”How could this be? Bastards!”

The First Prince turned pale, his fists clenched, and his face scowled. Just when he had been on the verge of success, these twelve terrifying True Dragon Sentinels had come out of nowhere.

Each swing of their sabers inflicted horrendous damage on his army.

”How could Taiji Palace have such terrifying guards?! This is impossible!”

The First Prince angrily glared into the distance. The appearance of the twelve True Dragon Sentinels had completely upset his plans. He sensed that their strength was far above Great Generals, but how was that possible?!

In this empire, there were only nine Great Generals, and this included the King of Foreign Lands. How could there be twelve Great Generals hidden inside Taiji Palace?

Impossible! Impossible! I refuse to believe it! the First Prince mentally howled.

Bang!

At this moment, one of the True Dragon Sentinels took one step forward. As he did, a metallic clattering erupted from his feet.

”Ah! Not good! Look at his feet!”

Cries of alarm came from all sides, with countless people taking notice of that subtle movement. They could only watch as twelve beautiful and dazzling halos appeared beneath the feet of the twelve True Dragon Sentinels.

These twelve halos resonated with each other, becoming as bright as the sun and moon.

And if one looked carefully, one would realize that there were thin lines traced on the ground, linking together into a complex formation that was connected to the True Dragon Sentinels.

The outer ring of the formation was the True Dragon Sentinels, and the core of the formation was deep within Taiji Palace.

A formation!

Everyone finally understood that they were so powerful precisely because of this formation.

Just like the Hundred Thousand God-Devil Execution Formation, this formation derived a significant amount of its power from the Three Emperors Formation.

In addition, it was obvious that the strengthening formation had a very small range, so the twelve True Dragon Sentinels could not move too far away from Taiji Palace. This was why they rarely appeared or intervened in the battle.

But even so, just by standing there, the True Dragon Sentinels presented a formidable barrier to the Eastern Palace faction.

”Come on! Get in there! All of you! Kill them!

”I hereby decree that the first person to step into Taiji Palace will receive one million taels of gold, a writ of pardon, and be made a King with status equal to the Emperor!

”Where are those Divine Lords? Tell them to send more men, more of these men in black! This prince doesn't believe they can't be killed!” the First Prince barked, his eyes red with bloodlust and a frenzied energy rising from his body.

Victory was only one step away! One step! How could he possibly stop here!?

”Your Highness, we've sent all our men. Chongsheng Gate has been lost, and the rest of our men are doing their best to hold the rear!”

”We've just received word that one of the Divine Lords is dead and the other is badly injured. The injured Tianfu Divine Lord has already fled the Imperial Palace.”

”We've already mobilized all the men in black we prepared beforehand. Dead or injured, they've all been sent in!”

One piece of news after another sounded out from behind the First Prince.

”What!?”

The First Prince was stunned upon hearing the reports from his subordinates, his face alternating between green and white as his heart went cold.

Chongsheng Gate had been lost, a Divine Lord had been killed, and there were no more men left to send in.

The First Prince had never imagined that he would be pushed into such desperate straits in so little time. Where were the one hundred thousand soldiers of the Imperial Army? What about his other armies? Could Wang Chong alone kill so many people?

The First Prince suddenly remembered Zhang Zheng and his Beiting Protectorate army. Shouldn't he have arrived already?

”Where's Zhang Zheng? Order Zhang Zheng to immediately enter the city and advance on the Imperial Palace.”

”Your Highness, the King of Foreign Lands has seized the outer gates of the capital. General Zhang Zheng's army is trying to break through!”

”What? Say that again!”

The First Prince turned his head, his face stricken with disbelief.

Weren't the outer gates under his control? And Wang Chong's primary force was being kept inside the Imperial Palace. Even if he had managed to play some trick and seize the outer gates, Zhang Zheng had forty thousand elites under his command. Was this not enough to break through a force of several hundred people guarding the gates?

”Your Highness, while the enemy force is extremely small, consisting of only eight thousand men, they previously disguised themselves as General Zhang Zheng and the Beiting Protectorate army to fool us into opening the gates. General Zhang Zheng is engaged in a full offensive, but he can't break through just yet…” the guard said in panic and fear.

The First Prince turned ghastly pale, momentarily speechless.

”Eight thousand? Where did eight thousand soldiers come from? What's going on here?”

The First Prince's mind was in turmoil. Just what had been going on this entire time?
