The Legendary Mage (Alavin) novel Chapter 232

"Stay in your rooms! No one is to leave!" Alavin shouted as he gripped his ancient sword and dashed forth.

"Rally with the guards! Take cover!" Mariela followed in hot pursuit.

Mercenaries! There were barbaric mercenaries.

Bands of them, ferocious and fierce and all powerful Mages, stormed through the crumbled breaches in the western, northern, and southeastern walls, rampaging through the dilapidated city quarters, setting fires, and sowing chaos. The sudden anarchy caught the city's defenders off guard as they scattered to give chase, angrily intercepting the intruders. But the ancient city was too vast, and they could not cover all the grounds.

"Don't panic!"

"All troops, secure the walls! No one is to breach!"

"Mage units, slay the intruders."

"Thousand Treasures Commerce, secure your caravans."

"Lord Lawren, please assist in the pursuit."

Lucan and others bellowed in rage, their calls echoing through the quarters as they gathered their forces and descended upon the old city, desperately hunting down the invaders.

Howling and bellowing, the mercenaries shouted and looted, darting through the dark streets, cunningly evading their pursuers. They spread out as much as possible, sowing chaos everywhere to distract the guards of the Mallister family.

"Ha-ha, where's the treasure? Where is it!" A band of mercenaries suddenly burst into the residential area, shouting wildly and unleashing gales and consuming flames.

People ran in panic, screaming in terror. Children who got startled from their sleep wailed loudly.

"The caravan is there! Let’s go!" Several groups of mercenaries spotted the convoy of The Thousand Treasures Commerce and rushed to attack in a frenzy.

"Looking for an early grave, are you?" Daman bellowed, swinging his hefty staff through the air, bringing it down with a thunderous crash that shook the ground, echoing like thunder and deafening to the ears. A violent earthquake swept through a kilometer radius, and the ground split open with wide, ghastly cracks, stones flying, and dust billowing while a wild surge of air waves roared out like an uncontrollable deluge, striking in all directions.

The approaching mercenaries didn't even have time to scream before they were shattered by the shockwave!

The shocking and brutal scene brought a sudden halt to the other mercenaries' advance.
