Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The mercenaries in the White Mountain City were immersed in excitement . Comparatively, soldiers in Blackwater City were in a much more down mood, even though Manstuly and elf pharaohs tried hard to boost their morale . The uprising of the League of Mercenaries and the death of Scarlet had caused anxiety and fear in the Blackwater City's people .

Manstuly enjoyed a high reputation among the wolf druids . If he were compared to the top powers on the Pan Continent, he was not even as good as the archmage Michael from the Ellisen Empire . If Anfey could kill archmage Michael, it made sense that people believed Anfey definitely could kill Manstuly no matter how Manstuly argued about it or denied it . Even the wolf druids were pessimistic about it .

In the valley about 40 miles away from Blackwater City, a patrol was walking over the fresh green grass . The spring breeze was warm and the snow on the ground had melted away . The whole plain and hills had put on a new green dress and looked lively .

There was a saying: "It did not seem like work if men could be paired with women to work with . " This patrol was composed of three female elves, four male elves, and four mercenaries . They talked and laughed as they travelled . They were more touring than on a mission . Elves were very proud, especially those three female elves . They were nice to their peers but only exchanged a few conversations with the mercenaries out of courtesy .

When they walked out of the valley, Blackwater River laid in front of their eyes . A male elf, who looked like the leader of this group, raised his voice, "Okay guys, we have to go back after taking a quick tour . "

"The view here is breathtaking," a female elf said with a smile . On the other side of Blackwater River was an endless prairie, like a pure and clean green carpet . The elves used to live in the forest and had never had the chance to see how grand the prairie could be . They felt so refreshed .

"It would be great if we could stay here forever," another female elf exclaimed .

AdvertisementThe third female elf was not in the mood to appreciate the prairie . Her eyes were fixed on something above her . A man in a white magic gown stood on the tree branch, glaring at them coldly . He had a gigantic ax in his hand and looked at them without any emotion . He seemed to treat everyone like a rock .

"Who are you?" the female elf raised her voice and asked .

The others all turned around to follow her eyes . A swirling ax flying down at them with rushing element currents in waves became their answer . The warm spring breeze became chilly . The freshness of the spring air was replaced by blood .

The element currents disappeared in the blink of an eye . Eleven people in the patrol died before they could do anything about the element currents . They did not even have the chance to send out magical help signals . The power difference between Anfey and themselves was huge .

Anfey quietly watched the blood beads drip from the ax . He looked like he was waiting for something or thinking deeply . After a while, he thought out loud with a frown . "Manstuly, you don't plan on being a chicken, do you?"

Anfey intensified the element currents on purpose so that Manstuly would sense it since he was only less than forty miles away from Blackwater City from here .

However, within his sensing range, about eight different patrol teams went the opposite direction from him . They all retreated to Blackwater City . Obviously, they were told what to do when they found anything wrong .

Anfey employed the strategy that had been used in the war between the human league and death spirits . This strategy used senior warriors to strike the opponent with their highest flexibility . This strategy looked simple but had many different small variations in it .

Sometimes, an archmage would suddenly show up in the sky above death spirits and leave right away after releasing large-scale destructive magic .

Sometimes, two master swordsmen would be busy killing death spirits and forget about leaving the battle, but they would leave from a suddenly-opened Dimensional Door once necromancers came to help the death spirits . A group of top powers would force the reinforcement necromancers to stay where they were forever with their magic .

Sometimes, a group of top powers attacked the end of the death spirits' army . When necromancers hurried over to help, those top powers would suddenly fly away before they even reached the end of the army . More top powers would attack the front of the death spirit army . Those necromancers would suddenly realize they fell into those top powers' trap and would immediately allocate necromancers to help the front of the army . The necromancers sent to help the back of the army would be sent back, but the back of the army got attacked again . Those top powers would employ the Vacuum Time so they could release a few Forbidden Spells with casualty and left without any hurry .

Human wisdom was so powerful that the strategies they developed were varied . They always seemed to be able to have new ideas . Anfey decided not to employ many strategies . He only wanted to lure Manstuly out .

It was risky for Anfey to sneak into White Mountain City . However, it was different than before . Once Anfey had entered the level of Da Dao, he became a saint . Before he reached the level of Da Dao, he was just a human . When he practiced with Suzanna before, he had to try really hard to be her match, but now he could definitely feel he was a lot better than her .

