Chapter 830: Chapter 436: Cracking Black Rock and Obtaining Ambros 1

Facing Ivita’s questioning, all the nobles and city council members of Ambros lowered their heads in shame, as it had been their disregard for the commoners of Ambros, acting only in their own interests, that had led to the current situation.

Ivita continued coldly, "The Sons of Forest, Druids, and the dark giants don’t want to rule over you; they just want to eliminate the humans of Ambros."

"Continuing your internal strife is pointless. If it hadn’t been for my intervention, you all would be dead by now."

All present were momentarily speechless.

This was especially true for the local nobility and senior guild members within Ambros Territory, who now also felt an internal condemnation.

Compulsion Viscount suddenly gritted his teeth and said to everyone and Ivita, "I must inform you all of a situation. I once spoke with some vagrants suspected to be Druids, and they told me that they wanted to unearth a treasure in this city."

Everyone looked at him, knowing what the Viscount meant—he had certainly been colluding with the Druids.

But at this moment, no one wanted to start another dispute, so they didn’t expose him.

Ivita asked Compulsion Viscount, "What treasure?"

Compulsion Viscount shook his head. "I have no idea what the treasure is, those Druids wouldn’t tell me, but I know it’s very important to them. There must be such a treasure beneath Ambros City."

The Speaker of the City Council suddenly said, "Mr. Giant’s words remind me of my duties. I should be protecting this city, protecting the half-million civilians behind us."

"Now, we should contemplate how to repel those Druids!"

The President of the Weaving Guild’s eyes suddenly lit up. "After repelling them, what then? Are we still enemies? Who will become the Grand Viscount of Ambros?"

The Governor of the Republic of Belisarius felt a sudden pang of fear that they might once again start infighting, completely eliminating any chance of survival. "Gentlemen, stop fighting now."

"First, let’s think about how to survive."

"The black stones in the hands of those dark giants leave us utterly defenseless."

Ivita suddenly intervened in their dispute, "How about this, whoever can repel those dark giants for Ambros can become the Mortal King. What do you think?"

The Speaker of the City Council and Compulsion Viscount seemed to have found a path forward.

The Viscount said, "Good idea, Mr. Giant. Let’s do it your way."

After discussing with the many dignitaries at his side, the Speaker also said to Ivita, "Our council agrees. Only those who protect Ambros deserve to be the Grand Viscount."

Their gazes were fierce, as if they had renewed their faith in the position of Grand Viscount.

Both parties thought that the contest proposed by Ivita was helping them select the rightful heir to the Mortal King.

But Ivita thought otherwise.

He glanced at the two men and then continued, "In this case, let the Viscount lead the nobility’s army on the west side, and the city council’s troops handle the east. You two try to keep the dark giants on the eastern side of the city."

Both sides were greatly encouraged.

Compulsion Viscount gritted his teeth and said, "Curse those Druids, using the gap we fought to create to attack Ambros."

"I will never let them go."

Ivita told the Speaker of the City Council, "At this time, let’s not use civilians as cannon fodder, that would just be a joke to those dark giants."

The Speaker slightly frowned, disliking Ivita’s commanding tone at the moment, but thinking about the urgency of competing for the position of Grand Viscount, he said to Ivita, "Rest assured, Mr. Giant, Ihad no intention of using them anyhow. These dark giants are an army, not individual monsters."

"The civilians would only disrupt our professional troops."

Ivita snorted coldly but said nothing more.

In the next half-hour, the nobility’s army and the Ambros City Council’s troops launched a counterattack, as they needed to prevent the Druids from actually beginning their plan to take over all of Ambros, thus this counterattack was seen as a battle of life and death.

The nobility’s army and the guild’s troops, having realized the urgency, successfully thwarted the dark giants.

After all, among the nobility’s army and guild’s troops, there were also many high-level professionals and hidden strengths.

But it was only a slowdown.

The nobility’s army and the guild’s troops fundamentally could not stop the advance of the dark giants. Seeing the nobility’s army and guild’s troops obstructing them from left and right, the dark giants suddenly ordered a march through the middle of both forces.

Then, they maneuvered around and attacked from the great rear of both troops.

Compulsion Viscount noticed this and wanted his troops to turn around and stop the dark giants’ movement, but the pressure from the battling dark giants on them was too great.

Similarly, over at the City Council’s troops, being attacked by forty-five dark giants, they had already lost hundreds of knights and attendants in the first round and fell into a huge predicament, barely managing to hold on.

The black stone was just too formidable.

Their troops’ defeat was just a matter of time.

But at that moment, Maximilian, the Ice Witch, the Snow Monster clan, and Kristin appeared from the sky, striking the dark giants from behind.

Maximilian’s Bearman’s roar stunned a dark giant for 1 second, during which the Ice Witch’s Frost Ring Spell broke the dark giant’s defense, followed by Kristin’s Hunter King Arrow hitting his heart, as the Snow Monsters continued to assault the dark giant.
