After a while, Liens let go of his hand that was on the City Lord's chair.
"It's done."
"I have closed the ritual and changed its control condition from requiring a specific bloodline to inputting a specific command to control the switch."
"This ritual is still somewhat useful; destroying it directly would be too wasteful, so I just modified it."
"The command is *******; you can tell Ben the command later."
"Next, you'll stay here and watch over the ritual core, and by the way, keep an eye on this City Lord Paul; his identity should be somewhat useful."
"I should go to the city gate to check the situation. I hope those guards are sensible enough."
Liens said to Reid with a joyful smile, as if he had just solved a difficult math problem.
"The guards at the city gate have already surrendered, so you probably don't need to take action anymore."
"Oh, really? Then I only have one more thing to do tonight."
Liens said indifferently, his gaze directed somewhere, then he disappeared from the hall.
After Liens left, everyone present, whether Paul or the guards, breathed a sigh of relief. After all, being near an existence that could kill them at any moment was not a good feeling.
But before they could relax for long, Reid immediately bound them with shadow magic, then took out a communication crystal and explained the situation here to Ben.
"I understand."
After listening to Reid's explanation, Ben indicated that he understood and put down the communication crystal, leading the Rebel Army through the Inner City gate, then allocating personnel to take over various areas of the Inner City.
"I warn you, if a situation like the one in the Outer City happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless. We are the Rebel Army, not reactionaries. I hope you can recognize the difference between the two."
"No matter who it is, if your hands are not clean or if you can't control that thing below your waist, I can send you to meet Eke's group of people."
Ben sternly said to the Rebel Army's high-ranking officials and the entire Rebel Army.
"Gars, please guard these prisoners of war and garrison the city gate. If any unexpected situation requiring assistance occurs, immediately use the communication crystal to notify Reid."
"His magic can quickly bring us back here."
Ben then instructed Gars.
"Understood."
Gars nodded seriously, indicating he understood.
After making arrangements, the Rebel Army began to split into four routes. One part remained at the city gate to guard, while the other routes went to the northwest, northeast, and north, respectively.
The largest number of people were in the north, because not only was the nominal City Lord there, but also the actual "City Lord" - the Glenbagen Family.
Even though the Glenbagen Family seemed to have given up resistance and chosen to evacuate, the Glenbagen Family's station might still pose a great danger.
It's not ruled out that the Glenbagen Family left a big surprise for the Rebel Army before evacuating.
"Quite ruthless."
Following the killing intent he sensed, Liens found the switch to detonate the "bomb" and turned it off.
This "bomb" was composed of a large number of magic stones, with a certain condition set through a magical array. Once the condition was triggered, a large number of magic stones would instantly explode, causing an elemental explosion and an elemental surge.
This explosion posed a great danger to both ordinary people and Extraordinary Ones.
Moreover, the elemental surge had a large affected area, directly causing a radiation-like effect on the surrounding area.
Extraordinary Ones were fine, but ordinary people swept by this elemental turbulence would experience a great health crisis, ranging from hair loss to severe illness, or even death.
The Glenbagen Family set the trigger condition as someone breaking into the treasury. They knew they couldn't take so many things away.
So, based on the principle that their own things absolutely could not be taken by outsiders, they set up this explosive device. It was even very likely that they had a contingency plan early on, otherwise it would be difficult to complete this "bomb device" in such a short time.
If he hadn't come first, the potential consequences would have been difficult to clean up.
After turning off the "bomb" and carefully sensing to confirm that the Glenbagen Family had no other major crises, Liens searched for traces of the Glenbagen Family's evacuation through aura sensing.
There was a difference in the traces left by Extraordinary Ones and ordinary people, plus the traces left by many people gathered together.
Soon, Liens discovered the secret passage used by the Glenbagen Family to evacuate, but the secret passage had been blown up and blocked, but this did not stump him.
Through the wind, Liens pinpointed the direction the secret passage led to.
"That way, huh."
Liens looked up at the mountains to the north, feeling not too surprised. Compared to the plains and wilderness to the southeast and west, the northern mountains were more secluded.
After finding the direction, Liens immediately pursued them, relying on his speed and the advantage of ignoring terrain from high altitude. It didn't take him long to intercept the Glenbagen Family in a mountain forest.
"We meet again, Instructor."
Liens descended from the sky and greeted Leinajin.
Seeing Liens's figure, Leinajin's pupils constricted, and his expression became extremely serious, while others who knew of Liens's existence had similar expressions. They all protected their families behind them.
Similar to Adonis, the Extraordinary Ones of the Glenbagen Family were either of the Glenbagen Family bloodline or had joined the Glenbagen Family through marriage.
This included Leinajin.
"Can you spare the women and children?"
Leinajin said in a deep voice.
"Sorry, I'm here to cut the grass and pull out the roots... However, I will let them die painlessly."
Liens shook his head, coldly refusing Leinajin's request.
"Alas, I've already remembered who you are."
"I didn't expect a mere trainee from half a year ago to grow to such an extent. Is this a blessing or a curse for the Training Camp?"
"The Glenbagen Family was ultimately annihilated by the dark guards they themselves trained."
"This fate is truly unpredictable."
Leinajin sighed.
After speaking, he instantly drew his long sword and rushed towards Liens. Behind him, several other Extraordinary Ones of the Glenbagen Family attacked Liens with him.
The other Extraordinary Ones each carried or hugged several people and fled in all directions.
As for the remaining people, they could only give up... They knew that Liens, this powerful existence capable of killing the Earl, was not someone they, the remaining few, could contend with.
So, upon seeing Liens, their thought was to escape if possible, at least to prevent the Glenbagen Family from being wiped out.
Facing the sudden attack and the fleeing personnel, Liens's expression was calm, without any movement.
But an invisible slash, accompanied by the pressure of heaven and earth, descended upon these Extraordinary Ones.
Facing this sudden slash, most of the Extraordinary Ones couldn't react and were instantly struck in the body.
Although the power of the slash was not very great and did not harm their bodies protected by armor or magic shields, the force it contained directly forced them back.
Relying on his sword fighting instincts, Leinajin blocked the blow from heaven and earth, but looking at Liens, who was staring at them with calm eyes, despair involuntarily arose in his heart.
An incomprehensible attack, with no elemental fluctuations, coming from nowhere.
Although Liens made no movement, he felt that this place had been completely controlled by the other party.
Liens took a step, instantly appearing before Leinajin, and swung his sword. In an instant, Leinajin only saw a flash of light pass before his eyes, then a chill on his neck.
"Goodbye, Instructor."
"Thank you for your guidance. This sword is my reciprocation to you."
Liens's indifferent voice entered Leinajin's ears.
Subsequently, Leinajin saw his vision begin to slide, and the surrounding scenery also seemed to rise.
"Heh, am I going to die...? The difference is truly vast."
"Earl, I'm coming to find you. I hope you won't blame me for not protecting the family well."
Leinajin's consciousness gradually blurred.
"I don't blame you."
In the final moments of his Life, Leinajin seemed to see the Earl comforting him, so he showed a smile without regret.
After dealing with Leinajin, Liens swiftly killed the remaining Extraordinary Ones of the Glenbagen Family one by one with his sword. Finally, he came before Adonis and swung his sword down.
This time, no accidents occurred.
Watching Adonis's head roll before his eyes, listening to Heidi's desperate wails beside him.
Liens felt a little dazed.
"He died just like that?"
Liens murmured to himself in surprise.
Although somewhat surprised, Liens's movements did not stop. Subsequently, he also sent Heidi to accompany Adonis with a single sword strike.
