Chapter 319

"Luckily, we did not have a conflict with them . They are senior swordsmen," Christian commented . He felt a little scared in the aftermath . If this had happened when they just left Sacred City, with their fighting ability and experience, a whole legion could probably be wiped out when they had to fight with a senior swordsman .


"So what if he is a senior swordsman? Suzanna, I am not criticizing you, but . . . " Blavi suddenly realized something before he could finish talking . He immediately smiled at Suzanna . "I meant, if Niya had not act too impulsively, we would not have to experience that . We can just treat it as we are doing it for Niya to fulfill a wish for her . Christian, what do you think?"
"Baron Fruz has notified Flame Crusaders about our itinerary," Anfey said quietly . "If we are not ready for attacks, we could end up in serious trouble . Right now, the city master in Lagan City is really close with Flame Crusaders . "
Flame Crusaders was not a regular troop in the empire . The members of the Flame Crusaders had many different skills . They were cavalry, swordsmen, mages, and even knights of light from Church of Light . They wore uniformed armor when they were called in for a battle, but the organization was nevertheless very loose . There were no rules or restrictions for the Flame Crusader members . It is said that they had the freedom to join or leave Flame Crusaders at their will . Nominally, there was no leader in Flame Crusaders, and no one really knew who the power was behind the scenes . Yolanthe let Flame Crusaders grow without any interference .
Flame Crusaders used to have a free style . Flame Crusaders had a closer relationship with Prince Wester after Yolanthe claimed he was going to pick a qualified heir for his throne . Saul thought Philip must have his hand on Flame Crusaders . In other words, he was their behind-the-scenes leader . When Anfey’s legion escaped from Sacred City, Flame Crusaders were active and passionate in chasing his legion, while magic union garrisons did not bother Anfey’s legion much . If Anfey’s legion thought Philip had nothing to do with Flame Crusaders, they were just kidding themselves .
"It looks like you all want to go to Lagan City . Then let’s go," Christian sighed .
As they were talking about Flame Crusaders, Baron Fruz had slowly walked out of his house . About eight people dressed in swordsmen uniforms followed closely after him . Crazy Dog was one of them . Except for his gloomy face, he did not look any different than the others . He did not wear a swordsman’s badge, so he did not draw anyone’s attention .
Baron Fruz had a habit of walking around Lagan City along the main road after dinner every day . He liked this city . He knew someday he would take over the city . City master was not a hereditary position, but his father had been the city master of Lagan for over twenty years . He had his hand in everything in Lagan . If his dad wanted, he had the ability to have the city budget cut by more than half . In such a situation, it was better to have him to take over the city master job . Other royalty in the empire knew who controlled Lagan City anyway . No one would want to come to such a far-off place to look for trouble .
Baron Fruz’s habit was well-known . After dinner became the quietest time in Lagan City . At that time, people changed their behavior a little after dinner . No one would have any conflict with others on the street . Even the troublemakers and gangs chose to put a hold on their activities during that time . Women who needed to go out would choose to walk around in the alleys to avoid the bright main street .
Baron Fruz’s daily patrol was almost finished . He walked around a street corner . If he walked straight ahead, he could reach his house . He felt regret and sighed . In fact, he hoped there was something happening everyday that could allow him to prove his authority and power . Unfortunately, not only did nothing happen, he barely saw anyone on the street . He felt he could not release his passion .
Before Fruz could complete his sigh, Crazy Dog, who had blended in with the guards, suddenly looked up . At the same time, he started to run towards Fruz and knocked two swordsmen out of the way . He grabbed the startled Fruz as the sword in his right hand, covered in white combat power light, suddenly thrust forward .
An arrow flew towards them . They heard a sharp whooshing sound coming, but the arrow was knocked away by the sword . It looked easy to knock away an arrow, but it was very very hard to do . Sharp eyes, considerable experience, and short reaction time were all necessary . Of course, it was not a big deal for a senior swordsman like Crazy dog . He stared at the person on a roof in the distance .
Unexpectedly, the arrow actually was a magic arrow . The Wind Blade on the arrow was not affected by Crazy Dog’s block . It flashed and went in Baron Fruz’s thigh . Baron Fruz screamed in pain . He could not help falling to the ground .
Crazy Dog did not think Baron Fruz could get hurt . He was shocked for a second and started to look fierce . Seeing his master getting hurt, he knew he most likely would get blamed for it later, when Baron Fruz asked them to take responsibility for this accident . He could not think too much at that moment . He held his arms open and rushed in front of Fruz . His combat power had been performed to the maximum . He walked straight at the shooter in the distance . The rest of the guards stayed with Fruz . They did not want to make their master mad either .
Seeing Crazy Dog getting closer, the shooter did not seem to run away at all . The shooter casually pulled the bow . Crazy Dog could not help but feel worried . He had released his combat power to the maximum without holding anything back . Anyone could see he was a senior swordsman, but the shooter did not seem to care, nor had the intention to back off . Obviously, he had confidence to kill Crazy Dog . At that moment, Crazy Dog had no other option but to face the fight . He had enemies everywhere . If he made his master mad, he could end up having nowhere to go .


