"Hurry! His Highness the Crown Prince is about to collapse! We must get to the royal apothecary as soon as possible, quick!"
Inside the carriage, some of the royal guards, exclusively assigned to the Crown Prince, were urging the spirited horses to gallop.
The reason why the Royal Guards, whose average strength is at the late stage of the Seven Stars level, are so anxious is because their loyal eldest prince has been betrayed by others!
The traitor was none other than the vice-captain of the Royal Guard!
He actually placed the Void Stone into the Crown Prince's body himself!
"That damned traitor... How dare he!"
"Let's run first. The captain and his men are currently stationed at the mansion, and we can't get back at all."
"The vice-captain is most likely controlled by the power of that void, but we can't let that stop us from showing mercy. If you don't want to become fertilizer by the roadside, you'd better be on your guard!"
The royal guards watched with heavy hearts as the eldest prince began to ramble on and on.
The guards who had suddenly betrayed them numbered thirty, but due to the sneak attack, the original forty guards were reduced to fifteen.
While it can't be said that the others are definitely dead, it's certainly unlikely that they'll meet again.
And everyone could feel that familiar aura from behind; it was the vice-captain, a mid-stage eight-star!
They couldn't win, and the vice-captain's target was His Highness the Crown Prince!
If His Highness the Crown Prince is also controlled by the void, then the Royal Guard will also be in danger of annihilation!
"If the Crown Prince hadn't fought that mysterious mage earlier... he wouldn't have been defeated by him!"
"Enemy attack!!!"
In the end, they still couldn't outrun the vice-captain. Three members of the Imperial Guards jumped down to try and stop them, but how long could the three late-stage Seven Stars fight against the mid-stage Eight Star?
More enemies!
But no one expected that the vice-captain who had been keeping them in suspense was actually a decoy!
The other team members who were controlled by the void came to their front, forcing their team to send out six more members to counterattack.
And now... they only have the eldest prince and six team members left.
But the worst was yet to come. At the final exit they were about to leave through, ten members of the Imperial Guard, corrupted by the void, appeared!
"This is the real battle..."
"It's better to die in battle than to be controlled without knowing why."
"Allemite, from now on... it's your turn to protect Lord Dakra."
"Me...me?"
Faced with a life-or-death crisis, the other Royal Guards entrusted their hope of survival to Alemite, who had joined the Royal Guard the latest. He was somewhat taken aback, as his brothers had all said these words to him at the same time.
"Stop talking nonsense! We might meet again soon. Let's go! Take His Highness and get out of here!"
"Of course, we're not necessarily referring to the secret realm, provided you also fail. Alright kid, get lost!"
After the last guard finished speaking, everyone rushed forward to buy Alemite time to break through!
The veins on Allemite's fists bulged, but upon seeing the Crown Prince in great distress, he could only roar and charge out with his spirit horse!
Take care of yourself!
Without looking back, Allemite led the Crown Prince out of the final encirclement, and they were just one step away from breaking through the entrance!
"Hehehe!"
"who?!"
Allemite swung his spear backhand, blocking the sudden attack in one blow!
He has already led the eldest prince out of the encirclement, but who are you?
"Hehehe!"
This seemingly insane man actually possessed the power of an early-stage eight-star! But Alemet was only a late-stage seven-star. He tried to escape with the eldest prince, but was repeatedly caught by this madman. In the end, he could only show a look of despair as he looked through the rocks at everyone who had sacrificed themselves for the eldest prince.
He... still couldn't do it... I'm sorry...
Allemite hid the Crown Prince and then took out his spear to face the madman before him alone...
One, two, three... dozens of times! Alemite's spear broke, leaving only the handle, yet he persisted, at least in his eyes a look of resignation to death.
Just then! A sudden tremor and a whooshing sound came from afar!
"He's here! Quick! Save His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The prime minister roared, and as he spoke, he unleashed a divine shockwave that shot towards the madman in front of him!
Seeing that someone else was taking the initiative to fight him, this madman in the early stage of the eighth star also let out a series of cackling sounds, and then began to fight fiercely with the prime minister!
But after all, this madman was just one person. Mark and Eleta, who arrived later, also stepped in to help. One was an early-stage eight-star, one was a mid-stage eight-star, and one was a peak eight-star, all working together to fight against an early-stage eight-star.
How can you possibly win?
Soon, the madman was apprehended by the Prime Minister and his team.
Allemite, whose tension had been building up, collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
"Don't worry, you're safe."
The Ninth Princess stepped forward and used life magic to heal Alemite.
The others who arrived later carried out the eldest prince, and then everyone's expression changed.
The Crown Prince's chest has shown signs of becoming hollow. What's going on?
...
"Two pieces of news. The good news is that Xiao Dai's Apocalypse Sacred Domain can purify the Void Power in the Crown Prince's body, while the Ninth Princess's Ice Crystal Snow Domain can suppress the Void Stone within her body."
