The two sides were fighting fiercely, and it was difficult to tell who was stronger. No one noticed that a huge nine-layer magic circle was quietly operating.
Like a glutton, it greedily absorbed the energy overflowing from the fight, as well as the blood and spiritual power left behind by the knights and magicians after their deaths.
Within the capital, important venues like the academy, city hall, library, the Magic Guild, and the Mercenary Guild remained intact. Even before the bell rang, the king had already made arrangements, activating a defensive magic circle to protect these vital facilities.
At this moment, at the intersection of the nine magic circles in the secret realm, an old man with legendary peak strength sat there.
He absorbed the extraordinary power transmitted from the blood, the energy dissipated in battle, and the mental fluctuations, accumulating them continuously, waiting for an opportunity to achieve a breakthrough at a critical juncture.
On the other side, Avril and King Charlemagne were already engaged in a fierce battle, with the situation at a stalemate.
King Charlemagne had a plan in mind. He wanted to force Avril and her followers out of the secret realm so that the huge nine-layer magic circle outside could absorb the tremendous energy released by their battle.
Thinking of this, he calmly glanced at the two legendary knights beside him.
The two legendary fighters instantly understood the king's intention, a hint of determination flashed in their eyes, and they rushed towards the exit without hesitation, trying to drive Avril and others out of the secret realm with the force of thunder.
Avril was so perceptive that she quickly realized the other party's intention.
But she had her own ideas and decided to do the opposite, so the two sides fell into a stalemate.
As time goes by, the situation becomes increasingly stalemate and difficult to resolve.
At this critical moment, Avril had an idea and quickly informed the dragon knight Eric through secret communication means.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the agile figure of the dragon knight Eric appeared at the entrance of the secret realm.
He rushed straight into the secret realm without hesitation.
With Eric's sudden appearance, both sides who were fighting stopped involuntarily, and the atmosphere on the scene instantly became tense and subtle.
When Avril saw Eric show up, she thought victory was certain, and hurriedly shouted to the dragon knight Eric to kill the king immediately.
However, Eric seemed to be deaf to the noise. He neither paid attention to Avril's orders nor took any offensive action. He just hovered quietly in the air, exuding an inviolable aura, forcibly stopping the two sides from fighting.
In reality, Eric had other plans. He quietly poured his powerful knight power into Frost Condensate.
The dragon possesses unique perception abilities, and with the infusion of the knight's power, her perception is greatly enhanced.
Eric guessed that if the royal family really was hiding some unspeakable secret, it was most likely hidden in this mysterious secret place.
As expected, as the knight's power continued to be injected, Shuang Ning keenly sensed that streams of strange energy were rapidly converging towards a specific direction in the secret realm.
After learning this key information, Eric did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly took out the communication crystal to inform Martin of this amazing discovery.
When Martin heard this, his heart was shocked and the expression on his face froze instantly.
Then, a terrible thought came to his mind, causing him to break out in a cold sweat, and his back was instantly soaked with sweat.
"No way? This old guy is playing such a big game?"
Martin was about to edit the information and ask Eric to find a way to destroy the magic circle, but something unexpected happened suddenly.
The backup plan carefully planned by the two Grand Dukes Pietro was suddenly activated. In an instant, a dragon man with overwhelming power rushed out side by side with a gem dragon knight, like two heavy artillery shells, directly and violently breaking through the city.
Their goal was clear, to directly attack the first and second Warcraft Legions.
For the dragonmen and gem dragon knights with legendary strength, facing the first and second Warcraft Legions seemed like a farce.
There was no doubt that this battle would be a disaster for the Warcraft Legion.
The dragon man was surrounded by a mighty dragon, and blood rained down as he waved his claws; the jewel dragon knight rode the jewel dragon, and wherever his spear pointed, the soldiers of the Warcraft Legion fell down one after another.
In a flash, the two Warcraft legions were completely wiped out, and Prince Herbert also died heroically in this brutal massacre.
Afterwards, the dragon man and the gem dragon knight did not stop. They flashed and directly broke through the space crack, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the place where everyone was fighting in the sky.
As early as when they were slaughtering the two monster armies, the two sides in the fierce battle had tacitly stopped fighting and their eyes were all turned to this sudden change.
When the Duke of Battle Flag saw this scene, his heart sank, and he subconsciously felt that the Kingdom of Charlemagne was doomed this time.
However, when he saw that the two old royal men were still calm and confident, he couldn't help but guess that the royal family must have some hidden cards that had not been revealed yet, so he gave up the idea of taking the opportunity to escape.
At this moment, the Gem Dragon Knight, with a solemn expression, was the first to break the silence and said, "Pietro, I sense that this place is enveloped by a massive magic circle, and that magic circle is continuously transmitting energy."
Upon hearing this, Pietro did not dare to slack off at all. He quickly used his powerful perception power to carefully investigate.
After some exploration, I did find some subtle clues.
At this moment, the man in black robe, who had been hiding in the shadows, as if blending into the darkness, also completed his perception of the surroundings.
As if he had witnessed something terrifying enough to overturn his cognition, the black-robed man's face was filled with shock, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "This is unbelievable! I never thought that the Kingdom of Charlemagne would dare to do such a shameful thing!"
In an instant, the black-robed man's words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the black-robed figure, eyes filled with surprise and curiosity. He paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "This is a magic circle left behind by the ancient Dark Empire. Back then, it was notorious."
"It can absorb the extraordinary strength and spiritual power contained in the dead, even the energy emitted during battle."
"This absorbed energy will be transformed into gentle energy through the magic circle for people to absorb, thereby impacting their realm and achieving a breakthrough. However, this magic circle has an extremely huge hidden danger."
"If the energy absorbed during the breakthrough process is insufficient to support the breakthrough, it will automatically operate, extracting the vitality of all life within the range of the magic circle to fill the energy gap."
After hearing what the man in black robe said, everyone's faces instantly became extremely ugly, as if they were shrouded in dark clouds, and their expressions kept changing.