Thinking of this, Crazy Dog roared as loud as a tsunami . He jumped high and raised his sword to thrust forward . A crescent shaped sword radiance with many shadow tails shot out at the shooter’s chest . At the same time, Crazy Dog slowed his rapid advance . He speculated that the shooter would not just be a shooter . He wished to make the shooter make moves once he used his sword radiance .

Anfey let go of the bow . The arrow shot out fast . Anfey moved one step to the side to dodge Crazy Dog’s strike . He avoided Crazy Dog’s sword with almost no gap in between . Crazy Dog’s heart suddenly dropped . He felt desperate now . He had many risky moments in his life . If Anfey had avoided his sword in such a risky way, it showed that Anfey had amazing visual judgment and great confidence . If it were him, he would have moved a lot further away from the sword to feel safe .
A powerful opponent! Crazy Dog immediately made a judgement . He waved his sword to hit away Anfey’s arrow . Crazy Dog just let the Wind Blades hit against his combat power . To judge if a person was powerful, a person did not have to rely solely on combat power . Sometimes, one could tell from the way the opponent looked and behaved . Crazy Dog’s name had "Crazy" in it because he was so hot tempered that nobody could understand him . When he was in a fight, especially with a powerful opponent who could make him very sharp, he did not look crazy at all .
Crazy Dog paused for a second before he stepped onto the eaves . The tiles quickly turned to powder under his feet . He borrowed the momentum from it and rushed forward . The tip of the sword reflected bright and cold light and thrust towards Anfey’s chest . This move meant to test Anfey instead of attacking him, because Anfey looked too calm . Crazy Dog had a different attitude this time than with his first strike . He did not dare to attack with full force .
A person suddenly came up behind Anfey about eight yards away . She shot high into the sky like a Firework Flag . She fiercely swooped at Crazy Dog while he had all his attention on Anfey . When he realized he was at a disadvantage, he forced himself to stop running . Luckily, he did not attack Anfey with full force . He immediately turned from attacking to retreating . He slightly raised his sword . He posed as if he was ready to defend himself . He had to take some of his attention from Anfey in case the two of them attacked him together .
Two swords with the same radiance clashed together and made a huge clanging sound . The intense combat power stirred up the air currents around the swords . The air currents were clashing everywhere . Suzanna jumped high and did a backflip . She landed firmly on the roof . Crazy Dog jumped off quickly . He still looked like he was in a disadvantaged position .
However, Crazy Dog actually felt relieved . The eaves blocked his view and he did not see where Suzanna jumped to, but that did not stop him from sensing where she was . Crazy Dog sensed that there was another mage in the dark and the swordswoman was more powerful than him . Putting all this together, Crazy Dog already wanted to escape . He did not think he had any chance to win this fight . If a person could save a situation, he would be a hero, but it never would be him .


