Chapter 178 - Three Red Signal Flares (2/2)
”Leave.” Emperor Aventus said.
”It seems like you have made your move, Amro. You finally decided to reveal your real face towards everyone...”
”Ling Tian!” The emperor called out.
Grand General Ling Tian who was standing stoically below the throne glanced at the emperor before he kneeled down. ”Your subordinate is here, your majesty.”
”Ling Tian, inform all the generals to prepare their armies. Also, send a message to all the nobles in the capital city to prepare themselves. And make sure that the dukes are informed about this grave matter.” Emperor Aventus said sternly.
”Your subordinate understands.” Grand General Ling Tian replied.
”Leave with haste!” Emperor Aventus waved his right hand.
”Yes, your majesty!”
When Grand General Ling Tian left the throne room, the emperor stood up and clenched his fists tightly.
The emperor muttered with a cold voice. ”I have regained my full strength after all those days recuperation. Amro, are you strong enough to defeat your old man now?”
The throne room became much colder as the emperor revealed his full strength. His majestic figure was covered by a dense amount of elemental essence that made the imperial guards a bit suffocated.
This was the true strength of their emperor! An expert who was infinitely close to breaking through towards the Earth Enlightenment Realm!

Meanwhile, inside Cale's manor.
A messenger from the imperial palace arrived. ”I'm a messenger from the imperial palace, I request entry from Duke Cale.”
”You're from the imperial palace? Come inside. Our duke had specifically told us that if someone from the imperial palace comes, he must be allowed to go inside immediately.” Cale's guard said warmly.
The messenger from the imperial palace was taken aback. 'Looks like Duke Cale already expected this to happen. I wonder what could have happened to Blue Cloud City.'
The guard brought the imperial palace's messenger to the guest hall to wait for Cale. ”Brother, wait for me here. I will go to inform our duke about your arrival.”
”No need. I am already here.” Cale suddenly arrived inside the guest hall which surprised the two men.
They hurriedly glanced at Cale and bowed their heads.
”Greetings, Duke Cale.” They greeted respectfully.
Cale nodded his head and gestured for the guard to leave before turning his head towards the imperial messenger. ”Based on your expression, something urgent must have happened. Speak.”
The imperial messenger was surprised, but he still replied. ”Duke Cale, you've guessed right. Blue Cloud City fired three red signal flares just recently and Grand General Ling Tian sent me here to inform you this.”
”Oh, it seems like that man finally decided to make his move.” Cale muttered solemnly.
”Duke Cale, pardon my bluntness. But do you know something about what had happened to Blue Cloud City?”
”You'll know soon. And you don't need to worry. The emperor already knows what happened to Blue Cloud City.” Cale said, causing the imperial messenger to feel more curious.
