At night, in the capital of the Magic Kingdom, in front of the north gate, Ham was leading the musketeers on a routine patrol inspection.
Although the kingdom now almost dominates the entire continent, many opponents are still hiding in the dark, trying to overthrow the rule of wizards and make the world return to the dark days when the nobles and the church jointly enslaved the common people.
Naturally, Ham would never allow such a thing to happen. You know, a few years ago he was just a lowly miner, and the meaning of his existence was to stay in the dark mine every day, digging ore tirelessly until one day he died in a mine accident.
As the most devout believer of the Moon Goddess, Ham once believed that everything was destined, that the suffering he endured was a test from the great goddess, and that the humiliation he endured in life would turn into blessings after his death.
When he ascends to heaven, he will be able to enjoy endless peace and joy! However, the wizards told him with facts that all this was false, a scam of the church, and that they did not need to use their own suffering to create the happiness of those noble lords, nor did they need to wait until after death to enjoy peace and joy, they could live in heaven on earth in reality.
Ham, who had experienced hard times, naturally cherishes his current life. After becoming the city guard officer of the royal capital, he is even more dedicated to his duties and dares not slack off for a single day.
Ham, who was walking past the city wall, saw several guards on duty gathered together to gossip. He immediately frowned and spoke in a deep voice.
"Everyone, get back to your posts. Which captain is in charge of travel records today? Where did he go?"
The scolded guards stammered and were unable to speak until Ham questioned them again. Then they mentioned that the captain had just sneaked away to drink with some friends.
Ham's face immediately turned gloomy, and anger rose in his heart, but several lazy soldiers spoke out cautiously to defend themselves.
"Master Ham, the shift is about to change, and the captain just left for a while, so it shouldn't cause too much of an impact..."
Unlike Ham who is always on guard, for most of the guards in the royal capital, daily duty and patrol are just a routine formality.
After all, in their opinion, the war against the empire has long been over. In addition, the royal capital is the place with the strongest defense force in the entire kingdom, and there are still several great wizards there.
Those believers of the Moon God who hid in the dark like mad dogs would not dare to attack the royal capital even if they had ten times the courage, as this would be tantamount to seeking death.
"Do you know that the kingdom is still at war? Several speakers are leading the kingdom's most elite troops to fight against those evil demons from foreign lands in the north. Now is not the time to relax!" Ham shouted angrily.
Although the North is far away from here, the Parliament has put all major cities under strict surveillance, increased the number of patrols, and conducted detailed identity checks on everyone entering and leaving the capital.
Judging from the strength of the defense, even though they are in the rear, they are not 100% safe. Ham, who is unaware of the existence of the space-time gate, thinks that this is probably to prevent someone with ulterior motives from taking advantage of this opportunity to create unrest in secret.
Ham severely reprimanded the lazy guards. When he was about to send someone to bring back the captain to be punished, he unexpectedly saw a large group of people walking towards the north gate.
"Master Jarvan, why are you back?" Ham recognized the great wizard at a glance and greeted him eagerly.
"I have... very important matters... that need to be reported to the priests of the great Moon God. Please go ahead!" Jarvan's words seemed a little unfamiliar, as if he had just learned to speak.
"Moon God?" Ham looked at Master Jarvan with a strange look, then exchanged glances with several guards who looked surprised, and said calmly, "I may need to send someone to report it."
"No, I can go in by myself." Jarvan also noticed the subtle changes in the expressions of the guards, and spoke in a slightly tough tone.
"Please wait a moment, Master. The entire capital is under martial law. Anyone entering or leaving needs to register and report..." Ham tried his best to calm the great wizard, and a guard had already gone to report quietly.
"I'll only say this once, get out of the way! This is very important information!" Jarvan said very firmly, and at the same time he was ready to cast the spell.
However, Ham was more decisive. The moment he realized that Jarvan was trying to force his way in, he shouted loudly.
"Enemy attack, attack them all!"
The guards were already prepared because the other party's words were too outrageous.
Reporting to the great priest of the Moon God? This made them wonder if the man in front of them, disguised as Master Jarvan, had a mental problem?