A fire wall suddenly appeared when Crazy Dog was about six yards off the ground . The fire devoured Crazy Dog, but he was prepared for magic . With his combat power, the fire wall could not hurt him .
As he continue to fall, Crazy Dog stared at what was above him in case there were more attacks . Just as he expected, Suzanna jumped off the roof and chased after him with her sword . Crazy Dog screamed loudly . As long as he could block this attack, he should be able to run to the alley nearby . He was familiar with the city so he could run in the small alleys . He did not think Anfey and Suzanna would go after him unless they wanted to kill the whole garrison in the city .
When his feet had just touched the ground, he felt something squishy and he kept falling down . Swamp magic? As soon as he realized this, Crazy Dog felt desperate right away . He could not figure out whether Anfey and Suzanna wanted to kill Baron Fruz or him . If they wanted to kill Baron Fruz, they should not have spent so much effort dealing with him . If they wanted to him, why would they attack Baron Fruz first? He could not spare time to think about that question . He roared angrily, trying to jump out of the swamp . However, the more he struggled, the faster he fell . In the blink of an eye, the swamp was up to his chest .
As Suzanna rushed to Crazy Dog, her sword left a white light shadow . She swung her sword at Crazy Dog’s head . Crazy Dog clenched his teeth as he released all the combat power he had left to block the sword . With a loud noise, Crazy Dog’s whole body had fallen into the swamp, with only half the sword swinging feebly above the swamp .
Blavi grinned from the roof on the other side . Swamp was his masterpiece! Although they had planned this out beforehand, Blavi was still proud of himself and felt excited, since what he did was decisive for this fight .
Anfey flew quickly down from the roof . He had a dark black spear in his hand . As the tip of the spear touched the ground, he threw himself at the panicked swordsman .
"Protect the baron!" a swordsman yelled . He pulled his sword out backhanded and positioned it in front of him, but he felt dizzy for a second . Anfey had thrust his spear into his mouth, and it pierced out from the back of his head before he had a chance to close his mouth .
Blavi did not rest . He kept releasing Lightning magic and killed a swordsman who was trying to flee as he saw the situation change . Once Suzanna joined the battle, no matter who wanted to fight back or who wanted to run away, they all turned into a group of feeble people without any fighting ability .
What surprised Anfey was Baron Fruz . He still looked proud, even though his eyes were filled with terror . He did not cry or beg to be let go . He only covered his wound on his thigh with his hand and sat there quietly . He was quiet for a while before he said with a trembling voice, "Why do you want to kill me?"
"It is your turn . " Anfey did not answer him, but turned to look at Christian . There was no rule that people needed to know the truth before they died . No matter in which world, there was just no such a rule .
Christian heaved a sigh and chanted in a low pitch . A big fireball flew out and hit Baron Fruz right in chest . Baron Fruz only had a chance to give half a scream as he rolled far away . When he stopped rolling, his upper body was charred .
"Let’s go . The garrison will come soon," Anfey said quietly . After he walked a few steps, he suddenly stopped . He sensed some movement from under the ground . After getting connected with the Heart of Nature, he did not take anything unusual for illusion anymore . He looked around and saw the sword Crazy Dog left on the ground . After the magic elements disappeared, the swamp had turned back into earth . Was it possible that Crazy Dog had not died yet?
Anfey gave Suzanna a look . Suzanna immediately understood . She jumped high and attacked the shaft of the sword on the ground with combat power . Dirt and gravel sprayed . Anfey clearly heard a smothered scream in pain .
"One more," Anfey said .
Crazy Dog was buried underground, but he did not die . He was in incredible pain and agony . He did not know why they would not let him go at this point . As the ground shook intensely again, Crazy Dog started to lose conscious . Everything seemed to fall into darkness .
