Chapter 858 Dispute Amongst the Witches
Entvija.
As a large trading city, Entvija was well known throughout the Northern Lands.
There were circles of trading areas and fancy mansions in the city with the adept’s tower at its core. The crowd here was massive, and people were brushing past each others’ shoulders when they walked through the streets.
One had to admit that though the Northern Witches were a little too barbaric in combat, their attitudes toward civilians were the best among the adept organizations.
Perhaps it was due to the cold, harsh weather of the Northern Lands, along with the vast land and a low number of civilians, but the population was a rare resource as well here.
That was why massacres very rarely happened in the Northern Lands. Even conflicts between witches rarely ever involved ordinary people.
Entvija was a classic public city. It did not belong to any one witch branch and was instead a trade capital left to the management of the Witch Council. The witches in charge of order in the city had to keep a fair attitude toward every single witch branch. They maintained a neutral stance in all situations.
A dozen witch apprentices stood behind both parties, along with several dozen guards.
It seemed the witches of the two factions had run into each other when shopping in the Paran District. That was what had led to the current conflict and stand-off.
“Haha! You want us to apologize? Then let’s see if you have the might to back that up.”
“Indeed. You Fate Witches have been re-established for over a hundred years, and yet you have no more than pawns in your entire faction. That is more than enough proof of your leader’s inability. If I were you, I would already be thinking of joining someone else.”
“Just you few people and you hope to stand a chance against us Coldwinter Witches? We will teach you a proper lesson today.”
It was clear that the Coldwinter Witches held the advantage in the current situation. That was why they were unwilling to let go of this golden opportunity and were so eager to start a fight.
Seeing that her words had no effect, Arya shook her head helplessly and flew toward the city guards.
“You guys, don’t just look. Hurry up and send people to evacuate the civilians nearby.”
“Then…them?” A captain of the guards started stuttering.
“Don’t concern yourself with them. Those witches will settle their conflict by themselves. Just seek the loser for compensation once the battle is over!”
The face of the captain steadily turned sour when he heard this terrible job fall on his head.
Regardless of how weak the witches of these two factions might be, the soles of their feet were higher than the top of his head.
In all honesty, if it weren’t for the demands of his post, he would never want to be involved in a battle between two witch factions.
The witches were about to fight!
The city guards mobilized and immediately dispersed the crowd near Paran District, leaving a spacious battlefield for the witches. Everyone held their breaths and found cover as they silently watched the fight that was about to erupt.
Arya and the two other witches on shift duty flew even higher above and observed the fight from the air.
“Just surrender, Sofia!” The Coldwinter Witch in the lead stood out, “You Fate Witches are naturally inept at combat; it’s best if you surrender as soon as possible. You just need to sit in our clan’s prison for a couple of weeks and wait until the battle concludes. Then, you can go back to Dragonblight. Otherwise…”
She didn’t finish the sentence, but the threat was fully expressed!
“Hmph! Don’t start gloating too early!” Sofia waved the thick and heavy stick in her hands. She let it fall to the ground as it smashed through the tough stone tile, sinking deep into the earth, “Let the dogs out.”
As Sofia shouted, she and the two witches behind her simultaneously threw out a glowing elementium core. The elementium cores took in dense earth elementium as they flew threw the air. They then transformed into three towering stone golems amidst a blinding yellow light.
Three advanced First Grade stone golems!
These stone golems were all four meters tall, their bodies wholly pieced together with massive boulders. Their shocking weight caused the surrounding buildings to tremble when they landed on the street.
The three stone-golems roared and charged at the Coldwinter Witches on the other side of the street the moment they were summoned.
“Dammit! Elementium golems!” The Coldwinter Witch leader shouted out loud, “Guards, stop them!”
The guards in white armor that stood around the witches immediately rushed forward upon receiving their orders. They raised their shields against the stone golems.
A horrifying explosion rang out, much like that of a heavy truck running across a field of watermelons.
The first few guards at the front were crushed to minced meat by the massive fists of the stone golems, their entire bodies exploding into blood and flesh. Even more guards were blown away by the swinging fists, turning into birds without wings as they soared across the air.
However, their desperate effort allowed them to stop the stone golems in their tracks!
