Chapter 182 - Father Vs. Son (1/2)
”Your highness, we have secured the whole city.” Blood One said while bowing his head slightly at Amro.
”Good. Call Blood Two and Blood Three. The Celestial Sword Empire's soldiers are already here...” Amro said coldly as he gazed at the distance. He felt the ground tremble as the soldiers of the Celestial Sword Empire charged towards Blue Cloud City.
”Yes, your highness.” Blood One bowed his head before he left to find Blood Two and Blood Three.
Amro's countenance turned icy when he could already see the incoming army of the empire.
”You're really not going easy on your third son, my dear imperial father...” Amro said after sensing the strength of the incoming army. He knew that Emperor Aventus brought his strongest men with him!
”Whoosh!”
”Whoosh!”
”Whoosh!”
Three silhouettes landed beside, making his heart feel slightly at ease. Although he was confident about his Blood Shadow Army, the soldiers of the Celestial Sword Empire were also not weak. No matter who would win between the two armies, it would be a pyrrhic victory. But he did not mind losing a part of his army as long as he could secure their victory. His goal was not to rule the Celestial Sword Empire but to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Meanwhile, Emperor Aventus signaled his army to stop their charge by raising his right hand. ”Halt!”
He saw the Amro's army was not planning to meet with them head-on. 'That traitorous son of mine wanted to whittle us down while we lay siege on Blue Cloud City. What a cunning bastard!'
Cale also realized this after not seeing an army outside the city. But it would not pose a threat to someone among his servants. Brogen, the Barbarian Emperor.
”Duke Cale, do you have something in mind that could help us break their gates without losing too many soldiers?” Emperor Aventus asked while glancing at Cale. This man was able to defeat the Beast King in a one on one fight. He might know of a way that could help them break this standstill.
Cale glanced at the emperor and nodded his head solemnly. ”Yes, your majesty. In fact, I only need one person to break their gates...”
Emperor Aventus was surprised when he saw Cale's confident look.
”Then I'll have to trouble you with this task, Duke Cale.” The emperor said in a mild tone.
Cale nodded his head at the emperor before he turned to look at one of his servants. ”Brogen, break those doors for me.”
”As you say, my lord.” A huge and hulking man stepped forward. In his hands was a huge hammer that was even bigger and heavier than his body by many times. Brogen had also broken through to the mid stage of the Immortal-Class level. He now had the same level of cultivation as Cale!
The gate of Blue Cloud City was a huge double door made from sturdy wood and metal. It would take long anyone would siege it normally, but to Brogen, this was not a problem at all.
The Celestial Sword Empire's soldiers made way for him while looking at him curiously. Just how capable was this giant to gain Duke Cale's trust?
Brogen raised his gigantic hammer as he charged towards the city gates. His reckless actions stunned Amro and his soldiers, making them forget to take action for a brief moment.
