Chapter 1217: Chapter 308: Furious Surge V_2
To say that Nemesia and he had no relationship, yet Brand always felt like he was supporting his senior sister. Just thinking about the fact that the opponent showed no mercy even to a woman, especially when Nemesia was almost defenseless compared to a Templar, he couldn’t help but glare at the other side with some irritation.
Without a doubt, if it wasn’t completely outmatched, Brand would have brandished his Earth Sword and charged in for another three hundred rounds.
The Templar on the opposite side clearly also realized that Brand was not easy to deal with. Covering his wound with one hand, he cautiously took a step back. Encountering a freak who could touch the Elemental Wall during battle was something not even mentioned in the thousand-year history of the Holy Temple’s records. Besides, his retreat was not meant to allow Brand and the Princess the opportunity to escape, since by now the hall had fallen under the control of the Holy Temple’s side.
The Crystal Dome of Lockshebi Palace had been smashed open, creating a large hole like a godless eye, gazing indifferently at the gloomy sky outside. The rainwater slid down the Crystal Dome, forming layers of lines that, when viewed from below, flowed down the facets, dangling like several dirty waterfalls.
The water flowed and rinsed the ground with a whoosh, and soon the dust in the hall settled into the muddy waters. The water on the ground had already risen to half an inch deep, with overturned chairs scattered everywhere.
Around the hall, it was already filled with Monk Soldiers streaming in from outside. The Sword Master Flame-haired Nicholas of the Xifah Royal Family and the ’Curiosity Seeker’ Gallock guarded the side doors on the left and right respectively. Behind the crowd, another Templar guarded the main entrance.
Including the Molosi Chief Priest, the other side had deployed five Realm of Elements powerhouses in total just within this hall, not to mention the Elemental Manifestation old Black Blade general Gerat, who could count as half an Elemental Realm.
Brand supported Nemesia, with the Princess and Ou Fuwei’er behind him; while the Royalist party stood on the other side headed by Macaro and Liwu, with Bujia guarding alongside, also counting as two in the Realm of Elements.
It’s a pity that Frey didn’t qualify to enter the Holy Temple, otherwise, she could have intimidated these guys.
Brand glanced around and saw many familiar faces in the crowd. These people were notable NPCs in the game, mostly top-tier Golden Rank experts from the North, at the worst Silver Peak. He had interacted with these people many times in the past or completed tasks under them.
After all, those above the Golden Rank were mostly nobles with fiefs, some even holding high titles. Just take Count Rangdenier’s subordinates, except for Kulan who was quite special, most of them were house servants of high status and position. Players in the early stages of the game were far inferior to these NPCs and had to ’earn a living’ under them.
Little did he expect that the historical changes today in Ambeser had turned these people into complete cannon fodder and secondary characters, making Brand somewhat emotional for a moment.
The hall quieted down for a moment, with only the sound of rushing water remaining.
The minor nobles unrelated to today’s events — such as the envoys from under Golan-Elsen and Duke Viero who came to watch the show — mostly turned pale with fright. They probably anticipated some changes, but didn’t expect both sides to turn against each other so quickly. At this moment, they were driven to one side by the Monk Soldiers, too scared to speak, merely watching the changes in the hall.
Only the group of Highland Knights, standing with Bunide in the middle of the hall, was without a single Monk Soldier around. It made Brand marvel that truly exceptional people remain exceptional everywhere.
As for Duke Anliek, he, surprisingly, did not notice where the other party was. Presumably, he had killed his way out amidst the chaos, unwilling to get involved in the muddy waters. With the strength of the Eagle Knight and Silver Knight around him, there was probably no one outside the Holy Temple who could stop them.
Then Brand saw Delphire. This Countess of Yan Castle, under Andreg’s protection, wasn’t too frightened, not to mention that she had three Golden Rank guards with her. In fact, counting the Royalist side plus him, and the Guardian Sword Family, they had more than a dozen with Golden Power, but they were far outmatched by strongmen at the Elemental Realm.
Brand understood this point clearly.
The people present had also seen the situation clearly. The new Great Priest of the Ande Fulei Grand Temple — Molosi — naturally knew as well, and thus besides the continued coldness on his face, he seemed confident and somewhat smug.
