At the heart of the verdant island, beneath a towering, centuries-old tree hundreds of meters tall, stood a magnificent and ornate castle.

Enclosed within the ancient city walls surrounding it were various Western-style buildings, resembling a miniature city.

In the past, the Earl's castle at the core exuded an aura of peace and beauty. However, today, a colossal bolt of lightning descended from the sky like a natural disaster, awakening everyone within the city.

"What was that? Is someone attacking us?"

"Impossible, this is the Earl's castle."

"What's going on?"

Soldiers, servants, and maids within the city all turned their gaze towards the sky. The massive protective barrier that completely enveloped the castle had already shattered a layer under the thunderous roar of the lightning, and cracks were appearing on the second of the remaining two layers.

Sounds of terror and confusion arose from within the city. For the populace who had always lived under the prestigious name of the Earl of Emerald Isle, the idea that someone would dare to attack the Earl's castle was unimaginable.

The sound of hooves and footsteps echoed on the pathways as troops clad in magical equipment swiftly mobilized from all directions towards the city gates. Although the attack on the castle was astonishing, these troops were, after all, the elite under the Earl of Emerald Isle. Upon discovering the intrusion, they immediately organized and rushed to provide support.

Outside the North Gate of the Earl's Castle.

On the open ground, Ye Mo, the Golden Skeleton King, Bai Ling, Bai You, and Little Willow stood quietly a few hundred meters away, leisurely observing the city ahead.

Above them, Han Han, wielding lightning and crowned with the Wrathful Thunder Crown, had already unleashed his domain, continuously attacking the sturdy barrier in front, accompanied by resounding thunder.

"This magic array is indeed impressive. Although Han Han hasn't entered his Thunder Tyrant form yet, the power he's unleashing is probably at the peak of Tier 4. Yet, this is the best he can do. If we want to completely break this turtle shell, it seems we'll have to put in some effort."

Stroking his chin, Ye Mo looked at the barrier ahead and spoke with a hint of approval.

Beside him, Little Willow yawned, seemingly bored. As long as Daddy didn't ask her to act, she wouldn't take the initiative.

Bai Ling, on the other hand, was very interested, her eyes fixed on the barrier with its powerful defense, constantly pondering how she would break it if she were to act.

Not far away, Bai You stood on the ground, observing the formation he was setting up, or rather, the formation he was nearing completion of, only stuck on the final step, unable to proceed.

Although this siege, logically speaking, with a true Tier 5 Golden Skeleton King, plus Little Willow and Han Han, two near Tier 5 combatants, seemed foolproof, Ye Mo's heartfelt caution still led Bai You to prepare a few more contingencies.

In case something unexpected happened, he would have a way to respond.

This was also Ye Mo's consistent thinking: if he could crush them, he would crush them; if he could have an extra backup plan, he would have an extra backup plan. After all, he only had one life, and no amount of caution was excessive.

Moreover, the opponent they were facing this time was an old Earl family with hundreds of years of heritage. Who knew what hidden resources they might possess?

Just as Han Han's lightning continued to bombard the barrier, the Earl of Emerald Isle within the city had successfully joined forces with the Guardian Knight Order.

"Earl, you've arrived."

At the center of the castle, a middle-aged knight clad in silver armor walked over, addressing the Earl of Emerald Isle with a steady voice.

Seeing this man, the somewhat anxious Earl of Emerald Isle instantly felt a sense of reassurance. He calmly said, "Dylan, it's good that you're here. Let's go. I want to see who dares to attack my castle."

Upon hearing this, Grand Knight Dylan turned to look behind him, at his three hundred-strong Guardian Knight Legion clad in Tier 3 magic equipment.

"Rest assured, Earl. No matter who the opponent is, my legion and I are confident in annihilating them."

Faced with these words, the Earl of Emerald Isle didn't think the other party was being arrogant, because Grand Knight Dylan was indeed the strongest knight under his command. Adding his legion, their strength was undoubtedly the strongest under him, even if the Tier 5 Blackrock Sword Saint arrived, they would be able to fight.

"I'm naturally relieved with you here, but the attackers aren't weak either. You should have felt the commotion just now. Even if they're not as strong as your legion, they probably aren't too far off. We still need to be careful."

"I understand, my lord."

Just as the Earl of Emerald Isle and Grand Knight Dylan were chatting, several figures flew over from not far away, one of whom was the black-clad man from before, and the others were not weak either, and looked quite old.

"You've finally arrived. Did you bring everything?" Seeing the newcomers, the Earl of Emerald Isle couldn't wait to ask.

Among the people who arrived, the eldest old man nodded slightly, a trace of reluctance showing between his eyebrows, but he eventually began to speak: "We've brought everything. Take it. This is almost all the foundation of our family. Use it sparingly."

After all, development was the most important thing for any family, so most of the foundation left by the Earl of Emerald Isle family was in resources, knowledge, and other aspects, while those used for combat, and those used to face high-level combat, were only these twenty or so magic scrolls.

Although the number was not large, the worst of these magic scrolls was a Tier 4 magic scroll, sealing a powerful wind-type magic. Most of the other magic scrolls were Tier 4, but they were either rare, powerful, or both among the Tier 4 scrolls, and their value was immeasurable.

After all, although magic scrolls were one-time magic props, they could truly release powerful spells like a Tier 4 Archmage after use, with extremely low consumption and not weak power. And the magic scrolls in his ring were even more extraordinary. If the magic within were released, even if a Tier 4 Domain-level mage released magic, its power would be like this.

What's more, there were two magic scrolls that had magic fluctuations that proved they had exceeded the scope of Tier 4 and reached the level of Tier 5, and this was his most powerful trump card.

With these, no matter who the opponent was, he would make them deeply realize what the consequences would be for daring to attack their Earl of Emerald Isle.

After exhaling, the Earl of Emerald Isle, regaining his confidence, glanced at everyone and said seriously: "Now that everything is ready, let's go."

Hearing this, Grand Knight Dylan and the Guardian Knight Order he led responded one after another, and the black-clad man not far away and the old men of the Earl family also nodded.

In the next moment, under the leadership of the Earl of Emerald Isle and Grand Knight Dylan, the entire Guardian Knight Legion closely followed behind them, and together quickly rushed to the north city gate that was bombarded by lightning.
