The sound of gunfire continued to boom within the city as the Dusk Soldiers charged forward through a hail of bullets.
Suddenly, Darkit’s defense forces received Kellan’s order to lay down their weapons and surrender.
The Darkit soldiers, already retreating under heavy assault, were initially stunned but quickly dropped their arms.
The Dusk Soldier troops entered the city in a steady stream. Following the news, the Dawn Soldiers picked up speed and stormed into Golden City within ten minutes. The remaining 60 thousand Darkit soldiers were all disarmed and captured.
Willis, who was bloodied all over, looked around to see soldiers everywhere on the streets, in the corridors, and in the ditches. All had thrown down their weapons and were holding their heads in their hands.
“What’s going on?” Willis looked somewhat unsatisfied with the abrupt end.
“It seems Drakon has taken control of the situation above!” Lupinus, also covered in blood, walked over and pointed upward.
Willis was taken aback. “Oh, man, I was just warming up. How did it end so soon?”
Lupinus’ phone vibrated, and favonovel.com immediately put it to his ear, speaking with a serious expression. “Drakon… Yes, alright. I’ll bring people over right away!”
“Willis, you and I will each take ten thousand Dusk Soldiers and head to the gold mines immediately,” Lupinus said, putting down his phone and looking at Willis.
“The gold mines? Damn, alright. Give me ten minutes to gather the troops!”
20 minutes later, Lupinus and Willis each led ten thousand Dusk Soldiers in a mad dash toward Mt. Karat on the western outskirts of the city.
Having overheard Hayes’ conversation earlier, Isaac knew that reinforcements were about to arrive.
If it was Brock and his team, although not worrisome, their presence could potentially slow down the occupation ofthe gold mines. Moreover, their Dusk and Dawn Soldiers would be as vulnerable as ants in front of Brock’s team.
By this time, all of Darkit’s defense forces in the city had been disarmed and gathered together, guarded by the massive army of the Temple of Drakon.
***
As Lupinus and Willis led the 20 thousand Dusk Soldiers toward the gold mines, three helicopters approached Mt. Karat with a roar from a distance about three kilometers outside the city.
The helicopters gradually descended to the mountaintop, and as they hovered about 30 feet above the ground, several figures jumped down from them.
Under the moonlight, Brock, Carolyn, and seven or eight other men and women clad in black and red cloaks landed on the mountaintop.
Following them, Elliot jumped out of the helicopter. Lucius of the Everest Sect and two of its elders followed suit.
“Elliot, are you sure there isn’t a woman in a white dress with Isaac?” Lucius immediately turned to Elliot upon landing.
“Sir Lucius, I’m certain there’s no woman like that with Isaac,” Elliot responded confidently.
Elliot noticed Isaac’s increased strength the last time favonovel.com came to rescue Black Phoenix. Even Brock had been driven back, step by step, by that woman. He knew encountering Isaac again would only lead to one outcome.
The Temple of Drakon’s punishment for traitors was always the cruelest. Thus, Elliot, with enough sincerity and something Lucius couldn’t refuse, sought his help to eliminate Isaac. However, Elliot had withheld some information, like Hera being with Isaac.
Mt. Karat, a natural barrier to the gold mines, loomed ahead. From afar, Brook and his group could see a large, dark mass rapidly approaching underthe moonlight.
“Here they come!” Brock snorted coldly, a vicious, cold smile on his pale face.
His fangs elongated, and his eyes shone with a mad, bloodthirsty hue.
Meanwhile, Lupinus and Willis, leading the charge, were completely unaware of the dozen figures standing atop the hill ahead of them.
