Blackmoon Castle.
Watson and his family were in the hall. Scarlet sat in between him and his eldest brother, Vincent. His parents, Edward and Catherine, were also with them. Wendy, dressed in a maid’s outfit, stood quietly behind Watson with a slightly worried expression on her face.
They could hear the sounds of the intense battle outside the castle.
“I can’t believe that these manor owners are jealous of Blackmoon Castle. It’s one thing for them to be jealous, but they had joined forces to attack us. They’re really trying to bully us.”
Edward’s fingers tapped the table impatiently. He looked furious.
He had been in his room trying to make babies with his wife, Catherine. However, Watson had announced that their enemies were prepared to invade them. He was so frightened that he pulled his pants up and rushed out.
“What are your thoughts?”
Vincent had a serious look on his face as he thought about Edward’s question.
“Since they want to fight, then we’ll fight. We can’t let them bully us.”
“But I heard that there are more than 5,000 allied forces on the farm,” Edward said.
Vincent hesitated for a moment; he closed his eyes and then opened them. His eyes looked firm as he said, “Whether they have 5,000 or 50,000 men, we’ll still have to fight them. They’re invading us because of their greed, not because of our mistakes! Even if we give them the castle and the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken, they will want more. I don’t think they will be satisfied.”
Humans were always like that; they had endless greed.
“Since we can’t make them satisfied, then we’ll beat them until they’re afraid.”
Vincent’s serious expression hid a heart full of fighting spirit.
Edward nodded as he looked at Watson. “I’ve heard Vincent’s thoughts. What about you? What do you think?”
“My thoughts are the same as Eldest Brother’s,” Watson said with a smile.
They were no longer the same Garry as they had been in the past, and the same could be said of Blackmoon Castle. Nevertheless, they had strength and money, so why should they not defend themselves?
“Since you have the same opinion, then it’s settled. We shall not tolerate their offence against us; otherwise, they will keep coming for more. I believe in your strength and judgment, but you must be careful. Your safety is more important than anything! If we can’t win, then we shall give them the castle. After all, this family will always have a future as long as we stay together.”
Edward tried to comfort them. His eyes lit up when he looked at Vincent and Watson; he was very proud.
“Yes, Father.”
Watson and Vincent stood up at the same time and walked out of the hall. Scarlet also took the longbow from her back. Her gaze was resolute as she followed them.
“Eldest Brother, you shall guard the castle entrance. Go with the Blackmoon Iron Cavalry; they will protect you.”
“Scarlet, go to the farm and release the Golden Flash! You can ride it and make the most of your archery skills. As for the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken, let it stay in the farm for now.”
Watson left the castle with his siblings as he issued their missions with a solemn expression.
The Rainbow Phoenix Chicken had the strength of a silver-tier beast, and it could be used as a fighting force. However, it was also very valuable; Watson had spent almost 10,000 hens to fuse it. They would suffer a significant loss if it were injured in the battle.
Vincent and Scarlet had no problems with Watson’s tasks for them.
There was only one problem.
Vincent asked, “Watson, what about you?”
Watson had sent the Blackmoon Iron Cavalry to protect him, and he had also sent the Golden Flash to protect Scarlet. Who would defend Watson?
Watson smiled. “Eldest Brother, have you forgotten that I’m already a gold-tier warrior! Other than that, I’m also a silver-tier mage. I don’t need anyone to protect me.”
“What I want to do is very simple. Just now, the mage outside had used magic to break through our walls! Even though these walls were made of dark jade stones, they’re not worth much. But it will take a lot of effort to repair them. Since he has the gut to attack us, then he must be prepared to bear my wrath!”
He wanted to use magic to deal with his enemy’s magic.
As Watson spoke, his blue eyes were filled with anger. From its usual calm surface of the sea, they had turned into roaring waves. Even Vincent, a silver-tier warrior, felt a chill down his spine when he felt the killing intent in his youngest brother’s eyes.
