Baron Cullen

With Lamont taking the lead, the other chapter members followed suit, each using their best skills to fight the guards who had regained consciousness!

Since most of the guards were at least at the second tier, the battle between the two sides gradually became intense.

But at this moment, Karen channeled his extraordinary element into his legs, then used the mansion's wall to leap high into the air, while the special power deep within his body began to surge!

Dominator of the Elements!

With the help of this special ability that greatly amplifies elemental magic, he instantly conjured two blazing fireballs with his hands that were clearly not something a first-tier mage could condense!

boom!

He suddenly threw the two fireballs in his hand behind the guards, and the violent explosions left them caught in a chaotic mess, attacked from both sides!

The next moment, as he landed steadily on the ground, he drew the enchanted greatsword behind him, infused the blade with extraordinary elements, and decisively unleashed "Savage Thrust"!

The terrifying speed he unleashed in an instant allowed him to close the distance to a guard whose strength was at the second tier in the blink of an eye.

"Varied…?!"

Before his opponent could react, he seized the opportunity to change his move and unleash the "Violent Triple Slash"!

Three powerful red energy waves cleaved out almost instantly, killing the guard in front of him and severely injuring several people behind him as well.

Thanks to his and Lamont's decisive actions, the pressure on the members of the chapter was greatly reduced, and they quickly routed the guards, who began to scatter and flee.

Karen stared at one of the guards who was trying to hide in the house and immediately unleashed another second-tier combat skill, "Slash"!

With the same incredibly powerful exertion, he rushed behind his opponent in just a few breaths and brought his sword down fiercely!

puff!

Amidst the spray of blood, a headless corpse collapsed with a thud in front of the house's door.

But at that moment, an incredibly terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the depths of the mansion, followed by a shockwave that almost materialized!

Karen's pupils contracted sharply, and her body moved almost instinctively!

He suddenly raised his right hand forward and unleashed the first-tier magic "Hard Rock Barrier," amplified by the "Elemental Overlord"!

A semi-transparent barrier instantly formed in front of him, and then continued to expand until it completely blocked his view.

clang!!!

Suddenly, the incredibly fierce shockwave slammed into the barrier, producing a deafeningly clear sound!

At the same time, an indescribable force surged from the barrier towards Karen, causing him to cough up blood and then sending him flying, crashing heavily into the courtyard wall.

"Cough cough!!"

The intense pain caused him to curl up, and he coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood.

"Karen!" Lamont, who was not far away, saw this and immediately turned his gaze towards the door of the house. "Damn it! I'll kill you today!"

He knew this was not the time to be distracted by checking on Karen's injuries.

It was already known that in addition to a dozen guards, there was also a fourth-level superhuman guarding this mansion.

If he doesn't step up now, his brothers in the battle group behind him will definitely suffer serious casualties once the enemy starts fighting!

The moment the words fell, a figure burst out of the house like a wild bull, followed by an incredibly sharp wave of air!

"Interesting! He's a warrior too!" Lamont's eyes narrowed, and he raised his giant axe to block.

clang!

With a crisp sound, he was forced back half a step by the opponent's powerful force.

But at this moment, the fourth-tier warrior also fully revealed himself.

A middle-aged man dressed in full black armor, with cold eyes!

He gripped the gleaming greatsword tightly with both hands, and his body emanated a powerful aura that was in no way inferior to Lamont's!

"You are... Lamont Kenny, the Vice-Commander of the Chapter?"

The man in black armor's expression immediately darkened after he saw Lamont's face clearly.

As a warrior-class superhuman who spent most of his time around the City of No Breath, he had naturally heard of this person.

To be honest, even though they were both fourth-tier, he didn't want to provoke this well-known vice-leader of the battle group.

It wasn't just because of the other party's status and position, but also because their strength was renowned!

After a moment's consideration, the man in black armor asked coldly, "What is the meaning of your trespassing on my private territory with your warband today?"

However, Lamont merely sneered, showing no intention of wasting words with the other party.

