With the fall of these experts, the events for the day had come to an end.
However, all the guards from the mayor's manor and the spectators outside were still shocked by the purple thunder they had just seen.
All the experts who had been stirring so much stuff in Vader City had died just like that?
This gave them a surreal feeling.
It was as if they were dreaming.
"Let's deal with the corpses first." Only when Laylen spoke did he bring the crowd back from their shock. Some of the guards quickly rushed over and began to deal with the corpses.
While they were dealing with the corpses, the guards handed over the interspatial rings they found on to Laylen.
After all, these were the coffers of tier 3 and 4 experts. There were definitely many things inside.
However, Laylen did not want them. Instead, he let all the guards share everything in them. This made the guards extremely excited. They shouted, "Long live the young mayor!".
"Grandma Evelyn, this is the control token of the Berserk Thunder Cage." Following that, Laylen passed the control token of the magic array to Evelyn and told her the incantation to bring up the formation.
Every magical formation had a unique control token and incantation when created.
Compared to the excitement and excitement in the mayor's mansion, the outside world was in chaos.
In a tavern, a large number of disciples of the Shadow Church were gathered here. A few branch bishops were so anxious that they were like ants on a hot pan. They were all at a loss for a moment.
"What should we do?! The Archbishop has fallen. Should we escape Vader City as well?"
The death of Shadow had caused the Shadow Church to lose its leader. There were only a few tier 3 branch bishops left. However, there were also several Tier 3 experts in the mayor's mansion who were in no way weaker than them.
They were afraid that the people in the mayor's mansion would come out to settle the score with them.
"Run, of course, we have to run. The further, the better!" Another branch bishop made a prompt decision.
At the same time, in another tavern, the members of the raging fire mercenary group were gathered there.
Previously, during the great battle in the mayor's mansion, some of them had gone to watch. They were planning to wait for the big shots to take down the mayor's mansion, and then they would be able to get some gold coins and magic ores. In the future, they would be able to live a happy life. They did not expect that their leader and the other big shots would be trapped by the Berserk Thunder cage.
All the members panicked. Hence, the leader of the mercenary group immediately made the same decision as that of the Shadow Church, which was to run away overnight.
Their leader was already dead. If they did not leave, would they wait for the mayor's guards to come out and settle the score with them?
As for the two big families in Vader City, the Duke family, and the Andre family. When they heard the news of their family head's death, the entire mansion was filled with laments.
The situation had changed too quickly.
More than ten minutes ago, they were still fantasizing about a few experts taking down the mayor's mansion and sharing the resources together. Their family would become an existence that was second only to the grand knight family in Vader City.
However, just a moment ago, they had received news that the patriarch of their family had died.
Once the patriarch of their family fell, their family would soon cease to exist too. They relied on the fact that they had a peak tier 3 expert to hold the fort for them all. In the past, they had offended many people in the city.
Now that things had come to this, those people would definitely not let him off.
In grand knight's mansion, Creed was still sitting on a chair. His mood was extremely relaxed. He had even brewed a cup of black tea and was enjoying it happily.
He silently waited for the informant sent out to bring him the good news.
"Master! Master! Bad news! Bad news!!"
Suddenly, someone who seemed out of breath came in.
"What's all the fuss about? Whatever happens, I am here to settle anything." Creed felt annoyed at the words 'bad news'. It was more than ten minutes ago. The subordinates of those big forces had said that this was bad.
Then, their sons were killed by Laylen.
Now that he heard such unlucky words, Creed was obviously not happy.
"Something bad has occurred!" The servant's face was full of fear, and he said, "The Duke family patriarch, the Andre family patriarch, the leader of the mercenary group, Adventurer Bick, and Shadow Archbishop are all dead!"
"What?!"
Hearing this news, Creed immediately jumped up from his chair and grabbed the servant's collar. "All dead?! Who did it?!"
Creed could not believe his ears.
In the mayor's residence, only Liszt and Evelyn were at the initial stage of tier 3. However, one of them was an apothecary while the other was a formation master. Both of them were not good at fighting head-on. In terms of one-on-one combat, they would not be able to defeat any one of the five.
It would be even more impossible for them to fight two against five.
But now, they were all dead?
What was going on?
Could it be that Nelly was not dead?
However, even if Nelly was not dead, as a tier 4 expert, Shadow should still have the strength to fight Nelly with the help of four peak tier 3 experts. How could they get defeated so quickly?
When he thought of this, Creed's heart skipped a beat, and fear spread wildly in his heart.
The reason why the mayor was so powerful was that there was a large magical formation buried under the city, allowing the mayor to have a power advantage when fighting in the city. The reason Creed dared to rebel was that the mayor of Lin City had assured him that the poison was extremely powerful and anyone who had gotten it would die.
In addition, his son had also entered the Imperial Magical Academy.
If Nelly had been fine, even if he had ten thousand times the guts, he would not have dared to rebel.
"How did they die?" Creed felt a chill down his spine as he hurriedly asked.
The servant replied, "The five of them had already broken through the barrier. However, after they charged in, they fell into another magical formation."
"That magical formation could condense thunder to strike them. Even Shadow did not last a second before he was killed instantly."
"Impossible, how could there be a killing magical formation capable of killing a tier 4 expert in the mayor's residence?" Creed retorted subconsciously.
However, at this moment, a few experts had really died just like that. This was not something that he could not believe.
However, after knowing that it was not Nelly who personally did it, Creed could finally heave a sigh of relief. It seemed that Nelly Vader had reached a critical moment, or that he was already dead.
"Damn it..."
Creed let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
He was also a quasi-tier 4, but to break through to tier 4, he still needed a large number of resources.
And these resources could only be obtained after he controlled the mayor's mansion.
He had spent a lot of effort to rope in peak tier 3 or even tier 4 experts.
He didn't expect that they were all dead now.
Moreover, the news that the mayor's residence had a killing magical formation that could kill tier 4 experts had spread. If he wanted to continue looking for helpers, it was obvious that it was impossible.
After all, even a Tier 4 expert had died. Who would be willing to help him?
"Ang Li, whether I can become the mayor depends on you..." Creed muttered to himself. Then, he turned around and walked into the secret room. He took out a secret letter and handed it to the guard who had joined him the latest.
He instructed, "Send this letter to the Imperial Magic Academy as soon as possible and give it to my son."
