“Your Highness, hundreds of cultivators from Demon Seal Alliance have already reached the city gates. The guards who were defending the gates have been killed!” At that moment, a guard hurriedly arrived with a report.
“So soon?” Cedric frowned.
He then turned to Ezequiel and asked, “Mr. Yorba, what should we do?”
After all, it was the first time Cedric had encountered such a significant matter, so favonovel.com was somewhat indecisive.
“Your Highness, command the activation of the city defense formation and then ensure that the entire imperial city activates their arcane arrays as well to prevent these members of Demon Seal Alliance from invading too quickly!” Ezequiel exclaimed.
“Okay. I’ll immediately act on your orders, Mr. Yorba. Activate the city defense formation!” Cedric commanded loudly.
Before long, the protective arcane array of the entire imperial city was gradually activated.
Following their triumph over the city gate guards, Gatlin and Zayan, leading the members of Demon Seal Alliance, made their way into the imperial city.
The moment they stepped Into the imperial city, everyone from Demon Seal Alliance was utterly astounded.
The imperial city of Allardland truly lived up to its reputation as the largest city in Ethereal Realm. Spanning hundreds of kilometers, countless buildings soared toward the sky, exuding both opulence and antiquity.
The city’s architecture was especially impressive. Each structure astonishingly bore array runes that shimmered with an ominous aura of power.
Given the sheer number of these buildings, it was needless to say that if their protective arcane arrays were activated all at once, their fortitude would be unparalleled.
“If we could overthrow Allardland this time, this beautiful imperial city would be ours. Just thinking about it is thrilling.”
“I heard that the palace maids in Allardland are all stunningly beautiful like goddesses descended from heaven. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to cultivate a dual cultivation with one of them?”
“I’m growing rather impatient. Where are the people from Allardland? Why isn’t there a single one of them showing up?”
The members of Demon Seal Alliance were growing impatient. They were itching to defeat Allardland and seize control of the imperial city.
At that moment, the protective arcane array within the imperial city was unexpectedly activated. The entire city was enveloped, and the structures within the city also began to engage their own arcane arrays. This made it impossible for Demon Seal Alliance members to even set foot inside a single building.
Looking at the suddenly activated arcane arrays, it was clear that quite a few members of Demon Seal Alliance were flustered. Even Gatlin had a slight frown on his face.
Zayan, on the other hand, seemed to have anticipated this. He said calmly, “Break the arrays.”
Zayan began to speak, and from the multitude of cultivators in Demon Seal Alliance, a dozen beams of white light suddenly shot out.
These beams of light shot straight up into the sky, and upon touching the arcane array above the imperial city, they dispersed just like fireworks.
In just the span of a few breaths, the protective arcane array over the imperial city astonishingly vanished. Even the arcane arrays surrounding the nearby buildings had inexplicably disappeared.
Upon witnessing this scene, all the cultivators of Demon Seal Alliance were filled with excitement. On the other hand, the hidden subjects of Allardland began to feel a certain unease stirring within them.
Hundreds of Demon Seal Alliance cultivators released waves of black mist. In just a blink of an eye, the entire imperial city was shrouded in a black mist.
Cedric and the others gazed at the suddenly darkened sky, each of their expressions turning solemn. Behind him, there were several thousand imperial city guards, and dozens of them were in Ultimate Realm.
Cedric rode atop a massive, fierce lion-tiger beast, exuding the aura of a powerful ruler. He, who had become the crown prince, was leading a large number of people into battle for the first time.
Although they were somewhat tense, excitement was the predominant emotion. After all, they were in the imperial city of Allardland, their home turf.
Beyond the thousands of imperial city guards behind him, the entire imperial city was also home to hundreds of thousands of subjects. These weren’t just ordinary people. They were cultivators.
The idea of Demon Seal Alliance attempting to swallow up Allardland was simply ludicrous. That was where Cedric’s confidence stemmed from.
Ezequiel’s body hovered protectively by Cedric’s side at all times, ensuring his safety.
In front of the numerous guards, three Ultimate Realm Level Four cultivators were donned in platinum battle armor, their entire being radiating an awe-inspiring aura. Behind these guards were all kinds of divine weapons and magical items, including a dozen spirit beasts that were letting out continuous roars.
The aura was extremely formidable, so much so that a mere glance could be overwhelming. If it were a wandering cultivator, there was no need to fight. The mere sight would probably scare them to death.
