"Damn it!" Lucas roared, and spewed out red dragon breath in the direction of the attack. The scorching flames burned the ground black, but failed to hit any entity.
Martin looked around solemnly and decided to use the core energy - he directly used the core in the space ring to upgrade it to the star cluster level.
As the core energy was consumed drastically, the aura around Kage's body began to increase dramatically, and slowly began to emit star-cluster-level pressure.
"Kage, eliminate the invaders!" Martin said in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir!"
Kage received the order and instantly formed a bright ball of energy in his hands, which he accurately threw towards the area with the most concentrated life sources in the hall.
With a loud "bang", the energy ball exploded, and several invisible figures appeared under the impact, with cracks appearing on their armor.
Kage then rushed forward, his energy transformed into sharp blades, and he harvested the exposed members of the Sky-Inlaid Storm Force like cutting melons and vegetables.
On the other side, Del Luna and Lucas had driven the giant dragon to Martin's side, and the huge dragon body formed a solid barrier.
Protecting him in the center, Long Tong vigilantly locked onto every corner.
With Kerger's arrival, the tide of battle completely reversed. One by one, the members of the Void Storm Force were slain, leaving the hall littered with shattered transparent armor and debris.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining invaders tried to break through the palace door and escape, but were stopped by the dragon language magic cast by Del Luna and Lucas - a golden energy barrier enveloped the entire hall, sealing all exits.
Some invaders tried to fight to the death and rushed towards Martin, but were hit by the dragon's breath of the guardian dragon and turned into charcoal in an instant.
After a moment, silence finally returned to the hall. Kerger gathered his energy and bowed to Martin, reporting, "Your Majesty, the intruders have been completely eliminated."
Martin looked at the mess on the ground, then at the remains of the sacrificed Orto people, his eyes cold.
He slowly began, "Gracefully bury the sacrificed Orto people. Also, pass the word down, the Imperial Legion must summon the Orto people to join the patrol."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Deluna and Lucas responded in unison.
The sunlight outside the hall shone in through the window lattices, but it could not dispel the smell of blood in the air.
"Kege, search the entire palace immediately and eliminate all remaining members of the Void Storm Troops. Leave no one behind."
Martin gave the order in a deep voice, "I will have the dark magician come later to extract their souls and confirm the total number of people who have infiltrated."
"Yes, sir!" Kage obeyed the order and his figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the hall in an instant.
Martin did not let the dragon knight remove the dragon language magic barrier, but instead summoned the legion magician in his mind.
A moment later, seven or eight dark magicians in black robes appeared outside the palace, and Del Luna stepped forward and led them into the palace.
When the dark magicians entered the hall, they were shocked to see the broken armor and debris all over the ground. They quickly suppressed their expressions and stood with their heads bowed.
"Your mission is to extract the souls from all the corpses here."
Martin's voice echoed in the hall with unquestionable majesty.
"Extract valuable information at all costs, especially the exact number of people who infiltrated."
The leading dark magician bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty! We will do our utmost to fulfill your trust."
With that, they began to move. As their black robes fluttered, dark purple magic runes emerged in the air, slowly seeping into the shattered armor and remains.
The wailing of the soul could be heard faintly, trapped in a cage made of runes by magic, waiting for cruel torture.
Martin stood in the center of the hall, his eyes swept across the busy dark magicians, and finally fell on the void outside the hall, in the direction of the Matrix Galaxy.
The hall soon echoed with the shrill wails of tortured souls. Dark purple magical light flowed through the wreckage, peeling off and piecing together the shattered fragments of consciousness bit by bit.
Ten minutes later, the leading dark magician hurried to Martin and bowed to report, "Your Majesty, everything has been thoroughly interrogated."
"A total of 352 members of the Void Storm Force have infiltrated the palace. Currently, 213 bodies have been cleared from the main hall."
Martin nodded, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he passed the remaining number of people to Kage in his mind.
"There are still one hundred and thirty-nine people roaming around the palace. We must completely eliminate them and not leave any hidden dangers."
Almost at the same time, he took out the magic stone and activated the magic circle base in the palace.
With a low hum, the entire palace was shrouded in a translucent energy shield, with runes flowing on the walls.
Completely block all entrances and exits - this is the highest level of defense in the palace, which can not only prevent invaders from escaping, but also isolate them from external interference.
"With the magic circle here, they can't escape even if they have wings." Del Luna said in a deep voice, and the dragon also let out a low roar in response.
Martin looked in the direction where Kage left, with a cold arc on the corner of his mouth.
"I wonder if the Crown Prince will be furious when he learns that the Void Storm Troops have been completely annihilated."
As the palace's defense magic circle was fully activated, the transparent energy shield was like a natural moat, completely cutting off the possibility of escape.
The members of the Void Storm Force who were still hiding in the palace suddenly panicked. They knew very well that the mission had completely failed.
"Split up and break out! As many as you can escape!"
Someone growled in the encrypted channel, and the remaining invaders immediately scattered, some trying to find the weak points of the magic circle.
Some people hid in the secret corners of the palace, holding their weapons and waiting for the opportunity - even if there was only a slight chance, they would complete the ultimate order to assassinate Martin.
Some lurkers are disguised as stone carvings in the palace, and their armor blends perfectly with the surrounding environment.
Some hid in the ventilation ducts, observing the movements outside through the gaps.
Some people even ventured into the guards' barracks, trying to steal their identification cards and escape.
However, Kage's search was like an impenetrable net.
This newly promoted Cluster-level Orto has extremely sharp perceptions, and even the slightest energy fluctuations cannot escape his detection.
His figure shuttled between the palaces, and the energy blade accurately slashed at the hidden targets again and again. The crisp sound of transparent armor shattering and the muffled groans of the invaders came one after another.
Every inch of the palace became a hunting ground, and those lurkers who tried to resist were either killed on the spot by Kage.
Or after triggering the alarm of the defense formation, they would be surrounded and attacked by the dragon knights and guards who arrived.
Martin stood quietly in the hall, listening to sporadic noises coming from afar, his eyes calm.
He knew that the turmoil created by the eldest prince and Matrix Galaxy would soon be settled.
What he needs to do is to settle the account after the storm subsides.