Anfey's aim was to kill as many senior level druids and elves as possible by himself . He hoped he could run into Manstuly and kill him in the fight . There was another reason that he did not bring Suzanna with him to Blackwater City . It had something to do with his advancement to a Saint .

Anfey wanted to have the supreme power, but he refused to evolve his emotions into the emotionless "Dao" level, which was contradictory to the principle of Da Dao . He did not want to kill the patrol, which had nothing to do with civilization or humanity . It was only because of his laziness and aloofness . Maybe he would only be passionate about a fight if there was someone as good as him . Anfey knew well the reason he had these emotional changes was because of the influence of Dao . He did not think it was right .

People usually did not know what they had until it was gone . Anfey had already had a taste of this . When his parents had been alive, he did not practice hard . The only reason he practiced was that he wanted to impress his friends and classmates . He did not understand how precious it was to have parents urge him to learn every day until his had passed away .

Anfey had Suzanna in his life now . He had been picturing their future . If he could not change his emotions, he would end up as a person with no emotions . He could give up anything in this world, including Suzanna . If this were the case, it would be pointless no matter how powerful he became .

Anfey was terrified of loneliness . It might be because he had been by himself for so long . No one understood what Anfey had to fight against— not only the seductions from women, but also his own heart .

A group of mercenaries, about forty of them, all rode horses and rushed into Anfey's sensing range . They rode very fast towards Anfey . Their appearance seemed out of nowhere . Other patrols had retreated to the station, which showed the city master's conservative attitude . The appearance of this group of mercenaries definitely shocked Anfey, especially when there seemed to be no top powers among them that Anfey should pay attention to .

Anfey suddenly remembered something . He took out a paper scroll from his Dimensional ring . There were a dozen faces painted on the scroll . The head of that group of mercenaries was one of the faces . Anfey had gotten very few pieces of information from Blackwater City since Manstuly and elves took control of it, but he still had previous information about Blackwater City . For example, the paintings of Mourtta and Hotchbini's children .

"Is he the youngest son of Hotchbini, Beach? He came at the right time," Anfey thought out loud and smiled .

Anfey's sensing range had already reached dozens of miles now so he had to wait a while for those mercenaries to ride their horses over the hill . Luckily it did not take them too long with the help of the horses . "Ashley, Ashley," a worried voice suddenly stopped at the Blackwater river . Over forty mercenaries all focused on the bodies lying everywhere on the ground .

"Hi, everybody . " Anfey had to say something to remind them of his existence . He looked up to check the time . "Good afternoon, everyone . "

The mercenary in the front stared at one elf's body . He jumped off the horse and rushed at Anfey . Luckily, his fellow mercenaries were not that focused . A few mercenaries immediately held him back and then looked at Anfey in alarm .

"You did not kill them, did you?" The mercenary in the front had not noticed Anfey until now . He yelled in anger .

"Are you Beach? Do your parents know you are here?" Anfey asked in a low pitch without answering Beach's question .

"I asked you if you killed them!" Beach was so furious that he pulled out his sword backhanded .

"Go back and tell Hotchbini . " Anfey pointed at one mercenary . Beach did not answer Anfey . "I know Hotchbini has been busy lately . I do not want to cause any inconvenience for her, but I have no other option . You come at just the right time, don't you? Help me pass my apology to Hotchbini . "

"I am f*cking asking you . Did you—" Beach's yelling was interrupted by his peers . The mercenaries stared at the ax in Anfey's hand . The cut-off limbs everywhere on the ground seemed to be enough evidence to prove what kind of weapon the killer had used . In addition, there was blood on the ax .

A few mercenaries dragged Beach back while more mercenaries pulled their swords out and surrounded Anfey . One mage had already started to chant . A big fireball appeared in the sky and shot at Anfey . One middle-aged mercenary yelled as he rushed towards Anfey: "Protect our lord and leave!"

The vicious-looking big fireball suddenly stopped when Anfey casually waved his hand . The fireball was like a well-behaved basketball and fell in Anfey's hand . Anfey weighed it and tossed the fireball back at the mage .

The mage almost popped out when he saw this . The next moment, the fireball he released hit him .

"You can only leave with my permission . " Element currents suddenly prevailed around Blackwater river again after Anfey said it .
