Wizard Immortal

Chapter 148 Taking Action

Several people were standing outside the hall.

After a moment of silence, Thor looked at the blond man before him and laughed loudly, "Sitael, long time no see!"

"yes."

Standing in front of Thor, listening to Thor's words, the blond man named Sitar said meaningfully, "It has indeed been a long time."

"However, since you're back, please come in."

He gave a polite smile: "Upon hearing the news of your return, I prepared a sumptuous banquet for you. I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

"Oh, then I'll have to see what you've prepared for me."

Seeing the way the other party treated him like a host, Thor was furious, but he didn't show it on his face. He just smiled and said...

"Please come in, everyone."

Sitar glanced at Thor in front of him and Adir beside Thor, then turned and led them into the hall.

Soon, they walked into the spacious hall.

This place has clearly been thoroughly cleaned, and every corner is beautifully decorated.

The beautifully prepared food was displayed everywhere, neatly arranged on the wooden table, and looked like it had been carefully prepared.

In the lobby, there were also some guests dressed in formal attire, each with a smile on their face, chatting amongst themselves. The atmosphere appeared harmonious, making one unconsciously relax.

However, amidst this harmonious atmosphere, Adir felt a sense of oppression.

Around the hall, someone was lurking, keeping a close eye on Thor and his group, which Adir vaguely noticed.

After a while, as Sitar walked to the front, the hall fell silent.

All eyes were drawn to Sitar and Thor beside him.

"Would you like me to introduce you to the guests who came to greet us today?"

As the crowd gradually gathered around, Sitar's smile remained unchanged as he looked at Thor and spoke.

Standing there, listening to his words, Thor remained silent. Although the smile on his face did not change, his eyes gradually turned cold.

Seeing that Thor remained silent, Sitar did not take it to heart and directly introduced the people in front of him: "This is Adrian, my newly appointed commander of the guard regiment, in charge of the city's guard regiment."

"This is Aradya, the patriarch of the Sislu family. You should be familiar with him."

············

In front of Thor, he introduced each person in front of him one by one, his smile never changing.

Standing before him, listening to his introduction, Thor's mood turned cold.

As a former lord, he naturally understood the meaning behind the other party's introduction. It wasn't just a show of force, but also a way of informing him that the castle's current state had been completely taken over by the other party in a short period of time.

If it were an ordinary person, hearing such news at this moment would probably have made them change color.

However, having been a lord for so many years, Thor remained outwardly calm despite his inner turmoil and anger, simply smiling and talking to the people in front of him.

Soon, the banquet officially began.

Compared to ordinary banquets, this banquet was undoubtedly much smaller in scale, and there were no female companions around, only guards with cold expressions standing to the side.

However, at that moment, no one paid attention to this.

Everyone present was well aware of the purpose of the banquet, and no one was truly there to enjoy it.

Their eyes were all focused on the front.

There, Thor and Sitar, along with a few others, were still talking, and they seemed to be having a good chat.

"Oh, right, there's something I forgot to tell you."

Sitting in front, looking at Thor, Sitar suddenly spoke as if he had suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, what is it?"

Hearing Sitar's words, Thor's eyes narrowed, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"It's about your children."

Under Thor's gaze, Sitar's smile remained unchanged as he spoke directly, "After you left, your children caused quite a commotion. To avoid unnecessary losses, I locked them up."

"Because you weren't there at the time, I didn't have a chance to explain this to you. I hope you don't mind."

bump!

A crisp sound rang out from the spot, attracting the attention of those around.

Under Sital's gaze, Thor's face turned ashen, and he crushed a ceramic bowl in his hand to pieces: "What exactly do you want?!"

"What do you want to do?"

At that moment, Sitar's expression suddenly changed, becoming somewhat ferocious: "Of course I want this castle that rightfully belongs to me back!"

The place immediately fell silent.

Sitting across from Sitar, Thor's expression returned to calm: "Even if you succeed by doing this, you'll only become someone else's puppet and won't get what you want."

"So what?"

Sitar sneered: "Even if I'm just a puppet in name only at first, with my strength, given enough time, I'll eventually have a chance to break free from other people's control. It's much better than being constantly monitored by you."

