With a little bit of privacy given to them, both brothers began conversing while looking at the estate before them.

"Brother..... Might I ask what you are doing here?

If I'm not mistaken, didn't you the father that you were currently within your castle in WhiteWood city?

So what brings my esteem brother here?" Connor asked calmly while looking at Eli with an unfathomable gaze.

If it were anyone else, they would've cowered in fear at the sight of Connor's domineering gaze.

But who was Eli?

He fluttered his thick black eyelashes and let out a subtle chuckle.

"Little brother, I came because someone told me some interesting news... And I'm only here to investigate how true the information is." He replied with a seemingly harmless smile on his face.

"Oh... What a coincidence, someone also told me an interesting piece of news, and I also came to investigate it as well.

Elder brother, you don't mind... Do you?"

"Me?

Of course not.

But if I did mind, then what could I possibly do about it?

You're already here, aren't you?

"So what else can I say?"

"Yes, elder brother... You are indeed right.

I am already here.

Here for good!"

.

Both brothers looked at each other silently, before finally separating from each other.

'Brother, I've already won!' Connor thought while departing with a broad smile on his face.

Eli smirked and looked at Connor lazily.

Sure enough, he had improved!

He no longer threw tantrums or even yelled out when provoked.

This bother of his now looked like a changed man through and through.

Eli couldn't help but wonder if it was now a trend for all of his brothers to change one by one.

First, it was that bastard brother of his in Baymard... And now it was Connor.

He would be stupid if he believed that both brothers had changed overnight.

For sure, they had to be people helping these good-for-nothings in the dark.

But why didn't these people come over to his side instead?

The thing that truly irked him the most, was the situation with Landon and Baymard.

If he had such a master that creates things alloys let him take credit for them, then wouldn't he be overly blessed?

That was why he couldn't understand why these hidden masters would choose to ally with these pieces of trash instead of his honourable self.

Heh... It really looked like he was crawling in a pit of snakes.

But when had he ever backed out from a fight?

That was just not his style!

.

Commander Capris!

It has been my honour to know you and have you as one of my teachers."

Capris turned around to look at the confidence, but graceful man who spoke to him and was completely taken aback.

He looked into the man's eyes through the battle helmet for a bit, before finally trembling from the realization of who the man was.

There was no doubt about it... This man was definitely their young master.

But what was he doing here?

Didn't he leave?

What about the rest of the Young Master's family?

Did they not leave as well?

"Young..."

"Please Capris, don't alarm the men." William said while stopping Capris from kneeling before him.

William looked at the first iron-barred gate and knew that the enemy would soon break it in no time.

In fact, the only reason why the enemy wasn't successful yet..... was because of the renowned archer's in Capris' team, who constantly shot arrows that contained black-powder towards the enemy from tiny holes up on the estate walls.

The enemy also shot black-power carrying arrows at the gates in attempts to destroy the gate.

But at the distance that they were at, only 10% of their shots actually caused any damage to the gate.

And this was because with William's elite archers, even though the enemies tried to use shields to cover their archers... These elite archers could shoot through any opening within a formation.

They shot the enemy's toes, ankle, ears and whatnot... Which instantly broke down the formation that protected the invading archers.

William looked at the second gate and knew that it was only a matter of time, before the second gate got brutally destroyed.

"Commander Capris, the first sector has already been breached..... and we are currently within the second sector, which also has one of the storage rooms in it.

So I need you and your men to get all the barrels of black-powder and do what I say."

"Yes, young... Yes, Commander Charles."

With that, Capris and the men got extremely busy.

The distance from the storage room to where they were, wasn't that far at all... Since all storage facilities within each section were built somewhat close to the gates, so that the men could grab what they needed and head out for battle.

And so in a blink of an eye, the remaining 145 men hastily followed Wil... No!... Commander Charles' plan dutifully.

"Make sure to leave trails of black-powder before you drop your barrels."

"Yes... Place those barrels, here, here, here and here.

That way, when we light up the trail of black-powder later on... It will blow them up to smithereens instead."

"Quickly!

Take these thin, sturdy ropes and stretch them out from one end of the field to another.

Even making them fall can be advantageous to us."

"Get the sac of grounded hallucinating mushrooms now."

"Yes, Commander Charles!"

(*^*)

.

With that, all the men followed Commander Charles' instructions and quickly set up a ton of traps within the first sector.

And midway through it all, they saw the archers hastily leave the second attack wall....which was basically the wall above the second gate, that separated the second sector from the first.

Seeing the elite archers leave the wall, only meant that the second gate would soon be breached.

'Boom!'

'Boom!'

'Boom!'

'Boom!'

With no mode archers to defend the place, the gate was now fiercely bombarded with gunpowder carrying arrows.

"Everyone, drop what you're doing and go to the third sector now!!" William yelled.

It didn't take long before the archer's made it back to ground level and joined the rest in running towards the second gate.

And just when they had made it, a series of loud shattering sounds pieced through the air one by one.

'Boooom!'

'Creeeekk!!!!!'

The Second gate had been destroyed.

"Everyone, quickly!

Seal up the third gate now!"

"Yes, Commander Charles!"
