Chapter 1052: Unthinkable Move
The armed forces of Ravenfell had found themselves in a world of trouble. Initially, they had positioned themselves around the boundaries of the city, stationed on the walls and in the harbor watch towers.
Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined their enemies had already infiltrated the city, emerging from the sewers long before anyone realized.
Or perhaps, the Magi commanding the armed forces had already taken this scenario into consideration. These were Mana Vortex Magi; they were not foolish. Of course, it would make sense for them to take into account every small detail, including the possibility of the enemy utilizing the sewer networks to infiltrate the city.
But little did everyone know... the higher-ups had already been compromised. More specifically, the Lord Commander of Ravenfell, Sabrina Benton, had already fallen victim to the enemy’s insidious trap way before the battle had even begun.
It was unknown whether Marden knew everything that was happening in the Council’s headquarters, or if he had been pulling the strings from behind, using his own mother as his marionette.
Or it could have also been the Cult using the subtle, cunning perception-changing magic that they had used in Hannes City and Blackshore—and who knows where else.
But one thing was certain... Marden knew too many secrets. And not just about Ravenfell. Moreover, he and the Cult had been planning for this day long before the Brotherhood even came to know about it.
And so, before the battle had even begun, the armed forces of Ravenfell had already lost.
To the north of the city, in the mountain ranges, the Emperor Emeritus, Gerald Acadia, Black Fire Balthazar, and the Silent King were battling four Mana Core Magi of the Cult.
Considering that the cultists had already begun summoning their powerful undead creatures, their battle was becoming more and more serious by the second. Unfortunately for them, the three Magi they were fighting against were quite problematic.
