899 Chapter 520: A Mistaken Subordinate, The Transcendent That Bowed Before Him [2/4]
The Twilight City troop already guarded the sky. The sky soldiers flapped their wings, and the sound gave people a sense of security.
Richard’s heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously looked into the distance.
An unfamiliar troop appeared on the frozen land.
Falcon-embroidered flags fluttered as knights in full armor drove their tall warhorses forward.
The leading knight waved its hand after it reached a hundred meters. The next second, the knight behind suddenly pulled the reins and stopped the horse.
Then, the leading knight straightened its back and drove its horse closer.
The leading knight arrived below Alves. It let out a soft cry and stopped the warhorse.
At this moment, the leading knight alone faced the pressure of the Dragon Might. However, calm eyes peeped through the helmet.
The warhorse snorted and spat out two streams of white mist.
The leading knight took a deep breath and took off the helmet.
‘Shua!’
She scattered her long hair in the wind, and an exquisite face appeared.
The leading knight placed her right hand on her chest and said solemnly, “Great Ruler, Tundel sends you her most respectful greetings. Thank you for your support all this time. I have prepared a sumptuous banquet to welcome you.”
Richard looked down at the eldest princess of the royal family of Ell, and his eyes moved slightly.
“There is no need for formalities, Tundel.
“What’s the current situation?”
A hint of anger sounded in her tone.
“The traitor is mobilizing all the troops loyal to him to surround Lion City.
“The first batch of enemy troops will arrive in three days at most.
“Great Ruler, we don’t have much time left.”
The Raging Blood Duke gained absolute dominance after the purge of the royal family of Ell.
Tundel and her sister would have been in despair if Richard hadn’t supported them.
The kingdom of Ell had earned the support of a mighty savior.
At this thought, she held her chest and lowered her head again.
Richard looked at the kingdom’s princess in such a manner, and his emotions were sparingly subtle.
Power was a man’s best coat. This sentence was never false.
The “Shining Era” might be h.e.l.l for most players but for him…
“We’ll talk about it when we return to Lion City.”
“Yes, Great Ruler!”
“Let’s go!” Tundel immediately led the way on her warhorse.
The troop she brought with her immediately surrounded her after she returned. They protected her in the center.
The void sandworm could not open a spatial gate directly into the city due to the interference of magic in Lion City.
That was also a necessary defensive measure for many large cities.
Some spellcasters who could control spatial sorcery could easily send troops into the city without any magic that could disrupt s.p.a.ce.
The city wall would become a decoration.
The more powerful a city was, the more defensive it was against magic.
Spellcasters could change the situation on the battlefield. No one dared to underestimate them.
They walked through the spa.r.s.e forest for more than ten kilometers. The majestic ancient-beast-like city reflected in Richard’s eyes.
The city walls were 40 meters high and stood on the horizon like a valley.
Countless heavy city defense weapons, catapults, and giant crossbows were on top of the city. Innumerable.
Archer towers ten meters above the city wall stood at regular intervals.
More ferocious heavy crossbows surrounded the tower.
Heavy-armored soldiers patrolled the city walls. They would immediately unleash their most ferocious attacks at the mere shadow of an enemy.
They had arrived at Lion City.
******
A mult.i.tude of echelons appeared in the central square of Lion City.
At this moment, all the higher-ups were present.
Everyone was excited and nervous as they waited for the reinforcements to arrive.
They all knew that the princess had summoned an array of her ancestors to find reinforcements from other planes following the invasion of Lion City.
Richard spun thoughts. He subconsciously glanced at the little centaur warrior while she stood before everyone.
Her eyes were burning.
Transcendent!
That was their reinforcement. It was an incredibly soul-extinguishing specie.
This centaur safeguarded the two princesses at the most critical moment.
She single-handedly slaughtered the troop and the Lion Duke.
Then, she used absolute power when she controlled this city.
She had become the two princesses’ most powerful protector.
And now, another batch of reinforcements from another plane was about to arrive.
“I wonder how many troops Her Royal Highness has summoned this time.”
“We hope the Wilderness Ruler Emily will help us annihilate the traitor, the Raging Blood Duke!”
“G.o.d’s blessings…”
The princess wouldn’t reveal too much information to them. She only said a myriad of reinforcements this arrive this time.
Subconsciously, they thought of the reinforcements as this transcendent’s subordinates.
The seven or eight figures stood at the edge and turned extra curious when they heard the crowd’s discussion.
The leader was a warrior in his early thirties. He looked forward to it.
“Do you think more transcendents would join the reinforcements this time?”
These words caused the small group to fall silent. Then, they shook their heads in unison.
“Commander, that’s quite arduous. What kind of existence is transcendent? How could one produce them easily? This transcendent centaur was already strong enough. A second wilderness ruler is unnecessary, right?”
“That’s correct. This plane isn’t a powerful one. The Raging Blood Duke is transcendent. But he is about to face a transcendent-headed reinforcement. This mission is about to be done.”
