Cecilia didn't bring too many people with her on this trip to collect supplies, since the Aenei tribe also needed a guard team to coordinate and manage.
But to his utter surprise, his actions gave the other side an opportunity. Mike gathered members of his family and then joined forces with the forces that originally lived in Allen City, intending to take this opportunity to kill Cecilia.
After all, Ye Chen is not in the territory right now. If he waits until he returns and then tries to stop them, they will have no chance at all. Unlike now, even if Ye Ling and the others receive the news and come over, they will not be able to stop Ye Chen because he does not have the ability to teleport freely within the territory.
"Mike, you're courting death! Do you really think you can kill me today?" Cecilia shouted angrily, showing no concern for being in dire straits.
"Hmph! What? Are you waiting for that old man Lynn to come and rescue you? You don't think I came here unprepared, do you?" Mike sneered, but his gaze suddenly sharpened as a familiar figure stepped out from Cecilia's group.
“Brother, stop! The Ani people can’t afford any more losses. Wouldn’t it be better if we could rebuild our homes properly?” Mel cried out, her face streaked with tears. Her gaze swept over Mike’s family members, each of whom looked on with a mixture of lust for power and surprise at seeing her.
“McLe?” Mike was taken aback. Even after escaping from the other world, he hadn’t forgotten to ask Ye Zhen to send someone to find his sister, which showed how deep their feelings were. However, he did not expect that Prince Cecilia had already kidnapped his sister, making her a stumbling block to his ascension to the throne.
"Brother, there are less than 20,000 Aini people on the Primordial Star now. Let's not kill each other, okay? Stop it!" Melle kept persuading her. Cecilia had already explained the seriousness of the matter to her, and she didn't want to see her brothers killing each other.
“Mr. Mike, if we don’t act soon, old man Lynn and that woman Betty will be back, and then the situation will be out of our control!” Seeing the hesitation in Mike’s eyes, an old man standing next to him spoke up.
This is the leader of a mercenary group who originally lived in Allen City. Now he has come to a new world and hopes to rise above everyone else through the reorganization of power, so that he no longer has to struggle for survival like before.
“That’s right, Mike. Don’t be so sentimental. Since Melo has gone down the wrong path, we need to correct it. Don’t forget that once Lynn and Betty come back, they won’t stop and leave us alone. We have no way out!” said another old man. He was a member of the City Lord’s Mansion in Allen City and was also Mike and Melo’s elder. If anyone wanted to seize power the most, it would undoubtedly be the City Lord’s Mansion.
"Everyone, get ready, let's go!" Hearing the crowd's words, Mel took a deep breath, then waved his right hand, and the people who came with him immediately swarmed forward, rushing towards Cecilia.
"Brother!" When she saw Mike act without hesitation, Melo's eyes were filled with disbelief. She couldn't believe that her brother, who had loved her all these years, would actually turn against her.
“Come back! Power can blind people! He’s not the Mike he used to be!” A pretty girl standing next to her advised, pulling Mel back into the guards’ protective circle.
She was one of the two princesses who came to the Primordial Planet with Cecilia, and also Melle's classmate at the Royal Academy. She couldn't bear to see the once carefree Melle become like this.
At the same time, Cecilia also looked solemn. He did not expect that the other party would not care about his sister at all and would choose to make a move directly, which made it impossible for him to use many of his prepared backup plans.
"We swear to protect His Highness the Crown Prince to the death!" shouted the head guard who had followed. All the guards responded and rushed forward to hold off the surrounding enemies.
The Royal Guards are very strong, generally at least at the second rank, and the captain is even at the third rank. They are considered very powerful among the Ennis. Under normal circumstances, Mike and the others would not dare to make a move, but today is different.
When Cecilia went out to collect supplies, she only brought one hundred people with her. Most of the others were just ordinary civilians. Facing Mike's hundreds of men, they could only put up a hard fight, but casualties continued to occur.
Cecilia was heartbroken as she looked at the guards lying in pools of blood. Every one of them was the hope of the Aini people, and they had sacrificed themselves in the civil war. How could she not feel sorry for them?
However, there was nothing they could do about the current situation. They could only hope that the elves would act quickly so that fewer Ani people would be sacrificed, whether on their side or Mike's side.
In fact, he had already figured out Mike and the others' movements before they even left the house. After all, it was a large group of hundreds of people moving together, which would naturally attract a lot of attention among the Ani people, who now numbered only a little over 10,000, even though they were also using the excuse of collecting supplies.
So as soon as Mike and the others appeared, Cecilia had already arranged for people to go find the Silver Moon Elves residing in the Aini tribe. After all, Ye Chen planned to establish an academy for alien races here, and many local tribes were assisting in its construction.
Once Ye Ling's people arrive, even if Mike is going crazy, he won't dare to continue making moves under these circumstances.
“Mike, I’ve already notified the Silvermoon Elves stationed in New Aini City. They’re on their way. If you don’t stop now, you won’t survive after causing such a huge number of casualties!” Cecilia shouted. Hearing her words, a hint of panic flashed in Mike’s eyes, but he still had no intention of stopping.
"Hmph! Now that things have come to this, I have no way out. As long as I can kill you before they arrive, I will be the new lord of New Aini City. They will never lay a hand on me for the sake of the city's stability!" Mike said in a deep voice, his magic flowing continuously. A series of fireballs came toward Cecilia, but were blocked by a guard next to him with a shield.
However, his shield was struggling against advanced magic. When the fireball was blocked, his shield turned bright red from the intense heat, and the smell of burning flesh wafted from his arm, clearly indicating that the arm holding the shield had been scalded.
"Are you so sure? That Cecilia's death makes you the ruler of the Aeneas on the Primordial Star?"
A familiar voice suddenly rang out, and everyone on the battlefield paused, turning to look in the direction of the voice. Three exquisitely beautiful Silver Moon Elves were walking from a distance, their cold faces concealing a chilling rage.
