Chapter 1058: Start of Disaster

Wizard Alpert wouldn’t have expected it, even at the brink of death. Ten advanced sacred knights could easily overpower him even under the protection of the legendary armor. Even though he was an advanced wizard, he did not possess the power to resist. His neck was cut in half, and his blood gushed and flowed to the floor tiles, darkening the atmosphere in the temple.

A soul light rose from Wizard Alpert’s corpse. Even when the temple was in the way, an essence rose from the temple and straight towards the sky.

Knight Kirk shook the blood off his blade, “This was a good sign today, your Majesty! Wizard Alpert’s death is a good beginning to what we’re about to do soon!”

Strangely, only he, Emperor Harvey, and the other advanced sacred knights were smiling at this. The other knights all had very concerned looks on their faces. The soul light was probably for all the neighboring towns and cities to see.

One knight asked dully, “Why did you do that, Master Kirk?”

This knight was not a follower, like many who joined the military of the Holy Light Empire. He was among the many who had no idea about Emperor Harvey’s plan.

Emperor Harvey jousted loudly, “Everyone! While our great emperor rules Lance Continent, we have long surrendered the majority of its resources to the wizards. As you’ve all witnessed today, we have grown to be more powerful than them, so from today on, the Holy Light Empire shall commence its extermination plan and wipe the continent of its wizards!”

A few subservient or “smart” knights bowed, “We heed to you, your Majesty!”

No one would object. They didn’t see a reason to, anyway. Emperor Harvey ruled for 300 years strong, and even if the knights were fighting for their own self-interest, this was as good of an option for them.

Knight Kirk stood up and bowed, “Your Majesty! Three teleportation circles are ready. One will lead us to the Wizard Union Headquarter. Another to the main city of dwarves. The final one at the royal palace of the elves. We’ll commence the attack as soon as you give us the word!”

The knights felt a chill on the back as soon as they heard this. The Emperor was trying to block all pathways for the wizards to escape. There was another one at the orcs, but that one malfunctioned when they tried to launch an assault. Of course, the orc priests tried to have their revenge, but the wizards stopped them with treaties and interstate restrictions.

Emperor Harvey stood up in his bright gold armor, “Send the word down, Kirk! We’ll commence the attack.”

Emperor Harvey was more emotional than he led on. The spirits he worshipped began this scheme 300 years ago, and today was the day to make a crucial change. This was the day that Lance Continent would be supposed to be under his control. As long as the three super-sized teleportation circles were cut loose, he could spread his faith to every corner there was.

As for the wizards? Emperor Harvey threw a belittling look at the headless corpse beneath him. A mere rank seventeen was not going to do anything, and he didn’t think that several of them were going to make any difference. The sacred knights were just stronger than wizards. If the central continent wanted to send reinforcements, they’d have to come by sea. The divine messengers did the calculations for him a while back. Even the strongest flying mount had no way of crossing an entire ocean, not with all the climates and ocean creatures that were in between. Why else would the central continent not fight the Nation of God so early?

If a legendary class holder was to intervene, he must have a flying mount that could cross the borders. Otherwise, ships were the only means of transport, but that would take too much time, and it was risky. Yes, there were very few options to get from one to the other, and even the most influential figures had to go through great costs to travel to the other side.

Knight Kirk responded, “Yes, your Majesty!”

Shanfu Forest had a city surrounded by trees. The city was slightly old. This was where Palace Weka was situated. Under the influence of the Holy Light Empire, the elves did not have an easy life here. There were many restrictions on materials, and they never got enough materials to sustain daily living. Lucky, the necessities could all be found in the forest. Survival was not a problem. The problem was in prospering and developing.

Here, Archduke Bridget was reading a book in her hand. Her mind had felt troubled the whole day. She felt like something was going to happen.

She threw her book away and called loudly, “Someone! Increase the number of patrols! Let the druids in as well!”

An elven warrior came to respond in a worried manner, “Archduke! Archduke! We received an alarm from the super teleportation circle at the outskirts! There is an invasion!”

