Chapter 226 - Chapter 226: Chapter 216 World War II (2/2)
Byrne was overjoyed deep within himself! He understood the importance of ascending the 4th Rank; now, as a defender, Fein was at a disadvantage, and becoming even slightly stronger was an important matter!
Members of the Fischer family were all arranged to stay at a private estate belonging to the Lion clan.
He soon found Lilian in a room of the estate, silently praying to a sacred object.
“Great Lord of the Lost, please protect us…”
Meanwhile, Byrne also saw that it was not only Lilian praying here; the eldest of the Daybreakers, Yeager, was also kneeling by her side, praying.
He too knelt before the sacred object, prayed for a moment, and then rose to his feet.
Yeager also stood and bowed to him, smiling as he said, “Your Excellency Byrne, it’s been a while, I have some good news to inform you of—I have completed the ritual to advance to the 3rd Rank on the Path of Conquest!”
“Really?”
Byrne was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face; with two pieces of good news happening together, perhaps this was the decision of the great Lord of the Lost!
——
Outside the barrier of Fein City, three Monarch powerful experts were resting.
The reticent woman in purple spoke up, saying indifferently, “We need to change our tactics, a head-on confrontation isn’t the best choice.”
She was Carnia’s Court Chief Mage, revered by her nation, her status only slightly inferior to that of Prince Conrad.
General Rhea stared at the increasingly dark night and spoke,
“Your Highness, I have a plan.”
“It’s best to launch another attack in the middle of the night, and we should attack from three different directions. After that, we keep retreating and attacking, hitting the city from various sides repeatedly.”
“They only have two Monarch powerful experts, and the lower and mid-tier Extraordinary Exponents are slow to move; they will definitely be thrown into confusion by our attacks.”
“The tactical goal is to wear down the Cyart people’s lower and mid-tier Extraordinary Exponents; as long as we exhaust enough of them, we can indirectly cut off the duration the Monarch with the Wrathful Angel Bloodline relies on.”
“Once we’ve completely cut off his sustaining power, the three of us can join forces to unleash the Forbidden rare artifact against him and concentrate our firepower to kill that ‘Angel’ instantly! The situation in the battle will then completely change!”
Prince Conrad, who didn’t understand much about tactics but was very clever, nodded calmly and said,
“Hmm, I approve of your tactic. Let’s do it.”
He paused, then added,
“However, there is one thing that concerns me, and that is the very special case of one of the Cyart people. The Forbidden rare artifact he uses can freeze Monarch Level powerful experts; even for us, it poses a lethal threat.”
“We are unaware of its activation mechanism and the specific cost, and it may well be a triple-digit-numbered Forbidden rare artifact. We must pay special attention to this point.”
General Rhea slowly nodded, his expression grave as he spoke,
“Yes, I certainly understand the threat of that thing. I was frozen still for several seconds at that time; if those two Monarch powerful experts had taken the opportunity to attack me with all their might, indeed, I would have been doomed.”
——
A special kind of fear permeated the darkness; the people of Fein City lived in rising unrest and dread, everyone acutely aware that the war and death had not ended, but had only just begun.
At that moment, intense bursts of lightning suddenly erupted in a corner of the city, becoming the focus of the entire metropolis!
The elderly General Rhea, wielding a sword, guided the raging thunder and had already killed his way into the streets of Fein City at breakneck speed!
The Cyart guards of Fein quickly responded. The “Mighty Angel” Bern did not move, but the “Stars Mortal” Ariel quickly arrived with a group of Extraordinary Exponents.
And General Rhea did not linger in battle; he was merely making a feint attack and quickly left the city using the characteristic speed of lightning.
“Damn it! Byrne was right!”
Ariel’s expression changed as she wanted to intercept but was unable to catch the opponent.
At the same time, the other two Monarch powerful experts also burst into Fein City from two other locations. Their strategy was very shrewd; of the three, if anyone encountered a Monarch powerful expert of Cyart, they would retreat, while the one who didn’t encounter any could go on a spree of destruction and slaughter.
The “Mighty Angel” Bern found Prince Conrad first, entangling the most formidable opponent.
Thus, the purple-gowned woman with mental spellcasting capabilities became unrestrained, without any adversary.
Hovering above one side of the city, she casually flicked her fingers, and transparent bubbles carrying heavy negative emotions suddenly left many Fein people in a state of confusion.
Prince Conrad did not retreat immediately, but relied on his size advantage to rush forward, his body as large as a small hill collapsing buildings. He took the opportunity to release a black fog that destroyed several streets.
“Perish!”
The black clouds, like a host of dark specters, enveloped the surrounding buildings; they warped the entry of any light, turning the nearby world dark and unsettling.
In the darkness, many people and objects were instantaneously devoured, leaving behind a frightening void.
The eerie atmosphere held a bottomless darkness and danger, killing thousands on several streets within moments, without them even having a chance to cry out.
“Damn it!”
The “Mighty Angel” Bern, already transformed back into an angel, saw this cruel scene and couldn’t help but roar in rage!
The city of Fein at war was filled with tension and anxiety. The heavy rumblings echoed distantly while the whistling and explosions constantly reminded people of the terrifying reality.
“What should we do?”
The Fischer family had not rushed to any battlefield; they all awaited Byrne’s instructions. Chris, Lilian, Vanessa, Theo, Archibald, Yeager, and the others all looked towards Byrne in unison.
Yeager stared at His Excellency Byrne, took a deep breath, and said,
“Please give your order!”
