Chapter 265 – The Die is Cast (3)
Kaaang!
The three blades bounced off each other, causing sparks to fly. Even if Fermut was injured, he wasn’t an easy opponent. As soon as the shock subsided, he raised his aura and pushed Randolph’s body away.
It was a dense aura which was disproportionate to his age.
Despite having a difference of nearly 10 years, Fermut’s swordsmanship didn’t lag behind Randolph’s.
“Tch, this bastard trying a surprise attack…!” Randolph stepped back and naturally stood close to Orta.
Randolph’s purpose was to assist Orta and his men.
It would’ve been good if the last blow had succeeded, but it was still good.
“Hey. Heal yourself quickly while he can’t move.”
“The first aid is done,” Orta replied before Randolph could finish his words.
Orta truly had a good ability as the captain of the intelligence unit.
While Fermut had been briefly tied up by Randolph’s sword, Orta had healed himself with a potion he carried. Unfortunately, he couldn’t expect to be completely healed right away.
“All trauma has been fixed, but the blood loss and magic power affected by aura can’t be reversed. By the way, I didn’t know you would come to help.”
“I was also surprised. My status is still unclear, but this is a critical mission. Meltor is a fairly flexible kingdom.”
“That― No, I’ll talk about it later.” Orta was about to explain but then stopped. He didn’t want to let Fermut know about Theodore’s survival.
Besides, there was one thing that made Orta more astonished than Randolph’s close timing. “…Honestly, I am more surprised about something else. You landed in such an ignorant manner without being hurt. Was the culprit Elder Shugel?”
“Ahh, that old man made me very nervous. I would’ve died if a mistake was made.”
The remaining magicians who knew what the two masters were talking about were shocked. Surely ‘that’ method hadn’t been used?
It was a strategy Meltor had been designed in the past to counter Andras.
Rutben and the other major cities in Andras had devices which interfered with magicians protecting the surrounding area, including the sky. Teleport would cause a catastrophe, so Veronica and the other magicians couldn’t survive in the opponent’s space where flying magic was ineffective.
For this reason, air operations over a city had never been adopted in actual combat.
