Hillman's loud roar and his urgent expression stunned every child present. Hillman's thought
processes were very clear. These two Saint-level combatants obviously were engaged in some sort of
dispute. Apparently, they were about to come to blows. When Saint-level combatants were about to
engage in a fight, the children standing there watching the fight would not be able to protected
whatsoever. The slightest side reverberations could kill all the children present. Saint-level
combatants were reputed to have the power to shatter the heavens and obliterate the earth. Even if
that reputation was slightly exaggerated, they definitely did have the power to obliterate a city
or a tall mountain. "Quick, let's move. Don't stand there in a daze, move!" Hillman shouted loudly
while shoving some children away. Only now did the rest of the children awaken from their stupor.
Although they didn't understand why Hillman was pushing them to go back to their homes and wanted
to continue watching the Saint-level combatants, Hillman's awe-inspiring presence was still enough
to send all of the children running speedily for their homes. "Lorry, Roger, quick, take the six
and seven year olds back home. Quickly! If Saint-level combatants clash, when the side-effects of
their struggle reach us, the aftermath will be...." Hillman's face was filled with urgency.
"Understood, Captain!" Lorry and Roger totally understood what their captain was thinking. Lorry
and Roger immediately turned around and lifted up the children who were slow runners. They carried
two in each arm and two on their backs as well. Hillman joined them as well, quickly beginning to
pick up child after child. "Linley, go home, quick!" Hillman, still carrying several children,
shouted towards Linley, who was also running. "I know, Uncle Hillman!" Linley replied loudly.
Although Linley was only eight years old, his running speed was on par with fourteen year olds.
While running, Linley would often turn back to stare at the sky. That huge coiled Black Dragon and
those two Saint-level combatants had fully captured his attention. "Captain, Lord Hogg ordered us
to come assist you!" Twelve warriors had come flying out of the Baruch clan manor. As soon as they
saw Hillman, they shouted at him. "Quick, take these children home!" Hillman immediately ordered.
"Yes, Captain!" The warriors hastily replied, and quickly began sending the six and seven year
olds to their homes. "All of you, go home! Go home and hide! Protect yourselves!" Hillman shouted
again in a loud voice. Hillman possessed a great deal of authority in Wushan township. Upon hearing
his words, many of the villagers who had been terrified at the sight of a Black Dragon knew
immediately what to do. Right now, the entire Wushan township had turned into a frenzy of activity.
All of the children and all of the workers fled to their homes. At this point in time, the only
thing which could protect them was the sturdy stone of their houses. Linley directly charged into
his own residence. "Quick, hide in the cellar beneath the storage room." Hogg was standing in the
middle of the courtyard. Upon seeing Linley, he immediately ordered him in. The cellar beneath the
storage room was the largest, most sturdy cellar within the Baruch clan's manor. Anyone hiding
there definitely would be able to survive. "Yes, father!" Linley repeatedly nodded, and immediately
ran in the direction of the storage room. While running as fast as he could, Linley's mind returned
to the Black Dragon, its gray-robed rider, and the green-robed man. He couldn't help but turn once
again and look back at the eastern sky. Since all the buildings in the small town were fairly low
in height, he could clearly see for hundreds of meters. Right now, the Black Dragon was growling in
a low voice nonstop. "Dillon [Di'long], if you are going to be so stubborn about this, then don't
blame me for my actions." A cold voice emanated from the sky. Immediately afterwards, the Black
Dragon began to let out a series of angry roars and belching forth smoky black fire from its mouth.
"Rudi, today I'm going to see exactly how powerful of a Saint-level magus you are!" The green-robed
man shouted angrily.