“Then let’s divide it like this.”
Vincent did not argue; he knew time was of the essence. He only told Watson to be safe. Then, he turned around and left the castle; he had blended with the 30 guards from the Blackmoon Iron Cavalry.
Scarlet had run obediently toward the farm to get the Golden Flash.
After his siblings had left, Watson spread the golden wings on his back and flew into the air where he could observe the battle.
It was daytime, so the effect of his light-elemental combat aura was the best for the situation. The castle gate had already been completely destroyed, with over 5,000 men fighting against 30 men from the Blackmoon Iron Cavalry. The Blackmoon Iron Cavalry had excellent equipment, and their strength was much more significant than their opponents—they could fight against 100 men at the same time. If any attack were to land on them, they would not be hurt at all.
However, they had to face 5,000 men simultaneously. At that moment, those 30 men hacked and slashed with their swords. They managed to cut three or four men in one go, and they punched outward to blow their opponent’s head into pieces. However, they were entangled by too many people who had appeared around them. Those people were envious of Blackmoon Castle, and they had already lost their rationality.
When Vincent joined the battle, the calm action immediately stirred into tidal waves.
He was a silver-tier warrior and had learned the light-elemental combat aura from Watson. At that moment, two golden wings that were more than a meter long had spread open on his back, where it shone under the sunlight. His left hand held a bronze-tier weapon that Watson had given him—the Windstorm Greatsword—while his right hand held the light-elemental combat aura’s inherent ability—the light weapon—which had transformed into a thin sword.
His body was covered in a silver-tier thorny vest. The barbs on it also had a dense light-elemental combat aura.
From his hair to the tips of his eyebrows, Vincent’s entire body had turned golden. He was like a god as he flew across the sky and reaped his enemies’ lives calmly.
He waved his left hand gently, and his Windstorm Greatsword would bring forth a storm that would blow those on their way toward the castle. The light weapon in his right hand was even more terrifying. The light ray could stretch more than ten meters, and it could cut anyone in its path neatly and with a burning smell.
“It’s a silver-tier warrior. Blackmoon Castle’s silver-tier warriors have appeared! Quick, focus your fire on him!”
The allied troops noticed Vincent’s bravery; they began to organize the people around him to deal with him.
They did not have a silver-tier warrior amongst them, and they could not fly, so they could not hit Vincent with regular attacks. However, they could release their combat aura into the sky to wrap their weapons and throw them.
For a moment, the colorful combat aura in the sky merged and whistled past Vincent. Then, the daggers and short spears that were mixed in the combat aura attacked Vincent.
Vincent only raised his eyebrows at the attacks. He did not dodge them, and he also took the initiative to greet them.
Bang!
Bang!
A series of chaotic sounds could be heard. Those men who had attacked Vincent fell onto the ground as their bodies twitched uncontrollably before their combat aura shattered. Watson was the one who remade Vincent’s thorny vest. It was a silver-tier defensive tool, and it could reflect attacks. So if those people were to attack him, it would mean that they were attacking themselves.
Vincent flew into the air, and wherever he passed, the allied forces fell.
“Be careful, Young Master Vincent. We’ll help you.”
The guards from Blackmoon Castle were much more confident when they saw Vincent’s strength. Allen and Liszt shouted before they spread their combat aura wings and flew into the sky.
When the allied troops heard their voices, they raised their heads, and their eyes widened with disbelief.
“Young Master Vincent? Shouldn’t it be Young Master Watson?”
“I heard that the Blackmoon Castle young master is very talented. He is already a silver-tier warrior at such a young age. I thought that it was him who flew into the sky just now. I thought that he looks a bit old, but it’s not him. There are already three silver-tier warriors in the sky, which means that including Watson, Blackmoon Castle has at least four silver-tier warriors.”
The allied troops knew that they were mistaken about Blackmoon Castle’s real strength. They were stronger than they had imagined. Then, they fell into major confusion.