"It seems we can't talk anymore."

Thor's expression immediately turned cold.

bump!!

A loud crash came from ahead.

Thor suddenly stood up, grabbed the wooden table in front of him with one hand, overturned it, and slammed it onto the opposite side, sending two guards flying.

Opposite him, Sitar sneered and walked directly behind him.

Beside him, tall guards, clad in leather armor, walked forward, their sharp eyes fixed on Thor as he charged.

Bang! Boom!

The swords clashed repeatedly, their clanging sounds echoing all around.

But in just a moment, Thor knocked down the guards in front of him, and they fell to the ground.

He was originally a famous knight in the area, and before the disaster struck, he led his army to fight in various places. He could easily deal with a few warriors on his own.

After more than a month of training with Adir, his physical abilities improved rapidly. Even some senior knight apprentices might not be his match, so dealing with a few ordinary warriors was naturally a piece of cake.

He wielded his sword and forcefully knocked down several guards in front of him. Holding the blood-stained longsword in his right hand, his sharp eyes swept downwards.

Below, witnessing his imposing display, the guests invited by Sitar were startled and lowered their heads as they felt his gaze upon them.

"Kill him!!" A voice came from the side, accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps.

Around the hall, several warriors in leather armor quickly approached from all sides, their eyes fixed on Thor.

"Lord Thor is the rightful and true lord. Aren't you afraid your entire tribe will be hanged for doing this?"

Several guards also jumped out and stood beside Thor, shouting at the large number of warriors rushing out in front of them.

On the side, among the guests, several people's eyes gleamed as they watched the scene unfold, seemingly wanting to step forward.

Ahead, despite being reprimanded like this, the knight leading the group sneered, "The kingdom has already collapsed; who cares whether your position as lord is legitimate?"

"Kill him!"

Looking around, he decisively led his men and charged forward, his eyes fixed solely on Thor.

"Lord Adier!"

Standing still, looking around, Thor glanced at Adir beside him.

"Leave it to me."

Feeling Thor's gaze, Adir smiled and walked forward.

He silently drew the long sword from his waist, and his figure vanished in an instant.

bump!

With a soft thud, a head fell to the ground, its face bearing an expression of shock and confusion, seemingly not understanding what had happened.

Streaks of silver sword light spread outwards, and figures flew backwards one after another.

Standing still, Adir's face was calm, and faint arcs of electricity flashed across the sword in his hand before he slashed forward fiercely.

Yinhua!!

With the addition of magic power, the power of this sword surged explosively, and the force attached to it struck more than a dozen warriors around it in an instant, shattering half of their bodies.

"this···"

The people around stared in disbelief at the scene before them, almost thinking they were dreaming.

The entire hundred-plus fully armed guards were almost completely wiped out in a very short time, and the opponent was just one person.

Standing still, watching the corpses fall around him, Adir remained calm, put his longsword back, and then turned to look at Thor.

Staring blankly at the scene before him, even though he was prepared for Adir's power, Thor still couldn't help but feel a sense of shock and deep fear after witnessing this scene.

However, he skillfully concealed his true feelings and simply laughed it off: "I'll trouble you to take care of it, Lord Adir! Leave the rest to me."

He turned around, looked at the guests attending the banquet, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Everyone here, please stay here for a while."

Below, listening to Thor's words, the people around looked at each other, and they all saw a wry smile on each other's faces.

However, after what had just happened, it was impossible for them to step forward and fight Thor again. They all fell silent and stood quietly to the side without saying a word.

Seeing their attitude, Thor remained calm on the surface, but nodded inwardly.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.

Thanks to the shock and intimidation caused by Adir's recent actions, coupled with the prestige he had accumulated in the past, the people in the hall did not dare to stand up against him for the time being and maintained a neutral attitude.

With this stance, coupled with the annihilation of these hundreds of elite warriors, Sitar's available forces have been greatly reduced.

Without these loyal warriors, even if Sitar managed to control the other armed forces in the castle, he could not possibly have fully taken control of them in such a short time, let alone make them attack Thor, the lord.

As the lord who had controlled this castle for over twenty years, Thor was confident that he could take it back.
