After Samiel looted the warehouses from the City of Torlen and obtained tonnes upon tonnes of resources, and stored them within the Dimensional Rings, he proceeded with the rest of his plans. Samiel quickly scouted the entire Industrial District of the Torlen, looking for anything that would sabotage his plans, like magical defenses around the district.
Yet fortunately for the attacker and unfortunately for the defenders, there were none, and the entire place was relatively unprotected. It was mind blogging that considering the purpose of the Torlen and all around that, one of the biggest industrial cities on the Human Continent, and the defenses around the city were on the level of a border village somewhere in a godforsaken desert.
After making sure that there were no magical defenses or any other types of countermeasures again attacks on the industrial district, which baffled Samiel to no end, he decided to look for a suitable spot where he could start casting.
He needed some nice spot from which he would have a view of the entire Industrial District of the Torlen so that he could cast the Void Bombs on all places accordingly to his plan in his mind, so he destroyed the whole district thoroughly. Fortunately, there were a good number of towers across the entire Torlen, and even in the district itself, there were some, so Samiel only needed to choose the best one, which had the best view.
Soon enough, he chose one of the towers in the industrial district, which he deemed to be the best fit for the task, as he swiftly climbed atop of the tower. When he was climbing the tower, he encountered only one man, who was probably some keeper of the place, but he was killed in one hit, as he was not even Level 5, clearly an ordinary civilian.
After Samiel took the position, he started conjuring the Void Bombs, and at the same time, he was using the Metamagaic Technique, Empower Spell on each Void Bomb, to make the spells even more devastating than they already were. He knew that if he boosted the Void Bomb through the Metamagic Technique Empower Spell, its destructive prowess would reach standards of a slightly weaker 6th Level Spell.
Instantaneously, a space twisted in many ways in several places high above the Industrial District of the City of Torlen, as the Void Energy condensed itself into several small balls and freely fell onto the Industrial District. Everything took only several seconds as Samiel heard and saw enormous series of explosions that enveloped the entirety of the district and even beyond.
Smoke clouded the sky to such an extent that the sun rays barely fell onto the city in distress, and one could hear the screams of people either from despair or pain, as it was like music for his ears, like the one from the best musicians in the Cosmos were playing their instruments solely for him on a nice dark evening.
Then he outstretched his hands and chanted something in the Eldritch Language the R'Lyehian, when a small purple magic circle appeared in the air before him and started catching all souls of the deceased.
Samiel was using this opportunity to collect himself some souls, because this was an ideal place to do it. Usually, he couldn't do anything like this because he feared that somebody would notice, and that would bring him just endless troubles. Still, right now, they were in place far behind the frontlines, and it was quite a desolate place where nobody was watching and thus, it was safe to collect souls en masse.
Soon enough, he noticed that the number of souls he collected had already crossed thousands, as the people were dying extremely fast under the destructive might of the Void Bombs. 5th Level Spell of the Void Magic, the Void Bomb was extremely destructive in nature; if Samiel had to compare it to something, it would be like using some kind of small tactical nuclear weapon in terms of firepower.
Of course, it would be wrong to forget that the Void Corruption was right now spreading across the entire district because Samiel overused the Void Magic here a bit, and due to that, the entire place was seethed in the Void. The Void was taking everything, and everything that came into contact with the Void was getting destroyed, decomposed or drained out of life.
Samiel knew that this area of the former City of Torlen would be uninhabitable for upcoming centuries due to the corrosion done by the Void, which had steeped in the ground, the earth, the water and even in the air. Nobody and nothing would be able o survive here, as it would take a lot of time for the area to recuperate unless some powerful Magician or someone else came here and cleansed it... though about this, Samiel seriously doubted because he knew that such powerful Legendaries who could banish remnants of the Void from the world had better things to do than to wander to the lower Floors of the Tower.
He already saw how the entire city was in a panic because nobody knew what was happening, and soldiers were heading towards the Industrial City from all parts of the city, completely abandoning their posts and defenses to help with the rescue works and other necessary things. It appeared that the City Watch reacted faster than he initially expected.
p
'Everything according to the plan.'
Samiel thought and waited for half an hour; such time was chosen by him purposely because nothing was left to accident and he calculated every possible outcome through the Level 4 Transcendentla Ability Architect; thus he came to the conclusion that exactly thirty minutes would be all that he needed before he could continue with his plans.
During the thirty minutes, all troops and people would arrive at the destroyed Industrial District and would already start helping and doing some tasks, even further distracting them from what was going to happen.
After the last second from the half an hour passed, Smaiel sent a mental command to all of his Undeads and Ashimer, who were already waiting for the right time to strike, as the Undead Army of more than one thousand Undeads moved under the leadership of the Higher Undead, Frost Death Knight and mighty Ork Champion Dharzug.
The Undead Army was rushing at the City as an unstoppable force of nature, as it soon arrived at the gates o the City of Torlen, and started laying the siege on the gate, with Ashimer and Dharzug were releasing their most powerful attacks directly at the gate in the hopes of breaching through the defenses.
And as expected, the half-assed defenses of the Torlen, soon enough, crumbled under the might of the two elite Silver-Tier individuals as the gate was breached and the Undeads poured into the city in hundreds as they dispersed and started slaughtering everything that lived.
In the end, the Torlen wasn't built with the defenses in mind and even the walls and gates were built with rather ordinary materials that couldn't really stop anything beyond Steel-Tier or probably some half-assed Bronze-Tier that was extremely weak, but that was that.
