After finding out where the three head honchos of the Dark Association were being held captive through the memories of Cardinal Daniel, Yang Ling and Elder Klive gathered the elites and rapidly headed toward the underground jail situated deep within the castle.
Seeing the highest-ranking person in the castle, Cardinal Daniel, get killed, the men of the Church knew that they have already been defeated, completely losing their will to battle. Some of them hid in fear, while others fled for their lives through the other two gates. Only a minority of the fanatic followers of the Church put up a stubborn resistance before getting completely eradicated by the allied forces of the Dark Association and the Magical Beast Army. Soon after, other than the last of the resistance, the entire Iron Edge Castle had completely fallen.
Other than a few who had fortunately managed to escape, the fifty thousand reserve forces within the Iron Edge Castle had mostly died by the hands of the allied forces! Amongst those, nearly half of them had died by the Magical Beast Territory’s crossbow-wielding soldiers and the Magical Beast Army.
The war machines of the Magical Beast Territory have fully shown their might in this battle.
Magic Crystal Cannons that could destroy anything, Pear Blossom Crossbows that could cover anyone in arrows, as well as the blanketing numbers of the Magical Beast Army…These completely crumbled the will of the Church’s knights who had managed to escape. The images of the Twin-legged Flying Dragons about the size of a small hill, violent, bloodthirsty Dark Dragons, as well as the Giant Apes that could crack open the heads of the Death God Puppets one by one were all etched deeply into their hearts.
Several years later, the knights of the Church who had managed to escape could still see these images fresh in their minds. Many of them did not dare step into the forests where Magical Beasts roamed for the rest of their lives. They would instinctively remember that bloody, terrifying scene whenever they saw a roaring Magical Beast!
The Iron Edge Castle was humongous. There were barracks, a Church, as well as a bar that had been specially built for this place. It was decorated opulently, just like all of the other buildings of the Church. Crystalline chandeliers could be seen at every corner, and there were no cracks on the glossy marble walls. It looked like the Church had spent a great deal of effort over the millennia in order to fortify the defenses of the Iron Edge Castle.
Unfortunately, just as there was no unbreakable shield in this world, there was no impenetrable fortress either!
This was just like the so-called impenetrable Maginot Line in French history, which was as helpless as a tender lady when faced with the tanks of the German forces. No one expected Yang Ling to bring over a hundred Magic Crystal Cannons. No one expected Yang Ling’s Magical Beast Army to have such terrifying battle capabilities, with even the Death God Puppets not being a match for it!
There were two jail facilities within the Iron Edge Castle. One was near the army barracks and was primarily used to house ordinary cultists. The other was built deep underground and was hailed as an underground jail where the sun never shines. The entrance to the facility was underneath the foot of a giant statue of an angel. Not only was the entrance well hidden, but it was also extremely well guarded. Even a mosquito would have difficulty entering the area, much less a living human.
Unfortunately, the forces of the Church had been defeated!
After the castle fell, the guard unit that stood guard over the area had long vanished. They were either perceptive enough and had sneakily escaped the castle, or they were mobilized by their commander to act as cannon fodder and have died by the hands of the allied forces!
The statue of the angel was massive and had a total of twelve wings. It was donning a layer of crystalline armor. It wielded a giant sword, its wings seemingly about to take flight. It was awe-inspiring and lifelike as if it were a real person. Sinister wind buffeted the entrance to the underground jail facility under its feet. It looked deep beyond comprehension, like a bottomless hole, or like a massive creature opening its gaping mouth.
“Yang Ling, are you sure that the Chief Elder and the rest are being locked in this underground facility?” With success in sight, with them almost completing the thousand-year-old wish of the Dark Association, Elder Klive became even more nervous.
“According to a reliable source of intelligence, major criminals are all locked up here. However, there is an Angel Army within the facility. It might be difficult to save the Chief Elder and the rest successfully…” Yang Ling became silent in deliberation as he looked at the massive statue of the angel.
According to the memories of Cardinal Daniel, there was an Angel Army stationed within the underground jail facility, responsible for looking over the major criminals of the Church. Compared to the Death God Puppets, the battle abilities of the Angel Army was even greater. No one knew what kind of accident would befall them if they were to charge into the facility recklessly.
Angel Army?
The expressions of the group changed when they heard Yang Ling say this, Elder Klive being no exception. Having done battle with the Church for several thousand years, he knew better than Yang Ling how terrifying the battle capabilities of the Angel Army was. Even though they were all a clone of the Strength Angels on the Tailun Continent and had only one percent or even a tenth of a percent of their main bodies, an angel was not something an ordinary person could deal with, much less a group of them!
While the Dark Association was at its peak, the Dark Knights that descended unto the Tailun Continent had strong abilities and did not pale in comparison to even the greatest angels. However, ever since their strength had waned under the surprise attacks of the Church, the priests no longer had the ability to summon powerful Dark Knights. Even if they managed to summon a few of them forcefully, there was no way that they would be a match for the entire Angel Army of the Church.
“Anderson, lead your cavalry and open up a path in front of us!” Elder Klive gave a decisive order after a moment’s deliberation. The Angel Army had powerful abilities. However, in order to save the Great Elder, Great Priest, and Great Commander of the Dark Cavalries, he had no other choice!
