Chapter 587 The Behemoth Clan's Pillars
Everyone in the town knew that an attack was coming at one point or another. Thanks to Bubble's news industry, he had spread reports about what had happened on the day of the wedding.
How Sha Mo had called out the Dark Magus, making it clear to everyone that he was his enemy and he would get rid of him.
The quotes from Belil were also said, and although Bubble did his best to interpret them in the news report, everyone was more so guessing about his plan.
Was Belil really going to abandon a new member of his joint family along with his daughter?
The Dark Magus was a famous Alchemist that could be useful to any of the big clans. Why would the Neverfall Clan allow such a person to slip through their fingers?
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Because of these types of thoughts, the citizens of the place were hoping that it wouldn't be true, that a fight wouldn't happen on their grounds.
"Everyone quickly, move to the town hall if you don't want to get caught up in this mess!" Yarlston shouted. "If there isn't enough space inside, make sure you stay indoors and keep an eye on what's going on!"
"Wait, we should be okay, right? We're not Pagna warriors, we're citizens, we're protected by the code! They won't attack us!" One of the citizens said in the middle of his running, as if he had made a realization.
But his friend quickly pulled him.
"Are you an idiot? Sure, that code exists, but you need to use your common sense. Who are we to the kingdom we are in right now? We are nothing to them."
"They would much rather have a clan like the Behemoth Clan in their good books. In the middle of fighting between two clans, if some people die, they won't care about us or declare war on the Pagna warriors. So, let's move so they can't do such a thing!"
A lot of the citizens were hoping that it wouldn't come to this for a few reasons. One, they liked the Crimson Crane since they had arrived.
Although it had only been a short while, almost a week, they had never had the freedom to not worry about food. To work on their town, and even speak to others without worrying about what to eat the next day.
Their minds were finally cleared just for an instant of a big worry? No clan before had done such a thing, and if the Behemoth Clan defeated the Dark Magus there was no telling what would happen once they took over, maybe they would even be abandoned because the land meant nothing apart from one portal location near to it that they were clinging onto.
After hearing word of what was happening, The Crimson Clan was quick on the move. They had ordered the group of two hundred people that they had been training until now.
Where empty desert red land could be seen, the Crimson Crane members jumped from where they were onto the top of a nearby two-story house and looked out in the distance.
They could see the dust moving off far, and over the horizon an enormous amount of people.
"Is that... is that how many people they brought!" Lily shouted.
"From the looks of things, there have to be about one thousand people," Reno replied.
"One thousand, isn't that too much for us to go up against, with our army of two hundred and us?" Tilon nervously said.
"Hey, numbers don't always win fights!" Alba shouted back at them, she was worried that the army below could hear them squabbling.
Right now, the only people they could rely on were the Crimson Crane, so they couldn't show that they felt this way.
"We need to look at what is in front of us, can you see, there is no sign of Sha Mo, he hasn't even bothered to be involved in this attack," Alba claimed.
"Right," Fixteen nodded. "If he did get involved then it would be embarrassing for him. The Dark Magus has spread his name mostly as an alchemist."
"Everyone should be aware of the situation in Flendon Town. If he had to get himself involved, it would ruin his reputation."
There was more Fixteen wanted to say when he looked Alba in the eyes, but he didn't dare say it.
Although Sha Mo hadn't arrived, among those in the army that was coming towards them, there were two Elites from the Clan coming his way.
They were in line to take over the Clan if anything ever happened to Sha Mo, that was how strong they were considered.
Strong middle-stage warriors, Yanin, and Polter. Two pillars that went beyond the Behemoth Clan's large number were coming to attack them, which showed how much business Sha Mo meant.
"This is why the Dark Magus called us back here, because he knew we needed to help defend this place, so let's defend it!" Alba said, drawing her two swords from her back.
