. How come they were so easily killed by Steel City? That’s impossible!!”
Somewhat frightened and disarray doubts were sounded in the bouleuterion. Nobody believed this intelligence. In Turandot Subcontinent, there was no force capable of killing 15 Great Warlocks at once. Great Warlocks were the most troublesome enemies. Every one of them had a lot of life-saving trump cards, and once they realized that things were going south, they would choose to escape.
The under world’s allied forces had spent countless years, and dispatched countless spies to infiltrate the surface world. They’ve spent countless efforts to poison, besiege and assassinate, with no measure being too extreme, and they had just managed to eliminate 10 Great Warlocks. 3 of the 10 Great Warlocks were just heavily injured, while only the other 7 had been truly killed.
Only after spending countless efforts had the under world’s allied forces managed to kill the 7 human Warlock. And now, a trifling Steel City had actually managed to kill 15 Great Warlocks, this is just a fairy tale.
Leimix said lightly: “This intelligence was sent back by Jessica! Reportedly, she had personally witnessed everything. Furthermore, White Elephant Ivory’s Legend rank secret treasure White Elephant Armor, Warlock College Antalya’s Legend rank secret treasure Book of Gaia, and other Legend rank secret treasures had already become Steel City’s spoils of war for Yang Feng to fiddle with as he wishes.”
When he said that, everyone in the bouleuterion inhaled a mouthful of cold air.
Jessica was a carefully nurtured genius of Fernandro Family. She was extremely loyal to Fernandro Family, and there was no way the intelligence she sent back would be false.
But if this is true, then Steel City’s foundation and power needed to be reevaluated.
When Helena heard that, she couldn’t help but have a touch of jealousy and envy surge inside her, as well as a deep hatred towards herself for not marrying into Steel City instead of Jessica. An ambitious girl like her would naturally be unwilling to live her life in mediocrity, she desired to be more powerful and have a longer lifespan. In order to become stronger, tremendous cultivation resources were essential, and becoming the lady of a young Lord from a formidable Warlock group was the fastest way to obtaining those tremendous resources.
Leimix smiled faintly and said: “Jessica has already sent word for us to come over, she can let us join Rose Garden. As long as we seek refuge with Rose Garden and be under their protection, then Warlock College Antalya won’t have a way to take a hold of us.”
“That’s an excellent idea!”
“Jessica can even let us join Rose Garden, she’s so capable.”
“Since Jessica had said so, then lets just do that so.”
There was a buzz of approving voices in the bouleuterion. After hearing that Steel City had managed to kill 15 Great Warlock rank experts in one fell swoop, Jessica’s position in Fernandro Family had once more received a tremendous boost. Everyone realized that whether Fernandro Family could gain glory or not, it all depended on Jessica’s performance.
Leimix had only now revealed a trace of a smile.
Not long after, Fernandro Principality had announced that they were joining Rose Garden, becoming one of Rose Garden’s subsidiary forces.
