Chapter 499 - 499: You"ll Do As I Say
"What kind of plan is it? We already fortified the royal City. All the n.o.bles are guarding the barrier. You shouldn"t go there alone! That"s just a waste!" Latvia responded.
"I said what I said. And that"s what you"ll listen to. If you don"t want to, you can leave and hide in the Guest Palace too," Lucifer lazily responded.
"Next!" he said, asking others to introduce themselves
The introductions continued, and soon, all the n.o.ble Lords were finished with the introduction. Amongst the rest, Lucifer didn"t select anyone else to take with him. He had decided on a team of four only, and that was going to be it.
The Border of the Royal City generally had no defense structures. As for the Border Wall, it was only at the entrance of the Divine Empire, surrounding it. However, that defense was completely annihilated already by the Warlock Council.
Fortunately, after destroying the border defense and gaining an entry, the Warlocks didn"t attack the citizens of the Empire. Their only target was to neutralize the Royal City, take the arrogant Milena down, and receive the stone from Milena.
The Warlock Council was here, hoping for one stone, not realizing that there were two here, both with one man.
Two Warlock Council Planes flew towards the Royal City at full speed, surrounded by a powerful barrier that was cast by an S-Rank Warlock of the Warlock Council.
Inside the first plane, Andreas was sitting, casually sipping his coffee as he looked at his clock. There were still five minutes before they reached the Royal Empire.
There was a kind of excitement inside his heart as he was going to face a powerful enemy. It had been a long time since he fought with the intention to kill.
But there was even more excitement in his heart because he was going to take the arrogant Milena down. He still remembers the way she talked to him when last time he came on a visit.
It was the only reason he had personally decided to mount this a.s.sault, not letting anyone else take the opportunity.
He took his last sip of coffee before he placed the cup on the tray and stood up.
Seeing him stand up, the other Warlocks inside the plane also stood up.
"Are you all ready?" Andreas asked, smirking. "Tonight, we shall have a feast in the Royal City."
The Warlock started cheering, filled with fighting intent.
Andrea walked toward the door of the plane and slid it open. He peeked his head out and looked ahead.
Fast winds brushed against his face, but they immediately stopped as if controlled by some mysterious force. They flew without touching him.
"There it is... The Royal City," Andreas muttered. "That"s intriguing. I don"t think there was a border wall like that before."
He could see the entire city surrounded by thick walls.
All the walls were created by a n.o.ble Lord with her powers as soon as she realized that enemies were coming.
It was to provide at least some level of defense.
"I"m surprised they think a wall would be able to help them," Andreas muttered.
"They"re naive. They underestimate the Warlock Council too much." Another man appeared behind Andreas, happening to be his closest aid, John.
"I don"t know why, but u want to crush that wall first before entering," Andreas smirked. "Give them a glimpse of what"s to come."
"It will be my pleasure," John responded, grinning. He raised his hand towards the sky, making ten golden swords appear above the image
The Golden Swords weren"t the size of ordinary swords. Instead, each of the swords was the size of the plane in length and in width.
Ten giant Swords made from golden energy flew above the plane at the same speed, however with a casual wave of John"s hands, the Swords started flying much faster.
They got ahead of the planes, flying towards the walls. At their normal trajectory, it appeared that the swords were to destroy the border walls.
...
Lucifer left everyone else behind the walls to get in positions before flying past the walls with Duke, Arthur, and Yasmine.
"Hmm? They"re already here. It appears we"re just on time," Lucifer muttered, smiling. He also noticed ten golden swords flying towards them. "Yasmine, it"s time for you to show your magic. Negate the Golden Swords."
"I-i can"t. The golden swords are too big. They cover a big area too. My energy negation field is enough to cover only one swore," Yasmine let out, frowning.
"Much more useless than I imagined in that case,x Lucifer muttered, frowning.
He glanced at Arthur before asking, "Arthur, can you teleport with Yasmine?"
"I should be able to." Arthur nodded.
"Good. Take Yasmine and Teleport in the proximity of all Swords. So what if the words can"t come inside her domain? We"ll take her domain outside the sword, one by one," Lucifer let out. "Be fast. Not a single sword should be allowed to hit the wall."
Arthur nodded. He held the hands of Yasmine and disappeared.
He appeared right above the middle sword. Yasmine cast her domain, making the golden sword disappear.
After the first Sword was dealt with, Arthur disappeared again and appeared above the second golden sword.
"What is happening?" John exclaimed, seeing his Swords disappear one after another.
"Interesting. They are fighting back and making your attack useless. They"re more resourceful than I thought," Andreas muttered, smirking.
After a short observation of Andreas and Yasmine, his eyes fell on Lucifer, who was standing like a proud Warlock.
"Who is that guy? I remember the other three from the Royal Council of Milena, but the fourth doesn"t look like one. He doesn"t have red eyes, and he"s wearing a black cloak?" he muttered, frowning.
"Black Cloak? According to our information, that"s something only the Queen of the Divine Empire wears," John let out. "So how is he wearing that? And where"s Milena?"
Just as Andreas was looking at Lucifer, Lucifer also looked back.
Andreas saw a smirk spread across Lucifer"s lips as their gazes met as if Lucifer was mocking him.
"That man... He is very interesting it seems." Andreas also smirked. "I"m going to have fun with him."
John was concerned about his swords being taken out, but he also noticed the sudden shift in weather. "What"s happening to the weather? Suddenly, there are black clouds everywhere? It"s also getting cold."
"It"s certainly the work of an enemy.. Don"t bother with it," Andreas replied, but just as he finished, he heard the roar of the clouds, which forced him to look up.