He immediately raised his giant axe and engaged the black-armored man in fierce combat without saying a word!

Suddenly, the terrifying impact of the battle between fourth-tier powerhouses spread out like a tidal wave, sweeping across the entire courtyard and the first floor of the mansion!

The battle between the two sides intensified, and for a time they were evenly matched!

Karen, who had already stood up not far away, saw this scene and immediately realized that the other party was just trying to buy time!

Through the unique perspective enhanced by the mysterious runes, he instantly discerned the extraordinary pathways within the black-armored man's body and immediately shouted to Lamont, "Attack him one inch below the center of his right thigh!"

Upon hearing this, not only Lamont, but even the man in black armor had a drastic change in expression!

He was terrified!

That seemingly young lad actually spotted his hidden injury!

Before the man in black armor could react, Lamont in front of him had already changed his move, and the giant axe in his hand, wrapped in surging supernatural elements, was constantly attacking his lower body!

"Damn it! This isn't a duel at all!" he shouted in desperation.

Lamont's offensive showed no signs of abating; on the contrary, it grew even more ferocious, as he chuckled, "You think I came here in the middle of the night to fight you?"

Dangdang Dangdang!

Faced with the fierce attack, the black-armored man had no choice but to desperately channel the extraordinary elements within his body into his legs and the greatsword in his hand, constantly defending against every killing move from Lamont.

But just as he felt he was gradually gaining the upper hand, a voice, like the whisper of death, came again:

"Now! Chop off his head!!!"

Almost instantly, Lamont took a half-step forward with his left foot, using the momentum and inertia of his body rotation to unleash a fourth-tier combat skill that he considered his killing move!

The heavy axe, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, slammed down towards the black-armored man's head!

"No! You can't...!"

puff!

Before the man in black armor could finish shouting, a sharp axe blade flashed across his neck!

Then, the headless body clad in black armor collapsed with a thud!

"Alright! Everyone, follow me inside to rescue them!"

After the battle ended, Lamont wasted no time and, gripping his blood-stained giant axe, gave the order.

However, just as everyone was preparing to enter the mansion, a series of rapid hoofbeats and footsteps suddenly came from outside the gate!

Immediately afterwards, a majestic voice rang out:

"Listen up, everyone inside! I am Kevin Connor, Grand Master of the Knights of Breathless City!"

This area has been officially taken over by the Knights. Everyone, lay down your weapons and cease resistance immediately!

Otherwise I will be charged with treason!

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin Connor, dressed in gleaming knight's armor, led two squads of knights, a total of more than twenty fully armed knights, completely surrounding the mansion's gate!

The moment they appeared, the knights drew their bows and crossbows, the sharp arrows gleaming coldly in the torchlight, and aimed at the people in the courtyard.

Kevin slowly walked out from the group of knights, his gaze sweeping over the corpses scattered across the courtyard before finally settling on Lamont and Cullen.

He immediately put on a pained expression and said, "Vice Commander Lamont Kenny! Baron Karen Waller!"

What are you doing?! Not only did you break into a private residence in the middle of the night, but you also caused death!

Do you even have any regard for imperial law?!

His words were righteous and stern, as if he were truly upholding the majesty of imperial law.

At this moment, Karen's heart sank when she saw Kevin's hypocritical face!

Why did the Knights of Favonius happen to be here?

It should be noted that although this area still belongs to the territory of the City of No Breath, its location is extremely remote, and the knight squads that are responsible for night patrols never come here.

But tonight, not only did the Knights arrive, but Kevin, as their leader, personally led the team, and even brought two whole squads of knights!

This was clearly prepared in advance!

The Knights knew that their entire chapter was going to be mobilized, which is why they brought so many people with them!

However, their plan to storm the mansion tonight was decided on the spur of the moment, and even the mansion's owner, Bastian, probably didn't know about it at the moment.

In other words, the leak wasn't from an outsider, but from someone within the warband!

Karen's face instantly turned ugly.

He never imagined that a traitor would emerge from within the battle group!
