Chapter 1011: Battlecry City
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Bernie's arrival had lifted Abel's mood by miles. He had too many secrets, so he rarely had any friends.
When he thought he was alone, he found out his girlfriend and best friend were both on the Central Continent. It seemed like he wasn't that lonely after all.
Bernie was recognized as a disciple by Law Defying Wizard Hutton. Abel was very happy for him, and Bernie had a head start compared to him back in the days.
Although Bernie was not young, quickly leveling up under his resources shouldn't be a problem.
Most importantly, if Bernie didn't become a wizard, he wouldn't be able to live beyond a few hundred years, even though that was far longer than normal humans.
In the following days, Abel went into retreat again. He would not change his retreat plans even with Bernie around.
He dwelled in the grassland outside of the Dark World's Pandemonium Castle, ruthlessly killing hell creatures. At that moment, a giant fortress made with thick stones stood tall on the Battlecry plateau thousands of miles from him.
It was a vicious place with a vicious atmosphere where only some slim long grass could grow. Normal sheep and cattle were nowhere to be found unless they were a special type of yak or stone sheep.
The only water source was the melted snow from the peak, which would only trickle down during summer.
If you want water in other seasons, you had to head up the peak and get it yourself.
There was only one ruler in a harsh plateau like this, the Barbarians.
That giant fortress was the work of Barbarians. It was their most important city, with one-third of their population living inside.
The only material within it was rocks, not even concrete. It was simple, but it clearly reflected the brutal attitude of Barbarians.
The most important thing within that fortress was a Barbarian's god of war temple. However, it seemed like their god of war had vanished long ago, leaving behind only a giant totem pole with the glory of god.
This totem pole was worshiped by all Barbarians as though as it was their god of war.
You could say this entire city was built around this 15 meters tall poliomyelitis, and the temple guarded it.
The totem pole would unleash a glow of god every 5 years. The Barbarians shined upon by the glow would become a professional Barbarian.
Therefore, every year countless young Barbarians were sent to the Battlecry city to get baptized by the glow of god.
This year was the year. There was still a month before the glow was unleashed, but many Barbarians were already on their way.
In a hidden cave within a valley 10 miles from the Battlecry City, 2 human magic circle makers set up a giant magic circle.
By their side was an enticed Barbarian. He was no ordinary Barbarian, and you could just tell by looking at his clothes.
"My Lord, I will soon return the Battlecry city to your grace!" He mumbled with a look of faith.
He gazed towards the magic circle with excitement. It was almost complete.
If Abel was not in the Dark World, his crystal angel statue would be able to hear this prayer.
Yes, this Barbarian was not the follower of their god of war, but the demons from beyond.
His name was Eddie, the young master of the Hooter family. The Hutton family had a secret. It was that they always traded with a mysterious organization.
Famine was very common in a harsh environment like Battlecry city. Then it had only gotten worse in recent years. Since other places in the Central Continent had it prepared, they were not affected too much.
However, the survival of Barbarians in the Battlecry plateau had become a problem.
Although the wizard union tried to help, they could only save the families with powerful professional Barbarians. For a family who had not cultivated a powerful Barbarian like the Hooter family, they did not get any support.
It was at that time. His family sent Eddie to trade some food with a mysterious organization.
Eddie was not a professional Barbarian. The glow of god 2 times blessed him, but it still didn't ignite any Barbarian talent within him.
Therefore he thought the god of war must have given up on him. How come so many Barbarians became professional Barbarians while a noble like him remained a normal Barbarian.
The member of that mysterious organization also knew something off about Eddie.
This mysterious organization was the Holy Kingdom's investigation department, and they remained a source of propaganda in the Central Continent. Since the Holy Kingdom was at war with the Central Continent, their investigation department has been growing in secret.
This unnoticeable Hooter family was one of their many targets. After the Holy Kingdom passed down the order, the investigation department had made a full move in the Hooter family.
The attack on the tree of life was also the work of their investigation depart. With their propaganda, they could easily allure a normal person into serving them.
When the Investigation department first traded with the Hooter Family, they realized Eddie was not a professional Barbarian but a normal one. They knew their opportunity had arrived.
Even if the Holy kingdom was scary, it was not easy to brainwash a professional.
They had a strong power of the will which was only strengthened by their training. Moving their soul would not be easy.
Therefore the Holy Kingdom would only target normal people with their propaganda. Eddie was perfect.
It was at that moment, a white light flashed on the giant teleportation circle, but it was not enough to ignite it.
The defense wall of Doomsday between the central Continent and the Holy Kingdom fully separated the teleportation force even though it was built of countless valuable resources and enchantments.
If they wanted to teleport successfully, they must first break the defense of the wall.
At that moment, a long cloaked deity in the temple clicked his scepter and a golden beam shot out from the Guardian Wings towards the giant teleportation circle.
"My Lord, please allow me to bring back your holy object!" The deity stabilized his mood and prayed.
The golden glow engulfed the white teleportation circle, filling every pattern with gold.
With the energy of god as support, they could go through the Wall of Doomsday even with a tiny bit of signal.
But of course, this did not go without risk. A legendary knight could enter the Central Continent this way unless their energy was hidden by more energy of god. It would directly cause a war between the legendaries.
However, considering the number of legendaries in this world, running into one in the Battlecry Plateau was unlikely. Therefore, only 5000 holy knights and 10 mad knights were enough to wipe out the Battlecry city.
"We are connected. The mad knights go first and the holy knights enter in a formation of 100!" Mad knight Mead lowered his voice.
9 mad knights speeded into the circle, and their bodies vanished in a flash of gold light.
The Holy knights then followed. They all kept quiet. Almost like they were war machines.
Just like that, groups of Holy knights were emerging with a flash in a cave outside of Battlecry city.
The first to step out was the 9 mad knights. They didn't even bat an eye on the human magic circle makers as though they were nonexistent.
Those being brainwashed were not even professionals. As real warriors of god, the weak were nothing to them.
The 9 mad knights each took out a pre-made barrier magic circle and quickly set it up around the valley. The cave could not hold 5000 knights, so they gathered around the valley.
Unlike the attack on the elves, there was not a single thing in their way.
The last person to go was Mad Knight Mead. When he stepped out of the magic circle, he gazed at Eddie.
"Good Job, the lord will be happy!" He said with a smirk.
"My lord, It is my honour to give everything to you!" Eddie dropped to his knees and mumbled as though he was blessed by the all mighty.
"I know you loathe the evil god of war. Today i will use the blood of Barbarians to wash this evil city. You did your part. Good job!" Mad knight Mead laughed.
"What about the Hooter family?" Although Eddie was brainwashed, he still cared deeply about his family.
"Didn't you say you will give everything to the lord? The Hooter family returns to his arms!" Mad knight Mead looked at him one last time and speeded out the cave.
Suddenly, Eddie felt a sharp pain in his chest. But soon, he forgot about it and began praying. With the lord by his side, his family didn't seem that important after all.
