Midnight.
The thick clouds floating in the sky completely obscured the moon, and most of the residents of Youlai City fell asleep. The street lights became the biggest source of light in the dark night.
"General, are we setting off?"
In the inner city of Youlai, in a military camp less than 4 kilometers away from Naya Manor, the adjutant asked in a low voice.
The commander of the camp was General Martin Lisbon.
He was about forty-five or forty-six years old, tall and strong, with brown hair but a slight graying at the temples.
At this moment, he looked at his adjutant and asked in a low voice: "Is everything ready?"
"Everything is ready, from the operation to the aftermath. All the necessary materials are in excess, and we even have enough body bags."
Lisbon asked again: "Are the soldiers clear about their mission?"
"The soldiers are about to eliminate a group of corrupted councillors who have been bewitched by the dark demons from the outer planes. The leader of this group of corrupted councillors is Naya."
"That's all the information the soldiers know, nothing more."
Lisbon nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, let's get started!"
The straight-line distance of 4 kilometers can be crossed in 5 minutes at most by more than 3,000 elite sky warriors.
Once they reach their destination, they will send Naya's manor and all the stubborn councilors hiding inside to hell in less than 10 minutes.
Then, all the bodies will be cleaned up, all the blood will be washed away, and even the damaged houses will be simply repaired.
When the sun rises the next day, everything will be exactly the same as usual, and the Missionaries of Light will appear on the streets again.
The Gods of Light will move into the Republic of the Sky, and any voices opposing them will be gradually drowned out by God's endless glory.
Following the general's order, three thousand soldiers took up their weapons, quietly left the barracks, and began to march quickly towards their destination.
They lived up to the title of elite troops, marching quickly and quietly, like leopards running wildly in the dark, without even alarming the dogs on the street.
Everything went smoothly in the first three kilometers.
However, when they were within the last 1,000 meters of Naya Manor, an accident occurred.
"Thump, thump, thump~thump, thump, thump~~~"
At some point, many defensive fortifications appeared on the streets, and many soldiers were stationed behind the fortifications.
The weapons of these warriors actually emitted a blue fire that was very different from the Nahuatl muskets, and the sounds were also completely different.
The group of soldiers rushing in the front were hit one after another without being careful.
They fell to the ground without a sound, their movements in unison, like wheat being harvested in a field.
The soldiers behind were startled and immediately shrank back into the darkness and hid.
"Hide~~Hide~Find a place to hide!"
"There is an ambush ahead, and the firepower is very fierce!"
"Master, hurry up and see what's going on!"
After a brief moment of confusion, the elite sky warriors quickly stabilized their position, and the detection mages also figured out the situation ahead.
"Reporting to the commander, the block ahead has been blocked by an army of about a thousand people."
"They have blocked all the roads leading to Naya Manor and are carrying very sophisticated firearms. Our soldiers' armor has no defensive effect at all."
The commander at the front immediately contacted General Lisbon in the rear and informed him of the abnormal situation.
Lisbon was slightly surprised and immediately asked, "Have you figured out whose warrior it is?"
"I figured it out. Looking at the army number, it should be Captain Armonk's city guards."
Centurion Armonk is not a well-known name, and the city guards he leads are far less powerful than the elite troops in the inner city, not to mention that their number is only one-third of theirs.
General Lisbon immediately said, "Pull them out!"
"Yes, General!"
In the dark night, the two armies began a fierce exchange of fire on the streets of the inner city of Youlai.
"Bang bang bang~~~" was the sound of the Nahuatl musket exploding.
"Tutututu~~~" is an unknown weapon emitting blue flames.
'Boom~~Boom~~~' is a strange flying weapon that belongs to the legion of Captain Armonk and has amazing power.
"Buzz~~Buzz~~Buzz~~~"
This is the spell of the elite sky battle wizards who are desperately attacking Armonk's soldiers.
The night was dark and the effects of spell attacks could not be seen clearly, but every combat mage felt vaguely that the combat spells that used to be very useful were not so effective tonight for some reason.
The performance was also very intuitive. They clearly released a large number of attack spells, but the opponent's attack frequency hardly changed.
It was as if they were throwing fancy tricks rather than powerful battle spells.
But no matter what, the three-to-one military strength ratio temporarily concealed the gap in casualties between the two sides.
The fight between the two sides was still very intense, and for a moment, it was unclear who was the winner.
