Clearing up sector 11 was much more difficult than clearing section 13, and the casualties toll was much higher as well.
Max's army was down from the initial 250,000 to 200,000, whereas The Kingsman clan were down from 550,000 to 425,000 soldiers.
The Kingsman clan had lost 23 of their 150 Tier4 fighters, whereas the rebels lost 14 of their 250.
The fight was ever so slightly tilted in the favour of the rebels for now, but with 10 sectors and an inner district left to conquer, the city was truly difficult to capture.
The mage tower at the end of sector 11 was a nearly 50 storey tall building that could be located easily from anywhere inside Dombivli City.
It was a structure that was built for tier 6 archmages to display their true power and was an ancestral building that represented the Kingsman clan's true glory.
700 years ago, an archmage by the name of Graham Smith served the then Kingsman ruler. ( Will Kingsman's father )
During his time, no foreign powers could eye dombivli city because of the terrifying might of the mage tower.
An army of a few hundred thousand could be squashed like bugs by the archmage without batting an eye.
Ever since his death, there was no other mage who was powerful enough to wield the powers of the mage tower and cooperate with the Kingsman clan as the once magnificent structure capable of mass destruction was reduced to an air defence mechanism.
The inherent spell powered through inscriptions and runes inside the mage tower was called [ Starlight Tracer ]
It was a spell that traced any foreign object entering dombivli's atmosphere and destroyed it with a very strong light based attack.
Each shot of the starlight tracer contained the strength of a peak tier5 spell and could thoroughly damage even a destroyer class battleship.
Hence although the mage tower without the archmage was a hollow artefact unable to express it's true might, it was still a deterrent for enemy forces who had their sights set on dombivli.
If possible, Max wanted to leave the mage tower intact and not destroy it, since it would be an invaluable asset for him once he captured the city.
But if the need arose, he had no qualms about destroying it either.
" I don't wish to destroy your tower, but if you don't deactivate it peacefully, I will be forced to take action " Max said as he threatened the few tier4 warriors guarding the entrance to the mage tower.
" You heard him- so now move bitch! " Anna said as she arrived after clearing her lane to the mage tower as well, as Max tacitly nodded in her direction acknowledging her presence.
" You should move, I think the tower has not been properly cleaned for over 500 years, deactivate it so I can do some maintenance work " Severus said as he appeared out of nowhere beside Max, startling the captain of the army.
Max frowned, he could not understand why his [ way of the wind ] could not detect Severus, but while he was only mildly upset, there was one individual who was even more upset than he was.
That individual was Zippo, the shadow guard could not believe that his senses were unable to pick up Severus's arrival.
The other party's stealth had reached inhuman levels.
" Hahahaha - Am I the last one to arrive to the party?
Well- No worries, I'll be the first one to cut them bastards down if they don't move!
So what will it be? " Sebastian said as he arrived at the mage tower after clearing his lane as well
Besides the gang, thousands of rebel soldiers also flooded the plaza where the mage tower was located, putting immense pressure on the few tier4 warriors protecting the structure.
" I can respect Captain Ravan, he is a formidable warrior of the vampire clan, if fate did not pit us against one another, I would be fighting with him against the enemies of the kingdom.
However, while I can let his threats slide, I WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT TAKE SHIT FROM SOME PUNY DWARF, SOME MAN WHO IS STANDING IN A BATTLEFIELD WITH A FUCKING BROOM AND A WOMAN " The vampire plated with thick silver armour and huge shield, guarding the entrance to the mage tower said as he made his stance about retreating pretty clear.
" Well, since you insulted me first, now allow me to dismantle you to pieces " Sebastian said as he charged towards the enemy lines alone, while madly shouting as he trotted with his small legs.
He was using his special move [ Attract Attention ] as while the guardians focus was on his funny looking charge, Anna was preparing her [ Power Shot ] as she gathered the strength and took precise aim.
*SHUA*
Anna let an arrow fly from her now as it travelled at nearly the speed of sound leaving a buzzing sensation to anyone's ears unfortunate enough to be passed by.
-220,000 CRITICAL HIT!
That arrow hit the guardian straight into his right eye as it pierced his eye socket into his brain before coming halfway out of the back of his skull.
A critical hit! One that had taken down the full HP bar of the tank to a dangerous red, as the timely attack created an opening for Sebastian to sneak out of his targets vision before appearing above his head to deliver an [ Overhead Slash ]
-120,000 CRITICAL HIT!
With just two hits, the mighty tier4 warrior responsible to hold the enemy lines fell to his miserable death as panic spread fast amongst the Kingsman forces
In a scene that Max or any rebel soldier would never forget in their LIFETIME, they saw Sebastian the dwarf chasing 5 tier4 warriors alone while howling as they ran for their lives.
Chants of " Dwarf and Elf are Death and Danger " could be heard throughout the battlefield, as the morale of the rebel army soared to new heights.
Max grinned hearing these chants as he looked back towards Anna who was smugly dusting off her shoulders as she said " Not too bad for a woman eh? "