All Undeads were fascinating creatures because all of them were instinctively sense every living being; thus they were effectively able to hunt them down. In a moment, after the gates of the Torlen were breached, Ashimer and Dharzug were intercepted by the human Silver-Tier Professionals, who appeared to have Class related to the Knighthood, as they wore heavy armors, and were armed with longswords and shields.
Still, that didn't stop the other Undeads, as they spread across the streets of the City and started carrying out a merciless slaughter of everything that lives, as they hunted down anyone with Life Force. The Undeads typically had a great deal of hatred for everything that was alive and would stop at nothing to kill it.
Samiel watched all of this happening from his high place at the top of one of the Torlen's towers while the human troops finally realized what was going on and that they were under attack. The towers of the Torlen were high enough to provide Samiel nice view of the happenings in the entire city as he was enjoying the show that was unfolding down there.
Thus the commander in charge of the troops that were dispatched to the former industrial district of the Torlen once again changed their direction stopped whatever they were doing, and headed towards the main gate of the Torlen, where there was the greatest concentration of the Undeads.
Samiel even saw two Silver-Tier Professionals moving with them, as he noticed that the remaining three were already near the gates and should be right now fighting against the Ashimer and Dhurzag.
Shaking his head, he looked at one of the duo, one who seemed to be a bit weaker, wearing mainly a leather light armor, made from some time of magical beast, before he started condensing the might of Winter Ruler in the shape of several icicles and releasing all of them at the weaker Silver-Tier human Professional.
In a split of seconds, the person in question was bombarded with tens if not hundreds of icicles, all of them containing the full power of Samiel Zentaur because he used everything he had, and from his nice spot atop of the tower, he watched as the Silver-Tier human Professional was torn to shreds by the icicles conjured by the Winter Ruler.
Afterward, he disappeared from the tower where he was hiding and went to find his next target was the City Lord. He instructed Yvraine to go through the personal holdings of the de'Charetier House that were on the 8th Floor of the Tower in hopes of finding something useful.
It was clear that the Avalon Kingdom started showing its fangs and wanted to stretch its wing, and Samiel thought that it was appropriate time to clip their wings and pull out their fangs before they became a real problem, aside from just being a nuisance.
***
Back at the main gates of the Torlen, blows were exchanged between the Ashimer and one of the Silver-Tier Professionals of the Human Brotherhood as they fought for over five minutes without a decisive victor, but it was clear that the Frost Death Knight had the upper hand.
Ashimer was slowly using the Level 1 Ability Frost Aura to freeze body parts and equipment of his opponent, thus causing him injuries, draining his stamina and, at the same time, lowering his combat prowess by getting rid of his equipment.
Level 1 Ability Frost Aura was very useful in this aspect because while its offensive potential wasn't that high, it had more of supportive potential than brute force and destructive capabilities. Freezing someone's limbs during the fight would be basically like a death sentence, so even an unassuming ability like Frost Aura could be quite deadly when used at the right time and the right way.
As the Frost Death Knight, he was very powerful, considering the fact that he had just reached Level 56 and was able to overpower a human Professional who was above Level 65 and clearly had injured himself through that weird synergy that the humans were using to increase his combat prowess tremendously.
Even with that, it was clearly the future, as the Higher Undead was pushing him further and further. Ashimer's skills with a sword far eclipsed out that of his opponent, as the human Professional was on the lower end, be it in the skill or the raw power, and soon enough, he found himself to be on the edge of the Frost Death Knight's blade, which swiftly took his life.
Similarly, the duel between Dharzug and his Silver-Tier opponent from the Human Brotherhood came to an end after Dharzug cleaved the man in two vertical halves with his war axe, "da big choppa".
After the Silver-Tier Professionals from the Human Brotherhood were killed by them, they joined their troops, with Ashimer taking command of the Undeads and Dharzug searching for any opponent to kill. Ork being as combative as the rest of his species was, probably even more, wanted to have some more fun before they left because the fight with the Silver-*Tier Professionals of the Human Brotherhood wasn't satisfying at all.
There were not many strong opponents reaming in the City of Tolren, as with each swing of his war axe "da big choppa" Dharzug took the lives of several human troops that were fighting against the Undead tide as he was cleaving his way through the city, and heading towards the City Lord's Mansion, in the hope of finding anyone strong.
After he severed the head of another human soldier, he noticed another of the Silver-Tier Professionals from the Human Brotherhood. It took some time to find new opponents, but fortunately for the Will of the Green Gods, it yielded the expected results.
He grinned happily because he finally found an enemy that won't be killed within several seconds, or at least, so he hoped, but that hope would be soon crushed into oblivion.
Dharzug gripped his war axe "da big choppa" and rushed at the human Silver-Tier Professional and with full force, he swung his war axe "da big choppa" at the human, who raised his enormous shield, with the intention of blocking it, only for him to be shot away, crashing through several buildings, as the strike from Dharzug sent him flying.
"Weaker than anticipated."
The Ork muttered under his breath as he tried to sense if the opponent whom he sent flying was dead or alive, coming to the conclusion that he died from the attack after he didn't sense any life from the direction where he crashed.
That could be considered as insta-kill.
He didn't dwell long on the thing, as he decided to continue with his target and chopped one head after another, as he soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, where he saw Samiel Zentuar, who right now arrived at the fortress.