The new muskets equipped by the capital's guards no longer needed to be loaded before battle, they could be fired directly by raising the muzzle! However, the continuous barrage of bullets stopped five centimeters away from Jarvan's body, and then flew back at a faster speed, piercing through the guards' armor, and wailing sounds suddenly resounded in front of the city gate.
Fortunately, although the kingdom's guards seemed a little slack due to the recent peace, after all, it has only been less than a year since the war with the church, and they still showed due quality. At Ham's warning, a large number of patrols immediately came to support.
Several wizards stationed there also promptly communicated through electromagnetic waves and passed the news of the attack to the royal capital.
Cecil, who was lurking outside the royal capital, gave a cold look at Varok. If this stupid dragon had not devoured the souls of those people, causing him to be unable to obtain their memories and only be able to temporarily learn the common language of this plane through the divine spell [Language Proficiency], how could he be detected so easily.
"I've sensed it. There is no breath of strong people in this city. You are too cautious, Cecil. This is just a waste of our time..." Valok let out an inspiring roar, then spread his wings and flew towards the capital of the Magic Kingdom, ready to massacre the city, use death as a sacrifice, and let the great Lord of the Undead come!
At this point, Cecil said no more. He immediately lifted the concealment spell cast on a large number of undead and began to massacre the nearest indigenous city.
"Quick, stop them!" "Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!"
Waves of rapid shouts echoed inside the royal capital. As more and more reinforcements arrived, Jarvan and others who attempted to break into the city were quickly killed by the two great wizards who arrived.
"Damn it, it's actually necromancy!" The great wizard Bird was extremely angry.

When he received the report, he thought someone was disguising himself as Jarvan and others and trying to sneak into the city. He didn't expect that someone had killed him and used necromancy to control the corpse.
This means there is a problem with the space-time gate!
The next moment, the great wizard Bird realized that his guess had come true, because a huge figure appeared in the sky above the royal capital. It was a giant skeleton dragon over a hundred meters long. It looked ferocious and terrifying, and the power it emanated even frightened many timid guards so much that they collapsed on the ground and could not move.
[Winter Dragon] Varok opened his mouth wide and spit out a terrible breath of ice. This dragon breath mixed with ultra-low temperature and resentful spirits was enough to freeze any living being to death in an instant and take away their souls.
However, an invisible magic barrier soon rose up in various places in the royal capital, intercepting the freezing breath.
As one of the most core areas of the Magic Kingdom, the Royal Capital naturally has the highest level of protection!
Inside the magic tower standing in the center is an alchemy formation set up by Vittorio and a dozen alchemy masters. Even legendary spells would find it difficult to break it.
[Winter Dragon] Valok swung his dragon tail violently, hitting the protective barrier hard, causing ripples. Bird was frightened when he saw it. Once the protective magic circle was damaged, they would be powerless to fight against such a monster.
But this was not a solution. Their magic reserves were not unlimited. Facing the fierce attack of a legendary creature, they could only hold out for about a minute at best, and it would be difficult for them to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
It seems that we can only use that! The great wizard Bird thought to himself that they still have a secret weapon that can threaten the legend, that is the solar furnace located in the magic tower below the city! Just as Bird was thinking, the three great wizards in the magic tower who were responsible for guarding the solar furnace also took action and activated the magic circle of the promotion ceremony.
This alchemical array can gather the endless energy of the Sun Furnace. Since it is used for promotion, it can also be used for attack! As long as three great wizards work together to guide it, they can use the power of fusion to perform the legendary spell - [Spear of Judgment]! [Winter Dragon] Varok, who was violently destroying the magic barrier, suddenly felt a palpitation and immediately stopped his action and flew to avoid it, but a huge beam of light had already shot out from the ground and went straight through its right wing.
Accompanied by a painful dragon roar, the huge dragon body suddenly fell from the sky.
Cecil, who had never shown up, was not surprised at all when he saw the [Winter Dragon] Valok falling down. It was undoubtedly the most stupid move to expose himself in front of everyone without figuring out the opponent's strength.
While Valok was attracting other people's attention, Cecil quietly used the corpses of Jarvan and others to launch a corpse explosion!
A dark green poisonous mist immediately erupted from the hundreds of mutilated corpses, covering the dozen guards who were preparing to move the corpses...