In the void, the Moon Lord Shar moved a little closer to the mortal world to observe the battle between the armies at close range.
After watching for a while, she realized that something was very wrong.
"The casualties of the elite sky warriors were far higher than those of their opponents, reaching an astonishing twenty to one!"
It takes the death of 20 elite sky warriors to kill 1 Armonk warrior.
It can also be seen that as the casualties grow larger and larger, the combat effectiveness of the elite sky warriors becomes weaker and weaker, and the casualty ratio becomes higher and higher.
It is only a matter of time before the final defeat.
If the Sky Guard is defeated and the Armonk warriors return to defend Naya Manor, tonight's raid plan will fail.
Sha'er immediately said, "Light Assassin, rush into Naya Manor now!"
The 36 Saints of Light turned into streams of light, and taking advantage of the chaotic time when the two armies were exchanging fire, relying on the power of legendary warriors, they began to forcibly break through the defense line formed by the Armonk warriors.
However, Shar once again underestimated the attack power of the Armonk warriors.
These guys have amazing defense, and the things emitting blue fire in their hands have even more amazing attack power.
The first wave of Saints of Light attempted to break through, but immediately suffered the result of three deaths and one serious injury. The remaining saints immediately gave up the idea of breaking through.
The Full Moon Warrior Adali immediately reported the battle situation to Shar.
"Master, the opponent's attacks are too terrible. They can break spells and armors. They are numerous and accurate. The strength of a single attack is above Legendary 5. Our defensive magic weapons can't stop them at all."
If he hadn't retreated quickly just now, he would be the one falling to the ground bleeding.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sharp whistle of "whoosh~~~" and a beam of light flew rapidly towards Adali's hiding place.
Adali had seen the enormous power of this thing before, and immediately shouted, "Hide!"
He immediately used a phantom displacement spell, and his body turned into a white cold light, quickly moving away from his hiding place.
"Boom~~~"
There was a loud noise behind him, and a gust of air mixed with dirt and metal fragments hit Adali's back violently, knocking Adali more than 20 meters away and hitting a stone wall with a "bang".
Adali felt a sharp pain in his back and his whole body almost fell apart, but he did not dare to stay. He immediately turned over and hid in a remote alley.
After hiding, he immediately checked the battle damage and found that all his defensive magic weapons were scrapped. The shining divine iron mail armor he was wearing was inlaid with many sharp metal fragments, some of which had penetrated deeply into the gaps in the mail armor and pierced his skin.
Looking at his previous hiding place again, two of the four Saints of Light died on the spot, and the other two were seriously injured and vomiting blood. It seemed that they would not live long.
He felt so chilled that he couldn't help but shout, "Master, the defenders are too strong. We can't defeat them at all!"
Of course Shar saw it, watching the saint she had carefully trained being killed by a group of soldiers.
Her heart was bleeding, and at the same time, a burning anger was bubbling up in her.
"We can fight! I'll lead the way, and you charge from behind!"
At the same time, he contacted Godfrey, Lord of Judgement: "Why are you hesitating? Follow me and clear the way!"
"Yes, Sarah!"
Godfrey immediately rushed out from his hiding place.
Two void gods, a powerful level 12 god, and a level 9 god, are approaching the tenth magic circle on earth together.
The two of them relied on their own enormous strength to forcibly squeeze the already fragile magic ring of the mortal world and deform it to a high degree.
The magic ring vibrated violently, greatly affecting the souls of mortals.
For a moment, the warriors on both sides who were fighting fiercely in the mortal world had to temporarily cease fire because of the violent shock of their souls.
"Now!"
Sarah yelled.
The masters were personally charging forward, so Adali naturally rushed forward with all his might.
He took the remaining 28 Saints of Light, seized the opportunity to pass through the fortifications built by the Armonk warriors, and rushed to Naya Manor a thousand meters away at the fastest speed.
At the same time, groups of hidden darkness were surging rapidly, hiding in the shadows cast by the magic light inspired by the Saints of Light, following the Saints of Light silently and as fast as lightning.
For a legendary warrior, a distance of one thousand meters is almost the same as what is right in front of him.
With one sprint, the Saints of Light rushed outside the wall of Naya Manor.
Sha'er shouted: "Quick, hurry up and kill everyone in the manor!"
