Chapter 658 -74 Mysterious Sorcerer at Victoria Port_2

Thieves and bandits, no matter how reckless, wouldn’t dare cross the Silver Family. If they truly dare to reach out and threaten your safety, we will shatter their hands with rifles!

Marvin patted the rifle in his hand, his tone filled with confidence as if stating an insignificant matter.

Hilowiz furrowed her brows slightly but said nothing else, only softly instructing him to be more cautious and pay attention to their surroundings.

As the daughter of Duke Aiden, she knew all too well the strength of the Sivier family.

The caravan had five hundred seventy-four seasoned family guards, equipped with the most advanced rifles purchased from the mysterious Ashen Empire of the North. freewebnøvel.com

Even the official military of nearby city-states would find them hard to defeat, let alone bandits and thieves in the wilds.

The cargo they were escorting this time was exceptionally important.

Within the carriages, in wooden boxes adorned with the Golden Sparrow Flower Badge, were stacked brand-new firearms, ammunition, even small cannons, with over three thousand basic rifles alone.

In that fierce “Tri-Emperor Battle,” military arms from the Ashen Empire made their appearance and quickly became popular across the continent with Wojin Commerce’s promotion.

It was clear why Duke Aiden had purchased a large amount of military arms—to strengthen the military power of the Sivier family.

Hilowiz looked out at the wilderness from the carriage; it was still so tranquil here, with only the faint chirping of insects audible.

Just then, she noticed the remnants of a carriage in a distant pile of rocks, and upon closer inspection, she could see shattered wheels, broken arms, and even heads crushed into pulp.

No, this kind of brutal scene couldn’t be created by mere bandits or highwaymen!

As the eldest daughter of the Sivier family, she was well-educated, almost a half Mage Apprentice, and understood the powers of superhuman beings.

Hilowiz’s expression suddenly changed, a serious shade emerging in her deep blue eyes. She reached out and ordered the caravan to halt.

“Marvin, stop.”

“Miss, we need to hurry. Lord Aiden said to deliver the goods before dark…”

“I said… stop. This is an order from me, as the person in charge of the Sivier Family Caravan.”

Hilowiz’s tone was firm, and her aqueous eyes conveyed an unmistakable intensity—that unique Sivier gaze that even made Marvin’s heart tremble.

“Yes, Miss.”

Marvin took the command seriously, albeit reluctantly, halting the guards and coachmen ahead; all members of the caravan stopped and waited.

Yet, to this loyal and devoted old guard, the young Miss seemed overly suspicious, lacking the demeanor expected of a major family’s heir.

This was after all near Victoria Port, who would dare provoke the currently thriving Sivier family?

Ahead was the narrow Carl Valley, which could only allow one carriage to pass at a time, and the Sivier family’s caravan stopped right outside this valley, not moving any further.

“Miss, you really shouldn’t worry.

I’m too familiar with this Carl Valley, having passed through here hundreds of times over decades, easier than returning home…”

However, Hilowiz coldly interrupted him, pointing to the remnants of the caravan in the distance and commanded:

“Marvin, keep on guard, and send a squad of elites to check that area. If there’s indeed something unusual, we’ll detour from the east.”

“But, Miss…”

Marvin tried to speak, but faced with Hilowiz’s unquestionable gaze, he bowed his head and obeyed—after all, here was a potential future Duchess, the young Golden Sparrow Flower.

Just as he was preparing to send people, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly arose from the front of the caravan, followed by people’s cries and the neighing of horses.

“Ah—”

“Enemy attack! Protect the Miss!”

Marvin’s expression became tense at once; he quickly loaded his rifle and yelled to the surrounding guards.

He really hadn’t expected someone would dare trouble the Sivier family’s caravan!

Suddenly, a crisp and orderly sound emerged; the well-trained guards quickly loaded their weapons and gathered around Hilowiz’s carriage.

Marvin mounted his horse and identified the source of the moaning—a young coachman pierced by an arrow, with blood gushing out.

Then, numerous figures in black robes emerged from behind the boulders on the hillside, like shadows in the night.

“Praise the Sovereign God…”

“You are the only lord of this world, the master of all, and we will offer the sweet blood as a sacrifice to you…”

Their rasping low murmurs sounded like prayers, accompanied occasionally by eerie laughter, even making the battle-hardened Marvin feel a chill.

Marvin dismounted, drew his longsword towards the enemies, and shouted loudly, “Damn Cultists! Do you know whom you’ve provoked?

This is the Sivier Family Caravan! Your actions will incur the wrath of Duke Aiden! Wise up and get out if you know what’s good for you!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

The chilling laughter resounded again, and a tall, thin figure in a black robe holding a Bone Staff rasped, “The Sivier family…

Indeed, it’s them, capture Miss Hilowiz of the Sivier family! She will be the finest Sacrifice for the Sovereign God!”
