Chapter 39: Battle of Harbor Town

Translator: Lonelytree

At midnight, in Harbor Town, the people who had been sleeping soundly were awakened by the fierce fire and the noisy crows.

“Fire…It’s on fire…”

” Help! Someone save me!”

After more than ten years of peace, the residents of Harbor Town, who were suddenly attacked, immediately fell into chaos. The streets were in chaos, and screams and shouts resounded in every corner of the town.

At this moment, Lin En was standing on the roof of a house, his eagle-like eyes looking in the direction of the fire.

This was the first-circle spell, [Griffin’s Farsightedness].

It could allow a mage to have the accurate long-distance vision of a griffin for a short period of time.

In the past few days in Harbor Town, apart from collecting intelligence and making black gunpowder, Lin En did not neglect his study of new magic. He had already flipped through the book ” Basic Magic and its Uses “.

“Is it Joni and the pigeon?” Lin En muttered to himself as he stared at the flock of gray crows and the figure leaping in the fire.

Did they escape already?

Wait a minute…

Lin En soon noticed that something was wrong. The two mages did not look like they had been tortured.

Perhaps… They didn’t escape.

Instead, they were preparing to enter the harbor town prison to save people!

Lin En instantly thought of this possibility and frowned.

Before tonight’s operation, he had thought of dozens of possible unexpected situations that could happen. He had even predicted that the Holy Court would set up traps in the port town tonight, waiting for him to fall into the trap.

However, he hadn’t expected that Antioch would dare to make this announcement without having any actual mage in his captivity.

The Archbishop was undoubtedly making a huge bet that the few Apprentices would not be able to meet up with each other. Otherwise, tomorrow’s public ceremony would become a complete joke.

One had to know that there was a true god in this world. If God found that she had been tricked, it would be no different from blasphemy!

Obviously, the archbishop had made the right bet. Although he did not step into the pit, Joni and Pigeon had stepped into the mine for him!

But since the two mages were not arrested, who was the one who leaked the information about the Boat Gang?

The fact that Antioch had personally come to Port Town, sealed the port, and taken various measures against the Boat Gang couldn’t be faked. This was also one of the reasons why he believed that the two of them might have been arrested.

While he was deep in thought, the crows above the harbor town became weaker and weaker, which meant that Joni and Pigeon could not hold on any longer.

Lin En was not in a hurry to take action because there were only a few hundred guards surrounding the two mages. Archbishop Antioch and the three thousand elite guards had not appeared on the battlefield.

This was also bait, and he was the big fish that Antioch wanted to catch…

“071, with the current situation, if we fight head-on, what are our chances of winning?” Lin En asked in his heart.

His biggest trump card was the massive amount of black gunpowder he had placed on the dock. As long as he used the information gap and the convenience brought by magic shaping to attract Antioch and the others to the dock, he could blow them up into the sky. However, it seemed that this goal would be difficult to achieve.

[The estimated winning rate is lower than the safety threshold. According to the agreement target, aliens should not be included in the protection target. According to the Federal Citizen Life Safety Act, your first priority should be to protect yourself!]

Lin En was silent for a while before asking again. “Then, can you analyze why Joni and Pigeon risked their lives to enter Harbor Town?”

[Calculating: 97% probability… They’re here to save you, sir!]

“So you know what, 071?” Lin En looked at the flames in the distance and muttered to himself in his mind.

“Sometimes, aliens are humans too!”

..

At the same time, in the church of Harbor Town, Archbishop Antioch was staring at the chaos in Harbor Town.

The faint screams and wails that came from their ears made the priests present to change their expressions. However, it was as if Antioch did not hear it as he turned to ask Adrian.

“How is it? Did you get any useful clues from interrogation in the past few days?”

“Lord Bishop, someone has placed a powerful psionic spell in York’s brain. I have tried several methods, but I have not been able to break through this restriction.” Adrian explained in embarrassment.

A few days ago, when the archbishop personally led the elite guards to hunt down the devil worshippers, he led his men to attack Ur Town. According to the information he got from Will, he went to the [Drunkard] Tavern and captured Old York, who hadn’t escaped in time.

However, what disappointed Adrian was that the man’s brain was protected by some kind of psionic magic. When he released divine spells to investigate, he almost erased the man’s mind.

The only thing he found was some information about a secret room in the [Drunkard] Tavern.

“No worries, we will soon have a new source of information,” Antioch said casually, not blaming Adrian.

“Archbishop, should we continue to increase our manpower? If this continues, these two mage-apprentices might escape from our control.” Adrian looked at the chaos in the west of Harbor Town and asked carefully.

Due to someone controlling the gray crows to set fire to the granary of Harbor Town, most of the guards stationed there were sent to put out the fire. Only two priests and 300 guards were responsible for the pursuit.

If this continued, more and more civilians would be affected…

Adrian silently swallowed the second half of his sentence. He had never agreed with the bishop’s move to set the battlefield in the port town. This would only put the townspeople who had no ability to resist into danger.

“Now is not the time to make a move, Adrian!” With a stern look on his haggard face, he stared at the priest in front of him and spoke again. “A moment of mercy will only cause an even more terrifying disaster.

” The hellfire burning outside Ur Town hasn’t been extinguished yet. If we can’t catch that mage named Carl this time, such a terrifying scene will probably repeat itself in every corner of Nordland Domain.

“The merciful Lord will forgive our mistakes.”

Looking back at the fire burning in the sky above the port town, he chanted in an extremely hoarse tone.

“May their souls return to the Holy Land and receive eternal protection. May their true souls not fall into the abyss of the devil…”

The priests in the church showed pity on their faces. Soon, they began to sing melodious hymns together, wishing the townspeople who had died in this conflict and suffered endless hardships in their lives to be reborn in the Lord’s Holy Land…
