604 BOLLARD
Bollard is the very aggressive and short tempered bastard. He is kind of like the Sovereign of Deception. He loses his temper very quickly. He shouts at all his underlings for even a slightest mistake.
Even his family was not any exception. They would be yelled at if they made even a small mistake. He was like a monster in the eyes of everyone.
He has high ambitions. Because of his high ambitions he became more aggressive and impatient. He wouldn't visited any office underlings committed any mistakes in his work.
Because of this nobody loves him. Even though he has a family, he's always a loner. Everybody hates him to the point where they want you to kill him very badly. Even his own family members wanted him to be killed. All they want is freedom. They never love any political status.
But they know they are simply helpless. After all Bollard is very powerful. And on top of that, he has a powerful political background. Because Bollard is none other than the City Lord of the Burning Water City!
"City Lord! We collected the hiked tax from the citizens. But the problem is that they are complaining about our tax system." ,At that time, a person said with absolute respectful and fearful tone.
Bollard looked at this person and said, "And what the hell were you doing? Being the Assistant city Lord, what exactly were you doing?"
That person said, "Respectful city Lord! There are some things even I couldn't handle it. I hope you understand just how heavy the burden on my shoulder is!"
"Burden?" ,Bollard smirked and said, "If you feel that this small work of Tax Collection is a heavy burden on you, then get the hell out of my office! You are fired!"
"Fired?" ,That person was shocked. He said, "Please forgive me, City Lord! I didn't mean it that way. Please forgive me. I will never complain about anything. I will follow your every orders without any complaints."
"Too late." ,Bollard said. He was pleased when he heard that person's begging. He always liked it. He said, "You admitted that you are incompetent. I will give you five minutes. Leav—-"
"Father! Mother called you for breakfast." ,At that time, Bollard's daughter Anya marched in and said with respect.
"Who asked you to interfere while I am talking?" ,Bollard shouted on his daughter, "You needs to be punished."
"Pl-please forgive me father." ,She was scared as she apologised, "Mother asked me to call you for breakfast. So I came here to follow it."
"Then call your mother here." ,Bollard smiled evilly and said, "She has such guts to send you here to call me for breakfast. She needs to be punished as well"
That girl didn't know what exactly she was supposed to do. She was scared. She loved her mother very much. But she was punished in many occasions by her father for no reasons. She formed a grudge against her father. But she was helpless. Because her father was very strong.
"MY LORD!" , At that time a guard marched in with anxious face and said, " My Lord! I brought an emergency news."
"You bastard!" ,Bollard shouted, "Whatever news it is, make sure that it is very important for my ears. If your 'emergency news' didn't attract my attention, then I'm going to kill you."
"The news is indeed emergency!" ,That guard said, "Our City is under attack!"
"What did you say?" ,Bollard was stunned. He asked in rage, "Which bastard has the balls to attack my City? Don't they know that my city has the largest military strength in the Flake Region?"
That Guard said, "According to their flag, the attackers are from the Argemeddon City!"
"Argemeddon City?" ,Bollard was stunned. But, "Ha ha ha ha! The city that becamme vulnerable overnight has the guts to attack my city? An Ant wants to capture a giant elephant? This is truly a joke."
"Whatever!" ,Bollard said, "If I capture their city by myself, then the rewards for capturing that Argemeddon City would wholly belongs to me."
Bollard gave his orders, "Assemble the elite team. I want them to kill them as early as possible. Then ask them to go and capture the Argemeddon City!"
"Yes, My Lord!" ,That guard nodded his head and left.
Bollard was least bothered about the enemy attack. In his eyes the Argemeddon City was a piece of cake for him to capture.
He looked at his daughter who was looking at him with eyes full of fear and said, "Well then! How should I punish you and your mother for disturbing me?"
....
"Attack the gate's core!" ,Bill gave command.
The archers followed the orders of their commander and fired the arrows on the City gate's core. But the core was protected by some kind of protective barrier. It doesn't allow any attack to land on the Core of the City gates.
"Commander! This damn core is protected by some kind of defensive barrier! We couldn't hit it no matter how many arrows we waste."
Bill looked at Jimmy. Jimmy nodded his head in agreement. Bill didn't know why Jimmy is persistent in attacking the barrier protecting the core. It's just wasting all their precious arrows.
But he trusted Jimmy. He said, "Don't panic. Keep attacking the core of the City Gate. It's very important."
Jimmy sighed. Of course! He knew that he is simply wasting the precious arrows of his army. But what could he do? Everyone were worried about the sturdy protective barrier which is blocking all their arrows.
But no body knows that, that protective barrier is not actually a defensive barrier. It looks like one. But it is actually a Seal!
That's right! It is a seal. This seal acts as a medium and protects the Six Hexagonal Formation from any attack. Unless a powerhouse of seventh awakening stage expert or above attacks, it won't be destroyed in one attack. That's why, even with the bunch of archers with the cultivation base of first awakening stage, it is taking too much time and effort to break the seal.
Arjun could use the formation team. But he didn't use them. Because the archers starts the war. They minimise the marching opponents as much as possible before the initial clash. But as the war continues, the use of the archers will be lessened down.
So Jimmy was persistent with using the archers no matter what. The formation teams are going to play an important role when the war reaches intense mode. And their duration was just three seconds. So Jimmy didn't want to waste their valuable role in the seal breaking.
