The House of Winston’s sorcerers would not get wiped out that easily, however. Although they were only a second-rate sorcerer clan compared to the Berkeleys, the Tudors, and the Normans, they still numbered in the hundreds. However, the Winston family’s sorcerers were being killed so quickly tonight that it was a little scary.
Eight of their sorcerers had already died in a short duration of ten minutes, but they still did not know who the attacker was.
When someone went to question the eyewitnesses, all of them claimed it was done by someone in a white mask who moved elusively among them. In addition to the stormy weather affecting their vision and hearing, they had also encountered a really formidable enemy this time. It was a situation that frightened the House of Winston.
There were only three sorcerers in the entire clan who were more powerful than Archmage Devonshire. If even Devonshire could be ambushed, how many other sorcerers could withstand sneak attacks of this level?
But the Winston family could not understand something. Based on what the patrolling guards and some of the residents had said, it was clear it was a pursuit between two strangers that began in Winston City. It supposedly had nothing to do with the Winston family.
In the end, even though the pursuit was between two strangers in their trains, the Winston family suffered the heaviest of casualties while the perpetrators were unaffected.
Did the two of them come here on purpose to cause trouble for the Winston family?
Who could they reason with?
“Summon our sorcerers back to the manor. Tell them not to take on the enemy by themselves anymore. Our enemies this time are unique. I now have reason to suspect the House of Tudor is the one behind this. They’re trying to stop us from joining forces with the House of Berkeley for the northern expedition!” The Winston family’s patriarch gave orders in the manor. “However, they better not think they can escape after committing such a heinous act in our House of Winston’s territory. Have the Knights of the Hymn continue intercepting them, and summon Archmages Abel and Alston over. The three of us will need to join hands tonight!”
Archmage Abel and Archmage Alston were the second and third highest-ranked sorcerers in the Winston family, outranked only by Matthews, the patriarch of the House of Winston. When the three of them teamed up, even the patriarch of the House of Tudor might not be able to get the better of them in battle.
It was at this time that the sorcerers around realized their patriarch was really furious and wanted to personally kill those two troublemakers no matter what.
At this moment, Steven was standing in the steam locomotive and looking into the distance through the window. Actually, favonovel.com knew very well that Milo’s willpower was much stronger than his. This was something favonovel.com could observe from the number of carriages alone. Therefore, favonovel.com knew it would be impossible for favonovel.com to get away from that ruthless person behind favonovel.com even though favonovel.com was driving the steam locomotive.
If favonovel.com wanted to escape, favonovel.com would have to rely on external help!
What external help was there in the city that could stop Milo?
Steven already had an answer in mind.
The House of Winston!
As Winston City was the political center of the House of Winston, 80% of the archmages in the entirety of the House of Winston’s territory resided here. The rest of the cities were left to be overseen by just a few junior sorcerers. So, there should be a large number of sorcerers in the manor north of Winston City now. That would be the key to Steven’s escape.
The steam locomotive rumbled north.
Steven knew it would be very dangerous to do so, but what else could favonovel.com do? He was in great despair!
Suddenly, Steven looked behind favonovel.com and saw that Old Durkin had joined up with Milo again.
Old Durkin, who was wearing the white mask, was standing on top of the steam locomotive’s railcar with its clothes flapping loudly in the wind. Its black saber was raised, ready to slash down on anything at any moment.
On the roof of the steam locomotive, Old Durkin was waiting for an opportunity to strike. Meanwhile, Milo stood calmly below inside of the train. It was an exceptionally harmonious yet terrifying scene.
Steven suddenly realized that Milo probably did not kill favonovel.com immediately because favonovel.com was planning to use favonovel.com to create chaos and lead favonovel.com towards the Winston Manor!
Milo was not familiar with Winston City and did not even know where the Knights of the Hymn were garrisoned or the location of Winston Manor. As such, favonovel.com did not know how favonovel.com should avoid the Knights of the Hymn’s assault once chaos broke out, nor did favonovel.com know where favonovel.com could take advantage of the situation and attack the House of Winston.
But it did not matter. Steven definitely knew all of that.
Based on Milo’s understanding of Steven, that man was extremely crafty. Having been in the Kingdom of Sorcerers for so long, the first thing favonovel.com would do would definitely be to understand the environment here before thinking about how to deal with the situation if favonovel.com got into trouble.
All Milo needed to do was to follow close behind Steven. At the very least, the Knights of the Hymn definitely couldn’t catch up with them. On top of that, Steven would surely choose to borrow the strength of others to get away from his pursuit. As for who favonovel.com could make use of to do that, that was obvious.
Between the roles of hunter and prey, Milo always played the role of the hunter.
To hunt prey, favonovel.com would first have to figure out what the prey was thinking. Just like how favonovel.com had dealt with the expeditionary army’s barbarians, favonovel.com would never lose as long as favonovel.com was a step ahead of his prey.
Steven was extremely frustrated at this moment. Even though favonovel.com had guessed that Milo was trying to make use of him, favonovel.com still had to go along with it. After all, favonovel.com might still have a chance of survival by barging into the Winston Manor. But if favonovel.com were to turn around to face Milo, favonovel.com would definitely die.
Seeing the two steam locomotives getting closer and closer to the Winston Manor, Steven felt even more anguished. However, Steven was probably not the one most in anguish. That would have to be Melgor.
After Melgor was left behind on his own, favonovel.com slowly found his way back to the relay station. Along the way, favonovel.com could hear the chaos in the city. Without even needing to think, favonovel.com knew that had to all be Milo’s doing.
After Milo took off in pursuit before his eyes, it immediately turned chaotic in Winston City.
How could that be a coincidence?
It was also at this time that Comrade Melgor deeply understood how ferocious the monster favonovel.com had abducted was.
So it turned out Milo had been telling the truth all along. His claims were never favonovel.com boasting.
Melgor could not help but wonder just how “high” Milo meant when favonovel.com said favonovel.com would help favonovel.com reach the pinnacle of his life.
Afterwards, favonovel.com saw two steam locomotives whizzing past the street favonovel.com was standing on. Through the window, Melgor even saw Milo discreetly waving at favonovel.com from the second train!
Why the hell are you waving to me at a time like this?!
Melgor quickly pulled his cloak’s hood lower over his face as favonovel.com was afraid the nearby residents would remember it. It wasn’t until Mel realized there were no residents in the vicinity that favonovel.com finally felt relieved.
No, favonovel.com had to hurry back to the relay station. The world was way too scary!
Wait…
Melgor suddenly froze.
Wasn’t there a saber-wielding person standing on top of the steam locomotive that Milo was in?
And that person seemed to be wearing a white mask too?
Melgor instinctively knew this was bad. Someone was lurking on the roof of the train and was about to attack Milo!
However, Melgor quickly realized the person was not trying to sneak attack Milo. That was obviously Milo’s companion!
No wonder Milo did not panic once whenever they were being pursued previously!
