Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

Chapter 124: Crisis of Ebonwick Fortress

The road to Ebonwick was easy and smooth, as the cargo traveled slowly and steadily with soldiers guarding, and checking the cargo line again and again; making sure everything was fine while they rode the horses.

Kai was also looking at the scenery outside.

It has been half an hour and the view outside has changed a lot.

During the time they left the Blackmere city the road was flat and grass and trees can be seen everywhere with the sound of the chirping of birds with gentle breeze.

But now the view outside is completely changed.

The outside is a dry barren land with cracks everywhere due to lack of water and nourishment, as dry winds blowing at high speed make transparent glass windows tremble.

But the current situation of this land is not because of heat or drought, instead the atmosphere outside is becoming colder and colder as they progress towards Ebonwick.

Bright and sunny day skies slowly became cloudy as he looked at the district's dark clouds over the land.

"Ancient Battlefield, paradise of dead, the god forsaken land. These names really are suitable for this place"thought Kai.

During his time in white world, Dai Yusa has told him that the ancient battlefield has become the gathering place of all the dark elemental essence and negative emotions and power in the continent.

Due to which the number of dark magic users throughout the continent have been reduced to great extent.

"After I defeated Undead Emperor Yakto and ordered Jai and others to kill all his subordinates. 

All of the dark essence from their body also got absorbed by this land, fastening the process of the growth of the ancient battlefield"thought Kai.

"Even after death, you are still causing problems for the people of the continent; undead Emperor Yakto"

As he kept looking outside, while others were feeling tense and nervous. As negative emotions and thoughts filled the minds of the soldier and students.

The cargo reached the outer perimeter of the guard's patrol line. From where the entire brown stone wall of fortress city was fully visible before the eyes of everyone.

Fortress city Ebonwick, there was a time when it was a commercial city of this region, with a population of around twenty thousand people.

But now that glorious ancient city stands in ruins. Most of the part of the city has turned into ruins and many historical buildings have returned to dust.

After the last expansion of ancient battlefield this place turned into an abandoned city and so both the empire decided to turn a part of the city into a military fortress and a large wall of thirds meters stretching across three kilometres with ten archers towers and fifty cannon.

Most of the time, it acts as a surveillance center as well as military base against the undeads of ancient battlefields.

One thousand soldiers were picked with the minimum cultivation of grandmaster rank from both the empire.

Consisting of one hundreds fifty archers, three hundred fifty light armour division, two hundred fifty heavy armour division, twenty artillery division, two hundred guard division with ability to ride horses to petrol the region for scouting and information collected and remain are miscellaneous workers responsible for cooking, health care, storage management.

As the cargo was moving forward it, suddenly come to a halt and a group of soldiers responsible for scouting,

who were traveling ahead of everyone.

Came back to report bad news to Joseph and Louie who were leading the cargo line.

The fortress city is currently under the attack of undead soldiers and can fall at any moment.

Hearing that Joseph and Louie looked at each other and looked at their second in command officer.

"Danish and Alpha, order all the soldiers to gather. It's a emergency, Ebonwick city is currently under attack by large number of undead and soldiers are barely able to hold on for much longer"

"Also send some soldiers to inform, Mefisto, Duchess Esabella, Duke Grawn and Froleytia, Instructor Kade about the latest developments"

"If possible I would like the students from three academies to be corporate and protect the cargo.

While vanquisher and punishers charge towards the fortress as fast as possible, to help the soldiers in the fortress"

Hearing that Danish and Alpha nodded and quickly left to gather the forces and carry out their order.

Kai who was sitting inside the carriage also noticed the unusual behaviour of soldiers as one of the soldiers hurried towards his carriage and knocked on the door.

Alina who was sitting beside the door quickly opened it.

"Is instructor Kade here?''asked the soldier in a hurried manner.

Hearing someone is calling him Kade quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

Seeing Kade, Soldier quickly informed him about the current situation in Ebonwick city.

Hearing that Kade furrowed and looked at his students.

"Ok, inform commander Joseph and Louie that we will help them look after the cargo line and protect it. They can charge towards the fortress without worry"

Hearing that Soldiers nodded and were about to leave, he heard Kai calling him from behind.

