It should be noted that the Serpent Clan currently has negligible power within the royal family, and their only real source of support is themselves. Such a promise from the other party is already extremely generous.
Even knowing that the other party did this to win over Zuan, she still expressed her gratitude.
The two quickly became acquainted, even chatting and laughing hand in hand like longtime best friends.
Zuan thought to himself, "Women's friendships come so suddenly, will they go just as suddenly?"
Next, they went to join forces with their respective factions. The Elf King also organized his forces, but the team was led by Qiao Xueying and Qiao Heng, who had connections with Zaun. The Great Elf King did not appear in public.
Clearly, after returning and discussing the matter, the entire Elven Elder Council disagreed with such a risky approach, considering the same considerations as the Sea Clan and the Demon Clan, and thus adopted a similar method.
Seeing that the Great Elf King had not come, the Little Fairy Queen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She knew that at such a crucial moment, having an extra high-level combatant might just determine the final outcome.
Seeing her worry, Zuan comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here."
The Little Demon Queen forced a smile. Although she found it strange that he sounded so confident, she knew that he was only a Grandmaster and probably wouldn't be able to affect the overall situation.
Then, the Xiao family, the maternal family of the Little Demon Queen, also arrived upon hearing the news. Together with the demons and sea people, they, along with the Golden Crow Guards led by Lei Xin and Wu Cheng, marched straight towards the palace.
In any dynasty, the imperial palace held immense symbolic and political significance; controlling the imperial palace was tantamount to winning half the battle.
In addition, her status as the Little Demon Empress gave her too many legitimate opportunities to manipulate things.
A large group of people stormed to the palace gates, but were quickly stopped by soldiers.
The palace is the crown prince's territory, how could he allow others to set foot in it?
The Little Demon Queen appeared directly: "Even I can't return to the palace?"
"The Crown Prince has ordered that no unauthorized persons are allowed to enter the palace," a soldier mechanically refused.
“What Crown Prince? Now you should call him Your Majesty.” At this moment, another loud voice rang out.
Zu An frowned; the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Soon a burly figure appeared on the wall, followed by several familiar faces: several princes of the Lion Clan, Lion Min, Lion Gong, and Lion Rong.
The man in front of them was none other than Lion King Shi Zhentian.
At the same time, a large number of Lion Clan warriors appeared on the city wall, drawing their bows and aiming their arrows at the Golden Crow Guards outside.
The little demon queen's expression changed: "Shi Zhentian, are you planning a rebellion?"
"You're the one who's rebelling now!" Lion Shaking Heaven sneered. "The new Demon Emperor has appointed me to be in charge of the palace's defense. Are you bringing so many people here to commit treason?"
The princes behind Lion's Compassion looked at Zaun with a sinister smile in their eyes, thinking that winning first is not winning at all. They were the ones who would have the last laugh. They would wait and see how they would deal with Zaun!
