Chapter 415: Declaration

Sages voice boomed over the fortress. Zhang Tu was truly cautious, having built himself a castle atop a large rock formation. A few hundred foot tall rock in the center of a wide open grassland. Most of Flying Wind Province had similar terrain, large open plains interspersed with large rocks, plateaus, and cliffs. The wind also never seemed to stop blowing, ranging from gentle breezes to gale winds, the grasses were constantly swaying. Upon standing on those tall and isolated rocks, one would feel as if they were flying in the wind. Those two features were what gave Swaying Grass County and Flying Wind Province their names.

Zhang Tus Fortress had walls over forty feet thick at the base that stood eighty feet tall. Such walls were equivalent to those around large cities, and a great deterrent to Demonic Beasts and powerful cultivators. On the other hand, it was also an exorbitant expenditure of resources. Unless one expected to be targeted by an expert or was building in an area populated by strong beasts, there usually wasnt such a need for defenses this powerful to protect such a small location. Cities usually protected millions, and most of those were ordinary mortals, they would be helpless if a pack of Demonic Beasts were in the area. The walls were necessary to protect them. This Fortress on the other hand, had only a dozen acres or so of space within it. It seemed much like something a very rich mortal would build if they wanted to escape from the cities and live out in the wilderness.

After calling out Zhang Tu, Sage watched the response of the Fortress. Before they had even started their encirclement, theyd already counted a few hundred guards manning the walls. Surprisingly, they all wore matching uniforms with an unusual coloring. The left halves of their robes were black, while the right halves were white. It felt somewhat familiar, but Sage couldnt quite place which group they were from. Other than in 10,000 Wave Province and Bronze Tiger Province, the Information Network only had a presence in the capital cities of each province. The Black Dog Company also didnt keep detailed records of uniforms. They only registered membership badges to each individual and to which group those individuals were affiliated.

Sage had a feeling the group he was up against was quite famous in other parts of the Kingdom, but were practically unknown in 10,000 Wave Province. Such an eye catching clothing pattern was certainly memorable. The many guards on the walls withstood Sages provocation, without moving from their positions or even looking scared in the least. They were a bit impressed by the scale of the siege, it was almost like they were merely excited at a coming show.

Seems this group must be quite powerful.

While he was deciding on whether or not to start insulting the defenders to goad them out, the front gates of the Fortress creaked. They were twenty feet tall and ten feet wide, constructed of solid Spirit Steel and likely worth a small fortune. Even as large and heavy as they were, a single hand pushed them open. Along with that push a small group of four walked out from the Fortress. Two of them garbed completely in black, while the other two were fully in white. Of the black pair, one was a man and the other a woman. The pair in white were similarly divided. All four looked quite elegant and refined, though they were of different ages. The man in black and the woman in white looked to be in their thirties, while the woman in black and the man in white looked to be in their twenties. Of course, they were cultivators, so it was hard to tell their actual ages.

The older pair behind them nodded their heads, Fine, but be careful. If you sense anything at all amiss, or we call you back, flee immediately. You must maintain balance.

The younger two cupped their fists at the man in black and woman in white and then shot into motion. They shot off like a streak of black and white, leaping from rock to rock, ignoring the road and reaching the flat grassland in less than a second. They darted towards Sages position with a violent level of speed.

They arent flying, that means no wind laws.

Sage was standing a dozen yards inside the perimeter of Dragoons while Songji was standing just outside next to Dian Huifang. The two women didnt look to be involved in the battle, but Sage didnt count on the enemies to believe that. Especially since Songji had come along as an extra assurance for him. The enemy had no idea that Sage actually had Songji standing next to Dian Huifang as a backup against her. There was no telling if Huifang might suddenly take offense to something and go against him. Even if Songji wasnt a match for her, at least she could hold Huifang back long enough to keep Sage from being backstabbed.

The man in white started to glow, a halo of bright light even forming above his head. Meanwhile the woman in black strayed behind him, following behind him like a shadow. Her smaller frame was hidden quite well, especially as the halo of light got brighter and brighter, starting to affect the eyes of all those who looked towards him. The army of Dragoons already started to shield their eyes from the conflict.

Ahh, so its Light then. Then that means the ones in blackThe debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.