"Wait, I am also going with you,"said Kai in a casual manner and walked out of the carriage.

Kade wanted to stop him but remembering the incident of last night and that Kai is a peak magic champion, he stopped.

"He is one of the strongest people on the continent. Even I don't have any right to stop him but still he is currently the students of academy and I am incharge"think so Kade approached Kai.

"Kai I know you want to help, but still don't be careless. Currently we are near the ancient battlefield, a place where even headmaster must move carefully"

Seeing the worried expression on Kade 's face, Kai smiled.

He can fully understand why he is so worried.

But it cannot stop Kai. He is not going to just walk around the outer region of the ancient battlefield, he plans to enter the core region.

How can few undead make Kai scared.

"Don't worry instructor, I wouldn't do anything beyond my capabilities or act careless just because my cultivation is at peak of Magic Champion"

Hearing that Kade nodded.

While Kai was planning to follow the soldiers and meet with Joseph. He remembered something and turned around and walked towards Kade.

"Instructor can I borrow your sword for sometime. I forgot my sword in the academy because of hurry"

Kade looked at Kai with doubt"A swordsman forgot to bring his sword and you are telling me you are not careless"

Kade sighed in heart and gave Kai his spare sword after taking it out of the spiral ring.

Taking the sword Kai quickly joined the soldier and left.

While Kade looked at Kai back with worry and looked towards Ebonwick city.

[Joseph and Louie Side]

Joseph and Louis were taking with each other,

when Danish and Alpha told them that everyone is ready and waiting for their command to march towards the fortress with full speed.

"What professor Mefisto, Duchess Esabella and commander Froleytia said ''asked Louie.

"Commander, miss Froleytia and Duchess Esabella has chosen to stay, and ensure the security of the cargo and students. While Sir Mefisto will join us soon"

Hearing that they nodded.

"What about Duke Grawn side and Chronos Magic academy side asked"Joseph

"Reporting Sir, Duke Grawn has chosen to stay to protect cargo and students, while Instructor Kade has also made the same decision.

But it's seems a student name Kai wants to join us"

Joseph nodded.

He already had expected it, after miss Jennifer was ordered by the Empress to stay in Blackmere city. Only Duke Grawn remained to look after the students.

Though students are all level one magic knights. He just asks them to charge them without looking with his own eyes, how serious is the condition.

As for the academy side, he already knew that Kade would not take such a risk.

But hearing Kai is going to join them, Joseph became more confident.

A peak magic champion stage expert is willing to help by his own choice, why will he reject such a powerful helping hand.

After sometime Kai and Mefisto arrive with extra people.

"I didn't think you will also come, Jai. I thought you were taking care of Esabella"said Kai

"How can I not join in the fun, I know you will also come. It's been three months since I have moved this body"

"Anyway what happened between you and Esabella yesterday night?"asked Kai with curiosity in his eyes.

Jai replied with a casual smile"I will tell you later. Let's focus on the current situation first"

Nodded Kai

While Mefisto furrowed"these guys are acting like they are going on some picnic"

But remembering yesterday night's incident and the strength possessed by these two, he remained silent.

As everyone gathered together, Joseph told his subordinate to give a horse to them.

Mefisto quickly sat on a horse.

But Jai and Kai remained standing, seeing this Mefisto asked with doubt"Don't you guys don't know, how to ride a horse"

Hearing that Kai and Jai looked at each other with smiles.

"No horses are too slow. We can reach the fortress faster"saying that Kai held Jai's hand as they zoomed into the sky and started flying towards the fortress.

Leaving all of them slack-Jawed.

After recovering Joseph asked Mefisto"Professor Mefisto can you also fly like them"

Professor Mefisto his head"I can use flight spells but using it costs too much magic power and from the looks of it. Kai and his friend are not using any magic spells to fly. May be a flying device"

Hearing that Joseph and Louie nodded as they looked towards the sky.

While Mefisto still has doubts and only guessed that they are using flying devices.

"Why have I not heard of any flying device which can move at such a fast speed"
