Chapter 1336 Unneeded Help
In the Turbulent Sea, certain acts like using Divine Sense is severely limited.
Added with the formation embedded on the bedrocks of the city it forms an interference against people Divine Sense.
So, not many people could guess the source of this pressure.
But to those who are on the Hanging Head District, they all could see that the source of this pressure, the reason why the sky seems to be crazy is because of the old man.
The clouds above his head is the thickest and produces the largest concentration of pressure that it creates ripples in the air.
There are some people that quickly runs away from the district knowing that it might be a site of a great battle
If the City Lord has even dispatched the city soldiers, then a battle is inevitable. Robert become even more nervous and anxious seeing that the soldiers slowly descend down from the sky.
'Why is Arthur suddenly sent his soldiers right now?' Robert was the one that ask for assistance.
This is true but right now he really regretted his decision earlier.
This is simply his own foot. He wanted to deescalate the situation not escalate it. They landed on the ground and someone walk to the front
'Sam' Robert mutters.
'It is the Admiral' someone said from the crowd.
Sam look at the old man and the little girl beside that old man and he said
'Let us talk' Azief raises his eyebrows and there is a smile on his face. Robert was a bit relieved. He thought that Sam would do something rash
'Before that, let us dismiss some of the pressure' Sam suddenly said and he brought out something like a small remote out from his sleeve.
Then he pushed the button on that remote. At the same time, the entire city seems to rumble
'What is happening?' some of the people shouted.
The city of Arturia is very large.
While it appears sparse outside of the inner city wall, that is only because there is too much space. And because of that some people thought that the city Arturia is only in the inner city wall
It is actually very vast and large and right now this city is trembling.
The nearby mountain shakes, the hills split apart. It was like the entire land beneath the city is moving.
The people who did not know what happened in the Hanging Head probably would not connect the current events that is happening to someone pushing a button
On the nearby shore, the water seems to be drained suddenly and there is a pulsating spirals that suddenly appears near the shore.
It sucks the water into the spiral. There were some people who were still playing there even though it is already night
'Watch out!' they yelled at each other. Some flies to the other and help pull them from the spirals they fly to the shore
It was then that all the people inside the city boundaries could hear a droning sound.
This droning sound echoes all over the city like the city is a cave trapping the sound.
Everyone was shocked at this. Even Azief who were far away from the shore could hear the droning sound.
He raised his eyebrows, feeling interested.
He did not think that Arturia had such a defense mechanism embedded in the city
Azief did not care whether there is something or not. Unless that something is strong enough to kill a Divine Comprehension leveler, he did not worry at all.
At the same time that Azief and Sam is facing each other, those who are close to the shore was shocked when they saw something emerged from the sea bed.
First it looks like a pillar and as it emerges it creates large waves that strikes the shore and bring about a thrashing sea upon the people who were setting up stall on the beach.
A powerful fluctuation of energy erupted, creating a small ripple of shockwave that blasted all the water even further away.
The people on the shore all either punch the block of water coming toward the shore, create walls of Elements, and many other methods to prevent it from pushing them away.
'What is that?' it is night and it hard to see the around the darkness on the beach
But for anyone who were at least Energy Disperse Stage, their eyesight could easily see in the dark if they wanted to.
And what they saw was a gigantic muzzle pointed toward the city
It was a large cannon and the droning sound comes from the cannon hole.
The whirring sound become even more clear and it seems that it is recharging.
All over the heaven and Earth, the lightning and the thunders were drowned out by the sound of that droning.
The thunder that was striking the clouds when it suddenly strikes down toward that cannon but instead of being deflected or exploded, the thunder seems to enhance the cannon.
The cannon moves and its direction is the gathering storms in the nearby point.
The moment that cannon pointed its muzzle toward the storm the cannon shines and the runic designs on it glows like the sun.
And the storms were sucked into the cannon hole.
And then almost immediately, this titanic cannon once again moves its muzzle toward the city, pointing toward the Hanging Head tavern
Specifically pointing toward Azief. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ꜰʀᴇᴇᴡᴇʙɴᴏᴠᴇʟ. ᴄᴏᴍ.
Azief could see all of this with his Divine Sense. And Katarina could also see it. But both of them instead of showing any noticeable fear of stress only smiles.
'I like your approach' Azief as he looks back at that man leading the armored soldiers. Then he added
'It is a lot like mine'
Robert on the other hand is now panicked. If the City Lord soldiers fought with Death Monarch and Katarina, then the fate of this city would probably be doomed.
Robert wanted to run and quickly tell Sam that this old man is actually Death Monarch and nothing good would come in provoking him
Before he could even come to the Admiral suddenly a portal opened up not far away from the Hanging Head tavern
Azief look toward that portal and coming out of that portal is another group of people.
These people did not wear armor like the earlier group but instead, wear all kinds of clothes. Some look elegant, some look shabby. Others wear an iron suit like some kind of an iron man.
But all of them have fluctuations of energy that is pressuring the space and time around them.
'Disk Formation levelers all of them. Didn't think there would be so many Disk Formation leveler now in the world' he mutters to himself
They all lined up in horizontal lines. And they are slowly encircling him and Katarina.
Someone step up forward. He wears a golden robe with gray hair and golden beard. He is a middle age man with large bushy beard and stout body.
'Hey, old man. This city has its own rules. Compensation is in order' Robert slap his own forehead. Even the Merchant Association want a piece?
'Idiot' he thought.
That man who was speaking to Death Monarch is one of his collaborators, Enrico one of the heads of the Merchant Associations that was sent to the Turbulent Sea.
Robert was about to persuade Enrico to bring back his thug to his Merchant Quarters but even before he could go up to this second group, more portals opened up
'Shit! Fuck!'
By now Robert could not help but curses in his mind. Hanging Head business is tied with many other businesses.
It is then not surprising to see those who were affected come here.
'This is really not a good time to help us' He thought to himself.
There is people coming out of these portals each one unleashed their energy and the entire space around the Hanging Head district is distorted.
The wind that blows did not know where to go as it was crushed by the overbearing pressure from the people coming out from these portals.
It even affected the sky above as the clouds opens up even pressuring the thunder and lightning to be overwhelmed by the accumulation of so many powerful energy gathering in one place.
The air felt suffocating
When the many factions heard that the Hanging Head was attacked they were not quite concerned.
They did not mind for the Hanging Head to be a bit weaker. The fight between interest in this city is quite intense.
While they do not actively seek other faction destruction, they did not actively help others since they are all competing against each other.
But when they heard that the entire tavern was destroyed, that all of the higher ups of the Hanging Head tavern was forced out from the Ninth Floor, then they knew things was getting serious.
They did not mind having Hanging Head a bit roughed up but being destroyed?
That would bring the full might of so many interested parties in the sea to bear down on this city.
There is the Ten Warlords of the Sea. And if Hanging Head is destroyed, then one of these warlords would probably come here.
There are many rumors of the Hanging Head connection with one of the Ten Warlords of the Sea.
