Chapter 1033 For The Glory Of My Father
"Are you still writing that letter, father?" Abyss Princess Eva stepped into the Emperor's study and asked softly
Haedon finished the last sentence and closed the letter Then, he put it on his ar
Eva's eyes widened as she stared at hiency es all over his body unraveled, revealing his healed body that looked like a sculpted statue
Eva still wasn't convinced But E "T-They're here"
Right then, the palace shook and the sound akin to a thousand claps of thunder reverberated across the capital
Haedon's expression grew gri the situation
Hundreds of hly functional formations, marched forward They seemed endless and like a tsunami, they neared the final city of the abyssals
The barrier outside the city was already under stress as the Fairy Sovereigns began their relentless attacks
The only reason it was still standing was the lack of participation from the Fairy Emperor
He crossed his arms and stared at the E theoodbyes
"What a kind soul" Haedon gnashed his teeth and punched the desk into splinters
The final resistance army of the abyssals stood behind the barrier, on the walls, and above the temporarily fortified structures
The capital city only had a strong and sturdy wall But it was mostly for show There had never been a defense fortress in this city
Why would there be? If the fight caht
But now, they're fighting Even if it's futile, even though they're dooathered a weapon and stood behind the barrier, against the invader
The capital's as not built for defense But their wall—built fro their lives—was built for that very purpose
"For the glory of our ancestors!"
"For the last light of our race!"
"For the greatness of our people!"
The men, women, elderly, and even children chanted thetheir final goodbyes and others were staring back at their homes for one last time
Kacha!
A crack appeared on the barrier guarding the city
"Prepare yourself!"
Following the cohtened their backs and clenched their weapons harder All the noise stopped fro was hard to hear
"For one last time," the abyssal commander said in a hoarse tone His heavy but powerful voice shook the sky and reached every single abyssal "Let us fight"
The barrier splintered into shards of glittering auras and the two aruarded floor in the underground complex of the Emperor Palace:
"Go now" Haedon tried to shter and the bunch of abyssals behind them
"We don't have much time" The Abyss Emperor said
"I can't abandon them!" Eva shook her head as tears continued to roll down her cheeks
Her words caused the expressions of the abyssals in the rooe drastically
They were the elite of the elite And at this critical juncture, they weren't fighting They were going to a distant land without fairies
…They were abandoning their people
"This isn't abandonht that blood started to drip "This is the only way our race can be saved The only e don't become history"
Beatrice stared at her husband with an intense gaze He stared back with a rare seriousness
The corner of her eyes turned wet, but the Ee altar on the floor
ReadNovelFullcorabbed Eva's hand and despite her daughter's protest, dragged her forward
"Father, then you go first" Standing in front of the altar, Eva didn't go first and turned to him
Haedon's expression darkened and he shook his head
Eva's eyes widened and her face lost all color "NO! You are co with me or I'll stay! I won't leave you, father, I'll never leave you!"
"I can't The space gate can't bear the burden of a celestial ranker" Haedon said
It would've If not for the destruction of the altars by Varian and Enigma
Even recently, he planned to transfer thousands of elite abyssals But more altars were destroyed Now, a few dozen were already the max capacity
To be sure, there was still a chance of the altars carrying the Celestial ranker before The altar would collapse though So, if Haedon went there, he couldn't return That's why he refused
Things were only o But he'd be seriously injured And the altar would also surely collapse
Rather than going there and saving his life, he decided to send his daughter and wife as well as the elites so that they could survive
Haedon didn't feel bad about his i death He decided to take down the Fairy Emperor with hi the chance to watch his daughter grow up
'Maybe this is how all those human fathers that died under my soldiers felt' He shook his head with a wry s out
"You'll die, father! Please don't go!" Eva's as heartbreaking "I beg you! I won't ask you anything! I beg you! Please, father! Just this one thing!"
Hearing the sobs frohter, Haedon's heart shook and for the first time in centuries, the Emperor's eyes turned wet But his steps remained resolute and he headed for the exit He headed for his death
"No! Please!" Eva's cries grew distant and the altar began to shi+ne
Then all of a sudden, the palace shook and a huge noise rocked the sky
"What the—"
The diht was actually co down and the sky…
"Oh shi+t!"