If these most prestigious and toughest congressmen of the Sky Republic are killed, the resolute militants in the Republic will lose their backbone, and will be divided, disintegrated and eliminated one by one.
But just as he finished his words, an extremely large pale golden defensive barrier suddenly appeared on the main building of the manor.
This barrier is extremely thick, and at first glance it appears to be more than one meter thick.
It is also extremely condensed, showing a crystal texture similar to that of solid crystal.
At the same time, in the yard in front of the main building of the manor, a tall figure slowly emerged.
It was Rosen.
And it's just him.
He looked at the 29 Saints of Light who rushed into the manor and laughed.
"A group of self-proclaimed hypocrites have finally revealed their devilish nature!"
As soon as Shar saw Rosen, she immediately said, "That's him, the Emperor of the Natural Empire!"
"Everyone, kill him at all costs!"
Because as long as they kill this man, the Sky Republic, with its power, will be no match for the Light God Clan.
Adali led the charge without hesitation.
He is a warrior, and his weapons are two scimitars. At this moment, the scimitars are spinning at high speed, emitting moon-like light.
The moonlight followed Adali's charge and rushed towards Rosen at high speed.
This attack has a name, called "Moon Goddess' Gaze", its strength is focused to Legend 15, and its scale is astonishingly huge.
Not to mention mortals, even an ordinary void demon would die on the spot after being hit by this blow.
At the same time, the other Saints of Light also took action.
There are 10 Moon Saints, half of whom are Full Moon Warriors, and they charge with Adali.
The other half is the Moon Mage, who summons the moon fire.
There are 15 Flame Saints, most of whom are mages. At this time, they used a single flame curse on Rosen.
The last four are the Sun Saints.
Together, they used the spell "Wrath of the Sun" on Rosen.
At this moment, every saint used his full strength.
In the void, Shar was also watching, and she focused on Rosen's soul connection point at the eleventh ring.
He condensed a long-handled soul moon blade and stabbed it down with all his strength.
Facing this famously powerful mortal emperor, she did not dare to hold back at all.
She also believed that with the combined attack of everyone, not to mention a mortal, even Atumen from Legend 14 would have to retreat.
But the next moment, Rosen broke the connection with the magic ring and avoided Shar's attack.
At the same time, he gently waved the staff in his hand and summoned a tremendous force.
From Shar's void perspective, she saw the power of the Saints of Light crashing towards Rosen like a raging tide.
But after Rosen waved his hand, the "raging tide" rolled back directly as if it had hit a reef on the seashore.
Among them, Adali rushed the most violently, so he hit harder.
He flew back in a straight line along the same path and hit the ground hard, shattering the floor tiles with a loud 'crash'. His remaining momentum continued as he continued to retreat in the mud.
So, his body was like an iron plow, pulling out a five or six meter long ditch in the mud.
Then he lay in the mud, motionless, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive.
Looking at the other 28 Saints of Light, some were flying backwards, some were fainting, and no one was standing.
Sha'er's eyes suddenly widened: "How is it possible!"
A total of 29 Saints of Light attacked together, and the instantaneous attack was so fierce that even she did not dare to face it head-on.
Now, he was repelled by this mortal emperor with a casual wave of his hand!
How did he do that? Is he still a mortal?! But Shar is not disappointed yet, because she still has a special force hidden in the dark.
But after waiting for a second, her hopes were dashed.
Because she saw those traitorous saints of Godfrey.
All 19 saints of judgment were present, not one less.
They surrounded the body of the Emperor of Nature and constructed a magical barrier of extremely incredible strength.
After just one glance, Shar knew that even she would have to put in some effort to break it, and it would certainly be enough to withstand the attacks of the Night Knight.
Perhaps he could not hold on for long, but judging by the terrible methods that the Emperor of Nature had previously displayed, if he delayed for a moment, the Knight of Darkness would immediately repeat the fate of the Saint of Light.
Therefore, the raid plan had failed! For a moment, Sha'er was somewhat distraught.
But she was a huge god after all, and she came to her senses after a moment.
'The opponent's strength is far beyond imagination, and the void is not safe either. I have to leave quickly!'
She felt a strong sense of crisis in her heart, and had a premonition that if she didn't escape immediately, she would be killed by the enemy.
Although he was very sad about the loss of the Saints of Light, he was unable to save himself and had no time to save the saints.
