Link opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, Robert interjected, "Miss, from their earlier conversation, it seems they are from a family called 'Lawrence'!"
"The 'Lawrence family'?"
Eileen pondered for a moment, her expression shifting to one of surprise as she exclaimed, "Isn't the 'Lawrence family' a hereditary viscount family from the City of Twilight? When did they become enemies with our 'Selhi' family?"
"Ah, ah, ah, young lady, I must correct you on that!"
At this moment, Link, who had been listening nearby, suddenly straightened his face and said solemnly, "First, while the 'Lawrence' family may currently be a small family, under my leadership, I believe it won't be long before we become the foremost family in the Glorious Empire, and it's not impossible to replace that worthless emperor!"
"What?"
Such audacious words left the crowd in stunned silence!
Yet Link continued unabated, "Second, there is no enmity between our families; on the contrary, we may very well become in-laws..."
"You!"
Finally, Link's repeated provocations ignited Eileen's fury!
"Robert, seize this shameless scoundrel!"
"Understood!"
Robert nodded heavily and waved his hand to the other guards behind the carriage!
In an instant, over a hundred guards surrounded Link, all wielding weapons and glaring at him with murderous intent!
"Are you all trying to bully me with numbers?"
Link raised an eyebrow at the sight, and without a second thought, he stomped his foot on the ground!
"Come forth!"
The next moment, a series of dull thuds echoed as countless skeletal soldiers and bone warriors erupted from the ground around the Selhi family's convoy, appearing in such numbers that they seemed endless!
"What?"
Seeing this scene, Robert nearly fainted, pointing at Link and stammering, "You... you're a summoner?"
"This is impossible! How can you summon so many creatures at once?" Eileen's face turned pale, her body trembling in fear!
The other members of the Selhi family were also terrified, huddling together as they gazed in horror at this unbelievable sight!
The sheer number of skeletal beings Link had summoned far exceeded their understanding!
"Tch, this is just the beginning!"
Seeing their reaction, Link couldn't help but smile with pride!
Of course, he wasn't trying to show off; the number of skeletal beings he had summoned was only around 500, far from his true limit!
Since advancing to a level 9 summoner apprentice, with the magic power he currently possessed, he could summon up to 1,000 skeletal soldiers, 30 bone warriors, and 3 skeletal kings in one go!
Moreover, with the entire realm of the undead as his backing, not only were his summoned creatures virtually limitless, but his magic power was also inexhaustible, so he never had to worry about running out!
This was the true nature of his monstrous ability!
It's no exaggeration to say that as long as Link didn't collapse from exhaustion, he could fight until the end of time without running out of magic or summoned creatures—he was practically a cheat!
"I'll give you one last chance: surrender and agree to my terms, or I will take action!"
With the countless undead surrounding him, Link felt a surge of confidence as he issued his final ultimatum to the Selhi family!
"Miss, this guy is not easy to deal with. I'll find a way to capture him; you must protect yourself!"
Robert, ignoring Link's conditions, urgently spoke to Eileen!
"Okay, I will do my best to hold off these summoned creatures and prevent them from obstructing you!"
Eileen decisively understood that the most effective way to deal with a summoner was to control the summoner himself, preventing him from continuing to summon more creatures!
In the next moment, Robert raised his sword and charged at Link!
Boom...
A pale blue light surged from his body, enveloping him like a blazing flame. As he advanced, countless skeletal soldiers blocking his path were instantly shattered into bone fragments, with not a single one able to stop his progress!
"What the hell, a junior warrior?"
Link's scalp tingled at the sight. Although he had never encountered a true junior warrior, Robert's overwhelming strength made him realize immediately that this opponent was far beyond an apprentice-level cultivator!
