It is undoubtedly a wiser move to take the initiative while the situation is still under control. If a few key individuals can be captured, information may be extracted through interrogation.
"Thank you for your teachings, Archbishop Anthruk." Aaron, after careful thought, respectfully bowed.
"Everything is according to Ella's will!" Anthruk spoke freely, and then, as if sensing something, he made no movement as several dazzling light arrows appeared in the void, instantly pinning four gray brids to the tree.
Three seconds later, a dazzling fireball flew out from the nearby mansion, and the explosion illuminated the sky.
Anthruk looked up, his vision enhanced by the divine magic piercing through hundreds of meters of distance. Through the window on the third floor, he saw Lynn and the others looking out.
Dark hair, black eyes, medium build, handsome features...
It was the wizard named Karl who had killed Brenny!
"Full speed ahead, everyone!" Anthruk commanded without hesitation.
Since they had already been discovered, there was no longer any need to hide. The soldiers, who had previously been walking slowly, immediately broke into a run. The soldiers didn't hesitate for a moment. They stormed up the cobblestone path that led to the mansion, their battle cries ringing through the air.
Several minutes later, the gates of the estate were violently opened once again. The soldiers, armed with swords and shields, surrounded the castle in orderly teams of ten.
Aaron led the charge, leading several soldiers straight into the mansion. As they passed through the long, wide road, the front row of shield-bearers had just entered when they retreated in fear, one by one.
Unfortunately, they were still too slow. Several glowing hot fireballs fell from above like meteorites, crashing into the crowd.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Then came a loud explosions, the fireballs rapidly expanding and bursting, the previously orderly and tight formation instantly becoming a chaotic sea of people.
"AHHH--"
"ARGHH!!'
Accompanied by miserable screams, countless body parts and crimson blood spattered, bodies flew, and the heavy smell of blood, charred organs and smoke filled the air.
Despite the fact that the troops participating in this encirclement operation were the elite picked from the Nordland army, every person was fully armed, but in the face of powerful spell, they still lost the formation in an instant.
"Everyone retreat! organize a line and form Berkus Formation! Archers shoot!" The only composed Aaron raised his staff and shouted loudly.

"Don't panic!! Ella is watching above us!"
"Kill these sinners without mercy!!"
"Have no fear as we have been given an important mission!"
The soldiers shouted countless slogans to lift their morale and organize themselves. The chaotic group immediately calmed down, order was restored, and the eyes of all people shone with white fluorescence. The fear gradually disappeared, and an inexplicable courage filled the minds of everyone.
This was exactly a first-ring divine magic--[Dispel Fear]!
Under Aaron's command, the soldiers in front pushed their sturdy shields forward and stepped forward, while the soldiers behind them neatly drew out their bows and crossbows.
Long-distance simultaneous shooting has always been the best method for dealing with wizard apprentices!
The turtle-like shield formation greatly reduced the power of ordinary magic, making it impossible for [Magic Missiles] to break through the defense. Even the damage of the powerful Fireball spell would be reduced significantly .
The dense rain of arrows forced the wizard apprentices to retreat again and again, forcing them to hide behind the wall to avoid it. The slowest to react, Batun, was unfortunately struck in the back by a crossbow bolt and fell to the ground in distress.
"Batun--!" Buck frantically called out his brother's name and rushed forward, desperately trying to lift him up.
Aaron, who had been waiting for an opportunity, gave another command, dozens of strong crossbows pointing towards the two of them at the same time. As the crossbow triggers were pulled, a dense shower of feather arrows poured down like a meteor shower.
A first-ring magic--[Ice wall]!
Without hesitation, Aubrey stepped in front of the two men, raised her hand, and a transparent frosted water curtain appeared in front of her, instantly condensing into an ice crystal wall.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
The sound of intense impacts rang out, cold shards of ice scattered on the ground. Within two seconds, the continuous rain of arrows had broken through the [Icewall], with three flowing arrows shooting straight towards Aubrey!
Aubrey, who had just completed an overclock casting with the help of [Magic Hand], had no time to make a second Ice wall, and behind her were Beck and Batun...
"I can't afford to dodge!"
Aubrey bit her lip and forcibly stopped her body's evasive action, holding a sword and small circular shield but unable to stop the shooting arrow headed her way.
Just then, one Magic Missile flew over from the side, accurately shooting down the arrow and detonating, causing the other two arrows to scatter.
Aubrey was stunned and didn't even have time to experience the joy of surviving a crisis when she saw seven more [Magic Missiles] pass by her side. Strangely, the flight paths of these magic constructs were not pure straight lines, but bizarre arcs, easily passing over the shield wall and directly attacking the crossbow-wielding guards in the back.
The brief chaos stopped the continuous rain of arrows for a moment, and Aubrey, Beck, and Batun took the opportunity to hide behind a low wall, looking curiously at Lynn and Dove standing nearby, an idea spontaneously popping up in their minds.
When did Dove become so formidable?
However, they soon realized that the person who took action was not the young girl, because the next moment, no fewer than twelve [Magic Missiles] condensed in the void, hovering at the side of Lynn.
[Missile Barrage]! Lynn's mind moved, and dozens of missiles rushed towards a group of guards.
Witnessing this magic, Aaron quickly commanded the soldiers with shields nearby to gather together, layering their shields on top of each other without a gap, forming a semi-circular shape to protect the others behind them.
However, to everyone's surprise, these dozens of missiles all coincidentally bypassed the shielded wall and flew towards the back.
Did it miss?
Aaron thought to himself, but quickly denied the possibility. If only one or two [Magic Missiles] missed, there was still a chance. If all of them deviated from the track, it could only mean that the other party's initial target was not here! Aaron turned his head fiercely, and the twelve missiles almost hit the mottled standing guard post's pillars behind at the same time. In the midst of the smoke and dust, the five-stories high building fell straight down.
