Chapter 860 - Besiege (2/2)
“How’s that possible? Fang Xingjian defeated Alexander. He’s the number one swordsman in the Empire.”
“So what if he’s the best in the Empire? Can’t you see that the Steel Lion Kingdom and the Sand Country have joined forces and that there are a total of 14 Divine level experts? Moreover, the plains’ Prince Zuoxian and the Sacred Fire Order’s Patriarch from the desert are both not much weaker than Alexander.”
“This was why I said it previously… It would have been better if we made peace with them earlier.”
“Let’s surrender. There are so many Divine level experts over there. Once they start attacking their way in, we’ll be doomed.”
“That’s right. Let’s go look for the Fourth Prince and get them to surrender. Fang Xingjian has already lost. Why do we have to die together with him?”
The oppressive air of the 14 Divine level experts was too strong, shrouding downward toward the Imperial Capital. No one in the Imperial Capital could withstand it, and the many commoners, officials, and Conferred Knights all wore expressions of despair.
The Knight Association’s Chief and other people who had originally been extremely confident in Fang Xingjian were also wearing horrified expressions.
“How’s that possible? To think that even Fang Xingjian has been defeated?”
“To think that the Steel Lion Kingdom’s 11 Sacred Generals are that powerful?”
“With 14 Divine level experts joining forces, who will be able to go up against them in this world?”
The Fourth Prince sighed as his expression revealed that he was baffled. The 14 martial wills in the sky kept on colliding, merging, and occasionally bring about gusts of strong gales.
Each member of the opposing side was no weaker than the Fourth Prince. With all 14 of them pressing down simultaneously, no one in the capital could even think about resisting.
Lilia looked at the many Divine level experts in the sky with great hatred. Still, she could not help but keep feeling worried. ‘How is Teacher’s condition?’
Prince Philip’s countenance was pale. Due to the battle in Buluo City, he was also suffering from serious injuries. Right now, he was unable to unleash even 30% of his battle prowess.
His son, Richard, and granddaughter hid behind him. Both of them had been brought out by Philip and the Black Mage King after the Black Mage King was defeated.
Sally’s eyes were filled with horror. “Will they kill all of us?”
Richard’s expression was extremely grim, and his eyes were filled with regret. He could not help but sigh inwardly and say, ‘Father, you were wrong. I said that we should look for the Church to ask for assistance. Why didn’t you listen to me?’
In the north of the Imperial Capital, the First Prince looked at the 14 figures in the sky and laughed out loud. “Fang Xingjian, to think that this day would come for you… Go on, kill, kill. Wipe off this entire city from the maps of this world.”
The Sacred Fire Order’s Patriarch looked down coldly at the city in the sky and thought with great hatred, ‘Fang Xingjian, as long as you dare to come out and stop us from destroying this city, you’re doomed.
‘This is payback for the things you did in the desert. The moment you offended our Sacred Fire Order, it became destined that this day would come.’
Prince Zuoxian ordered through information currents, “Everyone, take action.”
At the next moment, 14 streams of majestic powers merged into one. Then lights of a myriad of colors gathered together, emitting heart-throbbing waves and pressing down toward the ground.
Prince Zuoxian said coldly, “Fang Xingjian, do you think that we won’t be able to do anything just because there’s an illusory formation? Since you aren’t willing to come out, then we’ll flatten the entire region.”
Watching the light press down toward the ground from the sky, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and an overwhelming sense of helplessness grew in their hearts.
The Fourth Prince, Tyrant, Lan Yue, the Blue Sacred Moonlight, and the Astral Ancestor took action, sending out streams of sword Qis and martial will soaring into the sky. They clashed against the attacks of Prince Zuoxian and the others.
However, it was a futile attempt doomed for failure. The joint forces of the 14 Divine level experts crushed all retaliating efforts and continued to press on toward the ground.
At the sight of this scene, the people in the Imperial Capital felt greater despair. Everyone realized that this scene before them could quite possibly be the last scene they would see in their lives.
Just then, a human figure suddenly appeared in front of the Imperial Capital with a flash, looking up toward the sky at the joint powers of the 14 people.
It was Fang Xingjian.
