For Victor, the three words Carter City have a very special meaning to him. Here, he got a new life; here, he became a mage apprentice; here, there are still fond memories with the Leo family... Because of this, Victor chose one from many combat missions. : Capture the City Lord's Mansion.
As the distance between the war fortress and Carter City gets closer and closer, the war is about to break out.
Victor has already boarded the "Magic Airship" with many wizards, and flew to Carter City, which was still in a peaceful atmosphere, before the war fortress "Skasiti".
…
"Mom, mom, look at it..."
An innocent and cute little boy pointed to the sky above his head and shouted: "There are monsters in the sky!"
"You kid, talking nonsense again!"
The young mother smiled and said, "How can monsters appear under the protection of my god?"
Although she said so, the mother followed the direction of the child's fingers and looked towards the sky.
"Ah!!! My god is on! This... what is this?"
A harsh exclamation came from the mother's mouth, which caught the attention of others.
Soon, the residents of Carter City all saw the "steel monster" from far and near, and Carter City, which was completely ordered, immediately became chaotic!
The panic spread rapidly in this northern port city. People screamed and fled. Some were hiding in their homes, some went to the city lord’s mansion to ask for asylum, and some just came to the temple to pray...
The nobles set up their carriages one after another and took the wealth of their homes and fled outside the city; the city guards gathered tremblingly, without the slightest intention to fight; the guards of the temple also put on armor and took up weapons. They have loyal beliefs in Carter. Under the command of the city bishop, he was ready for the battle.
Before the war fortress, there were more than two dozen huge, streamlined "magic power" airships sailing towards Carter City. They hovered over various areas of the city under the horrified gaze of Carter City residents.
"The battle begins!"
With a command, hundreds of wizards jumped out of the airship one after another, their figures dashed across the sky and fell straight to the ground... Victor was also one of them.
The whistling wind filled his ears, and Victor tried to open his eyes wide, calculating the distance between himself and the ground as much as possible.
"Feather Falling Technique."
When he was about to fall to the ground, Victor instantly activated the magic scroll distributed by the Magic Society, and fell slowly and steadily on the ground.
Without any stay, without paying attention to ordinary civilians who were not threatening, Victor, who landed smoothly, galloped toward the location of the City Lord's Mansion in the direction in his memory.
Along the way, more and more mages gathered together, and they were advancing while applying various defensive spells to each other.
"Don't hurt those ordinary residents..."
A high-ranking mage in Victor's team said loudly: "Our combat goal is only one-occupy the city lord mansion and destroy all resistance!!"
When Victor and the others arrived at the location of the City Lord's Mansion, the heavily armed city guards had already tightly guarded the entire City Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, there was a huge roar in the temple area of Carter City, and the mages over there were already fighting the temple guard head-on!
"Listen to the people inside! Give you half a quarter of an hour to think about it. If you don't give up resistance by then, kill it!"
Unlike the attitude towards the Eternal Temple, the Magic Society leaves room for the nobles in the city and does not directly attack.
Perhaps because of the propaganda of the temple, the soldiers of the City Guard faced these so-called "evil heretics", their attitude was both fearful and hostile, so after the time limit ended, no one put down their weapons.
"Huh! Ready to attack!!"
The leader of the high-level wizard snorted uncomfortably and waved to signal the wizards to start attacking.
"Please wait! Maybe I have a way to make these soldiers give up resistance..."
"Huh? It's Mr. Victor!"
Seeing Victor's words to prevent the attack, the leader of the high-level mage asked curiously: "Do you have any good solutions?"
Victor smiled and explained: "It's not a good way, but I have some connections with the people in the City Lord's Mansion, so I want to try my best! It would be a good thing if I can avoid fighting..."
After getting permission, Victor took a few steps forward and shouted in the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion: “Is the City Lord here? I’m a friend of Leo Gals! Maybe we can talk... You can ask Mrs. Maria to confirm me. identity of!"
The soldiers of the City Guard who were ready to fight the "heretics" heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately some soldiers left the combat position to report this information.
Soon, a woman dressed as a noblewoman appeared in Victor's sight.
"Little Vic? Is it really you?"
"It's me! Aunt Maria... If possible, I would like to talk to Lord Santo! There is no need for a meaningless bloodshed between us!!"
"Okay! I'm going to explain to your father..."
Maria nodded towards Victor, and left in a hurry.
…
After some "difficult" communication, the City Lord Carter, who knew he was invincible, finally made a concession under Victor's repeated assurances and ordered the soldiers of the City Guard to lay down their weapons.
Although some time was wasted, the wizards finally completed the combat mission and fully controlled the City Lord's Mansion.
After leaving a part of the manpower, the leader of the high-level mage took the team to other areas of the city to assist.
"Aunt Maria, are you okay?"
After entering the City Lord's Mansion, Victor found Maria in the first place to ensure her safety.
"Little Vic..."
"Brother Vic!"
Maria, who was holding Penny, had mixed feelings after seeing Victor.
"Aunt Maria, how about Uncle Leo? Why didn't you see him?"
Upon hearing Victor's question, Maria immediately became nervous, "Your Uncle Leo is still in the temple... Little Vic, you must save him!!!"
"What? In the temple? Aunt Maria, don't worry! I'll go over there to see the situation..."
Victor gave a few words of comfort, turned around and hurriedly left here.
"I hope it's too late..."
"Mr. Victor, something went wrong!"
When Victor just walked to the main entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion, an intermediate mage said to him: "For unknown reasons, there have been many fires in Carter City..."
Looking up, Victor saw more than a dozen strong black plumes of smoke appearing in the area around the city lord mansion.
"Huh! This must be a good thing the temple has done!! They want to leave us a mess..."
After a little thought, Victor guessed the truth of the matter.
The guys in the temple saw that the general situation was gone, so they gave up on Carter City's defense. Before leaving, these people didn't forget to set a fire, trying to distract the magic society so that they could escape.
"Organize the staff and try their best to fight the fire!"
Before going to the temple area, Victor gave an order to the remaining wizards.