“What?” Archduke Bridget came with a pale look on her face. The teleportation circle was the last line for the elves to survive on this land. Despite all the oppressions their kind had faced, they could still rely on the central continent if the Holy Light Empire went too far. That being said, she would never expect the teleportation circle to be attacked since that would be a direct declaration of war on the central continent. As for who would be as bold as to pull this off, it would have to be the emperor in charge of the empire.

Come to think of it, this teleportation circle was owned by the elves, but it still served as a stop for the Wizard Union teleportation system. Archduke Bridget just realized something. Maybe Emperor Harvey was targeting the wizards, but what happened for him to make a decision this mad? She was unsure. There was an endless sea of questions in her mind.

Since they had to do everything possible to secure the teleportation circle, Archduke Bridget dismissed the fact that it might be destroyed already and called for advanced druids to defend it. When several dozen advanced druids and hundreds of other druids rushed out, the first thing they saw were two streaks of soul lights. Two guards just died.

Druid Neville was a rank 18 druid that was watching this. As the leader of the elves, her eyes were filled with tears as she rode her dire wolf to lead her troop. She recognized the guards. They were her good friends for the past few centuries. When she realized that it was them who were gone, that was also when she and the rest realized that the invaders were in knight’s armor and had knight’s swords and shields in their hands. To make things clearer for them, those men had the symbol of the Holy Light Empire on them.

Only ten rank 19 advanced sacred knights were here. That was how weak Emperor Harvey thought the elves were. Of course, the main objective was not to kill the elves but to destroy the super-sized teleportation circle. The sacred knights didn’t have to bother killing more than the guards. All it took was a few minutes for them to get what they wanted.

One sacred knight chanted, “My lord’s light will shine upon this land! The elves will become the lamb of my lord!”

Druid Neville stopped the wolf she was riding on. She had a bewildered look on her as she saw the ten sacred knights.

She looked rather angry and sharp, “Evil knights! You are a bunch of evil knights!”

Druid Neville was returning from the central continent. She knew how powerful the sacred knights were on the second row of the battlefield. She couldn’t understand how the worshippers of the demon from beyond would be here, in all places.

That was when an intermediate druid passed her and rushed towards these sacred knights. He just transformed himself into a worgen and accelerated his speed.

“Careful!” Druid Neville called out loudly.

But he was too slow—a blue freezing qi wrapped around the intermediate druid and turned him into an ice sculpture. Not soon later, his body shattered right then and there. A few more druids rushed into the range of the sacred freezing. Apart from the advanced druids, those who had less experience just died immediately.

The advanced knight didn’t advance, “Remember, this continent belongs to my lord! You shall follow him as much as we have!”

Druid Neville called out, “Stop pursuing them!”

She understood that the elves had no chance fighting these ten advanced knights. Her eyes fixed upon the super teleportation circle building. Instead of engaging in a fight that she knew would be fruitless, she rode the wolf into the building. She found out that the circle had blood all over it. It was from the guards that were killed. Multiple scratches destroyed the circle. Worse yet, they did not have the materials, nor a means to trade with the outside world to fix it.

It was up to Archduke Bridget to decide what to do next. As she looked at the corpses of the two friends, she realized that Lance Continent would undergo a deep disaster soon. It was going to be something that nobody’s seen before.

As with elves’ tragedy, 30 rank 19 advanced sacred knights just finished killing dwarves. They killed about several hundred dwarven wizards before they destroyed the teleportation circle they were guarded. As for the Wizard Union, 50 advanced sacred knights and several hundred intermediate sacred knights took a little more than ten minutes before marching into the headquarters for a massacre. The wizards inside the Wizard Union building had no idea how the sacred knights fought. They didn’t know, so the sacred knights did everything they could to slaughter them by the numbers in the most efficient manner that they knew.

Very soon, the wizards died without retaliating. Some even surrendered out of fear, but that didn’t stop the blades from cutting through their hearts and heads. There was no mercy shown in the way these sacred knights asserted their dominance. Every wizard was to die. Like that, apart from a few that teleported out, every wizard inside the Wizard Union headquarter building was killed. The super teleportation circle was destroyed, and many resources were brought out to the Holy Light Empire.
