Chapter 673: Ninth Order Enters
Shortly after the Fourth Princess met Fiona, the first wave of enemies finally jumped out.
The first ones to arrive were just some small fry. There was no need for the hidden power of the Olivendi family to take action. Anvis directly commanded the city guards and caught them all in one fell swoop while they were still planning to raid the lord's mansion.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the seventh-level leader of the gathering wanted to escape early, but was intercepted by two experimental demonized soldiers arranged by Anvis in advance.
Then, a great battle broke out. The seventh-rank warrior burned his own spiritual essence to successfully kill a demonized soldier leader, severely injured another, and fled, but was eventually killed by Lilith of Desire who was waiting in that direction.
Although these people did not even enter the City Lord's Mansion, they were able to find out a lot of information about the Star Territory from the outside world.
It is obvious that the Olivendi family has set up layers of defense in the Star Territory, and it is not something that ordinary forces can challenge.
As they were unaware of the true situation, the leader of the demonized soldiers created by Anvis and the actions of Lilith of Desire were all blamed on the Olivendi family.
So, without too much probing, a few days later, a lone ninth-rank [Silver Flame] who had been active in the eastern part of the empire, around the Magna Province, raided the Silver Gull City Lord's Mansion, attempting to forcibly abduct Fiona.
But when he actually broke into the lord's mansion, not only did he fail, he was almost killed on the spot by the long-awaited guardian of the Olivendi family.
If it wasn't for the critical moment, when another mysterious ninth-level master suddenly appeared and attacked Fiona, causing the Olivendi Guardian's attention to be distracted for a moment, he would definitely have been annihilated on the spot by the rule-distorting magic circle that the guardian had previously set up.
After abandoning the body, the consciousness of [Silver Flame] escaped with serious injuries. But as the price of "saving" him, the newly appeared mysterious ninth level was directly pulled into a special secret realm magic item by the Alfred family guardian waiting on the side, and could not escape.
As [Silver Flame] escaped, the guardian of the Olivendi family joined the battle. Under the siege of two ninth-level extreme warriors, this unlucky ninth-level warrior was killed on the spot.
After the battle, the Olivendi Guardian used the Fate Tracing Artifact to search for all the backups left by the Ninth Order. As for the Silver Flame, the other Ninth Orders of the family were responsible for hunting him down.
This time he wanted to use these two ninth-level masters to establish his authority and let everyone see the consequences of provoking the Olivendi family.
As the investigation progressed, the identity of the mysterious ninth-level master was revealed.
His real identity is a lone ninth-rank [Spiritual Hymn] from the Federation. This time he suddenly sneaked into the Empire, and it was obvious that he had reached a cooperation with certain forces within the country.
The guardian traced back to more than a dozen backup plans that [Spiritual Hymn] had prepared for his accidental death. There were sarcophagi hidden in high towers, a finger buried deep in the underground world, and a ring swallowed by a fish.
As long as one of these things still exists, he can be reborn with it as a support.
After finding out the truth, the guardian used the secret method of the Olivendi family to penetrate the space along the invisible connection and destroyed all these backup plans.
After such a sweep, [Ode to the Spirit World] can almost be officially declared expelled from the list. Even if the opponent may have a backup plan that cannot be tracked by the strange objects, it is basically impossible for it to recover within hundreds of years.
At the same time, on the other side, Duke Carrot publicly accused Marquis Draka and others of inviting a wolf into the house, colluding with the ninth level of the Federation, and plotting to overthrow the empire. They are despicable!
The marquises naturally said that all this was purely the personal behavior of the two ninth-level people, and that Duke Carrot's accusation was a malicious fabrication in an attempt to accuse them of unfounded crimes.
However, behind the scenes, with the attack of these two ninth-level warriors, many people with ulterior motives also figured out the true defensive strength of Fiona's side.
Two ninth-level ultimate guardians! After hearing this news, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
This lineup is indeed very strong, but when it is exposed, it is not so scary.
It's a very simple truth. The number of ninth-level warriors is fixed. Now that the two major families are still at war with the marquises, the more ninth-level warriors there are guarding Fiona's side, the fewer ninth-level warriors will appear on the battlefield.
Seeing this clearly, the seven marquises themselves soon appeared on battlefields in various places.
In order to maintain a balance of power, the nine-rank officials of the two families, including the two dukes themselves, had to personally take action as soon as possible and confront the opposing marquises from a distance.
Although no ninth-rank warrior had taken action yet, the tension in the empire was visibly increasing, and the speed at which the war spread was also accelerating.
It was like a barrel of explosives with a fuse already inserted, waiting for only a little spark to blow everything to pieces. . …..….Glorious Year 2464, Blazing Sun Month, Day 1.
An ancient religious group called the Star Praise Cult suddenly appeared and notified the Olivendi family that they would send three apostles to the Star to take Fiona away in seven days.
It was a childish announcement, but it made the two major families that received it feel extremely solemn.
This is an open conspiracy, and the two families must make a choice. If they do nothing, Fiona will be in danger. If they mobilize the ninth rank to come back to protect Fiona, then one of the battlefields will inevitably be lost.
Letting Fiona go home and hide for a few days would not solve any problems, because the core of the safety of the family secret realm lies in the ninth-level guardian stationed in it. Now, all the ninth-level guardians of the two major families have gone out, and there is no place safer than Xingchen Territory.
In fact, the two families had no choice but to keep Fiona. In contrast, no matter how unfavorable the battle situation was, Fiona could not have any problems, and she even had to gain an advantage in the battle with the attacking apostles.
Because there are too many people eyeing Fiona, if she shows signs of weakness, they have no doubt that other ninth-level people will take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of her.
After an urgent study, the two major families responded. Each family secretly transferred back a ninth-level person to secretly protect Fiona's safety.
But in contrast, there were two fewer ninth-level warriors on the battlefield of the two major families.
This is quite fatal, because a legion without a ninth-level commander will never be able to defeat a legion with a ninth-level commander.
However, although the Duke's side seemed to lack core combat power, the opposing Marquis did not take action immediately.
The ninth level is still the ninth level after all. If there is no one to restrain them, they can instantly teleport back to the legion.
Only when they are pinned down by the apostles of the Songxing Esoteric Cult and have no time to spare, is it the time to truly launch a general attack.
The war seemed to have been temporarily paused. The people of the two major families concentrated on setting up defenses around Fiona. The marquises also stopped their offensive and began to accumulate strength, as if retracting their fists so that they could strike more powerfully later.
Many people are waiting, waiting for the time to come.
Under this situation, Anvis secretly arrived at the front line, and then met Duke Carrot in magical ceremonial attire in the central military tent.
"What's the matter, Anweisi? Why did you come here to see me in person?"
Looking at Anvis, Carlotte felt a little strange.
"Father, I heard that the territory was threatened by the [Star-Singing Cult]. If we choose to defend the Star Territory, the battlefield situation will definitely fail. But I think I have a way to deal with this disaster."
"But before I tell you my solution, Father, I would like to ask you a question."
Facing Duke Carrot's gaze, Anvis stated his problem.
"What secrets are hidden in Fiona?"
Gugu, let me make up for yesterday (end of this chapter)
