Iya Continent: Card God

Night, a dark night without moon or stars.

The night sky was shrouded in a veil of clouds and mist.

A team of a dozen elite men set off from Shankan City, traveling under cover of night, to reach the mining area far from the city.

This team was naturally led by the head of the Leer Herlan family.

These dozen or so people were all carefully selected and trained by the family over many years, and they would never betray them.

Of course, this is certainly not all the force. During the day, dozens of people had already been openly dispatched to the mine. However, this was merely to mislead the Maggie family, making them believe that they had taken countermeasures and strengthened their defenses. In reality, the true force against the enemy was the team that had just set off.

"Everyone stay together, don't get separated."

Knight Gob reminded him.

He held in his hand a finely crafted firefly oil lamp, its white-blue light perfectly illuminating the path. It wouldn't be too bright to attract attention, nor would it be extinguished by night winds or rain.

“Gobu,” the family head, Leer, suddenly spoke.

“My lord, I am here,” Gob replied.

The fluorescent blue light illuminated the dignified expression of the head of the Leer family, who was far from relaxed and at ease at this moment.

……

A necessary route to the mine.

In that secluded spot along the road, Dorn Maggie, the Wolf King, and Jim Maggie all arrived.

The Wild Wolf Bandits and the Maggie Family's subordinates were all in ambush, waiting for the enemy to be captured.

"It should be soon," the Wolf King said with a smirk.

Dorn Magee estimated the time and nodded slightly, "Hmm."

Jim Maggie said with a hidden agenda, "Father, I don't really need to come. I should have stayed in town..."

Upon learning that Jenny Herlan remained in the city, and knowing that his father was certain of victory and wouldn't need him, he decided he should lead men to deal with Herlan's residence, which Jenny was guarding. Otherwise, if she learned of the situation and fled, he would have no hope of seeing her humiliated. The thought filled him with a surge of excitement.

“What you’re thinking about is irrelevant,” Dorn said solemnly.

Of course he knew what his son was thinking. It was all pointless. As long as the patriarch, Leer, was eliminated, the Herlan family would naturally collapse. As for those useless fellows who escaped, so what?

"Heh, Patriarch Dorn, why don't you send Young Master Jim back? We don't need him here," the Wolf King sneered.

Dorn said in a deep voice, "This is a rare opportunity, and Jim should be here."

The deeper meaning is that he hopes his son can learn more and broaden his horizons. Today's battle with the Herlan family is an excellent opportunity. The future of the family depends on you. You must grow as much as possible and become someone like your father in the future.

Jim's face showed a mixture of willingness and reluctance.

Dorn glanced at him, wishing he could slap him across the face.

However, the sound of footsteps in the darkness made him tense and his attention shifted.

"coming!"

At this moment, everyone in the ambush became tense.

Everyone held their breath, afraid that the slightest mistake would cause a problem.

A cold wind rustled through the grass and trees on the mountainside, and in the darkness, a faint blue-white light shone through.

The leading knight, Gobu, walked ahead.

Behind him, the head of the Herlan family, Leer, followed.

Dorn Magee's eyes narrowed, and he took out a glass bottle from his sleeve. The bottle contained a shimmering liquid that occasionally crackled with lightning.

This was a high-quality low-grade magic potion that he had purchased at a great price in the main city of Sandel, capable of unleashing skills comparable to those of a low-level Gold-rank expert.

This potion is called "Lightning Bomb".

The Wild Wolf Thieves, lurking in the shadows, had a man with a cross-shaped scar on his face who remained calm.

My ears were more focused than ever before.

Because he himself was the commander of the first wave of attackers.

To prevent the enemy from reacting in time, the captain, the Wolf King, and the head of the Dorne family would not issue orders personally. Instead, they would seize the opportunity and act on their own.

In their line of sight, the knight Gob gradually approached.

Fang Lang gritted his teeth, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

Finally, unable to resist any longer, he gave the order.

"rise!"

The net buried in the ground was pulled up and swung up.

"puff!"

At the same time, the faint oil lamp in Gobu's hand went out, followed by Gobu's panicked cry, "Watch out! There's an ambush!"

Following Garou's lead, his other ambushing subordinates and companions also joined the fray.

Some pulled the ropes of the trap, while others fired powerful crossbow bolts. Their primary goal was to catch the Maggie family off guard.

"Whoosh!"

Next, it was Dorn's turn to act.

The magic potion and lightning bomb in his hand were unleashed with a deafening roar.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar erupted, its power immense, the flashing lightning dazzling, and the arcs of electricity scattering and splashing like a torrent crashing against rocks.

The thunderous bombardment was undoubtedly a strike from a Gold-level expert.

Under the influence of this magical power, the brothers who were lying in ambush were all thrown back by the aftershocks, and they were all trembling with fear.

As for the enemies here, their miserable state goes without saying.

It's probably been blasted to a crisp.

"Walk……"

In the dim light, a familiar figure let out a painful scream and escaped.

Dorn Magee couldn't possibly mistake that figure.

"As expected of the head of the Herlan family, he is still alive!"

Dorn didn't believe that a single, low-grade magic potion could kill his opponent. His opponent must have some tricks up their sleeve.

However, serious injuries were certain, and the elite of the Herlan family suffered heavy casualties. Now, their opponent was on the verge of collapse.

"Chase!" the wolf king said with a fierce and triumphant smile.

The Maggie family and the Wild Wolf Bandits began their pursuit.

The Wild Wolf Bandits, having spent years robbing and kidnapping in the mountains, were more adept at this than the Maggie family and were the first to pursue the enemy.

Jim Magee was stunned by the magic potion he had just used, and his heart was filled with excitement.

They charged forward with a spirit of passion and determination.

Dorn Magee ignored her son's behavior; Leer was no longer a threat.

“They’re trying to escape to the mines, where some family forces are located,” Dorn and the Wolf King analyzed.

The wolf king chuckled and said, "Heh, not worth mentioning."

Having said that, he moved swiftly, his imposing figure rushing out and heading off.

Dorn Magee looked at the spot where the "Thunder Bomb" had struck. The lightning had dissipated, leaving only a crater of scorching flames, billowing black smoke.

Dorn was amazed. "Is it really that powerful?"

It's unimaginable how horrific the massacre must have been of the Herlan family's elite troops who couldn't react in time. Their bodies were burned to ashes!

"call……!"

Dorn Magee let out a long breath, looked in the direction they were chasing, and followed the others toward the mine.

There, you'll find the treasure you've been searching for.