“Ashnamov, lead the soldiers and follow behind them!” After ordering Ashnamov to lead the soldiers of the Magical Beast Territory to follow behind them, Yang Ling hesitated no longer, entering the sinister underground jail facility with Elder Brent, the Corpse Wizard King, Elder Klive and the rest of the group.
In order to move around more conveniently, and be able to surprise the enemies within the jail facility with a heavy attack at the critical moment, he kept the Magical Beasts like the Flying Dragons and Giant Apes, only leaving behind the Dark Dragon King the Purple Rat Little Ice and the rest of the Five Great Wizard Guards. Even the weakest two-winged angels had abilities greater than sage level. If a large group of angels was to charge out toward them suddenly, their battle capabilities would be nothing to scoff at. He had to keep his guard up.
The underground jail facility was enormous, with a crystalline light placed a set distance apart. They saw weapons and armor scattered on the ground from time to time. It looked like these were items left behind by the deserters. However, strangely, every jail cell was empty, with no criminals in sight. There were also no signs of an Angel Army. It seems as though they had never appeared, or that they have fled the fallen Iron Edge Castle together with the rest of the deserters.
“Yang Ling, could your information be wrong?” Wielding the Staff of Darkness, Elder Klive looked at Yang Ling with doubt.
The Staff of Darkness is the treasure of the Dark Association. Not only did it harbor a pulsing Dark Energy, but it could also detect ripples of Dark Energy in the surroundings. It was rumored to be a treasure passed down by the King of Darkness. If the Great Elder of the Dark Association was indeed locked in this underground jail facility, there was no way that the Staff of Darkness would not react!
Could Cardinal Daniel have made a mistake?
Yang Ling was silent in deliberation, then shook his head with determination. According to Daniel’s memories, the underground jail facility was guarded personally by the Angel Army. Without the orders of the Pope, no one was to enter or exit the area freely.
As the highest in command within the Iron Edge Castle, even though Daniel could not mobilize the Angel Army guarding the underground jail, it was not possible for him to make a mistake on general knowledge such as this. The only explanation was that there was a secret passageway or Magical Spell Formation within the underground jail facility and that the Angel Army had cleverly hidden in a bid to buy time and await the arrival of reinforcements from the Holy City.
“Hmph, I do wish to see where exactly they are hiding at!” Yang Ling let out a cold grunt and took out the Great Wizard Altar before leaping onto it and sitting cross-legged. He then silently recited a Wizard Mantra, quickly casting the Wizard Technique, Seeing Through the Earth.
In ancient times, in order to deal with demons and monsters from all areas, the Soul Wizards had developed the Wizard Technique Seeing Through the Earth. Even though it expended a substantial amount of Wizard Power and Mental Energy, none of the invisible demons could hide in front of the wizards.
As waves of fervent incantation rang out, strange energy ripples filled the air of the underground jail. The air around the Great Wizard Altar rippled, its waves spread far and wide, one after the other. Soon, the group realized to their shock that there was a massive tunnel at a dark corner, with an intense aura of light coming from within. The Staff of Darkness in Elder Klive’s hands trembled in agitation, the premium crystal ore at the end of the staff releasing an incandescent glow.
“Mentor, this is the energy ripple of my mentor. Quick, charge in, quick!” Looking at the change in the Staff of Darkness and the tunnel at the corner, Elder Klive was elated. As an orphan who had lost his parents at a young age, he could never forget the aura of his mentor and father, the Great Elder!
Under Elder Klive’s command, the soldiers of the Dark Association raised their weapons high into the air, swarming toward the underground jail like the tide. However, just as the knights of the Dark Association charged to the front and was about to rush into the tunnel, an accident occurred!
A silver light burst forth, and several two-winged angels wielding giant blades suddenly appeared at the entrance of the tunnel. They cleaved the knights of the Dark Association in half along with their horses with just one strike! One, two… More and more of them appeared. Other than the two-winged angels, there were also four-winged, and even powerful six-winged angels, forming a large mass! There was a cold gleam in their blades, their powerful wings flapping gently, making their entire body float in the air. They looked down from above, consumed in bloodlust!
“Charge, brothers, charge!”
“Charge…”
After recovering from their shock, under the leadership of their commander, the soldiers of the Dark Association charged manically toward the Angel Army. Some threw out heavy harpoons, some shot out sharp arrows, while others pounced forward, unafraid of death…
“Hmph, you’re all asking for death!”
Looking at the soldiers of the Dark Association charging toward them, a six-winged angel let out a cold grunt, instantly casting a Holy Barrier on his allies. He then waved his hand, leading ten other angels in pushing forward, completely disregarding the sharp harpoons and arrows of the soldiers from the Dark Association. He sliced the soldiers in front in two with a flick of his sharp dagger. Row after row of soldiers of the Dark Association fell in an instant.
This is the might of the Angel Army?
Looking at the alarming defensive capabilities of the Holy Barrier as well as the sharp attacks of the angels, each one more powerful than the last, Yang Ling’s heart shook. He quickly summoned his Magical Beast Army and ordered Ashnamov to form a tight defensive formation in front of the Great Wizard Altar, as well as set up the Magic Crystal Cannons and Dragonbone Battle Carriages!
