Chapter 53: LIII. Heaven and Earth Killing Intent
The skull tattooed brute who had just boarded the ship less than ten days ago, dug his ear and bent down, his head tight against the ground.
"People are coming! Lord Rein, and... a large troop of cavalry, about two li away."
The tattooed brute stood up and reported eagerly, his hearing was astonishing.
Fen’s phantom nodded in acknowledgment, but he could not stay any longer, as the coast was perilous. He could only provide support, and Archer, who was scouting, probably was about to return to the ship as well.
The three top combatants of the Black Sail were gathered in the woods beside the main road, along with Morison and Ox.
Around eighty pirates were also hidden on either side of the woods, ready to strike unexpectedly.
Fen roughly calculated the distance from Lavender Town to here. From the moment the raven returned, they should be arriving soon. Liszt and the others were most likely intercepted by pursuers, or went to provide support to rescue others opening boxes elsewhere. Whether they won the fight or lost, they could only rely on their own side now. If they won, they would be in a damaged state from the tough battle, and if they lost, they needed even more support from this side.
"There are troubles in the secret port, caused by people from the Church Court, I leave this side to you."
Fen twisted two strands of spell power into a spiral structure like a sharp thin rope, similar to a clothesline wire. It weaved into an invisible huge net in the middle of the road with his fingertip movements, setting up a terrifying trap.
As a "pillar" of Pedan National Arcane Academy, Fen’s skills far surpassed those magicians from the adventurer’s guild who merely followed formulas and templates. His magic was not confined to forms but had reached a transcendent state where spell power was not only used to trigger the medium but could also materialize.
Rein’s speed was outstanding, his limbs swept through, far ahead of Zahak’s pursuing troops.
