Chapter 1170: Swan song

During the afternoon, Archmage Kayle of the Tudor family had received intel that Winston City was plunged into chaos by some people. Even part of the city walls had been smashed through by them, and dozens of sorcerers had died.

When Archmage Kayle heard about this news, his immediate reaction was one of joy. First of all, this was definitely not their Tudor family’s doing. After all, as the third-in-command of the Tudor family, the clan would definitely keep him informed if there were such a ruthless plan in place.

Therefore, Archmage Kayle speculated if this might be the Norman family’s doing.

In the Kingdom of Sorcerers, it seemed that other than the Normans, no one else should be capable of pulling this off, right?

However, Archmage Kayle was also skeptical about this speculation. He felt that even the Normans might not be able to do it.

He had been completely sucked into this matter as an audience member watching from the sidelines. However, just as he was enjoying the show, he suddenly became involved in it.

When he heard the shouting outside the house earlier, he was still a little puzzled. Their Tudor family and the Winston family were indeed on bad terms. But he had come on a covert operation to kill Melgor, so even if the Winston family did discover his whereabouts, they shouldn’t have such great determination to kill him, right?

If something were to happen to him, it would be equivalent to provoking a war between the Tudors and the Winstons.

‘Have you Winstons thought it through before resorting to this? Have you reported your actions here to the Berkeley family’s patriarch?‘

However, it was only at this moment that Archmage Kayle realized the Winston family had fucking pinned the blame on him for the chaos!

Archmage Kayle frowned as he looked around. “What does what happened in Winston City have anything to do with me? Do you Winstons think you can go against us Tudors just because you have the Berkeleys’ backing? This will be a futile attempt!”

As a matter of fact, Archmage Kayle was used to being arrogant. In Ghent City, since he was ranked third in the Tudor family, he would be welcomed wherever he went. It had been a long time since a sorcerer from other than the House of Norman dared to challenge the honor of the Tudors.

Archmage Kayle had never considered a house like the Winstons as a serious threat before. The Tudor family had given the Winston family a pounding on more than one occasion.

Therefore, Archmage Kayle was still very confident in himself at this moment.

If this were the past, the House of Winston would probably not dare to do anything to him. But it was different now. More than 60 of their clan’s sorcerers had died overnight, and the Berkeley family was about to start a rebellion anyway, so the Winston family’s patriarch was really enraged. They wanted to settle all the old and new grudges here today!

In addition, the Winston family’s patriarch also had his own plans. They had been fully overpowered in the battle overnight, so if they did not kill someone reputable as a sacrifice this time, they would probably get cast aside as useless trash by the House of Berkeley.

If that happened, the Winston family would really get relegated in status.

The Winston family’s patriarch had to prove to the Berkeley family he was still a valuable ally.

In an instant, the Winston family’s patriarch and Archmage Alston joined forces and cast a spell, filling the sky full of golden Garudas. Those strange hawk-faced birds with human bodies dived down from the sky, leaving a scorching wave of fire behind them.

Archmage Kayle’s expression darkened. When the Garudas appeared, he realized he was probably going to die here today.

Although Archmage Kayle was usually arrogant, he was also a very smart person. He shouted to Gull who was engaged in battle, “You and I have a master and servant relationship! I’ve treated you well, and the House of Tudor has never mistreated you either. You don’t have to protect me this time. It’s my turn to protect you. After I die, the moment the Bloodline Summoning spell is activated and the patriarch gets here, you must inform him that the House of Berkeley has revolted!”

If it wasn’t for the backing of the Berkeleys, how would the Winstons dare to surround and kill him at this time?

The gladiator, Gull, said anxiously, “Lord Kayle, I’m your steward. I can’t hide behind your protection!”

Archmage Kayle shook his head. “We’re surrounded by dozens of sorcerers from the House of Winston, and there’s even two archmages. You might still be able to escape, but I definitely can’t. Remember, you mustn’t die before you see my father.”

Gull teared up a little. “I’ll be sure not to!”

“For the glory of the Tudors!” Archmage Kayle shouted as he stared at Gull.

Gull nodded vigorously. “For the glory of the Tudors!”

…

This battle in Sun City lasted until night. Huge explosions boomed nonstop as the golden Garudas flying in the sky glowed brilliant as fireworks.

The Ice Rend spell, which was exclusive to the House of Tudor, turned 10% of Sun City into a glacier. All of the Knights of the Hymn who did not manage to escape in time were turned into ice statues.

Truly, Archmage Kayle was indeed very powerful. Including the Winston family’s patriarch, dozens of sorcerers surrounded and attacked him together. In the end, they still fought for several hours before they finally killed him.

Normally, the Winston family’s patriarch’s power should be on par with Archmage Kayle, and both of them also possessed a gold Eye of True Sight. But in the end, their battle was still stretched to such an extent. This only showed the House of Tudor really did command their standing in the magus order.

However, this was Archmage Kayle’s swan song in life.

After the death of Archmage Kayle, his father, the Tudor family’s patriarch, used the Bloodline Summoning spell to descend upon Sun City and killed more than 30 junior sorcerers of the House of Winston with his Ice Rend spell.

If the Winston family’s patriarch and their archmages hadn’t made a quick escape, they would probably have died there as well.

After all, the Tudor family’s patriarch was a terrifying figure whose portrait had been featured on their kingdom’s gold coin for 40 years.

The huge glacier stretched across Sun City, and not even the hot and stuffy summer night could melt it quickly enough.

The residents in the city felt like it was winter now, not summer.

The entire city’s residents were forced to dig out their winter clothing so they could feel a tinge of warmth.

This was the power of the Bloodline Summoning spell. Its power did not depend on the caster but on the strength of the dead. A summoned sorcerer could unleash all of the dead’s strength in an instant, making it a truly terrifying spell.

Ren Xiaosu had met the Tudor family’s patriarch when he killed the bounty hunter. However, that bounty hunter was so weak Old Xu shattered the ice sculpture with a single slash of its black saber.

Meanwhile, Archmage Kayle was a very powerful sorcerer, so the potential of the Bloodline Summoning spell was completely fulfilled. It was equivalent to having an extra life that could be used to self-destruct and bring down the enemy together.

After the battle ended, news of the Sun City incident immediately spread throughout the Kingdom of Sorcerers through various intelligence channels. Everyone suddenly understood that an all-out civil war was about to begin!

That night, the nine counties controlled by the House of Tudor started gathering their troops. The main forces of the Knights of Tudor were assembled overnight and started pressing south.

It was not only the House of Tudor. Even the House of Norman had started gathering their troops.

According to the agreement between the Normans and Tudors, they could fight each other openly and covertly. But the moment other enemies appeared, the two clans would have to team up to suppress any forces that dared challenge their authority. Only in this way could they ensure their status as the two top sorcerer clans.

A lot of people would find it a little unbelievable that these two clans’ could team up with their long feud. But in fact, human desire for power usually led to many peculiarities surfacing in the world.

The Winston family’s patriarch started leading his clan in retreat back to Winston City. Initially, their plan was to start the war against the top clans in Ghent City. But now that the war had been declared in advance, the main battlefield would probably get shifted south.