She turned away from the Circle of Eleven.
But as soon as she moved, she realized something was wrong.
There was a strange force dragging her body.
It felt like diving into a dense mass of chaotic power.
The resistance to forward movement is very great, and the faster the speed, the greater the resistance felt.
"What's going on?"
Sha'er was confused for a moment, then she understood: 'Oh no, the eleven magic rings are about to converge!'
The eleven magic rings in the mortal world are scattered and incomplete, so the gods and demons in the void can enter and exit freely.
But now, I don’t know what method Rosen used, but he actually completed the eleven magic rings!
Once the magic ring converges, she will be completely trapped, and with the opponent's means, she will definitely die! Sha'er sprinted towards the sky with all her strength.
The resistance grew greater and greater, and her speed became slower and slower.
I could also feel that the void above my head was becoming increasingly blurry, as if a cloud of mist was gathering.
“Ah~~”
Sha'er screamed with all her might, using all her strength, and her speed increased even more.
If I continue to struggle so violently, she might really rush out.
Rosen's mind moved: "Godfrey!"
At some point, Godfrey, Lord of Judgement, had escaped from the Eleven Rings and was now looking at Shar who was struggling to escape from the void outside the ring.
He looked at Sha'er and shouted, "Don't panic, I'll help you!"
Sha'er also saw him, and her mind relaxed. The ruthlessness of a lone wolf in desperate situation suddenly faded a lot, and her explosive power also weakened a lot.
She yelled, "Help me!"
Godfrey held out his hand to her.
Shar was delighted and reached out to Godfrey for help.
Just as he was about to catch her, Godfrey suddenly swung his arm, dodged Shar's hand, and slapped Shar's face hard, and pushed her down with all his strength! Godfrey 's soul was less than one-fifteenth of Shar's. Under normal circumstances, this blow would be no different from a tickle.
But at this moment, most of Shar's strength was used to fight against the restraints of the eleven magic rings, and she was already at the end of her strength.
She thought she had received help from her allies, and her fighting spirit was gone, but what she got was betrayal! This made her fall into the abyss.
"Crack, crack, crack~"
The eleventh ring is completely converged.
"Bang~"
Shar crashed into the wall of the eleventh ring, causing it to emit bursts of faint light, but she herself was also repelled by the huge force and fell from the sky like a broken-winged angel.
"Godfrey, you traitor!"
Sarah screamed hysterically, wishing she could eat this bastard alive!
Outside the eleven ring wall, Godfrey looked at the trapped Shar with a very complicated expression on his face.
"Sha'er, I'm sorry, but I have to do this."
"Hahaha~ I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, but when I think about you having this day, I really want to laugh."
"Hahahaha, just wait to be tormented by your master, hahahaha~"
Godfrey's laughter became more and more crazy.
The mortal world.
After successfully capturing the Moon Lord Shar, Rosen turned his head and looked into the darkness ahead, saying loudly: "Alamanni's Night Knights, I've found you."
"I don't want to make an enemy of the great Lord of Night, but I am not afraid to do so either."
"So, if you want to fight, then fight!"
"If you want to retreat, I will let you leave!"
In the darkness, the dark shadows stagnated for a moment, and then an old female voice was heard.
"Since Your Excellency has mastered the power of the Freezing Ring and is willing to let my Saint go, our previous feud is completely over."
Following these words, the black shadow quickly retreated.
After a while, phase shift waves were heard from the outskirts of the city.
No more, no less, exactly 10.
The Dark Knights left very decisively.
Rosen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the Saint of Light in the manor garden.
"Eruditos, disarm them and capture them all!"
The golden scholars all looked at Rosen with great reverence and carried out his orders meticulously.
Soon, Rosen had 29 more legendary prisoners.
He finally looked at Shar who was trapped in the Eleven Rings.
I was half happy and half worried: "I did catch it, but it's a little big."
The exact soul strength of Shar, the fish, is 12.2, and the soul size is 15.8 times that of Godfrey.
Rosen was relatively calm in restraining Godfrey.
It was a bit difficult to restrain Shar, and he couldn't do it without the help of the Heart of Eternity.
To him now, the fish in the net is too big and strong.
It is not difficult to kill it, but it takes a lot of effort to capture it alive. If you are not careful, you will get slapped in the face by the fish's tail.
It’s not fun to get slapped by such a big fish.
