Inside the territory of Blue Cloud City.
The sound of swords clas.h.i.+ng against each other reverberated in every direction. The elemental essence in the air fluctuated wildly as the fighting continued fiercely.
"Clang!"
"Bang!"
"Kill the rebels! Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Blue Cloud City"s army loudly chanted as they charged towards the invading army. Despite them being outnumbered, they stood their ground to oppose the enemies.
The soldiers of the invading army were dressed in black armor with a red sun engraving on their chests. They looked undaunted and fearless as they fought against Blue Cloud City"s army of elites. Furthermore, they outnumbered the city"s army by more than several times. This was the third prince"s army, the Blood Shadow Army.
He had groomed them for many years just for this very moment. The reason for the establishment of the army was to usurp the throne! And to claim the position of the emperor himself!
On the rear part of the Blood Shadow Army was a handsome man dressed in battle armor. There was a blood-red sword strapped behind his back. He was riding on the back of a savage beast wolf, the Saber Fang Wolf. Just like its name, it had two saber-like fangs that protruded out of its mouth. Its eyes were cold and merciless.
On the other hand, the man wore a cold expression as he stared at the ongoing carnage. Rivers of blood dyed the ground red, looking like a scene in h.e.l.l, but this man remained indifferent. Even the soldiers circling around him were unmoved.
"End the battle quickly. We still have to rea.s.semble the troops later to fight against the incoming support of the Celestial Sword Empire." The handsome man said in a cold and commanding tone. This man was, of course, the Third Prince Amro Doomblade.
The former easy-going and gentlemanly third prince facade was no more. He had now shown his real face, the true Third Prince Amro Doomblade!
A calm look exuding a dangerous vibe, and an aura that could make one"s heart palpitate in fear. The aura he displayed was that of a peak stage Immortal-Cla.s.s level expert!
Behind him were three men wearing the Blood Shadow Army"s armor. They were Blood One, Blood Two, and Blood Three respectively. Each one of them also emanated an aura that was not any weaker than the third prince.
"We obey, your highness!" The three men respectfully answered in unison before they joined the battle. They leaped off of their mounts as they flew in midair to meet the Blue Cloud City"s experts.
"Stubborn fools. They wouldn"t die if they had just surrendered willingly to me." Amro muttered to himself while looking at the experts of Blue Cloud City.
When Blood One and the other two joined the battle, the fight became even more lopsided. The Blue Cloud City"s experts could only watch as their soldiers were killed one by one.
"Third Prince, your highness! Why have you done this?! Is there really a need for such madness just to get the throne for yourself?!" A thin old man with white hair was looking at the third prince with a disappointed expression. His aged face distorted in fury causing his murky eyes to reveal a violent glint.
The old man hovered in midair with a walking stick in his hands.
The old man"s voice resonated in every direction of Blue Cloud City, making everyone hear who the invader was.
When they heard that it was the third prince who had invaded their city, the citizens felt betrayed and disappointed.
They had thought that he was a prince with a gentle and kind disposition. They even believed that he was someone that was most fitting to be their Celestial Sword Empire"s ruler and emperor. Who knew that such a man was actually like a viper hiding at the darkest corner as it waited for its prey.
The citizens did not doubt the old man in the slightest for he was their Blue Cloud City"s city lord. He had led their city to new heights under his partial and just governance.
Amro glanced at the old man who was hovering in midair like a kind sage. He hated the old man"s way of looking at him since it made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Just a dying old dog at the mid stage of the Immortal-Cla.s.s level! Who gave you the right to oppose me, old man?!" Amro pointed at the old man and snarled angrily, causing his handsome face to distort.
The Blue Cloud City"s city lord shook his head with a regretful look. With a soft sigh, he said. "Third prince, so this is your true heart? Since that"s the case, let this old man see the strength of such a man! Let this old man see the power of the man who was able to fool the entire Celestial Sword Empire!"
"You are unqualified to fight me, old dog! Blood Three, kill this old fool for me!" Amro ordered coldly, his face shook with fury.
"Yes, your highness!" Blood Three answered.
Blood Three was a huge man who was even bigger than Brogen. He was carrying a gigantic axe which was more than two times larger than his body.
"Old fool, you"ve angered the wrong man! But don"t worry. I am a merciful person, so I will give you a quick death!" Blood Three laughed menacingly as he looked at the old city lord.
"Die you old fool!" Blood Three brandished his axe, causing the air to vibrate intensely.
The Blue Cloud City"s city lord weakly sighed as he waved the walking stick he was holding. There was a blade on each end of the walking stick.
The city lord deftly dodged the wild swing of Blood Three"s axe, looking like an old pine amidst a strong hurricane.
There might be a huge difference in strength, but Blood Three was more of a strength type expert. He was very strong and each of his strikes was capable of slas.h.i.+ng a mountain in half.
The old city lord might be weaker, but he was dodging Blood Three"s attacks with minimal movements.
"Just a brute with a bit more power. If you were on the same level as this old man, I would have killed you in one strike." The city lord shook his head.
Hearing his words, Blood Three boiled with rage.
"Rooaaarrr!"
