Ultimately, the F4 team and Princess Jiu's group stayed in the castle for three days.
They also received orders from Mentor Vesa. It turned out that they were busy rescuing the Sixth Prince Varian's troops. After the rescue was successful, they would continue to contact the Noble Alliance. Some nobles had already agreed to go to the Dragon Kingdom to deal with the Void God, but Duke Udar's side was stuck in a stalemate.
On the other side, after the Void Army launched its attack, the Crown Prince led his elite troops in a fierce and relentless assault, eliminating countless Void creatures along the way. After ten days of fighting, he did not return to the castle for supplies, but continued his advance, gradually moving away from the castle's safe location.
"This is not a good thing."
Hawkehins also realized this. After all, the Void was currently in a stronger position, and if the Crown Prince and his group fell into a trap, even he would be unable to lead a team to provide support.
"The general is a veteran of countless battles, and my elder brother experienced the war that revitalized the empire. They will definitely be able to react. Alchemist, there is no need to worry."
“I understand, Your Highness.”
Just when everyone thought it would be another ordinary day, devastating news arrived...
"Quick! Is anyone there?! Come quickly and rescue Lord Alemite!"
The Imperial soldiers at the gate confirmed that the other party was indeed Alemet, the captain of the Royal Guard who had accompanied the Crown Prince and the Grand General in attacking the Void Army. They immediately reported this and allowed them to enter.
Before long, Velocia and Hawkehains rushed toward the city gate.
"Allemite... what are your injuries?"
Hawkehins' already gloomy expression darkened further as he sensed a dense void energy emanating from Allemite.
Although he knew that Allemite's physique was special and that he would not lose his consciousness due to the corruption of void energy, such injuries required a long period of recuperation and he could no longer continue fighting.
"Hawk...My lord...Please hurry and rescue His Highness the Crown Prince..."
They're...in the capital...the capital has reappeared!!!
Allemite had been holding it in all the way, and after saying those words, he completely fainted. The medical officers who rushed over immediately began to treat Lord Allemite.
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Princess and the Royal Pharmacist's expressions changed drastically.
What? Is it the imperial capital that was swept into the void vortex and vanished into thin air?
The capital city was not only home to civil and military officials, but also to the bewitched Second Prince Tius and his royal air knights.
Of course, there's also the culprit—the fourth prince, Igna!
He seized the opportunity to control his father and even defected to the Void!
If the eldest prince and his entourage rashly enter the capital, I fear...
Hawkehins, realizing this, also turned extremely grim.
He then turned to look at the Ninth Princess and bowed deeply to her.
"Your Highness, as subjects, we cannot stand idly by when His Highness the First Prince is in danger. We urge you to remain here and protect the royal family's base. Is this a suitable course of action?"
"Alright, I will protect this place well, in the name of the royal family."
Velocia gave Hawkehynes a royal salute, and after bidding farewell to Velocia, he began to gather the reserve team they had previously set aside.
When Liu Lang and the others came out, they saw Hawke Hines leading his army to prepare for battle.
"Why the sudden deployment?"
"Brother Liu Lang, look, it's the madman Kuiyuer!"
Liu Lang looked in the direction Xiao Dai pointed and saw Quiyuer waving to them.
"Is this the power of the Hawke-Heins gene serum? It's incredible."
Liu Lang was also amazed and greeted Queyuer.
It's astonishing that Quiyuer, who was once at the early stage of the eight-star level, has now reached the mid-stage of the nine-star level. This incredible speed of advancement is sure to make many ability users envious, and it's no wonder that the morale of the First Prince's side is so high.
After all, their daily progress is visible to the naked eye, right?
When Liu Lang and the others returned after finishing their melon-eating, they saw Bu Xiaosai with a serious expression.
"Prepare for battle, everyone."
"What do you mean? Lao Bu, what did you see this time?"
“A magical omen tells me that danger is approaching.”
Is danger...approaching?
......
"Sure enough, I was wondering why the Void Army that fought us before knew military strategy. It turns out you were controlling them from behind, Second Brother."
A glint of light appeared in the eyes of the eldest prince, Dakra.
Now they are quite well-equipped and powerful. Perhaps the void is not as strong as they imagined. They have been killing for so long and there has been no decent resistance.
Second brother, fourth brother, let me show you what level your eldest brother has reached after taking the gene serum!
Kings should not meet; this is the most basic rule on the battlefield, because once they meet, it is a fight to the death.
And Dakra actually charged towards the Second Prince, Tius. Keep in mind that they were both cursed by the imperial bloodline, and their cultivation could only reach the peak of the eighth star. And their opponent was Tius, who was known as the royal war god. Was this battle really fair to the First Prince...?
Even while controlled by the void, Tius's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Because the elder brother in front of him was actually at the peak of the nine-star realm!
What?
Why...
"Second brother, no, or rather, the fourth brother who controls you, are you paying attention to me?"
"I've come for revenge, and I'll start with...my second brother."
